Chapter 892 : Forging Primordial Chaos

"Primordial Chaos Genesis Qi [the primordial energy from which all creation is born]."

Upon hearing this, Lyra Jiang could not help but furrow her brow, a trace of solemnity appearing between her eyebrows.

That Primordial Chaos Genesis Qi was of the Sixth Rank High Grade [a pinnacle grade of spiritual objects], a treasure exceedingly rare in this world. It was said that it could only be naturally conceived within a Primordial Chaos Ancestral Vein [a legendary spiritual vein containing the essence of primordial chaos].

Within the Purple Realm, there existed no Primordial Chaos Ancestral Vein, making it naturally impossible for such a supreme treasure to be born.

Fortunately, aside from natural conception, this object was not entirely beyond the possibility of creation.

It was said that several hundred thousand years ago, an Ancient Immortals [immortal cultivators from ancient times] of the Purple Realm, whose talent was utterly breathtaking, once gathered five types of Pure Yang Mother Qi [the purest essence of yang energy] and, placing them within an Alchemy Furnace [a specialized furnace for refining spiritual pills and essences], forged Primordial Chaos Genesis Qi through sheer human effort.

Thinking of this, Lyra Jiang spoke, "With your alchemical skill, could you refine a single batch of Primordial Chaos Mother Qi [the foundational mother energy of primordial chaos]?"

"I am still far from capable."

Eldrin Chen shook his head and said, "The Primordial Chaos Mother Qi is one of the most supreme Spiritual Object [objects imbued with profound spiritual power] in the mortal realm. How arduous would it be to forge it by human hand?"

"Only if I were to break through to the Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage [the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit realm, a profound level of spiritual cultivation] might I have a sliver of confidence in successfully refining it." Visit audio - novel . com to enjoy the complete series.

Verdant Consort [a powerful demonic cultivator] nodded upon hearing this and spoke, "It seems the most pressing matter at present is still to cultivate swiftly to the Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage [the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit realm, representing a significant advancement in a cultivator's spiritual core]."

"That is indeed the case." Eldrin Chen nodded and said, "Fortunately, over these years, we have gathered all five types of Pure Yang Mother Qi [a primordial spiritual energy of pure Yang essence, crucial for high-level cultivation breakthroughs]. Now, we need only wait for our cultivation base to advance further."

Suppressing his thoughts, Eldrin Chen immediately departed for the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire [a perilous region of eternal, scorching flames].

Upon arriving at the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire, he discovered that Thalion Chen had emerged from his secluded cultivation.

After so many years apart, Old Granduncle [an elder of the Chen Clan] possessed an even more majestic and imposing aura, bearing a hint of transcendent, heroic vigor.

"Three Jiazi-time [a cycle of sixty years] have passed. It seems Old Granduncle has made considerable progress in his Mana [the spiritual energy cultivated and wielded by practitioners]."

Thalion Chen nodded with a smile. "Thanks to the open-mindedness of the Dao Palace Sacred Land [a revered sanctuary of cultivation], which provided the method for refining the Eight Trigrams Treasure Formation [a powerful defensive and offensive array based on the eight trigrams], I have successfully forged it."

As the Old Patriarch [the venerable leader of the Chen Clan] spoke, he waved his sleeve, revealing eight treasure banners. Upon them, a resplendent divine light faintly shimmered, the eight supreme forces within them distorting the very fabric of space.

After these long years, Old Granduncle had finally succeeded in elevating all eight treasure banners. Both his cultivation realm and combat prowess had undergone a tremendous leap.

Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but reveal a smile. "With this Formation [a structured arrangement of power, often for defense, attack, or cultivation] in hand, Old Granduncle's combat strength likely rivals that of a Primordial Spirit, Late Stage [the late stage of the Primordial Spirit realm, a pinnacle of power for most cultivators] expert."

"You flatter me too much."

"Although this Eight Trigrams Treasure Formation is formidable, with my current Mana [the spiritual energy used to power techniques and artifacts], I can only activate it for ten strikes at most. How could it compare to a Primordial Spirit, Late Stage [the advanced stage of the Primordial Spirit realm, where one's spiritual core is highly refined] cultivator?"

Thalion Chen shook his head and replied with a wry smile.

However, pausing at this point, he continued with a chuckle, "But within this Flaming Prison Sea of Fire, this old man can indeed hold his ground against a Primordial Spirit, Late Stage foe."

Eldrin Chen nodded upon hearing this, understanding the logic in Thalion Chen's words.

The Eight Trigrams Treasure Formation possessed peerless might, yet its greatest flaw was its immense consumption of Mana. With Thalion Chen's cultivation level, he could sustain it for no more than ten strikes.

Yet, within the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire, bolstered by the boundless fire-essence power of the sea itself, Old Granduncle would no longer be hampered by Mana limitations, allowing him to unleash the formation's full power.

Thinking of this, a flicker of joy arose in Eldrin Chen's heart.

Without further ado, he proceeded directly into the depths of the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire and located the Phoenix Egg.

Yet now, after so many years had passed, the Phoenix Egg still seemed to be in its gestation phase, showing not the slightest sign of imminent hatching—a development that greatly defied his expectations.

Seeing this, Thalion Chen stroked his long beard and said, "This Vermilion Bird egg should have hatched long ago. However, after receiving your Primordial Essence [the most fundamental and purest form of spiritual energy], it has faintly gained a trace of Innate Qi [the primordial energy present at the dawn of creation]."

"Now, it seems to be transforming into the legendary 'Separated Flame Vermilion Bird'. Its bloodline and Deep-Seated Foundation [the fundamental spiritual and physical basis of a cultivator's power] will likely far surpass its former state, and its gestation period has consequently lengthened."

"A Separated Flame Vermilion Bird…"

Eldrin Chen furrowed his brow slightly, then nodded in understanding.

The Separated Flame Vermilion Bird was akin to the Yi Wood Azure Dragon—a true, top-tier Mythical Immortal Seed [a being with a constitution destined for immortal ascension]. Possessing talent on par with an Earth Immortal Progenitor [a foundational immortal progenitor], it would most likely cultivate to the late stage of the Ascension Immortal Realm if it did not fall prematurely.

Such a supreme immortal avian's aptitude was exceedingly rare in the world. One step further would lead to the legendary Innate Divine Spirit [a being born as a natural deity], or even an Innate Sacred Being whose origins rivaled a Great Luo Golden Immortal [the highest realm of immortal cultivation]. The complete novel can be found at audio novel.com.

"Legends say the Separated Flame Vermilion Bird is innately imbued with the power of Separated Flame [a primordial flame of creation and separation]. Upon birth, it possesses cultivation at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection. With but a little cultivation, it can comprehend the legendary 'Southern Brightness Sunfire' Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles governing reality]."

"For a being of such profound origins, a lengthy gestation period is only natural."

Eldrin Chen said with a smile, a flicker of joy in his heart.

Although this Separated Flame Vermilion Bird would require some years yet to emerge, once it did, it would possess Nascent Soul Great Perfection power. It might prove to be of immense aid to Eldrin Chen in the times to come.

With this thought, he suppressed the notion of forcing the Separated Flame Vermilion Bird to emerge prematurely. Turning to Old Granduncle, he said, "Having just emerged from seclusion, my cultivation cannot progress significantly again in the short term. Therefore, I intend to set some plans in motion."

"Oh?" Thalion Chen responded, then inquired, "You mean to say…"

"Indeed."

Eldrin Chen gave a firm nod and began to explain, "My Great Derivation Yin-Yang Stellar Dao has been refined to the realm of a Pure Yang Divine Ability."

"Through divination, I have discerned that within the Western Pole Eternal Sands Domain, a contingency left by the Ancient Immortals [powerful cultivators from a bygone era who have ascended or transcended] is about to activate. Inside, a fateful opportunity to confront the coming tribulation may manifest."

"I shall use this opportunity as the stage for my scheme, to lure that Black Dragon into its depths and settle our enmity once and for all."

Upon hearing this, Thalion Chen's expression shifted dramatically. He could not help but draw a sharp breath. "That Black Dragon possesses heaven-defying power. Even though its injuries are not fully healed, it still ranks among the pinnacle of the Violet Palace realm [the cultivation stage following the Golden Core realm]."

"With your current level of cultivation, are you truly confident you can succeed?"

"I do not possess absolute certainty."

Eldrin Chen shook his head, yet his countenance remained utterly serene. "The Black Dragon's combat prowess shakes the heavens. With my present strength, I have no sure means of subduing it."

"However, within the Immortal Cultivation Cave, the void will be completely sealed and stabilized. This is the best opportunity to slay him."

Upon hearing this, Old Granduncle could not help but sigh inwardly.

He understood the logic in Soren Cheng's words. If they missed this chance, once Eldrin Chen broke through to the Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage, the Black Dragon would likely refuse to engage him in battle again.

Beings of the True Dragon lineage possessed such profound nature—they could expand to fill the cosmos, their forms stretching across starry Ronan [a vast, mythical river of stars], or shrink to hide within the smallest mote of dust, becoming utterly invisible.

A True Dragon at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection realm, if unwilling to fight head-on and solely focused on fleeing and hiding, would likely be impossible to capture even for a Demigod Ancestor.

By that time, unless Eldrin Chen ascended to become an Immortal, it would be exceedingly difficult to ferret out the Black Dragon.

With this thought, Thalion Chen's expression turned gravely serious. "You intend to strike at the Black Dragon," he asked, "but surely he is aware of this danger. I fear he may not appear."

"He will."

Eldrin Chen shook his head, his confidence unwavering. "The opportunities within an Immortal's legacy site are of a heaven-defying caliber," he stated.

"In the past, it was precisely such an opportunity that allowed Peng the Roc Demon Sage to break through to the Half-Immortal Realm in one fell swoop. With the contention for such a Great Dao [a supreme cultivation path or principle] laid before him, even knowing the immense peril, he will not be able to sit idle."
