Chapter 894 : Legacy of the Yin-Yang Pearl

"It is indeed related."

Exchanging a glance with the others, Eldrin Chen then strode into the Grand Hall.

Upon their Initial Entry into the Grand Hall, their expressions grew solemn. There, suspended within the hall, was a treasure pearl wreathed in the dual hues of Yin and Yang [the complementary forces of dark/passive and light/active].

Beneath this pearl, three more radiant treasures gleamed.

Among these three treasures, the first was a scroll of a Cultivation Art [a mystical technique for cultivation], the second was a precious vase swirling with Yin-Yang spiritual essence, and the third was a wondrous substance emanating a five-colored aurora.

"This is—!"

The moment his eyes fell upon the four treasures, Eldrin Chen's pupils contracted sharply.

While he did not recognize the others, the Yin-Yang Treasure Pearl [a treasure pearl embodying the dual forces of Yin and Yang] contained incomplete divine patterns of the Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles governing reality]. This clearly marked it as no mundane artifact, but a Quasi-Immortal Treasure [a treasure of near-immortal grade, exceedingly rare in the mortal realm].

With this realization, Eldrin Chen immediately channeled his Mana [cultivated spiritual energy] to draw the pearl to him, beginning to refine it using the Yin-Yang Mutual Cultivation Covenant [a cultivation art based on the harmony of Yin and Yang forces].

The method proved effective. Before long, he had completely refined and claimed the treasure pearl. Official source: audio-novel . com. Unauthorized reproduction is prohibited.

After refining the treasure pearl, Eldrin Chen finally understood the origins of these several treasures, as well as this Cultivation Cave.

It turned out this Cultivation Cave was named the Yin-Yang Immortal Abode [an immortal's dwelling place imbued with the profound principles of Yin and Yang]. It was left behind over seven hundred thousand years ago by the founding patriarch of the Yin-Yang Sect [the Sect of Yin and Yang], the Dual Cultivation Ancient Ancestor.

Among the several treasures, the Yin-Yang Treasure Pearl was named the 'Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Pearl'. It was formed by the convergence of the Yin and Yang Dual Qi [the primordial energies of passive Yin and active Yang that constitute the universe], containing the power of the Yin-Yang Law. Originally, it was an exceedingly rare Immortal Treasure.

However, this object's gestation was incomplete. Even after being refined by the Dual Cultivation Ancient Ancestor, its grade only reached the Quasi-Immortal [a rank just below that of a true Immortal Treasure] level.

Yet, even so, this Quasi-Immortal Treasure possessed astonishing and extraordinary wondrous uses.

Its combat prowess was not formidable, but it was a Supreme Immortal Treasure for assisting cultivation [aiding in the practice of cultivation], offering immense benefits to a cultivator's path of cultivation and self-refinement.

The Dual Cultivation Ancient Ancestor's innate aptitude was originally quite ordinary. However, in his youth, he was exceptionally dashing and romantic, particularly adept at attracting the admiration of female cultivators. It is said that in his lifetime, he had over three thousand official Daoist companions and concubines.

The reason he was able to achieve immortality was precisely by relying on this 'Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Pearl'. Through continuous Dual Cultivation [a cultivation method involving harmonizing spiritual energies with a partner, often of the opposite gender] with his Daoist companions and concubines, he unknowingly cultivated his way to the realm of immortality.

He pioneered supreme methods like the Yin-Yang Interlinked Cultivation Covenant [a profound covenant art for synchronized Yin-Yang cultivation], becoming the first pioneer within the Purple Realm to achieve immortality through the Dual Cultivation path.

"This Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Pearl can vastly increase a cultivator's speed of cultivation."

"If one were to combine this with the Dual Cultivation method [a cultivation technique practiced by two partners in harmony], and further supplement it with the aid of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Peach [a legendary spiritual fruit that greatly enhances cultivation], one's cultivation base would advance by leaps and bounds."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, stowing away the Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Pearl [a mystical pearl that harmonizes the dual cultivation process] as he said, "It seems that from now on, perhaps in merely three to five hundred years, we might be able to break through a single cultivation realm."

"Pah!"

Upon hearing this, Lyra Jiang and Verdant Consort could not help but roll their eyes at him, a complex mixture of delight and bashfulness flickering deep within their gazes.

Eldrin Chen remained utterly unperturbed, his attention turning instead to the remaining treasures.

Among the three remaining treasures, that scroll of Daoist scripture was the complete version of the 'Yin-Yang Mutual Cultivation Covenant' [a supreme scripture detailing the profound art of dual cultivation].

This scripture represents a peerless method within the Dual Cultivation lineage, one capable of guiding a cultivator all the way to condensing a Dao Fruit [the ultimate fruit of one's cultivation path, symbolizing ascension] at the Ascension to Immortality Realm. It can truly be counted among the world's most supreme techniques.

Only after examining the Yin-Yang Mutual Cultivation Covenant did Eldrin Chen come to understand how that Dual Cultivation Ancient Ancestor had managed to achieve immortality.

The method is profoundly mystical. It records various Dual Cultivation techniques that can rapidly increase a cultivator's cultivation base and even assist them in coalescing a Yin-Yang Dao Fruit [a Dao Fruit harmonizing the complementary forces of Yin and Yang].

However, Eldrin Chen believed the most crucial aspect was the method's ability to allow partners to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, thereby achieving the legendary state of Yin-Yang Mutual Complement [a perfect, synergistic harmony between Yin and Yang energies].

According to the description of this method, when a man and a woman perform this Dual Cultivation [a cultivation practice involving the harmonious union of Yin and Yang energies between partners], they can not only share a portion of their insights into the Dao [the fundamental principle or path in Chinese philosophy and cultivation], but also draw upon each other's Pure Yin and Pure Yang Power [the refined, fundamental energies of Yin and Yang], thereby supplementing their own foundational roots and innate talent.

In the past, that Dual Cultivation Ancient Ancestor was not considered a heaven-defying genius; logically, his path to immortality should have been exceedingly difficult. Yet, he unexpectedly managed to Ascend to Immortal Eternity [achieve the ultimate state of immortality and transcendence].

The fundamental reason was that during his Dual Cultivation with his three thousand dao companions, the Dual Cultivation Ancient Ancestor continuously remedied the deficiencies in his own foundation, ultimately breaking through in one fell swoop to the realm of immortality.

"Borrowing the power of Yin-Yang Mutual Complement [the divine principle of Yin and Yang complementing and completing each other] to supplement one's own foundational roots."

"Although this Dual Cultivation Ancient Ancestor was not blessed with overwhelming talent, he can still be considered a man of extraordinary comprehension."

Eldrin Chen murmured to himself, a faint smile then gracing his lips. Dive deeper into the Dao at http://www . audio-novel.com.

He did not wish to comment excessively on the romantic affairs of his predecessor. However, with the aid of this method, he could now impart his own insights into the Five Elements Arcane Power [the profound and mysterious power derived from the five fundamental elements] to Lyra Jiang through the practice of Dual Cultivation.

With this assistance, the hope for Lyra Jiang to one day fully comprehend the Primordial Chaos Secret Power [the esoteric power born from the primordial, undifferentiated state of chaos] would be significantly increased.

Among the four treasures, the Dao manual and the precious pearl were both supreme objects of unparalleled quality. The other two were slightly inferior, yet still possessed extraordinary and remarkable qualities.

The third treasure was a vial of Five-Colored Divine Marrow [a divine essence imbued with the power of the five elements, crucial for certain cultivation arts]. This substance was the key to cultivating the Five-Colored Divine Radiance [a divine ability manifesting as a radiant light of five colors] and was also the supreme treasure that Lyra Jiang had sensed.

Within the final treasure vase lay nine Glazed Treasure Pill. These pills were named the 'Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Pill' and were a type of sixth-rank, low-grade Pure Yang Treasure Pill [a pill of supreme yang energy, beneficial for cultivation].

If consumed alone, their effect would be merely that of a typical sixth-rank, low-grade pill. However, if paired with the Yin-Yang Mutual Cultivation Covenant [a profound cultivation art for harmonizing yin and yang energies] for male-female Dual Cultivation [a cultivation method where partners harmonize their spiritual energies], their efficacy would become extraordinarily potent and peerless.

According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, a single pill would be sufficient for a cultivator at the early Primordial Spirit stage [the initial phase of the Primordial Spirit realm, where one's spiritual core is formed]. If refined through Dual Cultivation with a female Primordial Spirit partner, it could save the effort of two millennia of arduous cultivation.

Eldrin Chen took the Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Pill. He kept one for himself, then gave three others to Lyra Jiang, Verdant Consort, and Lila.

Seeing five pills remained, he handed two to Yvonne the Violet Consort and Nyssa Qu, saying, "With the great battle imminent, you may refine these pills now."

"Even without employing the Dual Cultivation method, the effect upon refinement would be halved, yet it would still be sufficient to greatly advance your cultivation bases."

Upon hearing this, Nyssa Qu and Yvonne the Violet Consort immediately accepted the Treasure Pill.

Yvonne the Violet Consort took the Treasure Pill, glanced at Eldrin Chen, and seemed on the verge of speaking, yet the words remained unspoken.

In contrast, Nyssa Qu gritted her teeth, her face flushing with a mixture of embarrassment and resolve as she offered a deep curtsy. "This battle is perilous beyond measure. Greater strength is the only assurance of victory."

"This humble concubine is willing to dedicate herself to the Young Master, to aid your cultivation in reaching a higher realm, so that you may slay the Black Dragon and bring this tribulation to an end."

Beside him, Lyra Jiang was inwardly taken aback by these words. However, Lila and Verdant Consort seemed to understand the unspoken truth and offered no further comment.

Eldrin Chen was momentarily stunned, but then shook his head after a brief pause. "While resisting the Demonic Cultivator horde is of paramount importance, it does not warrant such a profound sacrifice."

"Even by merely refining this elixir [a potent pill for cultivation], I am certain our cultivation bases would advance significantly."

"My lord..."

A shadow seemed to pass over Nyssa Qu's eyes. She seemed to wish to say more, yet found the words lodged painfully in her heart, impossible to voice.

Seeing her plea had not been granted, Yvonne the Violet Consort stole a glance at Lyra Jiang and Lila. A complex, ineffable feeling stirred within her.

"This battle is perilous. To secure our chances of victory, if you are willing to become my husband's concubine, you could refine this elixir through the Dual Cultivation method [a practice where two cultivators harmonize their energies for mutual advancement]."

After a moment of heavy silence, Lyra Jiang spoke.

In all honesty, she was reluctant to share her Dao Companion [a cultivator's lifelong partner, akin to a spouse]. Yet, among the Cultivators of the World, how many male cultivators were without concubines? Official source: audio-novel . com. Unauthorized reproduction is prohibited.
