Chapter 1315 : Treasure in the Earthspring

A supreme-grade earth vein that he urgently needed—Eldrin had no reason to abandon it.

He immediately withdrew from the Sea of Returning Abyss and, after flying for several years, finally arrived within the Sea of Earthly Springs.

In these waters, Elder Earthspring had been waiting for a long time.

Upon seeing Eldrin, his pupils contracted slightly. He immediately cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, fellow daoist. Having now ascended to the Ninth Tribulation Immortal realm, it seems the Great Luo Heaven is within your reach." "You flatter me."

Eldrin smiled faintly and said modestly, "Across the vast Qingcang Immortal Realm, there are over a 100 cave heavens, with no fewer than several 100 Celestial Immortals among their ranks."

"Among these Celestial Immortals and supreme experts, over 30 percent had once cultivated foundations as 9-Tribulation Immortals, yet even they had failed to ascend to the Great Perfection Realm."

"How could someone of my limited virtue ever hope to stand out from the crowd?" "You are too modest, Fellow Daoist."

The Earthspring Ancestor gave a faint smile and said, "I believe that with your innate talent, at the very least, you will become a peerless Celestial Immortal, and there is even a possibility of glimpsing the realm of the Great Luo."

With those words, neither engaged in further pleasantries.

Eldrin glanced at the Earthspring Immortal Isle and remarked, "Fellow Daoist, this Earthspring Immortal Isle is situated upon a supreme-grade Wutu earth vein. Its worth is likely comparable to that of a Heaven-Opening Treasure."

"Since you are entrusting it to me today, what treasure would you require in exchange?" Upon hearing this, Patriarch Earthspring responded with a faint smile.

He did not answer immediately. Instead, he retrieved a mass of profound dark-brown qi from his sleeve and handed it to Eldrin, saying.

"I heard you've been seeking this treasure for years, Fellow Daoist?" "This is the supreme-grade Wutu Source!"

Eldrin's expression shifted slightly, a trace of astonishment flickering across his face.

He took a deep breath and spoke, "I am indeed in urgent need of this item. Please name your price, Fellow Daoist."

Lord Earthspring, however, gave a faint smile as he handed the supreme-grade Wutu Source Qi to Eldrin and spoke with serene composure.

"This supreme-grade Wutu Source Qi and the supreme-grade Wutu Earth Vein, I can bestow upon you, Fellow Daoist. However, I have 1 request."

"I wish to wait until the Great Calamity concludes, Fellow Daoist, for you to take charge and hand over the White Nether Blessed Land to this old man."

"Oh?"

Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly as he instantly grasped the scheme of the Earthspring Ancestor.

As a rogue cultivator, Patriarch Earthspring had always made Earthspring Immortal Isle his cultivation sanctuary.

This was not an issue initially, but ever since he broke through to the Earth Immortal realm 200,000 years ago, the spiritual veins and terrestrial pulses of Earthspring Immortal Island had become insufficient.

This time, Patriarch Earthspring had entered the tribulation with the aim of securing a blessed land and sacred site, laying the foundation to establish his own sect.

Although the Earthspring Elder now occupied the White Abyss Blessed Land, this sanctuary was ultimately secured through collective effort. The greatest contributions came from the Abyssal Return Immortal Alliance, the Glazed Jade Blessed Land, and the Great Mystery Divine Spirits.

Once the great calamity concludes, redistribution will undoubtedly be necessary.

In this situation, Patriarch Earthspring, coveting this White Nether Blessed Land, sought to exploit a backdoor through Eldrin (Person Name).

Having grasped this truth, Eldrin fell deep into contemplation.

The value of this White Nether Blessed Land was not insignificant, but Eldrin now possessed the Abyssal Return Blessed Land, and the Setting Sun Blessed Land would soon be his as well.

In such circumstances, the White Nether Blessed Land, located far across several seas, was not something Eldrin (Person Name) absolutely needed and could indeed be relinquished.

Among the other Earth Immortals, Lady Sun hailed from the supreme blessed land of Glazed Paradise, while the Great Mystery Deity also possessed their own blessed land as a cultivation sanctuary. Neither had any need for an additional cultivation abode, making them undoubtedly willing to cede this blessed land to others.

At this thought, Eldrin gave a slight nod and spoke after a moment of contemplation, "I have the authority to grant you this blessed land."

"However, the value of the White Abode blessed land far surpassed that of a single supreme-grade earth vein and a supreme-grade source qi."

"You still need to make arrangements with the Great Mystique Divine Spirit and Glazed Paradise, and also extend greetings to all the half-step Earth Immortals who participated in the battle."

"I understand."

The Earthspring Elder gave a bitter laugh, realizing he would still have to pay a hefty price.

Seeing this, Eldrin spoke up, "The Azure River Ancient Sect now faces imminent peril. In the days ahead, we will undoubtedly face arduous battles. If you can achieve sufficient merit, I have the authority to grant you the White Nether Blessed Land."

Hearing this, the Earthspring Elder let out a subtle sigh of relief, yet an expression of profound gravity surfaced on his face.

Recalling the siege of the Qingchuan Ancient Sect, he spoke without hesitation: "With the Qingchuan Ancient Sect now teetering on the brink of collapse, should we truly stand by without intervening?"

"It is not that I am unwilling to intervene, but that I am powerless to do so."

Eldrin let out a bitter laugh and sighed, "At present, Sun Ji is still digesting her gains, the Great Mystery Divine Spirit is striving to break through to the mid-stage Earth Immortal realm, and my wife remains in seclusion refining the Source of the Dao."

"With just the 2 of us, even if we go to reinforce them, it would be nothing more than throwing our lives away."

"I must find another way to seize the opportunity to turn the tables." "Alas."

The Earthspring Elder heaved a sigh, then spoke with resignation, "The 1000 Dragon Lake bears a life-or-death grudge against us both. Once the Greenriver Ancient Sect is annihilated, I fear we shall be next in line."

Eldrin’s heart sank slightly at these words. Even a fool could see that once the Greenstream Ancient Sect was annihilated, the Abyssal Return Sea would be next in line.

At this thought, Eldrin spoke with considerable gravity, "For now, we can only bide our time and see if an opportunity for a turnaround presents itself."

With that said, Eldrin spoke no more.

He channeled the Primordial Qi Grasping Hand, extracting the supreme Wu Earth Vein from the Earthspring Immortal Isle.

After completing this step, Eldrin spoke: "From my perspective, I fear the Greenstream Ancient Sect will likely fall within a 1000 years."

"If the demonic tribes invade a 1000 years from now, fellow cultivator, you may come to my Abyssal Sea. With the Cosmic Star Formation guarding it, we might be able to hold our ground against them."

Elder Spring’s eyes flickered slightly as he nodded at once. “Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist. If the situation truly becomes untenable, I hope you will remember: *As long as the green hills remain, there will never be a shortage of firewood.*” “I understand.”

Eldrin nodded in understanding, grasping the meaning behind Earthspring Elder's words—he was to abandon the Abyssal Sea at the critical moment and flee alone to save himself.

However, the Abyssal Return Sea was a domain Eldrin had cultivated for 70,000 years. Within its depths lay countless treasures, including vast quantities of spiritual roots on the verge of ascension, along with hundreds of millions of clansmen and close companions.

Eldrin would never abandon it unless absolutely necessary.

Earthspring Elder glanced at Eldrin’s expression and immediately understood his thoughts. With a cupped-hand salute, he said, “This journey has reached a satisfactory conclusion. I shall now return to continue my cultivation.”

"Hmm, we shall meet again someday."

Eldrin nodded and bid farewell to Patriarch Earthspring.

After bidding farewell to Patriarch Earthspring, he made his way back to the Return Abyss Sea.

After returning to the Guixu Sea, Eldrin immediately retrieved the 5 supreme source energies of Geng Metal, Jia Wood, Bing Fire, Ren Water, and Wu Earth, then began cultivating his innate supernatural power—Primordial Unity Qi.

As Eldrin's self-created innate divine ability, this Primordial Chaos Qi stood as the most supreme orthodox-level divine art.
