Chapter 1408 : 13 Spirit Roots

"Although this was partly related to the Eightfold Celestial Dragon Diagram, it was evident that the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace was severely wounded, his strength far inferior to his prime."

Upon hearing this, the women nodded with faint smiles gracing their lips.

A Half-Step Celestial Immortal wielding the power of the Taiyi Foundation possesses combat strength far surpassing the limits of an Earth Immortal.

Logically speaking, even if 10 Earth Immortals at the Great Perfection stage were to besiege such a supreme powerhouse, they would likely be defeated 1 by 1.

Yet now, even with the aid of 3 Earth Immortals at the Great Perfection stage, he still failed to kill the 7 Mysteries Daoist. While this was partly due to the Eightfold Celestial Dragon Diagram, it clearly demonstrated how severely his combat prowess had declined.

"The Palace Master of Flowing Fire likely retains only 50 to 60 percent of her power."

Eldrin murmured softly before speaking, "Perhaps if 3 to 5 Earth Immortals at the Great Perfection stage joined forces, they might barely stand a chance against it."

"Mm." Lyra nodded, yet shook her head. "With our current strength as a party of 4, even combined we can at most rival a terrestrial immortal at the Great Perfection stage. We're still far from being able to confront it."

Seraphina Qu (Person Name) nodded slightly at this and inquired, "We concealed our presence in this battle. I wonder if they might have detected any traces of us."

Qing Ji pondered briefly before responding, "As for the Inferno Prison Halberd we activated, only a handful of our closest allies are aware this treasure has fallen into our possession."

"Back then, they joined forces with us to slay the Heavenly Prison Fire Lord and thwarted the Heavenly Prison Patriarch's scheme. To avoid being purged by the Patriarch, they would never dare spread this information."

Now, with the majority of the Sky Prison Clan's elite forces fallen in battle, they would certainly not voluntarily disclose the death of the Blaze Monarch of the Sky Prison, lest others detect their vulnerability.

Eldrin nodded slightly before speaking, "In that case, their primary suspect should likely be the Tianyu Clan."

"After all, the Sky Prison Clan holds a deep-seated grudge against the Flowing Fire Star Palace, so sabotaging the schemes of the Star Palace Lord is only to be expected."

Seeing this, Lyra (Person Name) immediately spoke up, "Regardless, we've offended 3 Earth Immortal Perfection cultivators this time."

"To prevent them from suspecting us, we must quickly return to the Sea of Returning Abyss."

"Very well."

Eldrin nodded and immediately led the group toward the Return-to-Emptiness Blessed Land.

Thus, in the blink of an eye, over a year had passed before they finally returned to the Guixu Blessed Land.

Returning to the blessed land, Eldrin immediately took out all 200-some spiritual roots and began distributing them.

Looking at these spiritual roots, he said, "Within each of the heavens we have opened, it would be best to plant only spiritual roots that align with the fundamental attributes of that heaven."

Upon hearing this, Lyra (Person Name) spoke up, "You choose first."

Eldrin nodded without another word, his gaze settling upon the 2 100 spirit roots before him. These 2-100-some spiritual flora encompassed nearly all attributes of Yin-Yang, the 3 Anomalies, and the 5 Elements.

"According to the rules of the 6 Heavens and 7 Realms, 1 may proceed by making selections in sequence."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then turned his gaze toward the 6 Heavens of the Earth Immortal Realm.

Within the world he had forged, the 6 heavens were divided into the Cavernous Abyss Heaven, the Pure Yang Heaven, the Stellar Heaven, the Ethereal Cosmos Heaven, the Aurora Heaven, and the Longevity Heaven.

Eldrin pondered briefly before selecting a 'Thalion Ancient Tree' for the Abyssal Cavern Heaven.

That ancient Thalion tree possessed dual attributes of Yin and Water, simultaneously containing the power of water element while also encompassing the profound mysteries of pure Yin.

This tree absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, capable of bearing the spiritual fruit known as Thalion (Person Name) Ancient Apricot. It was said that this apricot could nourish immortal fetuses and divine souls, serving as a wondrous treasure to enhance 1's spiritual cultivation.

In the Realm of Pure Yang, Eldrin (Person Name) selected a 'Primordial Sword Tree of Pure Yang'—a spiritual root possessing dual attributes of metal and fire.

This spiritual root draws upon the pure yang energy of heaven and earth, capable of nurturing a single Pure Yang Celestial Sword of astonishing power. It is said this blade embodies the very essence of yang's destructive nature.

It can grow alongside the Pure Yang Ancient Sword Tree, becoming the bane of all demonic cultivators across the realms.

It is said that once a treasure reaches the pinnacle of Primordial Ancient Artifacts—the highest grade of innate treasures—it could even pose a threat to the supreme demon lords of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Within the Celestial Realm of Stars, Eldrin (Person Name) planted an ancient 'Starfall Divine Tree' (Magic Treasure). This celestial tree contained the very essence of the 9 Heavens' stellar forces, bearing 1 brilliant star after another.

It is said that once this tree ascends to the level of a Heaven-Opening Treasure, it can give birth to 3 1000 primordial stars.

Each of these 3 1000 great stars was comparable to a major realm in size, and when combined, they formed a Heaven-Opening Treasure. Its power ranked among the pinnacle of all Heaven-Opening Treasures of the same tier.

Needless to say, within the Void Heaven Realm, Eldrin had planted the supreme-grade special spiritual root known as the Void Heaven Tree. Once this tree reached the stage of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, it would bear a Void Mystic Dao Fruit every 1 100 1000 years.

This fruit can assist Eldrin in comprehending the power of void laws. Even if Eldrin does not use it, it can be given to the immortals of his clan.

Within the Aurora Heaven, the spiritual root is known as the Twofold Aurora Tree. The fruits it bears contain the profound mysteries of this tree, and consuming them allows 1 to comprehend the wonders of the aurora.

Within the sixth heaven, the final Celestial Realm of Eternal Life, Eldrin planted a single Eternal Life Fruit Tree.

The Immortal Longevity Fruit borne from this tree possessed wondrous effects varying by grade. A seventh-grade fruit could allow a mortal to live over 1,000,000 years; an eighth-grade fruit could let mortals survive 1 heavenly tribulation; while a ninth-grade fruit could sustain them through 1 kalpic cycle.

If 1 were to step into the realm of the Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), mortals who consumed it would attain immortality.

Apart from the 6 heavens, Eldrin also planted 7 spiritual roots in the 7 realms.

These 7 spirit roots were the Divine Thunder Bamboo, the Ice Soul Immortal Pear Tree, the Howling Wind Gourd Vine, the Fire Jade Immortal Sap Tree, the Northern Abyss Frostmist Tree, the Ancient Enlightenment Tea Tree, and the Ancient Immortal Peach Tree.

These spiritual roots correspond to the Thunder Abyss Realm, the Frost Soul Realm, the Howling Wind Realm, the Southern Li Realm, the Northern Ming Realm, the Western Extreme Realm, and the Eastern Splendor Realm respectively.

Among the several spiritual roots, the Heaven Thunder Bamboo thrives by bathing in lightning. Each time it advances, it undergoes a nirvana—shedding its past entirely and growing a new segment of bamboo.

The shed remnant of its former self was a supreme immortal treasure, possessing dual attributes of thunder and wood, making it the finest of celestial materials.

The fruit borne by the Icesoul Immortal Pear Tree contains the power of the Icesoul Law, making it a supreme treasure coveted by immortals who cultivate ice-attributed laws and principles.

Once this tree ascends to a Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), Lila (Person Name)'s future cultivation journey would undoubtedly proceed with smooth sailing.

The Gale Gourd Vine was a unique spiritual root, and the ancient gourd it bore could unleash a gale force sharp enough to slice through metal and shatter bones. Moreover, it could nurture immortal sword-daggers, making it a rare and peerless treasure of slaughter.

The Fire Jade Immortal Marrow Tree could produce Fire Jade Immortal Marrow, a treasure whose miraculous effects closely resembled those of the Icy Soul Immortal Pear Tree. It was a supreme treasure fervently sought after by immortals with a fire spiritual root.

The North Ming Cold Mist Tree can transform frigid mist energy, making it 1 of the finest materials for refining Mist Veil artifacts.

The remaining Ancient Tree of Enlightenment and the Ancient Immortal Peach Tree had been cultivated by Eldrin for many years, and their wondrous effects went without saying.

Among these 13 spiritual roots, the Ancient Enlightenment Tea Tree and the Immortal Peach Ancient Tree had already had their shackles unlocked by Eldrin (Person Name).
