Chapter 1426 : Journey to the Netherworld Microcosm

Under such circumstances, selling at less than 20% off would be less profitable than refining it into a Heaven-Sundering Treasure themselves—the latter would yield far greater returns. Of course, Eldrin understood that within the immortal realm, Eighth-Level Pure Yang Fire Silkworm Thread wasn’t exclusively sold by this establishment alone. Yet, those ordinary blessed realms could scarcely produce such a vast quantity of Pure Yang Fire Silkworm Thread in 1 batch.

Moreover, those high-quality yet affordable Pure Yang Fire Silks must have long been secured by regular buyers. Without placing an order hundreds of thousands of years in advance, 1 would scarcely have a chance to obtain them.

Eldrin was in a hurry and had no choice but to make a significant sacrifice here. With this thought, he drew the Great Barren Sky Spear from his sleeve and declared, "I offer this in exchange. I wonder how much Immortal Origin you can supplement me, Fellow Daoist?" "A top-grade World-Creation Treasure?"

The elder's eyes glimmered faintly as he remarked, "This artifact is rather exceptional. If placed in an auction, it could fetch over a million Immortal Origins."

"But if you're looking to sell it here, I can only offer you the base price. How about 1,000,000 Immortal Yuan?"

"Oh?"

Eldrin's gaze flickered subtly. For an Earth Immortal Patriarch, a superior-grade World-Creation Treasure was exceedingly rare, yet the required immortal essence could ultimately be gathered with effort.

Therefore, acquiring a top-grade Heaven-Opening Treasure with Immortal Origin often required paying a premium of 30 percent.

At this thought, Eldrin paused briefly in contemplation before speaking, "The true value of this treasure is approximately 1,300,000 Immortal Sources, while 9 portions of Pure Yang Fire Silkworm Thread amount to merely 720,000 Immortal Sources."

"How about this—why not compensate me with an additional Chaos-Opening Treasure of pure Yang attribute?"

The Pure Sun Pavilion steward pondered briefly before nodding. "I can compensate you with 1 mid-grade World-Enlightening Treasure, but it still wouldn't be enough to exchange for a high-grade World-Enlightening Treasure."

"I'll add a bit more."

Eldrin (Person Name) added several invaluable 4 Extremities Pillars to his offer and acquired a Li Fire Stone of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure).

That Li Fire Stone of the Returning Abyss was a supreme-grade world-creation treasure, which Eldrin intended to refine into an eighth-grade, superior-tier formation disk to command the entire grand array.

After acquiring these treasures, Eldrin finally achieved his long-cherished wish. Instead of departing immediately, he chose to remain in the Pure Sun Immortal City, patiently awaiting the commencement of the Grand Bartering Assembly.

Thus time flowed on, and in the blink of an eye, several 100 years had passed, until the day of the Exchange Assembly commenced.

The exchange gathering proceeded quite smoothly. Eldrin managed to sell the treasures he had obtained from previous major battles and items accumulated by his clan over recent years, acquiring 30-2 strands of Primordial Chaos Qi in return. This timely transaction alleviated his most pressing needs.

After exchanging for all sorts of rare treasures, Eldrin did not linger in the Pure Sun Heavenly Domain and set off directly for the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea.

Returning to the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea, he immediately began crafting the formation flags.

With Eldrin's (Person Name) current mastery of artifact forging, crafting a few eighth-tier lower-grade array flags was as natural as water flowing downhill.

After hundreds of years, he finally succeeded in forging a set of Pure Yang Celestial Fire Formation Flags.

This set of formation flags consisted of 9 individual banners working in concert, further supported by a grade-8, top-tier formation disk serving as the core array.

It was engraved with the pure yang celestial fire rule power of Eldrin (Person Name). Once activated, it could unleash 9 streams of pure yang celestial fire, whose combined force was sufficient to incinerate an Earth Immortal at the 9th layer of cultivation.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, if 10 Earth Immortals were to jointly activate it, even a Great Perfection Earth Immortal would have to tread carefully. Against the Netherworld Hell, which lacked even a single Half-Step Earth Immortal expert, it should be more than sufficient.

At this thought, Eldrin sought out Lyra and said, "We now have enough formation banners. All that remains is selecting the candidates to enter the formation." Upon hearing this, Lyra furrowed her brow slightly and replied, "This set of formation banners possesses extraordinary power. It requires 10 Earth Immortals to unleash its full potential."

"With our clan's Earth Immortal and the 2 from the Old Ruins and the Celestial Abyss, we already have sufficient manpower. Should we bring Tianfeng and the others into this?"

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) fell into deep contemplation.

Over the years, the strength of the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) had grown steadily. Now, in addition to Eldrin (Person Name), Lyra (Person Name), Qing Ji, Yan Zi Ji, Lila (Person Name), and Seraphina Qu (Person Name), the clan boasted 6 Earth Immortals.

3 new members were added: Kael (Person Name), Chen Ethan (Person Name), and the Eastern Emperor. Thus, the clan now boasted a full 9 Earth Immortals (Cultivation Realm), each blessed with astonishingly profound destiny. With such strength, they could already be considered a formidable force among the blessed lands of Earth Immortals (Cultivation Realm).

With the addition of Tian Yuan and Jiu Xu, that made a full 11 Earth Immortals—more than enough in terms of personnel.

In such circumstances, whether to summon 6 Stars, Tianyu, Lianxu, Tianfeng, and others was indeed a matter requiring careful consideration.

Seraphina Qu also nodded and could not help but inquiring, "Since we intend to collaborate with Glazed Paradise to covet the Minor Yang Universe, should we invite them to join the assault on the Minor Yin Universe as well?"

Eldrin understood her meaning and couldn't help but shake his head. "If the Glazed Paradise intervenes, how much of the profits would the Nether Sovereign of the Ancient Ruins manage to secure?"

Seraphina Qu (Person Name) fell silent upon hearing this. During this stroke of fortune, the Nether Sovereign of the Ancient Ruins had discovered a fissure in the nether cosmic fabric.

The Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) would undoubtedly contribute the most. Given Eldrin (Person Name)'s longstanding friendship with the Nether Lord of Old Ruins, he held little interest for ghost cultivation artifacts. Thus, he could prioritize offering these treasures to the Nether Lord of Old Ruins.

However, if the Glazed Paradise intervened this early, it would be uncertain whether the Nether Lord of the Ancient Ruins could achieve his heart's desire.

After much deliberation, Eldrin finally spoke: "This rift of the minor cosmos,

"After all, it was the Nether Lord of the Ancient Ruins who discovered this. We must seek his opinion on the matter."

With those words spoken, Eldrin immediately made his way to the Old Ruins Ghost City. Upon meeting the Nether Lord of the Old Ruins, Eldrin informed him of his success in forging the formation flags, then inquired, "For this operation, aside from our own ranks, should we summon others to join us?"

Sure enough, the Lord of Ancient Ruins shook his head and said, "This Netherworld Microcosm concerns matters of immense importance. The fewer who know of it, the better."

Hearing this, Eldrin understood perfectly. "In that case," he said, "the 11 of us shall go first to probe the depths of that Nether Minor Universe."

Since preparations were complete, everyone immediately sprang into action.

不久之后，十一位地仙老祖都齐聚幽冥之处，而后跟随旧墟阴君往幽冥深处而去。

They had no idea how long they had been walking when they finally arrived at the edge of the chaotic embryonic membrane in the Netherdark's deepest reaches.

"This is the place."

Gazing upon the Netherrealm before him, the Sovereign of Ancient Ruins broke the silence.

Eldrin made a series of calculations with his fingers before speaking, "This ghost realm actually corresponds to the location of the Western Extremity Celestial Domain."

"Mm." The Ancient Ruins Yin Sovereign nodded and said, "The location of that miniature cosmos is at the edge of the Western Pole Heavenly Domain."

With that, the Ancient Ruins Yin Lord carefully activated the seal imprint, and ripples shimmered across the void before him.

A dazzlingly resplendent treasure pearl materialized, followed by a hairline fissure that gradually unfurled in its wake.

"The rift in this netherworld microcosm is exceedingly minute. To prevent others from discovering it, I've concealed it with numerous arrays over the years, yet it remains somewhat precarious."

"Fortunately, with the 1 Qi Heaven Evasion Pearl, we can now completely conceal the traces of the spatial rift."
