Chapter 1431 : Western Polar Skyland

Upon hearing this, Seraphina Qu's heart trembled faintly.

Over the years, the Glazed Divine Lord had journeyed across the Qiangcang Immortal Domain to help her forge the 7 Severities Spirit-Slaying Sword, sparing no effort in the endeavor.

Now, being severely wounded because of this North Sea Profound Turtle only deepened her guilt. "Do not worry. An injury of this degree is not serious. I can recover after cultivating for a few years." Lady Liuli seemed to perceive her remorse and spoke with a gentle smile.

She handed over the North Sea Profound Turtle Inner Core to Seraphina Qu (Person Name), then spoke again, "With this North Sea Profound Turtle Inner Core, your 7 Extinctions Spirit-Severing Sword now only requires the Western Geng White Tiger to be fully forged."

"As far as I know, the Western Geng Grand Tiger lurks within the Western Extreme Heavenly Domain. To avoid falling into others' schemes, I cannot take action until my injuries are fully healed. You must devise a plan to obtain this final inner core on your own."

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this and said, "7 primordial desolate spirit inner elixirs, and you, Senior, have helped us find 4 of them. Such kindness, we shall never forget."

"This final Inner Core, leave it to us."

"Mm." The Glazed Divine Lord nodded, then spoke: "With your current strength, I am quite at ease." "However, during your journey, remember to keep your whereabouts strictly confidential to avoid falling prey to others' schemes."

Eldrin nodded, retrieving a Soul-Returning Elixir from his sleeve. "This is a Soul-Returning Elixir I refined over the past few years. It may offer some assistance for your injury, Senior."

"You have my gratitude."

Glazed Immortal Sovereign glanced at it and gave an approving nod. The Soul-Returning Elixir was a supreme-grade, eighth-tier miraculous cure—even her profound injuries would find some relief in its potency.

So she accepted the Soul-Returning Elixir and said with a light laugh, "This pill is worth no small fortune. What would you ask in return?"

"It was because you were refining a sword for Seraphina Qu (Person Name) that you sustained these injuries, Senior. How could I possibly have the face to exchange this for treasure?" Eldrin (Person Name) shook his head and said, "Please consider it merely as a junior’s humble gesture of goodwill."

Previously, Eldrin had obtained a Soul-Returning Flower in the Netherworld Microcosm and ultimately refined it into 2 precious pills. Now, he took out 1 and presented it to Glazed Divine Lord—in Eldrin’s view, this act repaid a portion of his debt of gratitude.

The Glazed Spirit Sovereign, however, offered no further elaboration and merely said with a light laugh, "I heard you seek the Heaven-Opening Qi. Our clan's treasury still holds a modest reserve. Later, accompany Sister Ri to retrieve 10 portions."

With those words, the Glazed Divine Lord said no more. With a wave of her hand, she dismissed the 2 from the cavern abode.

The Glazed Paradise remained unyielding in their stance. In the end, Eldrin departed with 10 strands of Heaven-Cleaving Qi.

Returning to the Abyssal Sanctuary, Eldrin (Person Name) recounted the situation to Lyra (Person Name), Lady Qingji, and the others.

After hearing this, the brows of the group furrowed slightly. Lyra (Person Name) couldn't help but remark, "With the Glazed Divine Monarch unable to take action now, would the master of the Flowing Fire Star Palace seize this chance to move against us?"

"Probably not." Eldrin shook his head and said, "The injuries of the Lord of Flowing Fire Star Palace are more severe than those of Glazed Divine Lord. At present, his combat power has likely diminished to merely 50 or 60 percent."

"With such combat prowess, he could likely handle 2 or 3 Earth Immortals at the Great Perfection stage. I'm afraid he'd be even more reluctant to act rashly."

At this point, Eldrin's expression turned grave as he continued, "But you do have a point. Though the Flowing Fire Star Palace won't intervene directly, they certainly won't pass up this opportunity to act against us."

Upon hearing this, Qing Ji (Person Name) furrowed her brow slightly and said, "In that case, that Western Geng Grand Tiger..."

Eldrin did not answer immediately. Only after a moment did he speak: "That Western Zenith Ferocious Tiger is 1 of the Primordial Ancient Spirits. Its essence is crucial to whether Seraphina Qu can successfully forge the 7 Severities Spirit-Slaying Sword."

"Once Seraphina Qu (Person Name) refines the 7 Severings Spirit-Slaying Sword, her power will undoubtedly surge tremendously. This will significantly bolster our chances of seizing the Netherworld Microcosmos."

"Thus, the Western Zenith Tiger cannot be abandoned."

At this point, Eldrin paused in contemplation for a moment before saying, "In a few days, I will send someone to gather intelligence on the Western Metal Great Tiger. Once we locate its exact trail, we shall strike."

"But," Seraphina Qu (Person Name) voiced her concern, unable to hold back, "what if the master of the Flowing Fire Star Palace truly dares to take the risk and strike against us?"

"Don't worry." Eldrin shook his head, carefully weighing his words. "With my current strength and the assistance of you few, I can hold my own even against a ninth-level Earth Immortal. Taking a 1000 steps back—even if a top-tier Great Perfection Earth Immortal were to attack, by harnessing the power of the Yin-Yang Void Mirror, few could stop me from leaving should I choose to retreat."

Hearing this, the others felt a slight sense of reassurance.

Lyra pondered for a moment before speaking, "Let's gather information first. We can make our move after locating the Western Radiance Iron Tiger."

"Very well."

After making up his mind, Eldrin dispatched a dozen or so immortals from his clan to the Western Extremity Heavenly Domain to gather information about the Western Radiance Great Tiger.

After a dozen or so Immortals conducted their search, it took merely 3,000 years for them to pinpoint the location where the Western Metal Supreme Tiger had been sighted—the Western Metal Supreme Mysterious Mountain Range.

Reviewing the intelligence in his hand, Eldrin murmured inwardly before relaying the information to Lyra and the others.

After listening, Lyra gazed at the intelligence in Eldrin’s hand and frowned slightly. "The Taihu lurking within the Western Geng Taixuan Mountain Range is likely not to be underestimated."

Seraphina Qu nodded and said, "At least 2 Western Zenith Tigers at the late-stage Earth Immortal realm, and they're notoriously elusive."

"Without sufficient serendipity, 1 might guard the spot for hundreds of thousands of years without necessarily finding it."

Eldrin (Person Name) took a deep breath and declared, "Regardless, the Western Zenith Tiger is exceptionally rare and elusive. We cannot afford to miss this opportunity."

"Tomorrow we shall depart."

Early the next morning, Eldrin set off toward the Western Extremity Heavenly Domain.

Since this journey would likely keep him away from home for tens of thousands of years, Eldrin departed with 5 companions: Lyra, Qing Ji, Seraphina Qu, Lila, and Yan Zi Ji.

The 3 Earth Immortals—Kael (Person Name), Chen Ethan (Person Name), and Chen Qiyuan—remained behind to safeguard the family.

Now, the party of 6 urged the Yin-Yang Void Mirror westward toward the Celestial Dominion of the Extreme West. After several years of arduous travel, they finally arrived at the Western Geng Supreme Mystery Mountain Range.

The Western Geng Xuan Mountain Range stood as 1 of the 30-6 renowned peaks in the Western Extreme Celestial Domain. Its vast expanse stretched across hundreds of millions of li, rivaling even the endless flow of a 100 seas in magnitude.

Within this vast mountain range, dozens of demon clan blessed lands stood as guardians, with the most renowned being the ruling territory of the legendary White Tiger Clan—the 'Roaring Tiger Blessed Land'.

As Eldrin stood before the Western Gengxuan Mountain Range, he couldn't help but recall the archives he had studied about the Western Celestial Domain.

As far as he knew, 3 supreme grotto-heavens held dominion over the cosmos within this Western Extremity Celestial Realm.

These 3 cave abodes were respectively the White Tiger Cave Abode, the Great White Cave Abode, and the Glittering Gold Cave Abode.

Among the 3 grotto-heavens, the White Tiger Grotto-Heaven was forged by the White Tiger Clan, reigning supreme as the foremost of the triad.
