Chapter 1596 : 9 Grades Merit Golden Lotus

After expressing his gratitude 3 times, Eldrin took the Ancient Cosmos Gold. After a moment of contemplation, he retrieved a fragment of flowing time and said, "The Ancient Cosmos Gold is invaluable. I offer this item in my possession to exchange with you, Senior."

Shard of Aeons.

The Myriad Spirits Ancestor gazed at the treasure in Eldrin’s hand, a faint smile gracing his lips. “The Shard of Aeons is an artifact of time,” he remarked, “its worth beyond measure.”

"If you can break through to the Celestial Immortal realm, integrating this object into the Starry Glazed Realm will surely enhance its wondrous effects."

"So I advise you to keep it."

"This..."

Eldrin was momentarily taken aback, falling into a brief hesitation. The 10 1000 Spirits Ancestor, aware that Eldrin wished to repay the favor, smiled faintly and said, "I hope you will soon break through to the Celestial Immortal realm and help guide my Qingjuan child on my behalf."

"I understand."

Eldrin nodded and said, "If I ever step into the Celestial Immortal Realm, I will surely guide my disciple Qingjing and seek out a wisp of Primordial Qi to help her transform into the Primordial Clear Bamboo."

"Then I can rest easy."

Elder Wanling gave a slight nod and continued in a gentle tone, "I observe your aura has achieved perfect harmony, suggesting your cultivation has progressed steadily over these years. Yet remember, the path of cultivation requires both tension and release—you must continue to temper your foundations diligently."

With these words, he retrieved an ancient cyan jade bead from his sleeve and handed it to Eldrin (Person Name).

Eldrin took it and examined it, finding this treasure brimming with vibrant vitality, capable of nourishing a cultivator's physical form. If 1 channeled magical power into it, it also possessed the wondrous ability to refine and temper that very power. "This is the Supreme Primordial Wonder known as the 'Myriad Spirits Ancient Pearl.' It was forged from the heartwood I shed when consolidating my 3 Supreme Primordial foundations."

"This treasure possesses no offensive or defensive capabilities, yet it holds the wondrous function of refining spiritual power and tempering 1's foundational cultivation."

"Take it for now. You can return it to me after you survive the Dao Tribulation."

The Myriad Spirits Ancestor spoke unhurriedly, his eyes radiating gentle warmth.

Eldrin listened quietly, feeling an increasing warmth in his heart. Over the years, his cultivation had advanced rapidly, yet the foundation of his spiritual power had grown noticeably unstable.

Even with 4 World-Creation Supreme Treasures refining his foundation, it was impossible to fully temper his magic power to perfection within a short time.

Although it would be more effective to refine spiritual power with an innate treasure after successfully advancing to the Yin-Yang Void Realm, the clansmen still needed this item. 1 could say that with this object in hand, cultivation bases of clansmen like Lyra (Person Name) and Qingji (Person Name) would swiftly stabilize, saving them over several 100 1000 years of tempering their spiritual power.

At this thought, Eldrin immediately rose and bowed, saying, "Senior's care and guidance are a debt of gratitude this junior will never forget."

"Ha ha ha."

The Myriad Spirits Venerable 1 chuckled heartily and said noncommittally, "It is only natural for seniors to guide those who come after. Elders nurturing the younger generation is but a matter of course."

"You have always shown great care for your disciples and juniors, have you not?"

"Go forth now. This old man has high hopes for you."

"..." After expressing his gratitude profusely, Eldrin took his leave from the Ancestor of 10 1000 Spirits.

He traversed the boundless void and returned to the Abyssal Sea, then diverted his path to the Abyssal Sanctuary. Within the sanctuary, Eldrin encountered Kael, who had just returned to his clan.

After years apart, Kael's cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Earth Immortal realm. Moreover, he seemed to have encountered extraordinary serendipity, having successfully attained the Buddhahood Dao Fruit of the Taiyi realm.

This took Eldrin by surprise, and he couldn’t help but remark, “Elder Brother, your Buddha’s Dao Fruit has already ripened. It seems you can step into the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm without the need for the Great Immortal Golden Body Pill.”

"I have returned precisely to break through to the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm."

Kael gave a slight nod, then retrieved a treasure box from his sleeve and handed it to Eldrin. "During my journey to the Great Desert's Celestial Sand Realm, I visited several ancient Buddhist relics and acquired a few remarkable treasures," he said.

"This item should be of some use to you." "Oh?"

A faint glimmer flickered in Eldrin's eyes as he immediately opened the treasure box to look inside.

There within the treasure box lay a 9-grade lotus pedestal, wreathed in golden radiance of virtue and merit.

9 Grades Merit Golden Lotus (Cultivation Treasure)

The moment he laid eyes on the Golden Lotus, a flicker of surprise passed through Eldrin's gaze as he remarked with mild astonishment.

The Merit Golden Lotus is a rare lotus throne treasure, containing boundless merit power within. It possesses the profound ability to ward off inner demons and safeguard the Dao Heart.

Below the Great Dao, each grade of the Merit Golden Lotus represents a distinct level. The Merit Golden Lotus before them possessed a full 9 grades, making it the exceptionally rare 9-Grade Primordial Merit Golden Lotus. Such Primordial treasures were already incomparably scarce rarities—so rare that even Eldrin possessed extremely few of them. Who could have imagined that Kael would also have 1 in his possession?

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but smile faintly. "Since this treasure is urgently needed by Lyra, I shall humbly accept it without further refusal."

With these words, he took out the 3 Demons Slaying Immortals Sword Formation and handed it to Kael (Person Name), saying, "Of course, I cannot let my clansman suffer losses. This shall be yours."

"What a magnificent sword formation!"

At the sight of the sword formation, Kael's eyes subtly gleamed with intrigue.

He took the Triple Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword Array and could not help but smile. "For me, this is likely more powerful than even a single Taiyi Immortal Weapon."

After acquiring a new Taiyi Immortal Treasure for Lyra, Eldrin felt a profound sense of satisfaction. He then brought Kael into the 5 Elements Microcosm, allowing him to select a supreme blessed land for his breakthrough. Afterwards, Eldrin sought out Lyra, who was diligently cultivating divine abilities, and presented her with the Golden Lotus of Merit.

Having obtained the Golden Merit Lotus, Lyra felt pleasantly surprised that her life-bound treasure, the Golden Merit Lotus Throne, now had the potential to advance to a Taiyi Immortal Treasure. A faint smile graced her lips as she remarked, "For Elder Brother Kael to have retrieved such a treasure, it seems his gains from this expedition must have been substantial indeed."

"I suppose so."

Eldrin also nodded in agreement. A single Golden Merit Lotus, once differentiated into multiple treasures such as the lotus platform, lotus leaves, lotus seeds, and lotus roots—even if most did not reach the Grand Primordial realm—would undoubtedly rank among the most supreme treasures imaginable.

Thinking of this, Eldrin said, "With Elder Brother Kael having obtained such a fortunate opportunity, our strength should increase considerably in the upcoming Dao Tribulation."

With those words spoken, Lyra (Person Name) set about refining the Taiyi Marvel (Spiritual Treasure) to elevate it into her Life-Bound Supreme Treasure (Magic Treasure).

Meanwhile, Eldrin had sought out the Will of the Heavenly Dao and spoke, "I wish to advance my innate treasure and would like to ask for your assistance." Upon understanding that Eldrin intended to elevate the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void, the Will of the Heavenly Dao pondered briefly and said, "To advance this innate treasure of yours will require consuming vast amounts of refined 5 metals essence and the dual energies of yin and yang."

"Once you advance, I fear it may deplete a fraction of the world's origin essence."

Eldrin nodded and declared, "I shall allow the Enlightenment Tea Tree to take root in this universe for another 1 million years."

"Deal."

The Heavenly Dao will readily agreed. Given the efficiency with which the Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) converted chaos energy, 1 million years was already a considerable gain for this realm of the universe.

For Eldrin (Person Name), this transaction was by no means a loss.

After all, the resources consumed to advance a single Innate Treasure were far too immense. If the ascension were to take place within the immortal realms, it would inevitably alert the Heavenly Immortal experts of every major grotto-heaven. In the past, Eldrin (Person Name) had succeeded in elevating his Blades of the Ruinous Reverie (Magic Treasure) to the innate level only because he was backed by the Empyrean Sanctum (Sect Name). Moreover, within the collapsing minor universe he occupied, hundreds of millions of stars could be converted into nourishment to fuel the sword’s ascension—thus enabling his ultimate success.
