Chapter 1822 : Luminous Glaze Fish

After emerging from the Chaos Nest, the 3 did not depart immediately.

They began to wander through this chaotic lair, seeking the myriad opportunities hidden within.

Unfortunately, this Chaos Shoal had long been explored by those ancient immortals, who had already claimed over half of the opportunities within.

The 3 of them had searched for over 3 1000 years. Though they had discovered quite a few Chaos Nests, most of the primordial beasts within had already been slain, and the Primordial Qi had largely been plundered clean.

In the end, only 5 strands of Primordial Qi, 3 to 5 portions of Primordial Treasures, and a dozen or so primordial chaos beasts fell into the hands of the 3 individuals.

So many rare treasures would be considered invaluable finds for ordinary Celestial Immortals, yet for 3 Ancient Immortals of such combat prowess, they were far too scarce.

"Not even a ninth-grade, superior-tier Chaos Ancient Beast. It seems I'll have to search other shallow chaos shores."

After thoroughly combing through the area and confirming that no treasures remained in the Chaotic Shallows, Eldrin had no choice but to depart with the 2 others.

They continued their journey toward the Chaotic Sea, passing through several shallow chaotic shoals along the way. Each time, they thoroughly explored these areas, yet unfortunately, none of them obtained the treasures they truly desired.

Eldrin understood clearly that since these chaotic shallows were relatively close to the 3 1000 Immortal Domains, they had likely been thoroughly scavenged by other ancient immortals and mighty figures, leaving little chance for truly precious wonders or treasures to remain.

And so they journeyed onward, skirting the edge of the Chaos Sea as they flew deep into the leftward expanse. They traveled for over 5 1000 years before finally discovering a vast, shallow shoal within the chaos.

"Right here."

Gazing at the Chaotic Shoals before him, Eldrin (Person Name) couldn't help but draw a deep breath and said,

The Celestial Maiden gazed upon this chaotic shoal and gave a slight nod. "This place lies far from the Violet Sun Immortal Realm. Perhaps it remains unexplored."

Eldrin also nodded. He had come to this place precisely because it was relatively remote and quite distant from the Violet Sun Immortal Domain.

Those ancient immortals who departed from the Violet Sun Immortal Realm would typically venture either into the Chaos Sea or explore the shallow shoals of chaos near the Violet Sun Immortal Realm.

At the speed of a 3 Calamities Ancient Immortal, flying through the Primordial Chaos Sea would take at most 1,000 years to reach the destination.

Exploring around the Violet Sun Immortal Domain, it would only take a few 100 years to travel from 1 Chaotic Shoal to another.

In comparison, an ordinary Ancient Immortal would require at least 10,000 years to fly here, with the round trip alone consuming over 20,000 years. Such an immense expenditure of time made the journey exceedingly impractical, which was why few Ancient Immortals ever ventured to this place.

At this thought, Patriarch Tianya also nodded and said, "We've been delayed quite a while on this journey. Now, only a little over 10 1000 years remain before the Chaotic Tide sweeps across."

"We must explore this lair within 3 1000 years, so we have sufficient time to return to the Ziyang Immortal Realm before the Chaotic Tide engulfs everything."

Eldrin (Person Name) nodded upon hearing this and declared decisively, "Then let us enter."

As the words fell, Eldrin (Person Name) took the lead and flew into this chaotic nest.

The moment he stepped into the Chaos Nest, Eldrin sensed an overwhelming divine energy surging toward him. Without hesitation, he pivoted and struck out with a palm, instantly clashing with the being who had launched the attack.

"Boom—"

In the blink of an eye, Eldrin stood rooted to the spot without moving a muscle, while the assailant was sent flying, coughing up blood, with half his body shattered from the impact.

Only then did he turn his gaze toward the 1 who had struck, his expression shifting slightly as he murmured, "Chaotic Heaven-Devouring Roc?"

Tianya Patriarch and the Celestial Maiden’s expressions shifted slightly at these words. After carefully observing the approaching Primordial Chaos Beast, they let out a sigh of relief.

The Chaos Devouring Heaven Roc was 1 of the primordial ferocious beasts, known to always roam alone. It was said that this lineage fed on packs of primordial ancient beasts, and upon reaching adulthood, they would attain at least the rank of Chaos Beast King.

Fortunately, this 1's aura wasn't particularly formidable—it seemed to be merely a juvenile Chaos Devouring Heaven Roc, with cultivation at only the Great Perfection of the Celestial Immortal level.

"Screech—"

Just as the 3 were encircling Eldrin, the Chaos Devouring Heaven Roc flapped its wings in terror, dragging its wounded body as it attempted to flee for its life.

Seeing this, Patriarch Tianya immediately warned, "A juvenile Chaos Devouring Heaven Roc never travels alone. There must be other Chaos Behemoths nearby. Seize it now!"

"Bzzz—"

In that very instant, Eldrin struck without hesitation, channeling the Primordial Chaos Grasp to suppress and slay the juvenile Chaos Devouring Heaven Roc.

After slaying the Chaos Devouring Heaven Roc, Eldrin let out a slight sigh of relief as he stored it away. Every drop of blood and fragment of bone from this creature was a priceless treasure.

Although they were of little use to the 3 of them, these were all rare treasures for the Chen Clan members.

After subduing the Chaos Devouring Heaven Roc, Eldrin (Person Name) turned his gaze to the shallow chaos banks, his expression growing solemn as he remarked, "These primordial behemoths are like leviathans and titanic sharks in the vast ocean—they seldom emerge within the shallows of chaos."

"Since the Chaos Devouring Heaven Roc has appeared here, there must be something unusual about this place. Perhaps there might even be some opportunities awaiting us. We'd best proceed with caution."

At these words, Eldrin raised his head to gaze into the depths of chaos, where he noticed an extraordinary immortal light blossoming forth. It pierced through the chaotic waters, shimmering like a candle flame in the darkness—dazzling and vivid.

"It seems there is another opportunity here, 1 that drew the Chaos Devouring Heaven Roc to risk venturing into these Chaotic Shallows."

Upon hearing this, both of them nodded. The Celestial Maiden spoke up, "Currently, our spiritual power has been depleted by more than half. Should we return to the Violet Sun Immortal Domain first and wait until the Chaotic Tide subsides before making further plans?"

Eldrin shook his head and declared resolutely, "The Chaotic Tide will last for 1 100 1000 years. If we miss this opportunity, we'll have to wait at least another 100 millennia."

"Most crucially, after 1 100 1000 years, the opportunities within this shallow chaos shoal may have long drifted back into the Sea of Chaos with the tides. Like a dragon returning to the ocean, they would be beyond our reach."

At these words, Eldrin summoned chaotic mists to envelop the 3 figures, silently advancing toward the depths of the Chaotic Shallows.

The 3 of them advanced toward the radiance, and before long, they detected a dazzling aura that made their hearts tremble faintly.

It was an incomparably dazzling Chaos Nest, its entire form shimmering with a crystalline radiance, the very source of the light they beheld.

Within this chaotic nest, hundreds of fish shimmering with glazed auroral light were straining to maintain a protective barrier.

Beyond that chaotic nest, a colossal Chaos Fiend blotted out the skies as it furiously assailed the lair.

"Chaos Devouring Heaven Roc, Chaos Glazed Jade Fish, and the supreme-grade Chaos Glazed Jade Nest."

Witnessing this scene, the Heavenly Maiden felt her throat go dry, a trace of wild ecstasy flashing in her eyes.

As a Primal Chaos Direbeast, the Chaos Devouring Heaven Roc was naturally an existence that rivaled a 3-Tribulation Ancient Immortal, a true Primal Chaos Beast King.

The Chaos Glazed Fish was an exceedingly rare primordial beast of chaos, renowned for its body that resembled flawless, untainted glazed porcelain. It was also known as the 'Glazed Treasure Light Fish'.

Most crucially, every inch of the Chaos Glazed Jade Fish's flesh brims with glazed divinity and possesses the attribute of flawless purity, capable of cleansing the immortal's primordial spirit and soul.

It is said that those at the Great Perfection stage of Celestial Immortality could continuously enhance their primordial spirits by consuming the Chaos Glazed Fish, boosting both their comprehension and soul power while increasing their chances of successfully perceiving the Great Dao.

If 1 consumes a sufficient number of Chaos Glazed Fish, even the most ordinary Great Perfection Celestial Immortal could potentially transform into a top-tier prodigy, comprehend the embryonic form of the Great Dao, and break through to the realm of Ancient Immortals in a single leap.

Even for those at the Ancient Immortal Realm, consuming Chaos Glazed Fish over an extended period can still enhance their cultivation.

Over a 100 Chaos Glazed Fish.

Gazing upon the vast school of Chaotic Glazed Fish before him, Patriarch Tianya was overcome with boundless astonishment and delight.

He took a deep breath before speaking, "At market rates, a single low-grade ninth-tier Glazed Luminous Fish can fetch a price as high as 1 strand of Primordial Qi."

Among these 100-some Glazed Luminous Fish, there were no shortage of mid-grade and even high-grade ninth-tier specimens. Their combined value likely exceeded over 2 100 wisps of Primordial Qi.

The Celestial Maiden also gave a slight nod, her gaze turning intensely grave as she looked deep into the chaotic nest. "Within this school of fish, there is still a Glazed Luminous Fish of the Chaos Beast King level."

"That supreme-grade Glazed Luminous Treasure Fish would tempt even ancient immortals who have weathered 4 or 5 heavenly tribulations, no wonder it attracted the Chaos Devouring Heaven Roc."

Hearing this, Eldrin also drew a sharp breath.

The Supreme Glazed Treasure Light Fish was of such astonishing value. It dwelled within the primordial chaos and darted through the Chaotic Sea with such incredible speed that even high-ranking Ancient Immortals dared not claim they could capture it with ease. It could truly be said to be a treasure even rarer than dragon's liver and phoenix marrow.

This Glazed Luminous Fish, when consumed, can enhance 1's cultivation and purify both the Dao Heart and soul—truly a rare treasure beyond compare.

Even at the Celestial Banquets hosted by the Immortal Court, where divine delicacies and jade nectar were served to greet the Great Luo Immortal Lords, the presence of the Supreme Glazed Treasure Light Fish was often a given.

Of course, consuming it directly would be an utter waste—the true value of this supreme Glazed Luminescent Fish lies in its use for alchemical refinement.

This fish, when refined in the same cauldron as the 7-Colored Glazed Herb, can produce the legendary '7-Colored Glazed Elixir'.

The 7-Colored Glazed Elixir (Spiritual Pill) possessed boundless miraculous effects, capable of cleansing an immortal's soul and inducing an ultimate metamorphosis. If a mighty ancient immortal were to consume it, they could shatter the barriers of the Primordial Spirit.

The 9 Celestial Passages of the Great Dao encompass: the Great Path (Dao), Physical Body, Dao Fruit, Magical Power, Primordial Spirit, Dao Heart, Divine Abilities, Immortal Treasures, and Destiny.

Among the 9 Heavenly Passes, the Divine Soul Pass ranked fifth. This stage required cultivating a Great Luo Divine Soul that had reached the 9 Limits Realm, and the difficulty of breaking through far surpassed that of the previous 4 major passes. Even Eldrin, in his current state, had yet to touch this domain.

From this, 1 could see how precious the Glazed Treasure Light Fish truly was.

At this thought, Eldrin fell into a brief contemplation, his gaze drifting toward Patriarch Tianya and the Celestial Maiden.

The celestial maiden nodded slightly and began, "The value of a single Supreme Glazed Luminous Fish, if perfectly preserved, would far exceed that of ordinary supreme innate treasures by severalfold."

"By conventional standards, a typical innate treasure contains 50 strands of Innate Qi. Based on that calculation, this supreme Glazed Luminescence Fish would be worth over 3 100 strands of Innate Qi."

"If we can refine an immortal elixir, its value will increase by several more points."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) felt a tremor in his heart, further solidifying his resolve to seize this Chaos Nest (Location).

Even for high-level Ancient Immortals at the Fourth Tribulation realm, the value of a single Chaos Treasure Light Fish could rival their entire accumulated wealth.

If they could secure this, the 3 of them would see their cultivation advance by leaps and bounds, and the members of the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) would lack no resources until their breakthroughs to the realm of Ancient Immortals.

At this thought, Eldrin gazed toward the center of the battlefield, took a deep breath, and declared, "This Chaos Lair must be secured by us."

As the words faded, he carefully surveyed the battlefield once more, his brow slightly furrowing.

Elder Tianya took a glance and couldn't help but remark, "With the aid of the formation, these several 100 Glazed Treasure Light Fish have joined forces to activate their innate divine abilities. Their defensive power is extraordinarily formidable—even the Chaos Devouring Heaven Peng won't be able to breach it in a short time."

"Our time is running short. There's no more room for delay."

Hearing this, the Celestial Maiden furrowed her brow deeply and said, "Then what should we do?"

Eldrin pondered briefly before speaking, "With the Chaos Devouring Heaven Roc's power, once they breach that protective formation, this school of Glazed Luminescent Fish won't stand a chance against them."

"We need only silently dismantle this formation and let them destroy each other."

Hearing this, a faint glimmer lit up in both their eyes. The Celestial Maiden smiled gently and said, "Although the Supreme Glazed Luminescent Fish is a Chaos Beast King with considerable intelligence, it lacks sufficient heritage, so the formation it laid is extremely crude."

"Although this formation can hold back the Chaos Devouring Heaven Roc, it may not necessarily withstand us. It will merely require expending some spiritual power."

"Then let's begin."

Eldrin spoke, then with a flick of his sleeve, he slipped into the edge of the Chaos Nest. Silently, he conjured a dozen or so spirit talismans, concealing them within the outer layer of the Chaos Nest.

These areas were weak points of the Chaos Nest, and also served as 1 of the formation eyes for the Chaos Nest's defensive arrays.

Once a weak point was triggered, the entire formation would instantly collapse, allowing them to seize the opportunity to defeat their foes.

After setting up the formation, Eldrin immediately retreated into the depths of chaos and said with a light laugh, "Let's wait and see."

At that very moment, the Chaos Devouring Heaven Roc unleashed its full-force strike. In an instant, overwhelming golden light surged through the primordial chaos, violently crashing against the defensive formation.

In that very instant, the formation that had been as steadfast as Mount Tai began to tremble violently. 1 after another, the formation eyes dimmed abruptly, and then the massive mountain-protecting array shattered into nothingness.

In that instant, the Chaos Devouring Heaven Roc froze for a split second, while the Chaos Glazed Fish King revealed an expression of ecstatic joy before lunging toward the Chaos Nest.

Meanwhile, chaos erupted within the Chaotic Nest. The moment the formation shattered, the Luminous Chaotic Glassfish King realized someone had been sabotaging it from the shadows, yet it could do nothing to intervene.

At this moment, how could the Chaos Devouring Heaven Roc, having barely breached the formation, believe her 1-sided account?

In the blink of an eye, a massacre unfolded. The Chaos Devouring Heaven Roc swept through like an unstoppable force, slaughtering over 30 Chaos Glazed Fish in mere moments before charging toward the Chaos Glazed Fish King with boundless divine energy.

Although this Chaos Glazed Fish King was also a Chaos Beast King, it was not adept at combat in the first place. With a cultivation base of merely the Second Tribulation Ancient Immortal realm, how could it possibly withstand the ferocious onslaught of the Chaos Devouring Heaven Roc?

In just a few 100 exchanges, the Chaos Glazed Fish King was already grievously wounded, its strength diminished by 70 or 80 percent.
