Chapter 877 : A Clan's Blossoming Fortune

Eldrin Chen possessed exceptionally profound and vast spiritual power [the internal energy cultivated by practitioners of the mystical arts], yet consuming a single one of these could still increase his cultivation base by roughly half a level, saving him a thousand years of arduous cultivation.

With these two Primordial Solar Fruit [a legendary fruit brimming with the essence of the primordial sun], he was confident he could break through to the Primordial Spirit 2nd Tier [the second stage of the Primordial Spirit realm, representing a significant advancement in one's spiritual core] within three hundred years.

Such a precious item was not something he could refuse. He simply stated, "After these two batches of Primordial Solar Elixir [a supreme-grade pill refined from Primordial Solar Fruit] are successfully refined, I will leave three of the Precious Pill [a general term for pills of exceptional rarity and power] for the Horizon Pavilion."

"Very well."

The Master of the Horizon Pavilion nodded and said, "Then it is settled."

"..."

After obtaining the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation Jade Marrow [a rare spiritual material tempered by heavenly thunder tribulation] and the Primordial Solar Elixir, Eldrin Chen set off for the Eastern Region Great Wasteland. Not long after, he returned to Spirit Isle Lake.

Shortly after his arrival at Spirit Isle Lake, Exquisite Jiang and Verdant Consort sought him out. "You departed for the Eastern Sea in such haste," they said, "there was news we hadn't yet shared."

"Now that you have returned, it is time you heard this joyous news."

"Oh?" Eldrin Chen's gaze flickered, and he couldn't help but ask, "What matter has brought you such delight?" Join our community of readers at audio–novel.com.

Verdant Consort exchanged a glance with Exquisite Jiang and said with a smile, "During the years you were in seclusion refining pills, the clan's Path Hearing Blossom Tree has fully recovered, and the Purple Marrow Divine Fruit Tree also recently advanced to the Sixth Rank realm."

"Truly?"

Eldrin Chen's face lit up with immense joy. Forgetting even the elation of obtaining the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation Jade Marrow, he immediately headed for the Hundred-Thousand-Mile Great Wasteland.

After over one thousand five hundred years of development, the Hundred-Thousand-Mile Great Wasteland was no longer a barren land. Instead, it had become a rare paradise in the Mortal Realm within the Purple Seal Realm.

This place was home to two Worldly Spiritual Root: the Purple Marrow Divine Fruit Tree and the Heaven and Earth Spirit Tea Tree. The former had already ascended to the Sixth Rank realm, its vast spiritual energy enveloping the entire Hundred-Thousand-Mile Great Wasteland.

Upon arriving at the Hundred-Thousand-Mile Great Wasteland, Eldrin Chen swept his divine sense across the hundred-thousand Li-length [one Li-length equals five hundred meters] expanse. Seeing the countless mortals and cultivators of the Chen Clan living and working in peace and contentment, a genuine smile touched his lips.

Within this hundred-thousand Li-length [one Li-length equals five hundred meters] of heaven and earth, the Human Race no longer feared venomous insects or savage beasts, nor dreaded floods or fires, nor trembled before Demonic Cultivator or the Demon Race. They could quietly multiply and thrive—this alone was a profoundly comforting sight.

A single thought spanned mountains and rivers; the Horizon was but a step away.

Before he knew it, Eldrin Chen had arrived before a great city.

After a few more steps, he stood before a towering tree that seemed to pierce the heavens.

Unlike the Spiritual Peach Tree or the Ancient Enlightenment Tea Tree, this Purple Marrow Divine Fruit Tree was a true Heavenly God-grade tree [a tree of divine nature, reaching the Heavenly God cultivation realm].

It stood three thousand Zhang-lengths [one Zhang-length equals three point three three meters] tall, its entire form enveloped in a divine violet radiance and profound Dao-infused aura, with every single leaf etched with intricate Dao patterns [mystical inscriptions representing the fundamental laws of the universe].

"What a magnificent treasure,"

Eldrin Chen could not help but reveal a faint smile as he gazed upon the Purple Marrow Divine Fruit Tree.

This Purple Marrow Divine Fruit Tree contained boundless Dao patterns within, each leaf and branch possessing astonishing and profound mysteries.

Merely plucking a single leaf and refining it slightly could transform it into a magical treasure Immortal Sword [an enchanted blade of immortal grade], while a small twig could be forged into a Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a supreme-grade magical artifact of the Primordial Solar realm].

The most crucial Purple Marrow Divine Fruit, of course, possessed even more miraculous and profound properties.

Observing the three divine fruits upon the tree, Eldrin Chen performed a brief divination before saying with a smile, "This Purple Marrow Divine Fruit Tree blossoms once every thousand years, bears fruit for another thousand, and requires a final thousand to ripen."

"Once matured, the three fruits it produces contain the profound mysteries of Creation [the fundamental force of genesis and formation], capable of aiding a cultivator in comprehending a Primordial Solar Divine Ability [a supreme divine art of the Primordial Solar realm]."

"For an ordinary Primordial Spirit Path Lord [a cultivator at the Primordial Spirit Path Lord realm], obtaining just one fruit would be sufficient to comprehend a single Primordial Solar Divine Ability, or to perfect the refinement method for a top-grade Innate Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a supreme magical treasure of the Primordial Solar realm, born from innate principles]."

At this point, his voice paused slightly before he continued, "For those of us with transcendent comprehension like you and me, consuming a single one might be enough to fully master the Primordial Solar Divine Ability to the Great Perfection Realm."

"This treasure is indeed precious."

Lila nodded, a glimmer of joy appearing in her eyes.

The value of this Purple Marrow Divine Fruit [a legendary fruit said to enhance one's comprehension of profound truths] is immeasurable. If a great power at the Primordial Spirit Late Stage consumes it, they could save a vast amount of time spent comprehending Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power] or perfecting their Lifebound Spiritual Treasure [a treasure nurtured and bound to one's very life force]. It could allow them to cultivate an additional Superior Spiritual Treasure [a top-tier enchanted artifact] or Great Vehicle Divine Ability [a supreme-level supernatural power], resulting in a significant boost to their combat prowess.

Eldrin Chen plucked the Purple Marrow Divine Fruit and took one for himself, saying, "This time, I obtained the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation Jade Marrow [a marrow refined from jade tempered by heavenly thunder tribulation], the most crucial treasure for cultivating the Great Five Elements Primordial Solar Divine Thunder is now assembled."

"This Purple Marrow Divine Fruit has indeed arrived at the perfect time. We should also commission someone to gather that Five Elements Heavenly Thunder Tribulation Liquid [a rare liquid containing the essence of the five elements tempered by heavenly thunder]."

Exquisite Jiang also nodded in agreement. After taking one Purple Marrow Divine Fruit, she said, "I will take one. It should enable me to master the 'Five-Colored Divine Light'."

"Very well."

Everyone nodded in assent. That Five-Colored Divine Light was the most powerful luminous Divine Ability within the Purple Seal Realm.

It was said that once mastered, a mere flick of the sleeve could capture all things within its grasp. As long as the target's power fell within the scope of the Five Elements [the fundamental spiritual affinities of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth], they would be suppressed. Even a Primordial Spirit Path Lord [a master who has reached the peak of the Primordial Spirit stage] could be subdued with a mere turn of the hand.

Exquisite Jiang's innate talent in the Great Five Elements Divine Thunder [a supreme divine ability harnessing the combined power of the five fundamental elements] was not on par with Eldrin Chen's. However, her comprehension of the divine abilities [mystical techniques of immense power] belonging to the lineage of divine light was by no means lacking.

She had now abandoned cultivating the Great Five Elements Divine Thunder and focused all her efforts on comprehending the Five Elements Divine Light [a divine ability that manifests as a radiant light embodying the five elements]. Her goal was to master this Divine Ability so that she could lend Eldrin Chen a powerful hand in the future.

In truth, her choice was wise. A cultivator's energy and focus are finite, and before achieving immortality, one is bound by the limits of a mortal lifespan. It is naturally impossible to master every single one of the Hundred Crafts of Cultivation [a metaphorical term for the myriad arts and techniques of cultivation].

The path of cultivation requires both pursuit and sacrifice. Her comprehension was not equal to Eldrin Chen's, so she dared not seek perfection in all things.

For her, mastering this 'Five-Colored Divine Light' [another name for the Five Elements Divine Light] would be enough—a single, supremely potent technique to overcome myriad challenges. If she could cultivate it to the Great Perfection Realm [the pinnacle stage of mastery for a technique or art], it would rival an 'Immortal Divine Ability' [a divine ability of such power it is worthy of immortals], allowing her to dominate the Primordial Spirit Realm [the realm of cultivating one's primordial spiritual core] with near invincibility.

Seeing that only one of the three Purple Marrow Divine Fruit [a miraculous fruit that can cleanse and strengthen one's marrow and spiritual foundation] remained, Verdant Consort and Lila exchanged a glance.

Verdant Consort looked at Lila and yielded graciously, "You inherit an Immortal Path Lineage [a direct lineage of teachings leading to immortality]. This last Purple Marrow Divine Fruit should go to you."

"There is no need," Lila quickly shook her head, declining. "Whether in terms of cultivation base or innate Creation [talent and creative potential for the Dao], I cannot compare to you, elder sister."

"This treasure is better suited for you. With your level of spiritual power, if you obtain it, you would even be able to contend with experts at the Primordial Spirit Late Stage [the advanced stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm]."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen also understood that Lila's reasoning was sound.

Taking a deep breath, he made the decision. "Since we are to strike against the Outer Realm Heavenly Demon [a powerful demonic entity from beyond this world], our priority must be to enhance our combat strength."

"If Verdant Consort refines the Primordial Solar Elixir [a supreme pill containing the essence of the primordial sun], she can break through to the Primordial Spirit 2nd Tier [the second level of the Primordial Spirit realm]. Her spiritual power would then rival that of a Primordial Spirit Mid Stage [mid-stage Primordial Spirit] cultivator."

"Once she masters a Great Vehicle Divine Ability [a supreme-level divine technique], she would pose a significant threat even to a Primordial Spirit Late Stage [late-stage Primordial Spirit] expert."

The others saw the logic in Eldrin Chen's words, and thus the matter was settled.

With the three Purple Marrow Divine Fruit [divine fruits that can purify and strengthen one's marrow] allocated, Eldrin Chen felt a measure of relief. "Let's not rush into seclusion just yet," he suggested. "First, let us go and see the Path Hearing Blossom [a legendary flower said to grant insights into the Heavenly Dao]."

"Agreed."

Exquisite Jiang nodded, a flicker of excitement lighting her eyes.

The group flew towards the Vast Sea and soon arrived at the Water Vein [a concentrated, flowing nexus of water-attuned spiritual energy] within Celestial Dome Island.

Inside Celestial Dome Island, Eldrin Chen found Nyssa Qu. Seeing the white-robed figure approach, Nyssa's heart swelled with joy. Yet, upon noticing the three immortal maidens accompanying him, a faint, inexplicable pang of sourness touched her heart.

She offered a slight bow, turning her head aside. "Greetings, Young Master. Greetings, fellow Daoists."

"Fellow Daoist Qu, there is no need for such formality."

With the Path Hearing Blossom now ripe, Exquisite Jiang's heart was filled with such delight that she failed to notice the subtle shift in Nyssa Qu's expression.

It was Verdant Consort whose gaze sharpened, her eyes appraising Nyssa Qu with a keen, measured look before she gave a calm, acknowledging nod. Experience the full epic at audio - novel . com.
