Chapter 905 Distributing the Treasures

Eldrin opened the ledger, and a flicker of delight involuntarily crossed his face.

Over the years, as the Chen family's influence grew, the territory occupied by the Chen Immortal Clan expanded ever more vast. Especially after the fall of the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor, the immense Boundless Great Marsh fell entirely into the hands of the Chen family.

The vast marshlands of today have been incorporated into the territory of Myriad Ruins Continent (Location). Having thus separated from the 3 Veins Ancient Domain, Myriad Ruins Continent (Location) has been renamed the Myriad Abyss Ancient Domain, becoming the seventh ancient domain of Eastern Wastelands (Location).

After seizing control of the 10 1000 Ruins Ancient Domain, the Chen Family had become a superpower spanning 3 mountain ranges and the 10 1000 Ruins Ancient Domain.

Within this territory, the Chen Clan possessed 7 sixth-grade spirit veins: Guyuan Mountain, Flame Prison Blazing Sea, Celestial Vault Isle (Location), 8 Trigrams Island, Spirit Lake Continent, the 100-1000-li Great Wilderness, and Black Dragon Deep.

The remaining fifth-grade spirit veins were countless; according to Eldrin (Person Name), there were already over a 100 of them.

The Chen Clan's influence thus skyrocketed, now boasting over 800 Nascent Soul True Monarchs alone, while low-level cultivators below the Golden Core stage were truly countless.

1 lineage with 7 Dao Lords, 7 sixth-order spirit veins, and 3 sixth-order ancestral veins.

"The foundation of my Chen Clan can truly be called peerless under heaven, no weaker than the supreme legacies of the Dao Palace Holy Land or the Western Pole's Tranquil Spirit Temple."

The elder uncle spoke, an involuntary glimmer of delight flashing between his brows.

Eldrin nodded in agreement, then remarked calmly, "With dominion over such a vast territory, just a few 1000 years of cultivation would be enough for our Chen Clan to become 1 of the most formidable powers in the Violet Realm."

In addition to these enterprises, the Chen Clan's treasury now housed a vast collection of treasures.

Among them were over a dozen Pure Yang spiritual objects, 8 or 9 Pure Yang spirit treasures, and more than 20 Pure Yang-grade spiritual herbs, including 4 Pure Yang Fruits alone.

Many of these treasures were obtained by Eldrin from slaying demonic spirits of the Primordial Divinity, some were seized from the Black Dragon Abyss, while the remainder had been accumulated by the clan over recent years.

"4 stalks of Pure Sun Fruit, 2 stalks of Soul Elixir, and 2 pieces of 'Taixu Profound Jade'—it seems Elder Uncle has been most attentive in recent years."

Setting down the ledger, Eldrin (Person Name) sighed and said.

Among the numerous treasures were 4 stalks of Pure Sun Fruit and 2 pieces of Void-Refining Jade, clearly collected by Chen Changxuan over the years as precious resources prepared for Eldrin, Lyra, and others to break through to the Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage.

At this thought, Eldrin said nothing more, simply producing the several treasures he held in his hand.

Before Eldrin (Person Name) materialized several treasures shimmering with radiant light: the Demon-Subduing Furnace, the Heavenly Demon Pagoda, the Scale-Reversal Sword, the Formless Void-Piercing Sword, the Black Dragon Spear, and the Cosmic Vase, among other artifacts.

Gazing upon the treasures before him, Eldrin observed the Great Universe Vase riddled with cracks and remarked, "Senior Great Universe Vase has sustained grave injuries in this battle. I intend to place it within The Vast Sea, where it may draw upon the boundless power of water essence to be nurtured and restored."

"The remaining treasures, let us divide them among ourselves."

Hearing this, everyone could not help but feel a surge of joy.

A sixth-rank, superior-grade treasure was exceptionally rare. If they could refine 1 or 2 of them, their strength would undoubtedly experience tremendous growth.

Seeing this, Lyra (Person Name) retrieved the Demon-Subduing Furnace with rather mixed emotions. "This Demon-Subduing Furnace was originally my grandfather's ultimate protective treasure bestowed upon my father," she said wistfully. "Who would have thought it would ultimately find its way back to me after all these twists and turns."

"Bzzzz—"

The Demon-Subduing Furnace quivered faintly, as if sensing Lyra's presence. The artifact spirit, once refined by the extraterrestrial demons, seemed to stir briefly from its slumber before sinking back into dormancy.

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) sighed and said, "After being refined by the extraterrestrial demon god, the artifact spirit of the Cleansing Demonic Furnace has been severely damaged. It requires your careful nurturing to gradually recover."

Hmph!

Lyra nodded and stowed away the Demon-Subduing Furnace.

The remaining crowd did not hesitate either. Seraphina Qu (Person Name), a Mythical Immortal Seed of the demonic lineage with unparalleled affinity for the Sky Demon Pagoda, naturally chose this artifact to refine.

Yan Ziji, lacking a top-grade pure yang spirit treasure in her possession, was thus granted priority selection rights and acquired the Scale-Reversing Sword.

Among the remaining treasures, only the Void-Piercing Ethereal Sword and the Black Dragon Spear remained, yet Qing Ji (Person Name), Lila (Person Name), and the old clan leader had yet to make their selections.

Seeing this, Lila (Person Name) shook her head and said, "I possess an Ice Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), and my spiritual power is quite limited. Now that I already have the Frostsoul Immortal Ribbon, even if I were to refine a top-grade Pure Yang spiritual treasure, I fear I wouldn’t have the strength to wield it."

"Besides, there isn't a single pure-yang spiritual treasure with ice attributes here. Even if I took it, I wouldn't be able to unleash its full power. So it's better for Elder Uncle to have it."

"I have no need for it either."

Chen Changxuan shook his head and said with a light laugh, "Merely refining the 8 Trigrams Demon-Refining Banner (Magic Treasure) shall grant me mastery among my peers. Why would I need to divide my attention cultivating other spirit treasures?"

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this, understanding the wisdom in the elder's words.

Seeing that neither of them needed it, Eldrin handed the Void-Piercing Invisible Sword to Qing Ji before turning his gaze to the Black Dragon Spear. "This Black Dragon Spear was forged from Pure Sun Treasure Metal and dragon scales," he remarked. "Its materials are truly extraordinary."

"Now that I possess the Black Dragon's dragon bone, I might be able to refine it into a supreme treasure."

"Very well."

Upon hearing this, Lyra’s eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, “With this in hand, we can refine our artifact-crafting skills a notch further.”

The group divided the treasures, and Eldrin immediately headed toward the Blazing Prison Sea of Flames, ready to continue digesting the gains from this battle.

This time, Eldrin and Lyra joined forces, spending half a year to finally refine the Black Dragon Spear and dragon bones into a supreme treasure.

Lady Yan Zi did not possess a top-grade Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure, thus she was granted priority selection rights. Consequently, she obtained the Scale-Reversal Sword.

Among the remaining treasures, only the Void-Sundering Ethereal Sword and the Black Dragon Spear were left, yet Qing Ji, Lila, and the old clan leader still had not made their choices.

"Besides, there are no ice-attuned Pure Yang Spiritual Treasures here anyway. Even if I took 1, I couldn't unleash its full power. It's better for Elder Uncle to have it."

"I have no need for it either."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this, understanding the logic in Elder Uncle's words.

Seeing that neither of them needed it, Eldrin gave the Void-Piercing Invisible Sword to Qing Ji before turning his gaze to the Black Dragon Spear. "This Black Dragon Spear was forged from Pure Sun Treasure Gold and dragon scales," he remarked. "Its materials are truly extraordinary."

"Now I still have the Black Dragon's dragon bones in my possession. Perhaps they could be fused and refined into a supreme treasure."

"Very well."

Upon hearing this, Lyra’s eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, “With this in hand, we can refine our artifact-crafting skills a notch further.”

After dividing the treasures among themselves, Eldrin headed toward the Sea of Blazing Flames, ready to further digest the gains from this battle.

This time, Eldrin and Lyra joined forces, spending half a year to finally refine the Black Dragon Spear and dragon bones into a supreme treasure.

Chapter 1 The biting northern wind swept across the mountain range, howling like countless vengeful spirits. Snowflakes danced wildly in the air, blanketing the jagged peaks in a layer of pristine white. At the summit of the highest mountain, a solitary figure sat cross-legged upon a massive bluestone, motionless as if carved from ice. Lin Feng had been meditating here for 3 full years. His black robes were tattered, his long hair matted with frost, yet his eyes remained closed in deep concentration. The spiritual energy around him swirled like an invisible vortex, causing the falling snow to veer away before touching his robes. "Finally..." Lin Feng's eyelids fluttered open, his pupils flashing with a faint golden light. "The ninth level of the Frozen Soul Art is complete." He slowly rose, joints cracking like popping beans after years of immobility. With a mere thought, a shimmering barrier materialized around him, deflecting the relentless wind. This was the Ice Soul Barrier, a signature defense of the Frozen Soul Art that could withstand attacks from Foundation Establishment realm cultivators. Checking his spatial pouch, Lin Feng sighed. Only 30-2 mid-grade spirit stones remained from the thousands he'd accumulated over the years. Cultivation truly consumed resources at an alarming rate. "Senior Brother Lin!" A clear voice called from below the cliff. A young girl in azure robes floated up on a glowing sword, her movements graceful as a descending swan. She landed lightly before him, her eyes sparkling with admiration. "The sect leader requests your presence. The Heavenly Tribulation is approaching." Lin Feng nodded slightly. "Thank you, Junior Sister Ming. I shall go immediately." Ming Yue hesitated before speaking again. "Senior Brother... the Grand Elder said your cultivation speed is unprecedented in our sect's history. But the Heavenly Tribulation... countless geniuses have fallen to it." A faint smile touched Lin Feng's lips. "If the heavens wish to test me, then I shall face their trial." With that, he stepped off the cliff. Instead of falling, he strode through the air as if walking on solid ground, each step carrying him dozens of meters forward. This was the Cloud Treading technique, requiring at least Golden Core cultivation to perform. Below, countless disciples watched in awe as Lin Feng moved toward the main peak. For nearly a 1000 years, no 1 in the Frozen Soul Sect had attempted the Heavenly Tribulation. Those who did either ascended to a higher realm or perished utterly. The main hall stood imposingly at the mountain's summit, constructed entirely of ice-veined stone that glowed with a soft blue light. As Lin Feng entered, the current sect leader and 3 grand elders awaited him. "Disciple Lin Feng pays respect to Sect Leader and Grand Elders." Lin Feng bowed slightly. Sect Leader Xu Kong, an old man with hair as white as snow but eyes sharper than eagles, studied him carefully. "Your cultivation has reached the peak of Nascent Soul. The tribulation will arrive in 3 days. Are you prepared?" Lin Feng met his gaze steadily. "This disciple is ready." 1 of the grand elders stepped forward, offering a jade bottle. "This is a Tribulation Passage Pill I obtained centuries ago. It may increase your chances by 10 percent." Lin Feng's eyes widened slightly. A Tribulation Passage Pill was incredibly precious, worth over 10 1000 high-grade spirit stones. "Grand Elder, this is too valuable." "Take it." The grand elder's tone brooked no argument. "You are the hope of our Frozen Soul Sect. We have waited 9 1000 years for someone like you to appear." Accepting the bottle, Lin Feng felt its cool energy seep into his palm. "This disciple will not disappoint you." As he turned to leave, Sect Leader Xu Kong spoke once more. "Remember, Lin Feng, the Heavenly Tribulation tests not only your power but your heart. Face it without regrets, without fear." Lin Feng paused at the doorway, the howling wind outside echoing the turmoil within. He had cultivated for over a 100 years to reach this point. Now, his moment of truth approached. 3 days. Then he would either transcend to the next realm or become another cautionary tale in the annals of cultivation. He glanced at the snow-covered peaks stretching into the distance, his expression resolute. No matter how fierce the heavenly punishment, he would endure. For in his spatial pouch, hidden even from the sect elders, lay his greatest secret - the mysterious bronze mirror he'd discovered as a mortal boy, the artifact that had guided his incredible cultivation speed all these years. The mirror that now pulsed with strange energy as the tribulation drew near.
