Chapter 1027 : Treasures of the Celestial Bazaar

As the host of the Barter Convention [a grand gathering where cultivators trade rare treasures and resources], Sylas Ye, the Immortal offered the customary pleasantries before sweeping his sleeve to release several treasures into view.

With merely a glance, the gazes of all present subtly sharpened, and many could not help but reveal looks of astonishment.

They saw that Sylas Ye had produced three items: a piece of crimson blood jade, a Gilded Spirit Vase [a vase forged from spirit-gold, said to possess purifying properties], and a single Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill [a supreme elixir wreathed in cloud-like patterns, said to grant profound enlightenment].

"The Setting Sun Blood Jade [a legendary jade imbued with the essence of the setting sun], the Gilded Spirit Vase, and the Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill."

The moment these treasures appeared, the eyes of the Void-Refining Immortal [a title for an immortal who refines the void] flickered slightly in recognition of their origins.

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen felt a subtle shift in his brow.

Although it had been several hundred years since his ascension to the Immortal Realm [the higher plane of existence where immortals reside], a span that seemed brief compared to the million-year lifespans of true Immortal [beings who have achieved immortality], his knowledge was far from negligible.

Now, with the Void-Refining Immortal naming the treasures, Eldrin Chen swiftly grasped their profound significance.

Among the treasures presented, the Setting Sun Blood Jade was a unique product of the Setting Sun Blessed Land [a sacred land bathed in the light of the eternal sunset], and its origin was truly astonishing.

Legend spoke that during the previous Calamity Tribulation [a cataclysmic era of heavenly retribution], the Innate Divine Spirit [a primordial being born of heaven and earth] known as 'Setting Sun Celestial God' [the Celestial Deity of the Setting Sun] failed to transcend his tribulation and met his end, passing into eternal slumber within the depths of the Setting Sun Sea [a vast sea perpetually illuminated by a dying sun's glow]. Find thousands of chapters at audio-novel*com.

After the Setting Sun Celestial God [a powerful deity associated with the setting sun] fell, his physical body transformed into the Setting Sun Blessed Land, and his Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] merged with the Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles of the universe], becoming an eternal, unsetting crimson sun upon the horizon.

His blood also seeped deep into the Setting Sun Ancient Continent, forming a vein of ore of astonishing value.

This ore vein is the Sunset Blood Jade Vein [a legendary mineral vein formed from celestial blood], within which is nurtured the Setting Sun Blood Jade [a precious jade imbued with the essence of the setting sun], a treasure of incalculable worth, offering significant benefits even to an Earth Immortal Progenitor [a foundational immortal of the earth element].

For a Demon Immortal [an immortal who follows a demonic cultivation path] or a divine being, obtaining and refining a single piece could greatly enhance one's innate aptitude, increasing the chance of a breakthrough to the Earth Immortal [the Earth Immortal realm] by half a measure.

In the hands of a Human Race Immortal, it could serve as the primary ingredient for refining a High Grade Immortal Pill [a supreme-grade elixir for immortals] or be forged into a High Grade Immortal Treasure [a supreme-grade enchanted artifact for immortals], its uses truly boundless.

Beyond the Setting Sun Blood Jade, the Purple Gold Purifying Vase is itself a High Grade Immortal Treasure, and the Sky-Touching Pill can assist an Immortal in breaking through to the Sky-Reaching Realm [the Sky-Reaching Immortal realm], boosting the certainty of advancing to the Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm [the late stage of the Immortal Ascension realm] by three-tenths.

Faced with these three treasures, every Immortal present felt their hearts stir with profound desire.

"Esteemed colleagues."

Seeing their evident longing, Sylas Ye, the Immortal [an immortal cultivator] allowed a subtle gleam to pass through his eyes before speaking with a gentle smile, "The value of these three treasures, I trust, is clear to all."

"To speak plainly, these artifacts are exceedingly rare and precious, even within our Setting Sun Blessed Land, counted among our most treasured possessions."

"Therefore, I have brought it forth this time with the intention of exchanging it for two rare and precious treasures."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was momentarily taken aback, their gazes flickering with surprise.

Six Stars Immortal stroked his long beard thoughtfully before speaking in a measured tone, "Might I inquire, Fellow Daoist, what kind of treasures you seek in exchange?"

"Treasures suitable for forging an Earth Stabilizing Plate, Four Extremities Divine Pillars, or a World-Suppressing Bell."

The assembled Immortal [beings who have transcended mortality and attained immortality] exchanged looks of profound shock, each shaking their head in turn.

Xander Qian offered a wry smile and a shake of his head. "Surely you jest, Fellow Daoist. Treasures of that caliber are of inestimable value. Even if one of us possessed such an item, why would we part with it so readily?"

It became clear then that the treasures mentioned by Sylas Ye, the Immortal were none other than the supreme artifacts used by an Earth Immortal [an immortal who has opened their own inner world] to cleave chaos and forge their own world.

For a cultivator at the Pinnacle of Immortal Ascension, seeking to advance their cultivation and break through into the Earth Immortal Realm, three critical requirements exist beyond mere cultivation level and a Deep-Seated Foundation [a profoundly stable and potent cultivation base]. The most crucial of these is the acquisition of three specific World-Opening Treasure.

These three World-Opening Treasure are known as the Heaven-Bearing, the Four Extremities, and the World-Suppressing treasures.

The so-called Heaven-Bearing treasure is the ultimate artifact that steadies and balances the earth. The Four Extremities represents the four celestial pillars, the key artifacts that uphold the very heavens and the earth.

The final World-Suppressing Treasure [a supreme artifact used to stabilize a world], is the object that anchors the Firmament [the celestial dome or sky of a world]. That World-Suppressing Treasure can draw upon the primordial energy of the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation] and transform it into spiritual energy that circulates within the Earth Immortal World [a self-contained minor world created and sustained by an Earth Immortal], serving as the vital core for the Earth Immortal World's very existence.

These three treasures of the world—the Four Extremities [the four pillars that support the corners of the sky]—are the keystones of World Creation [the supreme act of creating a self-sustaining minor world]. Without the Heaven-Bearing Treasure [the treasure that bears the weight of the heavens], the earth loses its solidity and substance, and the very balance between heaven and earth cannot be maintained.

Without the Four Extremities Heaven Pillars [the four celestial pillars that uphold the firmament], the Firmament itself would collapse, and the Earth Immortal World would crumble into nothingness in an instant.

And if the World-Suppressing Treasure were missing, the primordial energies of heaven and earth would be unable to circulate and renew, ultimately transforming the world into a lifeless wasteland.

Therefore, for an Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has reached the realm of creating their own minor world] to attempt a breakthrough into the Earth Immortal Realm, they must gather all three types of World-Opening Treasure [the treasures required to successfully perform World Creation]. Otherwise, even if the act of World Creation initially succeeds, the newly formed world will inevitably collapse back into the Primordial Chaos.

Thus, these Three Treasures of World Creation are of paramount importance. However, the sheer weight and substance of an Earth Immortal World far surpasses that of an ordinary Great Thousand World [a major, naturally formed world]. Common artifacts simply lack the power and stability to serve as World-Opening Treasure. Immerse yourself in the complete world at audio–novel.com.

According to lore passed down within the Immortal Domain [the collective realms of the immortals], among the Three Treasures of World Creation, forging the four celestial pillars requires felling at least four trunks of high-grade Acquired Spiritual Root [a spiritual root of immense power, born after the creation of the world].

Yet, how exceedingly rare are Acquired Spiritual Root? Such treasures are also hailed as Immortal Root [a root so potent it is considered an immortal-grade treasure], capable of serving as the foundational heirloom of an entire Immortal Clan [a clan or family with immortal-level cultivators]. They are objects of desperate longing for many an Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality], let alone high-grade Immortal Root.

Even within a formidable Earth Immortal power like the Setting Sun Blessed Land [a powerful territory ruled by an Earth Immortal], high-grade Immortal Root are likely exceedingly scarce.

Furthermore, the World-Suppressing Treasure and the Heaven-Bearing Treasure are even more precious. They must at least attain the rank of a Supreme Grade Postnatal Spiritual Treasure [a top-tier spiritual treasure forged after the world's creation] to barely qualify as World-Opening Treasure.

"The Three Treasures of World Creation [the three supreme artifacts said to have been used to shape the cosmos at the dawn of time]."

Eldrin Chen listened quietly to Xander Qian's explanation, and the light between his brows grew increasingly radiant.

The Heaven and Earth Treasure [a supreme artifact that maintains the balance of the cosmos], the Four Heavenly Pillars that support the Four Extremities, and the World-Suppressing Treasure responsible for the circulation of primordial Qi [the vital energy that flows through all living things].

In all his years of cultivation, this was the first time he had encountered the concept of the Three Treasures of World Creation. It felt as if a path forward had suddenly opened before him, revealing a clear direction for his future ascension.

Seeing his expression, Xander Qian smiled and continued, "There are few treasures capable of serving as a World-Opening Treasure. Moreover, directly purchasing one is considered an inferior method."

"Legend holds that the best approach is to acquire rare materials and elevate one's own Lifebound Immortal Treasure to the realm of a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure."

"By using the Lifebound Immortal Treasure as the World-Opening Treasure and then fusing it with the World-Initiating Qi [the primordial breath born at the moment of cosmic creation], one can advance their Lifebound Immortal Treasure into the Earth Immortal Realm."

"This is the origin of why an Earth Immortal Artifact is also called a World-Initiating Immortal Treasure."

"So that is how it is."

As he listened to Xander Qian's words, Eldrin Chen felt a profound clarity wash over him, as if a veil had been lifted. A subtle yet brilliant light ignited within the depths of his eyes.

When the time came for his breakthrough into the Earth Immortal [a supreme cultivation realm where one becomes one with the earth and establishes their own immortal domain] realm, he would use the Flood Water Azure Lotus Platform and the Earth-Fortress Sovereign Bell to anchor and stabilize the earth, while employing the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords to support the Four Extremities [a treasure representing the four cardinal directions and the pillars of the world].

Then, with the Yin-Yang Void Realm serving as his World-Suppressing Treasure [a supreme treasure used to stabilize and govern a self-created world], his Earth Immortal Realm [the personal immortal domain created by an Earth Immortal] would undoubtedly be forged with unparalleled stability.

Furthermore, the World-Opening Treasure [a treasure of immense power capable of cleaving open a new world], nurtured and elevated by the World-Initiating Qi [the primordial energy from which a world is born], would converge the might of an entire world within it. Its power would be truly earth-shattering and sky-rending in its terror.

"No wonder the rumors persist," he mused, "that a World-Initiating Immortal Treasure [an immortal-grade treasure of world-creation] can, with effortless ease, cleave open a Great Thousand World [a vast and complete world within the cosmos]."

"So it is because the World-Initiating Immortal Treasure is backed and supported by an Earth Immortal Realm itself—a domain even vaster and more profound than a Great Thousand World."

"Every single strike from a World-Initiating Immortal Treasure concentrates the power of an entire world. It must possess the dreadful might to reforge heaven and earth, to shatter the starry void itself."

Eldrin Chen murmured these thoughts softly to himself before slowly suppressing the swirling concepts within his mind.

His gaze shifted to Sylas Ye, the Immortal upon the stage. A thoughtful, distant light entered his eyes as he spoke in a low, measured tone: "The Setting Sun Blessed Land seeks to purchase materials capable of forging a World-Opening Treasure. Could it be they intend to nurture another Earth Immortal into existence?" For more chapters, visit audio–novel.com for the complete novel.
