Chapter 1035 : Garden of Ancient Immortality

The moment he stepped into the Immortal Herb Garden, Eldrin Chen discovered dozens of Immortal Herbs growing within.

These Immortal Herbs were different from those found in ordinary Spirit Medicine gardens. They were already exceedingly rare Immortal Herbs to begin with, and after growing for millions of years, they had transformed into ancient medicines of extraordinary value.

The grade of these Immortal Herbs mostly reached the level of Middle Grade Immortal Rank, with many achieving the grade of High Grade Immortal Herbs.

The two most precious among them seemed to have transcended the limits of Immortal Herbs, faintly touching the Earth Immortal Realm and attaining the state of Supreme Grade Immortal Herb.

Of those two most precious ancient medicines, one was an Immortal Ginseng that had nearly taken human form, while the other was a precious herb shaped like an 'ancient furnace'.

"Immortal Ginseng, Heaven-Mending Herb."

The first to rush in was the Human Race cultivator at the Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality, Zephyr the Daoist.

Upon seeing the two precious herbs, his face lit up with delight. Both treasures before him were of immeasurable, peerless value.

Ginseng is the very essence of heaven and earth. This Immortal Ginseng, having nearly transcended the realm of Immortal Herbs, possessed astonishing medicinal potency. If he consumed it, he was confident he could even break through to the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm.

The Heaven-Mending Herb was also incredibly precious. It was said this herb could help a cultivator mend their foundational flaws, greatly enhancing their cultivation aptitude and latent potential. Your portal to cultivation novels: audio-novel . com.

Before their eyes, this Heaven-Mending Herb [a legendary herb said to possess the power to mend the very heavens] had approached the level of an Earth Immortal [a powerful terrestrial immortal], constituting a rare treasure even for a true Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality].

"Whoosh!"

In that fleeting instant of lightning and flint, Zephyr the Daoist did not hesitate. He transformed into a blur, lunging towards the Immortal Ginseng [a ginseng of immense spiritual potency, coveted by immortals] and snatching it into his possession.

Then, he once again coalesced into a gust of shadowy wind, surging forth to claim the Heaven-Mending Herb as well.

But at that very moment, a Five-Colored Divine Radiance [a sacred light embodying the power of the five primal elements] swept across the space, instantly ensnaring and spiriting away the Heaven-Mending Herb.

Eldrin Chen followed close behind, the second to charge into the Immortal Herb Garden [a celestial garden where herbs of immortal grade grow]. With swift hands and keen eyes, he secured the precious ancient herb.

"Damnation!"

Zephyr the Daoist's expression turned icy, a murderous intent towards Eldrin Chen flickering in his gaze.

Yet, at that moment, a torrent of radiant streams flooded in. Crimson Dragon Scion and Void-Refining Immortal [an immortal title signifying mastery over refining the void] surged forward with the others, plunging into a frenzied scramble to harvest the Immortal Herbs [plants of celestial origin, brimming with potent spiritual essence].

Seeing the chaos unfold, Zephyr the Daoist could no longer afford to dwell on the lost Heaven-Mending Herb. In an instant, he joined the frantic fray.

Having obtained the most precious Heaven-Mending Herb [a legendary herb said to possess the power to mend the heavens themselves], Eldrin Chen did not hesitate. Exchanging a glance with Void-Refining Immortal [an immortal title signifying mastery over the void], he instantly bolted out of the Immortal Herb Garden.

Just before departing, Eldrin Chen swept his Five-Colored Divine Radiance [a divine ability manifesting as a radiant light of five colors] across the area, also gathering several other precious Immortal Herbs.

Scarcely had they left when the Immortal Herbs within the Immortal Herb Garden were completely plundered. The assembled cultivators, their truce shattered, immediately descended into a chaotic melee, fighting amongst themselves to seize the remaining herbs.

The Zephyr Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to the Immortal Realm], his expression icy cold, charged out with the clear intent to pursue Eldrin Chen.

"BOOM!"

But at that very moment, the void trembled violently. The Heaven-Mimic Serpent [a colossal serpent demon beast capable of mimicking heavenly phenomena] broke free from the restraints of the Immortal Net [an enchanted net designed to capture immortal beings] and instantly launched an attack upon the crowd.

Blocked and delayed by the serpent's assault, the Zephyr Immortal could only watch helplessly as the two figures flew beyond the boundaries of the Spirit Medicine Garden.

"Why the haste to leave?"

Having followed Eldrin Chen in their escape from the Spirit Medicine Garden, Void-Refining Immortal could not help but voice his confusion.

Eldrin Chen remained silent, leading Void-Refining Immortal further on until they found a desolate mountain to conceal themselves. Only then did he retrieve the Heaven-Mending Herb from within his robes.

"Is this... a Supreme Grade Immortal Herb [a legendary herb of the highest quality, capable of granting immense benefits to Immortals]?"

Void-Refining Immortal was utterly astounded, his face revealing a trace of sheer awe.

Eldrin Chen nodded, his expression grave as he affirmed, "Indeed it is!"

It was no wonder Void-Refining Immortal was so shocked. The value of this Supreme Grade Immortal Herb was utterly staggering. Like a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [a weapon or artifact of supreme power, surpassing the limits of the Ascension to Immortality Realm], it transcended the limits of the Ascension to Immortality Realm [the final major realm before achieving true Immortality], something even many Earth Immortal Progenitor [powerful Immortals who have established their own Dao lineage] would covet.

This particular Supreme Grade Immortal Herb-grade Heaven-Mending Herb [a herb famed for its ability to mend foundational flaws in one's cultivation] could help an Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality through cultivation] repair part of their foundational aptitude [the spiritual and physical foundation of a cultivator's power], its worth truly beyond measure.

For an Immortal of Void-Refining Immortal's caliber, refining this Supreme Grade Immortal Herb would allow them to mend a portion of their foundational aptitude, significantly increasing their chances of a breakthrough into the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm [a transitional state between Immortal and Earth Immortal].

"The value of this single Immortal Herb must be nearly equivalent to a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure," he mused. "No wonder that Zephyr the Daoist was so desperate to pursue you."

With this thought, Void-Refining Immortal's expression turned solemn. "It seems we cannot linger long in this Earth Immortal Ruins [the remains of an Earth Immortal's dwelling or cultivation ground]. We should depart at the earliest opportunity."

"My thoughts exactly,"

Eldrin Chen agreed with a nod, rising to his feet to gaze upon the vast expanse of the Earth Immortal Blessed Land [a land imbued with profound spiritual energy, often created or inhabited by an Earth Immortal].

Within the Earth Immortal Blessed Land [a realm of profound spiritual energy and natural wonders], the assembled Immortals were still vying for treasures in every corner. The sole regret was that the Formation [a complex array of energy channels and seals] protecting the Alchemy Pavilion, the Artificer's Hall, and the Scripture Repository were far too formidable. None of the gathered Immortals possessed the confidence to breach them.

Contemplating this, Eldrin Chen mused aloud, "This Earth Immortal Blessed Land is riddled with the Formation and Restrictive Formation [a type of defensive or sealing array] left behind by the ancient Crimson Sun Blessed Land."

"In my view, while the methods of all present Immortal [beings who have ascended to a higher state of existence] are extraordinary, none are capable of unlocking them."

"Then let us not linger. We should depart now."

So saying, Eldrin Chen summoned his Swiftflight Light [a technique for rapid aerial travel] and prepared to soar out of the ancient ruins.

Yet, at that very moment, the vast Earth Immortal World [the broader world or plane of existence] trembled faintly, followed by a violent shudder that rocked the heavens and the earth.

In an instant, Eldrin Chen felt the very world sway, as if mountains spanning tens of thousands of Li-lengths were tilting on their axes.

He lifted his gaze toward the distant edges of the Earth Immortal World, and his expression shifted to one of profound shock.

"That is..."

There, at the horizon where sky met land, four colossal pillars that held up the heavens thrust directly into the Firmament [the vault of the sky], standing firm as they braced the cosmos.

Those were the Four Extremities Heaven Pillars of this Earth Immortal World. They upheld the Firmament and the great earth, the pivotal treasures upon which the stability of this world hinged.

Yet at this very moment, at the southernmost edge of the Earth Immortal Realm, three Nine Heavens Immortal Deities stood poised in the sky, joining forces to contend with that Pillar of the Heavens.

Those three were none other than the Azure Firmament Goddess, the Duskfall Scion, and the Azure Simurgh Immortal Maiden.

"They are..."

Void-Refining Immortal's countenance was one of utter shock as he spoke, his voice trembling slightly.

Eldrin Chen drew a deep breath and nodded. "They intend to uproot this Heaven Pillar of the Four Extremities."

"BOOM!"

As Eldrin Chen's words fell, the Heaven Pillar erupted with a dazzling immortal radiance. An aura of vast, ancient Primordial Chaos exploded forth, suppressing all things like a divine column from the dawn of time.

This was a pillar that propped up the heavens. To uproot it required opposing the very strength of the entire world.

Now, three of the most supreme Immortal had joined hands, yet they could only cause it to tremble, unable to wrench it from its foundation.

Seeing that she could not uproot the Celestial Pillar, Azure Simurgh Immortal Maiden furrowed her elegant brows and spoke with grave seriousness, "Hold nothing back. It is on the verge of awakening."

"Then let us act," came the reply.

In that instant, the three of them moved as one, unleashing their most profound and guarded techniques.

Duskfall Scion was the first to strike, summoning forth the Setting Sun Blessed Land's legacy treasure, the 'Myriad Miles Duskfall Pearl'.

The Myriad Miles Duskfall Pearl ascended like a miniature sun, its power surging forth in a torrential wave to crash against the Celestial Pillar.

A deafening roar echoed as the pillar, struck by this colossal force, began to tilt precariously.

Yet, in that very same moment, an unseen and profound Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles governing reality] lashed out from the void. The other three Celestial Pillars erupted with overwhelming radiance, their power converging to suppress the trio.

Facing this deluge of Law Power [power derived from the fundamental laws of the cosmos], Azure Firmament Goddess soared skyward. She summoned her companion treasure, the Azure Firmament Divine Thunder Mirror, unleashing a cataclysmic tide of Azure Firmament Divine Thunder [divine lightning of the azure heavens]. The thunderous onslaught drowned out all else, momentarily holding back the crushing weight of the Laws of the Dao. The complete novel can be found at audio . novel . com.
