Chapter 1046 : The Sage's Legacy and a Divine Treasure

This is the bearing of an ancient sage. Once cultivated to its ultimate limit, the Dual Pupils can cleave the heavens, and the certainty of breaking through the Earth Immortal Realm far surpasses that of ordinary Immortal cultivators.

"A world-shaking immortal aptitude, possessing the potential to break through to Earth Immortal and even Heaven Immortal."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, offering this evaluation.

Though it was merely a sliver of possibility, it was astonishing enough.

Noticing Eldrin Chen's expression, Sky Feather Immortal could not help but speak with a hint of pride. "This is my daughter, Melody Lu. She has just passed eight hundred years of age and has only recently entered the Primordial Spirit Realm [the spiritual core cultivation stage]."

Eldrin Chen nodded upon hearing this. An eight-hundred-year-old Nascent Soul Dao Lord [a master of the nascent soul cultivation stage]—this Melody Lu was indeed worthy of her peerless immortal aptitude.

Thinking of this, his confidence in this journey grew by several degrees. This Melody Lu clearly showed signs of having been nurtured with divine treasures; Sky Feather Immortal must surely know of such items.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen did not engage in excessive pleasantries. He simply cupped his hands and stated directly, "To speak plainly, my wife is currently with child. I have come on this journey seeking to refine a divine treasure for nurturing the fetus."

"A divine treasure for nurturing the fetus?"

Sky Feather Immortal's gaze flickered slightly, and he exchanged a look with Violet Flame Immortal Maiden. Dive deeper into the Dao at http://www . audio-novel.com.

After a moment of contemplation, he set down the feathered fan in his hand and spoke with a grave tone, "When my wife was carrying Melody [the name 'Miaoyin' means 'wonderful sound' or 'melody'] in her womb all those years ago, I indeed encountered a significant opportunity and obtained a pair of rare and precious divine objects for nurturing the fetus."

"Oh?"

Eldrin Chen's expression shifted slightly, and he could not help but ask with delight, "May I ask, Fellow Daoist, what divine objects were they?"

"The Soul-Enlightening Pearl [a mystical pearl said to awaken and enhance the spiritual senses of an unborn child]."

Sky Feather Immortal spoke and, with a flick of his sleeve, produced a profound and darkly lustrous treasure pearl.

Gazing at the Soul-Enlightening Pearl before him, Sky Feather Immortal said with considerable gravity, "This Soul-Enlightening Pearl is a rare treasure I obtained by chance. It can open the eye apertures of an Immortal Infant [a child born with exceptional spiritual potential], transforming them to birth a pair of divine pupils."

"I obtained a pair back then. I used one on Melody, and by immense fortune, it allowed her to awaken the Dual Pupils [a legendary physical constitution where each eye possesses two pupils, granting extraordinary perception]."

"This remaining one has not yet been used and can indeed be sold."

Eldrin Chen listened quietly, quickly understanding Sky Feather Immortal's intention.

This Sky Feather Immortal and Violet Flame Immortal Maiden had become cultivation partners, and more than one hundred thousand years had passed since then. Together, they had borne two sons and one daughter.

Among them, the eldest son proved unworthy, having long since passed away in seated meditation many years ago. The second son's cultivation had already reached the Half-Immortal Realm [a realm just one step below true immortality], and his lifespan had now exceeded eighty thousand years, yet he too was unable to achieve Ascending to Immortality [the final transcendence to become a true immortal].

Faced with the prospect of enduring the pain of losing a child once more, the couple, after profound reflection, expended a tremendous price to procure this pair of Soul-Enlightening Pearl [a rare treasure said to awaken and enhance one's spiritual potential] for Melody Lu.

Now that Melody Lu had awakened her Dual Pupils [a legendary innate physique granting profound spiritual perception], as long as she cultivated step by step, her eventual Ascending to Immortality [the final transcendence to become a true immortal] was virtually assured.

Therefore, the husband and wife had let go of their previous obsession and decided not to conceive another child, rendering the remaining Soul-Enlightening Pearl [a rare treasure said to awaken and enhance one's spiritual potential] useless to them.

Speaking to this point, Sky Feather Immortal mused, "I have heard that Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a cultivator of similar standing] reaped no small harvest within the Earth Immortal Ruins [the ancient ruins left behind by an Earth Immortal], so your resources must be quite substantial."

"However, this Soul-Enlightening Pearl [a rare treasure said to awaken and enhance one's spiritual potential] is exceedingly precious. I wonder if Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a cultivator of similar standing] is willing to offer a suitable price."

To this, Eldrin Chen had long been prepared. With a faint smile, he retrieved a Jade Box [a container carved from spiritual jade, often used to store precious items] from his sleeve and offered it, saying, "I wonder if this item can be exchanged for the Soul-Enlightening Pearl [a rare treasure said to awaken and enhance one's spiritual potential]."

"Oh?"

Sky Feather Immortal opened it for a look, and his eyes instantly contracted.

He drew a deep breath, about to speak, but found Violet Flame Immortal Maiden firmly gripping his hand, her gaze filled with a look of eager anticipation.

It turned out that the object within the box was precisely the Longevity Pill [a legendary elixir capable of granting immortality to mortals].

The Longevity Pill [a legendary elixir capable of granting immortality to mortals] was of extraordinary value, a crucial and desperately needed item for any Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] with mortal kin they wished to preserve.

The second son of Violet Flame Immortal Maiden and himself had surpassed fifty thousand years of age. Having already exhausted numerous life-extending methods, he could scarcely hold on any longer.

If he could obtain the Longevity Pill [a legendary elixir capable of granting immortality to mortals], though his path of cultivation would be forever closed, he could at least steal the Dao Fruit [the ultimate achievement of immortality] of eternal life. This was his sole remaining hope.

Violet Flame Immortal Maiden, her heart aching for her son, naturally had no wish to let this Longevity Pill [a legendary elixir capable of granting immortality to mortals] slip through her fingers.

Witnessing this, Sky Feather Immortal could not help but smile wryly and say, "It seems Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a fellow cultivator] has long since discerned this old man's needs. The item you seek is one I cannot refuse." This novel is serialized on audi novel.com. Visit for updates.

"Since that is the case, let us make the exchange."

"My thanks!"

Eldrin Chen offered a grateful smile, his heart content as he received the Soul-Enlightening Pearl [a mystical pearl said to illuminate and purify the soul] from Sky Feather Immortal in exchange.

With the treasure secured, Eldrin Chen stored it away with satisfaction before inquiring further, "I have heard that in recent years, Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a fellow cultivator] expended considerable effort seeking divine materials for nurturing the womb. Presumably, you possess knowledge of such rare items."

"At present, I am in urgent need of such a treasure. I beseech you, Fellow Daoist, to offer some guidance."

"Oh?"

Sky Feather Daoist's gaze flickered with surprise. After a moment of contemplation, he smiled and said, "There are indeed a few leads. You may listen to them for now."

Sky Feather Immortal began to recount them in detail. He raised two fingers and declared, "Within the surrounding seas, I know of two divine objects."

"The first is the Heavenly Dragon Relic."

"The second is the Vast Sea Divine Jade."

As Sky Feather Immortal elaborated, Eldrin Chen gradually came to understand the origins of the two treasures.

The Heavenly Dragon Relic was said to be a miraculous relic, a sacred Sarīra [a crystalline or pearl-like substance said to be found among the cremation ashes of Buddhist spiritual masters] formed from the remains of a Buddha upon his final nirvana.

Its origin was profoundly mystical. Legend held that long ago, within the Celestial Demon Sea, a True Dragon [a primordial dragon of immense power and purity] took refuge in the Empty Enlightenment Temple, transforming into a Vajra Guardian of the Buddhist Path [a powerful, indestructible protector deity in the Buddhist pantheon].

That True Dragon Buddha possessed extraordinary talent, with astonishing comprehension and spiritual roots. After his transformation, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm in an exceedingly short span of time.

The True Dragon race is notoriously domineering; how could they tolerate a True Dragon with such a Mythical Immortal Seed [a constitution of legendary potential] converting to the Buddhist faith?

Approximately several hundred thousand years ago, an Earth Immortal Realm True Dragon Ancient Ancestor exerted immense pressure, demanding the Empty Enlightenment Temple release their True Dragon disciple.

Unable to withstand the pressure, the Empty Enlightenment Temple had no choice but to let the True Dragon depart.

Yet, to everyone's surprise, that True Dragon had become utterly devoted to the Buddhist Dharma. At the moment of parting, unwilling to betray the faith, he took his own life just outside the gates of the Empty Enlightenment Temple.

Upon the death of that True Dragon Buddha, his physical form dissolved, returning to the heavens, while his Dragon Bone transformed into a single Heavenly Dragon Relic [a sacred relic formed from a dragon's essence].

Witnessing the True Dragon's resolute final act, the Dragon Race Earth Immortal was filled with deep remorse for his own actions. In the end, he left the sacred relic within the confines of the Heavenly Dragon Temple.

Recounting this, Sky Feather Immortal said with a bitter smile, "That Heavenly Dragon Relic is a treasure of the highest order. If used as nourishment for a fetal foundation, it would undoubtedly forge a constitution of unparalleled talent."

"Alas, feeling they had wronged that Buddhist Celestial Dragon, the Empty Enlightenment Temple refuses to part with it. I have sought it thrice, only to be driven down the mountain each time."

"Oh?"

Eldrin Chen's eyes flickered with interest, and he asked curiously, "If they are unwilling to sell it, why even mention this object to me?"

"They are unwilling to sell it, yet they are willing to bestow it as a gift."

Sky Feather Immortal spoke, his tone laced with a bitter smile: "The Buddhist teachings speak of karma [the spiritual principle of cause and effect], of causality and the inscrutable workings of destiny."

"They owe a karmic debt to Heavenly Dragon Buddha, and thus refuse to sell it."

"However, should anyone be able to stir the resonance of the Heavenly Dragon Relic, proving themselves to be its fated master by destiny's design, they may naturally claim the Heavenly Dragon Relic."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen finally understood the helplessness of Sky Feather Immortal.

Sky Feather Immortal had no karmic connection with the Heavenly Dragon Relic, nor did his child, thus they could not take the Heavenly Dragon Relic. Visit audio‑novel.com to enjoy the complete series.
