Chapter 1051 : The Glazed Palace's Divine Revelation

The identity of the visitor took Eldrin Chen utterly by surprise.

The Lord of the Glazed Abode of Bliss before them had actually taken human form from a Seven-Colored Immortal Clam [a mythical clam of immense spiritual power], possessing a natural aptitude nearly identical to that of Nyssa Qu.

The Glazed Palace Master possessed a graceful and slender figure. Clad in resplendent robes, her features held an air of immense authority.

What Eldrin Chen did not know was that even as he was taken aback, the Glazed Palace Master's own heart was surging with profound excitement.

"It truly is..."

The Lord of the Glazed Abode of Bliss's gaze fixed upon Nyssa Qu, and after a moment of careful scrutiny, a faint smile touched her lips.

A moment later, she collected herself. Her eyes swept over Nyssa Qu's abdomen before she inquired, "What is your name?"

Nyssa Qu glanced at Eldrin Chen before offering a respectful bow. "This humble one is Nyssa Qu, paying my respects to the Divine Lord [a title for a powerful deity or immortal]."

"There is no need for such formality."

The Lord of the Glazed Abode of Bliss offered a slight smile, shaking her head with serene composure. Continue your cultivation journey at AUDIO-NOVEL.COM.

The position of Divine Lord [a high-ranking divine title within the Celestial Court] is one of considerable prestige. Generally speaking, only a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme immortal who has ascended to the highest echelons of the Heavenly Immortal realm] is deemed worthy of receiving such an exalted investiture.

However, the Azure Firmament Immortal Court is merely a branch of the true Celestial Court [the supreme heavenly bureaucracy governing the cosmos], existing at a vast and almost immeasurable distance from its celestial heart. Most of its high-ranking officials are local cultivators, so there is naturally little need for excessive deference to such distant formalities.

Within the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain, any cultivator who attains the Earth Immortal [an immortal whose power is anchored to the earth, a formidable realm below the Heavenly Immortal] cultivation base and joins the Celestial Court will be granted the honorable title of Divine Lord.

Those supremely venerated Heavenly Immortal Paragon hold even greater sway within this branch of the Celestial Court. Each is a great general or marshal wielding immense authority, commanding legions of Celestial Soldiers and Generals [the divine armies of the heavens].

Yet, such prestige and power are confined solely to the borders of the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain.

Once one steps beyond the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain, with the exception of a select few Ancient Immortals [immortals of immense age and profound power], all others must effectively demote their celestial rank by one level. The mighty powers across the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the myriad realms and worlds inhabited by immortals] simply do not recognize these branch-court titles.

Lord of the Glazed Abode of Bliss perceived this reality with clarity. She understood that her own Divine Lord title was hollow, a mere formality, and took no pride in it.

With a mere wave of her hand, she gestured for the others to be seated and said, "I am Glaze Qu. You may address me as Patriarch Glaze."

Having said this, she did not wait for their reply. Instead, her gaze shifted to Nyssa Qu as she inquired, "I have heard no news of you. I presume you are not from the surrounding seas?"

"This humble one…"

Nyssa Qu hesitated slightly, her gaze turning towards Eldrin Chen.

Eldrin Chen understood that the news of myself ascension would become known to the other party with a little inquiry, so there was no need for concealment. He spoke directly, "My wife and I have only recently ascended to the Immortal Domain [the higher realm of immortals]."

"Is that truly so?"

Upon hearing this, Glaze Qu's expression towards Eldrin Chen softened somewhat. "To bring your family with you in ascension shows you possess both sentiment and righteousness."

Eldrin Chen held Nyssa Qu's hand, a faint smile gracing his lips. "How could I abandon the one who has shared my bed and board for millennia, to ascend alone?"

Divine Lord Glaze nodded at these words, then looked at Nyssa Qu and said, "It is fortunate you brought her with you in your ascension, rather than leaving her to ascend from the lower realm. There is still a chance for her foundation to be perfected."

"What does Your Lordship mean by that?"

Eldrin Chen was momentarily taken aback and asked urgently.

Instead of answering immediately, Divine Lord Glaze allowed the Moon Consort at her side to speak. "Most of our Spirit Clam Tribe [a race of spiritual clam beings] possess ordinary, even inferior, innate talent, far less smooth in their Dao path compared to the Human Race."

"Yet among the myriad Spirit Clam [spiritual clam beings], there exist rare mutated strains, and even those with foundations not inferior to the True Dragon [the supreme dragon race]—the Mythical Immortal Seed [a legendary constitution with the potential for immortality]."

"Among these Spirit Clam [a type of spiritual mollusk] variants, four possess the most formidable innate talent: the Dawn Sun Clam [a spirit clam that absorbs solar essence], the Moon Goddess Clam [a spirit clam that absorbs lunar essence], the Starry Clam [a spirit clam that absorbs stellar essence], and the Seven-Colored Immortal Clam [a spirit clam of mythical rarity]."

As Stella recounted the tale, Eldrin Chen gradually came to understand the mysteries of the Spirit Clam Tribe [an immortal race descended from spiritual clams].

Most of the Spirit Clam Tribe have limited potential, shackled by their bloodline and unable to achieve Ascending to Immortality [the realm of becoming an immortal]. It is said that only these four types of Spirit Clam can accomplish this feat.

The Seven-Colored Immortal Clam can achieve Ascending to Immortality because it is itself a rare Mythical Immortal Seed [a constitution with boundless potential for immortality], possessing limitless possibilities.

The Dawn Sun Clam, Moon Goddess Clam, and Starry Clam are slightly weaker, but they can absorb the power of the sun, moon, and Stellar Power [the energy of the stars], continuously refining and evolving their bloodline, transforming from a mere Spirit Clam into an immortal clam capable of Ascending to Immortality.

If one possesses a Dao [the fundamental principle or path] imbued with solar or lunar power, or a treasure heavy with Stellar Power, there might even be a possibility of breaking through to the Earth Immortal [an immortal bound to the earthly realm] or even the Heaven Immortal [a celestial immortal] realm.

The four peerless immortal ladies before him were precisely the human forms taken by these four powerful Spirit Clam.

The Grand Elder, Solara, was born from a Dawn Sun Clam. Her bloodline has continuously evolved from its original foundation, and her cultivation has already reached the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm [a realm just shy of becoming an Earth Immortal].

The Second Elder, Stella, was born from a Moon Goddess Clam. Her cultivation has reached the Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality [the pinnacle of the Ascending to Immortality realm], making her a supreme Heaven's Chosen [one favored by heaven with exceptional talent] with the potential to break through to Earth Immortal.

The Third Elder, Glaze, was born from a Starry Clam. Her cultivation level is nearly on par with Stella's, and her mastery of Stellar Power is considered among the very best in this entire sea region.

As for Divine Lord Glaze, she was the human form manifested by the Seven-Colored Immortal Clam [a mythical clam of immense spiritual power], her cultivation having reached the lofty Earth Immortal Realm [a realm of immortality tied to the mortal world]. As for which specific layer within the Earth Immortal realm she occupied, it was beyond Eldrin Chen's current perception to discern.

However, she had cultivated within the Earth Immortal Realm for tens of millions of years. Legend spoke of her as a Three Tribulations Earth Immortal [an Earth Immortal who has survived three heavenly tribulations], suggesting her strength was at least that of a Late Stage Earth Immortal.

After Stella finished speaking, Divine Lord Glaze finally opened her mouth to speak. "The Seven-Colored Immortal Clam is the supreme immortal seed of the Spirit Clam Tribe [a race of spiritually potent clams]. Yet, it is not necessarily the pinnacle; there may exist even mightier Immortal Clam [clams that have attained immortality] above it."

"An Immortal Clam mightier than the Seven-Colored Immortal Clam?"

Eldrin Chen's expression shifted with profound gravity, an unmistakable look of astonishment flashing across his features.

Divine Lord Glaze gave a slight nod. She sealed the surrounding void with her Law Power [power derived from comprehending a fundamental law of the universe], then spoke with utmost solemnity. "Several million years ago, our lineage of the Seven-Colored Immortal Clam once produced a peerless immortal maiden."

"She was born from the transformation of a Seven-Colored Immortal Clam, and later encountered a heaven-defying opportunity, meeting a noble person of extraordinary fate."

"That noble one, who possessed the bearing of a Dao Ancestor Immortal Sage [a legendary sage who has comprehended the fundamental Dao], presented an incredibly precious Primordial Qi of Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang [the primordial energy embodying the foundational forces of creation, Yin and Yang]. This caused her own foundational essence to undergo a metamorphosis, adding two more hues of divine light, transforming her into a Nine-Colored Immortal Clam [an Immortal Clam of nine colors, a legendary evolution]."

"A Nine-Colored Immortal Clam?"

Eldrin Chen was utterly astounded, his heart roiling with incomparable shock.

The Primordial Qi of Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang [the foundational essence of creation, born from the union of cosmic opposites] is incomparably precious. This substance only comes into being when a Great Luo Golden Immortal [a supreme immortal who has transcended the limits of the known realms] breaks through, opening up a vast Immortal Domain [a personal realm or world created and governed by an immortal].

When a Great Luo Golden Immortal carves out an Immortal Domain within the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation], the initial moments of that world's birth sequentially experience the 'Five Primal Ultimates' [the five supreme foundational principles of creation], giving birth to five peerless substances, along with numerous priceless Primordial Divine Objects [divine materials born at the dawn of a new world].

Among these divine treasures, the 'Primordial Qi of Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang' is one of the most precious substances, its marvel not inferior to that of the Five Primal Ultimates.

Furthermore, when an ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal breaks through and opens their Immortal Domain, the amount of these innate substances they obtain is itself extremely meager. Combined, it is only enough to elevate one or two Innate Spiritual Treasure [a treasure born from the world's creation, possessing innate divine power]. Who would be willing to part with such treasures for another's use?

Such a treasure, a peerless treasure even for a Great Luo Golden Immortal, if a sufficient quantity could be procured, to create a Nine-Colored Immortal Clam [a mythical clam of nine colors, said to be of heavenly origin]... this outcome, while seemingly beyond expectation, also appears to be within the bounds of reason.

Eldrin Chen's mind was shaken. This was the first time he had heard such a profound secret, and he was momentarily lost in thought.

Divine Lord Glaze also wore an expression of longing and continued, "That Nine-Colored Immortal Clam is unprecedented since ancient times, possessing the supreme innate potential of a Great Luo Golden Immortal."

"In the mere span of several million years of cultivation, its cultivation base broke through to the realm of a Great Luo Golden Immortal." Experience the full epic at audio-novel[dot]com.
