Chapter 1054 : The Unshakable Glazed Blessed Land
Only at this moment did he finally understand why the Glazed Blessed Land [a sacred realm of profound beauty and power] stood unshakable.
This was not solely due to the formidable strength of Divine Lord Glaze, but also because the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven [a celestial cave-realm of immense power] owed her a debt of favor.
With the patronage of a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme being who has ascended to the highest echelons of immortal power] and strength at least at the Late Stage Earth Immortal [an advanced realm of terrestrial immortality] level, Divine Lord Glaze could traverse the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea [a vast and perilous sea in the western regions] with utter impunity.
Contemplating this, Eldrin Chen drew a deep, silent breath before inquiring, "There must be limitations to refining the Vast Sea Divine Pearl [a divine treasure containing the essence of the boundless sea], I presume."
"You are perceptive."
Divine Lord Glaze gave a slight nod, her expression serene as she spoke. "The Vast Sea Divine Pearl is, after all, an Immortal Treasure Divine Object [a sacred artifact of immortal grade]. If it could be refined without any conditions, it would defy the natural order of heaven and earth."
"For a cultivator with ordinary Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality] lineage, refining a single pearl is sufficient to forge an Immortal Grace [a body blessed with immortal qualities]. Refining three can propel one to cultivate all the way to the Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality [the pinnacle stage of the immortal ascension path]."
"However, to refine more than that depends on one's own Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound and unshakable base of one's cultivation] and latent potential. More crucially, it hinges on whether one shares a destined affinity with it."
Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen nodded in understanding. The Lord of the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven had refined twelve pearls and ascended directly to the Heaven Immortal Realm [the realm of celestial immortals]. If one could refine twenty-four, would that not signify a destiny as a Paragon of the Great Luo Golden Immortal [a supreme fate leading to the apex of golden immortality]?
According to Divine Lord Glaze, for an unborn child to refine a Vast Sea Divine Pearl, the primary prerequisite is compatibility between their innate attributes and the pearl's essence. Experience the full epic at audio–novel.com.
If the unborn child possesses a Fire Spiritual Root [a spiritual root attuned to the element of fire], it would clash with the Vast Sea Divine Pearl [a divine pearl containing the essence of the vast sea]. In such a case, regardless of its latent potential, it could only refine one or two Vast Sea Divine Pearl [divine pearls], and doing so would likely damage its foundational cultivation base.
If the unborn child possesses a Water Spiritual Root [a spiritual root attuned to the element of water], refining the Vast Sea Divine Pearl would be beneficial, allowing it to refine up to three pearls.
Should the fetus possess an exceptionally Deep-Seated Foundation [profound and stable cultivation foundation] and immense innate potential, it could refine six, nine, or even more pearls.
The ultimate number it can refine depends entirely on the fetus's potential and its destined affinity with the treasure.
Generally speaking, refining twelve pearls indicates the makings of a Heaven Immortal [an immortal who has ascended to the heavenly realm], while refining eighteen would place one among the very elite even within the Heaven Immortal Realm.
"In ancient times, the Lord of the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven refined twelve Vast Sea Divine Pearl,"
"Using those twelve pearls as his foundation, he forged a set of Lifebound Supreme Treasure [a supreme treasure bound to one's life and soul] known as the 'Twelve Primordial Hour Pearls'. A single strike from that strand of divine pearls could make even a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme paragon among heavenly immortals] bleed, establishing his formidable power among the Heaven Immortal Realm."
Divine Lord Glaze recounted this tale, her gaze shifting to the unborn child within Nyssa Qu's womb as she said:
"The Vast Sea Divine Pearl is, after all, born from our Immortal Clam Race [a race of immortal clams]. The child within Nyssa carries the bloodline of the Immortal Clam [an immortal clam demon beast], granting it a profound natural affinity with the Vast Sea Divine Pearl. Refining these pearls might yield extraordinary results."
"Moreover, unless my eyes deceive me, this child should possess a Water Spiritual Root."
Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen and Nyssa Qu could not help but feel a surge of excitement in their hearts.
A Heavenly Spiritual Root of the water attribute [a supreme-grade innate talent for cultivating water-element spiritual energy]—in the mortal realm, the path to Ascending to Immortality [attaining the Immortal Realm] would be fraught with immense difficulty. Yet, within the Immortal Realm, with the aid of a Fetal Nurturing Supreme Treasure [a supreme treasure used to nurture an unborn child's foundation and potential], it was no longer a hopeless dead end.
However, Fetal Nurturing Supreme Treasure [a supreme treasure used to nurture an unborn child's foundation and potential] were all rare and precious immortal-grade treasures. Unless one was the child of an Immortal [a being who has ascended to the Immortal Realm] like them, ordinary cultivators had virtually no chance of ever using one.
After all, on the path of immortal cultivation, one's origins were often the most crucial factor. With parents at the Immortal [a being who has ascended to the Immortal Realm] level paving the way, one transcended mortality from the very beginning, starting at the very end of the Path to Immortal Ascension [the arduous journey of cultivation leading to immortality].
A mere mortal had to hack through thorns and brambles, constantly transforming themselves, and only after stepping into the Ninth Layer Nascent Soul [the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul cultivation stage] would they even qualify to stand on equal footing.
Whether one could make that ultimate leap depended on their Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound and unshakable foundation of one's cultivation], their temperament, and their destined fortune.
As parents, the two naturally wished to pave the smoothest possible path for their child.
Thus, Nyssa Qu suppressed the excitement in her heart and could not help but ask, "I wonder, how many Vast Sea Divine Pearl [divine pearls containing the essence of the vast sea] can my child refine?"
"I am not certain either,"
"He possesses the bloodline of an Immortal Clam [a mythical clam demon beast of immortal rank] and the innate talent of a Water Spiritual Root [an affinity for cultivating water-element spiritual energy]. I believe he should be able to refine at least six, perhaps even nine or more."
"As for how much he can ultimately refine, that will depend on his potential and his Creation [the predetermined destiny or fortune of a being]."
Divine Lord Glaze shook her head, pondered for a moment, then looked towards Eldrin Chen and said, "Moreover, the father of this child possesses the makings of a Great Luo [a supreme immortal realm] Immortal. The potential inherited from him is likely not insignificant."
Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen felt a tremor in his heart, realizing that Divine Lord Glaze had long since seen through him.
Yet, upon reflection, this was to be expected. Although he had been concealing his aura since Ascending to Immortality [reaching the foundational immortal realm], he cultivated the Immortal Physique [a perfected immortal body], the Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles of existence], and the Dao Fruit [the fruit of one's cultivation path] simultaneously. Naturally, this set him apart from ordinary individuals.
Divine Lord Glaze's cultivation was at least one major realm higher than his. For her to see through him with a single glance was perfectly reasonable. It would be far more difficult for an Immortal of the same realm to accomplish the same.
The reason Divine Lord Glaze treated him so favorably was likely not solely because of Nyssa Qu. It was probably also due to her recognition of his exceptional talent and potential. Find this and other novels at audio novel.com.
After all, if he were in her position and encountered a junior of such peerless aptitude, barring any enmity, he would likely bestow some benefit to foster goodwill.
If there were grievances, or if it were the child of an enemy, then the only course would be to strike first.
This realization, however, heightened Eldrin Chen's vigilance. While Divine Lord Glaze was gentle-natured this time, there was no guarantee that all Immortals were of noble character. If he were to encounter a capricious or malevolent Earth Immortal [an immortal anchored to the earthly realm] who sought to eliminate him, the danger would be immense.
"Husband, which one should we choose?"
Nyssa Qu felt a surge of joy, yet a thread of uncertainty remained. If in the end she could only refine six pearls, she feared it might still fall short of the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart [a legendary innate constitution of supreme purity and spiritual sensitivity].
However, Eldrin Chen grasped Nyssa Qu's hand and spoke with unwavering calm, "Have faith in our child."
"Alright!"
In the end, the two resolved to refine these Vast Sea Divine Pearl [legendary pearls containing the primordial essence of the ocean].
Seeing this, Divine Lord Glaze gave a slight nod of approval; she too leaned towards refining the Vast Sea Divine Pearl.
Once the treasure was decided upon, Divine Lord Glaze summoned thirty-six Vast Sea Divine Pearl and said, "Legend holds that thirty-six pearls represent the absolute limit for refining this treasure."
"Alas, throughout all the ages, not even the sons of Great Luo Golden Immortal [the supreme realm of immortal cultivation] have achieved this feat. Most could only refine eighteen. The tale of one who refined twenty-four stands alone in history."
"Today, we shall attempt it. Do not be disheartened if many remain unused. Refining twelve would be a heaven-sent surprise."
As they spoke, the group departed the Treasure Vault and escorted Nyssa Qu to a secluded Cultivation Cave [a chamber for deep meditation and cultivation].
Divine Lord Glaze wished to personally assist Nyssa Qu with the refinement, but Eldrin Chen shook his head and said, "I possess a Pill Formula known as the Innate Divine Embryo Pill [a supreme elixir for nurturing an innate divine foundation within an unborn child]."
"By refining this Innate Divine Embryo Pill with the Vast Sea Divine Pearl, we might slightly reduce the difficulty of assimilating the Vast Sea Divine Pearl."
"Oh?"
Divine Lord Glaze's gaze flickered slightly, yet she nodded. "I have heard of that Innate Divine Embryo Pill. It is indeed considered a superior Pill Formula [a recipe for crafting a specific type of spiritual pill]."
"If refined, it may truly add a minor benefit. I shall entrust its crafting to you."
With those words, Divine Lord Glaze handed the thirty-six Vast Sea Divine Pearl to Eldrin Chen.
Taking the Vast Sea Divine Pearl, Eldrin Chen immediately entered seclusion to refine the Innate Divine Embryo Pill.
The method for refining this Innate Divine Embryo Pill varies greatly depending on the primary spiritual ingredient used.
Once the Vast Sea Divine Pearl is assimilated by the fetus, it will exist as a congenital supreme treasure. Therefore, it naturally cannot be transformed into a mere Pill [a spiritual pill used for cultivation].
Using the Vast Sea Divine Pearl as the primary ingredient involves gathering numerous Spirit Medicine [spiritually potent herbs] and refining their essence into the pearl itself, enhancing its Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound, innate potential and stability of one's cultivation base] and its wondrous properties.
Eldrin Chen had prepared a considerable amount of Spirit Medicine for this journey. Furthermore, the wealth within the Glazed Blessed Land [the Glazed Abode of Bliss, a blessed realm of cultivation] was astonishing. It required little effort to gather all the supplementary ingredients.
Eldrin Chen stepped into the Alchemy Chamber and immediately began the Alchemy process, refining various Spirit Medicine into the Vast Sea Divine Pearl to enhance the treasure's latent potential.
Just as the first Vast Sea Divine Pearl was nearing completion, Eldrin Chen's gaze sharpened. After confirming no one was spying, he slowly exhaled a wisp of Primordial Essence [the most fundamental and purest form of spiritual energy, the source of all creation]. Enjoyed this chapter?
