Chapter 1027 The Kai Tian Treasure
As the host of the Exchange Assembly, Immortal Qing Shu offered some courteous remarks before flicking his sleeve and releasing several treasures.
Everyone merely glanced at it, yet their gazes subtly sharpened. Many could not help but reveal looks of astonishment.
Qingshu Daoist produced 3 treasures: a crimson blood jade, a gilded precious vase, and a transcendent pill wreathed in cloud patterns.
Crimson Sun Blood Jade, Violet-Gold Purifying Vase, Heaven-Piercing Elixir.
The moment he laid eyes on the treasures, a faint glimmer stirred in the Void-Refining Immortal's eyes as he recognized the origins of several artifacts.
Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) felt a subtle twitch between his brows.
Hundreds of years had passed since my ascension to the immortal realm. Though my knowledge remained shallow compared to immortals who had lived for millions of years, I was not entirely ignorant.
At this moment, when the Void-Refining Immortal mentioned the names of the artifacts, Eldrin swiftly grasped their origins.
Among the treasures before him, the Crimson Sunset Jade was a unique product of the Sunset Paradise, and its origin was truly astonishing.
Legend has it that during the last kalpic cataclysm, the innate deity 'Canyang Tianshen' failed to transcend his heavenly tribulation and achieved nirvana within the Canyang Sea Region.
After the fallen Solaris God perished, his physical body transformed into the Solaris Blessed Land, while his primordial spirit merged with the laws of nature, becoming the eternal sunset upon the horizon.
His blood also seeped into the Crimson Sunset Ancient Land, forming an astonishingly valuable mineral vein.
This vein was the Crimson Sunset Blood Jade deposit, and the Crimson Sunset Blood Jade nurtured within was of astonishing value, offering considerable utility even to Earth Immortal Patriarchs.
If a demon immortal or deity could obtain 1, refining it would significantly enhance their innate aptitude and increase their chances of breaking through to the Earth Immortal realm by half a tenth.
And if it falls into the hands of a human immortal, it can serve as the primary ingredient for refining top-grade immortal elixirs, or be forged into superior immortal treasures. Truly, its applications are limitless.
In addition to the Crimson Sunset Blood Jade, the Violet Gold Purifying Vase was a top-grade immortal treasure, while the Reaching Heaven Elixir could assist immortals in breaking through to the Reaching Heaven Realm, increasing their chances of advancing to the late Immortal Ascension Stage by 30 percent.
These 3 treasures immediately stirred the hearts of all the immortals present.
Esteemed guests.
Seeing that everyone was visibly tempted, a subtle gleam flickered in Immortal Qingshu’s eyes as he smiled and said, “I trust you all understand the value of these 3 treasures of mine.”
"To be perfectly frank, these 3 treasures are exceptionally rare. Even within our Setting Sun Blessed Land, they are among the handful of most prized possessions."
"Thus, bringing it out this time is for the purpose of exchanging it for 2 rare treasures."
Hearing this, everyone’s gaze momentarily froze.
The 6-Celestial Immortal stroked his long beard and spoke after a moment of contemplation, "Might I inquire what manner of treasure you seek to exchange, Fellow Daoist?"
"An artifact that can be used to forge the Great Earth Disk, the 4 Extremities Divine Pillars, or even the World-Suppressing Bell."
Upon hearing this, the immortals present all exchanged grave expressions and shook their heads in unison.
Qian Xuande gave a bitter shake of his head before speaking. "Fellow Daoist must be jesting. Such treasures are incomparably precious. Even if we possessed them, why would we ever reveal them so lightly?"
It turned out that the treasure mentioned by Immortal Qing Shu was the supreme divine artifact used by the Earth Immortal to cleave the heavens and vanquish all foes.
To ascend beyond the pinnacle of immortality and break through to the Earth Immortal realm, a cultivator requires not only profound cultivation and accumulated foundation, but most crucially, 3 Heaven-Cleaving Treasures.
These 3 Heaven-Sundering Treasures were respectively the Heaven-Bearing (Magic Treasure), 4 Pillars (Magic Treasure), and World-Anchor (Magic Treasure).
To bear the heavens is to wield a treasure that suppresses and balances the earth, while the 4 Extremities represent the 4 celestial pillars—divine artifacts pivotal to upholding the very fabric of sky and land.
The final World-Anchoring Treasure was an artifact that suppressed the very firmament. This treasure could draw upon primordial chaos energy, transforming it into spiritual qi that circulated throughout the Earth Immortal Realm, serving as the foundational pillar of its existence.
These 3 treasures of the 4 poles of heaven and earth were crucial to the creation of the world. Without the Heaven-Bearing Treasure, the earth would lose its solidity, and the very balance between heaven and earth would be disrupted.
Without the 4 Extremes Pillars, the very firmament would collapse, and the Earth Immortal Realm would crumble in an instant.
Without the treasure that stabilizes the realm, the flow of spiritual energy would cease to circulate, ultimately transforming the land into a lifeless wasteland.
To break through the Earth Immortal realm, an Earth Immortal must gather all 3 Heaven-Opening Treasures. Otherwise, even if they succeed in splitting chaos to create a new world, the newly formed realm would ultimately collapse back into primordial chaos.
Thus, these 3 Heaven-Opening Treasures are absolutely crucial. However, the Immortal World of Earthly Immortals is far heavier and more astonishing than an entire Great Chiliocosm. Ordinary treasures simply cannot serve as Heaven-Opening Treasures.
According to the legends passed down in the immortal realms, among the 3 Primordial Treasures, crafting a fourth-level Heavenly Pillar required felling at least 4 superior-grade Post-Heavenly Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root).
Now, how precious is a Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root)? Such a treasure is hailed as an immortal foundation, capable of serving as the ultimate heirloom of an immortal clan. It is a treasure countless immortals dream of obtaining, let alone a top-grade immortal foundation.
Even within an Earth Immortal force like the Crimson Sun Blessed Land, a superior immortal root remained an exceedingly rare occurrence.
Beyond these, Boundary-Steadying Treasures and Heaven-Bearing Treasures are even more precious. Only those that reach at least the grade of a top-grade Postnatal Spiritual Treasure can barely qualify as Heaven-Opening Treasures.
3 Treasures of Creation.
Eldrin (Person Name) listened quietly to Qian Xuande's account, the space between his brows growing increasingly radiant.
The Heaven-Earth Treasures that balance the cosmos, the 4 Extremes Pillars that uphold the celestial domains, and the Realm-Anchoring Treasures governing the circulation of primordial qi.
He had cultivated to this day, yet it was his first encounter with the Primordial Tri-Treasures. In that moment, the path ahead seemed to suddenly clear, revealing the direction for his future cultivation.
Qian Xuande observed his expression and continued with a gentle smile, "Few treasures can serve as Heaven-Opening Artifacts, yet directly purchasing 1 is an inferior approach."
"Legend has it the best method is to acquire rare treasures and elevate 1's Natal Immortal Artifact to the rank of Supreme Artifact."
By using 1's Lifebound Immortal Artifact as a World-Creation Treasure, then fusing it with the Primordial Qi born at the moment of world creation, 1 may elevate their Lifebound Immortal Artifact to the Earth Immortal realm.
"This is also an Earth Immortal Artifact, which is why it is hailed as the Heaven-Opening Immortal Treasure."
"So that's how it is."
Hearing Qian Xuande’s words, Eldrin felt as if a veil had been lifted from his mind, his eyes subtly brightening.
When the time came for him to break through to the Earth Immortal realm, he would suppress the earth with the Mysterious Water Blue Lotus Throne and the Loess Sovereign Emperor Bell, while using the Celestial Li Twin Swords to uphold the 4 poles.
With the Yin Yang Void Mirror serving as the World-Anchoring Treasure, his Earthly Immortal Realm would undoubtedly be incomparably stable.
Nurtured and elevated by the Primordial Chaos Qi, a Heaven-Initiating Treasure gathers the might of an entire realm, destined to wield earth-shattering, terrifying power.
"No wonder it's often rumored that with the might of a Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Artifact, 1 could effortlessly cleave apart a Great Chiliocosm."
It turned out that the Primordial Heaven-opening Treasure was itself supported by an Earthly Immortal Realm vaster than the Great Chiliocosm.
Each strike of the World-Creating Celestial Treasure concentrates the power of an entire world, inevitably possessing the terrifying might to reshape heaven and earth and shatter the starry skies.
Eldrin murmured softly, gradually suppressing the thoughts in his heart.
His gaze fell upon Immortal Qingshu on the platform, then he murmured pensively, "The Setting Sun Blessed Land seeks to purchase artifacts capable of forging Heaven-Creation Treasures. Could it be they intend to produce another Earth Immortal?"
Chapter 1 The biting cold wind swept across the mountain peaks, carrying with it the scent of frost and decay. Lin Feng tightened his ragged robes, his breath forming pale clouds in the frigid air. Before him stood the dilapidated wooden door of the outer sect's assignment hall, its surface scarred with countless marks left by time and desperate cultivators. "Another day, another struggle for survival," he murmured, pushing the door open. The hall buzzed with activity, dozens of outer sect disciples crowding around the mission board. Lin Feng's eyes scanned the available tasks, his heart sinking with each line he read. "Hunting Grade-2 demon beasts? Too dangerous." "Gathering rare herbs from the Poison Mist Valley? I'd need at least Qi Refinement Stage 4 for that." "Escorting merchant caravans? The pay isn't enough for the risks involved." His gaze finally settled on a simple assignment: "Mine 1,000 spirit stones from the abandoned western vein. Reward: 50 spirit stones." "50 spirit stones..." Lin Feng calculated silently. It would be enough to buy 3 portions of Qi Gathering Powder, perhaps helping him break through to the third layer of Qi Refinement that had eluded him for months. "Still picking through the scraps, Lin Feng?" a mocking voice sounded behind him. Lin Feng didn't need to turn to recognize the speaker - Zhang Hu, a fellow outer sect disciple who had reached the fourth layer of Qi Refinement half a year ago. "Some of us have to make do with what we can handle," Lin Feng replied calmly, though his knuckles turned white where they gripped the mission token. Zhang Hu laughed, the sound echoing through the hall. "You've been stuck at the second layer for what, 2 years now? Maybe you should consider returning to the mortal world. At least there you wouldn't have to worry about demon beasts tearing you apart." Several disciples nearby chuckled, their eyes filled with either pity or contempt. Lin Feng ignored them, striding toward the mission registrar. He presented his token and received the mining tools - a simple pickaxe enhanced with the most basic of strengthening arrays. "The western vein has been unstable lately," the old registrar warned, his voice barely above a whisper. "There have been... noises. Come back before sunset, understood?" Lin Feng nodded, though the warning only strengthened his resolve. Danger often meant opportunity in the cultivation world, and he was running out of options. The path to the western vein wound through jagged cliffs and ancient forests. Leafless trees reached toward the gray sky like skeletal fingers, their branches rattling in the wind. Lin Feng moved with practiced caution, his senses alert for any signs of danger. He had been walking for nearly an hour when a faint glow caught his eye from a crevice between 2 boulders. Curiosity overcoming caution, he approached and peered inside. There, nestled among the rocks, lay a palm-sized jade slip covered in intricate patterns that seemed to shift and swirl before his eyes. As he reached for it, a wave of ancient, profound energy washed over him, making the hair on his arms stand on end. "What is this?" he whispered, his heart pounding against his ribs. The jade felt warm against his skin, almost alive. As his fingers closed around it, strange symbols flashed before his vision, and a voice that seemed to come from the depths of time itself echoed in his mind: "The path of cultivation is not to defy heaven, but to understand it. I am the Last Oracle, and you have been chosen." Suddenly, knowledge flooded his consciousness - techniques beyond anything taught in the outer sect, insights into the Dao that masters would kill for, and most astonishing of all, the method to cultivate the legendary Primordial Chaos Codex. Lin Feng stared at the jade in his hand, his previous worries about spirit stones and Qi Gathering Powder suddenly seeming trivial. The world hadn't just opened new doors for him - it had shattered the entire building. A slow smile spread across his face. "It seems the heavens haven't abandoned me after all."
