Chapter 1031 Immortal Grade Pure Yang Fruit
As the Void-Refining Immortal narrated in detail, Eldrin (Person Name) revealed a grave expression.
Compared to Eldrin, these 2 were the true heroes of our time, their talents far surpassing those of the Sunset Paradise.
Between the 2, the Azure Firmament Goddess was born from the manifestation of Azure Firmament Divine Thunder. As 1 of the 9 Heavens' Thunder Deities, this innate divine spirit shared the same celestial lineage as the 10 1000 Calamities Thunder God from the primordial Violet Realm.
They were born with mastery over the laws of thunder, making their combat prowess top-tier even among deities.
The Azure Firmament Goddess before them had only been born a mere 3 100 1000 years ago, yet she had already cultivated to the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Ascendant Immortal realm. Her innate divine treasure, the Azure Firmament Thunder Tribulation Mirror, had even reached the rank of a supreme-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure.
And that Azure Luan Fairy was a Postcelestial Xun-Wind Azure Luan, also born of the Postcelestial Xun-Wind Laws. Her strength had already far surpassed the ninth level of the Ascension Realm.
Houtian Xunwind Azure Phoenix.
Upon realizing the immense power of both, Eldrin couldn't help but recall the Li Fire Vermilion Bird he had left behind in the Violet Realm.
After being nourished by the Primordial Purple Qi, the Li Fire Vermilion Bird underwent a fundamental transformation in its origin. Born from the laws of acquired Li Fire, its innate talent and foundation were no less formidable than this Acquired Xun Wind Azure Phoenix.
Noticing Eldrin’s expression, the Void-Refining Immortal added with solemn gravity, “You were able to quell the tribulation of the Violet Realm. In terms of innate talent, you may even surpass those 2.”
"However, these 2 individuals are not only immensely powerful, but their backgrounds are also truly astonishing."
The Void-Refining Immortal spoke with measured gravity, informing him that the Azure Firmament Goddess had become a disciple under a Dao-Calamity Earth Immortal—a master ranked among the most formidable Earth Immortals in the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea.
The Phoenix Perching Sea behind the Fairy Qingluan stood as 1 of the most formidable demonic seas within the Western Mists Divine Abyss Sea.
Phoenix Perch Sea, the Land of Dao Calamity Earth Immortal…
Eldrin (Person Name) pondered briefly, his countenance remaining as tranquil as still water.
He lifted his head, gazing at the Crimson Sun Sea before him, and declared, "The time has come."
"Bzzz—"
At that very moment, a low hum emanated from the depths of the Crimson Sun Sea as a fissure emerged from the void.
Through the fissure, what met the gaze was a boundless and vast world. With but a single glance, Eldrin faintly perceived an immense, ancient path stretching beyond the horizon.
"To have glimpsed but a corner, and yet it dwarfs even the Violet Realm—is this the world of Earth Immortals?"
Thoughts flashed through Eldrin’s mind, and in the void, the eyes of immortal after immortal snapped open.
In the blink of an eye, the long-awaited immortals swarmed in, instantly flooding into the Earthly Immortal Realm.
The Void-Refining Immortal and Eldrin (Person Name), being of relatively lower cultivation levels, did not rush into the fray. They only set forth after nearly all the others had departed.
"Be careful, you must stay right behind me."
Before stepping into the world of Earth Immortals, the Void Refining Immortal spoke with considerable gravity.
Eldrin nodded, then followed the Void-Refining Immortal through the rift in the void. In the span of a single step, it felt as though epochs had drifted by and realms had shifted, transporting them to an entirely different world.
This was a world of extreme heat, where scorching flames stretched endlessly across the undulating mountains and rivers.
And high in the heavens, a crimson sun hung suspended, radiating boundless light and heat,
The Earth Immortal of the Crimson Sun Blessed Land primarily cultivated the divine fire of 'Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root)' within the Law of Flames.
In this earthly immortal realm, the "Crimson Sun Divine Flame" also reigns supreme, hence it is known as the Crimson Sun Divine Flame Realm.
Gazing upon the fiery realm before them, the Void Refining Immortal spoke with measured gravity, his expression turning solemn. "This realm still retains some of the methods once wielded by the ancient Earth Immortals. We must proceed with caution."
Eldrin nodded upon hearing this, and the 2 of them flew deeper into the Earthly Immortal Realm together.
After flying for a short while, Eldrin's gaze flickered slightly before he veered and soared toward 1 side.
Upon seeing this, the Ethereal Void Immortal swiftly followed, soon arriving before a volcanic crater.
"This is..."
When he flew over the volcano crater, a faint pause flickered in the Void-Refining Immortal's eyes.
But within the volcanic crater, the magma boiled and churned, and amidst it grew a cluster of extraordinary crimson fruits.
Pure Sun Fruit
The Void-Refining Immortal murmured, a flicker of delight coloring his expression.
The Pure Sun Fruit was a rare spiritual herb of pure yang essence. When Eldrin (Person Name) was in the Mortal Realm, he used this fruit to refine numerous types of elixirs. It could be said that the value of Pure Sun Fruit was immensely precious to cultivators.
However, it was generally known that the Pure Sun Fruit reached its limit at the sixth rank, making it a rather ordinary treasure in the eyes of immortals.
The reason the Pure Sun Fruit could bring such delight to Void Refinement Immortals was because they were anything but ordinary.
Before him lay a stretch of Pure Sun Fruits, nearly a 100 plants in total. Most were at the Nascent Soul level, yet 3 of them had taken on a hue of pure gold.
The 3 Solarflame Fruits were wreathed in pure yang radiance, with faint traces of immortal energy swirling around them—they had astonishingly ascended to the ranks of immortal-grade treasures.
"It's actually a Celestial-grade Pure Sun Fruit."
The Void-Refining Immortal whispered, his face brimming with boundless joy.
By all reasoning, the Pure Sun Fruits should find it nearly impossible to ascend to immortal grade. Yet nothing in this world is absolute. Within this volcanic crater, where Pure Yang Qi (Spiritual Root) converges, over hundreds of thousands of years, it has nurtured not merely 10 1000, but countless Pure Sun Fruits.
So many Sunfruit had grown continuously over millions of years, remaining untouched until finally 3 of them underwent a miraculous transformation, transcending their inherent limits and evolving into the ranks of immortal-grade treasures.
Once the Pure Sun Fruit ascends to immortal grade, a wisp of Pure Yang Immortal Qi will gestate within it.
This Pure Yang Immortal Qi is a potent tonic even for true immortals, capable of nourishing a cultivator's immortal embryo. When refined into immortal pills, it can even assist immortals in rapidly advancing their cultivation base.
Gazing at the Pure Yang Fruits before him, the Void Refining Immortal said with delight, "Should we succeed in refining these 3 Immortal-grade Pure Yang Fruits into divine pills, you and I might save ourselves tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation."
"Hmm."
Eldrin's face was also filled with delight, but just as he was about to speak, his expression abruptly sharpened.
In that fleeting moment, he swiftly tucked away the Sunfruit with a flick of his sleeve, poised to make his retreat.
Then, 2 crimson streaks of light flashed through the void, blocking their path.
But upon the void above, 2 figures descended. The foremost figure—tall and erect, with flowing flames swirling around his form—stepped forward.
"Originally, it would have taken some effort to track your aura and slay you within the Mortal Realm."
"I never expected you to possess this Pure Yang Fruit. It seems my journey today has not been in vain."
A light chuckle echoed through the void as the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Divine Condor Emperor gazed upon the Immortal Grade Pure Yang Fruit, a flicker of delight appearing in his eyes.
It turned out that the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Divine Eagle Emperor had come tracking Eldrin (Person Name)'s aura, intending to slay Eldrin (Person Name) and thereby reclaim Green Abyss Island.
"Be careful."
Seeing the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Divine Eagle Emperor blocking his path, the Void Refinement Immortal's expression shifted slightly.
With his Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root), the Divine Eagle Emperor had reached the Late Immortal Ascension stage—a level of power far beyond his ability to confront alone. He sensed something extraordinary in Eldrin's (Person Name) methods, and thought that by joining forces with Eldrin (Person Name), they might just stand a chance against such a foe.
The Crimson Flame Roc Emperor had not only come in person, but also brought along the Grand Elder of the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Roc lineage, making him acutely aware that he was no match for them.
His expression turned profoundly grave as he shielded Eldrin, declaring, "I will hold off the Crimson Flame Qi Divine Eagle Emperor. You must flee for your life."
"You cannot escape. In the same realm, who could possibly rival the supreme speed of my Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) lineage—the Divine Condor's legacy?"
Chapter 1 The Azure Cloud Sect's outer gate examination had just concluded. Lin Yan stood silently at the foot of the stone steps, his plain blue robes fluttering gently in the mountain breeze. Though his expression remained calm, a flicker of resolve shone deep within his eyes. "Next candidate, Lin Yan!" The deacon's voice echoed across the square. Lin Yan took a deep breath and stepped forward, placing his palm upon the Testing Spirit Stone. A faint glow emerged—barely visible, like the last embers of a dying fire. "Qi Refinement, second layer." The deacon announced impassively, his tone devoid of surprise. "Failed to qualify." Whispers rippled through the crowd. "Still at the second layer? He's been cultivating for 3 years..." "Truly a waste of spiritual roots." Lin Yan withdrew his hand calmly, as if he hadn't heard the murmurs. He knew better than anyone that his cultivation had stagnated at the second layer of Qi Refinement not due to laziness, but because of the strange seal within his dantian. Just as he turned to leave, a crisp voice called out: "Brother Lin!" A girl in moon-white robes approached, her movements graceful as drifting snow. It was Su Qingxue, the rising star of this year's examination who had awakened seventh-grade water spiritual roots. "The sect has granted me 3 Foundation Establishment Pills." She spoke softly, avoiding his gaze. "I... I thought you might need 1 more than I do." A Foundation Establishment Pill. Its value could reach 50,000 spirit stones on the market—enough to change the fate of any ordinary cultivator. Lin Yan glanced at the delicate porcelain vial in her hand, then at her slightly flushed face. He smiled faintly and shook his head. "Keep it. You'll need it more for your own cultivation." Before Su Qingxue could respond, a sharp laugh interrupted them. "Well, well. If it isn't our famous waste?" A young man in brocade robes approached, flanked by several followers. Zhao Shan, son of the Zhao family elder, had just awakened fifth-grade earth spiritual roots. "Qingxue," Zhao Shan said with exaggerated courtesy, "why waste a Foundation Establishment Pill on someone like him? Even a 1000 such pills wouldn't help someone whose dantian is broken." He turned to Lin Yan, his eyes narrowing. "Know your place. Someone like you doesn't deserve to stand beside Qingxue." Lin Yan met his gaze squarely. "Since Senior Brother Zhao is so talented, why concern yourself with someone like me?" Zhao Shan's expression darkened, but under Su Qingxue's watchful eyes, he merely snorted coldly. "We'll see how long you can keep that arrogance during the upcoming outer gate competition." After Zhao Shan and his group departed, Su Qingxue looked at Lin Yan with concern. "Brother Lin, Zhao Shan has reached the fifth layer of Qi Refinement. You shouldn't provoke him..." "I understand." Lin Yan nodded. "Thank you for your kindness, Junior Sister Su." He turned and walked down the mountain path alone. The sunset stretched his shadow long and thin across the stone steps. Back in his simple wooden hut, Lin Yan sat cross-legged on his meditation mat. Moonlight streamed through the window, illuminating his determined face. He closed his eyes, sensing the strange seal within his dantian—a complex formation that devoured 90 percent of the spiritual energy he gathered. For 3 years, no matter how hard he cultivated, his progress remained negligible. But tonight felt different. As midnight approached, the jade pendant at his chest—his only inheritance from his parents—began to glow with a soft light. The pendant grew warmer until it was almost burning, then suddenly transformed into a stream of light that vanished between his eyebrows. Within his consciousness, ancient characters flickered like stars: 《Heaven Swallowing Art》 This was no ordinary cultivation method, but an ancient technique that could devour heaven and earth, refining all creation into 1's own cultivation. More importantly, it could dissolve any seal! Lin Yan's heart raced as he comprehended the profound mysteries within. According to the manual, the Heaven Swallowing Art could even absorb the power of heavenly tribulations to strengthen oneself. He took a deep breath and began guiding his spiritual energy according to the art's unique pathways. The energy that had been stagnant for years suddenly surged like a raging river. Crack! A faint shattering sound echoed from within his dantian. The seal that had trapped him for 3 years finally showed a hairline fracture. Spiritual energy from heaven and earth began swirling around him, forming a visible vortex above the wooden hut. The amount of spiritual energy he absorbed in 1 night surpassed what he normally gathered in 3 months! When dawn broke, Lin Yan opened his eyes. A sharp light flashed within them—he had broken through to the third layer of Qi Refinement in a single night! But this was only the beginning. The Heaven Swallowing Art had 9 layers, and he had merely grasped the fundamentals of the first. He gazed into the distance where the main peak of Azure Cloud Sect pierced the clouds. The outer gate competition was 1 month away—enough time for him to master the first layer completely. "Zhao Shan... just you wait."
