Chapter 1034 : Masters of the Heavenly Demon Sea

"The Daoist is from Lingering Sun Sea and is the sect master of Verdant Pine Temple, 'Temple Master of Mystery Forbidden'."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen cast a glance at the two individuals.

He had some knowledge of the surrounding seas. To his understanding, the Heavenly Demon Sea bordered the Crimson Dragon Sea and was home to a formidable Heavenly Demon [a powerful demonic being of celestial origin] who had weathered six Tribulation [cosmic trials that test a cultivator's strength and resolve] and possessed cultivation at the mighty Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm [a quasi-immortal realm just below the full Earth Immortal stage].

The fact that Empty Clarity Temple could establish itself within the Heavenly Demon Sea indicated this sect's power was not to be underestimated.

This was indeed the case. Between the two, Temple Master of Mystery Forbidden, as the head of his temple, had a cultivation level of only Ascendant Immortal 7th Tier [the seventh tier of the Ascendant Immortal realm], while True Vigor Arhat had already reached the Ascendant Immortal 8th Tier [the eighth tier of the Ascendant Immortal realm].

"It seems within Empty Clarity Temple, there is at least one powerful Immortal-Buddha [a being who has attained both immortal and enlightened states] who has survived several Tribulation," Eldrin thought to himself.

His mind racing, Eldrin Chen cupped his hands towards the two in a respectful gesture and inquired, "So it is two esteemed masters. My apologies for the earlier lack of courtesy."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Eldrin Chen got straight to the point: "Might I ask, Fellow Daoist Six Stars, for what purpose have you summoned the two of us?"

Upon hearing this, Six Stars Immortal's expression turned solemn. He swept his gaze over the surrounding Immortal [beings who have transcended mortality] and the Spirit Herb Garden [a garden cultivating plants imbued with spiritual energy] before stating, "Within this Blessed Land [a land naturally abundant with spiritual energy], there is a Formation [a mystical array or defensive barrier] laid down by an Earth Immortal Patriarch [a patriarch who has attained the Earth Immortal realm]."

"Furthermore, the Spirit Herb Garden itself contains restrictive enchantments left by that Earth Immortal [an immortal whose power is deeply connected to the earth]. Although many have been deactivated now, gaining entry will still be no simple task." Access the full story on audio_novel.com.

"Moreover, with so many Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality through cultivation] watching covetously, securing a share of the spoils will be no easy task."

He paused briefly, then looked towards Eldrin Chen and said, "That is why I wish to invite you to join forces, to contend together for the various Spiritual Object [objects imbued with spiritual power or significance]."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen's gaze flickered with understanding; he now realized Six Stars Immortal valued his strength and sought an alliance.

With this thought, he exchanged a glance with Void-Refining Immortal before replying, "Since you extend the invitation, Fellow Daoist, I am naturally willing to join hands."

"Excellent."

The three of them smiled faintly, and Six Stars Immortal let out a sigh of relief. "In that case, my mind is at ease."

As they conversed, the number of Immortal gathering before the Spirit Herb Garden [a garden cultivating spiritually potent plants] swelled rapidly, reaching thirty-six in the blink of an eye.

Among them were three figures at the Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier [the ninth and pinnacle tier of the Ascendant Immortal realm]—one Human Race Immortal, Crimson Dragon Child, and a Divine Spirits [a powerful spiritual entity born of heaven and earth].

It was then that the Human Race Immortal at the Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier spoke. "We are gathered enough. With over thirty Immortal joining forces, we possess sufficient strength to breach this Spirit Herb Garden."

Crimson Dragon Child nodded coldly, his expression frosty. "It is time. If we wait any longer, those searching for treasures elsewhere will arrive."

"Then let us begin."

The Divine Spirit at the Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier spoke. With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned an Immortal Treasure [a supreme enchanted artifact wielded by powerful immortals] and hurled it towards the Spirit Herb Garden [a garden cultivating spiritually potent plants].

Crimson Dragon Child and the Human Race Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality through cultivation] did not hesitate either, immediately launching their own attacks upon the ruins.

Witnessing the three supreme Immortal at the Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier take action, none of the others showed the slightest delay. They all summoned their Immortal Treasures and joined the assault.

For a moment, more than thirty Immortals attacked in unison. A myriad of Immortal Path Divine Abilities [miraculous powers born from immortal cultivation] and Immortal Treasures bombarded the Formation [a mystical defensive array or barrier]. The formation shattered after mere moments.

"Charge!"

Seeing the barrier broken, Crimson Dragon Child was the first to rush inside. The rest followed without a moment's hesitation, flying frantically into the heart of the Spirit Herb Garden.

Eldrin Chen flew in with the crowd. He heard Void-Refining Immortal [an immortal title signifying mastery over void principles] warn, "The Formation will restore itself within half a Shichen-time [one Shichen-time equals two hours]. Do not waste time."

"Understood."

Eldrin Chen nodded, his expression grave, and plunged into the depths of the Spirit Herb Garden.

The group stepped into the Spirit Herb Garden together, and were instantly met by a wave of overwhelmingly potent spiritual energy [the vital energy that flows through all living things and the world].

Within this Spirit Herb Garden, the ground was carpeted with precious and exceedingly rare Spirit Herb [plants that absorb and store spiritual energy], and even Immortal Herb [plants of celestial grade, containing immense power] were not an uncommon sight.

Time was of the essence. Eldrin Chen could not afford the luxury of careful harvesting. He could only sweep his Five-Colored Divine Light [a radiant, five-hued divine energy capable of capturing objects] across the garden. In that moment, vast quantities of Spirit Herb and Immortal Herb were swept away, leaving behind a desolate and empty Spirit Herb Garden.

Yet, he refrained from committing an act of total depletion. As he harvested the Spirit Herb, he also shook loose a great number of seeds, scattering them across the barren soil of the Spirit Herb Garden.

Thus, after another several hundred thousand or even a million years, this Spirit Herb Garden would once again flourish as it did now.

But to return to the main thread. This content originates from audio-novel-dot-com. Please respect copyright.

This Spirit Herb Garden had gone unharvested for hundreds of millennia, allowing the Spirit Herb and Immortal Herb within to grow in extraordinary abundance.

The combined strength of their group was formidable, their Force Extreme [a state of power at the pinnacle of a realm] making it impossible for one or two ordinary Immortal [beings who have ascended to a celestial state of existence] to contend with them for the spoils.

Eldrin Chen had spent only a brief moment within, yet he had already gathered seven or eight Immortal Herb, and the sub-immortal grade Spirit Herb he collected were beyond counting.

Six Stars Immortal and the others also reaped tremendous harvests; it appeared each of them had secured at least several precious Immortal Herb.

Such a bountiful harvest filled everyone with immense joy. The Six Stars Immortal gazed towards the depths of the Spirit Herb Garden and said, "Ahead lies the core area of the Spirit Herb Garden, where the Immortal Energy [the purest and most potent form of spiritual energy] is most abundant. It is most likely the place where the Crimson Sun Blessed Land cultivates its Immortal Herb [plants of immense spiritual potency, often requiring millennia to mature]."

"A place for cultivating Immortal Herb?"

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen felt both stirred and solemn.

The core area, dedicated to nurturing Immortal Herb, could rightfully be called an Immortal Herb Garden.

They had merely scavenged a portion from the periphery of the Spirit Herb Garden and already obtained dozens of priceless Immortal Herb. If they ventured into the true Immortal Herb Garden, wouldn't their gains be even more staggering?

Yet, the Immortal Herb Garden was clearly a prize coveted by all the Immortal [beings who have transcended mortality through cultivation] present. Figures like the Crimson Dragon Child and several other Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier [cultivators at the ninth and highest tier of the Ascendant Immortal realm] had already charged into its depths.

With their current strength, attempting to step into the inner circle to claim a share would likely precipitate an exceptionally perilous battle.

However, treasures stir the hearts of men. With their alliance of five Immortal, even a ninth-tier Ascendant Immortal Realm expert might not be their match. Thus, there was truly no reason to hold back.

The Six Stars Immortal exchanged a glance with the others, then took the lead, soaring inward.

The group followed closely behind, flying together into the very heart of the Spirit Herb Garden.

Eldrin Chen followed the group as they stepped forward, but his expression shifted slightly the moment they arrived before the Immortal Herb Garden [a garden cultivating rare spiritual plants].

Before the Immortal Herb Garden stood a figure of immense power, relentlessly attacking and forcing several Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality through cultivation] into a steady retreat.

It was an enormous serpent, its body forged from azure-gold metal, radiating astonishing might.

Even Crimson Dragon Child and the other two Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier [the ninth and highest tier of the Ascendant Immortal realm] joining forces could not subdue it for the moment.

"This is..."

Eldrin Chen's face changed, a note of surprise in his voice.

Seeing this, Six Stars Immortal explained with grave seriousness, "This is the Heaven-Mimicking Python [a powerful construct designed to mimic celestial power], likely an Immortal Treasure [a treasure of immense power used by Immortals] puppet left within the Formation [a structured arrangement of energy for defense, attack, or other purposes] by the ancient masters of the Crimson Sun Blessed Land."

"Drawing power from the Formation, this Heaven-Mimicking Python possesses strength rivaling a peak-level Immortal."

"Its presence here suggests it was left by an Earth Immortal Patriarch [a Patriarch who has attained the Earth Immortal realm] as a final safeguard for this Spirit Herb Garden [a garden cultivating spiritual herbs]."

At that moment, Crimson Dragon Child, seeing the newcomers arrive, said with a gleam in his eye, "Your timing is perfect. Join forces with us to defeat this Heaven-Mimicking Python swiftly. Otherwise, none of us will lay claim to these Immortal Herb [herbs of immense spiritual value used by Immortals]."

Time was of the essence. With only a shared glance exchanged, the group acted in perfect, unspoken unison, unleashing their attacks simultaneously.

With the aid of four late-stage Ascendant Immortal Realm Immortal [powerful beings who have transcended mortality], they finally managed to suppress the Heaven-Mimicking Python [a powerful, serpentine magical artifact].

Seizing the opening, the Human Race Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier cultivator summoned a vast net that ensnared the Heaven-Mimicking Python, then instantly darted into the Immortal Herb Garden [a garden cultivating spiritually potent plants].

"A perfect chance,"

Eldrin Chen thought, his eyes gleaming. In a flash, he transformed into a streak of rainbow light and shot into the garden after them. Experience the full epic at audio–novel.com.
