Chapter 1046. Tianlong Relic

This is the bearing of an ancient sage. Cultivated to its ultimate extent, 1 could open up the heavens with double pupils, with a far greater certainty of breaking through to the Earth Immortal realm than ordinary immortals.

"An earthshaking celestial bearing, with the potential to break through to Earth Immortal and even Heavenly Immortal realms."

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured inwardly, offering this assessment.

Though it was but a sliver of possibility, it was astonishing enough.

Celestial Feather Immortal noticed Eldrin's expression and couldn't help but remark with pride, "This is my daughter, Lu Miaoyin. She just passed her 8 hundredth year, yet she has already reached the Nascent Soul Realm."

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this. An 8-100-year-old Nascent Soul Dao Lord—this Lu Miaoyin truly lived up to her reputation as a peerless celestial beauty.

At this thought, his confidence for this journey grew. Lu Miaoyin was clearly cultivated using the Divine Artifact, so Celestial Feather Immortal must know of its whereabouts.

At this thought, Eldrin didn’t engage in excessive pleasantries. He simply cupped his hands in a salute and said, “To be frank, my wife is currently with child. I have come here to refine a divine substance for nurturing the fetus.”

"Nurturing the Womb Divine Treasure?"

The Heavenly Feather Immortal's gaze flickered slightly, and he instinctively exchanged a look with the Violet Flame Fairy.

After a moment of contemplation, he set down the feathered fan in his hand and spoke with some gravity: "When my wife was pregnant with Miaoyin all those years ago, I was indeed blessed with rare fortune—I obtained a pair of precious divine artifacts for nurturing the fetus."

"Oh?"

A flicker of emotion crossed Eldrin (Person Name)'s face, and he could not help but exclaim with delight, "May I ask, fellow Daoist, what divine object might this be?"

Pearl of the Enlightened Spirit (Magic Treasure)

Elder Tianyu spoke, then with a flick of his sleeve produced a profound and shadowy treasure orb.

Gazing at the Bright Soul Pearl before him, Celestial Feather Immortal spoke with grave solemnity, "This Bright Soul Pearl is a rare treasure I chanced upon, capable of unlocking the ocular apertures of an Immortal Infant, transforming them into a pair of divine pupils."

"Back in the day, I obtained a pair. I gave 1 to Miaoyin to use, and by extremely good fortune, she awakened double pupils with it."

"This last 1 remains unused, so it can be sold off."

Eldrin listened quietly, quickly grasping the thoughts of Celestial Feather Immortal.

It had been over 1 100 1000 years since the Celestial Feather Immortal and the Violet Flame Immortaless became cultivation companions, and together they had brought forth 2 sons and 1 daughter.

The eldest son was a disappointment who had passed away many years prior. The second son had long since reached the Demi-Immortal Realm, yet despite having lived for over 80 1000 years, he still could not attain true immortality.

Faced with the imminent agony of losing their son, the couple steeled their resolve after profound grief. At tremendous cost, they finally procured this pair of Clarity Soul Pearls for Lu Miaoyin.

Lu Miaoyin had now awakened her Double Pupils, and as long as she followed the path of cultivation step by step, immortality was virtually assured.

Thus, the couple let go of their attachment and decided not to have any more descendants, rendering the remaining Bright God Pearl useless.

At this point, Celestial Feather Immortal(personal name) pondered and said, "I've heard Fellow Daoist(personal name) gained substantial rewards from the Earth Immortal's(personal name) ruins, so I presume your assets must be quite considerable."

"However, this Bright Soul Pearl is extremely precious. I wonder if you'd be willing to make an offer, Fellow Daoist."

Eldrin had anticipated this. With a faint smile, he retrieved a jade box from his sleeve and offered it, saying, "I wonder if this might be exchanged for the Bright Spirit Pearl."

"Oh?"

Tianyu Immortal opened it and his eyes instantly narrowed.

He took a deep breath and was about to speak when he noticed Violet Flame Fairy firmly grasping his hand, her gaze carrying a hint of anticipation.

It turned out that the object within the box was none other than the Longevity Elixir, capable of granting mortals eternal life.

This Pill of Longevity holds extraordinary value, a crucial and urgently needed treasure for any immortal with beloved family by their side.

His second son with the Violet Flame Fairy had lived past 50,000 years, having exhausted numerous life-extending methods, and now found it nearly impossible to carry on.

If he could obtain the Longevity Pill, though he would never be able to cultivate again, he could at least steal the fruit of immortality—this was his only hope.

The Violet Flame Fairy felt a pang of maternal concern, unwilling to let her son miss this chance at the Elixir of Longevity.

Seeing this, the Celestial Feather Immortal couldn't help but smile wryly and said, "It seems you've long discerned what this old man requires. What you offer makes it impossible for me to refuse."

"In that case, let's proceed with the exchange."

"My thanks!"

Eldrin smiled gratefully and exchanged with a satisfied heart for the Bright Soul Pearl from the Celestial Feather Immortal.

Seeing that he had obtained the treasure, Eldrin (Person Name) stored it away with great satisfaction before inquiring further, "I’ve heard that in recent years, Fellow Daoist, you’ve expended considerable effort searching for prenatal nurturing treasures. I presume you must have obtained some leads regarding such divine artifacts."

"Now that I urgently require such a treasure, I beseech you, fellow Daoist, to offer some guidance."

"Oh?"

Elder Tianyu’s gaze froze for a moment. After a brief pause, he smiled and said, “There are indeed a few clues. You may listen to them for now.”

Tianyu Immortal spoke unhurriedly, raising 2 fingers as he began. "Within the surrounding seas, there are 2 divine artifacts known to me."

"First, the Heavenly Dragon Sariras."

Second, the Ocean God's Jade.

As the Celestial Feather Immortal explained, Eldrin gradually came to understand the origins of the 2 treasures.

That Celestial Dragon Relic was extremely miraculous, said to be a relic formed when a venerable Buddha achieved Nirvana.

Its origins are rather mystical. Legend has it that many years ago, a true dragon from the Tianyao Sea converted to the Kongming Temple and transformed into a Vajra Protector of the Buddhist faith.

That True Dragon Buddha possessed extraordinary talent, with astonishing comprehension and spiritual roots. After transforming into a Buddha, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the late-stage Ascendant Realm in an exceedingly short time.

Yet how overbearing the True Dragon Clan truly was—how could such a mythical immortal breed ever tolerate 1 of their own converting to the Buddhist faith?

Approximately hundreds of thousands of years ago, a True Dragon Ancestor at the Earth Immortal realm exerted pressure, demanding that Kongming Temple release the true dragon.

The Temple of Emptiness could no longer withstand the pressure and had no choice but to allow the True Dragon to depart.

Yet who could have known that the true dragon had long been devoted to Buddhist teachings? Before parting ways, he refused to renounce the faith, choosing to end his own life beyond the gates of Kongming Temple.

After the True Dragon Buddha perished, his physical form returned to the Dao and ascended to the heavens, while his dragon bones transformed into a single Heavenly Dragon Sarira.

The dragon clan’s Earth Immortal watched the True Dragon act with such unwavering resolve, his heart filled with deep regret for his own actions. In the end, he left the relic within the confines of the Heavenly Dragon Temple.

Tianyu Immortal (Person Name) spoke up to this point and said with a bitter smile, "That Heavenly Dragon Relic (Divine Artifact) is a supreme treasure. If transformed into nourishment for fetal development, it would undoubtedly forge a foundation of unparalleled talent."

"Unfortunately, the Void Enlightenment Temple felt they had failed the Buddhist Celestial Dragon and refused to sell it. I personally sought them out 3 times, only to be driven down the mountain on each occasion."

"Oh?"

Eldrin’s gaze flickered slightly, and he couldn’t help but ask in puzzlement, “Since they are unwilling to sell it, why even bring it up?”

"They were unwilling to sell, yet they were willing to bestow it as a gift."

The Celestial Feather Immortal spoke, a trace of bitter amusement in his tone. "The Buddhist path speaks of karma, of cause and effect, and the ineffable destiny woven by fate itself."

"They were unwilling to sell it due to their karmic debt to the Celestial Dragon Buddha."

"Yet if anyone can stir the resonance of the Celestial Dragon Sarira and prove to be its destined bearer by fate, they shall naturally be able to claim the Celestial Dragon Sarira."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin finally understood the helplessness of Celestial Feather Immortal.

Celestial Feather Immortal had no affinity with the Celestial Dragon Relic, and neither did his descendants. Thus, none could claim the Celestial Dragon Relic.
