Chapter 1104 : A Realm Forged in Starlight

This was already astonishing enough. To Eldrin Chen's knowledge, the environment within the Setting Sun Blessed Land [a sacred realm of immense spiritual richness] was, in truth, not much better than this.

Under the enveloping influence of the Starry Glazed Realm [a grand defensive and cultivation-enhancing formation], the cultivation environment of Green Chariot Mountain Peak now rivaled, and in some aspects even surpassed, that of many true Earth Immortal Blessed Land [a sacred realm created and sustained by an Earth Immortal].

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen could not help but smile and say, "Our Starry Glazed Realm has already acquired several characteristics of a true Blessed Land [a sacred realm of exceptional spiritual energy]."

"Its sole shortcoming is that the Starry Glazed Realm only spans a radius of ten thousand Li-lengths [one Li-length equals five hundred meters], and can at most sustain the cultivation of nine Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to immortality]."

Verdant Consort nodded in agreement upon hearing this. A true Earth Immortal Blessed Land could encompass at least a million Li-lengths and support the cultivation of an Earth Immortal Progenitor [an Earth Immortal who has founded a lineage] alongside over a hundred other Immortal, multiplying their cultivation speed severalfold.

In comparison, the Starry Glazed Realm, limited to a mere ten thousand Li-lengths and a maximum of nine Immortal, likely possessed less than one-hundredth the potency of a genuine Earth Immortal Blessed Land.

Yet even so, this was a marvel beyond measure.

At the very least, for the foreseeable future, the cultivation environment for Eldrin Chen and his companions would be in no way inferior to that of an Earth Immortal Blessed Land.

With this thought, Verdant Consort could not help but remark, "With the Starry Glazed Realm, perhaps before the next Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic era of conflict and upheaval ordained by fate], we truly have a chance to break through to the Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm [the advanced stage of the Immortal Ascension realm]."

"Indeed." This chapter is provided by http://www . audio-novel.com. Support the original.

Eldrin Chen gave a slow nod, his gaze fixed upon the Glaze Star Realm [a world of stars and celestial bodies] suspended within the Firmament. "If the Sun, Moon, and Stars Three Pearls were to advance further, ascending to the realm of a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [the pinnacle grade of immortal artifacts]," he mused.

"Then the might of the Glaze Star Realm would likely increase tenfold, if not more."

"Truly?"

Lyra Jiang was pleasantly surprised, a flicker of excitement crossing her features.

Yet, after a mere moment's contemplation, she shook her head. "Though the current Glaze Star Realm's value already surpasses that of a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure, it holds little practical use for an Earth Immortal Progenitor [a progenitor-level cultivator who has attained the Earth Immortal realm].

"If its power were to increase tenfold upon reaching the Supreme Grade, even an Earth Immortal Progenitor might be tempted to seize it. With our current strength, we could not hope to defend it."

"I understand."

Eldrin Chen nodded in agreement, then continued, "These Sun, Moon, and Stars Three Pearls can absorb the radiance of the sun, moon, and stars. There is a sliver of a chance they could ascend from High Grade Immortal Treasure [a high-grade immortal artifact] to the Supreme Grade.

"Yet, even so, each precious orb would require at least three strands of Acquired Primordial Violet Qi [a rare, post-Heaven violet energy essential for refining supreme treasures] to succeed in its advancement. At present, I do not possess such a quantity."

Hearing this, the two women could not help but feel a sense of helplessness. For all three Starry Treasure Orb [the individual orbs that make up the Sun, Moon, and Stars Three Pearls] to reach the Supreme Grade would require a total of nine strands of Acquired Primordial Violet Qi.

This required the accumulation of four thousand five hundred years by Eldrin Chen, a feat that was fundamentally not accomplished in a single day.

Thinking this, Verdant Consort gave a slight nod and said, "It is of no consequence. For now, it is sufficient."

Eldrin Chen smiled, then looked at the Starry Glazed Realm [a mystical formation that gathers and refines celestial light for cultivation] and said, "Do not dwell on it. Let us first test the cultivation efficacy of the Starry Glazed Realm."

"Agreed."

Upon hearing this, the two women immediately sat cross-legged within the Starry Glazed Realm and began to draw upon the Starry Glazed Heavenly Light [a divine light of stars and glaze, used for profound cultivation] to practice.

Thus, time flowed swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, one Jiazi-time [a cycle of sixty years] had passed.

On this day, as Eldrin Chen was tempering his Mana [the refined spiritual energy of a cultivator] to fortify his foundations, he suddenly sensed someone calling to him, causing his eyes to snap open abruptly.

"Who dares disturb my serene cultivation?"

At the same moment, atop Verdant Chariot Mountain within the Mortal Dust Purple Realm [a mystical realm tinged with the hues of mortal existence]...

...within a solemn Grand Hall, several figures of extraordinary bearing had gathered.

Should any outsider have been present, they would have witnessed that the figures before them were all Pure Yang Dao Lord whose names shook the Purple Realm.

The lowest cultivation among them was at the Seventh Layer of Nascent Soul. Any single one of them stepping forth would be worthy of the highest honors from the great Dao Lord Sacred Land.

For the Chen Clan of Eastern Wasteland was one of the most glorious Immortal Clan in the history of the Purple Realm, its veins flowing with a supreme and peerless bloodline.

The names of each individual present had already been inscribed into the annals of history. They were among the most revered existences between heaven and earth, possessing immense Merit Points [a metaphysical "currency" representing good karma or virtuous deeds] for this world.

Yet these Dao Lord who commanded awe across the land now wore expressions of utmost gravity.

The white-haired elder at their forefront appeared somewhat calmer. He retrieved a precious incense stick engraved with immortal traces and carefully lit it. Find thousands of chapters at AUDIO-NOVEL.COM.

"Hmm—"

The moment the Immortal Trace Incense was lit, a wisp of azure smoke coiled upwards, seeming to pierce through the veils separating the immortal and mortal realms.

With a soft sound, the void behind the smoke seemed to tear open, revealing a place of breathtaking, ethereal beauty.

It was a resplendent world, suffused with Starry Glazed Heavenly Light. The sun, moon, and stars of the heavens appeared within arm's reach, as if one could simply pluck a star from the firmament.

Within the Starry Glazed Heavenly Light, amidst the boundless mists of immortality, a White Robe as pure as snow stirred, and a banished immortal opened his eyes.

"Who disturbs my secluded cultivation?"

The White-Robed Banished Immortal murmured, his gaze seeming to pierce the veil between the immortal and mortal realms, finally discerning the scene within the mortal dust.

"The ancestral homeland of the Purple Realm."

Eldrin Chen spoke calmly, his eyes sweeping over the assembled figures, immediately recognizing several familiar faces.

There were seven individuals who had lit the Immortal Trace Incense. Among them were the Old Patriarch Thalion Chen, Kael Chen, Changye Chen, Caspian Chen, and his second disciple, Alistair Lu.

The remaining two were a woman of peerless beauty, naturally the Separated Flame Vermilion Bird, and an elderly cultivator, who was Chen Zuxuan.

With but a glance, Eldrin Chen perceived that among those present, the Old Patriarch Thalion Chen, Kael Chen, and Ethan Chen had all cultivated to the Half-Immortal Realm.

Caspian Chen and Alistair Lu both possessed cultivation at the Ninth Layer Nascent Soul, while Chen Zuxuan had attained the Seventh Layer of Nascent Soul.

Eldrin Chen remembered Chen Zuxuan. This man possessed Four Spiritual Roots and had achieved Self-Guided Foundation Establishment. His early cultivation journey appeared utterly unremarkable, yet he had managed to advance all the way to the Seventh Layer of Nascent Soul. This revealed him to be one whose great wisdom was cloaked in apparent simplicity.

Now he has cultivated to the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage [the advanced stage of the spiritual core cultivation]. With the aptitude of Four Spiritual Roots [a rare and balanced spiritual foundation], his hopes for Ascending to Immortality [transcending mortality to become an immortal] in the future are not small. Thalion Chen likely brought him along for this meeting precisely so that myself might offer some guidance and support.

As for the final member, the Separated Flame Vermilion Bird [a mythical firebird of immense power], she was already but half a step away from Ascending to Immortality [transcending mortality to become an immortal] even before Eldrin Chen ascended to the Immortal Realm.

"Now..."

Eldrin Chen's gaze shifted subtly, discerning the Immortal Spirit Qi [the pure, transcendent energy of immortals] coiling around the Separated Flame Vermilion Bird. He understood then that she had already weathered her tribulation and succeeded in Ascending to Immortality [transcending mortality to become an immortal].

With this realization, Eldrin Chen looked at the Old Patriarch and spoke with a smile, "Four thousand years and more have passed unseen. I trust you have been well, Old Granduncle?"

"We have enjoyed peace for several Millennium [a period of one thousand years]. Now, our clan boasts several dozen Primordial Spirit [spiritual core] cultivators and sits firmly as the foremost Immortal Clan [a clan with immortal heritage and power] within the Purple Realm."

Upon hearing this, Thalion Chen could not help but stroke his beard and laugh heartily. Then he spoke again, "All is well within the clan. But tell me, have you found a place to stand firm within the Immortal Realm [the higher plane of existence where immortals reside]?"

"An Immortal Island [a floating landmass suffused with immortal energy], a clan of ten million souls. While we cannot yet claim to awe the region, we have indeed laid down our roots,"

Eldrin Chen replied calmly. His gaze then turned to the Separated Flame Vermilion Bird, and he asked, "You summoned me, was it for the matter of Little Sparrow's ascension?"

"Indeed, though not solely for that reason."

Thalion Chen revealed a faint smile, gazing at the Separated Flame Vermilion Bird [a mythical bird of fire and auspice] and said, "A century ago, the Separated Flame Sovereign [a title of supreme honor for a cultivator] successfully weathered the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation [a cataclysmic trial of heavenly lightning that tests a cultivator's path], and has only recently consolidated her cultivation base."

"The reason for seeking you out now is to request a Dao Marker [a mystical token that guides a soul to a specific destiny or protector], so that after her ascension, she may seek refuge under your wing."

Eldrin Chen nodded in understanding, realizing that during the years of his own absence, the Separated Flame Vermilion Bird had forged a formidable reputation within the Purple Realm [a vast and powerful cultivation realm], earning the reverence of its cultivators and the exalted title of Separated Flame Sovereign.

This was no minor honorific, for within the Purple Realm, to be hailed as a 'Sovereign' was a distinction reserved only for those peerless talents who dominated an entire era.

For instance, 'Xander Jiang' was revered as the Jiang the Sovereign Emperor, and 'Qiyuan Chen' was honored as the Eastern Sovereign, both figures of matchless and unparalleled prowess.

At this thought, Eldrin Chen could not help but smile. "To think that after several Millennium [a grand cycle of one thousand years], you, my little sparrow, have also attained the Dao [the fundamental principle and ultimate goal of cultivation]."

"Since it is so, the Dao Marker shall be yours."

Accepting the Dao Marker, Thalion Chen said with a light laugh, "This token is not sought solely for the Separated Flame Phoenix [a title for the Vermilion Bird after its transformation], but also for a few other Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for cultivators walking the same path] within the Purple Realm."

"Oh?"

Eldrin Chen's eyes flickered with interest as Thalion Chen continued, "Both the Ancestor Black Tortoise and the Master of the Drifting Snow Palace achieved Ascending to Immortality [the final transcendence, leaving the mortal world for the immortal realms] several centuries past."

"They have no kin to rely upon in the Immortal Realm [the higher realm of existence where true Immortals reside]. They plan to seek refuge with you after Ascending to Immortality [transcending the mortal world and achieving true Immortal status]." Continue your cultivation journey at audio~novel.com.
