Chapter 1050. 7-Colored Glazed Sea

"It is considered complete."

Eldrin nodded, then bid farewell to Kongjian Buddha and the others before departing from the Kongming Temple.

After leaving the Empty Radiance Temple, Eldrin recounted the matters of karma to Seraphina Qu.

After hearing this, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) grew somewhat concerned and unconsciously furrowed her brow. "Born with inherent karma, this child is destined to face considerable hardships in the years to come."

"Do not worry."

Eldrin shook his head and declared with unwavering resolve, "As a father, I would never stand idly by if my child were truly facing a tribulation."

"Likewise."

Upon hearing this, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) nodded and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

And so it was in this celestial realm: if you possessed strength enough, you could become the most steadfast pillar for those around you.

In any case, this Celestial Dragon Relic is a tremendous opportunity. Using it as nourishment during fetal development will ensure the child is born with unparalleled innate talent—achieving Earth Immortal or even Celestial Immortal status would be virtually effortless.

It was precisely for this reason that the Emptiness-Enlightenment Ancient Temple spared no expense in nurturing it for hundreds of thousands of years, and the Enlightened Buddha of Emptiness might not have been willing to seclude himself for hundreds of millennia, chanting sutras and offering blessings day and night for Its sake.

This is a supreme object imbued with great merit and profound Buddhist dharma. It would be truly regrettable to encounter it yet fail to utilize it.

Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Eldrin spoke again, "Since we have obtained the Dragon Emperor's Sariras, it is time for us to head to the Glazed Sea and seek treasures for your child."

"My child."

Upon hearing this, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) instinctively touched her abdomen, a hint of happiness coloring her expression.

She was a bit nervous, clutching Eldrin's sleeve tightly as she said, "I'll follow your lead, my husband."

The immortal realms are vast and boundless, with distances between each sea region spanning immeasuraly far.

The 2 of them crossed the Celestial Demon Sea and continued their journey toward the Glazed Sea. After a full 8 months of flight, they finally traversed the 2 maritime regions and arrived within the Glazed Sea.

Upon arriving at the Glazed Sea, the 2 of them unconsciously grew solemn.

Unlike the previous seas, the Glazed Sea was home to a peerless demon immortal of the Earth Immortal realm.

In the previous few sea regions, even though there were Patriarchs at the half-step Earth Immortal realm standing guard, none could instill fear in Eldrin.

After all, although a Half-Step Earth Immortal Patriarch was formidable, even the most supreme among them could likely only barely contend with an early-stage Earth Immortal Patriarch.

Eldrin felt that given his current strength, even if he couldn't defeat an ordinary half-step Earth Immortal, he still had some confidence in preserving his life.

Yet when facing a genuine Earth Immortal elder, Eldrin had not the slightest shred of confidence.

In contrast, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) appeared somewhat more at ease. She took Eldrin (Person Name)’s hand and reassured him, “Do not worry, my husband. Our Spirit Shell Clan has always been gentle by nature, and it is highly unlikely they would act against you.”

"And with me here, they shouldn't harm you."

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this, suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart before continuing his flight toward the core of the Glazed Sea.

In just a few days, they had traversed the land and arrived before a breathtakingly beautiful shallow sea.

To call it absolutely stunning would be no exaggeration. This was a shallow sea, its waters filled with countless specks of starlight that shimmered within the crystal-clear depths, making 1 feel as though they were drifting through a resplendent starry sky.

7-Colored Glazed Sea.

Eldrin murmured, recognizing the name of this sea.

Within this 7-Colored Glazed Sea lay countless rare and precious immortal ores and spirit minerals. As they remained untouched for eons, nourished ceaselessly by the celestial clams that enriched heaven and earth, the condensed spirit ores grew ever more abundant.

In the end, after accumulating over tens of millions of years, this blessed land of the 7-Colored Glazed Sea was formed—stretching across countless hundreds of millions of miles.

It could be said that the 7-Colored Glazed Sea was a land of treasures at every turn. Over the years, even many Earth Immortal Patriarchs had been deeply captivated by it, while numerous powerful factions coveted it endlessly.

Fortunately, within the Glazed Sea resided a powerful Earth Immortal who had lived for tens of millions of years, serving as its guardian.

Moreover, this Earth Immortal was a Divine Lord officially enshrined by the Qingcang Celestial Court, whose power and status were not to be underestimated—only thus could he safeguard this blessed land of Earth Immortals.

"Who dares trespass upon the Glazed Sea?"

Just as Eldrin was marveling in awe, a sharp rebuke suddenly rang out.

There in the void, a woman draped in sheer gauze tread the empty air as she emerged before the crowd.

"Late-stage Ascension to Immortality, this aura seems to be the Moon Goddess Shell taking form."

Eldrin (Person Name) felt a shock in his heart, instantly recognizing the true form of the person before him.

He exchanged a glance with Seraphina Qu (Person Name), instantly confirming their shared understanding.

The Moon God Shell is a rare variant of spirit clams, an exceptionally gifted spirit clam whose potential can truly be described as formidable.

Seraphina Qu's mother was a rare Lunar Pearl Shell, possessing extraordinary potential and remarkable innate talent. Regrettably, she had ultimately sacrificed her life to slay the 9-headed demon dragon of 9 Dragons' Deep Pool.

In their early years, Eldrin and Seraphina Qu had always cultivated using the Moon God Pearl left by her mother, making them intimately familiar with its aura. Thus, they immediately recognized the true nature of the spiritual clam before them.

Thus, the 2 of them felt an inexplicable sense of closeness toward the demon immortal before them.

Eldrin cupped his hands and promptly replied with utmost courtesy, "I am Eldrin. My unannounced visit here is to humbly request a treasure for my wife."

"Your wife?"

The demon immortal's gaze flickered with a moment of surprise, only then noticing that Eldrin had not yet attained immortality—Seraphina Qu.

With just 1 glance, the woman's expression shifted slightly, and she asked with a hint of uncertainty, "Is your true form the 7-Colored Immortal Clam?"

Seraphina Qu cast a glance at Eldrin, and only after seeing him nod in acknowledgment did she offer a slight curtsy and reply, "My true form is indeed that of a Rainbow Pearl Oyster, having taken human shape."

"So it is."

A flicker of delight flashed in the woman's pupils, and her tone softened considerably. She gave a slight nod to the 2 and said, "I am Yue Ji, Second Elder of the Glazed Sea."

"So it is Fairy Yueji. My respects."

Eldrin nodded, only then realizing that the aura emanating from Fairy Yueji was immensely powerful. Her cultivation had reached the Ninth Ascension Realm of Immortal Ascension, likely no weaker than that of Elder Chilong.

Seeing this, Yue Ji spoke up, "Follow me, then."

"Much obliged."

After exchanging pleasantries, the 2 followed Fairy Yueji deeper into the Glazed Sea.

Before long, they arrived within a magnificent glazed palace deep beneath the sea.

After leading them into the chamber, Lady Yue rose before Eldrin could utter a word. "Wait here," she said. "I shall summon the Patriarch to receive you."

"This..."

Watching Yueji depart, the 2 of them couldn't help but feel somewhat stunned.

They had only come to exchange for a fetal-nurturing treasure, yet the other party insisted on summoning the Earth Immortal Patriarch. This was completely beyond Eldrin's expectations.

Moreover, they had yet to state their purpose, yet the other party directly went to summon the Patriarch—it seemed somewhat unreasonable.

"Yue Ji's reaction is off."

Eldrin murmured softly, then turned his gaze to Seraphina Qu, speaking with a hint of uncertainty, "Her haste to leave... seems to be because of you?"

"Because of me?"

Seraphina Qu (Person Name) also seemed somewhat perplexed, as if unable to discern the stance of the Immortal Shell Clan.

However, judging from Moon Princess's attitude, the Immortal Shell Clan appeared to be friendly toward them, harboring no ill intentions.

At this thought, the 2 of them felt slightly reassured and settled in to wait patiently.

Before long, Yueji arrived with 3 figures in tow.

Several figures, all women, appeared before him. 1 was draped in starlight, another radiated like the brilliant sun, and the last was utterly unfathomable—her aura seemed...

Eldrin’s expression shifted subtly as he exchanged a glance with Seraphina Qu.

7-Colored Immortal Clam

Chapter 1: The Reborn Prodigy The biting cold pierced deep into the bones. Ye Chen groaned as he struggled to open his heavy eyelids. The dilapidated temple and the spiderwebs swaying in the wind reflected in his pitch-black pupils. "Is this... the Netherworld?" He instinctively touched his chest, yet found no trace of a wound. Only the tattered green robe remained stained with dark blood. Suddenly, a violent headache struck, as if countless needles were piercing his brain. Countless chaotic memories surged forth like tidal waves—the proud son of heaven from the Azure Cloud Sect, the engagement ceremony at the Lingxiao Pavilion, and that treacherous sword thrust from his most trusted junior sister... "Lin Wanru!" Ye Chen gritted his teeth, his knuckles cracking under the pressure. He never imagined that the gentle and refined junior sister would actually poison his spiritual tea and deliver a fatal blow on the eve of his succession as sect master. Just as his consciousness was about to dissipate, the ancestral jade pendant at his chest suddenly emitted a blinding light. When he awoke again, he had arrived at this ruined temple. "Wait, this is... the mortal realm?" Ye Chen abruptly sat up, sensing the astonishingly thin spiritual energy in the surrounding space. His internal inspection revealed that his cultivation base had completely vanished, leaving only a faint trace of spiritual power circulating through his meridians. "Hah..." A bitter smile tugged at his lips. The once peerless prodigy of the Azure Cloud Sect had now become a mere mortal in the mundane world. Suddenly, hurried footsteps echoed from outside the temple, accompanied by the clamor of shouting. "Search carefully! That kid won't get far!" "The young master said that whoever catches Ye Chen will be rewarded with 10 1000 taels of silver!" Ye Chen's expression shifted abruptly. Through the gaps in the broken wall, he saw several figures in black swiftly approaching, their movements clearly indicating trained martial artists. Without a second thought, he rolled behind the dilapidated statue. Though his cultivation base was gone, the instincts honed from hundreds of battles remained. "Boss, there are bloodstains here!" a sharp voice called out. The leader, a burly man with a scar on his face, crouched down to examine the dark red stain on the ground. A sinister grin spread across his face. "He's injured and can't have gone far. Search the area!" Just as the men in black were about to spread out, a cold snort suddenly rang out from outside the temple. "Who dares to cause trouble in my territory?" A white-robed old man appeared at the temple entrance as if materializing out of thin air. His gaze was sharp, and with a mere sweep of his sleeve, an invisible force sent the several men in black flying. "A Foundation Establishment cultivator!" The scar-faced man's expression changed dramatically. "Senior, we are from the City Lord's Mansion. We ask for your understanding..." "Scram!" The white-robed old man's tone held no room for argument. The men in black exchanged glances, not daring to say another word, and scrambled away in panic. Only then did the white-robed old man turn to look in Ye Chen's direction. "Young friend, you may come out now." Ye Chen emerged from behind the statue, neither humble nor overbearing, and bowed respectfully. "Many thanks for your help, senior." The old man's eyes lit up with surprise. "Interesting. To remain so calm in such a situation—you are no ordinary person." As he spoke, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Ye Chen's wrist. A powerful spiritual energy instantly surged into Ye Chen's body. "Hmm? Shattered dantian? Yet there's a trace of spiritual power circulating?" The old man's expression shifted from shock to confusion. "Young friend, who exactly are you?" Ye Chen hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell the truth. "This junior is a disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect." "The Azure Cloud Sect?" The old man was visibly startled. "The number 1 sect in the cultivation world? But I heard that the Azure Cloud Sect's young prodigy, Ye Chen, perished 3 days ago during his succession ceremony..." A bitter smile appeared on Ye Chen's face. "It is precisely because I died once that I stand before you now." The old man fell into deep thought, then suddenly asked, "Young friend, are you willing to join my Hidden Sword Peak?" "Hidden Sword Peak?" Ye Chen was taken aback. "But I heard that Hidden Sword Peak was annihilated 50 years ago..." "That's right." A trace of sorrow flashed in the old man's eyes. "I am the last elder of Hidden Sword Peak. For decades, I have been searching for a successor with exceptional talent to revive our sect." He looked intently at Ye Chen. "Although your dantian is shattered, the spiritual power within your body is exceptionally pure—a rare sight in all my years. More importantly, you carry a deep-seated vengeance, and your will is far stronger than that of ordinary people." Ye Chen fell silent. He understood that in his current state, returning to the Azure Cloud Sect would be nothing short of a death wish. Hidden Sword Peak, however, offered an opportunity. "Disciple Ye Chen pays respects to Master!" He knelt without hesitation. The old man burst into hearty laughter, helping Ye Chen to his feet. "Well said! From today onward, you are the sole successor of Hidden Sword Peak!" He produced a jade slip from his sleeve and handed it to Ye Chen. "This is the Hidden Sword Peak's foundational cultivation technique, the Hidden Sword Art. Though your dantian is shattered, this technique can use your meridians as a furnace to rebuild your cultivation!" Ye Chen received the jade slip, a flicker of determination passing through his eyes. Lin Wanru, just you wait. When I, Ye Chen, return to the cultivation world, it will be your judgment day! At that moment, a cold gleam flashed in the distant sky, as if a sharp sword had torn through the layers of clouds.
