Chapter 1051. The Legend of 9-Colored Immortal Shell

The person who had arrived was completely beyond Eldrin's expectations.

The master of the Glazed Paradise before their eyes was actually a Rainbow Immortal Clam that had taken human form, possessing nearly identical innate talent as Seraphina Qu (Person Name).

The master of the Glazed Palace possessed an elegant and slender figure. Draped in resplendent glazed Seraphina Qu (Person Name), her brows and eyes carried an immense authority.

What Eldrin (Person Name) did not know was that at the very moment of her astonishment, the master of the Glazed Palace was even more profoundly exhilarated.

"Indeed..."

The master of the Glazed Paradise fixed his gaze upon Seraphina Qu (Person Name), and after a moment of careful observation, a faint smile graced his lips.

A moment later, she collected her thoughts and cast a glance at Seraphina Qu's womb before asking, "What is your name?"

Seraphina Qu cast a glance at Eldrin, then bowed gracefully. "This humble 1 is Seraphina Qu," she said, her voice like chiming jade. "I pay my respects to the Divine Lord."

"There's no need for such formality."

The master of the Glazed Paradise smiled faintly, yet shook his head with serene indifference.

The position of Divine Lord of the Celestial Court is 1 of great prestige. Generally speaking, only mighty Celestial Immortals possess the qualifications to receive such an honorable appointment.

However, the Qingcang Celestial Court was merely a branch of the Celestial Court, located at an immeasurable distance from the true Celestial Court. The majority of its high-ranking officials were local cultivators, so there was naturally little cause for concern.

Within the Vast Azure Immortal Realm, any cultivator who attained the Earth Immortal realm would be conferred the title of Divine Lord upon joining the Celestial Court.

Those supremely venerable Celestial Immortals wielded immense influence within this celestial court, each holding the rank of great generals and marshals who commanded vast authority, with numerous celestial soldiers and divine generals under their command.

But such prestige was confined solely within the Cang Qiong Immortal Realm.

Once 1 departs from the Qingcang Immortal Realm, aside from a handful of Ancient Immortals, all others must suppress their cultivation by 1 level—a practice unrecognized by the mighty figures across the 3,000 Immortal Realms.

The master of the Glazed Paradise saw things clearly, fully aware that his position as Divine Lord was nominal and took no pride in it.

She simply waved her hand, gesturing for the group to be seated as she said, "I am Qu Liuli. You may address me as Clan Lord Liuli."

At this point, without waiting for either of them to respond, she turned to Seraphina Qu (Person Name) and inquired, "I've never heard any news of you before. I presume you're not from the surrounding seas?"

"This humble 1…"

Seraphina Qu hesitated slightly, her gaze involuntarily drifting toward Eldrin.

Eldrin understood that the news of his ascension would easily be discovered with minimal inquiry, so there was no need for concealment. He spoke directly, "My wife and I have only recently ascended to the celestial realm."

"Is that truly the case?"

Hearing this, Qu Liuli’s expression toward Eldrin softened slightly. "It speaks of your loyalty and compassion that you brought your family along in your ascension."

Eldrin grasped Seraphina Qu's hand, a faint smile gracing his lips. "How could I ascend alone, leaving behind the 1 who has shared both my bed and my destiny for millennia?"

Glazed Immortal Lord nodded upon hearing this, then turned to Seraphina Qu (Person Name) and said, "Fortunately, you brought him along during your ascension instead of letting her achieve immortality in the lower realm. There is still a chance to make amends."

"What does the Divine Lord mean by this?"

Eldrin (Person Name) froze for a fleeting moment before urgently inquiring.

The Eldrin did not respond immediately. Instead, Yue Ji beside him spoke: "Most of our Spirit Shell Clan possess ordinary, inferior aptitudes—far inferior to the smooth path of the Human Clan’s Dao."

Yet among all spirit shells, there exist rare mutated varieties—even mythical immortal breeds whose foundations rival those of true dragons.

Among these exotic spirit clams, 4 breeds possessed the most formidable innate talents: the Solar Crest Clam, the Lunar Grace Clam, the Stellar Radiance Clam, and the legendary Iridescent Celestial Clam.

As Lady Yue recounted the tale, Eldrin gradually came to understand the mysteries of the Spirit Shell Clan.

Most of the Spirit Clam kin had limited potential, forever bound by their bloodline and unable to attain immortality—yet these 4 spirit clams were the exception.

The reason the 7-Colored Immortal Clam could attain immortality was because it was inherently a rare Mythical Immortal Species, possessing boundless potential within itself.

The Solar Shell, Lunar Shell, and Stellar Shell were slightly weaker, yet they could draw upon the power of the sun, moon, and stars to continuously refine their bloodline, evolving from Spirit Shells into Immortal Shells.

If 1 were to obtain a treasure containing the power of the sun and moon, or perhaps the essence of the stars, there might even be a possibility of breaking through to the Earth Immortal realm, or even the Celestial Immortal realm.

And the 4 peerless immortal ladies before him were respectively incarnations of these 4 mighty spirit shells.

Elder Riyue Ji was the transformed form of the Xiri Shell, her bloodline continuously evolving from its original foundation. Her cultivation had already reached the half-step Earth Immortal realm.

Elder Yue Ji, a moon deity shell incarnate, possessed a cultivation base at the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Ascendant Immortal realm. She was a peerless prodigy with the potential to break through to the Earth Immortal stage.

The Third Elder, Star Maiden, was a being transformed from a Celestial Star Clam. Her cultivation level was nearly on par with Moon Maiden's, and her mastery of stellar power ranked among the finest in these seas.

As for the Glazed Divine Lord, she was the human form manifested from the 7-colored immortal clam. Her cultivation had reached the Earth Immortal realm, but which specific layer of Earth Immortal remained beyond Eldrin's perception.

However, she had cultivated at the Earth Immortal realm for tens of millions of years, and legends spoke of her as a 3 Tribulations Earth Immortal. Her strength was feared to be at least at the late Earth Immortal stage.

After Yueji finished speaking, the Glazed Divine Lord finally spoke up, "The 7-Colored Immortal Clam is indeed the most powerful immortal strain of the Spirit Clam race, yet there may still exist clams surpassing even it."

"A fairy clam more powerful than the 7-Glow Immortal Clam?"

Eldrin's face paled with shock, an involuntary look of astonishment flashing across his features.

The Glazed Goddess nodded slightly. With the power of natural law, she sealed the void before speaking with utmost gravity, "As far back as over a million years ago, there once was a peerless fairy maiden from our lineage of the 7-colored Immortal Clam."

She was born from the transformation of a 7-colored Immortal Clam, and later encountered a tremendous opportunity when she met a noble benefactor.

That noble 1 possessed the bearing of a Dao Ancestor and Immortal Sage, producing the incomparably precious Primordial Qi of Heaven and Earth Yin Yang. This caused her own foundation to undergo a metamorphosis, adding 2 hues of divine light and transforming her into a 9-colored immortal clam.

9-Colored Immortal Clam?

Eldrin was utterly stunned, his heart trembling with disbelief.

The Primordial Qi of Heaven and Earth is incomparably precious; this substance only manifests when 1 breaks through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and carves out a vast celestial domain.

The Great Luo Golden Immortal carved out a celestial realm from the primordial chaos. At the dawn of creation, it would sequentially undergo the '5 Supreme Primordials', giving birth to 5 peerless substances along with countless innate divine artifacts of immeasurable value.

Among these divine substances, the Primordial Qi of Yin and Yang was 1 of the most precious materials, no less profound than the 5 Ultimate Primordial Energies.

Moreover, when ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals break through and establish their immortal domains, they obtain extremely few Primordial treasures to begin with. Even combined, these can only advance 1 or 2 Primordial Spiritual Treasures—how could they ever bear to let others use them?

Such treasures, even for Great Luo Golden Immortals, are supreme rarities. If 1 could produce a sufficient quantity to nurture a 9-Colored Immortal Clam, it might seem unexpected at first glance, yet upon reflection, it appears almost inevitable.

Eldrin was utterly astounded. This was the first time he had ever heard such a secret, and he couldn't help but be lost in thought.

The Glazed Immortal Lord also wore a look of yearning as he continued, "That 9-Colored Immortal Clam is unprecedented since time immemorial, possessing a transcendent foundation rooted in the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."

After cultivating for a mere few million years, his cultivation base had already broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Chapter 1: The Prodigy's Return The mountain peaks pierced the heavens like emerald swords, veiled in swirling mists where spiritual energy coalesced into visible streams. Upon the highest crag stood a young man in blue robes, his eyes holding the wisdom of millennia. This was Luo Feng, once the Heavenly Pride of the Azure Cloud Sect, now returning after 3 years of secluded cultivation. "Senior Brother Luo! You've emerged from closed-door cultivation!" A group of junior disciples gathered below, their voices filled with awe and admiration. Luo Feng descended gracefully, his feet barely touching the jagged rocks. "The path of cultivation is endless," he murmured, sensing the spiritual energy circulating through his meridians. He had broken through to the seventh layer of the 9 Revolutions Art, a feat that would astonish the entire cultivation world. In the main hall, Elder Ming Zhen awaited him, his white beard flowing like a silver waterfall. "Luo Feng, the Sect Master requests your presence. The 100 Sect Alliance Tournament approaches, and we need our strongest disciple." Luo Feng bowed respectfully. "This disciple shall not disappoint the sect." Later, in the artifact vault, Luo Feng's gaze fell upon the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure). The blade hummed in recognition, crimson energy swirling around its edge. "Old friend," he whispered, "we have battles to fight." Suddenly, a urgent voice echoed through the mental transmission jade: "Brother Luo! The Dark Moon Canyon has been invaded by demonic cultivators! They've taken countless spirit stones and captured over a 100 of our outer sect disciples!" Luo Feng's eyes narrowed. "Prepare the flying shuttle. We leave immediately." As they soared through the clouds, Junior Sister Ling whispered, "Senior Brother, there are rumors... about the demon sect's young master obtaining an ancient demonic artifact." Luo Feng remained calm. "No matter what treasures they possess, the righteous path shall prevail." Below them, the canyon unfolded like a scar across the earth, pulsing with malevolent energy. Dozens of black-robed figures moved through the shadows, their laughter echoing off the stone walls. "Look!" cried 1 of the junior disciples. "They've set up a Blood Corruption Array!" Luo Feng raised his hand, gathering spiritual energy. "Stand back." The air crackled as he formed hand seals, the ancient symbols glowing with golden light. "Heavenly Thunder Judgment!" A bolt of pure energy struck the array, shattering the dark formation. The demonic cultivators stared in disbelief as their protection vanished. The leader, a man with crimson eyes, stepped forward. "So the famous Luo Feng has come. Let's see if you live up to your reputation!" He drew a wicked-looking blade—the Soul Devourer (Demonic Weapon). Their swords clashed in a shower of sparks, spiritual and demonic energies warping the space around them. Luo Feng moved with impossible grace, each strike precise and powerful. After nearly a 100 exchanges, he found an opening. "Returning Abyss Strike!" The Li Fire Sword flared with brilliant light, cleanly severing the demonic blade. The defeated cultivator collapsed, his demonic energy dissipating. "This... this isn't over! The demon sect will remember this!" As the remaining invaders fled, Luo Feng surveyed the freed captives. Nearly a 1000 spirit stones had been recovered, along with dozens of precious cultivation manuals. Elder Ming Zhen's voice came through the communication jade: "Well done, Luo Feng. But remember, this is only the beginning. Greater challenges await." Luo Feng looked toward the distant mountains where darker clouds gathered. He knew his journey had just begun, and the path ahead would test his cultivation to its limits. The ancient prophecy echoed in his mind—"When the stars align, the chosen 1 shall face the heavenly tribulation." But for now, he had disciples to protect and a sect to defend. The cultivation world waited, and Luo Feng would meet whatever came with sword steady and spirit unyielding.
