Chapter 1052. Glazed Treasure Vault

"Alas, the noble 1 later perished while attempting the breakthrough to the realm of Dao Ancestor and Immortal Sage. Not long after, the 9 Radiance Immortal Lord also underwent celestial ascension."

"Passed away in meditation?"

Eldrin's face flickered with a trace of surprise, sensing that some great terror lay hidden behind it all.

That was a Great Luo Golden Immortal, a being on par with an Immortal Lord even within the Celestial Court. How could such an existence pass away seated in meditation for no reason at all?

Moreover, that being who was qualified to challenge the Dao Ancestor and Celestial Sage was likely among the most elite even among the Great Luo Golden Immortals. The fact that they perished while attempting this ascension is highly suspicious.

This is likely far from simple.

At this level, Eldrin dared not dwell on it further and simply asked, "Since the senior has already passed away, what is the meaning of telling us this?"

"It naturally holds significance."

Shaking her head, the Glazed Goddess spoke with a grave expression, "Though the immortal master of old has passed into eternal slumber, they left behind a legacy for ascending to the 9 Radiances."

"But this legacy comes with a condition."

Glazed Immortal Lord spoke, his gaze settling upon Seraphina Qu (Person Name), a smile blooming across his face as he said, "Only the 7-Colored Immortal Clam is worthy of ascension, and it must be 1 that has not yet attained immortality."

"Only by harnessing the primordial immortal energy at the very moment of ascension could there be a sliver of possibility for success."

"So that's how it is."

Eldrin finally understood why they had been so ecstatic after meeting Seraphina Qu.

It turned out that Seraphina Qu (Person Name) was a 7-Colored Immortal Clam, and moreover, 1 who had yet to ascend to immortality—making her the perfect candidate to advance into a 9-Colored Immortal Clam.

At this thought, Eldrin immediately bowed and said, “I humbly seek your guidance, Senior.”

"There's no need for this."

Qu Liuli helped the 2 to their feet, her smile fading as she said, "The birth of the 9-Colored Immortal Clam is pivotal to the resurgence of our Spirit Clam Tribe. I am willing to assist you."

"However, I do have 1 condition."

Eldrin exchanged a glance with Seraphina Qu, a faint understanding of Kaelin’s intentions dawning within him. Without hesitation, he inquired, “Divine Sovereign, I implore you to enlighten us.”

“嗯！”曲琉璃点了点头，而后开口说道：“昔日那位贵人，以先天阴阳始炁，助七彩仙贝晋升成功。”

Although the method imparted by the Immortal Lord was simpler, it still required the Primordial Yin-Yang Qi of an Earth Immortal-level existence.

"This object is of immense value even to This Seat, and naturally, presenting it comes at no small cost."

At this point, her voice paused briefly as her gaze swept over the 2 figures. "After Seraphina Qu (Person Name) achieves her breakthrough, she shall become the future Clan Lord of our Glazed Sea Realm."

"And for her safety, she must not leave the Glazed Sea until she breaks through to the Earth Immortal realm."

Upon hearing this, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) instinctively tightened her grip on Eldrin (Person Name)'s hand.

The Glazed Sea and the Crimson Dragon Sea were separated by an immense distance—a single round trip required nearly 2 years.

Once she agreed to his request, she would likely spend far less time with Eldrin than together. At least until Eldrin broke through to the Earth Immortal realm, they might only meet once every few 100 or even a 1000 years.

Moreover, this period was likely to persist for tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of years.

At this thought, her heart ached with reluctance. She shook her head and said, "Could you allow me to return to the Crimson Dragon Sea? My husband will surely ensure my safety."

"No."

Qu Liuli shook her head resolutely, her expression unwavering as she declared, "The 9-Glory Immortal Shell is of paramount importance. If discovered, even Celestial Immortals would covet it."

"You must cultivate at least to the Earth Immortal realm to barely conceal your aura. Otherwise, those Earth Immortals would see through your origins with but a single glance."

At this point, Qu Liuli (Person Name), unwilling to provoke Seraphina Qu (Person Name) further, softened her expression and said, "Should you choose to remain in the Glazed Sea, I would even be willing to nurture the child in your womb with my most precious treasures."

"Seraphina Qu." Seeing her hesitation, Eldrin finally resolved, "If love between both sides can last for aye, why need they stay together night and day?"

"Though I have already attained immortality, the road ahead is still long."

"If you can break through to the Great Luo Realm, untouched by the myriad kalpic tribulations, only then shall we have eternal companionship."

Seraphina Qu's eyes reddened slightly as she quietly grasped Eldrin's hand. "I'll follow your lead," she said softly.

Hearing this, Qu Liuli finally revealed a smile. She rose to her feet and nodded, "In that case, come to my treasure vault and select a fetal-nurturing divine artifact."

Several individuals trailed behind the Eldrin, soon arriving within the treasure vault.

Eldrin had just stepped into the treasure vault when the sight before him captivated his eyes, leaving him utterly awestruck for a moment.

Seeing this, Riji smiled faintly. "Within the Flowing Rivers and 100 Seas, there are a total of 8 Earth Immortal blessed lands."

"Among these 8 blessed lands, our Glazed Sea ranks only second in strength, yet when it comes to treasures, we undoubtedly claim the foremost position."

Eldrin finally felt a trace of reassurance in his heart, roughly grasping the extent of Glazed Sea's wealth.

The Spirit Clam Clan excels at nurturing treasures, birthing divine pearls and immortal clams that are all supreme, peerless treasures. They can even artificially cultivate blessed lands.

Under their transformative influence, the Glazed Sea gave birth to innumerable immortal-grade ores and countless coral-formed celestial treasures, revealing the staggering wealth contained within its crystalline depths.

Eldrin walked through the treasury and found immortal treasures and rare artifacts scattered all around, many of which had reached the middle or lower grades of the immortal realm.

Until he reached the core area, Eldrin’s footsteps faltered slightly.

Yue Ji followed his gaze and saw a divine pearl resembling the bright moon. A faint smile graced her lips as she said, "That is the Moon God Pearl (Spiritual Object) I conceived some years ago. It can assist cultivators in their practice."

"If you desire it, you may exchange it with immortal treasures."

Eldrin steadied his mind, knowing that this Moon God Pearl could gather the essence of moonlight, accelerating a cultivator's cultivation speed.

In his past, when Eldrin was at the Nascent Soul stage, he had cultivated using this pearl as an auxiliary treasure. Now, even though he had already attained immortality, this top-grade Moon God Pearl could still increase his cultivation speed by 50 percent.

If it were refined into an auxiliary immortal treasure, the effects might be even better.

At this thought, Eldrin gritted his teeth and still took out the Yin Yang Taiji Pill.

"I am willing to exchange this item for the Moon God Pearl (Spiritual Object)."

Yue Ji glanced over, her eyes involuntarily gleaming with faint brilliance. Her cultivation had already reached the peak of the Ninth Heaven Ascension Realm, and her immortal essence had long ceased to grow for many years.

Yet this Yin Yang Taiji Pill could instantly provide a massive amount of immortal essence, perhaps enabling her to break through the bottleneck at the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm.

Though this hope was slim, it was still a glimmer of possibility. Most importantly, he had never seen this type of pill before—it seemed to be a unique elixir formula.

The first ingestion of such an immortal pill often yields miraculous effects, far surpassing those of same-tier pills taken repeatedly. If supplemented with other rare elixirs and divine treasures, there might truly be a possibility of success.

At this thought, she nodded and said, "Then I shall exchange it with this item."

Having obtained the Moon God Pearl (Spiritual Object), Eldrin (Person Name) felt a surge of reassurance within. This treasure would serve as another aid in his future cultivation, significantly increasing his confidence in breaking through to the middle and late stages of Ascendant Immortal realm.

Witnessing this, Star Maiden, who stood nearby, calmly stated, "Within our Glazed Sanctuary, aside from the Moon God Pearl (Spiritual Object), we also possess the Solar Radiance Pearl and the Stellar Essence Pearl—all are invaluable treasures for cultivation."

"If you still possess this elixir, or have similar treasures, I might consider an exchange for Seraphina Qu's sake."

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 a jade platform overlooking the abyss, a young man in azure robes sat cross-legged, his breathing synchronized with the rhythm of the world. "Eldrin (Person Name)," an elder's voice echoed across the stone courtyard, "your mastery of the 9 Revolutions Profound Art has reached the 7th level. Yet the Heavenly Tribulation approaches." Eldrin opened eyes that shimmered with captured starlight. "Elder Ming (Person Name), I've prepared 15,000 spirit stones and 3 Barrier-Breaking Pills for the ordeal." The elder's staff tapped against moon-white marble. "The last disciple who attempted this consumed 28,000 spirit stones and still failed. The heavenly dao shows no mercy." Suddenly, spatial ripples tore through the tranquility. A figure materialized, crimson energy radiating from his form like a blood-soaked sunset. "Xue Lang (Person Name)," Eldrin whispered, fingers already tracing defensive sigils in the air. "The mighty Eldrin," the newcomer sneered, "still stuck at the Nascent Soul realm after 1 100 years? I've attained the Divine Transformation stage with merely 20-some years of cultivation." Eldrin's gaze remained unshaken as spiritual pressure began swirling around him. "Power gained through the Blood Devouring Art always demands its price, Xue Lang." With a roar that shook ancient pines, Xue Lang unleashed the Crimson Soul Banner (Magic Treasure). Darkness converged, swallowing the mountain's natural radiance. But Eldrin merely smiled, the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) materializing in his hand, its blade humming with primordial fire. "Some paths," Eldrin declared as flames danced along his fingertips, "should never be walked, regardless of how swift they appear." The 2 forces collided, painting the sky in violent hues of crimson and azure - a battle not merely between cultivators, but between fundamentally opposed understandings of the dao itself.
