Chapter 1053. The 2 Cave Heavens of Xiji(Place) and Shenyuan(Place)

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) felt a stir in his heart. The Solar Radiance Pearl could gather the power of the sun, while the Starlight Pearl could channel the radiance of the heavens—both were exceptionally rare treasures for cultivation.

If he could obtain it, it would likely bring immense benefits to his future cultivation.

Alas, he possessed but a single Yin-Yang Taiji Pill (Elixir), and the remaining treasures likely paled in comparison to this divine pill.

At this thought, Eldrin shook his head and said, "The Yin Yang Taiji Pill is exceedingly rare. I possess only 1 in my hand."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Star Maiden couldn't help but feel disappointed. The Yin Yang Taiji Pill would not only benefit Moon Maiden significantly, but would also be quite useful to her. Yet unexpectedly, there was only a single pill.

At this thought, a trace of regret flickered in her heart, yet she nodded and said, "Such elixirs are indeed expected to be challenging to refine. Should you manage to acquire more, you may seek me at the Glazed Sanctuary."

Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod and said with a smile, "Once I return, I shall gather the spiritual herbs to refine 2 batches."

"However, this is a superior-grade immortal pill, and its refinement process is quite challenging. I cannot guarantee a successful outcome."

That being said, Eldrin knew full well this was a deal with guaranteed returns.

Both the Pure Sun Fruit and the Mystic Yin Flower required for the Yin-Yang Taiji Elixir were not overly demanding. These 2 spiritual herbs were relatively common in nature, with the only drawback being their difficulty in transforming into the ranks of immortal-grade.

Within his spirit herb garden, there remained a few more stalks of these 2 aged herbs. After successfully advancing his cultivation, he could refine several more batches of pills.

Unfortunately, once those few aged herbs were depleted, acquiring immortal-grade Pure Sun Fruits and Mystic Yin Flowers would depend entirely on luck and connections.

After all, both the Pure Sun Fruit and the Profound Yin Flower were merely sixth-grade spirit herbs. Those capable of metamorphosing into the immortal realm were exceptionally rare, making them virtually unattainable treasures for him at this stage.

"You have the heart, and that is enough."

With those words, Star Princess said no more.

The group continued forward, unwittingly arriving at the heart of the treasure vault.

The Glazed Divine Lord halted his steps and, with a flick of his sleeve, summoned 3 radiant treasures into his grasp before unveiling them before the crowd.

"This is!"

Eldrin focused his gaze and saw that within the 3 beams of treasure light lay 3 miraculous objects.

There lay 3 objects: a resplendent sword embryo, a 7-colored Lyra (Person Name) jade stone, and a divine pearl emanating a hazy luminescence. Each seemed to contain within it a light capable of startling the heavens.

Before Eldrin could even voice his question, the Glazed Divine Monarch spoke with an air of detached calm, "The treasury holds no shortage of fetal-nurturing treasures, yet the most precious among them are but these 3."

"Senior, I seek your guidance."

Observing the 3 treasures before him, Eldrin (Person Name) remained exceptionally cautious. Having only recently arrived in the immortal realm, his knowledge paled in comparison to the breadth of Lady Liuli’s (Person Name) experience, and thus he dared not make a hasty choice.

Nodding slightly, the Glazed God looked upon the sword embryo and said, "This sword embryo is named the Violet Lightning Sword Embryo. It contains the power of heavenly thunder and lightning, and was originally a companion spiritual treasure of a supreme acquired deity."

"Later, that deity was slain in its cradle before it could even be born into this world. This companion spiritual treasure it left behind passed through many hands before ultimately falling into mine."

"This is a supreme immortal treasure. Once this object is used as a nourishing treasure during pregnancy, the innate foundation at birth will be no weaker than that of top-tier postnatal deities, with the potential to reach the realm of Earth Immortality in the future."

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this. A supreme-grade immortal treasure as a prenatal nurturing treasure—such origins were truly astounding.

Once this object is refined, the fetus would be like a deity of the heavens, with an innate supreme treasure accompanying the birth of its immortal form. It would naturally possess the power of heavenly thunder and lightning, making its combat prowess top-tier among peers of the same realm.

However, Eldrin did not make an immediate choice, instead turning his gaze toward the other 2 treasures.

Seeing this, the Crystal Divine Monarch flicked his sleeve and produced a lustrous, rainbow-hued jade stone.

This object is named the 7-colored Immortal Lyra (Person Name), also known as the 7-hued Lyra (Person Name) Jade.

This artifact can assist the fetus in opening its Heart Aperture. Once refined, the child will be born with the innate 7 Apertures Lyra (Person Name) Heart.

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) was inwardly shaken, his face instantly revealing an expression of astonishment.

Nothing more, just the 5 words "7 Apertures Lyra Heart" alone represent the most supreme innate talent.

This was the most supreme immortal aptitude, no less formidable than the Heaven-Splitting Dual Pupils or the Golden Eyes of Truth. Its wondrous applications were boundless, and it even gave rise to innate grand supernatural powers.

At this thought, Eldrin nearly chose the 7-Aperture Lyra Heart.

Yet he suppressed the thought. There was still 1 item the Glazed Divine Lord hadn't mentioned—it wouldn't hurt to listen further.

Seeing that Eldrin (Person Name) was in no hurry to make a choice, the Glazed Divine Lord gave a slight nod.

She revealed the final divine pearl and spoke with serene composure, "This is the Canghai Divine Pearl."

"Divine Pearl of the Vast Sea?"

Upon hearing this, Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly.

His initial purpose for this journey was none other than the Oceanic Divine Pearl.

However, after witnessing the Violet Lightning Sword Embryo and the Sevenfold Lyra Jade, Eldrin had already changed his mind.

After all, the Violet Lightning Sword Embryo was a supreme-grade immortal treasure, and the Sevenfold Lyra (Person Name) Jade was a peerless treasure of Earth Immortal grade, while this Ocean Tear Divine Pearl before them was merely a high-grade immortal treasure.

Moreover, the Violet Lightning Sword Embryo (Magic Treasure) possesses unparalleled lethality in slaughter, while the Sevenfold Lyra (Person Name) Jade Concealment holds boundless potential—how could the Oceanic Divine Pearl possibly stand as their equal?

Yet the fact that Glazed Divine Maiden had now produced the Ocean Tear Divine Pearl came as a surprise to both Eldrin and Seraphina Qu.

Noticing the expressions on both their faces, the Glazed Divine Lord smiled faintly. "The Oceanic Divine Pearl is born from a Transcendent Realm immortal clam. Not only can it serve as nourishment for pregnancy, but it may also be used to refine immortal treasures."

"However, this item is primarily used for nurturing the fetus, so it's rarely employed to refine immortal treasures."

Lord Liuli spoke with measured grace, having elucidated the profound mysteries of the Ocean Tear Divine Pearl. "You must be wondering," she continued, "why I would present this treasure, when it clearly falls short of the Sevenfold Lyra Jade and the Violet Lightning Sword Embryo?"

"Your guidance would be greatly appreciated, Senior."

Eldrin nodded and spoke with exceptional courtesy,

A faint smile graced Glazed Immortal Lord's lips before his gaze sharpened. "If 1 Ocean Tear Pearl falls short, what of 3? 9? Or even a dozen?"

"This..."

Eldrin's heart quivered, and he couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, "The Ocean God Pearl—can multiple pearls be refined together and simultaneously serve as nourishment for the fetal essence?"

"So it is."

Numinous Glaze nodded slightly and continued, "With just 3 Ocean-Divine Pearls refined in unison, their potency would rival that of a supreme-grade immortal treasure."

"Refining 6 or 9 would already rival the Sevenfold Lyra Jade, and should 1 refine 12..."

Glazed God Monarch’s voice paused briefly. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke, “The Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea holds 2 Grotto-Heavens. 1 is the Western Qi Grotto-Heaven, and the other is the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven.”

Within these 2 grotto-heavens resided peerless Celestial Immortals whose might shook the world—the paramount existences of the Qingcang Immortal Domain.

Over 20 million years ago, when the Supreme Elder of the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven was with child, this venerable 1 presented 30-6 Oceanic Divine Pearls.

"It is said that the fetus successfully refined 12 of them, and later broke through to the Celestial Immortal realm, becoming the master of the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven."

A Heavenly Immortal powerhouse?

Upon hearing this, Eldrin's expression abruptly shifted with visible shock.

Nurturing the fetus with 12 Sea-Calming Pearls, ultimately forging peerless natural talent and breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm in 1 fell swoop—what astonishing foundational endowment this was.

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 1: The Azure Cloud Sect's Disciple Recruitment The mountain peaks pierced the heavens like emerald swords, shrouded in swirling mist where spiritual energy coalesced into visible auroras. Countless cultivators rode flying swords and magical treasures, cutting through the clouds toward the main summit of Azure Cloud Mountain. Lin Xuan stood among the bustling crowd at the foot of the mountain, his plain blue robes fluttering in the spiritual breeze. At merely 16 years of age, he had traveled 30 1000 miles from his mortal village to participate in the Azure Cloud Sect's decennial disciple selection. "Next!" The deacon's voice echoed with spiritual pressure, causing the crowd to quiet instantly. Lin Xuan stepped forward onto the Testing Jade Platform, placing his palm upon the crystalline surface. A brilliant golden pillar erupted skyward, causing even the presiding elder to widen his eyes. "Golden Core realm potential!" The elder's voice trembled slightly. "What is your name, young man?" "Lin Xuan, honored elder." He bowed respectfully, though his heart raced with excitement. This was his chance to change his destiny. The elder nodded gravely. "Proceed to the Illusory Spirit Pagoda for the final trial. Remember, only those who reach the third level will be accepted as inner sect disciples." As Lin Xuan moved toward the shimmering pagoda, he noticed a young woman in moon-white robes watching him intently. Her gaze felt like ice piercing through his very soul. "Fellow cultivator," she spoke softly, yet her voice carried clearly through the noise. "The Illusory Spirit Pagoda tests not only cultivation but heart. Beware the inner demons." Before Lin Xuan could respond, she turned and vanished into the crowd like morning mist. He stored the warning in his heart and stepped through the pagoda's glowing entrance. Inside, the world transformed. Endless stairs stretched upward into darkness, while ghostly whispers echoed from all directions. Lin Xuan took a deep breath and began his ascent, each step heavier than the last as spiritual pressure mounted. On the second level, illusions of treasure and power tempted him, but he walked past without hesitation. On the third, visions of lost loved ones brought tears to his eyes, yet he persevered. When he finally emerged 7 hours later, his robes were torn and bloodied, but his eyes shone with triumph. He had reached the fifth level - a feat unmatched in recent memory. The presiding elder himself approached, a rare smile gracing his weathered features. "Lin Xuan, from this day forward, you shall be my personal disciple. This Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss shall be your first magical treasure." The crowd erupted in murmurs as the elder presented the glowing sword. Lin Xuan accepted it reverently, knowing his journey had only just begun. Somewhere in the distance, he felt that same icy gaze watching him, but now it carried a hint of something new - acknowledgment. Little did he know that within 3 years, this recognition would transform into deadly enmity that would shake the very foundations of the cultivation world.
