Chapter 1054. 30-6 Ocean God Beads

Only then did he finally understand why the Glazed Paradise had stood unshaken through the ages.

This was not only because the Glazed Divine Mistress was immensely powerful, but also because the Abyssal Grotto-Heaven owed her a favor.

With the protection of a Heavenly Immortal powerhouse and cultivation at least at the late-stage Earth Immortal realm, Glazed Divine Lord could traverse the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea as she pleased.

At this thought, Eldrin took a deep, silent breath before asking, “Refining the Ocean Tear Pearl must also come with certain limitations, I presume?”

"You are quite clever."

The Glazed Goddess gave a slight nod, her expression serene as she spoke, "After all, the Oceanic Divine Pearl is a celestial treasure. If it could be refined without any conditions, it would defy the very order of heaven and earth."

"With an ordinary immortal bloodline, refining just 1 is enough to forge an immortal foundation, while refining 3 is sufficient to cultivate all the way to the 9th Layer of Ascendant Immortal realm."

However, to refine more, 1 must rely on their own foundation and potential, and even more so, on whether fate has destined them for it.

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this. If the master of the Divine Abyss Cave Heaven refined 12 of them and advanced all the way to the Celestial Immortal realm, then refining 20-4 would surely pave the path to the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage.

According to Glazed Spirit Lord, for a fetus to refine the Ocean Tear Divine Pearl, the primary requirement was affinity between their elemental attributes.

If the fetus possesses a fire spiritual root, which conflicts with the Oceanic Divine Pearl, then no matter how immense its potential, it could only refine 1 or 2 Oceanic Divine Pearls at most. Moreover, such refinement would ultimately damage its foundational constitution.

If the fetus possesses a Water Spirit Root, refining the Sea God Pearl would yield additional benefits, allowing the refinement of 3 Sea God Pearls.

If the fetus possessed profound innate talent and immense latent potential, it could refine 6, 9, or even more.

In the end, how much could be refined would depend on the fetus’s potential and destiny.

However, it is generally accepted that refining a dozen or so already signifies the makings of a Celestial Immortal, while refining 18 would undoubtedly place 1 among the pinnacle experts within the Celestial Immortal realm.

The former master of the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven refined 12 Oceanic Divine Pearls.

Using 12 Ocean God Pearls as his foundation, he forged a set of innate supreme treasures—the "12 Primordial Stars Pearls." A single strike from this strand of divine pearls could force even a mighty Celestial Immortal to bleed, making his strength formidable enough to command respect among Celestial Immortals.

Glimmer Divine Monarch spoke in a measured tone, her gaze settling upon the fetus within Seraphina Qu (Person Name)'s womb as she said:

"The Sea God's Pearl was originally nurtured by our Immortal Clam tribe. The unborn child in Seraphina Qu (Person Name)'s womb carries the bloodline of the Immortal Clam, making it exceptionally compatible with the Sea God's Pearl. Refining this pearl might yield miraculous effects."

"And if my eyes do not deceive me, this child should possess a Water Spirit Root."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin and Seraphina Qu couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

A Water-attributed Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), while making immortality nearly unattainable in the mortal realm, ceases to be a hopeless path when nurtured with prenatal treasures in the immortal realm.

However, all fetal-nurturing treasures are celestial rarities. Unless they are children of immortals like them, ordinary cultivators have virtually no chance to use them.

After all, in the path of immortal cultivation, 1’s origins are often the most crucial. With parents of immortal rank paving the way, 1 inherently surpasses mortals, reaching the very end of the immortal ascension journey from the very beginning.

A mere mortal must hack through thorns and thistles, undergoing continuous metamorphosis of self. Only after reaching the ninth layer of the Nascent Soul stage would 1 qualify to stand as their equal.

Whether 1 could make the ultimate leap depended on their foundation, state of mind, and fate.

As parents, the 2 naturally wished to pave the way for their child.

Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) couldn't help but ask, "I wonder how many Oceanic Divine Pearls my child can refine?"

"I'm not sure either."

"He possesses the bloodline of the Immortal Shell and has the innate talent of a Water Spirit Root. I believe he can refine at least 6, perhaps even 9 or more."

"As for how much he can ultimately refine, that will depend on his potential and destiny."

Shaking her head, the Glazed Divine Monarch pondered for a moment before turning her gaze to Eldrin and saying, "Moreover, this child’s father possesses the potential of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. The inherited potential he passed down is likely not insignificant."

Eldrin’s heart trembled upon hearing this, finally realizing that he had long been seen through by the Glazed Divine Lord.

However, upon careful reflection, it was to be expected. Although he had been concealing his aura since attaining immortality, his simultaneous cultivation of the immortal body, laws, and Dao Fruit naturally set him apart from ordinary people.

Lord Liuli's cultivation base was at least 1 major realm higher than his, so it was only natural that she could see through him at a glance. However, if it were an immortal of the same realm trying to see through him, it would not be so easy.

The reason Glazed Immortal Lord treated him so favorably was likely not solely due to Seraphina Qu (Person Name), but also because she recognized his exceptional talent and potential.

After all, if he were in that position and encountered a junior with such peerless talent, he would likely offer some benefits to foster goodwill—provided there was no enmity between them.

If there was enmity between them or if he was the son of an enemy, then the only choice was to strike first.

However, this also put Eldrin on high alert. Although the Glazed Divine Lord was gentle in temperament this time, there was no guarantee that all immortals were noble-hearted. Should he encounter an eccentric Earth Immortal with malicious intent who sought to strike him down, the situation would turn perilous.

"Husband, which 1 should we choose?"

Seraphina Qu felt a flicker of delight, yet uncertainty lingered within her. Should she only refine 6 in the end, she feared it might still fall short of the 7-Aperture Lyra Heart.

However, Eldrin grasped Seraphina Qu's hand and said with unshakable composure, "Have faith in our child."

Excellent!

In the end, the 2 resolved to refine the Ocean God Pearl.

Seeing this, the Glazed Divine Monarch also gave a slight nod, as she too was inclined to refine the Oceanic Divine Pearl.

After deciding to refine the treasure, the Glazed Divine Sovereign summoned 30-6 Oceanic Divine Pearls and declared, "Legend has it that refining 30-6 Oceanic Divine Pearls is the absolute limit for this artifact."

"Yet throughout the ages, even the sons of Great Luo Golden Immortals have never achieved this feat. Most could only refine a dozen or so, and legends speak of but 1 who succeeded in forging 20-some."

"Today I brought it for a trial. Should too many remain, do not be disappointed. If you can refine a dozen or so, it would already be considered a heavenly surprise."

As they spoke, the group exited the treasury and brought Seraphina Qu (Person Name) to the secluded cultivation cavern.

The Glazed Divine Sovereign wished to personally assist Seraphina Qu (Person Name) in the refinement process, yet Eldrin (Person Name) shook his head and said, "I possess a pill formula known as the Primordial Divine Embryo Pill."

"By refining this elixir into the Ocean God Pearl, it might slightly ease the difficulty of refining the Ocean God Pearl."

"Oh?"

Her gaze flickering slightly, the Glazed Divine Lord nevertheless nodded. "I have also heard of that Innate Divine Embryo Elixir. It is indeed considered a supreme-grade formula."

"If refined, it might indeed yield some minor benefits. I'll leave the crafting to you."

After speaking, the Glazed Divine Lord handed over the 30-6 Oceanic Divine Pearls to Eldrin (Person Name).

Eldrin journeyed to the Sea God Pearl and immediately began secluded cultivation to refine the Innate Divine Embryo Elixir.

This innate divine fetus elixir, its refinement methods vary drastically depending on the primary spiritual herb used.

Once the Ocean God Pearl is refined by the fetus, it will exist as a congenital treasure. Therefore, it naturally cannot be transformed into a medicinal pill.

Using the Oceanic Divine Pearl as the primary ingredient, 1 must gather over a dozen spiritual herbs and refine them into the pearl to enhance its foundational essence and mystical properties.

Eldrin had prepared quite a few spiritual herbs for this journey, and the Glazed Paradise was astonishingly wealthy. With minimal effort, he gathered all the supplementary ingredients.

Eldrin stepped into the alchemy chamber and immediately began refining pills, infusing various spiritual herbs into the Abyssal Pearl to enhance its latent potential.

Just as the first Ocean God Pearl was about to be forged, Eldrin’s gaze steadied slightly. After confirming that no 1 was watching, he slowly exhaled a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi.

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 1: The Reborn Prodigy The biting cold pierced deep into the bones. Lin Xuan shuddered violently, his consciousness pulled back from the endless darkness. As he opened his eyes, what greeted him was a dilapidated thatched hut and the lingering, pungent smell of medicine. "This is... where am I?" Fragmented memories surged like tidal waves, merging with his own. He was now a 15-year-old youth sharing the same name, a disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect—or more accurately, a former disciple. 3 days ago, his spiritual roots were shattered by the Eldest Senior Brother, relegating him from a gifted genius to worthless trash. The sect expelled him without mercy, abandoning him in this remote mountain valley to await death. "Hah..." Lin Xuan struggled to sit up, a cold smirk tugging at his lips. "To think I, the grand Alchemist Sovereign of the 9 Heavens, would ever experience such humiliation." In his previous life, he had stood at the pinnacle of the cultivation world, only to fall victim to a conspiracy and meet a tragic end. Little did he expect to be reborn in this dying youth’s body. *Knock, knock—* The dilapidated wooden door was pushed open. A girl of 14 or 15 years old entered, her face lighting up with joy upon seeing him awake. "Brother Lin, you’re finally awake!" She wore coarse linen robes, her complexion slightly sallow, but her eyes were bright and clear like autumn water. In her hands, she carefully held a chipped ceramic bowl filled with black medicinal soup. "This is the Spirit Replenishing Decoction I begged from Elder Wang. It’ll help you recover faster," the girl said softly, blowing on the bowl before handing it to him. Lin Xuan recognized her—Xiao Yan'er, an orphan adopted by the sect. When he was at his peak, he had shown her a moment of kindness. Who would have thought she would be the only 1 to care for him now that he had fallen from grace? "Thank you." Lin Xuan took the bowl, his fingers accidentally brushing against hers. In that instant, a mysterious stream of information surged into his mind. [Name: Xiao Yan'er Constitution: Innate Yin Veins (dormant) Cultivation: None Potential Value: 9,800 Fate: Short-lived (will perish within 3 months)] Lin Xuan was stunned. He never expected the Divine Insight ability from his previous life to have been reborn with him, allowing him to see others’ innate constitutions and potential. The Innate Yin Veins were an extremely rare spiritual constitution, but if not awakened in time, they would devour the host’s vitality. No wonder the prophecy indicated she would die young. "What’s wrong, Brother Lin? Is the medicine too bitter?" Xiao Yan'er asked with concern, noticing his dazed expression. Lin Xuan shook his head, downing the medicinal soup in 1 gulp. A warm current spread through his limbs and bones, slightly easing his injuries. "Yan'er, do you trust me?" Lin Xuan looked into her eyes, his gaze deep and intense. "Of course I do!" the girl replied without hesitation. "Then, starting tonight, follow my instructions for meditation. It might save your life." A flicker of confusion passed through Xiao Yan'er’s eyes, but she nodded firmly. After seeing her out, Lin Xuan closed his eyes to inspect his condition. His dantian was in ruins, his meridians severed—a truly hopeless situation. But just as he was about to withdraw his consciousness, a blinding golden light suddenly erupted from the depths of his soul. A ancient, mysterious golden scroll slowly unfolded, emanating an aura of primordial majesty. "The Heavenly Codex of Creation!" Lin Xuan’s heart raced. This was the very treasure that had caused his downfall in his previous life. He never expected it to have merged with his soul. As the scroll unfurled, lines of golden text flowed like water: "The way of heaven diminishes the full and supplements the humble... Severed roots and shattered bones are but a return to the origin... When the great path is broken, the body becomes the furnace... Refine all things within, and creation shall be reborn..." The profound and obscure incantation echoed like the Hong Zhong Great Bell, each word shaking his soul. A completely new cultivation method emerged in his mind—it actually required shattering 1’s spiritual roots and destroying 1’s dantian as the foundation for practice! "This... this is simply tailor-made for my current situation!" Lin Xuan was both shocked and overjoyed. Without hesitation, he immediately began practicing according to the method. The surrounding spiritual energy surged toward him like a tidal wave, but unlike ordinary cultivation techniques, this spiritual energy did not gather in his dantian. Instead, it coursed through his limbs and bones, tempering every inch of his flesh and blood. Crack, crack— His body emitted a series of crisp, explosive sounds. The severe injuries that had plagued him began healing at a visible rate. An hour later, Lin Xuan opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them. He had not only fully recovered but had also officially stepped into the first level of the Creation Art—Body Refinement! Although his dantian remained shattered, he could now store spiritual power within every part of his body. This method was far more profound than any cultivation technique from his previous life. Just as he was about to continue his practice, angry shouts suddenly came from outside the door. "Trash! Get out here right now!" The wooden door was kicked open with a loud crash. Several figures swaggered in, led by a young man in a blue robe with a sinister expression. Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. He recognized this person—Zhao Kang, a lackey of the Eldest Senior Brother. His spiritual roots had been shattered by this very man 3 days ago. "What? Has the Eldest Senior Brother run out of patience and sent you to finish me off?" Lin Xuan said coldly. Zhao Kang was momentarily startled, surprised by Lin Xuan’s composure. Then he sneered, "A piece of trash like you isn’t worth the Eldest Senior Brother’s concern. I’m here on orders to collect the 3,000 spirit stones you owe the sect!" As he spoke, he took out a promissory note, indeed bearing Lin Xuan’s signature from his previous life. Lin Xuan’s face turned icy. He had indeed borrowed spirit stones from the sect, but it was only 300, not 3,000. Clearly, someone was trying to take advantage of his situation. "3,000 spirit stones? Could it be that the Eldest Senior Brother’s life is only worth that much?" Lin Xuan retorted sharply. Zhao Kang’s expression changed abruptly. "How dare you, trash, insult the Eldest Senior Brother! It seems your life isn’t worth much!" With a wave of his hand, the followers behind him drew their swords, their auras locking onto Lin Xuan. Just as the situation was about to escalate, a sudden, clear voice rang out: "Stop! Elder Wang has ordered that no 1 is to cause trouble here!" Xiao Yan'er rushed in, standing in front of Lin Xuan, her delicate body shielding him from the crowd. Zhao Kang frowned but did not dare act recklessly. Elder Wang was in charge of law enforcement, and he was not someone a mere outer sect disciple like him could provoke. He glared fiercely at Lin Xuan. "Trash, you’d better pray you can come up with 3,000 spirit stones in 3 days. Otherwise..." He made a throat-slitting gesture, then led his men away arrogantly. After they left, Xiao Yan’er turned around, her face full of worry. "Brother Lin, where are we going to get 3,000 spirit stones?" A mysterious smile played on Lin Xuan’s lips. "Don’t worry, I have a plan." His gaze fell on the medicine bowl nearby, a plan already forming in his heart. In his previous life, he was the Alchemist Sovereign. What was 3,000 spirit stones to him?
