Chapter 1047 : A Quest for the Vast Sea Pearl

With this thought, Eldrin Chen gave a firm nod.

Regardless, the Heavenly Dragon Relic was a rare and divine object; it was indeed a journey he should undertake.

However, obtaining the Heavenly Dragon Relic ultimately depended on fate and affinity, and Eldrin Chen dared not guarantee he would succeed.

Thus, Eldrin Chen turned his gaze to Heavenly Feather Immortal and inquired, "Might I ask where the Vast Sea Divine Pearl is located now?"

"The Vast Sea Divine Pearl..."

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Feather Immortal pondered for a moment before finally speaking. "That Vast Sea Divine Pearl is also known as the Vast Sea Luminous Pearl. In truth, it is a supreme treasure of the Vast Sea Immortal Clam lineage, the overlords of the Glazed Sea."

"The Vast Sea Immortal Clam is a rare mythical variant. While their combat prowess is not formidable among peers of their realm, they possess the unique ability to nurture many precious treasures."

"The Vast Sea Luminous Pearl is a pearl nurtured by these immortal clams, said to also serve as a supreme treasure for nourishing a fetus."

As Heavenly Feather Immortal explained, Eldrin Chen gradually understood the origins of this Vast Sea Divine Pearl.

However, after finishing his explanation, Heavenly Feather Immortal's expression turned grave. "Although the Vast Sea Immortal Clam clan is a gentle-natured Spirit Race, they are quite wary of Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality through cultivation] from other races." Original English translation available at *audio-novel.com*.

"Even if you wish to seek them out and demand the Vast Sea Divine Pearl [a legendary pearl of immense power born from the ocean's depths], I fear success is far from guaranteed."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen felt his heart sink slightly.

Demon Immortals [powerful beings who have ascended from spiritual origins] transformed from Spirit Fish [fish imbued with spiritual energy], Spirit Shells [mollusks that have absorbed spiritual essence], spiritual plants, and other such Spiritual Objects [objects naturally saturated with spiritual energy] are mostly renowned for their gentle temperaments. However, many Immortals [ascended beings who have achieved immortality] have the habit of keeping Spirit Races [races of beings born from spiritual energy or objects] in captivity, which naturally breeds resentment among them.

If he were to approach them rashly, he likely would not be able to persuade them.

"What if we resort to force?"

As Eldrin Chen pondered this internally, he saw the Heavenly Feather Immortal shake his head and say, "Among the Vast Sea Immortal Clam [a venerable clan of divine mollusks] race, there exists an exceedingly rare variant, a divine shell of extraordinary lineage. Its power is immense, and its cultivation has long since reached the Earth Immortal Realm [the realm of an immortal deeply connected to the world's essence]."

"With your current level of cultivation..."

The Heavenly Feather Immortal shook his head once more, leaving the sentence unfinished.

Only then did Eldrin Chen understand. The Glazed Sea [a vast, crystalline ocean realm] occupied by the Vast Sea Immortal Clam was no less formidable than the Lingering Sun Sea [the Sea of the Setting Sun]. Within its depths lay a Glazed Blessed Land [a sanctified realm of pure, glazed essence], a power that commanded awe throughout the Western Essence Divine Abyss Sea [the Western Sea of Primordial Essence and Divine Depths].

"There is no need for concern, either."

At that very moment, Violet Flame Immortal Maiden suddenly spoke up.

Her gaze settled upon Eldrin Chen, thoughtful and contemplative, as she said, "In the past, on Green Chariot Island, I met several of your esteemed wives. One among them seemed to possess the form of a transformed immortal clam [a divine mollusk that has cultivated to take human form]."

"The Spirit Race [a race of beings born from spiritual energy or natural phenomena] are gentle by nature. While they may harbor some reservations towards Immortal [a being who has achieved immortality through cultivation] from other races, they are exceedingly kind to their own kin. You could take your esteemed wife on a journey to the Glazed Sea."

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Feather Immortal also smiled and added, "The Vast Sea Immortal Clam [a colossal, ancient clam demon beast] produces a considerable number of Vast Sea Divine Pearl [divine pearls cultivated by the Vast Sea Immortal Clam, prized for their spiritual properties]. It sells some every few years. I imagine it would be quite willing to lend aid to a fellow member of its race."

"Thank you for the advice."

Heart leaping with joy at these words, Eldrin Chen took out ten Immortal Source [a concentrated source of immortal-grade spiritual energy] and offered them, saying, "My gratitude for your guidance. Please accept this small token of my appreciation."

"We both have made our home in the Crimson Dragon Sea, sharing the same breath and branches, so to speak. There is no need for such expense between us."

Heavenly Feather Immortal shook his head firmly and pushed the Immortal Source back.

Before parting, he offered one final piece of advice with a smile, "If you still cannot find the divine material [a rare material imbued with potent spiritual properties] in these two places, do not be disheartened. A millennium from now, a Barter Convention [a grand gathering where cultivators trade rare treasures] will be held at the 'Flowing Stream Hundred Seas'."

"If you attend then, as long as you can offer a sufficient price, you will undoubtedly be able to purchase the treasure you seek."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen's eyes flickered with a subtle light. He promptly cupped his hands in a respectful salute and said, "Thank you for the reminder."

Having ascended for a millennium now, Eldrin Chen had gained a certain understanding of the surrounding Immortal Domain [a vast realm governed by immortal laws and inhabited by cultivators], and was no longer completely in the dark.

Within this Western Essence Divine Abyss Sea, there were as many as three thousand such sea regions, like the Crimson Dragon Sea and the Lingering Sun Sea.

Each sea region was composed of myriad island chains, and this Flowing Stream Hundred Seas was formed from over a hundred surrounding sea regions.

Within this Flowing Stream Hundred Seas, there were a total of eight Earth Immortal Blessed Land [sanctuaries of immense spiritual power, often the domain of Earth Immortal cultivators]. The rest were mostly overseen by Patriarchs at the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm [a transitional state just below the full Earth Immortal realm].

A very few, the weaker ones like the Crimson Dragon Sea, didn't even have a Patriarch at the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm. This chapter is provided by http://www . audio-novel.com. Support the original.

These well over a hundred sea regions together formed the Flowing Stream Hundred Seas, which held a grand Barter Convention [a large-scale gathering where cultivators trade rare treasures and resources] once every fifty thousand years.

For Immortals [beings who have transcended mortality through cultivation], this was a rare and grand occasion. Almost every time, Earth Immortal Patriarchs [powerful cultivators who have attained the Earth Immortal realm] would participate. Many treasures that were usually hard to come by would appear during that time.

As for whether one could purchase their desired treasure, it still depended on whether they could afford the price.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen felt a slight sense of reassurance settle in his heart. Since a Barter Convention of this caliber existed, he now had some confidence in acquiring the treasures he sought.

After all, the current Eldrin Chen possessed a fortune that could be considered quite substantial even among Immortal [beings who have transcended mortality through cultivation].

"I must still thank you, Fellow Daoist, for the information. In that case, I shall not impose any longer."

Anticipating that he might soon locate the treasure, Eldrin Chen felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

After bidding farewell to the two Immortal, he set off towards Green Chariot Mountain.

Heavenly Feather Immortal escorted Eldrin Chen beyond the Immortal Isles. Only after Eldrin Chen's figure vanished into the distance did he turn back, a thoughtful expression on his face, and say to Violet Flame Immortal Maiden:

"This Eldrin Chen has been an Immortal for barely over a thousand years, yet he managed to seize a great number of treasures from the ruins and reportedly even repelled the Crimson Dragon Child who came seeking him."

"It shows his opportunities, methods, and temperament are far beyond the ordinary. I fear he is no common creature destined to remain in a shallow pond."

Violet Flame Immortal Maiden's eyes remained calm as still water. After a moment, she nodded and said, "It is likely that within several hundred thousand years, the Crimson Dragon Sea will produce an Earth Immortal Patriarch [a patriarch who has attained the Earth Immortal realm, a higher state of immortal existence]."

Heavenly Feather Immortal seemed to recall something else and turned his gaze towards the nearby Wonderful Sound Lu. "What is your assessment of this man?" he asked.

"He..."

Wonderful Sound Lu's complexion was somewhat pale, and a flicker of hesitation colored her expression.

Pressing her lips together, ripples of Chaos swirled within her Dual Pupils. After a long silence, she finally spoke: "Vast as the abyss, deep as the sea, like the boundless starry sky, akin to the Great Thousand Universe."

"To my eyes, he is like an ant gazing at the heavens... unfathomable."

"..."

Eldrin Chen transformed into a streak of light and soared through the sky, arriving shortly after upon Green Chariot Island.

Seeing his return, his wives' faces lit up with excitement. Violet Consort Yan could not help but step forward and ask, "How did it go?"

"There were some gains."

Eldrin Chen nodded and produced the Soul-Enlightening Pearl [a mystical pearl said to nurture and enlighten the soul].

Seeing this, Lila's eyes brightened slightly. "Is this the Fetus-Nurturing Divine Substance [a legendary substance used to nourish and protect nascent life or spiritual foundations]?" she asked.

"Indeed. This is the Soul-Enlightening Pearl."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod and spoke immediately, "This Soul-Enlightening Pearl can open the eye apertures [the spiritual gateways in the body that grant special vision]. However, the specific type of divine eye that manifests ultimately depends on one's Creation [the innate potential and fortune bestowed by heaven and earth]."

Hearing this, the others also nodded in agreement.

Among the myriad divine eyes, each type is vastly different.

There are powerful divine eyes like the World-Opening Dual Pupils [eyes said to possess the power to cleave chaos and create worlds], the Illusion-Shattering Immortal Eyes [eyes that can see through all falsehoods and deceptions], and the Fiery Golden Eyes [eyes that blaze with solar fire and incinerate evil], as well as slightly weaker immortal pupils such as the Barrier-Breaking Divine Eyes [eyes that can perceive and unravel formations and barriers], the Evil-Slaying Violet Pupils [eyes that emit a purifying violet light lethal to malevolent beings], and the Violet Zenith Demonic Eyes [eyes that channel the power of the demonic zenith, granting profound insight into dark arts].

Each of these divine eyes possesses its own wondrous uses, and the potential they represent differs greatly.

For most, their latent power is exhausted upon reaching the Ascendant Immortal Realm [the realm of a true immortal, ascended from mortality]. Yet, powerful ones like the World-Opening Heavenly God Pupils [the ultimate divine eyes of creation, wielded by primordial deities] and the Fiery Golden Eyes have the potential to be cultivated all the way to the Earth Immortal [an immortal bound to and drawing power from the earth] and even the Celestial Immortal Realm [the realm of celestial immortals who reside in the heavens].

Furthermore, the innate Divine Ability [a supernatural power or technique] accompanying a divine eye can serve as a signature technique, even for cultivators who have reached the Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [the realm of a Golden Immortal whose power encompasses all within their domain].
