Chapter 1050 : A Father's Vow and a Celestial Legacy

"It can be considered a perfect success."

Eldrin Chen nodded, then bid farewell to Empty Vision Enlightened One and the others, departing from the Empty Clarity Temple.

After leaving the Empty Clarity Temple, Eldrin Chen informed Nyssa Qu about the matter concerning his Karma [the spiritual principle of cause and effect governing one's destiny].

Upon hearing this, Nyssa Qu grew somewhat worried, her brow furrowing as she said, "To be born bearing such Karma... I fear this child will face great trials in the future."

"There is no need for concern."

Eldrin Chen shook his head, his voice filled with unwavering resolve. "As his father, if our son truly faces tribulations, I will not stand idly by."

"You are right."

Nyssa Qu nodded upon hearing his words, a sigh of relief escaping her lips.

Such was the truth of this Immortal Domain [a realm inhabited by immortal beings]. Here, possessing sufficient strength meant you could become the most steadfast pillar of support for those around you.

Regardless, the Heavenly Dragon Relic [a sacred artifact containing the essence of a celestial dragon] represented a monumental opportunity. Using such a treasure to nourish the unborn child would undoubtedly result in a prodigy of unparalleled talent. Achieving the Earth Immortal [an immortal whose power is anchored to the mortal world] or even the Celestial Immortal [a true immortal who transcends the mortal plane] realm would be well within his grasp.

It was precisely for this reason that the Ancient Temple of Empty Clarity was willing to pay any price to nurture it for hundreds of thousands of years, and Clear Enlightenment Buddha was likely willing to seclude himself for hundreds of thousands of years, chanting sutras and offering prayers for it day and night.

This is a supreme object imbued with great Merit [a metaphysical "currency" representing good karma or virtuous deeds] and profound Buddhist Dharma. To encounter it and not make use of it would be a profound waste.

Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Eldrin Chen spoke again, "Now that we have obtained the Heavenly Dragon Relic, our next step should be to journey to the Glazed Sea to seek a treasure for your child."

"My child..."

Upon hearing this, Nyssa Qu instinctively touched her abdomen, a look of profound happiness gracing her features.

Feeling a touch of nervousness, she tightly grasped Eldrin Chen's hand and said, "I will follow my husband's lead."

"..."

The Immortal Domain was vast and boundless, with distances between its various seas immeasurably vast.

The two of them traversed the Heavenly Demon Sea and continued their flight towards the Glazed Sea. The journey consumed a full eight months before they finally crossed the two sea regions and arrived within the Glazed Sea.

Upon reaching the Glazed Sea, their expressions unconsciously grew solemn.

This Glazed Sea differed from the previous sea regions; it was home to a supreme Demon Immortal of the Earth Immortal Realm [a realm of cultivation where one's power is deeply connected to the earth and its energies].

While the previous seas all had Patriarch [a venerable leader of a clan or sect] of the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm [a transitional state just below the full Earth Immortal Realm] overseeing them, they could not instill true fear in Eldrin Chen.

After all, even the most powerful among Half-Step Earth Immortal Patriarch could likely only barely contend with a Patriarch at the Early-stage Earth Immortal [the initial phase of the Earth Immortal Realm].

Eldrin Chen felt that with his own strength, facing an ordinary Half-Step Earth Immortal, even if he could not defeat them, he still had some confidence in preserving his life.

But against a true Earth Immortal Patriarch, Eldrin Chen had no such assurance whatsoever.

In contrast, Nyssa Qu seemed slightly more at ease. She took Eldrin Chen's hand and said, "Husband, do not worry. My Spirit Shell Clan [a clan of beings with spiritual, shell-like forms] has always been gentle in nature; they most likely will not attack you."

"And with me here, they should not harm you."

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen nodded, suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, and then continued flying toward the heart of the Glazed Sea.

After a journey of several days, they arrived before an exquisitely beautiful shallow sea.

To call it exquisite was no exaggeration. This was a sea of modest depth, its waters filled with countless points of starlight that shimmered within the crystal-clear depths, creating an illusion of being adrift within a resplendent starry sky.

"The Seven-Colored Glazed Sea [a legendary sea famed for its crystalline waters and shimmering, multi-hued seabed],"

Eldrin Chen murmured, recognizing the name of this sea.

Within this Seven-Colored Glazed Sea, the seabed was strewn with all manner of exceedingly rare immortal ores and spiritual minerals. As no one had mined them for countless years, and the immortal clams continuously nourished the world, the accumulated spiritual ores grew ever more abundant.

Finally, after tens of millions of years of accumulation, this vast, seemingly endless Blessed Land [a region of profound spiritual energy and natural wonders] known as the Seven-Colored Glazed Sea was formed.

It could be said that this Seven-Colored Glazed Sea was a land where treasures lay scattered everywhere. For many years, even numerous Earth Immortal Patriarch [powerful cultivators who have ascended to the Earth Immortal realm] were deeply tempted, and many formidable powers coveted it greatly.

Fortunately, within this Glazed Sea, there resided a powerful Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has attained the Earth Immortal realm, a master of profound power] who had lived for tens of millions of years, serving as its guardian. Visit audio novel.com to enjoy the complete series.

Moreover, this Earth Immortal was a Divine Lord [a title of high honor and authority bestowed by the celestial court] officially appointed by the Vast Azure Immortal Court [the supreme celestial administration governing the immortal realms]. His strength and status were not to be underestimated, which was how he managed to protect this Earth Immortal Blessed Land.

"Who approaches? How dare you trespass into the Glazed Sea?"

Just as Eldrin Chen was marveling, a sharp, reprimanding voice suddenly rang out.

A woman draped in a light veil materialized in the void, stepping through the air to appear before the group.

"Late Ascendant Immortal Realm [the final stage of the Ascendant Immortal cultivation realm], this aura... it seems to be a Moon Goddess Shell [a rare and powerful type of spirit clam] that has taken human form."

Eldrin Chen felt a jolt of surprise, instantly recognizing the true nature of the being before him.

He exchanged a glance with Nyssa Qu, and their shared understanding was confirmed without a word.

The Moon Goddess Shell was a rare and exceptional variant of Spirit Shell [a type of spiritual mollusk], a being of extraordinary innate talent and immense latent potential.

Nyssa Qu's own mother had been a rare Moon Goddess Shell, possessing formidable potential and supreme talent, though she had ultimately perished in the battle to slay the nine-headed demonic dragon of the Nine Dragons Pool.

In their early years, Eldrin Chen and Nyssa Qu had cultivated using the Moon Goddess Pearl [a precious pearl left by her mother], and thus were intimately familiar with its unique aura. They recognized the true form of this Spirit Shell at a single glance.

Because of this shared history, they both felt an inexplicable sense of kinship towards the Demon Immortal [an immortal who has ascended from the demonic path] before them.

Eldrin Chen clasped his hands in a respectful salute and spoke courteously, "I am Eldrin Chen. My visit here is presumptuous, but I come seeking a treasure for my wife."

"Your wife?"

The Demon Immortal's gaze flickered with momentary confusion before settling on Nyssa Qu, who had not yet ascended to immortality.

With but a single glance, the woman's expression shifted subtly, a flicker of recognition and uncertainty crossing her features. "Your true form," she inquired, her voice measured, "could it be a Seven-Colored Immortal Clam [a legendary mollusk whose shell radiates with the hues of the seven celestial lights]?"

Nyssa Qu glanced towards Eldrin Chen. Receiving his slight nod of confirmation, she offered a graceful curtsy. "Indeed, honored one," she replied, "this humble one's original form is that of a Seven-Colored Immortal Clam who has achieved human manifestation."

"As I suspected."

A spark of genuine delight flashed within the woman's pupils, softening her entire demeanor. She inclined her head towards the pair. "I am Moon Consort [a title denoting her high status and connection to lunar essence]," she announced, her tone now cordial, "the Second Elder of the Glazed Sea [a vast, crystalline underwater realm]."

"So it is the esteemed Immortal Maiden Moon Consort. We pay our respects."

Eldrin Chen gave a respectful nod of acknowledgment. As he did, he sensed the profound power radiating from Moon Consort. Her cultivation had reached the Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier [the pinnacle stage before transcending to a higher state of being], a level of strength that likely rivaled even that of the formidable Crimson Dragon Child.

Noting their deference, Moon Consort gestured gracefully. "Please, follow me."

"We are in your debt."

After exchanging the customary courtesies, the two visitors fell into step behind Moon Consort as she led them deeper into the heart of the Glazed Sea.

Before long, they arrived at the entrance to a magnificent, opulent structure nestled upon the ocean floor—the Glazed Palace [the central palace of the Glazed Sea, crafted from enchanted, translucent crystal].

After Moon Consort led them into this place, before Eldrin Chen could even speak, she rose and said, "Please wait here. I shall go and request the Patriarch to come and meet you."

"This..."

Watching Moon Consort depart, the two of them could not help but feel somewhat bewildered.

They had merely come to exchange for a single item to nourish a pregnancy, yet the other party was summoning an Earth Immortal Patriarch. This far exceeded Eldrin Chen's expectations.

Moreover, they had not even stated their purpose, yet the other side had immediately gone to fetch the Patriarch. It seemed somewhat irregular.

"Moon Consort's reaction is off."

Eldrin Chen murmured quietly, then looked at Nyssa Qu with a hint of uncertainty. "Her haste in leaving... it seems to be because of you?"

"Because of me?"

Nyssa Qu was also puzzled, seemingly unable to grasp the attitude of the Immortal Clam Clan.

Regardless, judging by Moon Consort's demeanor, the Immortal Clam Clan appeared to be favorably disposed towards them, harboring no apparent ill intent.

With this thought, a measure of calm settled in their hearts, and they waited patiently.

They did not have to wait long before Moon Consort arrived, accompanied by three figures.

All the figures were women. One was draped in a Star Veil [a veil woven from starlight, offering concealment and subtle defensive properties], one shone with the brilliance of a bright sun, and the last was utterly unfathomable. Moreover, her aura seemed to be...

Eldrin Chen's expression shifted slightly as he exchanged a glance with Nyssa Qu.

"A Seven-Colored Immortal Clam [a legendary, divine clam whose shell radiates with the light of the seven colors, said to possess immense spiritual power]!" The complete novel can be found at http://www . audio-novel.com.
