Chapter 1051 : The Glazed Palace's Divine Revelation

The identity of the visitor took Eldrin Chen completely by surprise.

The Glazed Blessed Land Lord standing before him was actually a transformed Seven-Colored Immortal Clam, possessing a natural talent nearly identical to that of Nyssa Qu.

The Master of the Glazed Palace possessed a graceful and slender figure. Clad in resplendent Glazed Nyssa robes, an aura of immense authority resided within her brows and eyes.

What Eldrin Chen did not know was that even as he was taken aback, the Master of the Glazed Palace was herself overcome with profound excitement.

"It truly is..."

The Glazed Blessed Land Lord fixed her gaze upon Nyssa Qu, and after a moment of careful scrutiny, a faint smile touched her lips.

A moment later, she collected her thoughts. Her eyes swept over Nyssa Qu's abdomen before she inquired, "What is your name?"

Nyssa Qu glanced at Eldrin Chen before offering a respectful bow. "This humble one is Nyssa Qu, paying respects to the Divine Lord."

"There is no need for such formality."

The Glazed Blessed Land Lord offered a slight smile, shaking her head with serene composure. Continue your cultivation journey at site: audio-novel.com.

The position of Divine Lord [a high-ranking divine title within the celestial bureaucracy] is one of considerable honor. Generally speaking, only a Celestial Immortal Great Power [a powerful immortal who has ascended to the celestial realm] is deemed worthy of receiving such a distinguished imperial conferment.

However, the Vast Azure Immortal Court [a regional branch of the celestial bureaucracy] is merely a subsidiary of the true Immortal Court [the supreme celestial administration governing the heavens]. It lies at an immense distance from the central authority, and most of its high-ranking officials are local cultivators. Therefore, there is naturally little need for excessive formality or concern.

Within the Vast Azure Immortal Domain [this specific region of the immortal realms], any cultivator who attains the Earth Immortal [an immortal whose power is anchored to the mortal world] realm and joins the Immortal Court will be granted the honorable title of Divine Lord.

Those supremely honored Celestial Immortal Great Power wield even greater influence within this branch of the Immortal Court. Each commands significant authority as a great general or marshal, leading legions of Celestial Soldiers and Generals [the celestial army under their command].

Yet, such prestige and power are confined solely to the borders of the Vast Azure Immortal Domain.

Once one steps beyond the Vast Azure Immortal Domain, with the exception of a select few Ancient Immortal [immortals of immense age and power], all others must effectively demote themselves by one rank. The great powers of the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the myriad realms of the immortal world] simply do not recognize these local titles.

Glazed Blessed Land Lord [the ruler of the Glazed Blessed Land] saw this reality with perfect clarity. She understood the hollow nature of her own Divine Lord title and took no particular pride in it.

She merely waved a hand, gesturing for the group to be seated. "I am Glazed Qu," she stated. "You may address me as Clan Matriarch Glazed."

Without waiting for their response, she turned her gaze towards Nyssa Qu and inquired, "I have not heard news of you before. I presume you are not from the surrounding seas?"

"This humble concubine..."

Nyssa Qu hesitated slightly, her gaze shifting towards Eldrin Chen.

Eldrin Chen understood that news of his ascension would be easily discovered with a little inquiry, so there was no need for concealment. He spoke directly, "My wife and I have only recently ascended to the Immortal Domain [a higher realm of existence for immortals]."

"Is that truly so?"

Upon hearing this, Glazed Qu's expression towards Eldrin Chen softened noticeably. "To bring your family with you upon ascension shows you possess both sentiment and integrity."

Eldrin Chen, holding Nyssa Qu's hand, smiled faintly. "How could I abandon the one who has shared my bed and board for millennia to ascend alone?"

Glazed Divine Lord nodded in agreement, then turned to Nyssa Qu. "It is fortunate you brought her with you. Had she attained immortality in the lower realm, there would have been no chance for remediation."

"What does the Divine Lord mean by that?"

Eldrin Chen was taken aback and pressed the question urgently.

The Glazed Divine Lord did not answer immediately. Instead, Moon Consort, standing nearby, spoke up. "Most of our Spirit Shell Clan [a race of beings with spiritual shell-like forms] possess ordinary, even inferior, innate talent, far less suited for a smooth Path [the journey of cultivation and enlightenment] than the Human Race."

"Yet among the myriad Spirit Shell [the spiritual essence or form of the Spirit Shell Clan], there exist rare variants, even those with foundations no weaker than the True Dragon [a legendary and supremely powerful dragon species]—the Mythical Immortal Seed [a legendary seed of immense potential for immortal cultivation]."

"Among these Spirit Shell [a type of spiritual mollusk] variants, four possess the most formidable innate talent: the Dawn Sun Shell [a spirit shell that draws power from the dawn sun], the Moon Goddess Shell [a spirit shell that draws power from the moon], the Stellar Shell [a spirit shell that draws power from the stars], and the Seven-Colored Immortal Clam [a mythical clam of seven radiant colors]."

As Moon Consort [the Second Elder, a being transformed from a Moon Goddess Shell] narrated the tale, Eldrin Chen gradually came to understand the mysteries of the Spirit Shell Clan [a clan of beings originating from spiritual shells].

Most members of the Spirit Shell Clan find their potential limited, shackled by their bloodline and unable to ascend to immortality. Only these four types of Spirit Shell possess the capability to achieve this feat.

The Seven-Colored Immortal Clam can attain immortality because it is itself a rare Mythical Immortal Seed [a primordial entity with boundless potential for growth], possessing limitless possibilities within its very nature.

The Dawn Sun Shell, Moon Goddess Shell, and Stellar Shell are slightly less potent, but they can absorb the power of the Sun and Moon [the celestial bodies of sun and moon] and Stellar [stellar; relating to the stars] forces, continuously refining and evolving their bloodlines, transforming from mere Spirit Shell into immortal clams.

If one were to obtain a treasure imbued with the power of the Sun and Moon or Stellar forces, there might even be a possibility of breaking through to the Earth Immortal [an immortal whose power is anchored to the earth] realm, or even to the Celestial Immortal [a higher tier of immortal dwelling in the heavens] realm.

And the four peerless immortal consorts before him were precisely the transformed manifestations of these four powerful Spirit Shell.

The Grand Elder Sun Consort [the Grand Elder, a being transformed from a Dawn Sun Shell] was the incarnation of a Dawn Sun Shell. Her bloodline had undergone continuous refinement from its original foundation, and her cultivation had already reached the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm [a state on the very cusp of becoming an Earth Immortal].

The Second Elder Moon Consort was the transformed form of a Moon Goddess Shell. Her cultivation was at the Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier [the ninth and highest tier of the Ascendant Immortal realm], marking her as a peerless prodigy with genuine hope of breaking through to Earth Immortal.

The Third Elder Star Consort [the Third Elder, a being transformed from a Stellar Shell] was the incarnation of a Stellar Shell. Her cultivation level was nearly on par with Moon Consort's, and her mastery over Stellar power ranked among the very best within this vast sea region.

As for the Glazed Divine Lord [a title for a powerful immortal being], she was the transformed form of the Seven-Colored Immortal Clam [a mythical clam of immense power and beauty]. Her cultivation had reached the Earth Immortal Realm [a high stage of immortality where one's foundation is tied to the earth], though which specific layer within the Earth Immortal [Earth Immortal stage] she occupied was beyond Eldrin Chen's current ability to discern.

However, she had cultivated within the Earth Immortal Realm for tens of millions of years. Legend spoke of her as a Third Tribulation Earth Immortal [an Earth Immortal who has survived three heavenly tribulations], and her strength was likely at least that of a Late Stage Earth Immortal [the advanced phase of the Earth Immortal realm].

After Moon Consort [a title for a lunar immortal consort] finished speaking, the Glazed Divine Lord finally spoke, her voice clear and resonant. "The Seven-Colored Immortal Clam is the supreme immortal seed of the Spirit Shell Clan [the race of spiritual clams and shells]. Yet, even above it, there may exist immortal shells of even greater potency."

"An immortal shell stronger than the Seven-Colored Immortal Clam?"

Eldrin Chen's expression shifted, a look of profound astonishment washing over his features.

The Glazed Divine Lord gave a slight nod. She sealed the surrounding void with her Path Principles Power [the power derived from comprehending the fundamental laws of the universe], then spoke with grave solemnity. "Many millions of years ago, our lineage of the Seven-Colored Immortal Clam once produced a peerless immortal maiden."

"She was born from the transformation of a Seven-Colored Immortal Clam. Later, she encountered a heaven-defying opportunity and met a noble patron of immense stature."

"That patron possessed the Path Ancestor Immortal Sage Potential [the potential to become a foundational sage of the immortal path]. He bestowed upon her an exceedingly precious treasure—the Primordial Energy of Heaven and Earth Polarity [the primordial essence representing the duality of heaven and earth]. This caused her foundational essence to undergo a metamorphosis, adding two more hues of divine light and transforming her into a Nine-Colored Immortal Shell [an immortal shell radiating nine colors, a legendary evolution].

"A Nine-Colored Immortal Shell?"

Eldrin Chen was utterly staggered, his heart roiling with immense shock at this revelation.

The Primordial Energy of Heaven and Earth Polarity [the foundational energy born from the separation of primordial chaos into heaven and earth] is an incomparably precious substance. It only manifests when a Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [the highest realm of immortal cultivation] breaks through and carves out a vast Immortal Domain [a personal realm or world created by an immortal].

When a Great Encompassing Golden Immortal carves out an Immortal Domain within the Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation], the nascent world undergoes a sequence of transformations known as the 'Innate Five Ultimates' [the five supreme primordial substances], giving birth to these five peerless materials, along with numerous invaluable Innate Heavenly God Object [primordial objects of divine nature].

Among these divine treasures, the 'Primordial Energy of Heaven and Earth Polarity' ranks as one of the most precious, its marvels not inferior to the Innate Five Ultimates themselves.

Furthermore, when an ordinary Great Encompassing Golden Immortal breaks through and forges their Immortal Domain, the quantity of these Innate [primordial] substances they obtain is exceedingly meager. The total gathered is often only sufficient to elevate one or two Innate Spiritual Treasure [primordial enchanted artifacts]. Who would be willing to part with such treasures for another's use?

For a treasure so peerless that even Great Encompassing Golden Immortal covet it, if a sufficient quantity could be amassed to forge a Nine-Colored Immortal Shell [a mythical clam with a shell of nine colors], it seems unexpected, yet upon reflection, it appears perfectly logical.

Eldrin Chen was inwardly astounded. This was the first time he had heard such a profound secret, and his mind momentarily drifted in contemplation.

Glazed Divine Lord [a title for a powerful immortal lord] also wore an expression of yearning as he continued, "That Nine-Colored Immortal Shell is unprecedented since antiquity, possessing a foundation and innate talent on par with a Great Encompassing Golden Immortal."

"In the mere span of a few million years of cultivation, its cultivation base broke through to the realm of Great Encompassing Golden Immortal." Official source: audio–novel.com. Unauthorized reproduction is prohibited.
