Chapter 1052 : A Legacy of Nine Radiance

"Alas, later that esteemed figure failed in his attempt to break through to the realm of a Path Ancestor Immortal Sage [a supreme being who has mastered a Great Path and attained sagehood] and perished. Not long after, that Nine Radiance Immortal Lord also entered eternal meditation [a term for the peaceful passing of a high-level cultivator]."

"Eternal meditation?"

Eldrin Chen's expression shifted slightly with alarm, a profound sense of dread settling in his heart regarding the circumstances behind these events.

That was a Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [a pinnacle immortal whose power encompasses all creation]! Even within the Immortal Court [the celestial bureaucracy governing the immortal realms], such an entity would be considered an Immortal Lord-level existence. How could one simply enter eternal meditation without cause?

Furthermore, that being who was qualified to challenge the Path Ancestor Immortal Sage realm was likely among the very pinnacle even amongst Great Encompassing Golden Immortal. For such a figure to perish while attempting the breakthrough... that itself reeked of foul play.

The truth behind this was undoubtedly far from simple.

Involving such heights of power, Eldrin Chen dared not dwell on it. He simply inquired, "Since the senior has already entered eternal meditation, what significance is there in you informing us of this matter?"

"Naturally, there is significance."

Glazed Divine Lord shook his head, his expression grave as he said, "Although that Immortal Lord of old entered eternal meditation, he left behind a legacy for ascending to the Nine-Colored realm."

"However, this legacy comes with a condition." Find thousands of chapters at audio–novel.com.

Glazed Divine Lord spoke, his gaze turning towards Nyssa Qu as a smile blossomed on his face. "Only a Seven-Colored Immortal Clam [a mythical clam of profound spiritual purity] is qualified to ascend, and it must be one that has not yet achieved immortality."

"Only by harnessing the Origin Immortal Energy [the primordial energy released at the moment of ascension to immortality] at the very instant of its breakthrough is there a sliver of hope for success."

"So that is the way of it."

Only then did Eldrin Chen understand why they had been so overjoyed upon meeting Nyssa Qu.

It was because Nyssa Qu was a Seven-Colored Immortal Clam, and moreover one who had not yet ascended to immortality, perfectly meeting the conditions for evolving into a Nine-Colored Immortal Shell [the legendary apex form of the immortal clam].

Realizing this, Eldrin Chen immediately bowed respectfully. "We humbly request your guidance, Senior."

"There is no need for such formality."

Glazed Qu helped them both to their feet, yet his smile faded as he spoke with solemnity. "The birth of a Nine-Colored Immortal Shell is the key to the rise of our Spirit Shell Clan [a clan whose lineage and power are tied to spiritual clams]. I am willing to aid you."

"However, I have a condition."

Eldrin Chen and Nyssa Qu exchanged a glance, their hearts already sensing Glazed Qu's intent. Eldrin Chen inquired respectfully, "Please enlighten us, Divine Lord [a title for a powerful immortal being]."

"Mm," Glazed Qu nodded, then spoke: "In the past, that distinguished person used Innate Polarity Genesis Energy [a primordial energy of opposing yet complementary forces] to successfully aid the Seven-Colored Immortal Clam in its advancement."

"Although the method passed down by the Immortal Lord is simpler, it still requires World-Opening Polarity Dual Energy [a divine technique that manipulates the fundamental energies of creation and duality] at the Earth Immortal level."

"This item is of immense value even to me, so naturally, offering it comes with a price."

She paused slightly at this point, her gaze sweeping over the two of them. "After Nyssa Qu advances, she must serve as the Future Clan Patriarch [the designated heir and future leader] of my Glazed Sea Territory."

"Furthermore, for her own safety, she cannot leave this Glazed Sea Territory until she breaks through to the Earth Immortal realm."

Upon hearing this, Nyssa Qu instinctively tightened her grip on Eldrin Chen's hand.

The distance between the Glazed Sea and the Crimson Dragon Sea was vast; a single round trip would take nearly two years.

If she agreed to these terms, she would see Eldrin Chen far less than she would be apart from him. At least until Eldrin Chen himself reached the Earth Immortal realm, they might only meet once every few hundred or even thousand years.

And this separation could last for tens of thousands, perhaps even hundreds of thousands of years.

Thinking of this, her heart ached with reluctance. She shook her head and said, "Could I not return to the Crimson Dragon Sea? My husband would surely be able to ensure my safety."

"Impossible."

Glazed Qu shook her head resolutely, her expression firm as she declared, "The matter of the Nine-Colored Immortal Shell is of immense importance. If it were discovered, even Celestial Immortal Great Power [a supreme cultivator who has ascended to immortality] would covet it."

"You must at least cultivate to the Earth Immortal Realm [the realm of an Earth Immortal, a powerful immortal being] to barely conceal your aura. Otherwise, any Earth Immortal could see through your origins with a single glance."

Speaking to this point, Glazed Qu softened her tone, not wishing to pressure Nyssa Qu further. "If you remain in the Glazed Sea, I am willing to use my most precious treasures to nurture the child in your womb."

"Nyssa." Seeing Nyssa Qu's hesitation, Eldrin Chen finally spoke with resolve. "If love between two can last forever, why need they stay together night and day?"

"I have already attained immortality, and the path of Future stretches long before us." Support the author by reading on audio-novel . com.

"Only if you can break through to the Great Encompassing Realm [the Da Luo Realm, a legendary state of supreme cultivation], where no Kalpa Tribulation [a cosmic cycle of destruction and rebirth] can touch you, will we be able to accompany each other for eternity."

Nyssa Qu's eyes reddened slightly. She quietly grasped Eldrin Chen's hand and said, "I will listen to you."

Hearing this, Glazed Qu finally revealed a smile. She stood up and nodded. "Since it is decided, come with me to my Treasure Vault and select some Fetus-Nurturing Divine Substance [divine materials used to nourish and strengthen an unborn child]."

The group followed behind the Glazed Divine Lord and soon arrived within the Treasure Vault.

Eldrin Chen had just stepped into the Treasure Vault when the sight before him captivated his gaze, leaving him momentarily overwhelmed with awe.

Seeing this, Sun Consort smiled faintly and said, "Within the Flowing Stream Hundred Seas, there are a total of eight Earth Immortal Blessed Land."

"Among these eight Blessed Land, the strength of my Glazed Sea can only be ranked second, yet in terms of treasures, it undoubtedly holds the first place."

Only then did Eldrin Chen's heart settle slightly, gaining a rough understanding of the immense wealth possessed by the Glazed Sea.

The Spirit Shell Clan excels at nurturing treasures; the divine pearls and immortal shells they cultivate are all supreme, peerless treasures. They can even artificially foster Blessed Land.

Under their Creation, the Glazed Sea has given birth to countless immortal-grade ores and an inexhaustible abundance of coral Immortal Artifact, revealing the staggering extent of the Glazed Sea's wealth.

As Eldrin Chen walked through, he discovered that the Treasure Vault was filled from floor to ceiling with rare and wondrous Immortal Artifact, many of which reached the middle or lower grades of the Immortal Realm.

It was only when he reached the core area that Eldrin Chen's footsteps paused ever so slightly.

Moon Consort followed his gaze and saw a divine pearl that resembled a bright moon. She smiled and explained, "That is the Moon Goddess Pearl I nurtured a few years ago. It can assist cultivators in their practice."

"If you desire it, you may exchange it for an Immortal Artifact."

With his resolve firm, Eldrin Chen knew this Moon Goddess Pearl [a mystical pearl that gathers the essence of moonlight] could condense Moonlight Essence [a pure, lunar-aligned spiritual energy], accelerating a cultivator's cultivation speed.

In the past, when Eldrin Chen was at the Infant Soul [the Nascent Soul stage of cultivation] realm, he had used this very pearl as an auxiliary treasure for his cultivation. Now, even though he had attained immortality, this Upper Grade Immortal Rank [a high-tier classification for immortal-grade items] Moon Goddess Pearl could still increase his cultivation speed by fifty percent.

If it were refined into an auxiliary Immortal Treasure [a powerful enchanted artifact used by immortals], the effect might be even better.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen gritted his teeth and took out the Polarity Supreme Polarity Pill [a supreme-grade elixir that harmonizes opposing forces to provide immense power].

"I am willing to exchange this for that Moon Goddess Pearl," he declared.

Moon Consort [a title for a powerful lunar-aligned immortal] glanced at it, her eyes gleaming with a faint light. Her cultivation had already reached the Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier [the ninth and peak tier of the Ascendant Immortal realm], and her Immortal Essence [the foundational energy of an immortal] had stagnated for many years without growth.

Yet, this Polarity Supreme Polarity Pill could instantly provide a massive surge of Immortal Essence, potentially helping her break through the bottleneck to the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm [a transitional state just below the Earth Immortal realm].

Although the hope was not great, it was still a sliver of possibility. Most crucially, she had never seen this type of pill before; it seemed to be a unique Immortal Pill [a pill of immortal grade, far surpassing mortal elixirs].

The first time one consumed such a unique Immortal Pill, it often had miraculous effects, far superior to repeatedly taking pills of the same rank. If supplemented with other precious Immortal Pill and divine materials, there might truly be a chance of success.

With this thought, she nodded. "Very well, I shall exchange it for this."

Having obtained the Moon Goddess Pearl [a mystical pearl imbued with the essence of the moon, said to enhance cultivation and clarity of mind], Eldrin Chen felt a wave of profound reassurance settle within his heart. From this point forward, his cultivation journey would be aided by another precious treasure. His confidence in breaking through to the mid and later stages of the Ascendant Immortal [a high realm of cultivation where one begins to transcend mortality] had increased substantially.

Witnessing this, the Star Consort [a title for a celestial consort associated with stellar powers] nearby spoke without preamble, "Within our Glazed Blessed Land [a paradisiacal realm of spiritual purity and crystalline beauty], treasures beyond the Moon Goddess Pearl reside. We possess the Bright Sun Pearl [a radiant pearl containing the condensed essence of the blazing sun, beneficial for fire-attribute cultivation] and the Stellar Pearl [a pearl that seems to hold a miniature galaxy within, aiding in astral and spatial comprehension]. Both are rare and precious treasures for cultivation."

"If you still possess such elixirs, or similar treasures of comparable worth," she continued, her tone measured, "we might consider an exchange, out of respect for Nyssa." For uninterrupted reading, go to audio-novel`com.
