Chapter 1065. Returning to the Glazed Sea

Having decided to journey to the Glazed Sea, Eldrin did not delay.

Early the next morning, he set off for the Glazed Sea with Seraphina Qu (Person Name). After a journey spanning the better part of a year, they finally arrived within the Glazed Sea's domain.

After a 1000 years, Eldrin (Person Name) once again set foot upon Glazed Sea, yet he could not help but feel a pang of envy at its undiminished prosperity.

Yet unlike the previous ascent, this time within the Glazed Sea, Eldrin encountered numerous immortals who hailed from realms beyond its shimmering expanse.

This was well within Eldrin’s expectations, as the current Liuchuan Baihai Trading Convention was being held precisely within the Glazed Sea.

Immortals gathered in multitudes, deities all arrived—what a flourishing spectacle at Flowing River and 100 Seas.

Sensing 1 powerful aura after another, Eldrin couldn't help but show a flicker of emotion on his face, revealing a trace of astonishment.

Over the years, Eldrin had dwelled in a secluded corner of the world, encountering few immortals and rarely witnessing gatherings of celestial beings.

At the former trade fair of the Setting Sun Blessed Land, the gathering of just over 2 100 cultivators was considered exceptionally grand, yet compared to the scene before him now, it was merely a drop in the ocean.

Before his eyes, the Glazed Sea had gathered no fewer than 3,000 immortals—among them stood peerless celestial beings and even ancestral masters who had attained the half-step Terran Immortal realm.

Beyond the mountains, there stand loftier peaks; beyond mortals, there dwell mightier beings.

"Though I have attained immortality, I am but a mere speck within the Flowing Rivers and 100 Seas, let alone the vast Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea or the overarching Cang-Qiong Immortal Realm."

Eldrin (Person Name) felt a surge of complex emotions in his heart when he saw a figure emerging from the void—Yueji (Person Name) stepping through the air to greet him.

Yue Ji, draped in sheer silk, cast a fleeting glance at Eldrin before smiling faintly. "You've come at the perfect time," she said. "The Patriarch has been awaiting your arrival for quite a while."

"Fairy, please lead the way."

Eldrin nodded and spoke with exceptional courtesy.

Following Yue Ji, Eldrin soon arrived deep within the Glazed Paradise.

Within a palace of glazed jade, Eldrin beheld the Glazed Divine Lord.

That Seraphina Qu, the Lustrous Divine Sovereign, garbed in lustrous robes, gave a slight nod upon seeing Lyra and said, "The Grand Bazaar of Wonders is about to commence, and for the time being, I am unable to extricate myself from my duties."

"Let us wait until the Trade Assembly concludes before proceeding with Seraphina Qu's (Person Name) bloodline metamorphosis."

Though Eldrin was anxious, he understood the gravity of the matter and could only nod in agreement. "Then we shall proceed as you suggest, Senior."

The Glazed Divinity Sovereign gave a slight nod, and for the time being, the matter was settled.

In the blink of an eye, over a year had passed, and the day of the Treasure Exchange Conference finally arrived.

Eldrin emerged from his cultivation abode, ready to attend the Artifact Exchange Convention.

Yet Seraphina Qu (Person Name) grasped his sleeve, then drew from her sleeve a 7-hued immortal jade of Lyra (Person Name) and handed it to him.

Eldrin's expression shifted slightly, a trace of astonishment in his voice as he remarked, "Where did you obtain this artifact?"

This 7-Aperture Lyra Jade was a treasured artifact once cherished by the Glazed Divine Sovereign, its grade reaching the very pinnacle of Earth Immortal realm. That it had now fallen into Seraphina Qu's hands completely defied Eldrin's expectations.

Seraphina Qu gritted her teeth lightly before speaking, "Neither Lyra nor Qing Ji (Person Name) have acquired life-nurturing treasures yet. This is what I obtained by requesting it from the Glazed Divine Lord."

Foolish.

Eldrin’s expression shifted, and he shook his head. "We already owe the Glazed Divine Sovereign an immense favor—how could we possibly ask her for treasures again?"

"I am well aware."

Seraphina Qu gave a slight nod, then shook her head. "Though you've come to purchase prenatal nurturing treasures, even if you acquire them, how many could truly compare to this 7-Aperture Lyra Jade?"

"This 7-aperture Lyra (Person Name) jade shall be considered as borrowed for now. I shall return it to her in due time."

Hearing this, Eldrin closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and asked, "Did you promise her something?"

"Husband!"

Seraphina Qu (Person Name) paled slightly, drawing an involuntary deep breath.

The 7-Aperture Lyra (Person Name) Jade was a celestial treasure of the Earth Immortal level. Even with the Glazed Paradise's (Place Name) immense wealth, such astonishingly valuable treasures were likely few in number.

The only reason I was willing to gift it to Seraphina Qu earlier was because she is a prodigy of our own clan. Had it been anyone else, I would never have parted with it so readily.

To win a nod of approval from the Crystal Seraph, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) must have expended no small effort.

Seraphina Qu had initially intended to keep this from Eldrin, but upon seeing the look in his eyes, she knew concealment was futile. She could only nod and confess, "I gave her my word. When Lady Moon and Lady Star face their heavenly tribulations, I shall lend them my aid."

"This..."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin's (Person Name) expression shifted slightly.

For a celestial being to personally undergo a heavenly tribulation was no trivial matter. Should they transcend it, they would gain heavenly opportunities; should they fail, they would most likely be reduced to tribulation ashes.

Both Lady Yue and Lady Xing were Third Tribulation Immortals. Once they successfully weathered 1 more tribulation, they would be confident in attaining the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm.

The fourth heavenly tribulation of Immortal Ke was a monumental threshold.

If 1 could transcend this tribulation, there would be a chance to attain the rank of Earth Immortal. Naturally, countless cultivators aspired to overcome the Fourth Tribulation.

And those qualified to undergo this fourth tribulation were naturally no ordinary individuals.

Not only were they exceptionally powerful in combat, but they were also highly likely to have the support of an Earth Immortal ancestor.

As an Earth Immortal Patriarch, his status was lofty and exalted. Generally speaking, to avoid triggering life-or-death battles among Earth Immortals, an ordinary Earth Immortal Patriarch would not easily make a move.

They would mostly bestow treasures upon their disciples, and then the 1 undergoing the tribulation would invite some close friends and relatives to assist. Even if unable to secure their presence, they would borrow treasures to face the tribulation.

Yet such tribulations are exceedingly perilous; a single misstep could cause those lending aid to fall prey to the calamity, needlessly losing their lives and becoming those who fulfill the tribulation.

Thus, aside from 1's closest kin, ordinary cultivators would only be willing to lend their signature magic treasures unless they shared a life-and-death bond, seldom agreeing to intervene personally.

This time, Lord Liuli intended to use the 7-Orifice Lyra Jade to request Seraphina Qu's assistance in helping the Moon Maiden and Star Maiden survive their fourth great tribulation after 60,000 years.

"Wrong."

Her true target was not Seraphina Qu (Person Name).

Eldrin suddenly furrowed his brow slightly, a trace of solemnity crossing his features.

In the blink of an eye, he grasped the true intentions of the Glazed Divine Lord.

Seraphina Qu (Person Name) showed promise in forging the 9-Colored Immortal Pearl, positioning her as a future Da Luo Seed of the Glazed Sea Pearl Clan. Even if she failed to achieve this, her innate talent far surpassed that of Lunar Maiden and Stellar Maiden.

Moreover, she was considered 1 of Glazed Divine Lord's own confidants. Having her risk entering the tribulation to assist Moon Maiden and Star Maiden was akin to trading jade for stone—the most ill-advised transaction imaginable.

Thus, the target of Glazed Divine Maiden was not her, but Eldrin (Person Name) and the Green Abyss Island behind him.

Because Eldrin now possessed combat prowess at the late Ascension stage, as long as he broke through to the middle Ascension stage within 60,000 years, his strength would likely surpass even the ninth level of Ascension, making him an immense asset.

Thus, the purpose of Glazed Divine Lord's action was to compel Eldrin and the Green Abyss Island behind him to brave the calamity and assist Star Princess and Moon Princess in transcending their Fourth Great Tribulation.

The Fourth Great Tribulation.

Eldrin murmured inwardly, his gaze shifting to the 7-aperture Lyra Jade in his hand.
