Chapter 1054 : The Glazed Divine Lord's Favor

Only at this moment did he finally understand why the Glazed Blessed Land [a blessed land renowned for its crystalline beauty and formidable defenses] stood unshaken through the ages.

This was not merely due to the formidable power of the Glazed Divine Lord [a title for a powerful immortal lord associated with crystalline purity], but also because the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven [a profound and powerful immortal realm] owed her a significant favor.

With the protection of a Celestial Immortal Great Power [an immensely powerful being who has ascended to the Celestial Immortal realm] and possessing strength of at least the Late Stage Earth Immortal [the advanced phase of the Earth Immortal cultivation stage], the Glazed Divine Lord could essentially stride unopposed across the Western Essence Divine Abyss Sea [a vast and perilous sea region in the immortal world].

Contemplating this, Eldrin Chen drew a deep, silent breath before inquiring, "There must be limitations to refining these Vast Sea Divine Pearl [divine pearls containing the boundless essence of the ocean], I presume?"

"You are perceptive."

The Glazed Divine Lord gave a slight nod, her expression serene as she spoke. "The Vast Sea Divine Pearl are, after all, divine objects of Immortal Artifact [a supreme grade of enchanted artifact] caliber. If they could be refined without any conditions, it would defy the natural order of heaven and earth."

"For an ordinary Immortal [a being who has achieved immortality through cultivation] lineage, refining a single pearl is enough to forge an immortal-grade foundation. Refining three can pave the way to cultivation at the Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier [the ninth and pinnacle tier of the Ascendant Immortal realm]."

"But to refine more than that depends on one's innate potential and profound reserves, and even more so, on whether one shares a destined affinity with them."

Eldrin Chen nodded in understanding upon hearing this. The Lord of Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven [the sovereign ruler of the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven] had refined twelve pearls and ascended all the way to the Celestial Immortal Realm [a lofty realm of cultivation beyond the Earth Immortal stage]. If one could refine twenty-four, wouldn't that signify the potential of a Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [a legendary and nearly mythic stage of immortal cultivation]?

According to the words of the Glazed Divine Lord, for a fetus to refine a Vast Sea Divine Pearl, the primary requirement is compatibility—whether its innate attributes harmonize with the pearl's essence. This chapter appears courtesy of audio‑novel.com.

If the fetus possesses a Fire Spiritual Root [an innate affinity for the element of fire], it would clash with the Vast Sea Divine Pearl [a divine pearl containing the essence of the boundless ocean]. In such a case, no matter how high its latent potential, it could only refine one or two of these pearls at most. Furthermore, refining them would likely damage its foundational cultivation base.

If the fetus possesses a Water Spiritual Root [an innate affinity for the element of water], refining the Vast Sea Divine Pearl would be beneficial. It could potentially refine up to three such pearls.

Should the fetus possess an exceptionally profound natural endowment and deep foundational potential from the start, it might refine six, nine, or even more pearls.

The ultimate number it can refine depends entirely on the fetus's innate potential and its destined affinity with the pearls.

Generally speaking, however, refining twelve pearls indicates an aptitude for the Celestial Immortal Realm [a lofty realm of immortal cultivation]. Refining eighteen would place one among the very pinnacle of talents even within that exalted realm.

"In ages past, the Lord of Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven [the sovereign ruler of the Divine Abyss immortal paradise] refined twelve Vast Sea Divine Pearl,"

"Using those twelve pearls as his foundation, he forged a set of Lifebound Supreme Treasure [a supreme magical artifact bound to one's very life force] known as the 'Twelve Primordial Hour Pearls' [Twelve Pearls of Primal Time]. A single strike from that strand of divine pearls could force even a Celestial Immortal Great Power [a mighty figure within the Celestial Immortal Realm] to cough up blood, making him a force to be reckoned with among all Celestial Immortal [immortals of the celestial realm]."

Glazed Divine Lord [a title for a powerful immortal lord] recounted this tale smoothly, her gaze turning towards the fetus within Nyssa Qu's womb as she said:

"The Vast Sea Divine Pearl are, after all, born from our Immortal Clam Clan [a clan of immortal spirit clams]. The fetus within Nyssa carries the bloodline of an immortal clam, granting it a profound and natural compatibility with the pearls. Refining them might yield extraordinary results."

"Moreover, unless my eyes deceive me, this child should possess a Water Spiritual Root."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen and Nyssa Qu could not help but feel a surge of excitement in their hearts.

A Heavenly Spiritual Root [a supreme-grade spiritual root talent] of the water attribute, if found in the mortal world, would face immense difficulty in achieving immortality. Yet, within the Immortal Realm, with the aid of a Fetal Nurturing Treasure [a rare treasure used to nourish and enhance the innate potential of an unborn child], it is no longer a path of certain doom.

However, such Fetal Nurturing Treasures are all Immortal Artifact [artifacts of immortal grade]. Unless they are the children of Immortal [beings who have ascended to immortality] like themselves, ordinary cultivators have virtually no chance of using them.

After all, on the path of cultivation, one's foundation is often the most crucial factor. With parents at the Immortal level paving the way, one's Innate [innate, inborn nature or constitution] surpasses that of mortals from the very beginning, starting at the very end of the Immortal Ascension Path [the arduous journey to ascend to immortality].

A mere mortal must hack through thorns and brambles, constantly refining and transforming themselves, and only after reaching the Primordial Spirit 9th Tier [the ninth and highest tier of the Primordial Spirit realm] do they gain the qualification to stand on equal footing.

Whether one can make that ultimate leap depends on their accumulated foundation, their mental fortitude, and their destined opportunities.

As parents, the two naturally wished to pave a smooth road for their child.

Thus, Nyssa Qu suppressed the excitement in her heart and could not help but ask, "How many Vast Sea Divine Pearl [divine pearls containing the essence of the vast sea] do you think my child will be able to refine?"

"I am not certain,"

"He possesses the bloodline of an Immortal Clam and has the talent of a Water Spiritual Root [a spiritual root affinity for water]. I believe he should be able to refine at least six, perhaps even more than nine."

"As for how much he can ultimately refine, that will depend on his latent potential and his Creation [the foundational principle of creation and transformation within a cultivator]."

Glazed Divine Lord shook his head. After pondering for a moment, his gaze settled on Eldrin Chen and he said, "Moreover, this child's father possesses the Great Encompassing Potential [a legendary physique of immense latent capacity]. The inherited potential is likely not insignificant."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen felt a tremor in his heart, realizing now that Glazed Divine Lord had seen through him long ago.

Yet, upon reflection, it was to be expected. Although he had concealed his aura since ascending to immortality, he cultivated the Immortal Body [a body tempered to an immortal state], Path Principles [the fundamental laws of a cultivator's chosen Dao], and Path Fruit [the condensed essence of a cultivator's comprehension] simultaneously. Such a path naturally set him apart from ordinary immortals.

Glazed Divine Lord's cultivation was at least one great realm above his own; seeing through him at a glance was only logical. For an Immortal of the same realm to pierce his concealment would be far more difficult.

The reason Glazed Divine Lord treated him so favorably likely wasn't solely because of Nyssa Qu. It was probably also due to recognizing his exceptional talent and potential. Original publication: (audio-novel.com) - The source of this chapter.

After all, if he were in the other's place and encountered a junior of such peerless aptitude—barring any enmity—he too would likely offer benefits to forge a favorable connection.

But if there were grievances, or if it were the child of a foe... then striking first would be the only recourse.

This realization, however, stirred a note of caution within Eldrin Chen. While this Glazed Divine Lord was of a gentle temperament, one could not guarantee that all among the Immortal were noble of heart. If he next encountered a capricious or malevolent Earth Immortal [an immortal whose power is anchored to the earth, a high realm of cultivation] who sought his life, the danger would be grave indeed.

"Husband, which one should we choose?"

Nyssa Qu felt a flicker of delight, yet a thread of uncertainty remained. If she ultimately refined only six pearls, she feared it might still fall short of the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart.

However, Eldrin Chen grasped Nyssa Qu's hand, his composure unshaken as he spoke, "Have faith in our child."

"Alright!"

In the end, the two resolved to refine these Vast Sea Divine Pearl.

Seeing their decision, the Glazed Divine Lord gave a slight nod of approval, for she too leaned towards refining the Vast Sea Divine Pearl.

Once the treasure was chosen, the Glazed Divine Lord summoned thirty-six Vast Sea Divine Pearl one after another. "Legend holds that thirty-six Vast Sea Divine Pearl represents the absolute limit for refining this treasure," she stated.

"Yet, throughout all the ages, even the scions of Great Encompassing Golden Immortal have never achieved this feat. Most could only refine eighteen; the legend of one who managed twenty-four stands alone."

"We shall attempt it today. Do not be disheartened if many remain unused. Refining twelve would already be a heaven-sent surprise."

As they conversed, the group departed the Treasure Vault and escorted Nyssa Qu to a secluded cultivation chamber.

The Glazed Divine Lord intended to personally assist Nyssa Qu with the refinement. Eldrin Chen, however, shook his head and said, "I possess a pill formula known as the Innate Heavenly God Fetus Pill."

"Using this pill to refine the Vast Sea Divine Pearl [a legendary pearl containing the power of the boundless ocean] might slightly reduce the difficulty of assimilating it."

"Oh?"

The Glazed Divine Lord [a title for a powerful immortal lord] showed a flicker of interest in his gaze, then nodded. "I have heard of that Innate Heavenly God Fetus Pill [a supreme elixir said to nurture the potential of an unborn child]. It is indeed a superior formula."

"If it can truly provide some benefit after being refined, then I entrust its creation to you."

With those words, the Glazed Divine Lord handed the thirty-six Vast Sea Divine Pearl to Eldrin Chen.

Eldrin Chen received the pearls and immediately entered seclusion to begin crafting the Innate Heavenly God Fetus Pill.

The method for refining this Innate Heavenly God Fetus Pill varied greatly depending on the primary ingredient used.

Once a Vast Sea Divine Pearl was assimilated by a fetus, it would become a Companion Supreme Treasure [a treasure that grows and bonds with its wielder from birth], so it naturally could not be dissolved into a conventional pill.

Using the Vast Sea Divine Pearl as the primary ingredient involved gathering numerous Spirit Herb [plants imbued with spiritual energy] and refining their essence into the pearl itself, thereby enhancing its foundational power and miraculous properties.

Eldrin Chen had prepared many Spirit Herb for this journey, and the wealth of the Glazed Blessed Land [a prosperous realm of cultivation] was staggering. He gathered all the supplementary herbs without much effort.

Eldrin Chen stepped into the Alchemy Chamber and immediately began the alchemical process. He refined the various Spirit Herb [rare plants imbued with spiritual energy] into the Vast Sea Divine Pearl [a mystical treasure containing the essence of a vast sea], enhancing the latent potential of this treasure.

Just as the first Vast Sea Divine Pearl was about to be fully forged, Eldrin Chen's gaze sharpened. After confirming that no one was spying, he slowly exhaled a wisp of Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [a primordial and chaotic energy of violet hue, the source of creation].
