Chapter 1068: God Mark Purple Gold

After a moment of contemplation, he still reached out and firmly grasped the 7-Orifice Lyra Jade, storing it away.

For the child in Lyra's womb, and to repay the favor owed to Glazed Divine Lord, this was a task he absolutely had to undertake.

After storing the 7-Apertures Lyra Jade, Eldrin said to Seraphina Qu, "Inform the Glazed Divine Sovereign that her intent is now clear to me."

"After 60 1000 years, I shall lend my aid."

"Husband!"

Upon hearing this, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) paled slightly as realization finally dawned on her. With a face drained of color, she murmured, "Rushing headlong into a heavenly tribulation is far too perilous. Should we return the 7-Orifice Lyra (Person Name) Jade?"

"Do not worry."

Eldrin smiled faintly, stroking Seraphina Qu's long hair as he said, "60 1000 years should at least be enough for me to reach the middle stage of Ascendant Immortal realm. That ought to suffice for self-preservation."

"And what's more..."

At this point, his voice paused deliberately as he spoke with profound depth in his gaze, "We who walk the path of immortality must carve through thorns and thistles, enduring countless tribulations to achieve truly great accomplishments."

"This move can aid the Glazed Paradise, temper my own cultivation, and even help procure nurturing resources for Lyra (Person Name) during her pregnancy. Why would I hesitate?"

A faint shadow crossed Seraphina Qu's eyes as she realized Eldrin's resolve was unshakable, and there was nothing she could do to change his mind.

Deep down, she understood that Lady Moon and Lady Star had treated her with immense kindness. Should calamity befall them, she knew she could never stand idly by.

In truth, the Great Heavenly Tribulation operates precisely this way—the celestial mechanisms grow obscure, and mortal hearts become unmoored.

Legend has it that in the distant past, during a terrible kalpic tribulation, a supreme sect had an Ancient Immortal who had survived 7 heavenly tribulations finally succumb. Overwhelmed by grief, his fellow disciples, mentors, and close friends all descended the mountain 1 after another to avenge him.

However, the origins of the opposing party were even more astonishing, as they had invited numerous great powers to intervene. Once both sides unleashed their true fury, a full 1000 or so mighty figures met their tribulation.

In the final stages of the conflict, casualties among their disciples grew so severe that even Great Luo Golden Immortals could no longer remain aloof, personally intervening to overturn the chessboard of the cosmic tribulation.

In the end, an existence of the Great Luo Immortal Lord level perished, causing a supreme major sect to completely decline from then on.

Henceforth, when tribulations descended, the great immortal sects exercised utmost restraint. Beyond those directly entangled in the calamity, higher-level experts seldom intervened personally.

To return to our story, Eldrin (Person Name) had just set foot in the immortal realm, his heart brimming with boundless ambition and not the slightest fear of heavenly tribulation.

He stored away the 7-Apertures Lyra Jade, agreed to Glazed Divine Lord's request, and then set off to attend the Treasure Exchange Conference.

The Barter Convention was held at the Glazed Divine Palace. Nestled deep within the ocean, this palace was paved throughout with divine jade and gemstones of every hue, surpassing even the legendary Dragon Palace in splendor and magnificence.

When Eldrin arrived at the Glazed Divine Palace, he found it already filled with countless immortals.

Within the Glazed Divine Palace, where all manner of celestial treasures abounded and wondrous sights filled every corner, a host of immortals partook of divine wines and sacred fruits, quietly awaiting the commencement of this Grand Barter Assembly.

This Treasure Exchange Convention differed from any Eldrin had witnessed before, as all the participating immortals had entrusted their treasures for sale to the Glazed Palace.

After organizing the information, the Glazed Palace produced a catalog. Every immortal attending the Artifact Exchange Convention received a copy, allowing them to prepare in advance for the treasures they desired.

Eldrin studied the list in his hand, discovering that this auction featured thousands of divine artifacts, with dozens specifically dedicated to fetal nourishment.

However, most of these fetal-nourishing divine treasures were only of middle or lower immortal grade. Only 2 or 3 had reached the upper immortal grade, while there was merely 1 supreme-grade immortal treasure.

Azure Dragon Divine Embryo, Green Abyss Immortal Lotus Seed.

After reading the list, Eldrin fell silent, murmuring inwardly with a trace of solemnity crossing his features.

Both treasures were divine objects for nurturing the fetus, among which the Azure Dragon Divine Fetus was said to be an embryonic form of the acquired Yi Wood Azure Dragon.

This object is a supreme-grade immortal treasure. Under normal gestation, it would ultimately give birth to a postnatal Yimu Qinglong, said to be born with the innate potential of an Earth Immortal, and would most likely attain the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm in its future cultivation.

If this object is used to nurture the fetus, the resulting child's innate talent would rival that of an acquired deity. As long as the child's temperament remains largely unproblematic, the likelihood of breaking through to the Earth Immortal realm would be considerable.

The Cyan Abyss Immortal Lotus Seed, on the other hand, is a rare supreme-grade immortal treasure. Forging an immortal foundation with this artifact can yield the Cyan Abyss Immortal Lotus Body, which is also an exceptionally superior immortal constitution.

This constitution, as long as 1 cultivates step by step, holds great certainty of achieving an immortal body, with limitless potential in the future.

These 2 treasures were the very objectives of Eldrin's journey.

Although there were quite a few other fetal-nourishing divine treasures, they were either incompatible with the child in Qing Ji’s womb or far inferior in grade to these 2 treasures.

At this thought, Eldrin fell into a pensive silence, his brow slightly furrowed. "We shall prioritize acquiring the Azure Dragon Divine Embryo. If it proves unattainable, we may then consider the Abyssal Azure Lotus Seed."

Once he had made up his mind, Eldrin began to await the commencement of the Exchange Assembly.

No 1 knew how much time had passed when Riyue Ji stepped onto the high platform of the Exchange Assembly.

Her gaze swept over the assembly as she spoke with serene composure, "Today's Artifact Exchange Convention was originally meant to be presided over by this humble 1."

"If you have no objections, let us commence."

Upon hearing this, everyone present broke into smiles. Lady Sun was a half-step Earth Immortal realm elder ancestor—with her personally presiding over the exchange convention, how would any of those seated dare to show the slightest disrespect?

Seeing that no 1 had any objections, Qing Ji (Person Name) retrieved a tray and carefully placed it before her.

With a flick of her sleeve, she dispelled the restriction over the tray, revealing a divine artifact within.

That was a piece of immortal purple gold veined with divine marks, its surface covered in profoundly mysterious divine patterns.

Eldrin felt a wave of dizziness just from a single glance, overwhelmed by its intricate complexity. A faint tremor of awe stirred within him.

Divine Mark Purple Gold!

Someone cried out in shock, recognizing the origin of this object.

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) felt a tremor in his heart as he recalled the records on the list.

This Divine Mark Purple Gold is an exceedingly rare immortal metal, much like the Dragon Vein Black Gold, both existences that have surpassed the limits of ascension.

By refining this object into an immortal treasure, 1 can forge a supreme-grade immortal artifact. If integrated into 1's Natal Immortal Treasure, it may even serve as a primordial treasure capable of Cleaving Heaven.

"I offer 1 100 sticks of incense tribute silver for this item."

Just as Eldrin was inwardly astonished, a voice rang out across the arena.

Eldrin (Person Name) looked up and saw a white-haired elder with a youthful countenance speaking, whose aura seemed even more formidable than that of Sun Ji (Person Name).

"It's him, no wonder."

At that moment, an immortal beside Eldrin spoke up, his tone tinged with admiration as he recounted this individual’s origins.

It turned out this man was known by his Daoist title as the Oblique Sun Daoist, the 5 Tribulations Immortal of the Setting Sun Blessed Land. Having weathered 5 heavenly tribulations in succession, he stood merely A Step Away (Time & Distance) from attaining Earth Immortal realm.

Legend has it that his power may already be on par with some who have just stepped into the realm of Earth Immortals.

The immortal sighed with emotion as he spoke to this point. "At the Soul-Trading Convention in the Setting Sun Sea some years ago, the Setting Sun Blessed Land sought to acquire a top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) precisely to forge the 4 Extremities Pillars for this individual."

It is said that his Lifebound Immortal Treasure, the "Setting Sun Heavenly Wheel," has reached the pinnacle grade of supreme immortal treasures, capable of serving as 1 of the 3 Creation Artifacts—a World-Anchoring Treasure governing the circulation of primordial qi.

"Now he has returned to purchase Divine Mark Purple Gold, likely to forge the Heaven-Bearing Artifact—1 of the World-Creation Triad Treasures that maintains cosmic equilibrium."

"From the looks of it, when the great calamity arrives in 60 1000 years, he will most likely attempt to break through to the Earth Immortal realm."
