Chapter 1069. Successful Treasure Exchange

"I knew you would want this item."

Xing Ji nodded slightly and produced a Star God Pearl from her sleeve, as if she had anticipated this all along.

For a newly ascended immortal like Eldrin, such a treasure that accelerated cultivation speed could be considered the most crucial asset.

In contrast, Star Princess’s cultivation had reached the Ninth Heaven of Ascendant Immortal realm, where her immortal essence had long been refined to its absolute peak. She was in even greater need of a rare treasure like the Yin-Yang Taiji Elixir.

A cultivator like Xing Ji, who had reached the Ninth Heaven of Ascendant Immortal realm, had already pushed her magic power to the absolute limits of the Ascendant Immortal stage. Through ordinary cultivation methods, it was fundamentally impossible to advance even a single step further.

Only by breaking through this limit and transcending the pinnacle of the Ascendant Realm can 1 forge the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm.

The Yin Yang Taiji Pill, once ingested, can stabilize the violently surging immortal essence within a celestial being's body.

If he could harness this surge of immortal energy, he might attempt to breach the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm.

Although the Yin Yang Taiji Pill was limited in grade, only capable of increasing a Ninth-Level Ascendant Immortal’s magic power by 10 to 20 percent, advancing even a single step at the pinnacle of cultivation was inherently arduous. With the aid of this treasure, 1 would ultimately gain a little more certainty in their endeavors.

Star Maiden and Moon Maiden sought the Yin Yang Elixir precisely to prepare for their future attempt at breaking through to the Quasi-Terrestrial Immortal realm.

You must understand that once they break through to the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm, their status would become incomparable to what it was before.

Cultivators at the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm had already transcended the limits of ascension. The quality of their Immortal Essence had undergone a remarkable transformation, bearing no fundamental difference from that of true Earth Immortal Patriarchs.

The disparity between the 2 was actually not that significant. However, the Earth Immortal Patriarch possessed a Heaven-Splitting Treasure, Heaven-Splitting-level divine abilities, and even such Earth Immortal methods, making their combat prowess somewhat more formidable.

Moreover, the Earth Immortal Patriarch possesses a far more profound cultivation of immortal essence, thus granting them significantly greater power.

Of course, this was not an absolute rule. As immortal beings enjoyed eternal life, there existed a rare few supreme immortals who had lived for over 5 million years. Their strength and accumulated foundation could no longer be simply measured by cultivation realms.

Some supreme immortals who had weathered 7, or even 8, heavenly tribulations possessed strength sufficient to defeat—or even slay—ordinary Earth Immortals.

As for the 9-Tribulation Immortal...

Such immortals are exceedingly rare. In the entire Xī Qì Shén Yuān Hǎi (Mystical Realm), there are no more than 5 immortals who have surpassed the seventh heavenly tribulation, and not a single 1 who has reached the ninth.

To return to our story, Star Princess exchanged the Star God Pearl with Eldrin (Person Name) for the Yin-Yang Taiji Elixir, then gazed at the remaining pill and said:

"The Solar God Pearl can only be nurtured by the Solar God Clam. Lady Ri Ji's life-bound divine pearl has already been refined into her innate immortal treasure—I'm afraid it cannot be sold to you."

"Fortunately, the clan vault still preserves 2 pieces. These are treasured artifacts of the Daystrider Shell lineage. If you wish to obtain them, you must seek out the Grand Elder."

Eldrin nodded slightly but did not take his leave immediately. Instead, he inquired, "Might I ask for your guidance? Is Lady Ji willing to offer the Solar Divine Pearl that day?"

Riji was a 4 Tribulations Immortal who had reached the half-step Earth Immortal realm, and was even on the verge of undergoing the fifth great tribulation.

Such a powerful immortal was considered 1 of the lofty figures even among the Flowing Rivers and 100 Seas, and naturally looked down upon a mere Yin-Yang Taiji Elixir.

Therefore, Eldrin wanted to inquire a bit, to see if he could sound out Star Princess for information.

Upon hearing this, Xing Ji smiled faintly, a subtle gleam flashing in her eyes. "Ri Ji cultivates through refining the essence of the sun. If you possess any Pure Yang divine abilities, cultivation techniques, or treasures of pure yang nature, he would most likely be intrigued."

"Thank you for the reminder."

Eldrin gave a slight nod and immediately set off to find Sun Ji.

As the second most powerful expert of Glazed Paradise, after the Glazed Divine Lord entered seclusion, Lady Sun assumed stewardship over Glazed Paradise.

She seemed to have anticipated Eldrin’s arrival long before. Upon seeing him, she nodded and said, “Have you come for the Sun God Pearl?”

"So it is."

Eldrin nodded, drawing an ancient scripture from his sleeve. "This text is named the Scripture of Primordial Sunfire, through which 1 may cultivate the power of the Primordial Sunfire Law."

"I wish to exchange this item for the Day God Pearl, Senior."

Riji took it and glanced over it, her pupils involuntarily contracting slightly.

This Pure Yang Celestial Flame Scripture was created by Eldrin based on his own Pure Yang Celestial Flame Law. Though it currently only allowed cultivation up to the mid-stage Ascendant Realm, it was truly extraordinary.

Because the Law of Pure Yang Heavenly Fire possessed immense power, it was considered the most supreme force among all Pure Yang laws. It was said that cultivating it to the ultimate level could lead 1 directly to the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Although this ancient scripture before him was still in its nascent form, it held immense referential value.

After observing for a while, Riji felt that approaching this scripture could refine her cultivation path and allow her to create an immortal-grade divine ability.

"Not bad."

After a long while, Sun-Childe sighed in admiration, "What a pity it only reaches the Mid Immortal Ascension realm. If this were a complete celestial scripture capable of cultivating all 9 layers of Immortal Ascension, it would likely grant me tremendous improvement in power."

Although Eldrin's cultivation base was insufficient, the Law of Pure Yang Heavenly Fire was of higher quality than her own Law of the Great Sun. If she could draw inspiration from it to refine her own power of laws, her strength would undoubtedly improve.

If this celestial scripture were complete, she estimated her strength could advance yet another step, no weaker than a powerful 5 Tribulations Immortal.

Even so, this immortal scripture was remarkably profound. He estimated his own strength had increased by 10 percent.

At her level of cultivation, she had already surpassed the limits of the Ascension Realm. Making further progress had become exceedingly difficult, and relying on ordinary celestial-tier treasures was unlikely to yield significant improvement.

Obtaining this immortal scripture naturally filled her with immense delight.

She gave a slight nod, a faint smile gracing her lips. "Within the clan treasury remain 2 Sun God Pearls—1 is merely a mid-grade immortal treasure, while the other is a superior divine pearl left behind by an elder who reached the Ninth Heaven of Ascension."

"This immortal scripture of yours is worth as much to me as a top-grade immortal treasure."

At this point, Riji (Person Name) smiled faintly and retrieved a brilliantly radiant Sun God Pearl (Magic Treasure) from her sleeve.

Eldrin took the Sun God Pearl, a faint surge of joy rising in his heart.

The Solar, Lunar, and Stellar Divine Pearls could respectively channel the powers of the sun, moon, and stars to aid cultivation, though each possessed distinct emphases.

Among them, the power of moonlight can transform immortal essence and is most adept at accelerating cultivation speed.

The power of the stars nourishes the primordial spirit, and the starlight it manifests can accelerate the growth of the Primordial Spirit Immortal Embryo.

This Solar God Pearl channels the most domineering solar energy, capable of continuously tempering a cultivator's physical form—a supreme treasure for cultivating an immortal body.

To gather these 3 treasures, Eldrin (Person Name) would greatly accelerate his cultivation speed in spirit, magic power, and physical body.

At this thought, Eldrin immediately cupped his hands and said, "Many thanks, fellow Daoist, for the treasure exchange. With matters here concluded, I shall take my leave."

"Go."

With a faint smile, Ri Ji reminded him, "3 1000 years from now, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) will emerge from seclusion to undergo her Immortal Ascension Tribulation. You must not miss that moment."

"I have naturally committed it to memory."

Eldrin (Person Name) cupped his hands in salute before rising to depart from the Glazed Sea.

With matters between the lines concluded, Eldrin departed alone and soon returned to Green Abyss Island.
