Chapter 1085 : A Bamboo Transformed by Violet Aura

After departing from Wind Mist Island, he soon returned to Green Chariot Mountain.

Upon returning to the clan, Eldrin Chen immediately planted the five Mu-area [one Mu-area equals six hundred sixty-six point six seven square meters] of Mysterious Jade Golden Bamboo and the thirty-some aged medicinal herbs within the Spirit Herb Garden of the Hinter Peaks.

After completing this task, Eldrin Chen attempted to nourish the aged herbs with Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [the supreme foundational energy of creation]. When it came to the Mysterious Jade Golden Bamboo, however, he hesitated.

Having only recently attained immortality, he had already expended a significant portion of his Primordial Chaos Violet Aura and could ill afford to waste what little remained.

After careful deliberation, Eldrin Chen ultimately decided to expend only a single wisp of Acquired Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [a refined, usable form of the primordial energy] to nourish the Mysterious Jade Golden Bamboo.

Having absorbed the Violet Aura, the Mysterious Jade Golden Bamboo faintly shimmered with a violet hue, its jade-gold color transforming into a shade of violet-gold.

"This Mysterious Jade Golden Bamboo..."

Observing the Mysterious Jade Golden Bamboo that had absorbed the Primordial Chaos Violet Aura, Eldrin Chen revealed a look of astonishment.

Unlocked by the Primordial Chaos Violet Aura, this Mysterious Jade Golden Bamboo seemed to have undergone an unusual mutation. It was not transforming into a Jade Marrow Golden Bamboo Shoot as expected.

After a moment of deduction, Eldrin Chen surmised this was a newly evolved, post-Celestial Immortal [the foundational stage of true immortality] bamboo species. Perhaps it would be more fitting to call it Violet Jade Golden Bamboo. Enjoyed this chapter? Read more at @udio-novel.com.

"A newly sprouted immortal bamboo, yet it is not the Jade Marrow Golden Bamboo Shoot [a legendary spiritual herb known for its marrow-like golden essence]. It is hard to tell if this is a blessing or a curse."

Eldrin Chen murmured to himself. After a long while, he shook his head. Though the Violet Jade Golden Bamboo [a rare and mystical bamboo with violet-jade hues] might be extraordinary, it was not the Jade Marrow Golden Bamboo Shoot he sought.

It seemed relying on the Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [the primordial violet energy of chaos, foundational to creation] would not be sufficient to cultivate the Jade Marrow Golden Bamboo Shoot.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen suppressed his musings and departed from the Spirit Herb Garden [a garden dedicated to cultivating spiritual herbs], heading towards the Alchemy Chamber [a specialized chamber for pill refinement].

This journey had yielded several stalks of Primordial Solar Fruit [a fruit imbued with the essence of the primordial sun] and Primal Shadow Flower [a flower that blooms in the deepest shadows]. It was time to refine the Polarity Supreme Polarity Pill [a supreme elixir that harmonizes the dual polarities of yin and yang].

With Eldrin Chen's current mastery of alchemy, refining the Polarity Supreme Polarity Pill had become almost effortless. Before long, he had successfully completed three separate batches of the elixir.

"..."

Time flowed like a river, and three hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

Early one morning, Eldrin Chen summoned Verdant Consort and Exquisite Jiang and declared, "The three-century pact has come due. It is time for me to honor my appointment with Verdant Sparse Immortal."

"On this journey, remember: safety must be your paramount concern."

Seeing this, Exquisite Jiang was still quite concerned and reminded him.

Eldrin Chen nodded. He took out the Polarity Supreme Polarity Pill and the Ascendant Immortal Creation Pill from his bosom and handed them to the two Mortal Path cultivators:

"After these years of recuperation, your vital essence has mostly recovered. You can attempt to make a further breakthrough now."

"Take these Immortal Pill [pills of immense power that can aid an immortal's cultivation]. I hope that by the time I return, you will have already broken through to the Mid Ascendant Immortal Realm."

"..."

After leaving the Immortal Pill and treasures with the two, Eldrin Chen departed from Green Chariot Immortal Island.

He traveled alone this time, carrying only his Five Lifebound Immortal Treasures [powerful artifacts bound to his life force] and no other treasures.

Journeying out from the Crimson Dragon Sea, Eldrin Chen traversed the Heavenly Demon Sea and passed through seven or eight other sea regions. Unconsciously, he arrived at the Meteor Sea.

"So this is the Meteor Sea?"

Gazing upon the Meteor Sea, Eldrin Chen's eyes flickered slightly.

The Vast Azure Immortal Domain [the primary realm of the immortals] stretches boundlessly. Though Eldrin Chen has ascended for many years now, his understanding of this Immortal Domain has remained largely confined to this Western Essence Divine Abyss Sea [one of the seven great seas of the Vast Azure Immortal Domain].

From what Eldrin Chen knows, the Western Essence Divine Abyss Sea is one of the seven seas of Vast Azure [the overarching domain], located in the Western Pole Lands [the westernmost region] of the Vast Azure Immortal Domain. It is considered a relatively remote and desolate corner of the domain.

The Western Essence Divine Abyss Sea derives its name from the two Grotto-Heaven [self-contained paradisiacal realms] named 'Western Essence' and 'Divine Abyss'. Its vast territory is said to contain three thousand lesser seas.

These three thousand seas and their Immortal Isles [islands inhabited by immortals] cluster together, further subdivided into thirty-three major domains. The Flowing Stream Hundred Seas [the Hundred Seas of Flowing Streams] is one of these thirty-three major domains.

The Crimson Dragon Sea where Eldrin Chen resides, along with the neighboring Lingering Sun Sea, Heavenly Demon Sea, and Glazed Sea, are all located within the bounds of the Flowing Stream Hundred Seas.

The Flowing Stream Hundred Seas is composed of over a hundred seas. Its most central and vital region is the Meteor Sea [the Sea of Falling Stars], where Eldrin Chen currently finds himself. Experience the full epic at audi0-n0vel.c0m.

"Eldrin the Worthy Brother."

As Eldrin Chen's thoughts drifted, a familiar voice called out to him.

He looked up to see Verdant Sparse Immortal approaching with a warm smile.

Upon seeing Eldrin Chen, Verdant Sparse Immortal spoke with great enthusiasm, "Eldrin the Worthy Brother, you have finally arrived. I have been waiting for you for quite some time."

It turned out that the original agreement between Verdant Sparse Immortal and Eldrin Chen was to meet here in the Meteor Sea [a vast celestial sea named for the meteors that streak through its skies], and then proceed together to explore the ruins of the Polarity Immortal Sect [a long-lost sect that cultivated the profound mysteries of opposing cosmic forces].

Seeing Verdant Sparse Immortal's enthusiastic demeanor, Eldrin Chen smiled and said, "I apologize for keeping you waiting, Fellow Daoist."

Verdant Sparse Immortal, noticing Eldrin Chen's curiosity about the Meteor Sea, volunteered, "I presume this is your first visit to the Meteor Sea, Worthy Brother. Allow me to guide you and share its wonders."

"Then I shall trouble you, Fellow Daoist," Eldrin Chen replied.

With a light smile, Eldrin Chen followed Verdant Sparse Immortal as they ventured deeper into the heart of the Meteor Sea.

As they journeyed further into the Meteor Sea domain, Verdant Sparse Immortal began to recount the history and nature of this place to Eldrin Chen.

The Meteor Sea was the foremost among the Flowing Stream Hundred Seas [a collective name for a hundred interconnected celestial seas], and the dominant Immortal Sect [a powerful organization dedicated to the pursuit of immortality and cultivation arts] holding sway here was a formidable power known as the Flowing Fire Star Palace.

Speaking of the Flowing Fire Star Palace, Verdant Sparse Immortal adopted a tone of utmost gravity. "The Flowing Fire lineage is the most powerful Immortal Sect within the Flowing Stream Hundred Seas."

"This lineage has been passed down for tens of millions of years, with an unbroken succession of Earth Immortal [a high-level cultivator who has achieved a profound connection with the earth and its energies] patriarchs. The present era is considered its most glorious age."

"Oh?" Eldrin Chen responded, his interest piqued.

Eldrin Chen's eyes flickered slightly as he listened intently to the words of Verdant Sparse Immortal.

Verdant Sparse Immortal let out a sigh before speaking. "Within the Flowing Fire Star Palace, there resides an Earth Immortal [a powerful immortal whose power is anchored to the mortal world] who has survived five Path Tribulation [cosmic trials that test an immortal's cultivation and resolve]."

"He has lived for nearly fifty million years. Legend holds that his cultivation has already surpassed the limits of an Earth Immortal and can be considered an existence at the level of a Half-Step Celestial Immortal [one who has partially transcended the mortal realm but not fully ascended to the heavens]."

"A Half-Step Celestial Immortal?"

Eldrin Chen's heart shuddered, and an expression of utmost gravity settled upon his face.

An ancient Earth Immortal who has lived for fifty million years—such an existence could be called a living history book without exaggeration.

To an ancient Immortal of this caliber, even a civilization spanning thousands or tens of thousands of years would seem frighteningly ephemeral.

Fifty million years of cultivation, fifty million years of accumulated foundation... even a pig might have ascended to immortality in that time, let alone a supremely talented Earth Immortal.

Eldrin Chen had an inkling that the other party's strength was likely so immense it could shake the heavens and earth.

Noticing his expression, Verdant Sparse Immortal understood his thoughts and remarked with a touch of emotion, "Your guess is correct."

"Such a Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a cultivator who has transcended the Earth Immortal realm but not yet fully ascended to Celestial Immortal status], their power has already surpassed the absolute limits of an Earth Immortal [a powerful immortal whose power is rooted in and draws from the earth]."

"With a snap of their fingers, they can shroud a great thousand Cosmos [realms or worlds]. A single strand of their hair can sever and extinguish a sky full of Starry River [a metaphorical reference to celestial bodies or powerful beings]. A mere opening of their eyes is sufficient to World-Opening [perform the primordial act of creating or cleaving open a new world or reality]."

"Even the Patriarch [the founding or leading elder] of our Lingering Sun Blessed Land [a sacred realm or paradise associated with the setting sun]..."

Verdant Sparse Immortal's words paused briefly, and he could not help but shake his head with a bitter smile. "Even the Earth Immortal Patriarch [the Earth Immortal founding elder] of our Lingering Sun Blessed Land, facing him, would be like a helpless infant."

"This..."

Eldrin Chen's pupils contracted sharply, and a nameless sense of dread inexplicably gripped his heart.

The ability to shroud a thousand Cosmos with a finger-snap, to sever a sky full of Stellar [pertaining to stars or celestial bodies] with a strand of hair, to World-Opening with a mere glance—such earth-shattering, heaven-startling power truly filled him with awe and terror.

The sheer magnitude of this disparity made Eldrin Chen feel like an ant gazing up at a Heavenly Dragon [a divine dragon of immense power, a being of legend].

Seeing his expression, Verdant Sparse Immortal took a deep breath and continued, "Such an existence, whether in terms of innate talent or sheer power, represents the very pinnacle among Immortal [transcendent beings who have achieved immortality through cultivation]."
