Chapter 1104 : The Glazed Boundary's Blessing

This was already astonishing enough. To Eldrin Chen's knowledge, the environment within the Lingering Sun Blessed Land [a land blessed with spiritual energy, ideal for cultivation] was likely no better than this.

Under the envelopment of the Stellar Glazed Boundary [a powerful defensive and energy-gathering formation], the cultivation environment atop Green Chariot Mountain was now, in truth, not inferior to many Earth Immortal Blessed Land [lands of profound spiritual energy, typically the domain of Earth Immortals].

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen could not help but smile and say, "Our Stellar Glazed Boundary has already acquired some of the characteristics of a true Blessed Land."

"Its sole shortcoming is that the Stellar Glazed Boundary only covers a radius of ten thousand Li-length [one Li-length equals five hundred meters], and can at most sustain the cultivation of nine Immortal [beings who have transcended mortality through cultivation]."

Verdant Consort nodded in agreement upon hearing this. A true Earth Immortal Blessed Land could cover at least a million Li-length and sustain an Earth Immortal Patriarch [a powerful patriarch who has attained the Earth Immortal realm] along with over a hundred other Immortal, multiplying their cultivation speed severalfold.

In comparison, the Stellar Glazed Boundary merely covered ten thousand Li-length and could only support nine Immortal. Its efficacy was likely less than one percent of a true Earth Immortal Blessed Land.

Yet, even so, this was astonishing enough.

At the very least, for Future and Eldrin Chen, their cultivation environment was now in no way inferior to that of an Earth Immortal Blessed Land.

Thinking this, Verdant Consort could not help but say, "With the Stellar Glazed Boundary, perhaps before the next Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic event ordained by fate or heavenly law], we truly have a chance to break through to the Late Ascendant Immortal Realm [an advanced stage of the Ascendant Immortal cultivation realm]."

Eldrin Chen gave a slow nod, his gaze fixed upon the Glazed Stellar Realm shimmering high above the Heavenly Vault. "If the Solar, Lunar, and Stellar Pearls [three enchanted orbs representing the sun, moon, and stars] could advance further, reaching the realm of Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure [the pinnacle grade of immortal artifacts]," he mused.

"Then the might of the Glazed Stellar Realm [a grand defensive formation] would likely increase by more than tenfold."

"Is that truly possible?"

Exquisite Jiang felt a surge of pleasant surprise, a flicker of excitement crossing her features.

Yet, after a moment's contemplation, she shook her head. "The current Glazed Stellar Realm already holds value surpassing a Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure, yet it remains of little use to an Earth Immortal Patriarch [a patriarch who has attained the Earth Immortal realm, a high level of cultivation].

"If its power were to increase tenfold upon reaching the supreme grade, even an Earth Immortal Patriarch might be tempted to seize it. With our current strength, we could not defend such a treasure."

"I understand,"

Eldrin Chen acknowledged with another nod before continuing. "These Solar, Lunar, and Stellar Pearls can absorb the radiance of the Sun and Moon and the Stellar [celestial] light, granting them a sliver of potential to ascend from High-Grade Immortal Treasure [a high-grade immortal artifact] to the supreme grade."

"Even so, each pearl would require at least three strands of Acquired Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [a rare and potent primordial energy] to successfully advance. At present, I do not possess such a quantity of Acquired Primordial Chaos Violet Aura."

Hearing this, the two women could not help but feel a sense of helplessness. For all three Stellar Treasure Pearl [another name for the Solar, Lunar, and Stellar Pearls] to reach the supreme grade would require a total of nine strands of Acquired Primordial Chaos Violet Aura.

This requires the accumulation of four thousand five hundred years, a feat that is by no means accomplished in a single day.

Thinking this, Verdant Consort nodded slightly and said, "It's fine. For now, it is sufficient."

Eldrin Chen smiled and then looked at the Stellar Glazed Boundary [a grand formation that harnesses stellar energies]. "No need to overthink it. Let us first test the cultivation efficacy of the Stellar Glazed Boundary."

"Agreed."

Upon hearing this, the two women immediately sat cross-legged within the Stellar Glazed Boundary and began to draw upon the Stellar Glazed Celestial Radiance [a divine radiance of purified stellar essence] for their cultivation.

Thus, time flowed swiftly by, and in the blink of an eye, a full Sixty-Year Cycle [a cycle of sixty years] had passed.

On this day, as Eldrin Chen was refining his spiritual power to consolidate his foundation, he suddenly sensed someone calling to him. His eyes snapped open.

"Who dares disturb my secluded cultivation?"

"..."

At the same moment, within the mortal dust of the Purple Seal Realm [a lower realm world], atop the peak of Green Chariot Mountain.

Within a solemn Great Hall, several figures of Extraordinary bearing gathered.

Had an outsider been present, they would have recognized that each of these individuals was a Primordial Solar Path Lord whose name shook the Purple Seal Realm.

The weakest among them possessed cultivation at the Primordial Spirit 7th Tier level. Any one of them, stepping out into the world, would be received with the highest honors by the great Path Lord Sacred Lands.

For the Chen Clan of Eastern Barrens was one of the most glorious Immortal Clans in the history of the Purple Seal Realm, its veins flowing with a supreme and exalted bloodline.

The names of each person present here were already inscribed in the annals of Purple Seal history. They were among the most revered existences between heaven and earth, having accumulated immense Merits for this world.

Yet these Path Lords, whose might shook the heavens, now wore expressions of utmost gravity. For the best reading experience, visit *audio-novel.com*.

The white-haired elder at their head appeared somewhat calmer. He retrieved a precious incense stick carved with immortal patterns and lit it with meticulous care.

"*Hummm—*"

The moment the Immortal Trace Incense was lit, a wisp of azure smoke coiled upwards, seeming to pierce through the veils separating the mortal and immortal realms.

With a soft sound, the void behind the smoke appeared to tear open, revealing a scene of breathtaking, otherworldly beauty.

It was a world of breathtaking splendor, filled with the Stellar Glazed Celestial Radiance [a radiant, star-like celestial light], where the Sun and Moon and Stellar [celestial bodies] seemed close enough to touch, as if one could pluck the stars from the sky with a bare hand.

Within that Stellar Glazed Celestial Radiance, amidst the boundless mists of immortal energy, a White-robed Banished Immortal [an immortal exiled from the heavens, often of peerless grace and power] opened his eyes.

"Who dares disturb my secluded cultivation?"

The White-robed Banished Immortal murmured, his gaze seeming to pierce the boundary between the immortal and mortal realms until he finally discerned the scene within the Mortal Dust [the mortal world, realm of dust and toil].

"The homeland of Purple Seal."

Eldrin Chen spoke calmly, his eyes sweeping over the assembled figures, immediately recognizing several familiar faces.

There were seven individuals who had lit the Immortal Trace Incense [a special incense used to send a signal or summon an immortal]. Among them were the Old Patriarch Eternal Profound Chen, Kael Chen, Eternal Night Chen, Support Revive Chen, and his second disciple, Lu Thalion.

The remaining two were a woman of peerless beauty, naturally the Solar Fire Vermilion Bird [a mythical firebird, a divine beast of the south associated with the sun], and an elderly cultivator, who was Ancestor Mystery Chen.

With a single glance, Eldrin Chen perceived that among those present, the Old Patriarch Eternal Profound Chen, Kael Chen, and Ethan Chen had all cultivated to the Demigod Realm [a realm of power just below that of a true immortal god].

Both Support Revive Chen and Literature Abyss Lu possessed cultivation at the Primordial Spirit 9th Tier [the ninth and highest tier of the Primordial Spirit stage], while Ancestor Mystery Chen's cultivation was at the Primordial Spirit 7th Tier.

Eldrin Chen remembered Ancestor Mystery Chen. This individual possessed a Four Spiritual Root [a cultivation aptitude considered average] and achieved Foundation Establishment [the second major realm of cultivation] through his own efforts. In his early years, his cultivation progress appeared utterly unremarkable, yet he managed to ascend all the way to the Primordial Spirit 7th Tier [the seventh level of the Primordial Spirit realm, a high stage of cultivation]. This clearly marked him as one whose profound wisdom was concealed beneath a guise of simplicity.

Now, he had cultivated to the Late Stage of the Primordial Spirit realm. With the aptitude of a Four Spiritual Root, his hopes of achieving immortality in the future were by no means small. Eternal Profound Chen had most likely brought him along for this introduction precisely so he could offer some guidance and support.

As for the final member of their party, the Solar Fire Vermilion Bird [a mythical fire-attribute avian demon beast], she had been merely half a step away from immortality even before Eldrin Chen's ascension to the Immortal Realm.

"And now..."

Eldrin Chen's gaze shifted subtly. He could faintly perceive strands of Immortal Spirit Essence [the purified spiritual energy characteristic of an immortal] coiling around the Solar Fire Vermilion Bird's form, confirming that she had successfully transcended her tribulation and ascended to immortality.

With this realization, Eldrin Chen looked at the Old Patriarch and spoke with a warm smile, "It has been over four thousand years. I trust you have been well, Old Granduncle?"

"We have enjoyed peace for several millennia. The clan now boasts several dozen Primordial Spirit cultivators and sits firmly as the foremost Immortal Clan [a clan with a lineage of immortal cultivators] within the Purple Seal Realm."

Eternal Profound Chen stroked his beard with a hearty laugh at these words, then continued, "All is well within the clan. But tell me, have you managed to establish a foothold for yourself within the Immortal Realm?"

"An Immortal Isle [a floating landmass in the Immortal Realm], a populace of millions... While we cannot yet claim to command awe across the region, a foundation has indeed been laid," Eldrin Chen replied calmly.

His gaze then turned towards the Solar Fire Vermilion Bird. "You summoned me," he asked, "concerning Little Sparrow's imminent ascension?"

"Hmm, but that is not all."

Eternal Profound Chen revealed a faint smile as he looked at Solar Fire Vermilion Bird and said, "A hundred years ago, Blazing Emperor successfully weathered the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation [the ultimate trial of heavenly lightning that cultivators must face to ascend to a higher realm], and has only recently consolidated her cultivation base."

"The reason I sought you out this time is to request a Path Marker [a mystical token that guides a soul to a specific destination after ascension] from you, so that after she ascends, she may seek refuge with you."

Eldrin Chen nodded in understanding, realizing that during the years of his absence, Solar Fire Vermilion Bird had forged a formidable reputation within the Purple Seal Realm, earning the reverence of its cultivators who honored her with the title Blazing Emperor.

This was no minor honorific, for within the Purple Seal Realm, those deemed worthy of the title 'Emperor' were invariably peerless talents who dominated their era.

For instance, 'Ruins Path Jiang' was revered as Imperial Sovereign Jiang, and 'Energy Abyss Chen' was honored as Eastern Sovereign—both were figures of unparalleled prowess.

At this thought, Eldrin Chen could not help but chuckle, "To think that after several millennia, you, little sparrow, have also attained the Dao."

"Since that is the case, here is the Path Marker."

Eternal Profound Chen accepted the Path Marker and said with a smile, "This Path Marker is not solely for Blazing Phoenix; it is also intended for a few other fellow Daoists within the Purple Seal Realm."

"Oh?"

Eldrin Chen's eyes flickered slightly as he heard Eternal Profound Chen say, "Both the Black Tortoise Patriarch and the Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace have already attained immortality [ascended to the rank of Immortal] several centuries ago."

"They have no kin in the Immortal Realm [the higher realm where Immortals reside]. They plan to seek refuge with you after their ascension." Continue reading this story at audio-novel[dot]com.
