Chapter 1106 : The Guardians' Immortal Gift

The Sun Consort stood guard outside the cave abode alongside the Moon Consort and the Star Consort, each of them wearing an expression of solemn vigilance.

As Eldrin Chen arrived, the Sun Consort spoke with grave seriousness, "Within a hundred years, Nyssa and the Patriarch should emerge from seclusion."

"Whether they can forge the legendary Nine-Colored Immortal Shell constitution hinges entirely upon these final, crucial hundred years."

Eldrin Chen took a deep breath and withdrew several scrolls of scripture from his sleeve. "You have all worked hard caring for them during this time. Please accept these texts as a humble token of my gratitude."

"Oh?"

The three consorts accepted the scrolls. Upon glancing at hers, the Moon Consort could not suppress a gasp of astonishment. "The Supreme Lunar Soul Refinement Art [a supreme scripture for tempering the soul with lunar essence]!"

The techniques Eldrin Chen had gifted were none other than the Solar Body Tempering Scripture, the Supreme Lunar Soul Refinement Art, and his own Primordial Solar Heavenly Flame Scripture.

Among these three methods, the Solar Body Tempering Scripture and the Supreme Lunar Soul Refinement Art were both peerless Immortal Scripture [scriptures containing profound cultivation arts] of the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm.

Although the Primordial Solar Heavenly Flame Scripture could only be cultivated to the Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier, it was a part of the Primordial One Heavenly Scripture [the foundational scripture of the Primordial One lineage] that Eldrin Chen had created himself. While not as profound as the first two scrolls, it embodied a purer, more direct form of solar essence.

The Sun Consort took the Solar Body Tempering Scripture and the Primordial Solar Heavenly Flame Scripture. After studying them for a moment, she nodded in appreciation. The complete novel can be found at (audio-novel.com).

"Over these years, I have integrated your Primordial Solar Heavenly Flame Scripture into my own Immortal Scripture [a supreme cultivation manual], augmenting my strength by roughly ten percent."

"Now that you have refined your Primordial Solar Heavenly Flame Scripture to the Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier [the ninth and highest tier of the Ascendant Immortal realm] and delivered the Solar Body Tempering Scripture [a scripture for tempering the physical body with solar essence], it is indeed of immense help to me."

"I have a premonition..."

At this point, Sun Consort took a deep breath and said, "After fully assimilating these two volumes of Immortal Scripture, my comprehension of the Great Sun Path Principles [the fundamental laws of the Great Sun cultivation path] can be enhanced by over thirty percent, and my spiritual power will also see significant growth."

"It seems the Fifth Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic event of cosmic scale] over fifty thousand years from now may very well be the time for my Earth Immortal Tribulation [the heavenly trial to ascend to the Earth Immortal realm]."

Holding the Supreme Lunar Soul Refining Scripture, Moon Consort also nodded slightly and said, "This Supreme Lunar Soul Refining Scripture [a scripture for refining the soul with supreme lunar essence] is quite useful to me as well. Originally, I had only a fifty percent certainty of breaking through to the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm [a quasi-realm just below the full Earth Immortal realm]."

"Now it appears that by the time the next Great Tribulation erupts, my confidence in achieving the Half-Step Earth Immortal breakthrough has risen to seventy or eighty percent."

Only Star Consort wore a bitter smile, saying helplessly, "Unfortunately, I cultivate the Stellar Path Principles [the fundamental laws of stellar cultivation]. These are of no use to me."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen could only offer a wry smile. He possessed no Stellar-aligned Immortal Scripture, and thus could offer no assistance in this matter.

Regardless, the fact that Eldrin Chen had delivered three exceptionally rare volumes of Immortal Scripture filled the three consorts' hearts with considerable joy.

The Sun Consort retrieved the Primordial Unity Golden Foil Paper [a special paper imbued with primordial unity energy, used for recording profound scriptures], carefully inscribed the Immortal Scripture [a sacred text containing immortal cultivation methods] onto it, and only then handed the scroll to Eldrin Chen. She then inquired:

"You have presented such a precious and generous gift. It would be remiss of me not to offer something in return. Is there anything you desire?"

"The Glazed Blessed Land has shown great kindness to Nyssa. How could I dare to seek further recompense?"

Eldrin Chen shook his head, promptly refusing.

The Sun Consort smiled faintly, her expression serene as she said, "One matter is separate from another. By aiding Nyssa in forging her Nine-Colored Immortal Shell [a legendary constitution of the Immortal Clam Clan, signifying supreme potential] foundation today, we may well require your assistance in the future when the Patriarch attempts his breakthrough to the Celestial Immortal [a high realm of immortal cultivation] realm."

"Let us exchange treasures today. Our Glazed Blessed Land is not lacking in precious artifacts."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen finally gave a slight nod of assent.

Yet, when it came to choosing a treasure for himself, Eldrin Chen found himself at a loss.

The Immortal Clam Clan was renowned for nurturing Immortal Artifacts [powerful enchanted artifacts used by immortals] and Exotic Treasures [rare and wondrous magical items]. The wealth of the Glazed Blessed Land was famed throughout the entire Western Essence Divine Abyss Sea, its vaults holding treasures beyond counting. This very abundance left Eldrin Chen uncertain of what to select.

After much contemplation, thinking of Lila and Violet Consort Yan who were still in secluded cultivation, Eldrin Chen could not help but ask, "Might the Glazed Blessed Land possess any treasures that could aid a Primordial Spirit Cultivator [a cultivator whose core spiritual essence has taken form] in their Path Principles Comprehension [the profound understanding of the fundamental laws of the cultivation path]?"

"A treasure that aids in Path Principles Comprehension?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Consort was momentarily taken aback. After a brief moment of contemplation, she spoke, "Within the Ascendant Immortal Realm, there are many treasures that can assist an Immortal in Path Principles Comprehension. However, those capable of producing truly extraordinary effects are likely only three in number."

"They are the Spiritual Root known as the 'Ancient Enlightenment Tea Tree', the Enlightenment Dharma Immortal Artifact, and the Path Principles Celestial Stele."

At this point, Sun Consort paused briefly before continuing with a grave expression, "Among these three, the most precious is the Path Principles Celestial Stele, followed by the Spiritual Root, and lastly, the Enlightenment Dharma Immortal Artifact."

"Our Glazed Blessed Land possesses three Enlightenment Dharma Immortal Artifact. I can grant you one."

As she spoke, Sun Consort personally went to the Treasure Vault and retrieved a piece of immortal jade wreathed in swirling immortal mist. Original publication: audio-novel dot com - The source of this chapter.

She handed it to Eldrin Chen and said with solemn gravity, "This treasure is called the Heart of Heaven Jade. By holding it while contemplating the Path Principles Power, one can enter a state of Celestial Being [a profound state of unity between the cultivator and the surrounding cosmic principles]."

Eldrin Chen nodded in understanding. In the mortal realms, a Primordial Spirit Path Lord could achieve Celestial-Mortal Symbiosis [a state of harmony between the celestial and mortal aspects of existence].

However, the Heavenly Path [the fundamental laws and principles governing the cosmos] within the Immortal Domain was profound and inscrutable. Only great powers at the level of Celestial Immortal could truly commune with the Heavenly Path of the Vast Azure Immortal Domain.

The Heart of Heaven Jade allowed its wielder to enter the Celestial Being state. This unity was not a complete fusion with the Heavenly Path, but it enabled profound perception of the cosmic energies surrounding one's being—a capability truly remarkable in its own right.

In such a state, an Immortal comprehending Path Principles Power would be as clear as reading the lines on one's own palm, and their cultivation speed would undoubtedly increase dramatically.

At this point, Sun Consort paused, then said thoughtfully, "It's a pity this Heart of Heaven Jade is flawed, merely a low-grade Immortal Artifact. Its usefulness for cultivators in the mid to late stages of the Ascendant Immortal realm is greatly diminished."

Eldrin Chen nodded in agreement upon hearing this. The value of an Exotic Treasure like the Heart of Heaven Jade was at least several dozen times that of an Immortal Artifact of the same rank.

If it were a flawless, supreme-grade Heart of Heaven Jade, it would be considered a priceless treasure even for the supreme powerhouses of the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm, something even an Earth Immortal Patriarch would fight to obtain as a legacy treasure. The Glazed Blessed Land would never have gifted it to him.

However, even though this Heart of Heaven Jade was flawed, Eldrin Chen felt profoundly satisfied.

After all, for Lila and Violet Consort Yan, this treasure might just be the key to helping them break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm [the spiritual core realm of a cultivator].

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen stored the Heart of Heaven Jade and then inquired, "I know of the Enlightenment Tea Tree [a legendary tree whose leaves aid in spiritual enlightenment], but what is this Path Principles Celestial Stele you mentioned?"

"The Path Principles Celestial Stele?"

Mention of the Path Principles Celestial Stele caused Sun Consort's gaze to flicker, a hint of avarice appearing as she said, "The Path Principles Celestial Stele is a truly peerless treasure."

"Legend says that in the distant past, when the Vast Azure Immortal Domain first took form between heaven and earth, a total of three hundred sixty-five Path Principles Celestial Stele [celestial monuments inscribed with the fundamental laws of the cosmos] were born into the world."

"That Path Principles Celestial Stele [a divine monument inscribed with the fundamental laws of cultivation] fell into the depths of the Vast Azure Immortal Domain, merging with the billions of Path Principles Power [the fundamental energies that constitute the laws of reality] between heaven and earth. If a cultivator is fated to Path Principles Comprehension [comprehend the laws] from the Celestial Stele, it is akin to indirectly touching upon the source of those billions of Path Principles."

"For Immortals like you at the Ascendant Immortal Realm, if you are fated to Path Principles Comprehension from the Celestial Stele, you will most likely be able to advance your own Path Principles to the Sky-Touching Realm."

"However, we who are Half-Step Earth Immortal have already pushed our comprehension of Path Principles Power beyond even Ascendant Immortal Perfection and have begun to perceive the elusive Rule Power [the power of the fundamental cosmic rules that govern all existence]."

"Thus, for us, this Path Principles Celestial Stele holds little remaining utility."

Speaking to this point, Sun Consort drew a deep breath and said, "Legend speaks of seven Path Principles Celestial Stele within the Western Essence Divine Abyss Sea. The two Grotto-Heaven [a type of blessed realm] of Western Essence Divine Abyss hold six of them between them."

"The remaining single Path Principles Celestial Stele opens once every one hundred thousand years, each time granting only three thousand slots."

"The next opening of the Path Principles Celestial Stele will be in several tens of thousands of years. If you wish to Path Principles Comprehension from the Celestial Stele, I am afraid you will still have to fight for the chance." For more chapters, visit audio‑novel.com for the complete novel.
