Chapter 1108 : The Final Heavenly Tribulation

It could be said that this object was something that Nyssa Qu shared her very life force with [a treasure intimately connected to its owner's vitality]. Generally, it would not be used lightly, and once activated, its power would naturally shake the heavens and earth.

They watched as the Nine-Colored Immortal Pearl soared into the Heavenly Vault [the celestial dome of the sky], withstanding the seventh and eighth bolts of Heavenly Thunder Tribulation [divine lightning sent as a trial by the heavens] in succession, its radiance only dimming considerably afterward.

Seeing that the power of the Nine-Colored Immortal Pearl was mostly depleted, and to prevent the treasure from being damaged, Nyssa Qu withdrew it.

Knowing this, she lifted her head, her gaze fixed on the final bolt of Heavenly Thunder Tribulation gathering in the Heavenly Vault, a trace of solemnity coloring her expression.

"BOOM—"

As the final, cataclysmic bolt of Heavenly Thunder Tribulation crashed down from the Heavenly Vault, Eldrin Chen's expression turned utterly grave.

The power of this last tribulation lightning was truly staggering, its force approaching the domain of a Ascendant Immortal 6th Tier [a cultivator who has ascended to the sixth tier of the Ascendant Immortal realm]. Even an Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality through cultivation] at the Mid Ascendant Immortal Realm would pale before it. Facing this heavenly wrath directly, Nyssa Qu herself grew slightly ashen.

At this moment, she had to suppress her nine-colored foundation [the unique, multi-hued spiritual core she had cultivated] and dared not mobilize too much of her Immortal Essence [the refined, immortal-grade energy cultivated by ascended beings]. Relying on ordinary means alone, she likely could not withstand this final bolt of Heavenly Thunder Tribulation.

Fortunately, Nyssa Qu had cultivated the Dao for many years, and her Dao-heart [the unwavering, enlightened core of a cultivator's will] could be considered exceptionally firm. She did not panic or lose her composure.

With a fierce grit of her teeth, she spat out a mouthful of Vital Essence Blood [a cultivator's lifeblood, infused with potent spiritual energy, often used to empower techniques at great cost]. Then, she channeled her power into a Seven-Colored Glazed Umbrella, which unfurled above her. Support the author by reading on audio-novel.com.

This Seven-Colored Glazed Umbrella is a formidable defensive Immortal Treasure [a supreme grade of enchanted artifact], a decisive magical treasure [an enchanted artifact used by cultivators] bestowed upon Nyssa Qu by Glazed Divine Lord to aid her in overcoming her tribulation.

At this moment, the Seven-Colored Glazed Umbrella shot forth, instantly unfurling to shield the expanse of the void, steadfastly blocking the final Heavenly Thunder Tribulation [the climactic heavenly lightning strike of a cultivation tribulation].

"*Hum—*"

As the last Heavenly Thunder Tribulation was overcome, the tribulation clouds above the Heavenly Vault [the celestial dome of the sky] gradually began to disperse.

Then, from within the boundless Tribulation Cloud [the ominous clouds that gather for a heavenly tribulation], a shower of billions of immortal light rays and rainbow rain descended, accompanied by three strands of Origin Immortal Energy [the purest, foundational energy of immortality] that cascaded down.

Nyssa Qu absorbed all three strands of Origin Immortal Energy and the radiant shower. The Nine-Colored Immortal Radiance [a divine aura of nine colors signifying a profound immortal foundation] surrounding her body visibly solidified before one's eyes.

"Success."

Witnessing Nyssa Qu's triumph, Eldrin Chen swiftly flew up to the Heavenly Vault, catching her in an embrace as he asked, "How are your injuries?"

"It is nothing serious."

Though her complexion was somewhat pale, Nyssa Qu smiled and said, "I merely expended some Vital Essence Blood [the concentrated life force and blood essence of a cultivator]. I will recover after a period of rest and recuperation."

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod, a breath of relief escaping him internally.

At that very moment, Glazed Divine Lord approached, stepping through the air. Gazing at the two, she smiled and said, "With Nyssa now having forged the foundation of a Nine-Colored Immortal Clam [a mythical clam of supreme purity and potential], her future prospects are boundless. Our lineage of the Seven-Hued Immortal Shell [the ancestral heritage of the multi-colored immortal clams] finally has hope of rising once more."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen promptly clasped his hands in salute. "We must still offer our deepest thanks for your assistance, Senior. This great kindness is one we shall surely remember in our hearts."

For beings of their stature, Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality through cultivation], even a drop of kindness should be repaid with a fountain's worth, let alone a grace as profound as aiding one's path to enlightenment.

By helping Nyssa Qu forge the foundation of a Seven-Hued Immortal Shell, Eldrin Chen and his dao companion owed Glazed Divine Lord a debt of immeasurable magnitude, one they were bound to repay in the future.

"There is no need for such formality. Nyssa is, after all, one of my own kin."

Glazed Divine Lord remained composed, merely inclining her head slightly as she spoke.

After Nyssa Qu's ascension to the state of a Nine-Colored Immortal Clam, her innate talent had become one of the most exceptional within the entire Vast Azure Immortal Domain.

To prevent her profound foundation from being discerned by certain Earth Immortal Patriarch [powerful patriarchs at the Earth Immortal realm], she could not leave the Glazed Sea until after her breakthrough to the Earth Immortal realm [the stage of an immortal deeply connected to the world's essence].

Therefore, Eldrin Chen did not immediately return to the Crimson Dragon Sea. Instead, he remained within the Glazed Blessed Land [a land suffused with spiritual energy and divine favor], staying by Nyssa Qu's side for a full century.

After a full century had passed, and seeing that figures like Black Tortoise Patriarch [the patriarch of the Black Tortoise lineage] were on the verge of their celestial ascension, Eldrin Chen finally prepared to take his leave.

Before his departure, Eldrin Chen sought out Glazed Divine Lord [a title for a powerful immortal lord] to request a letter of introduction.

After listening, Glazed Divine Lord replied with a grave expression, "Although Myriad Spirit Patriarch [the patriarch of myriad spirits] and I have been close friends for many years, he is known to be fiercely protective of his own."

"He views the Worldly Spiritual Root [a sentient spiritual root of immense power] as his own child. To purchase it from his hands will likely prove exceedingly difficult."

Eldrin Chen frowned slightly at his brow but pressed on, "What Patriarch Myriad Spirit fears, I presume, is that the Worldly Spiritual Root would be severed to serve as a Four Extremities Celestial Pillar [a foundational pillar for stabilizing a realm]."

"The Enlightenment Tea Tree [a legendary tree whose leaves aid in cultivation breakthroughs] I seek is for my own cultivation path. I would nurture it with utmost care; how could I bear to see its Spiritual Root [the vital foundation of a spiritual plant] damaged?" Experience the full epic at audio novel.com.

"That is a fair point,"

Glazed Divine Lord nodded in agreement. Acquired Spiritual Root [a spiritual root that gains sentience through cultivation] were exceedingly rare and special. Aside from a handful of specific Demon God [powerful demonic beings], the vast majority of Immortal [celestial cultivators] would cherish and protect them.

Even within a Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land [a superior realm for cultivation, a paradise], unless it truly concerned a pivotal moment on one's path to the Great Dao, most would be reluctant to destroy such a Spiritual Root.

Contemplating this, Glazed Divine Lord said thoughtfully, "I can write you a letter of introduction. However, whether you succeed or not will depend entirely on your ability to persuade Myriad Spirit Patriarch."

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen could not help but reveal a faint smile. "I am grateful for your assistance, Senior," he said.

"..."

With the letter of recommendation in hand, Eldrin Chen immediately set off for the Crimson Dragon Sea.

He did not proceed directly to the Myriad Spirit Sea. As the imminent ascension of Black Tortoise Patriarch and the others was at hand, he planned to first escort the three of them back to Green Chariot Mountain before making further plans.

Upon returning to Green Chariot Mountain, Eldrin Chen promptly shared the good news of Nyssa Qu's successful tribulation transcendence with Exquisite Jiang and the others. He also informed the group about the Ancient Enlightenment Tea Tree [a legendary tea tree whose leaves can grant profound insights into the Dao] and the Path Principles Celestial Stele [a divine stele inscribed with the fundamental laws of cultivation].

After listening, Exquisite Jiang smiled and remarked, "With Sister Nyssa's successful tribulation, her future prospects may well rival our own."

"Indeed."

Verdant Consort nodded in agreement, then added, "The Path Principles Celestial Stele is a matter for the distant future. However, if we can obtain the Ancient Enlightenment Tea Tree, not only would Lila and Violet Consort have a clear path to immortality, but our own comprehension of the Path Principles [the fundamental laws governing cultivation and reality] would also be greatly accelerated."

"That is true."

Exquisite Jiang also inclined her head in agreement. Gazing at the Heart of Heaven Jade [a mystical jade that aids in comprehending the heavenly Dao], she said, "This Heart of Heaven Jade is already a supreme treasure for Path Principles Comprehension [the art of comprehending the fundamental laws]. If we can also acquire the Ancient Enlightenment Tea Tree, they might be able to grasp their Path Principles within a thousand years."

"Mm-hmm."

Eldrin Chen also revealed a smile, his expression tinged with slight joy as he said, "Once we retrieve Sparrow and the others, I will immediately make a trip to Myriad Spirit."

"..."

The mortal realm of the Purple Seal Realm, upon the Immortal Ascension Path.

Tens of thousands of cultivators gathered upon the Immortal Ascension Path, all gazing at the three figures at the horizon's edge, their faces filled with longing and reverence.

After the pacification of the Demonic Abyss Cataclysm, the Purple Seal Realm enjoyed over five thousand years of peace. Following the ascension of Returning Abyss Path Master along with his Dao companions, three more Immortal [beings who have transcended mortality] successively achieved Ascension and Attainment of the Path [the final breakthrough to ascend to the higher realms].

At the very end of the Immortal Ascension Path stood the three figures: Solar Fire Vermilion Bird [a divine firebird of legend] in a fiery red gown, the Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace [the ruler of a celestial palace] who resembled the Vast Cold Immortal Maiden [a title for an ethereal, frost-aligned immortal], and the Black Tortoise Patriarch, who had taken the form of an old man with the graceful bearing of an immortal.

Though their expressions were calm, the three Immortal could not fully suppress the stirrings of excitement in their hearts.

This was especially true for the Black Tortoise Patriarch. Cultivation in the mortal world was difficult for a Mythical Immortal Seed [a being born from a primordial seed of immense potential]. He had trodden his path with utmost caution, expending close to two hundred thousand years before finally achieving Ascension and Attainment of the Path. It had been a truly arduous journey.

The Black Tortoise Patriarch sighed, a trace of melancholy coloring his features as he said, "This old one has cultivated for one hundred seventy-nine thousand years to this day. Along the way, I have witnessed the ascension of seven other Immortal."

"Yet what I have witnessed far more often is friend after friend returning to the dust. I never imagined that I, too, would one day attain immortality."

"Indeed."

Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace nodded, her voice tinged with deep emotion. "I cultivated for over ten thousand years before finally achieving Path Fruit Attainment and ascending to immortality. Most of my companions from those early years have long since passed into history. That I have walked the path to this day can truly be considered a rare and difficult feat."

Upon hearing this, Solar Fire Vermilion Bird asked with some confusion, "Attaining immortality? Is it truly that difficult?"

Black Tortoise Patriarch: "…"
