Chapter 1173 : Treasures of Frost and Flame

The matter of advancing the Starry Glazed Realm was thus settled. Eldrin Chen then retrieved several treasures from his sleeve—namely, the Frost Malignancy Gourd, the Frost Malignancy Heart-Locking Spike, and the Frost Malignancy Cold Light Barrier, three High Grade Immortal Treasure [supreme enchanted artifacts] obtained from Frost Malignancy Elder Demon.

"These are..." At the sight of these three treasures, Lila could not help but reveal a look of delight.

Eldrin Chen nodded and handed them to Lila, saying, "These three treasures were the signature Magical Treasure [enchanted artifacts] of Frost Malignancy Elder Demon and are perfectly suited for your use."

"However, the Baleful Qi [malevolent spiritual energy] within them is too potent. They must be refined using Baleful Qi before they can be safely wielded." As he spoke, he also handed over the method for dissolving Baleful Qi, taught to him by Skywind the Daoist.

Watching Lila caress the High Grade Immortal Treasure with evident fondness, Eldrin Chen produced several more treasures. These were the three High Grade Immortal Treasure obtained from Crimson Dragon Scion: the Crimson Dragon World-Startling Halberd, the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Bell, and the Crimson Dragon Immortal-Refining Vase.

The Crimson Dragon Immortal-Refining Vase was also a signature Magical Treasure of Crimson Dragon Scion, capable of unleashing the Nine Heavens Crimson Dragon Flame [a divine crimson dragon fire] to refine even Nine Heavens Immortal Deities [celestial immortals], making it a rare and formidable treasure.

Unfortunately, Crimson Dragon Scion had been gravely wounded at the time and could not unleash the vase's full power before meeting his end at the hands of Eldrin Chen.

These treasures held little direct use for Eldrin Chen himself, so he decided to distribute them among the clan's Immortal [those who have ascended to immortality].

Among his closest kin, Lyra Jiang received the most powerful Crimson Dragon World-Startling Halberd. Yvonne the Violet Consort was allotted the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Bell, while the Crimson Dragon Immortal-Refining Vase was entrusted to Separated Flame Phoenix.

Both Yvonne the Violet Consort and Separated Flame Phoenix wore expressions of joy upon receiving their treasures. With cultivation bases only at the first level of Ascendant Immortal [the initial stage of immortal ascension], they could, at best, unleash fifty to sixty percent of a High Grade Immortal Treasure's might.

Even so, their power had increased substantially. With the Separated Flame Phoenix's Acquired Separated Flame Vermilion Bird constitution, and Yvonne the Violet Consort's Deep-Seated Foundation [a profoundly stable and potent cultivation base] from her Dual Dao Fruits, their strength was originally not inferior to an ordinary cultivator at the Third Heavenly Layer of Immortal Ascension.

Now, having obtained this High Grade Immortal Treasure, they should possess the capability to contend with entities at the Fourth Level of Immortal Ascension in future encounters.

Seeing that his fellow Dao companions had all received treasures, while Verdant Consort had not yet been given one, Eldrin Chen took out several more precious materials.

These were, respectively, the remains of the Crimson Dragon Scion and the Nine-Headed Hydra Dragon, the Flesh and Blood Treasure Pill [a pill refined from the condensed essence of a powerful creature's flesh and blood] from the Starry Void Ancient Beasts, and two pieces of scale armor.

Back when Eldrin Chen slew the Starry Void Ancient Beasts, being unable to transport both carcasses, he refined their flesh and blood essence into a single Flesh and Blood Treasure Pill.

This Flesh and Blood Treasure Pill contained fifty to sixty percent of the Starry Void Ancient Beasts's essential power, making it a supreme treasure for cultivating an Immortal Physique [a body tempered to near-immortal perfection].

The scale armor from the Starry Void Ancient Beasts was also extraordinary. Eldrin Chen had performed a simple refinement on it before bringing it into the Immortal Realm.

The Flesh and Blood Treasure Pill and scale armor from the Starry Void Ancient Beasts were of astonishing value. The remains of the Crimson Dragon Scion and the Nine-Headed Hydra Dragon were also immensely precious. After slaying six Demon Immortal [demonic beings who have ascended to immortality] from the Crimson Dragon Clan, and in gratitude for the assistance from Six Stars Immortal, Eldrin Chen had distributed the materials from four of the Demonic Beast carcasses among Six Stars Immortal and four other Immortal.

He had deliberately kept only the Crimson Dragon Scion and the Nine-Headed Hydra Dragon, a testament to the exceptional nature of these two Demon Immortal. Now, as he presented all these items, the group could not help but feel a surge of excitement.

Gazing upon these treasures, Lyra Jiang could not resist speaking: "Every part of a Dragon Race [the race of dragons] is a treasure. The dragon sinew, Dragon Bone, Counter-Scale [the unique, reversed scale under a dragon's throat], Dragon Pearl, and dragon horns of the Crimson Dragon Scion can all be forged into Immortal Treasure." Eldrin Chen nodded in agreement, then said, "This Flesh and Blood Treasure Pill from the Starry Void Ancient Beasts can aid you in cultivating your Immortal Physique to its Great Completion."

"Between the two scales, the slightly smaller one offers somewhat lesser defense, while the larger one can withstand attacks from a High Grade Immortal Treasure [a top-tier enchanted artifact of immense power], and could be forged into a rare defensive Immortal Treasure [an enchanted artifact of immortal-grade power]." Verdant Consort also nodded, looking at the dragon tendon and saying, "If we use the Crimson Dragon's tendon and refine it together with the Starry Void Ancient Beasts scale, we should be able to forge a peerlessly defensive High Grade Immortal Treasure." Listening to their suggestions, Eldrin Chen also fell into deep contemplation.

After pondering for a moment, he finally spoke: "Using the Crimson Dragon's tendon, supplemented by the Starry Void Ancient Beasts scale, we can forge a supreme defensive Immortal Treasure. Let it be given to Verdant Consort for her protection."

"The Flesh and Blood Treasure Pill [a potent elixir refined from the essence of powerful beings] will aid Lyra in cultivating her Immortal Physique [a body tempered to near-immortal perfection]. The Dragon Pearl [a condensed orb of a dragon's essence], the Counter-Scale [the unique, reversed scale beneath a dragon's throat], and the dragon horn can be forged into an Immortal Sword [a sword of immortal-grade power]."

"The remaining Dragon Bone and other materials will serve as resources for crafting an immortal vessel, to be entrusted to the clan for forging into a massive War Treasure Boat [a formidable, ship-shaped magical artifact designed for warfare]." Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes flickered with interest.

A high-grade War Treasure Boat holds extraordinary value. While it may struggle against an Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality], it excels at countering Immortal Rank Formation [powerful arrays of energy] and Earth Vein [the spiritual energy currents that flow through the land], making it a crucial weapon for breaching Immortal Island [an island blessed with immortal energies] and Spirit Mountain [a mountain rich with spiritual energy] defenses.

Unfortunately, the material consumption for such a Treasure Ship is at least ten times that of a standard Immortal Treasure of the same rank. Forging even one is akin to pouring resources into a bottomless abyss.

The Chen Clan's Tengshe Treasure Ship has been under construction for several Millennium [periods of one thousand years], consuming vast amounts of manpower and resources, yet to this day, less than one-tenth is complete. Its final completion remains a distant prospect.

Returning to the main subject, Eldrin Chen distributed the treasures and then proceeded with Lyra Jiang and the others to the Artificer's Workshop, where they began the work of forging the Immortal Treasure.

This time, with the assistance of Yvonne the Violet Consort and Lyra Jiang, the forging of the Immortal Treasure proceeded quite smoothly. He spent three Jiazi-time [a cycle of sixty years], combining the three treasures—the Dragon Pearl, the Counter-Scale, and the dragon horn—to ultimately forge a radiant Immortal Sword.

"Verdant Consort, you already possess the Azure Dragon Stirring the Sea Sword. Let this new blade be named the Crimson Dragon Heaven-Scorching Sword." Gazing upon the newly forged sword, Eldrin Chen spoke with a faint smile.

This Crimson Dragon Void-Refining Sword possessed extraordinary might, its lethality surpassing even that of the Crimson Dragon World-Startling Halberd by a significant margin. It could truly be considered one of the most supreme High Grade Immortal Treasure [a top-tier enchanted artifact of immense power].

Eldrin Chen casually handed it to Verdant Consort and then set about forging a defensive Immortal Treasure. Using the scales of the Starry Void Ancient Beasts [primordial beasts from the starry void] and the sinews of a Crimson Dragon [a mighty dragon of crimson hue] as his primary materials, he spent a full two hundred years in meticulous refinement, ultimately forging this Immortal Treasure.

Upon its completion, the treasure manifested as a resplendent golden sphere. Eldrin Chen tested its activation.

He discovered that with a mere flick of his wrist, the golden sphere instantly expanded with the wind, enveloping the heavens and earth for millions of Li-lengths [one Li-length equals five hundred meters] in the blink of an eye. Its defensive capabilities were astonishingly formidable.

After several tests, Eldrin Chen could not help but remark, "This treasure can expand or contract at will. At its grandest, it possesses the wondrous ability to veil the heavens; at its smallest, it can perfectly shield one's person. It can withstand nearly all attacks below the Half-Step Earth Immortal [a realm just shy of becoming an Earth Immortal] level."

"Its value likely rivals that of several High Grade Immortal Treasure belonging to an Ascendant Immortal [an immortal who has ascended to a higher plane]." Verdant Consort was also exceedingly fond of this treasure, unable to resist stroking it repeatedly. Finally, she offered it back to Eldrin Chen, saying, "Only with Husband's cultivation can its greatest power be unleashed." Eldrin Chen shook his head and pushed it back towards her. "My Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a physique of legendary resilience born from primordial chaos] has reached great completion. Even a Demigod Ancestor [an ancient ancestor of demigod power] would likely find it difficult to slay me." Find this and other novels at audio–novel.com.

"Even if I encounter an Ancient Ancestor at the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm, I have the Yin-Yang Dual Pole Pearl [a treasure embodying the dual forces of yin and yang] to protect me. Therefore, this treasure is merely an added embellishment for me." Verdant Consort understood. If even the Yin-Yang Dual Pole Pearl could not withstand an attack, this golden sphere would likely be useless as well.

She then took the golden sphere, her joy evident as she asked, "What name should we give this treasure?" Eldrin Chen pondered for a moment before speaking. "Forged primarily from the scales of the Starry Void Ancient Beasts, when unfurled it resembles a celestial curtain descending from the heavens. Let us call it the 'Golden Scale Heaven-Draping Curtain'." This content originates from audio-novel.com (official site). Please respect copyright.
