Chapter 1174 : Starlight Forged in Celestial Fire

"Golden Scale Heaven-Draping Curtain [a defensive treasure woven from golden dragon scales that can drape across the heavens]?" Verdant Consort could not help but murmur, a smile gracing her lips as she added, "A fine name." Seeing this, Eldrin Chen also offered a faint smile.

With the two Immortal Treasure [a treasure forged by and for Immortals, possessing immense power] successfully refined, Eldrin Chen rose to his feet. He strode from the Seclusion Chamber and entered the Starry Glazed Realm [a mystical formation realm that resembles a starry sky cast in glazed crystal]. Gazing upon the treasure realm shimmering with starlight, he mused, "By my reckoning, it is time for Kael and the others to ascend within the next three hundred years."

"And now, it is also time for this treasure realm to undergo its own metamorphosis." As his words faded, Eldrin Chen produced the Three Thousand Stars [a collection of three thousand condensed stellar essences] and began the work of refining and merging them into the Starry Glazed Realm.

This was a monumental undertaking. To fully integrate all three thousand Starry Treasure Orb [orbs that contain and radiate concentrated stellar power], several Immortal [beings who have transcended mortality and achieved immortality] from Verdant Chariot Mountain joined forces, and together they succeeded in the refinement.

Once the Three Thousand Stars were merged into the Starry Glazed Realm, the formation realm was instantly adorned with three thousand resplendent, colossal stars.

Consequently, its ability to channel the Nine Heavens Stellar Power [the primordial stellar energy from the highest heavens] increased severalfold, and the amount of Starlight Glazed Radiance [a radiant, crystalline energy refined from starlight within the formation] it could nurture saw a dramatic rise.

"Success!" Sensing the surge in Starlight Glazed Radiance, Eldrin Chen felt a wave of joy. He could perceive that after integrating the Three Thousand Stars, the Starry Glazed Realm's 'Starlight Glazed Radiance' [the formation's core function to produce Starlight Glazed Radiance] had been enhanced more than threefold. It could now accommodate approximately thirty Immortal cultivating within it simultaneously.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen retrieved a Star Essence [the primordial core essence of a star, a treasure of immense power]. He contemplated it thoughtfully and said, "If we were to fuse this Star Essence into it, the Starry Glazed Realm's potency would undoubtedly reach another level." However, Lyra Jiang furrowed her brow, voicing her hesitation, "But if we integrate the Star Essence, might it not provoke the greed of an Earth Immortal [an Immortal who has opened an inner world, a realm above ordinary Immortals]?" Her words caused the others present to frown in concern.

Given the current strength of the Chen Clan, even relying on the power of their Formation [a structured arrangement that channels and amplifies energy for defense or attack] and Eldrin Chen's own prowess, they might barely withstand a Half-Step Earth Immortal [a powerful Immortal on the verge of opening an inner world]. But to imagine contending with a true Earth Immortal Progenitor [a venerable and powerful Earth Immortal] would be nothing short of delusion.

This is because a Half-Step Earth Immortal has not yet opened an inner world. Even if they have comprehended the power of rules, their reserve of Immortal Essence [the refined, potent energy that constitutes an Immortal's power] is vastly insufficient. They can only unleash their full power for a few moves at most before exhausting themselves. This content originates from audio-novel dot com. Please respect copyright.

An Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to the realm of an Earthly Immortal, possessing a miniature world within their body] in the initial stage, if unleashing their full power, would not truly be vastly more formidable than a Half-Step Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has partially ascended to the Earth Immortal realm but has not fully stabilized their cultivation].

However, they possess a world opened within their body as their Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound and unshakable foundation of a cultivator's power and cultivation path]. Even a full-power strike from World Creation [a supreme technique involving the creation or projection of a miniature world] could be unleashed by them for at least several hundred consecutive attacks.

Therefore, the Mountain Guardian Grand Formation [a grand protective formation that guards a mountain or sacred site] of Verdant Chariot Mountain might withstand a few blows from a Half-Step Earth Immortal, but it could never hold against the assault of an Earth Immortal Progenitor [an Earth Immortal who is also the founding ancestor of a lineage or clan].

It could be said that once it incites the greed of an Earth Immortal Blessed Land [a sacred land of immense spiritual richness, suitable for Earth Immortals to cultivate within], Verdant Chariot Mountain would likely be utterly unable to resist. Eldrin Chen also felt some concern. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "With just a single portion of Star Essence [a refined spiritual essence condensed from the power of the stars], even if it triggers the transformation of this Starry Glazed Realm [a mystical realm or formation imbued with starry and glazed properties], it would still fall far short of an Earth Immortal Blessed Land."

"It is useful for us Immortals [cultivators who have ascended to the Immortal realm], yet it cannot aid the cultivation of an Earth Immortal Progenitor. It should not attract the attention of an Earth Immortal." Hearing this, the women present nodded slightly in agreement.

They had visited the Setting Sun Blessed Land and naturally understood its profound mysteries. Such a Blessed Land [a place of exceptional spiritual energy and natural blessings] is a land of heavenly and earthly Creation [the primordial act of creation, the origin of all things], containing within it astonishingly vast and profound Dao principles of heaven and earth.

Not only does the cultivation speed of an Immortal increase severalfold within it, even the cultivation speed of an Earth Immortal Progenitor can be significantly enhanced.

Moreover, even the lowest grade of Blessed Land can sustain the cultivation of at least three Earth Immortals, or three hundred Immortals.

Not to mention that within an Earth Immortal Blessed Land, rare and precious resources can be produced. It can be said that compared to an Earth Immortal Blessed Land, the Starry Glazed Realm of the Chen Clan is still far inferior.

Even so, Lyra Jiang added, "To protect the secret of the Starry Glazed Realm, anyone entering it in the future must swear a Heavenly Dao Oath [a binding oath sworn upon the Heavenly Dao, the supreme law of the cosmos, with severe consequences for breaking it]."

"That is as it should be," Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod, then retrieved the Star Essence [a concentrated essence of stellar energy], preparing to fuse it into the Starry Glazed Realm [a mystical formation that mimics a starry sky].

Unexpectedly, the moment the Star Essence appeared, it immediately provoked a contest for possession among the three precious orbs within the Starry Glazed Realm. In the end, the Star Essence split into three portions, each claimed cleanly by the Sun, Moon, and Stars Three Pearls [a set of three powerful magical orbs representing the sun, moon, and stars].

After absorbing the Star Essence, the three orbs shone with even more resplendent light, and the Star Essence they radiated became significantly more refined and pure.

Eldrin Chen sensed the anomaly. After a moment of focused perception, he discovered that the Starry Glazed Realm could still only accommodate thirty Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to immortality] practitioners for cultivation.

However, under the illumination of the now more refined Starlight Glazed Radiance [a divine light that aids cultivation], the cultivation speed had increased from threefold to fourfold.

"Fourfold, is it?" Feeling the Starlight Glazed Radiance, Eldrin Chen could not help but reveal a smile. Legend spoke that the ultimate limit of a Blessed Land [a place of immense spiritual power and fortune] was to increase an Immortal's cultivation speed ninefold, and an Earth Immortal's [an immortal deeply connected to the earth] threefold.

Now, this Starry Glazed Realm could already increase cultivation speed fourfold. In terms of its wondrous utility, it could no longer be considered the lowest tier even among Earth Immortal Blessed Land.

Although it could still only accommodate thirty Immortal, for the present Chen Immortal Clan, this was already more than sufficient.

After enhancing the Starlight Glazed Realm, Eldrin Chen secluded himself within it for cultivation, a period lasting less than one Jiazi-time [a cycle of sixty years].

As the agreed-upon day of ascension with Kael Chen and the others drew near, he departed for the Setting Sun Sea, arriving at the location of the Ascension Platform [a platform used for ascending to a higher realm].

Upon arriving at the location of the Ascension Platform, Eldrin Chen discovered that the guardian stationed there was an elder with hair as white as snow. Having ascended for over ten thousand years, Eldrin Chen was quite familiar with the Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality and achieved immortality] residing around the Crimson Dragon Sea, and recognized this man's origins at first glance.

This elder was named 'Pyros the Elder' and served as the Second Elder of the Setting Sun Blessed Land. His cultivation had reached the formidable Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality [the ninth and final stage of the Immortal Ascension realm].

His Solar Flame Immortal Physique [a special constitution attuned to solar flames] had been perfected to its grand completion, and his comprehension of the Duskfall Law had also attained the Sky-Reaching Realm [a profound level of Dao comprehension]. He was a Pinnacle Immortal who had successfully cultivated Dual Dao Fruits [two distinct fruits of Dao attainment], making his strength surpass that of an ordinary Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality cultivator by a significant margin.

"Why would it be him?" Eldrin Chen thought with a start, but immediately stepped forward with a smile. "Brother Pyros, it has been a long time."

"Ah." Pyros the Elder glanced over, then rose to his feet with a hearty chuckle. "So it is Fellow Daoist Eldrin. I heard that you, Fellow Daoist, slew that Wicked Dragon from the Crimson Dragon Sea. Truly, you have rid our Human Race of a great scourge."

"You are too kind," Eldrin Chen replied with a slight smile, then turned his gaze to the Ascension Platform. "This Ascension Platform might not see a single Immortal ascend for several Millennium [a period of one thousand years]. Why would someone of your stature be personally stationed here to guard it?"

"Alas." Pyros the Elder sighed, a bitter smile touching his lips. "Several Millennium ago, after the Soul Lamp [a lamp whose flame is linked to a cultivator's life force] of our Duskfall Sect's Seventh Elder, Sylas Ye, the Immortal, was extinguished, the position of Ascension Guide Immortal Envoy [the official who greets and guides newly ascended Immortals] has remained unfilled." "This old man is merely fulfilling a Sect duty, standing guard here for the time being."

Eldrin Chen nodded in understanding, yet a sense of incongruity still lingered within him.

Within the entire Setting Sun Blessed Land, aside from the legendary Duskfall Ancient Ancestor who had reached the Earth Immortal Realm [a realm beyond the standard Immortal Ascension], the most powerful figure was the Grand Elder, Setting Sun Ancient Ancestor—a Five-Tribulation Immortal [an Immortal who has survived five Heavenly Tribulations] at the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm.

This Pyros the Elder ranked only below the Setting Sun Ancient Ancestor, making him the third most powerful figure in the Setting Sun Blessed Land. This spoke volumes about his formidable strength and his astonishingly Deep-Seated Foundation [a foundation of cultivation that is exceptionally solid and profound].

For a supreme existence who has attained the Dual Dao Fruits [the pinnacle state where a cultivator has successfully condensed two Dao Fruits, representing mastery over two fundamental cosmic principles], to not be secluded in meditation comprehending the laws of the cosmos, but instead to serve as a mere Ascension Guide Immortal Envoy [an official tasked with guiding and overseeing the ascension of cultivators to higher realms], was truly somewhat anomalous.
