Chapter 1137 : The Golden Bamboo's Secret Legacy

In that era, the master of Verdant Spirit Ancient Star was enfeoffed by the Demon Race Heavenly Court as the 'Azure Spirit Agricultural Star Official' [a celestial official responsible for cultivating immortal bamboo].

Returning to the main topic, Eldrin Chen observed the sighing expression on Heaven Wind Path Master's face and could not help but smile as he said, "The first half of the Primordial Unity Golden Bamboo Cultivation Method [a method for cultivating a legendary type of spiritual bamboo], perhaps does not count as a peerlessly precious treasure for the Demon Race Immortal Court."

"However, the second half involves the Ninth Rank Primordial Unity Golden Bamboo [the ultimate form of the Primordial Unity Golden Bamboo], its value is fundamentally incomparable to that of the first half."

"The cultivation method for such a treasure, even within the Vast Azure Immortal Domain, likely has few, if any, that can rival it."

Upon hearing this, Heaven Wind Path Master finally smiled and said, "Your words are reasonable, Fellow Daoist. This old man was simply being greedy."

Merely the first half of the Primordial Unity Golden Bamboo Cultivation Method was, for the two of them, an incomparably heavy treasure. Even a Supreme Grotto-Heaven like the Western Essence Grotto-Heaven would likely covet such a method upon learning of it.

Having obtained such a weighty treasure, what more could the two of them possibly be dissatisfied with?

Heaven Wind Path Master brought out the Primordial Unity Golden Foil Paper [a special paper imbued with spiritual energy for recording profound methods] he had prepared long ago and meticulously transcribed the method onto it. He then handed it to Eldrin Chen and said, "With this method, our two clans will henceforth be able to cultivate the Jade Marrow Golden Bamboo Shoot [a precious spiritual ingredient derived from the Primordial Unity Golden Bamboo]."

"I only hope that if we ever sell these Jade Marrow Golden Bamboo Shoot in the future, our two clans will not undercut each other's prices, but instead set a suitable, unified price."

"Naturally, it shall be so." Enjoyed this chapter? Read more at audio-novel dot com.

Eldrin Chen nodded, a genuine smile gracing his features.

Even with the same Primordial Unity Golden Bamboo Cultivation Method, the Jade Marrow Golden Bamboo Shoot produced by Heaven Wind Path Master would undoubtedly pale in comparison to his own.

This was because the Chen Clan possessed methods to cultivate Immortal Soil [a miraculous soil imbued with potent spiritual essence], allowing them to artificially create priceless Immortal Field [a field of land saturated with immortal-grade spiritual energy].

Even if Heaven Wind Path Master exhausted his resources to purchase Immortal Soil for cultivating the Jade Marrow Golden Bamboo Shoot, his wealth would be but a drop in the ocean for the vast expanse of an Immortal Field.

How could he compare to the Chen Clan, which could continuously nurture Immortal Field?

"Upon returning, I can assign the clan's Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to immortality] the task of cultivating Immortal Field,"

"Black Tortoise Patriarch primarily cultivates the dual Path Principles [the fundamental laws and concepts of a cultivation path] of water and earth, while Verdant Consort possesses Three Spiritual Roots [innate affinities for spiritual energy] for water, wood, and earth. Both seem to be excellent candidates for nurturing Immortal Field."

Thoughts flickering through his mind, Eldrin Chen carefully stored the Primordial Unity Golden Bamboo Cultivation Method, then turned his gaze to the other treasures. "Let us take stock and then distribute the various treasures," he suggested.

"Agreed,"

Heaven Wind Path Master nodded. The two then gathered their spoils together and began the meticulous process of inventory.

This expedition to the Verdant Spirit Ancient Star yielded immense gains, with treasures of the Immortal Artifact [a powerful enchanted artifact used by high-level cultivators] grade numbering in the dozens.

The most precious among them were seven items: the Ancient Starry Firmament Bell, the Three Thousand Stellar, the World-Opening Ancient Scroll [an ancient scripture detailing profound cultivation methods], a single Stellar Fruit, and three portions of Source of the Stellar.

Of these seven treasures, the Ancient Starry Firmament Bell was the most valuable, being a damaged World-Opening Treasure [a legendary artifact of immense power capable of shaping worlds]. The Three Thousand Stellar ranked second; it was forged by the Nine Heavens Star Deity through refining three thousand Nine Heavens Stellar [celestial star cores], making it comparable to a Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure.

The 'Stellar Fruit' was a Supreme Grade Immortal Herbs [a herb of the highest quality with miraculous effects]. Consuming it could forge a Stellar Path Body [a special physique attuned to the stellar path].

It contained the power of Stellar [pertaining to stars and celestial bodies] Path Principles Power [the fundamental laws governing a specific cultivation path], making it an invaluable treasure beyond measure for any Immortal [a being who has achieved immortality through cultivation] cultivating the Stellar Path Principles.

For instance, the Star Consort from the Glazed Blessed Land cultivated the path of Stellar. If she were to consume this Stellar Fruit, her bloodline would undoubtedly undergo a metamorphosis, and her chances of breaking through to the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm [a powerful cultivation realm just below the Earth Immortal stage] would likely reach seventy or eighty percent.

The remaining three portions of Source of the Stellar were condensed by the two of them from scattered Stellar Primordial Essence [the primordial, foundational energy of stars] they managed to recover.

Unfortunately, as the Stellar Primordial Essence had dispersed and vanished long ago, they only managed to retrieve thirty percent of it, coalescing it into these three portions of Source of the Stellar.

Even so, these three portions of Stellar Primordial Essence could be considered Supreme-Grade Immortal Artifact [artifacts of the highest grade], priceless treasures whether used for forging magical treasures or for direct refinement and absorption.

The final item, the scroll of the World-Opening Ancient Scroll, contained the cultivation method created by the Nine Heavens Star Deity himself.

It had been deduced to the Earth Immortal level, making it an invaluable World-Opening Ancient Scroll that detailed the cultivation method of the Stellar [pertaining to the stars and celestial bodies] Path.

As neither of them cultivated the Stellar Great Path, this scroll could only serve as a reference for their own studies.

However, one of the Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power or technique] contained within it filled their hearts with immense longing.

This Divine Ability was named the 'Starlight Weapon Derivation Art' [an art to forge weapons from condensed starlight], capable of manifesting various divine weapons to engage the enemy.

Its grade had been elevated by the Star Deity to the World-Opening Realm [the foundational realm for creating a new world], and it could forge four types of Stellarforged Divine Weapon: the Tyrant Spear, the Heavenly Blade, the Immortal Sword, and the Ancient Bell.

This was a World-Opening Grade rule-based Divine Ability. Previously, the Nine Heavens Star Deity had used it to confront a powerful foe, conjuring a spear of starlight, a Heavenly Blade, and an Immortal Sword to suppress the Blood Spring Patriarch.

Had it not been for the Blood Spring Patriarch possessing a life-substituting Divine Ability, he likely would not have survived even one or two strikes.

The fourth divine weapon, the 'Ancient Bell', was even more formidable. The Nine Heavens Star Deity had kept this Divine Ability as a hidden trump card, nearly succeeding in crushing the Heaven Wind Path Master with it, a testament to its immense power.

If not for the formidable strength of the Heaven Wind Path Master's Gale Wind Divine Body [a powerful innate physique attuned to gale-force winds], he would have been annihilated in the initial clash.

"The power unleashed by the first three divine weapons of this Stellar Weapon Derivation Art is nearly on par with a Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure [a top-tier enchanted artifact]. The fourth weapon, the Ancient Bell, rivals the might of a World-Opening Treasure [a treasure of foundational, world-creating power]."

"Such a world-shaking Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power or technique], I fear even for an Earth Immortal Patriarch it would be a trump card kept at the very bottom of the chest, enough to make countless Earth Immortals [immortals who have attained mastery over the earthly realm] drool with envy."

Gazing at the Stellar Weapon Derivation Art [the art of forging weapons from the power of the stars] inscribed upon the ancient scroll, Heaven Wind Path Master could not help but sigh in admiration.

To condense the power of Stellar Rule [the cosmic laws governing the stars] and derive a peerless divine weapon to suppress a powerful foe—what a supremely profound Divine Ability this is!

Not to mention ordinary Immortals, even many Earth Immortals lack such talent and vision. This shows that the Nine Heavens Star Deity was truly exceptional.

"What a pity. That Nine Heavens Star Deity possessed Extraordinary talent, yet failed to find a complete World-Opening [the realm of opening one's own inner world] method."

"Otherwise, with his genius, he likely could have cultivated at least to the Late Stage Earth Immortal realm."

Eldrin Chen also sighed with emotion, then carefully transcribed a copy of this ancient scroll.

The Stellar Weapon Derivation Art contained within it a supreme Rule Power [power derived from comprehending fundamental cosmic laws], from which Eldrin Chen benefited greatly, gaining faint glimpses of enlightenment.

He had a vague feeling that if he used this Divine Ability for reference and continued walking the path laid down by the Nine Heavens Star Deity, he might be able to forge a startling new Path to Heaven [a cultivation method leading to heavenly ascension].

After storing the World-Opening Ancient Scroll, Eldrin Chen spoke up, "These ancient scrolls all have Extraordinary origins. It would be best for us to swear a Heavenly Path Oath [a binding vow sworn upon the Heavenly Dao] not to transmit them outside our clan."

"Agreed."

Heaven Wind Path Master nodded. Such a precious World-Opening Heavenly God Ability, if mastered, could potentially give rise to a supreme Great Path. Naturally, he would not casually pass it on to others.

After both swore a Heavenly Path Oath, they could not help but let out a sigh of relief.

The Heaven Wind Path Master then turned his gaze to the remaining treasures, a flicker of covetousness flashing in his eyes.

After dividing the World-Opening Ancient Scroll, the remaining treasures were the Starry Void Bell, the Three Thousand Stellar, the Stellar Fruit, and three portions of Stellar Primordial Essence.

Each of these treasures was a Supreme-Grade Immortal Artifact, with the damaged Ancient Starry Firmament Bell being the most precious of all, making it difficult for one's heart to remain settled.

According to their prior agreement, the Heaven Wind Path Master, having discovered the treasures first, naturally held the right of first choice.

He glanced at the Starry Void Bell and said with hesitation, "This old man would be shameless enough to claim this Ancient Starry Firmament Bell. I wonder if you, Elder Brother, would be willing to part with it?" Find this and other novels at audio‑novel.com.
