Chapter 1222 : A Binding Oath for a Blessed Land

Any Earth Immortal Blessed Land [a realm of profound spiritual energy, suitable as the foundation for an Earth Immortal's lineage] can serve as the foundational base for an Earth Immortal Progenitor [a cultivator who has ascended to the Earth Immortal realm], sufficient to sustain the cultivation of several such beings.

If word of this were to spread, the neighboring Setting Sun Blessed Land [a specific Earth Immortal Blessed Land] would surely find it impossible to remain idle.

Considering this, Eldrin Chen spoke with a grave expression, "Regarding this matter, we must swear a Heavenly Dao Oath [a binding vow sworn upon the Heavenly Dao, the cosmic law of the cultivation world]. It absolutely must not be revealed."

Six Stars Immortal [an immortal cultivator] also had a slight change in expression. He then took a deep breath and said, "This old man agrees. However, if we successfully seize the Blessed Land [a land blessed with immense spiritual energy], I should rightfully receive one Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [a treasure of the highest grade, forged by or for immortals] as my share."

"Agreed."

Eldrin Chen nodded, accepting this condition.

In the initial plan, after securing this Water Vein [a subterranean channel of concentrated water-attribute spiritual energy], ownership of this Supreme-Grade Water Vein [a water vein of the supreme grade] would be divided with Six Stars Immortal holding three-tenths, and the remaining seven-tenths belonging to the Chen Immortal Clan.

However, upon discovering that this Water Vein was likely the core of a Blessed Land, Six Stars Immortal understood that his own power was insufficient to claim such a large portion.

The value of an Earth Immortal Blessed Land is far beyond what a mere Supreme-Grade Water Vein can compare to. Recognizing his limitations, Six Stars Immortal decided to settle for a share of the Heavy Treasures [exceptionally powerful magical artifacts] and be content with his gains.

After all, he had already incurred a debt of gratitude to Eldrin Chen for his assistance in breaking through to the Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality [the ninth and penultimate stage of the Ascension to Immortality realm]. Securing a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure on top of that would already constitute a bountiful harvest. This chapter is provided by audio-novel`com. Support the original.

Even if he possessed more treasures, he likely could not defend them.

After all four had sworn the Heavenly Dao Oath [a binding vow sworn upon the Heavenly Dao, the cosmic principle of order], Lyra Jiang inquired, "That Black Serpent is immensely powerful. Even Husband is not confident of victory. How should we confront it?"

Eldrin Chen furrowed his brow slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "That serpent's physical body is nearly indestructible. To wound it, ordinary immortal weapons and divine swords will not suffice."

"Only the Crimson Dragon Heaven-Scorching Sword, the Crimson-Azure Twin Dragon Swords wielded by Verdant Consort, and my own Heavenly Separated Twin Swords can inflict meaningful harm upon it. Yet even that may not be enough."

Hearing this, Verdant Consort also frowned thoughtfully.

After a brief contemplation, she spoke, "When we journeyed to the Heavenly Stele Sea Sword Contest [a grand martial contest held amidst a sea of celestial steles], Husband obtained a set of the Heavenly Dragon Subduing Demon Sword Formation [a powerful sword formation designed to subdue demonic beings with the power of heavenly dragons]. If seven Immortal [cultivators who have ascended to the Immortal Realm] jointly activate it, it might also be capable of wounding the Black Serpent."

Lyra Jiang nodded in agreement and added, "Engaging the Black Serpent is perilous in the extreme. Without strength at or above the Mid Ascendant Immortal Realm [the middle stage of the Ascendant Immortal Realm], a single misstep could lead to annihilation."

"The selection of participants for this sword formation requires careful deliberation."

Seeing the situation, Eldrin Chen stated, "My Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder [a supreme divine thunder technique harmonizing the five elements with pure yang energy] has been refined to the Great Perfection Realm [the pinnacle stage of mastery for a technique]. Of the required Five Elements Thunder Source [rare spiritual essences that are the source of thunder aligned with the five elements], I have only gathered three types."

"If I can obtain the remaining Jia Wood Thunder Source [the thunder source aligned with the Jia Wood element] and the Bing Fire Thunder Source [the thunder source aligned with the Bing Fire element], I am confident I can master the technique in a very short time."

"By then, relying on the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder [a supreme thunder technique harmonizing the five elements and pure yang energy], we could pose a significant threat to the Black Serpent."

Lyra Jiang nodded upon hearing this and then spoke: "If that is the case, then the most urgent task is to gather the Five Elements Thunder Source [a rare spiritual material containing the condensed thunder essence of the five elements] for you, so you can first cultivate the Great Five Elements Divine Thunder [a powerful divine thunder art derived from the five elements]."

"Mmm-hmm!"

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod and said, "Let us return first. Once we are fully prepared, we shall return to deal with this Boundless Black Serpent [a legendary serpent demon of immense power and ancient origin]."

After returning to the clan from the Abyss of the Abyssal End, the Chen Immortal Clan began collecting the Jia Wood Thunder Source [a thunder source embodying the essence of the Jia Wood element] and the Bing Fire Thunder Source [a thunder source embodying the essence of the Bing Fire element].

However, the Five Elements Thunder Source was far too rare. Eldrin Chen waited for over two hundred years, cultivating the Time [a profound art related to the comprehension and manipulation of temporal forces], and finally received news concerning the Five Elements Thunder Source.

"Within the Sky Glaze Sea [a vast, crystal-clear sea region], there lies an Five Thunder Immortal Island [an immortal isle where five types of divine thunder converge]. Once every ten thousand years, a Five Elements Thunder Source is born there?"

On this day, as Eldrin Chen read the message in his hand, a trace of joy could not help but appear between his brows.

That Sky Glaze Sea is located at the heart of the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, separated from the Abyssal Sea by more than thirty layers of sea domains. A round trip would likely take around one thousand eight hundred years.

"That is a considerable distance. Fortunately, the Void Gate [a mystical portal allowing for instantaneous travel across vast distances] in the Meteor Sea is about to open."

"This time, with the aid of the Void Gate [a mystical portal that allows travel through the void], the round trip should not take long."

Eldrin Chen spoke with a smile, giving instructions to Lyra Jiang before his departure: "Make your preparations. Once I return, it likely won't be long before we move against that Boundless Black Serpent [a legendary serpent demon of immense size and power]."

With those words, Eldrin Chen delayed no further. He flew straight to the Meteor Sea and, utilizing the Void Gate, arrived at the Sky Glaze Sea [a vast, crystalline sea known for its shimmering, glass-like surface].

"So this is the Sky Glaze Sea?"

Upon reaching the Sky Glaze Sea, Eldrin Chen fell into a pensive silence, recalling the information myself had gathered.

The Sky Glaze Sea was one of the three thousand seas within the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea. While it housed no Earth Immortal Blessed Land [a paradise-like realm created by an Earth Immortal], its fortunes were anchored by an Ancient Ancestor at the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm [a realm just shy of becoming a true Earth Immortal].

The Sky Glaze Sea was ruled by the Sky Glaze Immortal Sect [the Sky Glaze Immortal Sect], a sect specializing in thunder-based cultivation arts. Their power stemmed from their control over a Supreme Grade Immortal Rank Thunder Vein [a supreme-grade immortal-rank vein of thunder-aspected spiritual energy] known as the Five Thunder Immortal Island [the Five Thunder Immortal Island].

The Five Elements Thunder Source [a thunder-aspected spiritual source containing the essence of all five elements] produced by the Five Thunder Immortal Island was precisely the resource Eldrin Chen sought for this journey.

"Legends say that within the Sky Glaze Immortal Sect resides a Five Tribulation Half-Step Earth Immortal [a Half-Step Earth Immortal who has survived five heavenly tribulations]. Due to their mastery of thunder arts, their combat prowess rivals that of an ordinary Six Tribulation Earth Immortal [an Earth Immortal who has survived six heavenly tribulations]."

"Facing such an Immortal Sect [an immortal sect], it would be wise to proceed with caution."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, roughly estimating the strength of the Sky Glaze Immortal Sect before striding towards his destination.

Before long, he arrived before a majestic, floating Immortal Island.

This floating Immortal Island housed a market established by the Sky Glaze Immortal Sect. Without further hesitation, Eldrin Chen stepped onto the immortal market.

With his cultivation at the Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm, it naturally drew the attention of the Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] overseeing the market.

He had barely set foot on the market grounds when a brilliant immortal light surged upwards, and a graceful figure stepped forth to meet him.

"A guest arrives, and I have failed to welcome you from afar. Please forgive my discourtesy, Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a fellow cultivator]," she said.

Eldrin Chen glanced at the newcomer, pausing slightly in surprise before replying with a smile, "So it is Immortal Maiden Lyra. The Immortal Maiden is too courteous."

The person before him was none other than Aurelia Jiang.

During the Heavenly Stele Sea Sword Contest, Aurelia Jiang had once crossed blades with Eldrin Chen. The power she displayed then had even approached the level of a Half-Step Earth Immortal [a cultivator on the very cusp of attaining Earth Immortal status].

Her mastery of the Supreme Unity Earth Tribulation Sword Miasma [a supreme sword technique that harnesses the power of earthly tribulations] was particularly remarkable, leaving a deep impression on Eldrin Chen.

Meeting an acquaintance, Eldrin Chen still clasped his hands in greeting and said, "During the previous Sword Competition, I did not hold back. I must ask for your forgiveness, Immortal Maiden."

"Not at all..."

Aurelia Jiang gave a bitter laugh and replied, "My skill was inferior; let us speak no more of it."

As they conversed, Aurelia Jiang guided Eldrin Chen onto the Immortal Island.

Only at this moment did Eldrin Chen realize that this Aurelia Jiang was actually the Grand Elder of the Sky Glaze Immortal Sect.

They strolled together to a courtyard, sitting opposite each other beneath a pear blossom tree. Aurelia Jiang personally poured a pot of tea for Eldrin Chen, her beautiful eyes holding a smile as she then inquired.

"Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a fellow cultivator], what brings you to our Sky Glaze Market? Are you here to purchase something?"

"Ah." Mentioning his true purpose brought a slight smile to Eldrin Chen's lips. He spoke openly, "I have come specifically for the Bing Fire Thunder Source [a spiritual essence of the Bing Fire element, containing thunderous power], and also for the Jia Wood Thunder Source [a spiritual essence of the Jia Wood element, containing thunderous power]."

"I see."

Aurelia Jiang nodded slightly, as if she had anticipated this all along, and said with a smile, "Our Sky Glaze Immortal Sect is renowned for producing Five Elements Thunder Source [spiritual essences imbued with the thunderous power of the five elements]. It is no surprise that you, Fellow Daoist, have come seeking them." Immerse yourself in the complete world at AUDIO-NOVEL.COM.
