Chapter 1174 : Stellar Glazed Ascension

"Golden Scale Heaven-Draping Curtain [a legendary defensive formation or artifact imagined to be as vast and protective as a curtain of golden scales draped across the heavens]?"

Verdant Consort could not help but murmur, then said with a smile, "A fine name indeed."

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen also offered a faint smile.

With the two Immortal Treasures now successfully forged, Eldrin Chen rose to his feet.

He stepped out of the Seclusion Chamber and entered the Stellar Glazed Boundary. Gazing at the starry, glimmering treasure realm, he mused, "By my reckoning, it is about time for Kael and the others to ascend within the next three hundred years."

"Now is also the time for this treasure realm to embark on its own metamorphosis."

With those words, Eldrin Chen retrieved the Three Thousand Stellar Treasure Pearls and began the work of refining and integrating them into the Stellar Glazed Boundary.

This was a monumental task. To fully refine and incorporate all three thousand Stellar Treasure Pearls, several Immortals from Green Chariot Mountain joined forces. Together, they finally succeeded in the refinement.

Once the Three Thousand Stellar Treasure Pearls were integrated into the Stellar Glazed Boundary, the formation immediately became adorned with three thousand brilliant, majestic stars.

Consequently, the amount of Power of the Nine Heavens Stellar [the primordial stellar energy drawn from the highest celestial realms] it could draw upon increased severalfold, and the Stellar Glazed Light [a radiant, crystalline light refined from stellar energies] it nurtured naturally grew much more abundant.

"Success!"

Sensing the light of the Stellar Glazed Boundary, Eldrin Chen felt a surge of joy in his heart.

He could sense that after integrating the Three Thousand Stellar, the Stellar Glazed Boundary's 'Stellar Glazed Light' had increased by more than threefold. It could now accommodate approximately thirty Immortal cultivators practicing simultaneously.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen retrieved another Stellar Primordial Essence. With a contemplative expression, he mused, "If we integrate this Stellar Primordial Essence, the power of this Stellar Glazed Boundary will undoubtedly increase by another significant degree."

However, Exquisite Jiang furrowed her brow and voiced her hesitation, "If we integrate the Stellar Primordial Essence, might it provoke the greed of an Earth Immortal?"

Upon hearing her words, the others also frowned with concern.

Given the current strength of the Chen Clan, relying on the power of the Formation and Eldrin Chen's own prowess, they might barely withstand a Half-Step Earth Immortal. But to contend with a true Earth Immortal Patriarch would be nothing short of a fool's dream.

This was because a Half-Step Earth Immortal had not yet opened their inner world. Even if they had comprehended Rule Power, their reserves of Immortal Essence were far from sufficient. At full power, they could only sustain a few moves at most.

The destructive force of a full-power strike from an Early-stage Earth Immortal Patriarch was not significantly greater than that of a Half-Step Earth Immortal.

However, they possessed an entire world opened within their bodies as their foundation. Even against a full-power World-Opening strike, they could unleash hundreds of such attacks.

Therefore, the Mountain Protection Formation of Green Chariot Mountain might withstand a few strikes from a Half-Step Earth Immortal, but it could never hold against an attack from a genuine Earth Immortal Patriarch [a supreme cultivator who has ascended to the Earth Immortal realm].

It could be said that if it aroused the greed of an Earth Immortal Blessed Land [a sacred land of immense spiritual power, capable of nurturing Earth Immortals], Green Chariot Mountain would likely be utterly unable to resist.

Eldrin Chen was also somewhat concerned. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "We only have one portion of Stellar Primordial Essence [a primordial essence refined from stellar energies]. Even if it catalyzes the evolution of this Stellar Glazed Boundary [a defensive formation with stellar and crystalline properties], it would still fall far short of matching a true Earth Immortal Blessed Land."

"It would be useful for us Immortal [cultivators who have ascended to the Immortal realm], but it cannot aid the cultivation of an Earth Immortal Patriarch. It should not attract the attention of a full Earth Immortal."

Hearing this, the women all nodded slightly in agreement.

They had visited the Lingering Sun Blessed Land before and naturally understood its profound mysteries.

Such a Blessed Land is a place born from the world's own Creation [the primordial act of creation, the genesis of all things], containing within it an astonishingly rich endowment of heavenly and Earthly Path [the profound principles and energies of the earth] essences.

Not only does an Immortal's cultivation speed multiply severalfold within it, but even an Earth Immortal Patriarch would find their cultivation progress significantly accelerated.

Furthermore, even the lowest grade of Blessed Land can sustain the cultivation of at least three Earth Immortal or three hundred Immortal simultaneously.

This is not to mention that an Earth Immortal Blessed Land can also produce rare and precious resources.

It could be said that compared to an Earth Immortal Blessed Land [a realm of profound spiritual energy cultivated and refined by an Earth Immortal], the Chen Clan's Stellar Glazed Boundary [a mystical formation that harnesses the power of stars to create a sealed cultivation space] still fell far short.

Even so, Exquisite Jiang added, "To protect the secret of the Stellar Glazed Boundary, anyone entering it from now on must swear a Heavenly Path Oath [a binding vow made upon the Heavenly Path, with severe consequences for betrayal]."

"That is only proper."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod, then retrieved the Stellar Primordial Essence [a primordial, condensed essence of stellar energy] and prepared to merge it into the Stellar Glazed Boundary.

Unexpectedly, the moment the Stellar Primordial Essence appeared, it immediately triggered a fierce competition for it among the three treasure orbs within the Stellar Glazed Boundary.

In the end, the Stellar Primordial Essence split into three parts, cleanly divided among the Solar, Lunar, and Stellar Pearls [three powerful magical orbs representing the sun, moon, and stars]. This novel is serialized on audio . novel . com. Visit for updates.

After absorbing the Stellar Primordial Essence, the three orbs shone with even more dazzling brilliance, and the Stellar Primordial Essence they radiated became significantly more refined and pure.

Eldrin Chen sensed the anomaly. After a moment of focused perception, he discovered that the Stellar Glazed Boundary could still only accommodate thirty Immortal [beings who have transcended mortality through cultivation] for cultivation.

However, bathed in the more refined Stellar Glazed Light [the radiant, energy-rich light emitted by the Stellar Glazed Boundary], the cultivation speed had increased from threefold to fourfold.

"Fourfold, then?"

Sensing the light of the Stellar Glazed Boundary, Eldrin Chen could not help but reveal a smile.

Legend has it that the ultimate limit of a Blessed Land is to increase cultivation speed by ninefold for Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality through cultivation] and threefold for Earth Immortal [an immortal whose power is deeply rooted in the earth].

Now, this Stellar Glazed Boundary could already increase cultivation speed by fourfold. Its wondrous utility could no longer be considered the lowest even among Earth Immortal Blessed Land [blessed lands anchored by Earth Immortals].

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

"..."

After advancing the Starlight Glazed Realm, Eldrin Chen secluded himself there for cultivation for less than one Sixty-Year Cycle [a complete cycle of sixty years].

As the agreed-upon day of ascension with Kael Chen and the others drew near, he set off for the Lingering Sun Sea Region and arrived at the location of the Ascendant Immortal Platform.

Upon reaching the Ascendant Immortal Platform, Eldrin Chen discovered that the guardian stationed there was a white-haired elder.

Having ascended for over ten thousand years, Eldrin Chen was quite familiar with the Immortal surrounding the Crimson Dragon Sea and recognized this person's origins at first glance.

This elder was named 'Old Man Fire Sun' and was the Second Elder of the Lingering Sun Blessed Land. His strength had reached the lofty Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier [the ninth and highest tier of the Ascendant Immortal realm].

This individual's cultivation of the Solar Flame Immortal Body [a constitution that embodies the essence of the sun and flame] had reached its grand completion. His comprehension of the Lingering Sun Path Principles [the profound principles of the lingering sunset] had also attained the Sky-Touching Realm [a realm signifying one's cultivation touches the heavens]. He was a supreme Immortal [an ascended being who has transcended mortality] who had successfully cultivated Dual Path Fruits [the fruits of mastering two distinct cultivation paths], making his strength surpass even that of an ordinary Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier [the ninth and highest tier of the Ascendant Immortal realm].

"How could it be him?"

Eldrin Chen was inwardly startled. He immediately stepped forward with a smile and said, "Brother Fire Sun, it has been a long time."

"Oh."

Old Man Fire Sun glanced over and promptly rose to his feet with a hearty chuckle. "So it is Fellow Cultivator Eldrin. I heard you slew that vile dragon of the Crimson Dragon Sea. Truly, you have rid our Human Race of a great scourge."

"You flatter me."

Eldrin Chen offered a modest smile, then turned his gaze to the Ascendant Immortal Platform [a sacred platform for welcoming newly ascended Immortals]. "This Ascendant Immortal Platform might not see a single Immortal for millennia. How did you come to be the one personally guarding it?"

"Alas."

Old Man Fire Sun let out a sigh, his expression turning bitter. "Several millennia ago, after the Soul Lamp [a lamp whose flame is tied to the life force of its owner] of our seventh Elder, Verdant Sparse Immortal, was extinguished, the position of Ascension Guide Immortal Envoy [the envoy responsible for guiding newly ascended Immortals] within our Lingering Sun Sect has remained unfilled."

"This old man is merely fulfilling a duty to the sect, standing guard here for the time being."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod, yet a lingering sense of unease remained within him.

Within the entire Lingering Sun Blessed Land, aside from the legendary Lingering Sun Patriarch who had reached the Earth Immortal Realm [a profound state of cultivation where one's power is deeply rooted in the earth], the most formidable figure was the Grand Elder, Setting Sun Patriarch—a Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm [a cultivator on the very cusp of becoming an Earth Immortal] and a Five Tribulations Immortal [an immortal who has survived five heavenly tribulations].

This Old Man Fire Sun ranked only below the Setting Sun Patriarch, making him the third most powerful figure in the Lingering Sun Blessed Land, a testament to his astonishing strength and profound foundation.

For such a supreme existence, a Dual Path Fruits [a cultivator who has mastered two distinct cultivation paths to their peak] powerhouse, to forsake secluded meditation and the contemplation of Rule Power [the fundamental laws that govern reality, a power accessible only to the most advanced cultivators] in favor of serving as a mere Ascension Guide Immortal Envoy [an official tasked with guiding cultivators through the perilous ascension process] was, without a doubt, profoundly peculiar.
