Chapter 1227 : The Water Vein's Hidden Treasures

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement and said, "Rest assured, we naturally understand this principle."

Those invited by Eldrin Chen to participate in this battle were all individuals with close ties to the Chen Immortal Clan. Even without the constraint of a Heavenly Dao Oath, they would most likely not betray this information.

Moreover, what Eldrin Chen had promised them was no small sum. Just for Six Stars Immortal and Skywind the Daoist alone, Eldrin Chen would have to offer at least two Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure. An ordinary Earth Immortal Progenitor might not even be willing to pay such a steep price.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen felt a slight sense of reassurance settle within him. Suppressing the thoughts in his mind, he then began to carefully observe this Water Vein Abode of Bliss.

This was a Water Vein Abode of Bliss where the Immortal Spirit Qi [the highest grade of spiritual energy in the Immortal Realm] was exceptionally abundant. As their divine senses swept through, they discovered it was filled with many rare and precious Immortal Root [the foundational spiritual essence of an immortal plant] and Spirit Medicine.

With just a cursory sweep of his divine sense, Eldrin Chen detected numerous exceedingly rare Immortal Treasures.

"Three Immortal Rank Ore Vein, a thriving Immortal Clam Colony, and a vast number of Spirit Fish [fish imbued with spiritual energy] living and breeding here."

"There are thousands of varieties of Water Attribute Spirit Plants, approximately thousands of stalks of Immortal Treasure Spirit Medicines, and even quite a few Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root [a spiritual root born from the convergence of heaven and earth's essence]."

After a preliminary inspection of the treasures within the Water Vein, Eldrin Chen found it difficult to suppress his excitement. However, these ordinary Immortal Treasures were not what had brought him such joy.

He knew well in his heart that the true treasures of a Blessed Land [a place of profound natural spiritual abundance] lay beyond this. Immediately quelling his thoughts, he then strode forward into the depths of the Water Vein Abode of Bliss. Published by audio-novel dot com. All rights reserved.

The group pressed onward, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the very heart of the Blessed Land [a place of immense spiritual energy and natural blessings]. They stopped before a deep valley, their faces alight with unrestrained joy.

"This is..."

Eldrin Chen's heart surged with elation, an expression of profound delight spreading across his features.

Within that deep valley lay a dense grove. Every tree in this forest was of Immortal Rank Spirit Wood [wood infused with potent spiritual energy]. Towering above them like cranes among chickens stood six ancient, venerable trees.

"Ren Water Immortal Apricot [a rare spiritual apricot tree embodying the essence of Ren Water], Vast Cold Immortal Osmanthus [an immortal osmanthus tree imbued with the power of profound cold], Heavenly Heart Divine Willow [a divine willow tree attuned to the celestial heart], Evergreen Ancient Vine [an ancient, perpetually verdant spiritual vine], Heaven-Piercing Ancient Tree [a primordial tree said to reach towards the heavens]."

Skywind the Daoist murmured, a look of astonishment dawning on his face.

These five ancient trees before them were actually five exceedingly rare Acquired Spiritual Root [a spiritual plant of immense power and rarity, born from profound natural laws].

As an existence at the Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality [the pinnacle stage of cultivation before achieving true immortality], he naturally understood the immense significance of these Acquired Immortal Root.

Among these five Acquired Spiritual Root, the Ren Water Immortal Apricot, the Evergreen Ancient Vine, and the Heavenly Heart Divine Willow had all reached the Immortal Rank High Grade level, the very pinnacle for an Acquired Spiritual Root.

The remaining Vast Cold Immortal Osmanthus and Heaven-Piercing Ancient Tree had ascended even further, achieving the state of Supreme Grade Acquired Spiritual Root [the ultimate, rarest grade of an Acquired Spiritual Root]. Their value was simply beyond measure.

"Five Acquired Spiritual Root [a spiritual root obtained through cultivation or fortune, not innate], and among them, two are Supreme Grade Acquired Spiritual Root [the highest quality of acquired spiritual roots]. Each is a supreme treasure, enough to stir the heart of even an Earth Immortal Progenitor [a foundational immortal being who has transcended mortality]."

Skywind the Daoist was immensely excited, unable to resist looking towards Eldrin Chen.

Even Eldrin Chen felt a surge of astonishment in his heart. Among these supreme treasures, the Ren Water Immortal Apricot [a divine apricot tree imbued with the essence of the Ren Water element] was a water-attribute treasure of the highest order. The fruit it bore could aid an Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] who cultivated the Water Law [the profound principles governing water and fluidity] in breaking through to the Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm [the advanced stage of the immortal ascension realm].

The Evergreen Ancient Vine [an ancient, eternally verdant spiritual vine] was also of extraordinary value. It was said that the Evergreen Vines [vines from the Evergreen Ancient Vine] it produced were incredibly resilient. Every ten thousand years, a small segment would naturally shed, which could be used as Immortal Treasures [materials of immortal grade] for forging Immortal Treasure [powerful artifacts used by immortals].

The Heavenly Heart Divine Willow [a divine willow tree whose heart resonates with the heavens], the Vast Cold Immortal Osmanthus [an immortal osmanthus tree emanating profound cold], and the Heaven-Piercing Tree [a mythical tree said to reach into the heavens]—each was an exceptionally rare Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root [a spiritual root born from the primal energies of heaven and earth]. They were superior-grade Spiritual Root [the foundational spiritual aptitude of a cultivator or a spiritual plant] for refining the Four Extremities Heaven Pillars [legendary pillars meant to stabilize the four corners of heaven].

With such treasures before them, it was no wonder Skywind the Daoist was so profoundly moved.

Eldrin Chen was also wildly excited, but he reined in his emotions and spoke, "Let us not be hasty. We should proceed further and see what other discoveries await."

With those words, Eldrin Chen continued forward, soon arriving at the vast, deep valley's very core.

It was then, peering through the dense forest canopy, that they beheld an ancient tree of unimaginable majesty.

It was a colossal, archaic tree that seemed to connect earth and sky, standing sentinel at the valley's heart. Its immense crown spread like the very Firmament [the vault of heaven; the sky], shrouding everything beneath in its vast shadow.

It stood there in utter stillness, enveloped by boundless Immortal Spirit Qi [a supreme form of spiritual energy, the very breath of immortals], while an immeasurably rich vitality brewed and swelled from its core.

Verdant Consort [a title for a powerful female cultivator] faltered, her expression one of disbelief as she spoke hesitantly, "That is..."

"That is a World-Opening Spiritual Root [a primordial spiritual root of legendary rarity], the Longevity Ancient Tree [the Ancient Tree of Longevity]!"

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, his voice carrying absolute certainty.

Only at this moment did he finally understand the source of the overwhelming, flourishing vitality that permeated the Water Vein Abode of Bliss [a blessed realm formed around a spiritual water vein].

It was all because, at the very heart of this Water Vein Abode of Bliss, there stood a single Longevity Ancient Tree whose canopy blotted out the heavens. Access the full story on audio-novel-dot-com.

The so-called Longevity Ancient Tree is an exceedingly rare Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root [a spiritual root born from the essence of heaven and earth]. It is the physical vessel for the Longevity Law [the Dao of Longevity] within the Mortal Dust [the mortal world], possessing the power to grant a form of immortality.

The Longevity Ancient Tree before them had already ascended to the Eighth Rank Heaven-Opening Realm [the Eighth Rank, the Heaven-Opening Realm]. Within it, a complete strand of Rule Power [the power of a fundamental cosmic law] had been born, imbuing it with astonishing and profound mysteries.

"A World-Opening Spiritual Root..."

The assembled immortals whispered, unable to conceal the awe shaking their hearts.

Such an Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure [a supreme treasure of the eighth rank, capable of cleaving open the heavens], even many Earth Immortal Progenitor [a progenitor who has attained the Earth Immortal realm] would covet it in vain, and even many Earth Immortal Blessed Land [a sacred land founded by an Earth Immortal] would enshrine it as their sect's Deep-Seated Foundation [a foundational treasure of immense strategic importance].

Yet now it appeared before them, leaving them with a sense of surreal disbelief.

At this moment, even Skywind the Immortal felt a flicker of greed flash through his heart, yet he swiftly suppressed the thought.

He understood clearly that with myself's power, even if he obtained this World-Opening Spiritual Root [a spiritual root of legendary grade, said to have been used in the primordial creation of worlds], he could never hope to defend it, not to mention they had already sworn a Heavenly Dao Oath [a binding oath sworn upon the Heavenly Dao, the fundamental laws of the cosmos].

"Though the World-Opening Spiritual Root is peerless, it is meant for Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] of Great Luo Foundation [the Great Luo realm, a supreme foundation for immortality] to utilize. With my own foundational cultivation, I have no need for such an artifact of World Creation [the primordial act of creation]."

Skywind the Daoist murmured, then turned his gaze towards Eldrin Chen.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen spoke with a promise: "That Supreme Grade Acquired Spiritual Root [a spiritual root of the highest acquired grade] known as the Heaven-Piercing Tree, I can bestow upon Fellow Daoist [a respectful title for a fellow cultivator] to refine into Four Extremities Heaven Pillars [magical treasures representing the four pillars that support the heavens]."

"Excellent."

Hearing this, Skywind the Immortal could not help but smile in response.

From this journey, he had obtained three thousand Black Serpent Scales [the scales of a primordial black serpent, a rare and potent material], and now he gained a Supreme Grade Acquired Spiritual Root. This could already be considered a bountiful and triumphant harvest.

Seeing that Skywind the Immortal agreed, Eldrin Chen felt a slight wave of relief wash over him.

He continued his stride towards the core of the Water Vein [a subterranean channel of concentrated water-attributed spiritual energy], finally arriving at the location of a spring.

It was a pool of water brimming with potent spiritual vitality, its surface shimmering with a crystalline glow, within which several Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [the highest grade of immortal artifact, just below Heaven-Opening rank] floated and sank.

Eldrin Chen made a quick inventory and found that, setting aside the ordinary Immortal Treasures [artifacts imbued with immortal power], there were five treasures of astonishing value.

These were: two portions of Water Vein Source [the primordial essence of a water vein], one portion of Ren Water Immortal Marrow [a marrow-like essence of Ren Water, one of the celestial stems, prized for cultivation], one piece of Heavenly River Immortal Gold [an immortal-grade metal refined from the essence of the Heavenly River], and one piece of Great Void Condensed Jade [a jade condensed from the essence of the Great Void, the primordial emptiness].

Among these five supreme treasures, four were Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure, but that single piece of Great Void Condensed Jade transcended the mundane, reaching the lofty ranks of an Eighth Rank Heaven-Opening Immortal Treasure [an artifact of the eighth rank, capable of 'opening the heavens,' a legendary tier].

"These are Heavy Treasures [treasures of immense weight and significance]," he murmured, his voice filled with awe.

Eldrin Chen's heart trembled slightly, and he hurriedly stored these precious items away.

After this, he did not immediately distribute the treasures. Instead, he first led everyone in a thorough inventory of the resources within the Blessed Land [a land blessed by heaven and earth, rich in spiritual energy].

Several days passed in this manner. Three days later, the gathered immortals convened at the core of the Blessed Land, each wearing a faint smile of satisfaction.

They understood that now, with the treasures fully inventoried, it was time to distribute the spoils. Immerse yourself in the complete world at audio-novel-dot-com.
