Chapter 1174. Huoyang Elder

"Golden Scales Drape the Firmament?" Murmured Azure Maiden softly, then could not help but chuckle. "What a magnificent name." Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) also revealed a faint smile.

Seeing that the 2 immortal treasures had been successfully forged, Eldrin rose to his feet. He strode out of the seclusion chamber and stepped into the Starlight Glazed Realm. Gazing upon the luminous crystalline domain, he murmured, "By my calculations, the time has come. Kael and the others should ascend within these 3 100 years."

"The time has come for this treasure realm to undergo its transformation." With these words, Eldrin took out the 3 1000 Stars and began refining them into the Stellar Glazed Realm.

This was an immense undertaking. In order to fully refine all 3,000 Starlight Pearls (Magical Artifact), several immortals from Verdant Chariot Mountain (Location) joined forces. Through their combined efforts, they finally succeeded in its refinement.

Once the 3,000 stars were refined into the Stellar Glazed Realm, 3 1000 resplendent celestial bodies instantly manifested across its expanse.

Thereupon, the power of the 9 Heavens' stars being channeled instantly multiplied severalfold, and the Stellar Glazed Light it nurtured naturally increased substantially.

"Success!" A surge of elation rose in Eldrin's heart as he felt the Starry Glazed Light. He could sense that after absorbing 3 1000 stars, the Starry Glazed Realm's "Starry Glazed Light" had intensified more than threefold—now capable of accommodating approximately 30 immortals cultivating simultaneously.

At this thought, Eldrin took out another wisp of Star Origin, his expression contemplative as he said, "If we fuse this Star Origin into it, the power of the Starlight Glazed Realm will surely be enhanced further." Yet Lyra furrowed her brow and voiced her hesitation, "But if we fuse the Star Origin, might it attract the greed of Earth Immortals?" Hearing her words, the others couldn't help but frown as well.

Given the current strength of the Chen Family, relying on the power of their defensive formations and Eldrin's (Person Name) abilities, they might barely withstand a Half-Step Earth Immortal. However, attempting to confront a true Earth Immortal Ancestor would be nothing short of a fool's dream.

Because a Half-Step Earth Immortal has not yet opened a world, even if they have comprehended the power of laws, their own Immortal Essence is far from sufficient. At full strength, they can only sustain a few moves at most.

If a Perfected Earth Immortal in the early stage were to unleash their full power, their might would not truly surpass that of a Half-Step Earth Immortal by any significant measure.

Yet with a world forged within their bodies as their foundation, even a full-powered strike capable of cleaving heaven and earth could be unleashed for hundreds of consecutive blows.

Therefore, the mountain-protecting formation of Verdant Chariot Mountain (Location) might withstand a few strikes from a Half-Step Earth Immortal, but it could never hold against an attack from a true Earth Immortal Ancestor.

It must be said that if it were to provoke the greed of the Earth Immortal blessed realm, Verdant Chariot Mountain (Location) would likely be unable to withstand it. Eldrin (Person Name) also felt somewhat concerned. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "There is only 1 trace of stellar origin. Even if it triggers the transformation of this Starlit Glazed Realm, I fear it would still fall far short of the Earth Immortal blessed realm."

"For us immortals, it holds value, yet it cannot aid Earth Immortal Elders in their cultivation. It likely won’t draw the attention of Earth Immortals." The women nodded slightly upon hearing this.

They had been to the Crimson Sunset Blessed Land and naturally understood its profound mysteries. Such a blessed land was a place shaped by the forces of heaven and earth, containing an astonishingly immense amount of the Dao’s essence within.

Not only would immortals cultivate several times faster within it, even Earth Immortals would see a significant increase in their cultivation speed.

Moreover, even the lowest-grade blessed land could sustain the cultivation of at least 3 Earth Immortals or 3 100 Celestial Immortals.

Not to mention, within the Earth Immortal blessed realm, rare and precious resources could still be produced. It could be said that compared to the Earth Immortal blessed realm, the Chen Family’s Starlight Glazed Realm still fell far short.

Even so, Lyra added, "To protect the secret of the Starlit Glaze Realm, all who enter hereafter must swear a Heavenly Oath."

"So it shall be." Eldrin gave a slight nod, then retrieved the Star Origin, preparing to merge it into the Starry Glazed Realm.

Unexpectedly, the moment the Stellar Origin appeared, it immediately triggered a fierce contention among the 3 treasure orbs within the Stellar Glaze Realm. In the end, the Stellar Origin split into 3 portions, completely absorbed by the Sun, Moon, and Stellar Orbs.

After merging with the Stellar Origin, the 3 precious pearls radiated increasingly brilliant light, their emitted Stellar Origin having grown remarkably purified.

Eldrin sensed something amiss. After a brief moment of spiritual perception, he discovered that the Starlit Glazed Realm could still only accommodate 30 cultivators at a time.

However, under the purer illumination of the Starlight Glass Radiance, the cultivation speed increased from threefold to fourfold.

"Fourfold?" Sensing the radiance of the Starlight Aurelia, a smile graced Eldrin's lips. Legend held that the ultimate limit of a blessed cultivation ground could amplify an immortal's cultivation speed ninefold, and an earth immortal's threefold.

And now, this Starlit Glazed Realm could increase cultivation speed by fourfold. Among the blessed lands of Earth Immortals, its wondrous efficacy could no longer be considered the lowest tier.

Though it could only accommodate 30 Immortals for now, that was more than sufficient for the present-day Chen Immortal Clan.

"...After advancing to the Starlight Glazed Realm, Eldrin secluded himself in cultivation there for less than 1 cycle of 60 years."

As the agreed-upon ascension day for Kael and the others drew near, he journeyed toward the Crimson Sunset Sea, arriving at the location of the Ascension Platform.

When he arrived at the Ascension Platform, Eldrin discovered it was guarded by an elderly man with silver hair. Having ascended over 10 1000 years ago, Eldrin was intimately familiar with the immortals dwelling near the Crimson Dragon Sea. He recognized the man’s origins at first glance.

This elderly man was known as 'Eldrin Firehand', the Second Elder of the Emberveil Sanctuary, whose cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the Ninth Tier of Ascendant Immortal realm.

This individual had cultivated the Solarflame Immortal Physique to perfection, with the Law of Waning Sun reaching a towering realm. As a supreme immortal who had achieved dual Dao Fruits, his power surpassed even that of ordinary Ninth-Level Ascendant Immortals.

"How could it be him?" A flicker of shock passed through Eldrin's heart. He immediately stepped forward with a warm smile. "Brother Huoyang, it has been too long."

"Oh." Elder Huoyang glanced over and immediately rose to his feet with a hearty chuckle. "So it's Fellow Daoist Guixu. I heard you've slain that vile dragon of the Crimson Dragon Sea—truly a monumental service in ridding our human race of a great scourge."

"You flatter me," Eldrin smiled faintly, then gazed at the Ascension Platform as he remarked, "This platform scarcely witnesses an immortal's ascent once in thousands of years. Why would someone of your stature be stationed here personally?"

"Alas." Elder Huoyang let out a sigh, a bitter smile gracing his lips. "Ever since the soul lamp of Elder Qingshu, the seventh elder of our Setting Sun Sect, was extinguished several 1000 years ago, the position of the Ascension Herald has remained vacant."

"This old man is merely fulfilling my sect duties, standing guard here for the time being." Eldrin nodded, yet still felt something was amiss.

Throughout the entire Fading Sun Blessed Land, aside from the legendary Fading Sun Ancestor who had reached the Earth Immortal realm, the most powerful figure was Grand Elder Setting Sun Ancestor—a Fifth Tribulation Immortal half-step into the Earth Immortal realm.

这火阳老人仅次于斜阳老祖，乃是残阳福地第三人，可见其实力和底蕴惊人之处。

For a supreme existence with dual Dao Fruits like him to forsake secluded cultivation and the comprehension of laws, instead serving as a mere Welcoming Immortal Envoy—this was truly peculiar.
