Chapter 1177. Little Samsara Stone

"Indeed, that is the case."

Lyra gave a slight nod and spoke, "To establish the Netherworld, we must still gather the Soul-Cleansing Pool and the Reincarnation Well from the 6 treasures of the underworld."

"Hmm."

Eldrin nodded, his gaze revealing a pensive expression.

Among the 6 Netherworld Treasures, the Soul-Cleansing Pool (Magical Artifact) can purify a soul’s memories, while the Reincarnation Well (Magical Artifact) serves as the key to the cycle of rebirth. It can be said that both are indispensable.

The key to the Soul Cleansing Pool lies in concocting the Soul Cleansing Water. Given the current foundation of the Chen Family, preparing the Soul Cleansing Liquid was well within their capabilities.

However, the Reincarnation Well is also extremely difficult to forge, requiring celestial treasures imbued with the power of reincarnation to succeed. Yet such treasures containing the essence of reincarnation are exceedingly rare.

Fortunately, the Chen Family had been preparing for this for many years and had some leads. Lyra's eyes flickered slightly as she said:

"I have confirmed through my inquiries that a Minor Samsara Stone will appear at the Exchange Convention of the Setting Sun Blessed Land 3 100 years from now."

"Minor Samsara Stone?"

Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly as he recalled the origin of the Cycle Stone.

The Reincarnation Stone is a unique celestial treasure, containing within it the power of reincarnation dao principles. It is said to be a supreme immortal material for forging heavenly immortal treasures.

If such a treasure were refined into a Celestial Immortal Supreme Treasure, a single strike could send an opponent's primordial spirit into the cycle of reincarnation—a truly formidable supreme treasure.

The Minor Samsara Stone could not compare to the true Samsara Stone, yet it remained an extraordinary treasure for immortals. Its grade was typically at least that of a superior immortal rarity, containing within it the laws of samsara, capable of manifesting the profound mysteries of cyclic rebirth.

This treasure can refine the 4 Paths of Samsara Well, enabling 1 to be reborn among the 4 races: human, ghost, beast, or demon. It is precisely what Patriarch Qing requires.

At this thought, Eldrin nodded and said, "The Barter Convention of the Setting Sun Blessed Land opens only once every 10 1000 years. By the reckoning, it has already been 10 1000 years since we ascended to the immortal realm."

"Indeed, time truly flows like a fleeting river, passing in the blink of an eye."

Lyra also felt a touch of nostalgia, for there was a time when they had first entered the immortal realm with nothing to their names.

Now, in the blink of an eye, 10 1000 years had passed. They had built a vast legacy and become the overlords of the Crimson Dragon Sea.

At this thought, Eldrin could not help but laugh. "I shall go purchase the Reincarnation Stone. Once we've dealt with the matter of Elder Qing, it will be time to settle accounts with the Crimson Dragon Sea."

"Very well." Lyra nodded with a smile. "Last time the Divine Descendants allied with the Crimson Dragons. Now it's time to settle accounts."

3 100 years passed in the blink of an eye, and the day to open the Can Yang Sea blessed land had arrived.

On this day, the Celestial Canopy Sea blessed realm gathered immortals from all corners, with over a 100 Transcendents assembled together. Each waited in silence for the opening of the Grand Barter Convention.

At that moment, a clamor arose as 7 or 8 immortals strode side by side into the Exchange Hall.

A curious immortal from the Crimson Sunset Sea couldn't resist asking, "Who are those people? Why do their faces seem so unfamiliar?"

The immortal beside him smiled faintly, stroking his beard as he remarked, "Brother Youqian, you must have been in seclusion for quite some time. How could you not recognize the Immortal of the Returning Abyss? He is the foremost immortal of the Crimson Dragon Sea, is he not?"

"The number 1 immortal of the Crimson Dragon Sea?" Immortal Youqian was momentarily taken aback before he couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the strongest expert in the Crimson Dragon Sea supposed to be Crimson Dragon Child?"

"That is all in the past now."

The immortal beside him sighed and shook his head, "The Abyssal Ascendant single-handedly vanquished Crimson Dragon Scion with naught but his sword, shaking the very heavens across numerous seas. Who under this vast sky remains unaware of his renown?"

"This man's power is truly heaven-defying. I fear even a half-step Earth Immortal Patriarch might not be able to kill him."

Eldrin paid no mind to the chatter of others.

He had come this time to purchase the Reincarnation Stone. Bringing along the Lord of the Dao Palace and some 7 or 8 other immortals was also a way to broaden their horizons.

As soon as he entered the great hall, he noticed Daoist Tianfeng was also present. With a spontaneous smile, he greeted, "It's been many years, Brother Tianfeng. Your dignified bearing remains as remarkable as ever."

Tianfeng Daoist (Person Name) let out a hearty laugh and shook his head. "I heard you slew Chiliongzi (Person Name) and shook the entire Scarlet Dragon Sea with your thunderous methods, my worthy brother."

Eldrin merely smiled faintly, offering no further comment on the subject, and instead inquired, "When the next great calamity arrives in 40 1000 years, Fellow Daoist, how much confidence do you have?"

Tianfeng Daoist (Person Name) merely replied with confidence, "I already have a 50 percent certainty."

Observing the expression on Elder Skywind's face, Eldrin knew with absolute certainty that the elder had the situation firmly in hand.

What gave him such confidence was most likely the Heaven-Splitting Supreme Treasure, the Starry Expanse Ancient Bell.

"In that case, after 40,000 years, this Daoist Tianfeng has confidence in breaking through to the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm."

A flicker of delight surfaced in Eldrin's heart as he murmured to himself.

He shared a life-and-death bond with Daoist Tianfeng, who was also a man of his word. If he could break through to the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm, they might well be able to support each other in the future.

At this thought, Eldrin cupped his hands and said, "When the great calamity arrives, should you require assistance, you may seek me out at Verdant Chariot Mountain."

"I will."

With that said, the 2 of them ceased further substantial discussion and drifted into casual, intermittent conversation.

Before he knew it, the day of the Treasure Exchange Conference had arrived.

This trade conference of the Setting Sun Blessed Land was presided over by a female cultivator known as Moonlit Spirit Immortal Ji (Person Name), the Eighth Elder of the Setting Sun Blessed Land.

His power had reached the Eighth Heaven of Ascendant Immortality, rivaling even that of the legendary Qing Shu Immortal from ages past.

The Moon Spirit Fairy brought forth 3 treasures: a piece of somber ancient stone, 3 resplendent spirit pills, and a massive square cauldron.

These 3 treasures were all rare and precious superior-grade immortal treasures. The resplendent Lustrous Core was the Heaven-Reaching Elixir, capable of increasing an immortal's chances of breaking through to the late Immortal Ascension Stage by 30 percent.

The square cauldron was an immortal treasure capable of both offense and defense. In attack, it could suppress heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers; in defense, it could deploy a protective barrier capable of withstanding strikes from those at the late stage of Ascension. Truly, it was a rare and superior immortal treasure.

The final piece of shadowed ancient stone was none other than the Small Samsara Stone that Eldrin required.

Eldrin had anticipated that the Setting Sun Blessed Land would produce these treasures.

Because supreme-grade immortal treasures were exceedingly precious, capable of aiding immortals in transcending the Earth Immortal Tribulation, even the Setting Sun Blessed Land would never be willing to part with them.

Moreover, all those present were ordinary immortals, and presenting such a superior immortal treasure would suffice as an offering to commence the scroll unveiling.

"As for that Heaven-Reaching Elixir, it seems the alchemy techniques of the Setting Sun Blessed Land can indeed be considered quite extraordinary."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, his eyes revealing a trace of solemn contemplation.

I recall at the last Trading Assembly, the Setting Sun Blessed Land already offered the Heaven-Reaching Elixir for exchange. Now, merely 10 1000 years later, they've produced 3 more.

This indicates that the Setting Sun Patriarch was likely an alchemist, as only an Earth Immortal-level alchemy skill could achieve a success rate in refining high-grade immortal pills sufficient to turn a profit.

Beyond that, even a top-grade immortal alchemist would most likely operate at a loss when refining high-grade immortal pills.

Eldrin (Person Name) had now reached the Fifth Heaven of Ascendant Immortal realm, not far from the late stage of Ascendant Immortal. Intent on purchasing 1 or 2 Celestial Ascension Pills, he sent a voice transmission to Lunar Spirit Immortal Maiden (Person Name):
