Chapter 1183. Goodbye Seraphina Qu (Person Name)
After much deliberation, Eldrin said, "Given our current strength, attempting to slay the Crimson Dragon Ancestor would indeed be rather risky."
"In that case, I shall send a letter to the Crimson Sunset Sea to inquire whether Daoist Tianfeng might emerge from seclusion to lend us assistance."
Everyone nodded upon hearing this, and Lyra (Person Name) couldn’t help but speak up, “Should we make a trip to the Glazed Paradise?”
Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) slightly furrowed his brow.
He understood Lyra's meaning. After all, the Crimson Dragon Ancestor was an existence who had laid the foundation of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. No amount of estimation could be considered excessive.
If the Crimson Dragon Ancestor had reached the Ninth Ascension Realm of Immortal Ascension, not only would they be unable to slay him, but they would likely suffer a devastating defeat.
After much deliberation, Eldrin had to acknowledge the reason in Lyra's words. After a moment of contemplation, he remarked, "When seeking assistance from others, it would be improper to go empty-handed."
"I shall take the Stellaris Fruit to the Glazed Paradise—it is something Star Maiden urgently requires."
Before parting, Eldrin summoned Lyra and Qing Ji alone. He handed them the Netherspring Sword and the Soul-Collecting Mirror, saying,
"To activate a supreme-grade immortal treasure, 1 requires at least the immortal essence of a late-stage Ascension Realm cultivator. Thus, the outcome now rests entirely upon your capabilities."
Upon hearing this, Qing Ji and Lyra (Person Name) both nodded, their expressions turning grave.
The supreme immortal treasure possessed extraordinary power, capable of unleashing world-sundering force when fully activated, yet its consumption was equally immense. Even a Late Ascension Realm cultivator could only muster the energy to execute 3 to 5 maneuvers.
Now, both Qing Ji and Lyra (Person Name) had cultivated to the Fifth Level of Ascension. Relying on the profound foundation of their Great Perfection roots, their spiritual power was truly extraordinary.
Among them, Lyra (Person Name) possessed a Primordial Chaos Foundation, wielding power roughly comparable to the Ninth Heaven of Ascendant Immortality. Meanwhile, Qingji (Person Name) had barely reached the threshold of the Seventh Heaven of Ascendant Immortality, just enough to wield a Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure.
Alas, only ghost cultivators could unleash the full potential of such a supreme-grade Nether treasure. If Qing Ji or Lyra (Person Name) were to wield it, they could only manifest 70 to 80 percent of its true power.
At this thought, Eldrin still cautioned, “This battle is likely to be quite thorny. You should provide support from the flanks and only strike when an opportunity arises.”
After giving instructions to the 2, Eldrin set off directly for the Glazed Paradise.
After months of arduous travel, he finally arrived at the Glazed Paradise and beheld Seraphina Qu (Person Name).
It had been some years since they last met, and Eldrin noticed that Seraphina Qu's cultivation had grown profoundly deeper—she had actually reached the Fifth Heaven of Ascendant Immortal realm, matching his own level of attainment.
You must understand, Eldrin (Person Name) had already reached the Second Heavenly Layer of Ascendant Immortal Realm even before his ascension. Now, nearly 20 1000 years had passed since he broke through to the Ascendant Immortal Realm.
In contrast, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) had only cultivated for a mere 13,000-odd years since her ascension to immortality—a full 5 to 6 millennia less than Eldrin (Person Name).
Noticing Eldrin's astonishment, Seraphina Qu smiled and explained, "Over these years, the Divine Sovereign has granted me considerable guidance. Combined with the profound mysteries of this Glazed Paradise, my cultivation has naturally progressed with remarkable speed."
"So that's how it is."
Eldrin nodded slightly, a trace of comprehension flashing in his eyes.
This Glazed Paradise is 1 of the most supreme blessed lands, where cultivation progresses 9 times faster than in the outside world.
Seraphina Qu (Person Name) had cultivated for a mere 10,000-plus years, yet it equated to over 100,000 years of cultivation in the outside world. Naturally, her cultivation base advanced by leaps and bounds.
At this thought, Eldrin sighed with emotion, "At this rate, it seems you'll break through to Earth Immortal before I do."
"Where's the chance of that?"
Seraphina Qu (Person Name) shook her head and said, "To break through to the Earth Immortal Realm, 1 must perform the feat of splitting heaven and earth. But where could such an opportunity be found so easily?"
Eldrin (Person Name) nodded in agreement upon hearing this. For an immortal to break through to the Earth Immortal realm, there were generally only 3 methods.
There are those who attain sainthood through physical cultivation, capable of cleaving heaven and earth with the power of their fleshly form.
Those who have comprehended the principles may also derive the power of laws, using supreme rules to cleave open heaven and earth.
There are also those who have attained the Dao Fruit, condensing the power of the Primordial Dao Fruit, capable of cleaving heaven and earth through their Dao Fruit divinity.
Yet whether it was comprehending the power of rules, cultivating the Primordial Chaos True Body, or condensing the Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit—none were easy tasks. They were still far from achieving any of these.
Thinking of this, Eldrin said no more. Remembering the purpose of his visit, he spoke, "I have come seeking assistance."
With that, Eldrin informed Seraphina Qu of the purpose of this journey.
Seraphina Qu (Person Name) furrowed her brow slightly upon hearing this and said, "I shall take you to meet the Divine Lord."
Following behind Seraphina Qu (Person Name), Eldrin (Person Name) proceeded directly to the heart of the Glazed Paradise, where he beheld the Glazed Divine Lord.
After so many years apart, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) still wore her rainbow-hued robes, her noble grace undiminished by time.
She understood Eldrin’s purpose and spoke calmly, “If the Crimson Dragon Ancestor has truly forged a Great Luo foundation, he will undoubtedly gain the favor of the dragon clan’s most powerful experts.”
"If you slay him, you may incur the wrath of the dragon clans in the future."
"Beyond the Flowing Rivers and 100 Seas lies the Dragon Clan's sacred land – the 1000 Dragon Lake. They are by no means easy opponents."
1000 Dragon Lake?
Eldrin's expression shifted slightly. That 1000 Dragon Lake was rumored to be a dragon clan blessed realm, said to house a 1000 true dragons—even several Earth Immortal true dragons—making its strength top-tier among all blessed realms.
The Earth Immortal of the dragon race who once stormed the Skybright Temple was none other than the ancestral elder from 1000 Dragon Lake.
With such power, I fear even the Setting Sun Blessed Land (Location) would struggle to withstand it, let alone the mere Verdant Chariot Mountain (Location).
At this thought, Eldrin hastily cupped his hands and produced the Stellar Fruit, saying, "I beseech the Ancestor to guide me."
"This item..."
A flicker of surprise passed through Glazed Spirit Lord’s eyes, and then he said with a light smile, “This Astral Fruit is a supreme-grade immortal treasure—quite generous of you to bring it out.”
"This item is indeed what Star Princess requires, so I shall intervene just this once."
The Glazed Spirit Lord spoke, then added, "I will hold off the 1000 Dragon Lake on your behalf, and have Star Maiden accompany you there."
"Whether you can slay that Crimson Dragon Elder depends entirely on your methods."
Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) said joyfully, "Many thanks, Divine Lord."
Glimmerglass Divine Monarch took the Stellar Fruit(Immortal Fruit) and handed it to Star Princess, saying, "You may go now."
Xing Ji took the Star Fruit, unable to suppress a look of ecstasy.
Their Spirit Shell clan possessed rather ordinary innate talent and foundation, with potential that was often limited.
The Lunar Pearl Clam and Stellar Pearl Clam were considered rare exotic species, capable of absorbing the essence of the sun and moon to refine their bloodline, though their progress was invariably excruciatingly slow.
With this Star Fruit, Xingji's innate talent and foundation would be greatly enhanced, likely enabling her to break through to the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm within 10 1000 years.
At this thought, a look of delight crossed Star Princess’s face as she gazed at Eldrin (Person Name) and said, “There’s no need to rush. I’ll make a trip to the clan treasury and return shortly.”
With that, Xing Ji made a trip to the clan treasury and returned shortly after, smiling faintly. "Let's go."
Eldrin had a vague sense that Star Princess must have retrieved a precious treasure upon her return, which steadied his heart somewhat. With renewed resolve, he set forth toward the Crimson Dragon Sea.
By the time he returned to the Crimson Dragon Sea, he discovered that Daoist Tianfeng had already arrived, and the various immortals of the Guixu Immortal Alliance had all gathered atop Verdant Chariot Mountain (Location).
