Chapter 1254 : The Divine Strategy's Glimmer of Hope

"Moreover, I wish to wait a while longer, to see if I can successfully refine the Twenty-Four Heavens Divine Strategy for him."

"The Twenty-Four Heavens Divine Strategy..."

Upon hearing this, Verdant Consort's eyes flickered with a subtle movement.

After a moment of contemplation, she also nodded and said, "The Old Patriarch has cultivated the Formation Tool [a specialized magical artifact for creating and controlling formations] for tens of thousands of years. His innate talent and skill in the Dao of Formation Tool are indeed the pinnacle within the Purple Realm."

"Having him cultivate this Twenty-Four Heavens Divine Strategy might truly hold a sliver of hope."

Eldrin Chen also nodded, then spoke, "I know the difficulty is immense, but we must still make the attempt."

With those words, Eldrin Chen said no more.

He stored away the Old Patriarch's Soul-Gathering Pearl [a magical treasure for collecting and preserving soul essence], then rose to his feet. "I shall make a trip to the Glazed Blessed Land," he declared. "I will visit Nyssa and also meet with Divine Lord Glaze."

"To the Glazed Blessed Land?"

Lyra Jiang's eyes shifted slightly upon hearing this, instantly grasping Eldrin Chen's intention. Your portal to cultivation novels: audi novel.com.

Having lived for thirty million years as a Pinnacle Earth Immortal [the highest achievable realm for a cultivator bound to the mortal world], Divine Lord Glaze had weathered dozens of Great Tribulations [cataclysmic trials of fate and heavenly punishment]. Her vast experience might offer Eldrin Chen invaluable guidance.

With this thought, Lyra Jiang spoke, "Then go swiftly and return without delay."

"I understand."

Eldrin Chen gave a firm nod. Without further ado, he set off directly for the Glazed Sea Territory.

His current cultivation level granted him a flight speed far surpassing his former capabilities. In the past, the journey from the Abyssal Sea to the Glazed Sea Territory would have taken the better part of a year.

This time, however, he traversed the boundless seas and arrived within the Glazed Sea Territory in a mere three months.

Unlike his previous visit, upon arriving at the Glazed Blessed Land, Eldrin Chen was granted an immediate audience with Divine Lord Glaze.

Deep within the Glazed Blessed Land, inside a magnificent Grand Hall that shimmered with the lustrous beauty of its namesake Glaze.

Eldrin Chen stood with serene composure in the center of the Grand Hall, his gaze calmly taking in the figures before him.

Within the hall, Divine Lord Glaze sat upon her divine throne. Luna stood in attendance alongside Nyssa Qu, Solara, and Stella.

Divine Lord Glaze cast a glance at Eldrin Chen and gave a slight nod, saying, "I have been waiting for you for quite some time."

"Had you not come soon, I would have had to summon you."

Eldrin Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and he could not help but inquire, "Does the Divine Lord's words imply there is an important matter requiring my presence?"

"Indeed." Divine Lord Glaze, clad in a seven-colored glazed gown, stepped out from the Grand Hall with a serene expression and spoke calmly, "The Great Tribulation approaches. It is time for our Glazed Blessed Land to seal its mountains and avoid the calamity."

"Seal the mountains and avoid the calamity?" Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen's eyes widened slightly in surprise. He had long heard of Blessed Lands employing such methods to evade tribulations, but he did not understand precisely how it was accomplished.

Divine Lord Glaze, understanding his confusion, offered a faint smile. "Very well. You will learn of this sooner or later."

"Then, let this day serve to inform you of the method of sealing the mountains to avoid calamity, as well as some key aspects of the Great Tribulation."

As she spoke, she began to explain the method of sealing the mountains to Eldrin Chen.

Through her detailed narration, Eldrin Chen quickly came to understand how an Earth Immortal Blessed Land could shelter its disciples and members through the Great Tribulation.

The reason an Earth Immortal Blessed Land could remain outside the tribulation was that, when the Great Tribulation arrived, the Earth Immortal Progenitor could draw the entire Blessed Land and all its inhabitants into their Earth Immortal World [the inner cosmos cultivated by an Earth Immortal]. This world could then be concealed within the Void [the formless, boundless space between realms].

Thus, an Earth Immortal World [a world created and sustained by an Earth Immortal] conceals itself within the fabric of heaven and earth. Only a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [the supreme realm above Earth Immortal] or a select few Earth Immortal Progenitor [an Earth Immortal skilled in divination arts] adept at celestial calculations can deduce its hidden location.

When the Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic era of heavenly ordained calamity] descends, the Heavenly Secrets [the obscured workings of fate and destiny] become muddled and chaotic. Even a Heavenly Immortal Paragon cannot pinpoint the whereabouts of an Earth Immortal World. Sheltered thus, one can pass through the Great Tribulation unscathed and secure.

The method of evading calamity employed by Divine Lord Glaze follows this same principle. She intends to take the entire Glazed Blessed Land [her personal realm of bliss], along with several hundred immortal spirits of the Immortal Clam Race [a race of clam beings who have attained immortality] and billions of their mortal kin, and hide within the Void [the formless, primordial emptiness between realms] to weather this tribulation.

"To hide within the Void... so this is the famed method of sealing the mountain to avoid calamity,"

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, a complex mix of awe and melancholy coloring his thoughts.

He sighed, his voice tinged with reflection. "Under the care of an Earth Immortal Progenitor, the Immortal [beings who have transcended mortality] within need not face the tribulation. They can live for millions of years without disaster or strife. Compared to the majority of Immortal struggling between heaven and earth, this is a fortune beyond measure."

Hearing this, Divine Lord Glaze shook her head. "While a Blessed Land [a paradise-like realm created by a powerful cultivator] can indeed shelter Immortal, it is not as simple as you imagine."

"In the mortal realms below, within a single Great Thousand World [a major world in the cosmic hierarchy], an Immortal can typically reside for no more than a Millennium [one thousand years] before the world's vital essence is severely depleted."

"The Earth Immortal World we Earth Immortal [the realm of cultivators who have created their own world] create also has a finite capacity to sustain Immortal."

"A finite capacity to sustain Immortal..."

Eldrin Chen paused for a moment, then after a brief instant, spoke with a thoughtful expression: "Indeed, an Earth Immortal World [a self-contained world created and sustained by an Earth Immortal] must also have its limits."

"Correct." Divine Lord Glaze nodded, stating calmly: "Generally speaking, the world opened by an Early Stage Earth Immortal Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] can, depending on its size, support as few as twenty or thirty Immortals, or as many as nearly one hundred."

"Typically, a world of the Third Heavenly Layer can support thirty Immortals, the Sixth Heavenly Layer can support sixty, and a Great Luo [the highest realm of immortal cultivation] seed of the Ninth Heavenly Layer can even support close to one hundred Immortals."

"One such as myself, at the Earth Immortal Nine Layers [the pinnacle of the Earth Immortal realm], can sustain several hundred Immortals. Those Earth Immortals [immortals who have forged their own inner world] who have opened worlds of only the Second or Third Heavenly Layer likely cannot even support thirty."

"I see."

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen finally understood why the Setting Sun Blessed Land [a sanctuary realm created by an Earth Immortal], despite having been passed down for millions of years, only had seventy-six Immortals.

Considering that the Setting Sun Blessed Land had been inherited to this day, even if it produced one Immortal every ten thousand years, there should have been at least several hundred Immortals by now.

Yet they only had seventy-six. The reason was not hard to surmise; it was most likely because the Duskfall Ancient Ancestor could only shelter twenty or thirty Immortals, forcing the others to be driven from the mountain to face their tribulations when the Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic heavenly calamity] arrived.

From this, it was clear that the slots [available positions or quotas] for entering an Earth Immortal World to receive its protection must be exceedingly precious.

Seeing the look on Eldrin Chen's face, Divine Lord Glaze immediately shook her head and said, "Actually, receiving the protection of an Earth Immortal World is not necessarily a good thing."

"The meaning of Divine Lord is..."

Eldrin Chen's words paused briefly. He roughly understood Divine Lord Glaze's line of thought and nodded in agreement. "Indeed. By not entering the Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic cosmic event that tests fate and cultivators], one may preserve their own life, but they would also miss the opportunity for a Dao breakthrough."

"Mm."

Divine Lord Glaze nodded and said calmly, "Within the Great Tribulation, there are many opportunities. If your methods are extraordinary and your fortune is good, you might soar to the heavens in a single leap."

"Opportunities within the Great Tribulation..."

Eldrin Chen's eyes flickered with thought. He immediately inquired, "May I ask, Senior, what exactly are these 'Great Tribulation opportunities'?"

Divine Lord Glaze did not answer immediately. Instead, she asked a question in return, "Do you know why this Heaven and Earth Great Tribulation [the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth] comes into being?"

Eldrin Chen pondered for a moment, then answered decisively, "Immortals [beings who have achieved immortality through cultivation] possess eternal life. They gather the essence of the Sun and Moon [the celestial bodies representing Yang and Yin], plunder all the rare treasures of heaven and earth, yet offer no act of restitution to the world itself."
