Chapter 1192. Advancing to Houtian(ADJ) Top-Grade Immortal Root

At this thought, Eldrin asked Qing Ji, "How has Qing'er been these past few years?"

At the mention of Chen Xianqing, a smile graced Qing Ji's lips as she said, "Having endured the tribulations of that era and undergone 10 1000 years of purification by the Blue Lotus, her wayward heart has finally been refined."

"Truly?"

A flicker of joy stirred within Eldrin’s heart, and he spoke softly, “It has not been in vain—all these years we have chanted scriptures for her day and night.”

"Mm." Qing Ji also nodded, her voice brimming with joy: "The Green Lotus has advanced to the Immortal Grade, Upper Tier. It is now ready to emerge into the world."

"Not enough."

Eldrin shook his head, then led Qingji toward the Green Lotus Lake.

Arriving at Green Lotus Lake, the 2 came beside the Creation Green Jade Lotus.

The moment Eldrin laid eyes on the green lotus, his pupils faintly trembled. This lotus was a treasure in its entirety, and having advanced to the upper-grade immortal rank, it had become an astoundingly precious rarity.

Among them, the lotus leaves could be refined into immortal swords, the lotus platforms forged into immortal treasures, the lotus seeds could aid immortals in breaking through to the late-stage Ascension Realm, and the lotus roots were supreme treasures for cultivating a second primordial spirit.

It could be said that even a Ninth-Level Ascendant Immortal who obtained this Azure Lotus would see their wealth multiplied manifold.

Yet such a priceless treasure was still not enough to move Eldrin.

Eldrin possessed the Primordial Purple Qi and was never in want of a Heavenly Spiritual Root. Although this Green Lotus was a top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root, his ambitions reached far beyond.

"This Jade Lotus of Creation, even when grown to its utmost, remains merely a top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root)."

"To advance further, 1 must break through their own limits and nurture the embryonic form of a single strand of rule."

Qing Ji’s eyes flickered slightly as she spoke with a hint of hesitation, “A nascent form of the Dao’s rule.”

"Hmm, the embryonic form of a rule."

Eldrin nodded, his gaze profound as he said, "For an immortal to break through to the Earth Immortal realm, 1 must either comprehend the power of rules, using supreme principles to cleave heaven and earth."

"Either cultivate the Primordial Chaos True Body, using physical strength unparalleled throughout the ages to forcibly split heaven and earth."

Or perhaps condense the Fruit of Creation, using the divine power of creation and boundless magic to cleave apart heaven and earth.

"Such celestial elixirs and spiritual roots, to ascend to the World-Forging Realm, must first gestate the elusive power of cosmic principles."

Hearing this, Qing Ji couldn't help but ask with some hesitation, "Could your Primordial Purple Qi help it nurture the power of rules?"

"Worth a try."

Eldrin spoke calmly, exhaling a wisp of Postnatal Primordial Purple Qi that flowed toward the Creation Blue Lotus.

That Jade Lotus of Creation absorbed a single wisp, immediately bursting into dazzling immortal light as strand after strand of aura swirled within its core. Yet it seemed to have never quite crossed that final threshold.

"Something's changed."

A surge of delight rose in Eldrin’s (Person Name) heart, and without hesitation, he expelled the Acquired Primordial Purple Qi once more.

After expelling 9 strands of Postnatal Primordial Purple Qi in succession, the Creation Green Jade Lotus finally underwent a subtle transformation. An intangible shackle seemed to shatter, and the embryonic form of a rule began to take shape.

It is done!

Gazing upon the Jade Lotus of Creation before him, Eldrin let out a subtle sigh of relief.

After some calculations, he smiled and said to Eldrin, "I've deduced that the current Creation Cyan Jade Lotus has already broken its shackles. It only needs 10 1000 years to advance into a top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root)."

However, after advancing to the supreme-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), it would fully mature—the lotus leaves, rhizomes, and lotus throne would all shed entirely, leaving behind only a single nascent seed.

"When the time comes for Qing'er to reemerge into the world, her foundation and latent potential will be greatly enhanced. Both her Childlike Innocence Core and her Lotus Purity Body of Cleansing the World will undergo remarkable transformations."

Hearing this, Qingji felt a faint stir of joy in her heart. She gently caressed the azure lotus and murmured, "My dear Qing'er, focus on your rebirth within this lotus. When you emerge into the world, you shall forge an unparalleled foundation of the Great Dao."

Qinglian listened quietly. Chen Xianqing, slumbering within nirvana, could not speak, yet the lotus leaves swayed gently in the breeze as if responding to her.

After dealing with the Green Lotus Platform, Eldrin returned to the Stellar Glaze Realm and discovered that Lyra was still in seclusion, breaking through to the Sixth Celestial Ascension. He then made his way to the Spirit Herb Garden.

After tens of thousands of years of cultivation, the immortal herb garden behind Verdant Chariot Mountain (Location) was no longer what it had been.

Over a dozen immortals took turns cultivating the medicine garden, which had now expanded to 3 mu of immortal soil. 2 mu were dedicated to growing Mystic Jade Golden Bamboo, while the remaining 1 mu was planted with...

Various immortal medicines. After years of cultivation, the Profound Jade Golden Bamboo had undergone significant changes, with approximately a dozen or so golden bamboos transforming into Marrow-Jade Golden Shoots.

These golden bamboo shoots were thriving splendidly, with 14 being low-grade immortal shoots and 3 being mid-grade immortal shoots. It appeared that within the next 50 to 1 100 1000 years, these golden shoots would begin ripening successively.

Once they ascend to the Immortal-rank Upper Grade, they will bring immense wealth to the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization).

Moreover, this wealth was a continuous stream. With the expansion of the spirit herb garden, it could likely sustain the cultivation of several late-stage Ascension Realm immortals.

Aside from the Jade Marrow Golden Bamboo, there was also an exceptionally rare spiritual root within this herb garden—the Fire Phoenix Parasol Tree.

That Fire Phoenix Parasol Tree was the most supreme Heaven-Opening Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root). If utilized as 1 of the 4 heavenly pillars, it could nurture a World-Guarding Heaven-Opening Fire Phoenix.

The Heaven-Sundering Fire Phoenix possessed astonishing power, and its strength continued to grow alongside the Earth Immortal realm. Even at its weakest, it could rival a supreme expert at the half-step Earth Immortal level.

Today, Eldrin came to the Spirit Herb Garden after advancing the Blue Lotus, all for the sake of the Fire Phoenix Parasol Tree.

Master!

Sensing Eldrin's arrival, a crisp sound rang out from atop the Phoenix Flame Parasol Tree.

Lihong descended from the tree, gazing at Eldrin (Person Name) with a gentle smile as she said, "Lihong pays her respects to her master."

"Hmm!"

Eldrin gave a slight nod. As a Crimson Sparrow of Li Fire, Li Huang was akin to the Azure Dragon of Vital Wood among dragonkind—a pinnacle variant within the phoenix lineage. It came as no surprise that she preferred to perch upon the Fire Phoenix Parasol Tree.

Over the years, Lihuang had been cultivating in seclusion upon the Fire Phoenix Parasol Tree. Her progress in cultivation was even swifter than it had been within the Starry Glaze Realm—a testament to the profound mysteries of the Fire Phoenix Parasol.

Thinking of this, Eldrin said, "You may withdraw."

"Hmm."

Li Huang nodded, offered a slight bow, and departed.

After Li Huang departed, Eldrin immediately expelled 9 strands of Postnatal Primordial Purple Qi in succession, infusing them into the Phoenix Fire Parasol Tree.

As the Primordial Purple Qi integrated, Eldrin faintly sensed the Fire Phoenix Parasol Tree undergoing rapid metamorphosis.

He grew ever more towering, ever more profound and unfathomable, as if some unseen principle was being born within him.

Noticing the change in him, Eldrin felt a flicker of delight, his gaze deepening thoughtfully as he murmured, "I wonder how the peak-grade Post-Heavenly Spiritual Root differs from the high-grade Post-Heavenly Spiritual Root when serving as a fourth-level Heavenly Pillar."

Eldrin murmured softly, a pensive gleam flashing once more in his eyes.

He faintly perceived that if this Supreme Grade Post-Heavenly Spiritual Root were to serve as a fourth-level Heavenly Pillar, the difference would likely be immense compared to a Superior Grade Post-Heavenly Spiritual Root.

Unfortunately, he remained completely in the dark regarding the path to the Earth Immortal realm, utterly ignorant of its true mysteries and unaware whether his speculations were even correct.

"My knowledge of the Earth Immortal path remains far too limited, and I know nothing of its hidden mysteries. It seems I must find a way to befriend eminent masters and seek guidance from senior practitioners."
