Chapter 1256 : Seeds of Immortal Favor

"I owe you a great favor, Senior. This is the least I could do."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod, then turned his gaze towards Solara and the other two.

After so many years apart, the cultivation bases of these three Elders from the Glazed Blessed Land had advanced considerably.

Among them, Solara had weathered four Great Tribulations and, with the support of the Glazed Blessed Land, her mastery over the Solar Rule Power [the power derived from comprehending and wielding a fundamental law of the cosmos] had grown significantly.

Moon Consort's [a title for a powerful female cultivator] cultivation had also progressed greatly; she now stood but half a step away from the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm.

Having received the PeerlessSource of the Stars [a primordial essence containing the condensed power of the stars] gifted by Eldrin Chen years ago, Stella's cultivation had finally broken through to the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm.

With this in mind, Eldrin Chen retrieved two Azure Lotus Seeds from his sleeve and spoke, "These are items I chanced upon. I brought them here, thinking they might be of some use to the three of you."

"Oh?"

Upon seeing the two Lotus Seeds, Solara and the others could not help but show a flicker of surprise.

With their discerning eyes, they naturally recognized the wondrous properties of these Lotus Seeds, and a glimmer of desire surfaced in their expressions. This chapter is part of a larger work available at audio-novel . com.

Fortunately, Solara had already cultivated the Solar Rule [a profound cultivation art governing the principles of the sun] and achieved the World-Opening True Body [a supreme physical cultivation state capable of splitting primordial chaos] known as the Solar Divine Body [a divine constitution imbued with the essence of the sun]. She merely needed to survive the Earth Immortal Great Tribulation [the cataclysmic heavenly trial required to ascend to the Earth Immortal realm] to break through to Half-Step Earth Immortal [a quasi-immortal state just below a full Earth Immortal]. Thus, this item was of little use to her now.

In contrast, both Stella and Luna [the Lunar Consort] revealed expressions of wild joy.

Between the two, Stella had cultivated the Starry Dao Rule [a divine ability that commands the laws of the stars], but her 『『『Stellar Divine Body|Constitution Names|new』』』 [a divine constitution aligned with stellar power] had not yet reached the Heaven-Opening Realm [the pinnacle stage of physical cultivation]. Therefore, this item was of great use to her.

As for Luna, both her Lunar Goddess Law [a cultivation art of the lunar goddess] and her Dawn Moon Divine Body [a divine constitution of the dawn moon] were but half a step away from entering the Heaven-Opening Realm. This item was precisely what she urgently needed, which was why both women were deeply moved.

Considering the precious nature of the Lotus Seed [a legendary spiritual seed], Luna and Stella could not help but look towards Divine Lord Glaze. The item's value was extraordinary. Although they possessed some wealth, they did not have sufficient surplus to purchase it.

"You two girls,"

Seeing their expressions, Divine Lord Glaze shook her head with a wry smile.

She looked at Eldrin Chen and spoke, "This item is indeed extraordinary, but I cannot simply take it from you. Is there a treasure you desire in exchange?"

"A treasure I desire..."

Eldrin Chen pondered briefly. At present, the treasure he most desired was naturally a World-Opening Spiritual Root [a supreme spiritual root capable of cleaving the primordial chaos of creation].

However, a Spiritual Root of this grade possesses an incalculable value, far beyond what two Lotus Seed could ever compare to.

If he requested something of too low a value, he would likely incur a loss; if he asked for something too extravagant, it would appear presumptuous and ungrateful.

After pondering for a moment, he ventured cautiously, "If Your Excellency is inclined, you may bestow any treasure you deem fit."

"You clever little fox."

Divine Lord Glaze could not help but shake her head with a wry smile. As a Nine Heavens Divine Lord, she was naturally not one to be stingy.

She cast a glance at Eldrin Chen and said thoughtfully, "Given your current level of cultivation, ordinary treasures would likely be of little use to you."

"I shall grant you this instead."

As her words fell, with a flick of her sleeve, a stream of Dao Gold light descended into Eldrin Chen's hand.

The treasure materialized, transforming into a pure golden ingot. This ingot weighed a mere one Qian-weight [five grams], appearing no larger than a grain of rice.

Yet, within it pulsed a boundless power of destiny [the metaphysical force governing fortune and fate], as if it had been forged by condensing the grand fortune of an entire world.

"Could this be..."

Gazing at the treasure in his hand, Eldrin Chen had a suspicion and spoke with a hint of uncertainty.

Divine Lord Glaze gave a slight nod and then said, "This is indeed the Fortune Dao Gold [a supreme treasure formed from the condensation of boundless fortune and destiny], coalesced from the destiny of my Glazed Blessed Land."

"It truly is this object."

Eldrin Chen's heart trembled, and an expression of wild joy could not help but appear on his face.

Long before Ascending to Immortality, Eldrin Chen had heard of the reputation of Fortune Dao Gold. This Fortune Dao Gold is a supreme treasure born from the convergence of boundless destiny. Find thousands of chapters at audio-novel.com (official site).

For an Immortal at the Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality, if they could refine one Qian-weight [five grams] of Fortune Dao Gold, they would receive the blessing of immense destiny. The possibility of comprehending a Law Dao Fruit [the fruit of enlightenment representing mastery over a fundamental law of reality] would greatly increase, and the chance of cultivating a World-Opening Dao Fruit [a supreme divine ability capable of creating a world] would rise by at least thirty to forty percent.

If there were one Liang-weight [fifty grams] of Fortune Dao Gold, it would still be of great benefit even to someone like Divine Lord Glaze, who is at the Earth Immortal Nine Layers, sufficient to increase her certainty of comprehending Dao Principles [the fundamental principles of the Dao] by thirty percent.

And if the amount of Fortune Dao Gold were sufficient, it would hold significant benefit even for a Heavenly Immortal Paragon, which illustrates the preciousness of this Fortune Dao Gold.

Seeing the expression on Eldrin Chen's face, Divine Lord Glaze smiled faintly and added, "This Fortune Dao Gold is only one Qian-weight [five grams], but it should be sufficient for one at your current realm."

"In exchange for your two Azure Lotus Seed [a rare spiritual seed that can nurture the soul], you will not be at a loss."

"Not at all, not at all," Eldrin Chen hastily took the Fortune Dao Gold [a mystical gold imbued with the Dao of fortune and destiny], saying with delight, "For you, Senior, to bestow this item, it is I, the junior, who has received the greater favor."

Divine Lord Glaze gave a slight nod, then glanced at Nyssa Qu and spoke calmly, "Nyssa's Seven Ultimate Spirit-Slaying Sword [a legendary sword designed to sever spiritual essences] has not yet been fully forged; it is not yet time for her to enter the tribulation and emerge into the world."

"This time, I will have her remain within the Glazed Blessed Land [a paradisiacal realm of crystal and light]. After the Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic heavenly trial] concludes, we will gather the spiritual treasures required for the Seven Ultimate Spirit-Slaying Sword and then assist her in breaking through to the Earth Immortal [a realm of immortality tied to the earthly plane]."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen exchanged a look with Nyssa Qu before sighing, "If the Divine Lord [a title for a powerful deity] is willing to offer Nyssa sanctuary, this junior is, of course, profoundly grateful."

"This matter, then, shall trouble the Divine Lord."

"Mm."

Divine Lord Glaze nodded. She rose to her full height and, taking Nyssa Qu with her, ascended into the heavens.

Above the boundless Void [the formless, primordial emptiness], a Heavenly Scar [a rift torn in the fabric of the sky] slowly yawned open. An endless Seven-Colored Halo [a divine aura of seven radiant hues] spilled across heaven and earth, enveloping the vast expanse of the Glazed Blessed Land.

In that instant, the entire Glazed Blessed Land lifted from the ground and soared into that Heavenly Scar.

After the Blessed Land stele was withdrawn, only immortal mists lingered between heaven and earth, as if the former Glazed Blessed Land had vanished into oblivion.

"We bid farewell to the Ancient Ancestor!"

As Divine Lord Glaze was about to disappear, Eldrin Chen and the three Immortal Consort offered a slight bow.

Divine Lord Glaze cast one final glance at them and sighed, saying, "The Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic heavenly calamity] approaches. I shall seal my mountain retreat to avoid its calamity."

"Since you have chosen to enter this tribulation, remember to act with utmost caution. Should your Life and Death [a cultivation art concerning the cycles of life and death] be extinguished and your Dao [the fundamental principle or path in cultivation] dissipate, it would merely be a testament to inferior skill. I shall not intervene in your tribulation on your behalf."

Upon hearing this, the three Elder of the Sun and Moon Star immediately bowed slightly and said, "We thank the Ancient Ancestor for the reminder. We, your juniors, shall remember it well."

"Go now. I hope that by the time I emerge from seclusion, you will have already attained the Earth Immortal [a high realm of cultivation, signifying an immortal connected to the earthly plane] realm!"

With those words, Divine Lord Glaze and Nyssa Qu stepped into the boundless void, vanishing completely without a trace. Only a faint remnant of World Creation [the profound aura associated with the act of creating or shaping a world] lingered within the Glazed Sea Territory.

Only after he could no longer sense the presence of the Earth Immortal World [a pocket world created by an Earth Immortal] did Eldrin Chen finally let out a soft sigh of relief. He turned to the three Immortal Consort beside him and asked, "The Great Tribulation approaches. What are your thoughts on how we should proceed into this calamity?"

Upon hearing this, both Moon Consort and Stella furrowed their brows slightly and instinctively looked towards Solara, the Immortal Maiden.

As the Grand Elder of the Glazed Blessed Land, Solara, the Immortal Maiden, though only a Four Tribulations Immortal [an immortal who has transcended four heavenly tribulations], possessed strength and methods that rivaled even those of a Six Tribulations Immortal [an immortal who has transcended six heavenly tribulations]. She served as the pillar and anchor for the three women. Continue reading this story at audio-novel`com.
