Chapter 1206 5-Colored Aurora

Eldrin stepped forward and sat down opposite the Transcendent Void Immortal.

Watching the wispy green smoke curling from the cup, he couldn't resist taking a sip. An extraordinary fragrance instantly coiled around his heart, prompting him to remark with surprise.

What fine wine, with an unexpected hint of tea fragrance.

That's right.

The Void-Refining Immortal nodded with a hint of pride before speaking, "In the celestial realm exists a legendary tea named 10-1000-Year Evergreen (Celestial Tea), a divine brew long vanished from the mortal world. The longer this tea is aged, the more exquisite its flavor becomes."

"I noticed its wine shared a wondrous similarity, so I brewed it with the 10 1000 Year Evergreen, and indeed crafted this rare vessel of celestial nectar."

Eldrin's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but speak up, "Bring a pot of this back for me."

"No, no, I only have this single gourd of wine. Allowing you a taste is already a rare privilege.

The Void-Refining Immortal shook his head repeatedly, clutching the wine jar without letting go.

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) remarked, "It seems this jar of wine of yours will not be spared today."

"Oh?" A flicker of amusement passed through Void-Refining Immortal's eyes as he shook his head with a light chuckle. "Surely you don't intend to seize it by force?"

"Not to that extent. You must willingly give it to me."

Eldrin (Person Name) chuckled playfully before saying, "Did you know, 5 1000 years from now, the Heavenly Stele Sea Sword Duel is set to commence?"

"I am well aware." The Void-Refining Immortal nodded, then smiled wryly. "The Sword Contest in the Heavenly Stele Sea is held to compete for that Heavenly Law Stele. Yet even for an immortal at the peak of the Ascension Realm, the chance to secure a spot remains vanishingly slim."

"With only the Sixth Heaven of Ascendant Immortal Realm cultivation, the prospect of reaching the Late Stage seems utterly remote. Could it be that you're actually capable of helping me secure a spot?"

At these words, the Void Refining Immortal couldn't help but pause briefly.

He glanced at Eldrin, then abruptly rose to his feet and exclaimed, "Could it be that you intend to lend me a supreme-grade immortal treasure?"

"No, no." The Void-Refining Immortal shook his head repeatedly, speaking with resignation. "Given my current cultivation level, I'm afraid even if someone handed me a supreme-grade immortal treasure, I wouldn't be able to activate it."

Eldrin did not reply. With a mere turn of his hand, he manifested a suit of immortal armor glowing with crimson light and translucent splendor. Upon witnessing this, the Void-Refining Immortal could not help but chuckle wryly and said, "It seems this jar of 10-1000-Year Evergreen Wine can no longer remain in my possession."

The might of a supreme immortal treasure was truly astonishing. With the immortal energy of a Void Refinement cultivator, it was fundamentally impossible to activate even an ordinary supreme immortal treasure. However, this Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Gilded Armor was a unique exception among supreme treasures. While even common defensive treasures like shields possessed some means of offense, this immortal armor completely lacked any attacking capabilities.

Eldrin's Yin-Yang Polarity Pearl, though primarily a supreme protective treasure, served both offensive and defensive purposes. Even if merely hurled as a projectile, its force was something no cultivator at the 9th Layer Ascension Realm could withstand.

This Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) only defended without counterattacking, its flaws far too apparent. Yet it possessed 1 tremendous advantage: its consumption of immortal essence was less than 1-tenth that of peerless immortal treasures.

Back in the day, with this treasure in his possession, the Crimson Dragon Ancestor could withstand the siege of the crowd without even exerting much effort. Had it not been for Chen Xiandao using his Celestial Eye to detect the flaw within, they would have had no means to subdue the Crimson Dragon Ancestor.

It was precisely for this reason that although the Refined Void Immortal could not activate supreme-grade immortal treasures, he was still able to wield this gilded Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) armor.

With this immortal armor upon him, the Void-Refining Immortal stood invincible. Even a Ninth Ascension cultivator would find it nearly impossible to harm him. His chances of securing a spot to comprehend the Heaven-Stele were undoubtedly significant.

Thus, with the heavens right before his eyes, the Void-Refining Immortal had no reason to refuse. He could only reluctantly hand over his jug of immortal brew.

Excellent wine.

Taking the 10-1000-Year Evergreen Wine, Eldrin remarked with pointed meaning, "This 10-1000-Year Evergreen Wine rivals the delicacy of dragon liver and phoenix marrow—I fear even immortals beyond the Western Sacred Abyssal Sea would covet it dearly."

"If you have the interest, Brother Dao, why not delve into some research within it?"

Void-Refining Immortal's gaze flickered with a moment of surprise before he remarked thoughtfully, "I do appreciate the reminder."

Departing from the Ethereal Void Island, Eldrin returned to the Verdant Chariot Mountain.

Lyra found him and retrieved a treasure box from her sleeve, offering it to him.

Eldrin took it and looked, finding 5 dazzlingly brilliant crystals inside, within which 5 resplendent immortal lights spiraled and coiled. He could not help but remark,

"5-Colored Aurora." "Precisely."

Lyra nodded and began to speak.

Seeing this, Eldrin nodded slightly. Over the years, his clan had been gathering cultivation resources for them.

Among the myriad resources, those regarded as paramount were the 5-Colored Aurora, the 5 Elements Thunder Origin, and the 5-Source Immortal Marrow—all celestial treasures of extraordinary rarity.

Among these treasures, the 5-Colored Aurora originates from the 5 celestial lights between heaven and earth. Only immortals can gradually gather them, making it a precious resource for cultivating various divine radiances.

Just as the Yin-Yang Polarlight Sword of the ancient Yin-Yang Ancestor was forged using supreme-grade immortal gold as its core, fused with vast quantities of yin-yang polarlight.

At this moment, the 5-colored aurora is the key treasure for cultivating the 5-Colored Divine Light.

Beyond that, the 5 Elements Thunder Source represents the fundamental essence of thunder of 5 distinct attributes, and serves as the crucial treasure for cultivating the Great 5 Elements Divine Thunder.

The 5 Origins Immortal Marrow is a celestial treasure that can only be produced within the veins of the earth, and it is crucial for cultivating Primordial Chaos True Qi. In the past, Yan Zi Ji refined the Fire Source Immortal Marrow, 1 of the 5 Origins Immortal Marrows, to cultivate her Violet Flame Immortal Body.

Whether it was the 5-Colored Aurora, the 5 Elements Thunder Source, or the 5 Origins Immortal Marrow, any single 1 of these celestial treasures was merely a low-grade immortal treasure. Given Eldrin's current wealth, none could be considered particularly rare or precious.

However, these treasures required the convergence of all 5 elements, which significantly increased the difficulty of gathering them.

Today, the combined efforts of the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) and the Returning Abyss Immortal Alliance, after gathering for tens of thousands of years, have only managed to collect 4 of the 5-Source Immortal Marrows, while just 3 of the 5 Elements Thunder Sources have been found.

However, this 5-Colored Aurora, as even Immortal Realm beings can fly into the 9 Heavens to gather it, happens to be the easiest to acquire.

Within the 5 Elements Thunder Sources, only the Gold Source Immortal Marrow remains unfound. As for the Wood-Aspect Thunder Source and Fire-Aspect Thunder Source, there are no means to obtain them in the surrounding seas.

"Now I have only managed to gather these 5-colored auroras. Take them for your cultivation first." Lyra spoke softly as she handed the shimmering 5-colored auroras to Eldrin.

Eldrin did not decline the offer. Having now cultivated to the Seventh Ascension Realm, it was indeed time for his innate divine abilities to advance further. While a celestial's prowess is fundamentally rooted in their own foundation, their true might largely stems from celestial treasures and divine arts.

Although divine treasures can rapidly enhance an immortal's combat prowess, they remain mere external aids that may be seized at any moment. Only 1's supernatural powers and abilities serve as the true foundation for securing 1's place in the world.

Now, his 5-Colored Divine Light had only reached the Immortal Stage, yet it already rivaled a Mahayana Immortal Stage divine ability, capable of seizing even top-grade immortal treasures. Once he advanced this 5-Colored Divine Light to the Mahayana realm, its power would undoubtedly increase exponentially.

Coupled with the full mastery of his Primordial Chaos Unbounded Law, even a supreme-grade immortal treasure might find itself restrained to some extent.

At this thought, Eldrin took the 5-Colored Aurora and said, "You should also cultivate with peace of mind, Madam. It’s not impossible for you to break through to the late Immortal Ascension stage before the Heavenly Stele Sea Sword Duel."

"Hmm." Chapter 1 1 100 years had passed. In the secluded valley, spiritual energy swirled like mist. Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the bluestone platform, his eyes tightly shut. The spiritual energy around him coalesced into visible strands, continuously pouring into his dantian. After 3 full days and nights, he finally opened his eyes. A faint golden light flickered in his pupils. "The ninth level of Qi Refinement... I've finally reached it." He murmured to himself, a trace of a smile gracing his lips. For the past 100 years, he had remained in this valley, devoting himself entirely to cultivation. From an ordinary mortal to the ninth level of Qi Refinement, he had traversed an unimaginably arduous path. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his mind. Countless fragmented memories surged forth like a tidal wave. He saw a vast starry sky, saw celestial palaces towering amidst the clouds, saw a sword light that blotted out the sun and moon... And also saw a graceful figure, slowly collapsing before him. "Senior Sister..." Lin Feng clutched his head, his face contorted in pain. These memories had haunted him for a 100 years, yet he could never grasp their entirety. They were like shattered shards of a mirror, reflecting fragmented scenes. He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart. Now was not the time to dwell on these matters. He stood up, his gaze sweeping across the valley. This valley was the legacy left to him by his master. Not only was the spiritual energy abundant, but it was also protected by layers of formations, shielding it from prying eyes. However, a 100 years had passed, and the formations were beginning to weaken. He needed to find a way to replenish them. Just as he was lost in thought, a sharp sound pierced the air. A streak of fiery red light shot across the sky, landing steadily in his hand. It was a transmission talisman. The talisman burned in his palm, transforming into lines of fiery text. "Fellow Daoist Lin, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion auction is about to commence. Are you interested in attending?" Lin Feng's eyes lit up. The Myriad Treasures Pavilion auction occurred only once every 10 years, a grand event for all cultivators. Countless rare treasures and materials would appear there. Perhaps he could find what he needed to replenish the formations. He made a grasping motion, and a flying sword appeared out of thin air. The sword was 3 feet long, its blade shimmering with a faint blue light—this was his lifebound magic treasure, the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss. He stepped onto the sword, and with a thought, he soared into the sky. The wind howled past his ears, the clouds and mist parting before him. Below, mountains and rivers stretched endlessly, cities and villages mere specks in the distance. This was the world of cultivation, a realm of strife and endless mysteries. And his journey had only just begun.

Lyra gave a slight nod, then smiled faintly. "I have a feeling my cultivation is approaching its bottleneck. Perhaps in another 1 or 2 1000 years, I may attempt to break through to the late stage of Ascendant Immortal."
