Chapter 1222 : A Vow Upon the Heavenly Path

Any Earth Immortal Blessed Land [a land of profound spiritual fortune, capable of supporting the foundation of an Earth Immortal sect] can serve as the foundational base for an Earth Immortal Patriarch [a patriarch who has attained the Earth Immortal realm], sufficient to sustain the cultivation of several such patriarchs.

If word of this were to spread, the neighboring Lingering Sun Blessed Land [the Blessed Land of the Lingering Sun] would surely find it impossible to remain idle.

At this thought, Eldrin Chen spoke with a grave expression, "Regarding this matter, we must swear a Heavenly Path Oath [a binding vow sworn upon the Heavenly Path itself, invoking severe karmic consequences for betrayal]. It absolutely must not be revealed."

Six Stars Immortal [the Immortal of the Six Stars] also had a slight change in his countenance. He then took a deep breath and said, "This old man agrees. However, if we succeed in seizing the Blessed Land, I should rightfully receive one Supreme-Grade Immortal Artifact [a treasure of the highest grade within the Immortal Artifact tier] as my share."

"Agreed."

Eldrin Chen nodded, accepting this condition.

In the initial plan, after securing this Water Vein [a subterranean channel of concentrated water-attributed spiritual energy], ownership of the Supreme-Grade Water Vein [a Water Vein of the supreme grade] would be split with Six Stars Immortal holding thirty percent and the remaining seventy percent belonging to the Chen Immortal Clan.

However, upon discovering that this Water Vein was likely the core of a Blessed Land, Six Stars Immortal understood that his own strength was insufficient to claim such a large portion.

The value of an Earth Immortal Blessed Land is far beyond what a mere Supreme-Grade Water Vein can compare to. Recognizing his limitations, Six Stars Immortal decided to settle for a share of the Heavy Treasures [exceptionally powerful and valuable magical artifacts] and be content with his gains.

After all, he had already incurred a debt of gratitude to Eldrin Chen for his recent breakthrough to the Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier [the ninth tier of the Ascendant Immortal realm]. Securing a Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure [a supreme-grade treasure of the Immortal tier] on top of that would already constitute a bountiful harvest.

Even if he possessed more treasures, he feared he would be unable to defend them.

After all four had sworn their Heavenly Path Oath, Exquisite Jiang spoke up, asking, "That Black Serpent is immensely powerful. Even you, my husband, are not confident of victory. How should we deal with it?"

Eldrin Chen furrowed his brow slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "That Black Serpent possesses a body nearing Immortality [a legendary state of near-indestructibility]. To wound it, ordinary immortal weapons and divine swords are insufficient."

"Only the Crimson Dragon Sky-Scorching Sword, Verdant Consort's Crimson-Azure Twin Dragon Swords, and my own Celestial Abyss Twin Swords can inflict meaningful harm upon it. Yet even that may not be enough."

Hearing this, Verdant Consort also frowned thoughtfully.

After a brief contemplation, she spoke, "During the sword contest at the Celestial Stele Sea [a mysterious sea filled with ancient stone steles], you obtained a set of Heavenly Dragon Demon-Subduing Sword Formation. If seven Immortal [beings who have transcended mortality] were to jointly activate it, it might also be capable of wounding that Black Serpent."

Exquisite Jiang nodded in agreement and added, "Engaging the Black Serpent is far too perilous. Without strength at or above the Mid Ascendant Immortal Realm [a high level of immortal cultivation], the slightest misstep could lead to annihilation."

"The selection of personnel for this Sword Formation [a coordinated battle array centered on swords] requires careful consideration."

Seeing the situation, Eldrin Chen stated, "My Great Five Elements Primordial Solar Divine Thunder [a supreme thunder technique harnessing the five elements and solar power] has been deduced to the Great Perfection Realm [the pinnacle stage of mastery]. Of the required Five Elements Thunder Source [rare spiritual essences embodying the thunder of the five elements], I have only gathered three types."

"If I can obtain the remaining First Wood Thunder Source and that Blazing Third Fire Thunder Source, I am confident I can master the technique in a very short time."

"By then, relying on the Great Five Elements Primordial Solar Divine Thunder [a supreme thunder technique harnessing the combined power of the five elements and the primordial sun], we could pose a significant threat to the Black Serpent [a legendary, colossal serpent of immense power]."

Exquisite Jiang nodded upon hearing this and then spoke, "If that is the case, then our most urgent task is to gather the Five Elements Thunder Source [a rare spiritual material containing the condensed essence of thunder from all five elements] for you, so you can first cultivate the Great Five Elements Divine Thunder [a powerful divine thunder technique derived from the five elements]."

"Mm-hmm!"

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod and said, "Let us return first. Once we are fully prepared, we shall return to deal with this Boundless Black Serpent [the specific, immense Black Serpent dwelling in the depths]."

"..."

After returning to the clan from the Abyss of the Returning Abyss, the Chen Immortal Clan immediately began collecting the First Wood Thunder Source [a thunder source imbued with the essence of the Wood element] and the Blazing Third Fire Thunder Source [a thunder source blazing with the essence of the Fire element].

However, the Five Elements Thunder Source was far too rare. Eldrin Chen waited for over two hundred years before finally receiving news concerning it.

"Within the Celestial Glaze Sea Region [a vast, crystalline sea region known for its beauty and danger], there lies a Five Thunder Immortal Island [a legendary island where five elemental thunders converge]. Every ten thousand years, a Five Elements Thunder Source is born there?"

On this day, as Eldrin Chen read the message in his hand, a flicker of joy appeared between his brows.

The Celestial Glaze Sea Region was located in the Western Essence Divine Abyss Sea Central region. It was separated from the Returning Abyss Sea by more than thirty sea regions; a round trip would likely take around one thousand eight hundred years.

"That distance is quite vast, but fortunately, the Void Gate [a portal capable of traversing immense distances] in the Meteor Sea is about to open."

"This time, by using the Void Gate, the round trip should not take long."

Eldrin Chen spoke with a smile, giving instructions to Exquisite Jiang before parting: "Make your preparations. Once I return, we will likely move against that Boundless Black Serpent [a colossal serpentine demon beast] before long."

With those words, Eldrin Chen wasted no further time. He flew straight to the Meteor Sea and, utilizing the Void Gate, arrived at the Celestial Glaze Sea Region.

"So this is the Celestial Glaze Sea Region?"

Upon reaching the Celestial Glaze Sea Region, Eldrin Chen fell into a pensive silence, recalling the information he had gathered. Your portal to cultivation novels: audio-novel dot com.

This Celestial Glaze Sea Region was one of the three thousand sea regions within the Western Essence Divine Abyss Sea. While it lacked an Earth Immortal Blessed Land [a land imbued with profound spiritual energy, suitable for Earth Immortal cultivation], it was still anchored by a Patriarch at the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm [a realm just below that of a full Earth Immortal], who stabilized its Fortune [the spiritual luck and destiny of a place].

The Sovereign [the ruling power] of this Celestial Glaze Sea Region was the Celestial Glaze Immortal Sect. This sect specialized in thunder-based cultivation arts, as they occupied a supreme-grade immortal thunder vein known as the Five Thunder Immortal Island.

The Five Elements Thunder Source [a spiritual essence containing the power of thunder fused with the five elements] produced by that Five Thunder Immortal Island was precisely what Eldrin Chen needed for his journey.

"It is said that within this Celestial Glaze Immortal Sect resides a Five Tribulations Half-Step Earth Immortal [a Half-Step Earth Immortal who has survived five heavenly tribulations]. Due to their mastery of thunder arts, their combat prowess rivals that of an ordinary Six Tribulations Earth Immortal."

"Such an Immortal Sect [a major organization of cultivators], we must still be cautious in our dealings with it."

Eldrin Chen murmured to himself. After roughly estimating the strength of the Celestial Glaze Immortal Sect, he strode towards his destination.

Before long, he arrived before a majestic floating Immortal Isles [a large, magically suspended island].

This floating Immortal Isles was a market established by the Celestial Glaze Immortal Sect. Without further hesitation, Eldrin Chen stepped onto the immortal market.

With his cultivation at the Late Ascendant Immortal Realm [a high level of immortal cultivation], he naturally drew the attention of the Immortal [a being who has achieved immortality through cultivation] overseeing the market.

The moment he set foot on the market, a brilliant Immortal Radiance [a radiant aura signifying immortal power] surged upwards, and a graceful figure stepped forward to meet him.

"A guest arrives. This humble one failed to welcome you from afar. Please forgive my discourtesy, Fellow Daoist."

Eldrin Chen glanced at the newcomer, momentarily taken aback, then smiled and said, "So it is Immortal Maiden Jiang. You are too courteous, Maiden."

The person before him was none other than Yellow Robe Jiang.

During the sword contest at the Celestial Stele Sea [a mystical realm filled with ancient stone steles], this Yellow Robe Jiang had once crossed blades with Eldrin Chen, displaying strength that even approached the Half-Step Earth Immortal [a realm just below that of a full Earth Immortal] level.

The Primordial Unity Bulwark Earth Heavenly Thunder Tribulation Sword Fiend he displayed was truly Extraordinary, leaving a profound impression on Eldrin Chen.

Meeting an acquaintance, Eldrin Chen clasped his hands and said, "In our previous sword duel, I did not hold back. I must beg your forgiveness, Immortal Maiden."

"Not at all..."

Yellow Robe Jiang gave a bitter smile and replied, "My skill was simply inferior. Let us speak no more of it."

As they conversed, Yellow Robe Jiang guided Eldrin Chen onto the Immortal Isles.

It was only then that Eldrin Chen realized this Yellow Robe Jiang was actually the Grand Elder of the Celestial Glaze Immortal Sect.

They strolled to a courtyard, sitting opposite each other beneath a pear blossom tree. Yellow Robe Jiang personally poured a cup of tea for Eldrin Chen, her beautiful eyes smiling as she inquired.

"Fellow Daoist, your visit to our Celestial Glaze Market—what is it you seek to acquire?"

"Ah." Turning to the matter at hand, Eldrin Chen smiled slightly and stated, "I have come for the Blazing Third Fire Thunder Source and the First Wood Thunder Source."

"I see."

Yellow Robe Jiang [a powerful cultivator known for his distinctive attire] gave a slight nod, as if he had anticipated this all along, and said with a smile, "Our Celestial Glaze Immortal Sect [a renowned sect famous for its unique resources] is a prolific source of Five Elements Thunder Source [a rare, high-purity spiritual material containing the essence of thunder and the five elements]. It is no surprise that a fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a cultivator] would come seeking it." Join our community of readers at AUDIO-NOVEL.COM.
