Chapter 1223. Great Completion of 5 Elements Divine Thunder

"I wonder which of the 5 Elements thunder sources you require, fellow Daoist."

Understanding Eldrin’s (Person Name) purpose, the figure in ginger robes smiled and said.

Seeing the look in Jiang Huangyi’s eyes, Eldrin nodded without hesitation and said, "What I need are precisely the Li Fire and Jia Wood Thunder Sources."

"So that is how it is."

Jiang Huangyi nodded slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment."

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Huangyi hurried away. Moments later, she returned, holding 2 jade boxes in her hands.

Eldrin took it and couldn't help but smile. "The Jia Wood and Bing Fire Thunder Sources—may I ask how they're priced?"

Jiang Huangyi’s eyes flickered slightly before he smiled and said, “How about pricing it at 150 portions of xianyuan?”

"Agreed."

Eldrin gave a slight nod. The value of ordinary low-grade immortal materials was generally around 1 100 immortal coins. Since this 5 Elements Lightning Source was relatively rare, its price tended to be significantly higher. This offer could be considered quite reasonable.

Taking out 300 Immortal Sources to complete the transaction, Eldrin finally felt a slight sense of relief in his heart.

He did not depart immediately. After a glance at Jiang Huangyi, he pondered for a moment and said, "During the sword duel at the Heavenly Stele Sea, the augmentation divine ability you demonstrated truly astonished me, Fellow Daoist."

"I wonder if you would be willing to part with this divine ability, Fellow Daoist, and sell it..."

At this point, Eldrin paused briefly before continuing, "If the Fairy is willing to sell, I shall offer a most satisfactory price."

Upon hearing this, the woman in turmeric robes abruptly changed expression and hastily shook her head, "This divine ability is this humble 1's means of survival. I currently have no intention of selling it."

"I see." Eldrin nodded slightly before rising to cup his hands in salute. "My apologies for the presumption."

Seeing this, the woman in turmeric robes softened her expression slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist, there is no need for sorrow. The cultivation method for this divine ability is exceedingly demanding. Even if you were to acquire it at a high price, I fear you may not necessarily succeed in mastering it."

"I understand."

Eldrin nodded slightly, a faint smile gracing his lips. "I have already obtained the treasures I sought on this journey, thus I shall take my leave without further delay."

"If in the future, Fairy visits the Sea of Returning Ruins, you must inform me so I may fulfill my duties as host."

"Very well," Ginger Robe nodded, saying with a gentle smile, "Fate permitting, I shall impose upon you then."

With those final words, Eldrin did not linger any longer. He departed from the Sky Glaze Sea and set off toward the Sea of Returning Ruins.

After locating a Void Gate, Eldrin once again utilized it to return to the Sea of Returning Abyss, arriving directly atop Verdant Chariot Mountain.

Upon returning to Verdant Chariot Mountain (Location), Eldrin (Person Name) immediately entered the Stellar Glazed Realm and began secluded cultivation of the Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder.

His Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder had already been fully conceptualized. Now that he had gathered all 5 thunder sources and supplemented his cultivation with the perfectly mastered Primordial Chaos Law, it took merely 5 sexagenary cycles to successfully master the Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder.

Divine Thunder Attainment.

As the Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder neared completion, Eldrin (Person Name) felt a subtle sense of reassurance settle within his heart.

Now, he possessed the Yin-Yang Polarization Pearl for defense, the 5-Colored Divine Light as an auxiliary supernatural power, and the combined might of the Heavenly Union as an offensive treasure. With the addition of the Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder, his strength had once again increased significantly.

His magical power and the Primordial Chaos Unbounded Law were already no weaker than a Quasi-Earth Immortal who had weathered 4 great tribulations. Now, with the Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder cultivated to perfection, his methods had grown even more astonishing.

By his estimation, his current strength had likely surpassed that of a 4-Tribulation Half-Step Earth Immortal, roughly reaching the realm of a 5-Tribulation Half-Step Earth Immortal.

That boundless black serpent had likely reached the threshold of the 6 Calamities Half-Step Earth Immortal realm.

"With my current strength, I am still no match for it. But with Lyra and Qing Ji, plus that Celestial Dragon Subduing Demons Sword Array, we should stand a fighting chance."

"However, it would still be somewhat difficult to slay it outright."

His thoughts drifting slightly, Eldrin emerged from the secluded cultivation chamber.

Lyra had been waiting outside the cave abode for a long time. The moment she saw Eldrin emerge, she immediately asked, "How did it go?"

"At long last, my wish is fulfilled."

Eldrin spoke softly, a faint smile gracing his lips.

Hearing this, a faint glimmer of delight crossed Lyra's face. She then retrieved a name list from her sleeve and said, "These are the proposed candidates for the Heavenly Dragon Subduing Demon Sword Formation. What are your thoughts?"

"Oh."

Eldrin’s brow twitched faintly before he cast a glance at the name list before him.

Upon the list were written 8 names: Chen Tingyuan, Kael (Person Name), Yan Ziji, Lila (Person Name), Lihuang, Immortal Liuchen, Chen Ethan (Person Name), and Immortal Lianxu.

"The candidate to activate the Celestial Dragon Subduing Demons Sword Formation?"

Looking at the list before him, Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly as he fell into deep contemplation.

Most of the immortals on this list before him were existences at the Fourth Level of Ascension or above.

Among them, 6-Chen Immortal had reached the 9th Tier of Ascension, Void-Forging Immortal had attained the 7th Tier of Ascension, while Yan Zi Ji and Lila (Person Name) had both cultivated to the 5th Tier of Ascension.

The remaining individuals—Donghuang Chen Hongyuan, Lihuang, and Kael (Person Name)—all possessed cultivation at the Fourth Level of Ascendant Immortal realm.

Only Chen Ethan (Person Name) had achieved immortality the latest, possessing merely the Third Level of Ascendant Immortal cultivation. Yet as a supreme genius bearing dual Dao Fruits, his magical power had already reached the realm of the Fourth Level of Ascendant Immortal.

To unleash the ultimate power of the 7 Stars Demon-Subduing Sword Formation, it requires the combined efforts of 8 immortals.

The 6 Stars Immortal presided over the 7 Stars Soaring Dragon Diagram, while the remaining 7 individuals were tasked with activating the 7 immortal swords. Only through their combined efforts could the full power of this supreme-grade immortal formation be unleashed.

Eldrin spoke softly, pausing in brief contemplation before crossing out the name of Chen Ethan and replacing it with that of Celestial Feather Immortal.

Seeing this, Lyra (Person Name) furrowed her brow slightly and said, "Are we truly replacing the chosen candidate?"

"Hmm."

Eldrin nodded, his expression grave as he said, "This battle is no trivial matter. Even immortals may fall."

"Ethan has only been an immortal for 20 1000 years, and he just recently broke through to the third level of Ascendant Realm. Involving him now would be far too perilous."

"On the contrary, Celestial Feather Immortal has already broken through to the seventh level of Ascendant Immortal Realm. Perhaps they can be of considerable assistance to us."

Hearing this, Lyra (Person Name) nodded in understanding, realizing that Celestial Feather Immortal had stumbled upon a stroke of immense fortune.

This list was no simple roster of candidates; those selected to join the expedition would each receive a generous sum.

They were required to establish a Heavenly Oath, vowing not to disclose the aquatic blessed land of the Returning Abyss. In return, the Chen Family would grant them an additional portion of immensely valuable supreme-grade celestial treasures.

To get back to the main point, after Eldrin finalized the list, he spoke up: "I'll leave this matter in your hands. I'm heading to the Sunset Sea's Wind-Fog Island."

Lyra’s eyes flickered, and she could not help but remark, “You wish to ask Sky Breeze Daoist to intervene?”

"Mm." Eldrin gave a slight nod, then spoke: "Given our current strength, attempting to suppress and slay the Boundless Black Serpent remains somewhat beyond our capabilities."

"Only with the suppression of the Starry Cosmos Ancient Bell would there be over a 50% certainty of slaying it."

Chapter 1 The biting cold wind swept across the mountain peaks, carrying with it the scent of frost and decay. Lin Feng tightened his ragged robes, his breath misting in the frigid air. Before him stood the dilapidated gates of the Cloudy Mist Sect, once glorious but now fallen into disrepair. "Disciple Lin Feng, here to receive the monthly cultivation resources," he announced to the elderly gatekeeper. The old man glanced at him with pity-filled eyes. "The sect leader has decreed that outer sect disciples will receive only 10 spirit stones this month." Lin Feng's heart sank. 10 spirit stones wouldn't even sustain basic cultivation for 3 days. "But Elder, last month we received 30! How can I break through to the next realm with so little?" "The sect's resources are dwindling," the gatekeeper sighed, handing him a small pouch. "Take them or leave them." Clenching the meager pouch containing exactly 10 spirit stones, Lin Feng felt the weight of his circumstances. He had been stuck at the third level of Qi Condensation for nearly 2 years while other disciples progressed rapidly. Without sufficient resources, his cultivation would stagnate forever. As he turned to leave, a haughty voice rang out. "If it isn't the eternal third-level trash!" Zhao Shan (Person Name) approached with 2 followers, his new inner sect disciple robes shimmering in the sunlight. "Heard you got your allowance. Why don't you hand it over? It would be wasted on someone with your... limited potential." Lin Feng's knuckles turned white. "These are mine by right." Zhao Shan sneered. "Right? In this world, strength is the only right that matters." He released a fraction of his spiritual pressure, making Lin Feng stagger backward. "I've reached the seventh level of Qi Condensation. You're nothing but an ant before me." Just as Zhao Shan reached for the spirit stones, a mysterious warmth spread from Lin Feng's chest where he wore a family heirloom jade pendant. Strange symbols flashed before his eyes, and a profound voice echoed in his mind: [Heavenly Dao System activated] [Host: Lin Feng] [Cultivation: 3rd level Qi Condensation] [Comprehensive assessment: Extremely poor] [Initializing first mission: Protect dignity, retain resources] [Reward: Primordial Chaos Cultivation Technique (Cultivation Method)] Lin Feng's eyes sharpened. He stood straight, no longer cowering under Zhao Shan's pressure. "I said, these are mine." Zhao Shan laughed mockingly. "Have you lost your mind? Do you really think—" Before he could finish, Lin Feng moved with unexpected speed. The Primordial Chaos Cultivation Technique automatically circulated within him, and he executed the most basic sect skill - Mountain Splitting Palm - with unprecedented perfection. A deafening crack echoed as Zhao Shan was sent flying backward, crashing against the stone gate in a cloud of dust. [First mission completed] [Reward distributed] Newfound power coursed through Lin Feng's meridians as the profound cultivation method imprinted itself in his consciousness. The surrounding disciples stared in shock and fear. Lin Feng looked at his palms, then at the groaning Zhao Shan. "It seems this ant can still bite." He turned and walked toward his humble dwelling, the morning sun casting his long shadow across the training grounds. The path of cultivation stretched endlessly before him, but for the first time in years, he could see a glimmer of hope in the distance.
