Chapter 1254 : The Glazed Divine Lord's Guidance

"Moreover, I wish to wait a while longer, to see if I can refine the Twenty-Four Myriad Heavens Heavenly God Strategy for him."

"The Twenty-Four Myriad Heavens Heavenly God Strategy?"

Upon hearing this, Verdant Consort's eyes flickered with a subtle movement.

After a moment of contemplation, she also nodded and said, "The Old Patriarch has cultivated his Formation Artifact [a specialized artifact for setting up and powering defensive or offensive arrays] for tens of thousands of years. His innate talent and skill in the art of Formation Artifact are indeed the pinnacle within the Purple Seal Realm."

"Having him cultivate this Twenty-Four Myriad Heavens Heavenly God Strategy might truly hold a sliver of hope."

Eldrin Chen nodded in agreement, then spoke, "I know the difficulty is immense, but we must still make the attempt."

With those words, Eldrin Chen said no more.

He stored away the Old Patriarch's Soul-Gathering Pearl [a mystical pearl capable of collecting and preserving soul fragments], then rose to his feet. "I shall make a trip to the Glazed Blessed Land, to visit Nyssa and also pay my respects to the Glazed Divine Lord."

"To the Glazed Blessed Land?"

Exquisite Jiang's eyes gleamed with understanding as she instantly grasped Eldrin Chen's intention. Read the full novel exclusively on audio - novel . com.

As a supreme Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has attained immortality by merging with the earth's spiritual veins] who has lived for thirty million years, Glazed Divine Lord [a title for a powerful immortal lord] has weathered dozens of Great Tribulation [cataclysmic trials ordained by heaven], and might be able to offer Eldrin Chen considerable guidance.

Thinking this, Exquisite Jiang said, "Then go swiftly and return swiftly. Do not delay."

"I understand."

Eldrin Chen gave a nod. Without further delay, he set off directly for the Glazed Sea Territory.

With his current level of cultivation, his flight speed was far beyond what it had been in the past. In former days, the journey from the Returning Abyss Sea to the Glazed Sea Territory would have taken the better part of a year.

This time, however, he traversed the Boundless Sea Region and arrived within the Glazed Sea Territory after a flight of merely three months.

Unlike his previous visit, upon arriving at the Glazed Blessed Land [a region of exceptional spiritual abundance], Eldrin Chen was granted an immediate audience with Glazed Divine Lord.

"..."

Deep within the Glazed Blessed Land, inside a resplendent Great Hall that shimmered with a Glazed [referring to the divine lord's name] radiance.

Eldrin Chen stood calmly within the Great Hall, his gaze steady as he observed the several figures before him.

Within the Great Hall at this moment, Glazed Divine Lord sat upon her Divine Lord throne, with Nyssa Qu, Sun Consort, Moon Consort, and Star Consort standing attentively at her side.

The Glazed Divine Lord cast a glance at Eldrin Chen and gave a slight nod. "I have been waiting for you for some time," she said.

"Had you delayed any longer, I would have summoned you myself."

Eldrin Chen's eyes flickered slightly. "Does the Divine Lord mean there is an urgent matter requiring my presence?" he inquired.

"Indeed." Clad in a seven-colored Glazed gown, the Glazed Divine Lord stepped forward from within the Great Hall, her expression serene as she spoke calmly. "The Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic cosmic cycle of destruction and renewal] approaches. It is time for my Glazed Blessed Land to seal its gates and evade the calamity."

"Seal the gates and evade the calamity?"

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen's eyes widened slightly in surprise. He had long heard of Blessed Land [a realm of profound spiritual energy and natural harmony] secluding themselves to avoid tribulation, but he did not understand precisely how it was accomplished.

Understanding his confusion, the Glazed Divine Lord offered a faint smile. "Very well. You will need to know this sooner or later."

"Then let this day serve to inform you of the method of sealing the mountain to avoid calamity, as well as some key aspects of the Great Tribulation."

With these words, she began to explain the method of mountain-sealing and tribulation-avoidance to Eldrin Chen.

As she explained in her gentle, flowing manner, Eldrin Chen quickly understood why an Earth Immortal Blessed Land [a sanctuary realm created and sustained by an Earth Immortal] was capable of sheltering its disciples and allowing them to survive the Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic, world-altering calamity that occurs at fixed cosmic intervals].

The reason an Earth Immortal Blessed Land could remain outside the tribulation's grasp was that when the Great Tribulation descended, the presiding Earth Immortal Patriarch [a cultivator who has ascended to the Earth Immortal realm] could withdraw the entire Earth Immortal Blessed Land and all its inhabitants into his or her Earth Immortal World [the personal inner world or pocket dimension of an Earth Immortal]. This Earth Immortal World could then be concealed within the void of space.

Thus hidden between heaven and earth, the Earth Immortal World's location could only be divined by Celestial Immortal Great Power [cultivators of the Celestial Immortal realm, a tier above Earth Immortal] or a select few Earth Immortal Patriarch exceptionally skilled in the art of celestial calculation.

Once the Great Tribulation commenced, the Celestial Mechanism [the natural order and predictable patterns of fate and the cosmos] would become utterly obscured and chaotic. Even Celestial Immortal Great Power would be unable to pinpoint the location of the hidden Earth Immortal World, allowing its occupants to pass through the Great Tribulation unscathed.

Glazed Divine Lord's method for evading the calamity was precisely this. She intended to take the entire Glazed Blessed Land [her personal blessed land realm], along with the several hundred immortal spirits of the Immortal Clam Clan and its countless billions of clam descendants, and hide them all within the void to escape this coming Tribulation [a great calamity or trial].

"Concealed within the void... so this is the method of sealing the mountain to avoid calamity," Eldrin Chen murmured to himself, a look of comprehension and awe dawning on his face. This content originates from audio - novel . com. Please respect copyright.

He sighed softly, a wave of poignant reflection washing over him. "With an Earth Immortal Patriarch watching over them, ensuring the sect's Immortal [beings who have achieved immortality through cultivation] do not enter the tribulation, they can live for millions of years without disaster or hardship," he remarked with feeling. "Compared to the majority of Immortal struggling between heaven and earth, their lot is vastly superior."

Hearing this, Glazed Divine Lord shook her head. "While a Blessed Land can indeed shelter Immortal, it is not as simple as you imagine."

"In the mortal realm you ascended from, within the bounds of a single Great Thousand World [a major world in the cosmic hierarchy, larger than a Middle Thousand World], an Immortal could typically reside for no more than a thousand years," she explained. "Any longer would severely drain the Great Thousand World's vital essence [its foundational life force and spiritual energy], causing it great harm."

"The Earth Immortal World [a personal realm created and sustained by an Earth Immortal] we Earth Immortals [cultivators who have ascended to the realm of world-creating immortals] forge has, in truth, a finite capacity to sustain fellow Immortals [beings who have achieved immortality through cultivation]."

"A finite capacity?"

Eldrin Chen was momentarily taken aback, then a look of understanding dawned on his face after a brief pause. "Indeed," he said thoughtfully, "an Earth Immortal World must also have its limits."

"Correct." Glazed Divine Lord [a title for a powerful immortal lord] nodded calmly and continued, "Generally speaking, the world opened by an Early-stage Earth Immortal [an Earth Immortal in the initial phase of their power] can sustain anywhere from twenty or thirty Immortals to nearly a hundred, depending on the size and stability of the world they forged."

"As a rule, a Threefold Heaven [a foundational world of threefold stability] can sustain thirty Immortals. A Sixfold Heaven [a world of sixfold stability] can sustain sixty. A Ninefold Heaven [a world of ninefold, near-perfect stability] seed, one with the potential for the Great Encompassing [the ultimate, all-encompassing realm], can sustain close to a hundred."

"As for one like myself, a Ninth Level Earth Immortal [an Earth Immortal at the pinnacle of the ninth level], my world can sustain several hundred Immortals. Those Earth Immortals who only managed to open a mere two or three Threefold Heaven worlds would be hard-pressed to sustain even thirty."

"I see."

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen finally understood why the Lingering Sun Blessed Land [a sacred realm of cultivation], despite having a heritage spanning millions of years, housed only seventy-six Immortals.

Consider this: if the Lingering Sun Blessed Land produced just one Immortal every ten thousand years since its founding, it should logically have nurtured several hundred by now.

Yet they had only seventy-six. The reason was not hard to deduce. It was most likely because the Lingering Sun Patriarch [the founding ancestor of the Lingering Sun lineage] could only shelter twenty or thirty Immortals within his world. The rest, when the Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic heavenly calamity] descended, would have been forced to leave the mountain sanctuary and face the cataclysm on their own.

From this, it becomes clear that the slots for gaining sanctuary within the Earth Immortal World [a legendary realm of profound cultivation and refuge] must be exceedingly precious.

Noting the expression on Eldrin Chen's face, Glazed Divine Lord immediately shook his head and said, "In truth, gaining the sanctuary of the Earth Immortal World is not necessarily a wholly beneficial affair."

"What does the Divine Lord [a title for a powerful immortal being] mean…"

Eldrin Chen paused briefly, already grasping the Glazed Divine Lord's implication, and nodded in agreement. "Indeed. While one may preserve their life by avoiding the Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic cosmic upheaval], they would also forfeit the Opportunity and Fortune [the profound chances and destiny-altering luck inherent within such events] needed to achieve the ultimate Dao."

"Precisely."

The Glazed Divine Lord nodded, his tone calm and detached. "The Great Tribulation is rife with significant Opportunity and Fortune. If one possesses exceptional skill and a measure of favorable destiny, they might soar to the heavens in a single bound."

"Great Tribulation Opportunity and Fortune?"

Eldrin Chen's eyes flickered with interest. "May I ask, Senior, what exactly constitutes this 'Great Tribulation Opportunity and Fortune'?"

The Glazed Divine Lord did not answer immediately. Instead, he posed a question in return: "Do you know why these cosmic Great Tribulation arise in the first place?"

Eldrin Chen pondered for a moment before replying decisively, "The Immortal [a being who has achieved immortality] pursues Longevity [eternal life] without end, voraciously consuming the essence of the Sun and Moon [the celestial bodies, representing the finest energies of heaven and earth] and plundering all the world's rare treasures, yet offers nothing in return to the heavens and the earth."
