Chapter 1250 Sacrificing and Refining the Immortal Treasure

At present, Eldrin's strength was truly comparable to that of an early-stage Earth Immortal. The only aspect in which he fell short of an Earth Immortal Patriarch was his insufficient magical power.

His immortal essence was woven from the 5 supreme laws, making it exceptionally profound and pure even among peers of the same realm.

If the Ren Water Blue Lotus Platform were to advance to the rank of a supreme immortal treasure, even if it couldn't compare to an Earth Immortal Patriarch, his immortal essence would likely reach about half the level of an Earth Immortal Patriarch's.

By that time, even if his spiritual power couldn't rival the profound reserves of an Earth Immortal Patriarch, he would at least avoid being beaten into a fleeing rout after merely a few dozen exchanges due to exhausted energy.

At this thought, Eldrin gazed at the remaining lotus seeds. These Karma Azure Lotus Seeds contained the power of cosmic laws, capable of assisting immortals in cultivating the Dao Fruit of World Creation.

The primordial power it contains is profoundly mysterious, capable of nourishing an immortal's physical form and laws of nature, while also greatly aiding in the condensation of the Dao Fruit.

After consuming this Green Lotus Seed, a Perfected Immortal at the Great Perfection stage could increase their chances of breaking through to the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm by approximately 10 percent. Although this probability might seem merely 1-tenth, it still qualifies as an astonishingly rare treasure.

Before him lay a total of 9 lotus seeds, each 1 a supreme treasure beyond compare. Eldrin carefully contemplated their potential uses.

Seeing this, Qing Ji understood his thoughts and could not help but saying, "The value of this object is beyond measure. How do you intend to deal with them?"

Eldrin (Person Name) pondered for a moment before speaking, "While treasures that assist in breaking through to the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm hold little value for those of us with Great Luo foundations, they are considered supreme treasures for cultivators at the Ninth Heaven of Ascendant Immortality."

"Therefore, I intend to reserve 1 of these for Lila (Person Name) and 1 for Yan Zi Ji (Person Name), while distributing the remainder among our closest confidants."

"Oh."

Qing Ji’s eyes flickered slightly as she couldn’t help but ask, “For whom are you preparing this?”

"1 for Daoist Tianfeng, 1 for Immortal Liuchen, and 2 for the Glazed Sanctuary," Eldrin spoke unhurriedly. "As for the remaining 3," he continued, "let us keep them for now. We shall reserve them for suitable candidates in the future."

"Very well."

Qing Ji nodded upon hearing this. The demon race and the Celestial Fiend race were about to unleash a great calamity, and by then, even the 100 Streams and Seas, as well as the Western Tian Divine Abyss Sea, would find it difficult to remain untouched.

Under such circumstances, it was best for friends like them to huddle together for warmth.

If the Celestial Wind Immortal and the others could advance further, their chances of successfully overcoming the tribulation would indeed increase by a few degrees.

At this thought, Qingji (Person Name) nodded as well and said, "Since my husband thinks this way, then let it be as you wish."

"Hmm."

Seeing that Qing Ji agreed, Eldrin (Person Name) also smiled faintly, and the matter was laid to rest there.

He withdrew his gaze and continued to observe the Jade Lotus of Creation. After ascending to the rank of a supreme immortal root, apart from bestowing several treasures, it had also shed a single seed.

This seed was a celestial seed born from the nirvana of the Serendipity Azure Jade Lotus. Its grade had surpassed the limits of a Tier-7 celestial treasure, making it a Tier-8 World-Originating Celestial Seed.

"This item..."

Eldrin (Person Name) pondered for a moment before quietly storing this Immortal Seed away.

He flew all the way to the Abyssal Return, where he found Daoist Tianfeng in secluded cultivation.

After years apart, Skywind Daoist had been tempering his physical form day and night within the Abyssal Chasm. Unbeknownst to him, his immortal body had reached its zenith—the threshold of breakthrough now shimmering just beyond the horizon.

Seeing this, Eldrin immediately asked, "How much longer until you cultivate the Primordial Chaos True Body, fellow Daoist?"

"My Primordial Chaos True Body…"

Celestial Wind Immortal pondered briefly, then shook his head after a moment: "My Hall Wind Divine Body is merely 1 step away from breaking through to the Primordial Genesis True Form realm."

"Yet advancing from the pinnacle is easier said than done. I fear without tens of thousands of years of cultivation, none would dare claim certain breakthrough."

Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "What if we include this item?"

He said, retrieving the Green Lotus Seed from his sleeve.

"This is"

Hearing this, a trace of pleasant surprise surfaced on Celestial Wind Immortal's face.

He gazed at the Green Lotus Seed, his voice trembling with fervor, "With this treasure, this old man might dare to attempt a breakthrough."

"But..."

His words halted abruptly as he snapped his gaze toward Eldrin. "Such a priceless treasure—I'm afraid I cannot meet its price at this moment."

"No matter." Eldrin smiled faintly and said, "You owe me a favor. How about repaying it by aiding me once in the future?"

Hearing this, Daoist Tianfeng fell silent.

With Eldrin's current level of power, this favor was truly not easy to repay.

After all, for him to seek my assistance, the opponent must at least be a Half-Step Earth Immortal.

Even so, with the opportunity for enlightenment right before his eyes, Daoist Tianfeng did not hesitate excessively.

After a moment of contemplation, he took the Azure Lotus Seed and said, "It seems this old man is destined to owe you a favor."

"Hahaha."

Eldrin (Person Name) also smiled faintly before speaking, "In that case, I wish you, fellow Daoist, may ascend to the heavens in 1 stride and forge a Primordial Chaos True Body."

After bidding farewell to Daoist Tianfeng, Eldrin stepped into the Return to Ruins Blessed Land and planted the Green Lotus Immortal Seed within the celestial spring at the heart of the blessed land.

At this moment, Lyra (Person Name) had also concluded her secluded cultivation. Seeing him plant the seed of the Creation Jade Lotus, she couldn't help but smile and say, "Once this seed takes root and sprouts, our family will gain another Heaven-Opening Immortal Root."

"Yes."

Eldrin nodded slightly, but offered no further words.

He glanced at Lyra and Qing Ji, then smiled. "The lotus platform has ripened. Assist me in refining the Primordial Azure Lotus Platform."

Before long, 14 immortals had gathered within the Starry Glazed Realm.

Eldrin sat upright in the artifact-forging hall, gazing at the assembled immortals as he declared, "Honored colleagues, I have summoned you here today to request your assistance in forging 2 supreme-grade celestial treasures."

As his words faded, he imparted the Confluence of 8 Desolations Treasure-Refining Flame Array to the assembly.

After perusing the secret technique, everyone's expressions shifted peculiarly, for the 6 Harmonies and 8 Wastes Flame Convergence Array was typically employed only when refining eighth-grade World-Creation Immortal Materials.

The few immortals who had participated in the battle at the Returning Abyss blessed land remained relatively composed, but the Black Tortoise Patriarch and the Misty Snow Palace Master, who had not taken part, were visibly astonished.

The Black Tortoise Patriarch couldn't help but glance at Eldrin (Person Name), immediately inquiring, "Could it be that the Alliance Leader actually possesses a Heaven-Splitting Marvel (Rare Treasure)?"

"Hmm."

Eldrin nodded, having long prepared his explanation: "During my previous journey to the Crimson Sun Blessed Land, by extraordinary fortune, I obtained an eighth-rank Immortal Artifact."

"Your Excellency, you truly have the most splendid fortune."

The Black Tortoise Patriarch took a deep breath, his expression revealing boundless envy.

Regarding the matter of the Return Abyss blessed land, Eldrin was unwilling to discuss it further. He immediately spoke up, "Refining an eighth-rank immortal treasure is no simple task. Let us first practice with a supreme-grade immortal treasure."

Seeing this, Lyra immediately retrieved the Hexahedral Cauldron of 8 Desolations.

The Hexa-Universe Octo-Wilderness Cauldron was Lyra's (Person Name) life-bound spiritual treasure. Having refined the 9 Heavens Divine Flame Jade, its grade had now ascended to the ranks of supreme immortal treasures.

At this moment, it served as the most suitable choice for a treasure-forging furnace.

Chapter 1 The biting cold wind howled across the icy plains, carrying with it the scent of eternal frost and desolation. A lone figure stood atop a towering peak, his robes whipping violently in the gale. This was Li Ming, once a promising disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect, now a fugitive hunted by the very sect that had nurtured him. "30-2 1000 spirit stones," he murmured, his voice barely a whisper yet carrying an edge of steel. "All gone, just like that." He clenched his fist, the memory of the ambush still fresh in his mind. The Eldrin (Person Name), a senior elder he had once respected, had betrayed him for the treasure he carried – the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure). A dozen or so fellow disciples had turned on him without hesitation. Over a 100 pursuit talismans now scoured the mountains, their faint spiritual signatures brushing against his heightened senses. "For thousands of years, the Azure Cloud Sect has stood as a bastion of righteousness," he scoffed inwardly. "Yet beneath that veneer lies rot and greed, countless schemes hidden behind smiling faces." 1 100 years had passed since he first entered the sect as a wide-eyed youth, full of dreams of immortality. Now, at the Foundation Establishment realm's seventh level, he found himself cornered, his spiritual energy nearly depleted. A faint shimmer in the air alerted him. He spun around, the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) materializing in his hand, its blade glowing with a faint crimson light. "Come out, Eldrin (Person Name)! I know it's you!" Li Ming's voice echoed across the peaks. From the swirling snow, a figure emerged. Eldrin (Person Name), clad in pristine white robes, looked every bit the benevolent elder. His smile, however, was cold and predatory. "Junior Brother Li, hand over the sword and the cultivation manual. I may yet spare your soul from utter destruction." Li Ming laughed, a harsh, bitter sound. "Spare me? You, who orchestrated the deaths of 20-some outer disciples to cover your tracks? You, who would sacrifice nearly a 1000 loyal followers for a taste of greater power?" Eldrin's (Person Name) eyes narrowed. "You know too much. It seems negotiation is pointless." He raised a hand, and the air crackled with gathering energy. "Today, you will perish here, your Dao extinguished forever!" The blizzard around them intensified, swirling into a maelstrom of ice and spiritual power. Li Ming gripped his sword tighter, his mind racing through countless combat techniques. He had to survive. He had to break through this tribulation. He took a deep breath, drawing upon the last dregs of his Qi. The profound mysteries of the Heavenly Cycle Art circulated within his dantian. The final battle was upon him.
