Chapter 1256 : Dao Gold of Fortune

"I owe Senior a debt of gratitude. This is the least I could do."

Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod before turning his gaze toward Sun Ji (Person Name) and the other 2.

After so many years apart, the 3 elders of Glazed Paradise had made significant progress in their cultivation.

Among the 3, Sun Ji had weathered 4 great tribulations and, with the support of Glazed Paradise, had achieved significant advancement in cultivating the power of the Great Sun Rule.

Yue Ji's cultivation had also advanced significantly, now standing just half a step away from the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm.

Back in the day, Star Princess had obtained the supreme-grade Star Source gifted by Eldrin (Person Name). Now, her cultivation had advanced yet another step, breaking through to the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm.

At this thought, Eldrin retrieved 2 green lotus seeds from his sleeve and spoke, "These are items I obtained by chance. Bringing them here this time might prove useful to the 3 of you."

"Oh."

Riyiji and her 2 companions couldn't help but show astonishment upon seeing these 2 lotus seeds.

With their discerning eyes, the 3 women could naturally perceive the wondrous effects of these lotus seeds, and a glimmer of desire surfaced in their expressions.

Riyi was in a relatively good position. She had already mastered the Great Sun Principle and cultivated the Primordial Chaos True Form known as the Great Sun Divine Body. All that remained was to transcend the Earth Immortal Tribulation to break through to the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm. Thus, this object held little practical use for her anymore.

However, Star Princess and Moon Princess both revealed expressions of ecstatic joy.

Between the 2, Star Princess had already mastered the Laws of Stars, yet her Astral Divine Body had not reached the Heaven-Opening Realm. This object would be of great use to her.

Both Princess Yue’s Moon God Laws and her Xi Yue Divine Body were only half a step away from reaching the Heaven-Opening Realm. This treasure was precisely what she urgently needed, which was why both women were deeply tempted.

Realizing the preciousness of the lotus seed, Yue Ji and Xing Ji instinctively turned their gazes toward Glazed Divine Lord. Though they possessed considerable wealth, such an extraordinary treasure was beyond their means to acquire.

"You 2 girls."

Seeing the expressions on the 2 women's faces, the Glazed Divine Lord couldn't help but shake her head with a wry smile.

She gazed at Eldrin, then spoke softly, "This artifact is truly extraordinary. Yet I cannot accept it without offering something in return. Name any treasure you desire."

"The treasure I desire..."

Eldrin pondered silently for a moment. What he currently desired most was naturally to unlock his Heavenly Spiritual Root.

However, a spiritual root of this grade is simply beyond measure in value, far surpassing what 2 lotus seeds could ever compare to.

If he asked for too little, he would suffer a loss; if he demanded too much, he would appear ungrateful.

After pondering for a moment, he tentatively suggested, "If you are inclined, Esteemed Senior, you may bestow any treasures as you see fit."

"You little rascal."

The Glazed Divine Sovereign couldn't help but shake her head with a wry smile. As a Ninth Heaven Divine Sovereign, she would naturally never be stingy when making a move.

She cast a glance at Eldrin, then said thoughtfully, "Given your current cultivation level, ordinary treasures are likely of little use to you now."

"Then I shall bestow this upon you."

As her words faded, she flicked her sleeve, and a golden light descended onto Eldrin's hand.

But as the treasure manifested, it transformed into a pure golden ingot. This ingot weighed a mere 1 qian, appearing no larger than a grain of rice.

Yet within it lay a boundless power of providence, as if forged from the very essence of a realm's grand destiny.

"Could this be..."

Gazing at the treasure in his hand, Eldrin had a few speculations and couldn't help but speak with some hesitation.

Numinous Sovereign Liuli nodded slightly before speaking, "This is the Destiny Dao Gold, forged from the condensed fortune of my Liuli Blessed Land."

"Indeed, it is this very object."

Eldrin's heart trembled with an irrepressible surge of ecstasy.

Long before attaining immortality, Eldrin had heard of the legendary Luck Dao Gold—a supreme treasure forged from the convergence of boundless providence.

An Immortal at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Ascension, if able to refine even a single qian of Fate-Forging Gold, would gain boundless fortune’s blessing. The likelihood of comprehending a Law Dao-Fruit would greatly increase, while the possibility of achieving a World-Creating Dao-Fruit would rise by at least 30 to 40 percent.

If there were indeed 1 or 2 strands of Fortune Dao Gold, it would be of great benefit even to an Earth Immortal of the ninth level like the Glazed Divine Lord—enough to increase her chances of comprehending a Dao Principle by 30 percent.

If 1 possesses a sufficient amount of Fortune Dao Gold, even a Celestial Immortal powerhouse would reap immense benefits from it—such is the rarity and value of this treasure.

Seeing the expression on Eldrin’s face, the Glazed Divine Monarch smiled faintly and said, “There is only 1-tenth of a tael of this Fortune Dao Gold, but it should suffice for someone at your realm.”

"In exchange for 2 of your Green Lotuses, you won't be at a disadvantage."

"Not at all, not at all." Eldrin hastily took the Fortune Dao Gold, saying with delight, "By bestowing this treasure upon me, Senior, it is I who has gained the greater advantage."

Glazed Divinity Sovereign gave a slight nod, then cast a glance at Seraphina Qu (Person Name) before speaking calmly, "Seraphina Qu (Person Name)’s 7 Annihilations Spirit-Severing Sword (Magic Treasure) has yet to be fully forged. It is not yet time for it to undergo tribulation and emerge into the world."

"This time I shall keep her within the Glazed Paradise until the great calamity subsides. Once we gather all the spiritual treasures required for the 7 Severities Soul-Slaying Sword, I shall assist her in breaking through to the Earth Immortal realm."

Eldrin exchanged a glance with Seraphina Qu upon hearing this, then sighed deeply. "If the Divine Sovereign is willing to offer Seraphina Qu protection, this junior is of course profoundly grateful."

"This matter shall trouble the Divine Sovereign."

"Hmm."

Glazed Divinity Sovereign gave a slight nod. Rising to her full height, she ascended skyward with Seraphina Qu (Person Name) in tow.

High in the vast firmament, a celestial scar slowly tore open, spilling boundless 7-colored radiance that bathed heaven and earth, enveloping the majestic Glazed Paradise in its ethereal embrace.

In an instant, the entire Glazed Paradise rose into the air and soared into the heavenly rift.

As the Blessed Land Stele was withdrawn, only immortal mists lingered between heaven and earth, as if the Glazed Blessed Land of old had vanished without a trace.

"We bid farewell to the Ancestor!"

As the Glazed Divine Lord was about to vanish, Eldrin and the 3 celestial maidens bowed slightly in farewell.

The Glazed Immortal Lord cast 1 last glance at the group before sighing deeply. "The great calamity approaches. I shall seal our mountain to evade this tribulation."

"Since you have chosen to enter this tribulation, remember to act with utmost caution. Should you meet your end, with your cultivation shattered and Dao extinguished, it would be but proof of your inadequacy. This Sovereign shall not intervene in your calamity."

The 3 Elders of the Sun, Moon, and Stars bowed slightly upon hearing this and said, "We thank the Patriarch for the reminder. We, the juniors, shall take it to heart."

"Go now. May you all attain the realm of Earth Immortals by the time I emerge from seclusion!"

With those words, Lord Liuli and Seraphina Qu (Person Name) stepped into the boundless void, vanishing completely without a trace, leaving only a faint aura of primordial creation lingering over the Liuli Sea.

Only when he could no longer sense the Earth Immortal Realm’s presence did Eldrin let out a soft sigh of relief. Turning to the 3 celestial maidens beside him, he asked, “The great calamity approaches. What are your thoughts on how we should face this tribulation?”

Upon hearing this, both Moon Princess and Star Princess slightly furrowed their brows, instinctively turning their gaze toward Sun Princess.

That day, as the Grand Elder of Glazed Paradise, Immortal Ji was merely a 4-Tribulation cultivator, yet her strength and methods rivaled even those of 6-Tribulation immortals, making her the backbone of the 3 women.

Chapter 1: The Awakening In the depths of the 9 Serenities Mountain Range, a youth clothed in tattered blue robes sat cross-legged upon a moss-covered boulder. His name was Lin Xuan, once the most promising young master of the Lin Clan, now a discarded pawn after his spiritual roots were severed. "3 years..." Lin Xuan murmured, his fingers tracing the cracks on the jade pendant hanging from his chest—the only relic left by his mother. "3 years since my fall from grace, but the Heavenly Path shall not deny me forever!" Suddenly, the jade pendant glowed with an ethereal light, projecting ancient characters into the air: "The Heavenly Devouring Art—to consume the heavens and earth, to refine all creation." Lin Xuan's eyes widened. This was no ordinary cultivation technique but a legendary demonic scripture lost for millennia! According to the text, the first layer required consuming 10,000 spirit stones worth of energy. "Impossible for my current state," he chuckled wryly. Yet as he read on, his expression shifted. The scripture described a method to directly absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth, bypassing the need for functional spiritual roots. He immediately assumed the meditation posture, following the esoteric instructions. Surrounding spiritual energy began swirling toward him like moths drawn to flame. The process was excruciating—as if countless needles were piercing his meridians—but he endured. After 7 days and nights, a thunderous roar erupted from his dantian. The shattered spiritual roots within his body had miraculously reformed, now gleaming with 9 mysterious golden patterns. [System: Host has successfully cultivated the first layer of Heavenly Devouring Art. Strength elevated to early Foundation Establishment stage.] Lin Xuan rose, his tattered robes billowing despite the absence of wind. His gaze swept across the mist-shrouded peaks as he declared to the winds: "The Lin Clan who discarded me, the Zhou Family who humiliated me—I shall return." Deep within the mountains, an ancient existence slowly opened its eyes, murmuring to itself, "After 10 1000 years... the successor of the Devouring Heaven Sovereign has finally appeared."
