Chapter 1343 : The Final Exchange of Celestial Treasures

At this stage, quite a few treasures remained. However, among the Ninth Tribulation Immortal [an immortal who has survived nine heavenly tribulations], Sky Abyss Daoist had already exchanged for two stalks of World-Opening Spiritual Root [a spiritual root of immense power, said to possess the potential to shape worlds], and now possessed no Merit Points [a metaphysical "currency" representing accumulated virtuous deeds and karma] left.

Only Patriarch of the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect and Ancient Ruins Yin Lord still retained some of their Merit Points.

They exchanged the remaining five World-Opening Immortal Treasure [an immortal-grade treasure of legendary power, capable of sundering chaos and establishing order], along with some Eighth Rank Immortal Pill [a pill of the eighth rank, possessing miraculous effects for immortals] and other items, for some special Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [treasures of the highest immortal grade, often possessing unique and profound properties], thereby exhausting their remaining Merit Points.

Of the remaining two Low Grade World Creation Treasure [a treasure capable of aiding in the creation or stabilization of a minor world], the Supreme Frost Immortal Skirt was a woman's robe, and the Supreme Profound Frost Sword was most suited for those with an Ice Spiritual Root [an innate spiritual affinity for the element of ice]. Consequently, neither of the two men desired them.

Seeing that a few Merit Points still remained, Eldrin Chen directly exchanged for both treasures, intending to gift them to Lila and Yvonne the Violet Consort.

After acquiring the Heaven-Opening Rare Treasure [an exceedingly rare treasure rumored to possess the power to cleave the heavens], Eldrin Chen glanced at the others and noticed they had already claimed nearly all of the available Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure.

Among these various rare treasures, the most sought-after were naturally the Dao Source [a condensed source of primordial Dao essence, invaluable for profound enlightenment] and the Fourth Grade Heaven's Pillar [a pillar of the fourth grade, a foundational treasure for stabilizing celestial realms].

There were over a dozen Supreme Grade Dao Source [a Dao Source of the supreme grade, the pinnacle of such treasures]. Luna, the Consort, Stella, Kael Chen, Qiyuan Chen, and even Six Stars Immortal each obtained one, yet some still remained.

Seeing that too many Supreme Grade Dao Source were left, Eldrin Chen exchanged for one each for Yvonne the Violet Consort and Lila.

There were dozens of Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure and Immortal Treasure and Rare Object [a collective term for immortal-grade treasures and rare objects], along with several dozen High Grade Acquired Spiritual Root [a high-grade spiritual root acquired through later cultivation or fortune] and Four Extremities Heaven Pillars [magical treasures representing the four pillars that support the heavens]. Many originated from Thousand Dragons Lake, while others were part of the Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound and accumulated foundational strength of a lineage] left behind by the former Verdant Stream Ancient Sect.

As for these treasures, Stella [the Immortal Maiden], Luna, the Consort, Kael Chen, Qiyuan Chen [Chen Qiyuan, the Eastern Sovereign], and others each exchanged for several Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [the highest grade of immortal artifacts] and Immortal Crystals [purified, high-density Spirit Stones], intending to melt them down to advance their Lifebound Immortal Treasure [an immortal artifact bound to one's life and cultivation].

Meanwhile, Six Stars Immortal directly exchanged for four stalks of High Grade Acquired Spiritual Root [a high-quality spiritual root obtained through cultivation or fortune], preparing to use them when he breaks through to the Earth Immortal [a powerful immortal realm tied to the earth's spiritual veins] realm in the future.

Because the number of treasures at the Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [the highest grade of immortal artifacts] level was truly immense, apart from the few Half-Step Earth Immortal [cultivators on the verge of becoming Earth Immortals], many others also received a share of these treasures.

Yvonne the Violet Consort, Lila, Sylas Ye, Alistair Lu, Ysander, Master of the Dao Palace, Lin Tianqi [Lin Tianqi, the Sword Saint], and other combatants at the Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality [the pinnacle of the Immortal Ascension Realm] almost all exchanged for one Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [the highest grade of immortal artifacts] each.

Veteran True Immortal [a foundational immortal realm] cultivators like Void-Refining Immortal [the Void-Refining Immortal] and Sky Feather Immortal, whose cultivation had already reached the Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality [the pinnacle of the Immortal Ascension Realm], amassed an immense amount of Merit Points [a metaphysical currency representing virtuous deeds and contributions] in this battle. Not only did they each obtain a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [the highest grade of immortal artifacts], but they also exchanged for several stalks of high-grade Fourth Grade Heaven's Pillar [a fourth-grade spiritual herb known as Heaven's Pillar].

As for ordinary Immortal Treasures [immortal artifacts] below the Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [the highest grade of immortal artifacts] level, they were truly beyond counting. Immortal Treasures [immortal artifacts] piled up like mountains; Spiritual Object [spiritual objects and materials] could fill the seas.

These treasures were so numerous that even such descriptions felt insufficient.

In this battle, over five hundred Immortal [immortals] from Thousand Dragons Lake perished. Setting aside other Immortal Treasures [immortal artifacts] and Immortal Treasure [immortal artifacts], the Dao Source [the condensed essence of a cultivator's Dao path] left behind alone numbered more than five hundred.

Among the surviving Immortal [immortals] of the Immortal Alliance, the majority now have cultivation bases at the Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm [the late stage of the Immortal Ascension Realm]. Ordinary Middle Grade Source of the Dao [a mid-grade condensed essence of the Dao] are of little use to them anymore.

They have refined too many Dao Source [the condensed essence of a cultivator's Dao path]. For many, their foundational accumulation is already sufficient; what they need now is more time for digestion and comprehension. Ordinary Dao Source [the condensed essence of a cultivator's Dao path] hold diminishing utility for them.

Thus, Eldrin Chen took charge, leaving one hundred high-quality Dao Source [a primordial essence that can enhance a cultivator's foundational Dao] for the assembled Immortals. He then entrusted another one hundred Dao Source and a portion of the Immortal Treasures [artifacts of immense power used by Immortals] to the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect, instructing them to be kept for the future reconstruction of the Verdant Stream Abode of Bliss.

Subsequently, the remaining three hundred Dao Source were distributed among the Nascent Soul Dao Lord [powerful cultivators who have formed their Nascent Soul and comprehended a Dao] within the Immortal Alliance who had accrued sufficient Merit Points [points earned through contributions and achievements].

With this batch of Dao Source, the Pure Yang Dao Lord [Dao Lords who have refined their energy to the Pure Yang level] within the Immortal Alliance would undoubtedly see a significant augmentation of their Deep-Seated Foundation [the fundamental, unshakable basis of a cultivator's power and potential].

It has been ten thousand years since the outbreak of the Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic era of conflict and heavenly retribution]. The Nascent Soul Dao Lord within the Immortal Alliance have endured the crucible of war throughout this Great Tribulation; those who survived are the elite among their peers.

These Nascent Soul Dao Lord are paragons of talent and ingenuity, standing as the foremost of their realm.

Once they refine these Dao Source, coupled with the vast quantities of Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill [pills that aid in Immortal realm cultivation, marked with cloud-like patterns] and Incense Fire Celestial Silver [a rare, sacred metal refined from celestial incense ashes] seized by the Immortal Alliance...

Eldrin Chen estimated that, barring unforeseen circumstances, within the next thirty thousand years, the Immortal Alliance would witness the ascension of at least two to three hundred new Immortal [beings who have transcended mortality and attained immortality].

After the distribution of the Immortal Treasure and Rare Object was complete, Eldrin Chen gazed upon the cheering assembly of Immortal, and a faint smile touched his heart.

Now that the Abyssal Immortal Alliance had weathered this calamity, a mere one hundred thousand years of consolidation would suffice. The Chen Immortal Clan and the Abyssal Immortal Alliance would undoubtedly establish a dominion that shook the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, rising to become one of the top one hundred powerful Blessed Land [realms of concentrated spiritual energy and fortune] within the Three Thousand Seas Region.

Consider this: across the vast expanse of the Three Thousand Seas Region within the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, the number of Earth Immortal Progenitor [the founding ancestors of Earth Immortal Blessed Lands] exceeds ten thousand, and the count of Earth Immortal Blessed Land [realms ruled by Earth Immortals] itself surpasses three thousand.

Among the many Earth Immortal Blessed Land [a realm of profound spiritual energy and natural laws, cultivated and governed by Earth Immortals], the top-tier Blessed Land [a realm of profound spiritual energy and natural laws, cultivated and governed by powerful beings], such as the Western Abyss Dragon Palace, which ranks among the Ten Great Abodes of Bliss of the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea [the ten most powerful and spiritually rich realms within the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea region], possesses over two hundred Earth Immortal True Dragon [True Dragons who have ascended to the Earth Immortal Realm].

Even setting aside the Western Abyss Dragon Palace, any Blessed Land [a realm of profound spiritual energy and natural laws, cultivated and governed by powerful beings] ranked within the top one hundred of the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea [a vast and perilous sea region suffused with divine and abyssal energies] typically houses more than ten Earth Immortal Progenitor [a cultivator who has reached the Earth Immortal Realm and founded a lineage], and is guarded by at least one Late Stage Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has reached the pinnacle of power within the Earth Immortal Realm].

Yet, the current Eldrin Chen possesses the confidence that, given merely another one hundred thousand years, the Abyssal Abode of Bliss [the Blessed Land founded and ruled by Eldrin Chen] will undoubtedly secure its place among the hundred greatest Blessed Land [a realm of profound spiritual energy and natural laws, cultivated and governed by powerful beings] of the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea [a vast and perilous sea region suffused with divine and abyssal energies].

For the spoils of this war were immense. By single-handedly devouring the formidable Blessed Land [a realm of profound spiritual energy and natural laws, cultivated and governed by powerful beings] that was Thousand Dragons Lake, the Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound and enduring spiritual, resource, and legacy base of a force or realm] of the Abyssal Sea Region [the territory and sea region under the dominion of Eldrin Chen and his allies] has swelled by no less than several tens of times.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen surveyed the assembly and spoke, "Now that the spoils have been divided, it is time to swiftly digest our gains. Let us all retreat into secluded cultivation for now."

Upon hearing his words, the gathered Immortals nodded in silent agreement. Immerse yourself in the complete world at (audio-novel.com).

However, the Patriarch of the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect pondered for a moment before inquiring, "What of the situation at the Flowing Fire Star Palace? Should we intervene?"

"Not yet,"

Eldrin Chen shook his head, his expression grave. "That Patriarch of the Celestial Prison Clan possesses combat power at the half-step Heaven Immortal Realm [a transcendent realm above the Earth Immortal, bordering on true celestial immortality]. We are utterly incapable of withstanding him."

"If we rashly involve ourselves and he abandons the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace [the ruler of the Flowing Fire Star Palace] to turn his attention upon us, I fear we would not survive even a single exchange."

Upon hearing these words, the assembled immortals felt their hearts grow heavy, understanding the truth in Eldrin Chen's reasoning.

Within the realm of Earth Immortal [a powerful cultivator who has transcended mortality and merged with the earth's spiritual veins], the disparity in power often widens dramatically with each increase in cultivation. An ordinary First Layer Earth Immortal could even be challenged by a Seven Tribulations Immortal [an immortal who has survived seven heavenly tribulations].

However, beings at the Earth Immortal Nine Layers [the pinnacle of the Earth Immortal realm] or even the Half-Step Celestial Immortal [one who has taken half a step into the Celestial Immortal realm] are entities whose power cannot be matched by mere numbers.

As far as Eldrin Chen knew, any being capable of cultivating to the Seventh Level Earth Immortal must have, at minimum, opened the Fivefold Heaven [a foundational cultivation achievement involving the opening of five heavenly apertures within the body] and the Sixfold Heavens [the opening of six heavenly apertures]. Those who could break through to Earth Immortal Nine Layers almost universally started from the foundation of the Sixfold Heavens.

Many who reached Earth Immortal Nine Layers had opened the Seventh Heaven [the seventh and profoundly rare heavenly aperture] or beyond.

Such individuals, having opened the Seventh Heaven, were most likely former Eight-Calamity Immortal [immortals who survived eight heavenly calamities] and had once been top-tier Heaven's Chosen [prodigies favored by destiny]. Their combat prowess was naturally earth-shattering, making it exceedingly difficult for others to challenge them across cultivation tiers.

By Eldrin Chen's estimation, even a cultivator with Great Luo Potential [the potential to reach the Great Luo, the highest immortal realm] who had opened the Ninefold Heavens [the legendary nine heavenly apertures] would need to cultivate to the Late Stage Earth Immortal to have a chance of defeating an Earth Immortal Nine Layers opponent who had opened the Seventh Heaven.

As for figures like the Patriarch of the Celestial Prison Clan and the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace, whose power stood at the Half-Step Celestial Immortal threshold, their battle strength could truly be described as world-shaking.

Between the two, the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace was slightly weaker, having opened the Seventh Heaven. Yet, the possibility of him being defeated by someone from a lower cultivation tier was nearly nonexistent.

Even if Sky Abyss Daoist were to open the Ninefold Heavens and his cultivation reach the Earth Immortal Nine Layers realm, facing the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace would likely grant him only the power to defend himself. Without fleeing, the path before him would be one of certain defeat and demise. Original English translation available at audio-novel . com.
