Chapter 1282 : Earth Rank Dao Origin
"Oh?"
A faint surge of delight stirred within Eldrin (Person Name). At present, his 4 Extremities Pillars had already secured 3 divine trees: the Southern Fire Phoenix Parasol, the Western Primordial Chaos Maple, and the Eastern Eternal Life Ancient Tree.
Only the final Polar Celestial Pillar remained, and this 'Great Treen of the North Sea' stood as 1 of the finest candidates for its completion.
"It seems I must devise a plan for this Great Tulu Tree of the Northern Sea."
With these thoughts in mind, Eldrin nodded and said, "If you can procure the Great Tallow Tree of the Northern Sea, I shall naturally assist you in entering Nirvana within."
With those words spoken, Eldrin said no more.
He utilized the power of Life Laws to stabilize the injuries of the assembled immortals, then began taking stock of the spoils from this battle.
After tallying their gains, the immortals gathered in the great hall, their faces inevitably lighting up with joy.
In this battle, the core forces of the Setting Sun Blessed Land were utterly decimated, and the gains reaped by the Nihility Immortal Alliance were unprecedented.
Among the myriad treasures, there were hundreds of immortal artifacts, including 9 supreme-grade immortal artifacts and 3 Heaven-Splitting immortal artifacts.
In addition, there were vast quantities of Dao Origins, formation arrays, treasure ships, elixirs, arcane technique manuals, and countless other immortal treasures and rare artifacts.
For Eldrin (Person Name) and his companions, nothing was more precious than Supreme Immortal Treasures and Heaven-Sundering Treasures.
Among all the divine treasures, the most precious were the few eighth-level Heaven-Opening artifacts: the Dao Origin of the Setting Sun, the Wheel of the Setting Sun, the Heaven-Suppressing Pagoda of the Setting Sun, and the Crimson Dragon Cauldron that Anchors the World.
Gazing upon these treasures, Riji felt a stirring in his heart, yet he refrained from making a move immediately.
She cast a glance at Eldrin, then spoke calmly, "Fellow Daoist of the Returning Abyss single-handedly confronted Patriarch Waning Sun, severely wounded him, and ultimately eliminated him. It is evident that you have contributed nearly half of the merit in this battle."
"This treasure... it would be best for Eldrin to distribute the spoils."
"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."
Eldrin did not decline. He took the Dao Origin of the Setting Sun Patriarch and grasped the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron in his hand.
After taking the 2 treasures, Eldrin spoke up: "As for the remaining artifacts, divide them amongst yourselves as you see fit."
"This..."
Gazing at the remaining treasures, Riyue Ji was momentarily stunned, a look of astonishment unconsciously crossing her face. In her view, among all the treasures, the most precious should have been the Scorching Sun Heavenly Wheel, with the Source of the Dao coming second.
With the merits Eldrin had earned in this battle, combined with Lyra and Qing Ji's contributions, it was more than sufficient for them to claim both of the most precious treasures.
Eldrin had left the Solar Eclipse Heavenly Ring to him, which was completely beyond her expectations.
After all, the Crimson Sun Heavenly Wheel was the sole mid-grade Heaven-Opening Treasure, its value surpassing even that of 2 or 3 lower-grade Heaven-Opening Treasures combined.
The Source of Dao was also extraordinary. As an Earth Immortal elder, the Source of Dao left by Setting Sun Elder far surpassed what ordinary immortals could ever hope to attain.
This Dao Origin had already surpassed the highest-grade Dao Origin, reaching the level of an Earth Tier, Lower Grade Dao Origin.
Within it lies not only the power of laws, but also a strand of primordial creation qi fused into its essence. Once refined, it is sufficient to catalyze a qualitative transformation in an immortal's foundational essence.
Without the slightest hesitation, Eldrin (Person Name) directly claimed both treasures, completely exceeding her expectations. Yet in Eldrin (Person Name)'s view, this was the most advantageous course of action.
Eldrin took the Earth-grade Dao Origin to comprehend the 5 Elements' 'Primordial Chaos of Limitless Laws' and prepare for his ascension to the 9-Calamity Immortal.
Although the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron was currently only a low-grade Heaven-Opening Treasure, it possessed the potential to continuously restore itself to the pinnacle-grade Heaven-Opening Treasure level, making its value dozens of times higher than that of the Setting Sun Heavenly Wheel.
Taking these 2 treasures, for Eldrin, was already equivalent to claiming 80 to 90 percent of the gains from this battle.
Riyuji did not comprehend this, and she could not help but feel deeply grateful toward Eldrin (Person Name). "I must thank you, Fellow Daoist, for yielding this Canyang Heavenly Wheel (Magic Treasure) to me," she said.
With that, Sun Ji took away the Twilight Heavenly Wheel.
Thus, among the several Primordial Chaos Treasures, only the Crimson Sun Heaven-Suppressing Tower remained.
Seeing this, Eldrin turned to Daoist Tianfeng and said, "Fellow Daoist, your contribution in this battle was not insignificant. This item shall be yours."
Elder Tianfeng shook his head repeatedly and spoke at once, "Fellow Daoist has avenged my annihilated clan. My heart is already deeply moved—how could I possibly accept your treasure?"
"There's no need for this."
Eldrin smiled faintly and said, "Without your Starry Cosmos Ancient Bell, the Zhou Tian Star Archipelago would have long been breached, and I would never have lived to see the chance to turn the tide of battle."
"If you do not take a single treasure, I fear I would find it difficult to rest at ease." Seeing this, Daoist Tianfeng could not help but hesitate slightly.
A moment later, he spoke, "I already possess the Starry Cosmos Ancient Bell. To acquire this Sunset Suppressing Heaven Tower as well would only invite calamity upon myself, like a man carrying a priceless treasure through bandit-infested lands."
"Might I exchange this Sunset Suppressing Heaven Pagoda for the Level 4 Heaven Pillar left by Patriarch Setting Sun?"
"Oh?"
Eldrin's eyes flickered faintly upon hearing this, and he gave an involuntary nod.
Elder Windstrider saw things with perfect clarity, understanding that no amount of treasures could compare to the importance of 1's own cultivation.
If he failed to break through to the Earth Immortal realm, possessing 2 supreme-grade immortal treasures would only pave his path to ruin.
Contemplating this, Eldrin said, "I can agree to your terms, but this Starry Void Ancient Clock holds great significance for my Cosmic Star Formation."
"Would it be acceptable to offer the Crimson Sun Heaven-Suppressing Tower in exchange?" "Agreed."
Elder Skywind did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately agreed to the proposal.
This Starry Cosmos Ancient Bell was not a life-bound immortal treasure of Daoist Tianfeng; to him, it remained nothing more than an external object.
The Tower of the Setting Sun Suppressing Heaven possessed power on par with it—both were Heaven-Splitting Treasures capable of both offense and defense. Exchanging for it would be no loss to him.
In that case, Daoist Tianfeng naturally granted Eldrin (Person Name) this favor without hesitation. "Very well, it's settled then."
In exchange for the Starry Cosmos Ancient Bell with the Crimson Sunset Heaven-Suppressing Pagoda, Eldrin revealed a thoroughly satisfied expression.
He informed Daoist Tianfeng that once the treasures of the Cankun Realm were retrieved, the 4 Extremities Pillars would be dismantled for him, then turned his gaze toward the remaining supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
The Canary Abode possessed no small number of supreme-grade immortal treasures—9 in total, to be precise. These included the 10-1000-Mile Setting Sun Pearl, the Slanting Sun Heavenly Ring, the Crimson Dragon Heaven-Piercing Halberd, the Crimson Dragon Immortal-Slaying Sword, among other such divine artifacts.
Among these supreme immortal treasures, 6 were obtained from Eldrin and the Setting Sun Daoist, while the remaining 3 were all supreme immortal treasures refined by the Setting Sun Patriarch.
Eldrin carefully made his selection, ultimately choosing 3 supreme immortal treasures: the 'Ancient Dragon-Turtle Shield', the 'Setting Sun Heavenly Wheel', and the 'Great Geng Mystical Sword'.
He retrieved the 10-1000-Mile Crimson Sun Pearl and said, "These artifacts are quite exceptional. I intend to use them to reconstruct the 4 Symbols Soul-Entrapment Array. You may divide the remainder among yourselves."
The group divided the supreme immortal treasures among themselves. Riji took the Dao Origin of the Setting Sun Taoist and remarked, "His Dao Origin subtly resonates with my Great Sun Dao."
"I intend to refine it to cultivate the Primordial Chaos True Body and condense my second Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit."
"Once this endeavor succeeds, I shall attempt the breakthrough to the Earth Immortal realm. I must then ask all of you to safeguard my cultivation."
Eldrin handed Dao Source of Canyangzi to Lyra, nodding slightly at her words. "Setting aside your breakthrough to Earth Immortal realm, this alone significantly boosts our chances of surviving the great tribulation."
"Merely being able to witness a Terrestrial Immortal's world-creation is enough to grant us immeasurable benefits. Guarding your cultivation session is only fitting."
Chapter 1 The young man sat cross-legged in the secluded cave, wisps of spiritual energy swirling around him like ethereal serpents. He had been cultivating here for 3 years, yet the bottleneck at the 7th layer of Qi Refining remained unbroken. "Only 32,000 spirit stones left," he murmured, glancing at the dwindling pile of glowing crystals. "And this 9 Revolutions Golden Dan (Pill) is my last hope." Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed from outside. "Lin Feng (Person Name)! Your sect has fallen! Surrender the Primordial Chaos Codex (Cultivation Method) and I might spare your soul!" Lin Feng's eyes snapped open, cold light flashing within them. He gripped the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure), its blade humming with restrained power. "The Verdant Cloud Sect has stood for thousands of years. You think mere demons like you can destroy it?" He rose, spiritual pressure radiating from his body. The air crackled as he unleashed the Heavenly Thunder Art (Cultivation Technique), dark clouds gathering above the mountain peak. Countless sword shadows materialized around him, each gleaming with deadly intent. "Fool!" the demon shrieked. "I've slaughtered over a 100 of your disciples! You're nothing but—" His words were cut off as Lin Feng moved, the Li Fire Sword leaving a crimson arc in the air. The clash of energies sent shockwaves through the valley, toppling ancient trees that had stood for millennia. When the dust settled, Lin Feng stood panting, his robes torn but his spirit unbroken. The demon lay defeated, its dark energy dissipating like morning mist. "1 100 years," Lin Feng whispered, looking toward the eastern horizon. "Just 1 100 years until the Heavenly Tribulation descends." He tightened his grip on the sword. "And I'll be ready."
