Chapter 1372 : Ascension of the Starry Glazed Realm

During the Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic event of heavenly retribution and profound change], Eldrin Chen seized several portions of Star Essence [a concentrated spiritual substance embodying the power of the stars] and fused them into the Starry Glazed Realm [a mystical realm formation]. This infusion elevated the Starry Glazed Realm to the level of a Peerless [the highest grade of mystical treasure] secret realm.

After ascending to a Peerless secret realm, the Starry Glazed Realm became capable of sustaining the cultivation of one hundred Immortal [beings who have transcended mortality and achieved immortality]. However, given the current number of Immortal in the Abyssal Sea Region [a vast and profound oceanic territory], this capacity was still insufficient.

Furthermore, as many cultivators broke through to the Earth Immortal [an immortal realm deeply connected to the power of the earth], their consumption of the Sun, Moon, and Stars Three Lights [the primordial spiritual essences of the sun, moon, and stars] increased dramatically. Consequently, the current Starry Glazed Realm had long since become inadequate for their needs.

Wishing to avoid exposing the Abyssal Abode of Bliss [a supreme hidden paradise realm], the Immortal of the Immortal Alliance [a coalition of immortal powers] had been forced to disperse in recent years. Many had relocated to cultivate within the Setting Sun Blessed Land [a blessed land associated with the setting sun].

Yet this was merely a temporary expedient. If the Abyssal Abode of Bliss remained concealed, the Abyssal Sea Region would inevitably face a shortage of resources. When that time came, the Chen Immortal Clan [the immortal clan founded by the Chen family] might have no choice but to relocate entirely.

Under these circumstances, advancing the Starry Glazed Realm had become a matter of utmost urgency.

Contemplating this, Eldrin Chen spoke, "The three of you are willing to offer three Eighth Rank Divine Pearl [divine pearls of the eighth rank, a supreme grade of spiritual treasure] in exchange for this Supreme Grade Dao Source [the primordial source of a supreme-grade Dao, an object of immense metaphysical value]. The value offered far exceeds the price."

"For the difference in value, what do you desire in return?" Solara [the Solar Consort], however, seemed prepared. She glanced at Stella [the Star Consort] and Luna, the Consort [the Lunar Consort] and said, "I wish to request that you refine two External Elixir [an elixir that can be consumed externally to aid cultivation or achieve specific effects] for them."

"I see."

Eldrin Chen nodded, feeling a slight sense of relief. This novel is serialized on AUDIO-NOVEL.COM. Visit for updates.

Stella and Luna, the Consort possessed talents not far inferior to Solara's, though they were considerably younger in years. According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, even with the support of the Glazed Blessed Land, the two maidens would likely reach their limit at opening a Sixfold Heavens [a foundational cultivation realm comprising six distinct heavenly layers].

Yet, with an additional External Elixir [a potent, externally refined cultivation pill] refined by Eldrin Chen, they could open one more layer of heaven, forging a foundation for the Seventh Heaven [a foundational cultivation realm comprising seven distinct heavenly layers].

And an Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] with a Seventh Heaven foundation would have an almost ironclad certainty of breaking through to Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal realm], and even a one-in-ten chance of advancing to the Heaven Immortal [a higher tier of immortal existence] realm.

Although this chance was merely one in ten, it still represented a sliver of hope, something utterly incomparable to the prospects of a Sixfold Heavens foundation.

One must understand that among those who manage to open a Sixfold Heavens, fewer than one in a hundred ever succeed in cultivating the Great Unity Dao Fruit [the ultimate fruit of one's cultivation path, representing profound enlightenment and power]. As for those who set foot in the Heaven Immortal Realm, they are rarer than one in ten thousand.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen spoke, "Given our friendship, refining External Elixir is certainly possible."

"However, I currently lack suitable Inner Core [the condensed spiritual core of a demonic beast or powerful entity] or precious pearls." Upon hearing this, Solara smiled faintly and said, "Our Immortal Clam Race [a race of immortal, pearl-producing clams] can produce pearls. Over tens of millions of years, we have accumulated no small number of them."

Eldrin Chen nodded slightly in understanding. The materials required for refining an External Elixir were precisely the Inner Core of Demonic Tribe [tribes or races of demonic beings] members or special pearls.

The Vast Sea Divine Pearl [a divine pearl embodying the essence of the vast sea], Sun God Pearl [a divine pearl embodying solar essence], Moon God Pearl [a divine pearl embodying lunar essence], Star Pearl [a divine pearl embodying stellar essence], and other treasures produced by the Immortal Clam Race were all optimal choices for crafting External Elixir.

With this in mind, Eldrin Chen considered establishing a long-term trade arrangement with the Immortal Clam Race. However, recalling that the current leader of the Immortal Clam Race was Divine Lord Glaze, he suppressed this thought for the moment, deciding to broach the subject when he met Divine Lord Glaze in person another day.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen smiled and said, "In that case, you have my sincere gratitude."

With the matter of the Starry Glazed Realm's advancement settled, this affair was brought to a close.

Before commencing his final breakthrough, Eldrin Chen journeyed to the core locations of both the Abyssal Abode of Bliss and the Setting Sun Blessed Land to retrieve the Heavenly River Flood Water Sword and the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss.

Ever since mastering the Primordial Chaos Limitless Rule, Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure-grade Heavenly Separated Twin Swords had become somewhat redundant for Eldrin Chen, as they could no longer enhance his combat prowess.

Therefore, five millennia ago, Eldrin Chen infused the two strands of World-Initiating Qi he possessed into the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords respectively. He then placed each Immortal Sword within the Fire Vein [a subterranean channel of concentrated fire-attribute spiritual energy] of the Abyssal Abode of Bliss and the Water Vein [a subterranean channel of concentrated water-attribute spiritual energy] of the Setting Sun Blessed Land.

Now, after the passage of several millennia, the two Immortal Sword had absorbed sufficient Fire Vein Power and Water Vein power, long since ascending into the realm of World-Opening Treasure.

Eldrin Chen tested them and found that when he activated the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords Union, the power of these two Immortal Sword had increased dramatically, roughly comparable to a full-force strike from an Earth Immortal Sixth Layer cultivator.

Unfortunately, the capacity of a Low Grade World Creation Treasure was still limited; they could not withstand Eldrin Chen's full-powered infusion. Otherwise, their combined might should have reached the level of a Late Stage Earth Immortal.

"Once I break through the Earth Immortal Realm and these two immortal swords advance to Mid-Grade Heaven-Opening Treasure, their combined power in unison should be sufficient to rival a Late Stage Earth Immortal," he mused.

"At that time, my arsenal will also gain a few more potent options."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, sheathing the two Immortal Sword [legendary swords wielded by powerful immortals] before departing without further delay.

Leading the Immortal [a supreme realm of cultivation, transcending mortality] cultivators of the Immortal Alliance, he journeyed toward the heart of the Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic conflict ordained by fate] within the Western Hero Divine Abyss Sea, soon arriving amidst the Hundred Demons Archipelago.

This Hundred Demons Archipelago, much like the Flowing Stream Hundred Seas, constituted one of the thirty-three great sea regions of the Western Hero Divine Abyss Sea, formed from over one hundred distinct seas.

Yet this particular archipelago was exceptionally vast and prosperous, ranking as the third most powerful among those thirty-three sea regions.

Do not underestimate this third-place ranking, for it was a truly formidable achievement. The foremost sea region was the Western Xi Sea, the very seat of the Western Hero Grotto-Heaven [a supreme paradise realm for cultivation].

The second-ranked sea region was known as the Divine Abyss Ancient Domain, governed by the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven. This chapter appears courtesy of audio . novel . com.

That the Western Abyss Dragon Palace held dominion over the Hundred Demons Archipelago was a testament to its status as the force within the Western Hero Divine Abyss Sea most likely to establish a Supreme Grotto-Heaven. Upon arriving within the archipelago, Eldrin Chen set foot upon a random sea and immediately discovered a Blessed Land [a land of spiritual abundance, often a site of cultivation or conflict].

Within that Blessed Land, countless warriors of the Human Race were locked in a fierce and desperate struggle against the Demonic Tribe [a collective term for various demonic races].

Witnessing this, Eldrin Chen spoke, "It is said that within this Hundred Demons Archipelago, there are over one hundred Demonic Tribe Blessed Land. Has the majority of them been drawn into this Great Tribulation?"

Solara nodded, her expression grave. "The Demon Race Celestial Court [the supreme ruling body of the demon races] stands as the foremost of the Three Courts, its power illuminating the myriad heavens. Across most Immortal Domain [realms where immortals dwell], the Demonic Tribe ranks among the mightiest races."

"In this Western Divine Abyss Sea [the vast western sea realm of the Divine Abyss], although the Western Qi and Divine Abyss Grotto-Heavens [celestial paradises] suppress the myriad races, the Demonic Tribe [a powerful and malevolent race of demons] remains one of the strongest factions."

As the two were speaking, a streak of light flew over from the Firmament [the highest heavens]. The newcomer was a Human Race Earth Immortal Progenitor [a human cultivator who has attained the Earth Immortal realm, a master of profound power]. Upon seeing the group, he smiled slightly and said, "I wondered who was passing by. It turns out to be fellow cultivators from our Human Race and the Immortal Clam Race [a race of immortal clam spirits]."

"You have all entered this tribulation [a period of great conflict and karmic reckoning], presumably to aid in the extermination of the Demonic Tribe?"

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen's eyes flickered with a thoughtful light.

After exchanging identities, Eldrin Chen learned that the man before them was named Tian Su the Daoist. He was the lord of a Blessed Land [a land of concentrated spiritual energy and fortune] and a Middle Stage Earth Immortal [an Earth Immortal in the middle stage of his cultivation]. He had entered this tribulation seeking greater opportunities for advancement.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen inquired, "We have just arrived. What is the current state of the campaign?"

The Ancient Ancestor Tian Su first showed a flicker of joy, then shook his head. "When the counter-offensive began several years ago, everything proceeded smoothly."

"We drove the Demonic Tribe out of the Leaf Ruins Divine Sea [the Divine Sea of the Leaf Ruins] in one push and successively broke through several dozen of their sea territories." Support the author by reading on http://www . audio-novel.com.
