Chapter 1431 : The Final Primordial Core

Upon hearing this, Nyssa Qu [the Immortal Maiden Nyssa] felt a slight tremor in her heart.

Over these years, Divine Lord Glaze [the Divine Lord of the Glazed Abode] had traversed the various lands of the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain [the Celestial Realm of the Azure Heavens] to aid her in forging the Seven Ultimate Spirit-Slaying Sword [a legendary sword requiring seven primordial beast cores], exerting immense effort and care.

Now, being severely wounded because of the North Sea Mystic Turtle [a primordial mystical turtle from the Northern Sea] filled her with even greater guilt. "Do not worry. This level of injury is not severe. I can recover with some years of rest and cultivation," Divine Lord Glaze said with a gentle smile, seemingly perceiving her remorse.

She handed the Primordial Beast Core [the condensed spiritual essence of a primordial beast] of the North Sea Mystic Turtle to Nyssa Qu and continued, "With this Primordial Beast Core, your Seven Ultimate Spirit-Slaying Sword lacks only the final core from the Western Metal Grand Tiger [the Grand Tiger of Western Metal, a primordial beast] to be completed."

"From what I know, that Western Metal Grand Tiger roams within the Western Pole Celestial Domain [the Celestial Domain of the Western Pole]. To avoid falling into any schemes, I cannot act until my wounds are healed. You must plan for this final Primordial Beast Core yourselves."

Eldrin Chen [the Abyssal Emperor Eldrin] nodded upon hearing this and said, "For the Seven Primordial Desolate Spirit Inner Pills [the seven core pills from primordial desolate spirits], Senior has helped us obtain four. Such grace, we shall never forget."

"This last Primordial Beast Core, leave it to us."

"Mm," Divine Lord Glaze nodded, then spoke, "Given your current strength, I am now quite reassured. However, when you travel, remember to conceal your movements to avoid being targeted by others."

Eldrin Chen nodded, retrieving a Soul-Returning Pill [a pill that nourishes and repairs the soul] from his sleeve. "This is a Soul-Returning Pill I refined in recent years. It should be of some use for your injuries, Senior."

"Your thoughtfulness is appreciated." The story continues at audio-novel .c om.

Divine Lord Glaze [the ruler of the Glazed Abode of Bliss] cast a glance and gave a slight nod. The Soul-Returning Pill [a supreme healing treasure] was an Eighth Rank High Grade [a classification denoting extremely high quality] treasure of recovery, capable of exerting a certain beneficial effect on her injuries.

Thus, she accepted the Soul-Returning Pill, then smiled and said, "This pill is of immense value. What do you desire in return?"

"Senior was injured while forging a sword for Nyssa. How could I have the face to exchange this for treasure?" Eldrin Chen shook his head and spoke, "Consider it merely a token of this junior's respect."

Previously, Eldrin Chen had obtained a Soul-Returning Flower [a rare spiritual herb] within the Yin Plane Microcosm [a pocket dimension of profound Yin energy]. The final alchemical refinement yielded two Treasure Pill [pills of exceptional quality and power]. Offering one now to Divine Lord Glaze was, in Eldrin Chen's view, a partial repayment of the debt of gratitude he owed.

Divine Lord Glaze did not elaborate further, merely smiling as she said, "I heard you require World-Initiating Qi [primordial energy used in world-creation]. The Clan Treasury still holds some. Later, accompany Solara [the Sun Consort] to retrieve ten strands."

With those words, Divine Lord Glaze said no more, simply waving her hand to dismiss them from the Cultivation Cave [a secluded chamber for meditation and cultivation].

The Glazed Blessed Land [the domain ruled by Divine Lord Glaze] was resolute in its stance. In the end, Eldrin Chen departed with ten strands of the World-Initiating Qi.

Upon returning to the Abyssal Abode of Bliss [Eldrin Chen's personal domain], Eldrin Chen relayed the situation to Lyra Jiang and Verdant Consort [also known as Qing Ji] and the others.

After hearing the account, a trace of solemnity touched the brows of those present. Lyra Jiang could not help but ask, "Now that Divine Lord Glaze cannot take action, might the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace [a powerful celestial lord] seize the opportunity to move against us?"

"He likely will not." Eldrin Chen shook his head and stated, "The injuries of the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace are more severe than those of Divine Lord Glaze. At present, his combat prowess is, at most, only fifty to sixty percent of its peak."

"With such combat prowess, he could likely handle two or three Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal realm] simultaneously. He probably wouldn't dare to act rashly."

At this point, Eldrin Chen's expression turned grave as he continued, "But you are right. Although the Flowing Fire Star Palace [a powerful celestial sect] will not take direct action, they certainly won't pass up this opportunity to move against us."

Hearing this, Verdant Consort furrowed her brow slightly. "If that's the case, then what about the Western Metal Grand Tiger [a primordial beast of metallic and predatory nature]..."

Eldrin Chen did not answer immediately. After a moment's pause, he said, "That Western Metal Grand Tiger is one of the Primordial Desolate Spirits [ancient and immensely powerful spiritual beasts from the dawn of creation]. Its essence is crucial for Nyssa to successfully forge the Seven Ultimate Spirit-Slaying Sword [a legendary sword designed to sever spiritual entities]."

"Once Nyssa forges the Seven Ultimate Spirit-Slaying Sword, her power will undoubtedly increase tremendously. This will also improve our chances of securing the Yin Plane Microcosm [a pocket dimension aligned with Yin energies]."

"Therefore, we cannot abandon the pursuit of that Western Metal Grand Tiger."

Here, Eldrin Chen pondered briefly before declaring, "In a while, I will send people to gather intelligence on the Western Metal Grand Tiger. Once we confirm its exact whereabouts, we will act."

"But..." Nyssa Qu voiced her concern, unable to hold back. "What if the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace [the sovereign ruler of the Flowing Fire Star Palace] truly decides to take the risk and attack us?"

"Do not worry." Eldrin Chen shook his head, weighing his words carefully. "With my current strength, aided by all of you, we can hold our own even against an Earth Immortal Nine Layers [the ninth and penultimate layer of the Earth Immortal realm]. Taking it a step further, even if a top-tier Earth Immortal Great Perfection were to assault us, with the power of the Yin-Yang Void Realm [a supreme treasure capable of manipulating the void between Yin and Yang], few could stop me if I chose to retreat."

Hearing his confident assessment, the others felt a measure of reassurance settle within them.

Lyra Jiang [the Immortal Maiden Lyra Jiang] pondered for a moment before speaking. "Let us first gather intelligence. If we locate the Western Metal Grand Tiger [a powerful metallic-element tiger demon], we can act then. There is no need for haste."

"Agreed."

Once the decision was made, Eldrin Chen dispatched over a dozen of the clan's Immortal [cultivators who have ascended to the Immortal Realm] into the Western Pole Celestial Domain [a vast celestial region in the western reaches] to seek information on the Western Metal Grand Tiger.

With more than a dozen Immortal scouring the land, it took merely three Millennium [a period of one thousand years] before they pinpointed the creature's whereabouts. "The Western Geng Supreme Profound Mountain Range [a mountain range imbued with potent metallic and profound energies]."

Reading the intelligence report in his hand, Eldrin Chen murmured to himself, then relayed the news to Lyra Jiang and the others.

After listening, Lyra Jiang studied the report in Eldrin Chen's grasp, a slight frown creasing her brow. "The Primordial Tiger [an ancient and formidable lineage of tiger demons] dwelling within that Western Geng Supreme Profound Mountain Range... they are likely not to be underestimated."

Nyssa Qu [the Immortal Maiden Nyssa Qu] nodded in agreement. "At least two Western Metal Grand Tiger at the Late Stage Earth Immortal [the advanced phase of the Earth Immortal cultivation realm], and their tracks are notoriously difficult to trace."

"Without a significant stroke of fortune, we could lie in wait for hundreds of thousands of years and still fail to find them."

Eldrin Chen took a deep breath, his resolve firming. "Regardless, the Western Metal Grand Tiger is rare and elusive. We cannot afford to let this opportunity slip through our fingers."

"We depart at dawn."

Early the next morning, Eldrin Chen set out for the Western Pole Celestial Domain.

As this journey would likely keep him away from home for tens of thousands of years, Eldrin Chen departed with five companions: Lyra Jiang, Verdant Consort, Nyssa Qu, Lila, and Yvonne the Violet Consort.

The three Earth Immortal [powerful cultivators who have ascended to a profound realm of existence]—Kael Chen, Ethan Chen, and Qiyuan Chen—were left behind to safeguard the clan.

Thus, the party of six activated the Yin-Yang Void Realm [a mystical treasure capable of traversing vast distances through void space] and journeyed towards the Western Pole Celestial Domain. After several years of travel, they finally arrived at the Western Geng Supreme Profound Mountain Range.

The Western Geng Supreme Profound Mountain Range was one of the thirty-six famed mountain ranges of the Western Pole Celestial Domain. Its vast, sprawling expanse stretched for countless billions upon billions of Li-length [one Li-length equals five hundred meters], its scale rivaling even that of the Flowing Stream Hundred Seas.

Within this immense mountain range, dozens of Demonic Tribe Blessed Land [realms of concentrated spiritual energy and prosperity] held dominion. The paramount ruler among them was the Blessed Land known as the Tiger's Roar Abode of Bliss, belonging to the illustrious White Tiger Clan.

As Eldrin Chen stood before the Western Geng Supreme Profound Mountain Range, he recalled the information myself had gathered about the Western Pole Celestial Domain.

From his knowledge, this Western Pole Celestial Domain was anchored by three Supreme Grotto-Heaven [the highest order of mystical, self-contained paradises] that stabilized the Cosmos.

These three Grotto-Heaven were: the White Tiger Grotto-Heaven, the Great White Grotto-Heaven, and the Glittering Gold Grotto-Heaven.

Among these three Grotto-Heaven, the White Tiger Grotto-Heaven, established by the White Tiger Clan, stood as the foremost. Find this and other novels at audio‑novel.com.
