Chapter 1371 : Ascension Method of the Stellar Glaze Realm

Upon hearing this, the gazes of both individuals flickered slightly, yet their reactions differed.

A faint smile graced Chen Jieyuan’s lips as he remarked, "This method aligns seamlessly with my own path—truly an exceptional art."

"If I simplify the process, using the firmament as my crucible and the great sun as my flame, it may well be sufficient to perfect my Dao Fruit."

Chen Jieyuan, the Eastern Emperor, possessed an extraordinary origin. He was forged by Eldrin (Person Name) using 3 foundational elements: the physical body of the Eastern Emperor, the Bell of the Eastern Emperor, and the remnant soul of the Primordial Stellar Deity, Xuanming (Divine Spirit).

Nourished by the Solar God’s Gold as sustenance, with the 9 Heavens Immortal Array as the crucible and the underground fire veins of the Violet Realm as the flame, it ultimately gave birth to a divine being of heaven and earth.

It could be said that the foundation of the Eastern Emperor was no less than that of an innate deity, with the sole distinction being the absence of a crucial strand of Primordial Qi.

With such a profound foundation, after ascending to the Celestial Realm, Eldrin cultivated the Primordial Chaos Scroll: Crimson Sun Ascent Path, and based upon this, he pioneered the Solar Ascent Path.

The Solar Ascent Dao is a cultivation method that refines the physical body by drawing upon the essence of solar flames. It is said that when cultivated to its ultimate state, 1 could manifest 9 blazing suns within their very being.

When cultivated to its ultimate extreme, 1 could contend against a Perfected Earth Immortal using physical strength alone, demonstrating the astonishing power of this Dao method.

Eldrin's method, however, forged the physical body using heaven and earth as the furnace and yin-yang as the flames—an approach that resonated deeply with Chen Jieyuan's own path of cultivation.

With his cultivation of the Indestructible Golden Body and the Solar Ascent Dao, his chances of reaching the Ninth Tribulation Realm through this method far surpassed those of ordinary Eighth Tribulation Immortals.

However, Kael shook his head and remarked, "This method treats the physical body as a precious elixir to be refined, demanding exceptionally high physical resilience."

"I have not yet cultivated the Primordial Chaos True Body. Relying solely on the power of 3 Dao Fruits, I fear it would be difficult to withstand such intense furnace flames."

At this point, Kael added, "I might as well venture once more into the heart of the Great Calamity and see if I can slay an 8-Tribulation Immortal."

Hearing this, Eldrin frowned and said, "Any immortal capable of reaching the Eighth Tribulation must have a backer at least at the late-stage Earth Immortal realm or above."

"If you rush in recklessly, it would still be too perilous." "There is no need to dissuade me." Kael shook his head and declared without hesitation, "The path of cultivation is fraught with trials. Some experiences are inevitable."

Eldrin understood that his clan brother possessed an unshakable Dao heart, 1 that would not easily be swayed by others.

With no other choice, Eldrin took out an ancient talisman from his sleeve and said, "Take this talisman. You must proceed with utmost caution."

Hearing this, everyone felt a subtle stir in their hearts.

This ancient talisman was a Void Rune Treasure, a primordial void rune that Eldrin had imprinted from the Yin-Yang Void Realm using supreme-grade immortal materials.

This talismanic treasure contains the unorthodox-level Heaven-Sundering Art "Void-Rending Ethereal Escape," capable of transporting a cultivator beyond the confines of most eighth-tier formations in critical moments, instantly traversing across hundreds of millions of nautical miles of ocean.

Because the supreme treasures capable of imprinting the Heaven-Splitting Divine Art were exceedingly rare, Eldrin had only managed to refine 2 ancient talismans containing the Void-Rending Heaven-Escaping Art over all these years.

Kael took the ancient talisman, a soft sigh escaping his heart as he murmured with deep emotion, "Over these years, the karmic debts I owe you have likely grown beyond repayment."

"Since we are of the same clan, why must we calculate everything so precisely?"

Eldrin smiled faintly and said, "Should you ever reach the 9 Tribulations realm, you may become 1 of my right-hand aides. Consider this a modest gesture of support."

Kael nodded slightly upon hearing this. Over the years, Eldrin had forged numerous friendships across the immortal realms.

However, as time went on, there were truly few things that could offer Eldrin (Person Name) substantial assistance.

As for figures like the Palace Master of the Way, unless they could cultivate to the Celestial Immortal realm in the future, they would likely only be able to offer minor assistance, unable to provide Eldrin (Person Name) with substantial support.

Those with truly formidable potential were few indeed, such as Daoist Eldrin and Old Mound Yinjun.

However, these newfound friends were not yet deeply acquainted, and it would take hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of years to truly discern the measure of their character.

At present, only Kael and Chen Ethan—clansmen who had accompanied each other for tens of thousands of years and knew each other inside out—were the most trustworthy.

At this thought, Eldrin (Person Name) turned his gaze once more to Ye Qingfeng, Lu Wenyuan, and Yuansheng.

Over these past several 1000 years, all 3 had made significant progress in their cultivation. Lu Wenyuan and Yuansheng had now both reached the Great Perfection of Ascension, while Ye Qingfeng had cultivated to the Eighth Heavenly Layer of Ascension, merely a step away from achieving Great Perfection.

At this thought, Eldrin retrieved 3 Dao Origins and said, "During my journey to the 10 1000 Tribulations Thunder Sea, I slew 5 half-step Earth Immortal deities and happened to acquire a few supreme-grade Dao Origins."

"Take 1 each, so you may swiftly break through to the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm."

The 3 of them felt a flicker of joy upon hearing this and promptly knelt down, bowing deeply. "We thank our Master for bestowing these treasures." "Go now."

Eldrin waved his hand, signaling for the crowd to withdraw.

After the crowd had dispersed, Eldrin gazed at the last 2 Supreme Dao Origins in his hand, then turned to Lyra and said, "My lady, how do you think we should allocate these final 2 Supreme Dao Origins?"

Lyra (Person Name) pondered briefly before speaking, "These fragments of Dao Source are of mediocre quality. They hold little value for immortals who have surpassed 6 heavenly tribulations."

"Why not entrust it to the Glazed Paradise and see if they can produce 2 6-Calamity Immortals."

Eldrin’s gaze flickered slightly as he understood Lyra’s implication—it was meant for Moon Princess and Star Princess.

Since the Great Cataclysm erupted, Eldrin and Astrid have been the first to break through to the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm, and their gains have been extraordinarily vast.

They refined several supreme-grade Dao Origins in succession, and now both had laid the foundation of 6-Calamity Immortals. With just 1 more step, they could ascend to the Seventh-Calamity Realm—their prowess likely rivaling even that of Sun Chaser from back in the day.

At this thought, Eldrin summoned the trio from the Glazed Paradise and handed them 2 strands of Dao Origins.

Xing Ji and Yue Ji obtained the Source of Dao, both revealing faint expressions of delight.

Seeing this, Riji spoke up, "A supreme-grade Dao Origin is worth no small fortune. Might I ask what treasures you wish to exchange for it, Fellow Daoist?"

"No need for such courtesy." Eldrin smiled faintly and said, "The 3 of you contributed greatly at the dawn of the great calamity. Now that I have risen to prominence amidst this tribulation, it is only fitting that I offer you some compensation in return."

"You can't put it that way," Sun-Chaser shook her head, her tone resolute. "1 matter is separate from another. In this battle, we also received our share of treasures."

At this point, Riji paused briefly in contemplation before saying, "I observe that your Starlight Glazed Realm is truly extraordinary, seemingly possessing the potential to evolve into an Earthly Immortal blessed land."

"Very well. Once our Moon Princess and Star Princess both break through to the Earth Immortal realm, each of us shall contribute 1 Grade-8 Divine Pearl to assist the Starry Glazed Realm in evolving into a blessed land."

"Is that truly the case?"

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) could not help but reveal a hint of delight.

Long before the Great Cataclysm, the Starlit Glazed Realm could sustain the cultivation of over 30 immortals.
