Chapter 1461 : Foundations of an Immortal Dynasty

Speaking of this, Eldrin Chen could not help but recall the changes within his clan.

In the blink of an eye, two hundred thousand years had passed since the Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic event of immense scale and consequence]. Among the initial cohort of Immortal [beings who have transcended mortality through cultivation] from the Chen Immortal Clan, their lifespans had already exceeded three hundred thousand years.

By now, the foundation and Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound and stable base of a cultivator's power] of the Chen Immortal Clan had undergone significant transformation.

It was only in recent years that the clan and the Immortal Alliance's Immortal had fully digested the gains from the Great Tribulation.

The first generation of Immortal had all cultivated a Heaven-Opening Foundation [a supreme foundational cultivation art], and many had even reached the realm of Six Tribulations Immortal [an Immortal who has survived six heavenly tribulations].

While the number of Earth Immortal [a higher tier of Immortal, bound to and drawing power from the earth] had not increased, the clan's Immortal now numbered over three hundred.

Among the clan's several Earth Immortal Progenitor [founding-level Earth Immortals], the earlier breakthroughs—Eldrin Chen, Verdant Consort, Lyra Jiang, and Nyssa Qu—had all cultivated to the Third Level Earth Immortal realm.

Kael Chen, Ethan Chen, Qiyuan Chen, along with Yvonne the Violet Consort and Lila, had also reached the Second Level Earth Immortal realm and were estimated to advance to the Third Level Earth Immortal within twenty to thirty thousand years.

Of course, at this stage, the Chen Immortal Clan had reached a bottleneck. For another great leap forward, it would require at least Eldrin Chen's breakthrough to Middle Stage Earth Immortal.

And given Eldrin Chen's profound foundation, stepping into Middle Stage Earth Immortal would still demand the consumption of vast resources. Your portal to cultivation novels: audio‑novel.com.

Contemplating this, he mused briefly before saying, "By my reckoning, the Barter Convention [a grand trade gathering held once every one hundred thousand years] is due to commence soon. We must not miss it this time."

Lyra Jiang gave a slight nod and said with a smile, "I have already prepared goods and materials valued at three million Immortal Source [a high-grade spiritual energy source used by powerful immortals], along with some rare treasures of considerable worth."

"It should be more than sufficient to purchase over thirty vials of the Galaxy Star-Sand Pill [a precious cultivation pill refined from cosmic star-sand essence]."

At this point, Lyra Jiang pondered again and added, "However, acquiring the Extreme Yang Flower [a legendary herb of pure Yang essence] will likely still be beyond our means."

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen's eyes flickered with thought. The Extreme Yang Flower was an Eighth Rank High Grade Immortal Herbs [herbs of immense spiritual potency used in high-level alchemy]. When refined together with the Extreme Yin Fruit [its counterpart of pure Yin essence], it could forge the legendary Heaven-Opening Immortal Pill—also known as the Yin-Yang Dual Poles Pill [a supreme pill harmonizing the forces of Yin and Yang].

That Yin-Yang Dual Poles Pill contained the power of the Yin-Yang [the fundamental dualistic forces of the universe] polarities. If an Early Stage Earth Immortal Ancient Ancestor [a venerable, ancient progenitor of a clan or sect] consumed it, they could rapidly awaken the Dual Poles Heavenly Light [a celestial radiance born from the fusion of Yin and Yang] within their Earth Immortal World [the internal world cultivated by an Earth Immortal].

Once the Dual Poles Heavenly Light was awakened, they could save hundreds of thousands of years spent accumulating Heaven and Earth Origin [the primordial essence of heaven and earth], swiftly breaking through to the Middle Stage Earth Immortal realm.

With this in mind, Eldrin Chen spoke up, "Do not worry. Over these years, through my collaboration with the Glazed Blessed Land [a renowned paradise and trading hub], I have refined a considerable quantity of External Elixir [a type of potent, externally cultivated spiritual elixir]."

"Our Clan Treasury now holds a significant stockpile. If I sell the majority of our External Elixir to the Glazed Blessed Land, the Immortal Source we obtain in return should be more than enough for our needs."

Having said this, Eldrin Chen prepared to depart for the Glazed Blessed Land. However, just before he left, a Spirit Talisman [an enchanted slip of paper used for communication] came flying towards him. He took it and glanced at its contents, his brow furrowing slightly with concern.

Seeing this, Lyra Jiang could not help but inquire, "What is the matter?"

Eldrin Chen handed her the Spirit Talisman [a talisman imbued with spiritual power], then spoke, "According to the letter from Fellow Daoist Skywind, it seems someone is watching outside the Setting Sun Blessed Land [a sacred land of cultivation], asking me how we should deal with it."

Lyra Jiang glanced at the Spirit Talisman and frowned slightly. "The Flowing Fire Star Palace [a powerful celestial sect] knows we are nurturing the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron [a legendary cauldron artifact] within the Setting Sun Blessed Land. They fear we might flee with it."

"Indeed."

"In the eyes of the Lord of the Flowing Fire Palace, the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron is the most crucial matter."

Eldrin Chen nodded, letting out a soft sigh.

Placing the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron within the Setting Sun Blessed Land for nurturing was a decision Eldrin Chen had arrived at after much deliberation.

That Setting Sun Blessed Land was the place where the Setting Sun Celestial God [a powerful deity] had fallen. Within it lay remnants of the deity's Primordial Source [the foundational, primordial energy of a being], which resonated perfectly with the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron.

Therefore, using the Setting Sun Blessed Land to restore the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron was the most fitting choice. Only the Setting Sun Blessed Land could restore the artifact to its full, formidable power.

Regarding this, Eldrin Chen had not concealed the truth from the Flowing Fire Star Palace. The fact that the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron could be restored within three hundred thousand years was information he had intentionally allowed to leak out.

It was precisely for this reason that the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace had endured until now, refraining from taking action against Eldrin Chen.

Otherwise, the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace might have long since lost patience, resorting to a desperate gamble to seize the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron outright.

Given the current circumstances, the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron was in a continuous state of recovery—a deliberate hope that Eldrin Chen had offered to the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace.

This hope was the promise that after three hundred thousand years, the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron would be fully restored; by seizing it then, he could use it to heal his wounds.

And until that time, by maintaining his position and not acting rashly, he would avoid alerting the Western Abyss Celestial Palace and Divine Lord Glaze.

If he were to move prematurely, not only would the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron struggle to recover, but even if he succeeded in taking it, it would likely be reclaimed by the Glazed Blessed Land and the Western Abyss Celestial Palace.

Under these conditions, the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace had waited for two hundred thousand years, remaining utterly still even to this day.

Contemplating this, Eldrin Chen shook his head and said, "In the present situation, as the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron draws ever closer to complete restoration, the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace grows increasingly fixated upon it."

"He will not permit the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron to vanish. Even if you or I wished to retrieve it, I fear he would not tolerate it."

Upon hearing this, Lyra Jiang nodded and then spoke: "By comparison, he desires the successful advancement of the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron even more fervently than we do."

Understanding this, Eldrin Chen sighed softly. He then summoned Ethan Chen and instructed, "Make a journey to the Setting Sun Blessed Land. Inform Fellow Daoist Skywind that there is no need for concern regarding this matter. He should continue his cultivation as usual."

"Understood,"

Ethan Chen nodded. He then transformed into a streak of Swiftflight Light and sped off towards the Setting Sun Sea.

After Ethan Chen departed, Eldrin Chen and Lyra Jiang did not linger. They immediately set off for the Glazed Blessed Land.

Not long after, the pair arrived within the Glazed Blessed Land. At this time, Divine Lord Glaze was still in seclusion, healing from her injuries. They were received by Solara.

Solara's cultivation progress had been astonishingly swift; she had already reached the realm of a Fourth Heaven Earth Immortal.

This surprised Eldrin Chen slightly. He could not help but remark, "Only two hundred thousand years have passed, and you, Immortal Maiden, have already broken through to the Middle Stage Earth Immortal. Your progress is truly divine in its speed."

Solara offered a faint smile, yet remained humble. "It is merely because the World Creation [the foundational world within an Earth Immortal's dantian] I must sustain is relatively small, allowing my cultivation to advance a bit faster. There is little cause for celebration in that."

Eldrin Chen shook his head, a warm smile on his lips. "Many Earth Immortal Progenitor [Earth Immortals] cultivate diligently for millions of years, yet may never set foot upon the Middle Stage Earth Immortal."

Seeing his insistence, Solara smiled and shook her head, choosing not to argue the point further. Instead, she inquired, "Your visit today—does it concern an important matter?"

"I am preparing to attend the Barter Convention and, on the way, came to find you to exchange for some Immortal Source [a primordial spiritual substance of immense value] and rare treasures."

Eldrin Chen offered a faint smile and directly produced several dozen External Elixir [a type of pill refined from external sources, distinct from internal cultivation].

Solara gave a slight nod and said with a laugh, "That is easily arranged. I still possess a considerable amount of Immortal Source."

The External Elixir refined through the Primordial Chaos Limitless Rule [a supreme cultivation art of boundless chaos] are unique treasures, and the Glazed Blessed Land has always sought to acquire as many as possible.

That Solara took a portion of Immortal Source and Incense Fire Celestial Silver [a rare, silvery metal refined by sacred incense-fire], and the transaction was swiftly completed.

Once the exchange was concluded, Solara seemed to recall something and casually advised, "For the past two hundred thousand years, the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea has suffered from a great drought."

"Across the entire Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, the sea level has dropped by half a tenth. In some of the shallower regions, it is said the seabed has been exposed, gradually transforming into desolate continents." This content originates from audio-novel.com. Please respect copyright.
