Chapter 1473 : Ascendant Treasures and Hidden Realms

Ethan Chen and Eastern Sovereign each obtained a High Grade Heaven-Opening Treasure [a supreme-grade treasure capable of cleaving open the heavens], enhancing their methods and combat prowess by several degrees.

Thus, all nine of the clan's Earth Immortal Progenitor [powerful cultivators who have ascended to the Earth Immortal realm] now possessed a High Grade Heaven-Opening Treasure, finally achieving a state of comprehensive preparedness in their capabilities.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen resumed his secluded cultivation.

He refined the remaining two vials of Galaxy Star-Sand Pill [elixirs refined from the essence of galactic star-sand], only to find the growth in his Mana [the refined spiritual energy powering a cultivator's techniques] was not substantial. The two full vials of star-sand pills increased the Mana within him by merely one quarter.

"It seems that after breaking through to the Middle Stage Earth Immortal [the intermediate phase of the Earth Immortal realm], my Earth Immortal World [the internal cosmos of an Earth Immortal] has grown even more vast. To cultivate the Fourth Heaven Earth Immortal [the fourth tier of the Earth Immortal realm] to perfection would likely require eight vials of Galaxy Star-Sand Pill."

Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed slightly for a moment before smoothing out again.

After his breakthrough to Middle Stage Earth Immortal, the Five Directions Heavenly Pillars [divine pillars stabilizing the five cardinal directions within his internal world] within him had ascended to Eighth Rank middle-grade, and the power of the Primordial Source Treasure [a treasure connected to the primordial source of creation] within the Six Heavens and Seven Realms [a legendary cosmic structure of six heavens and seven realms] had also increased significantly. Consequently, the rate at which he could draw energy from the Void [the formless, boundless dimension underlying all reality] had greatly accelerated.

Overall, if he had sufficient resources, he estimated he could increase his cultivation by one tier every two hundred thousand years even without relying on Galaxy Star-Sand Pill.

"There are still over seven hundred thousand years until the Dao Tribulation [the cataclysmic heavenly trial faced by those seeking to ascend the Dao]. Time should be sufficient."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, then turned his gaze to the thirteen World-Opening Spiritual Root [spiritual roots of immense power, said to be capable of birthing worlds] within him, falling into pensive contemplation. The story continues at audio-novel*com.

Unlike the Five Extremities Celestial Pillars, advancing the World-Opening Spiritual Root is considerably more difficult. If left to grow naturally, it would likely require a million years to reach the limit of the Eighth Rank Lower Grade.

And once they reach the limit of the Eighth Rank Lower Grade, they will likely encounter a bottleneck, making further progress difficult for a time.

However, Eldrin Chen is currently accumulating Primordial Essence in preparation for condensing the 'Innate Primordial Violet Qi'.

In Eldrin Chen's estimation, the Innate Primordial Violet Qi possesses boundless and wondrous uses, perhaps even more Mysterious Profound than Innate Qi. Using the Primordial Essence on these World-Opening Spiritual Root now, merely to accelerate their growth, would be somewhat wasteful.

After all, he possesses thirteen such World-Opening Spiritual Root within him. Accelerating the growth of each one would consume a portion of Acquired Primordial Violet Qi, and the total sum would be no small amount.

After much deliberation, Eldrin Chen ultimately abandoned the idea of accelerating the growth of these Spiritual Root. He merely murmured, "Let them grow naturally.

When they encounter their bottleneck, we shall then assist their breakthrough by using Primordial Essence supplemented with World-Initiating Qi."

With this decision settled in his heart, Eldrin Chen returned to his secluded cultivation.

Thus, time flowed swiftly. Tens of thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye, until the day the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron was nearing its final stage of formation. On this day, within the Setting Sun Blessed Land, a grand and magnificent formation was activated, operating ceaselessly.

At the very core of the Setting Sun Blessed Land, Eldrin Chen sat with a grave expression within the Grand Hall.

Before him, seven individuals were seated: Lyra Jiang, Verdant Consort, Nyssa Qu, Lila, Ethan Chen, Kael Chen, and Qiyuan Chen. Eldrin Chen swept his gaze over the assembly and spoke, "In approximately ten years' time, the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron [a legendary artifact of immense power] will reach its moment of final maturation."

"In recent days, many eyes have turned covetously towards it. You must remember to guard the Setting Sun Sea [a mystical sea realm] vigilantly and not stray even half a step beyond the boundaries of the Setting Sun Blessed Land [a sanctuary within the sea]."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded solemnly.

Lyra Jiang's expression turned grave. "In these past days," she said, "I have sensed the auras of at least three cultivators at the Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal realm] lurking nearby. I fear their intentions are far from benevolent."

"There is no need for concern,"

Eldrin Chen replied with serene composure. With a flick of his sleeve, he manifested an ancient cauldron forged from Dragon-Patterned Black Gold [a rare metal imbued with draconic essence].

The Black Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron [a companion artifact to the Crimson Dragon Cauldron], nurtured by the energies of the Abyssal Abode of Bliss [Eldrin's personal sanctum], had finally restored its full divine might a step ahead of its crimson counterpart.

Witnessing this, a gleam of understanding lit up in everyone's eyes. Verdant Consort could not help but smile. "Now that you have refined and mastered this cauldron, even if more experts at the Earth Immortal Great Perfection arrive, we have nothing to fear."

"Indeed."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod of agreement and issued his final command. "Lyra, you shall personally stand guard before the ancient Crimson Dragon [a mythical beast of great power] cauldron. Show no mercy to any who dare approach without permission."

"You must refine and gain control over it the very moment it manifests into the world." Lyra Jiang nodded, her expression grave as she said, "I understand."

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen turned to the other six individuals and declared, "You shall join me in guarding the Myriad-League Dusk Sun Grand Formation."

With Eldrin Chen's command, the entire Setting Sun Sea was elevated to its highest state of readiness. A full seven combatants with the power of Late Stage Earth Immortal [a high-level cultivator who has fused with the essence of the world] personally took action, pushing the Mountain Guardian Grand Formation [a powerful defensive array that draws upon the spiritual veins of a mountain range] of the Setting Sun Sea to its absolute limit.

Thus, time flowed on, and several more years passed. As the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron [a legendary cauldron artifact of immense power] was on the verge of complete restoration, someone finally could sit still no longer.

Beyond the Setting Sun Sea, ten Demon Race Earth Immortal [powerful demons who have attained a high level of cultivation, equivalent to human Earth Immortals] stepped forth through the air. They surrounded a figure of imposing stature clad in black robes, appearing before the Setting Sun Blessed Land [a sacred land of cultivation bathed in the light of the setting sun].

This faction was none other than the Dark Roc Race [a race of powerful, shadowy roc demons] from Gale Wind Valley. Their leader was the Dark Roc King, a being at the Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal realm]. "Eldrin, the Junior, prepare to die!"

At this moment, the Dark Roc King gazed coldly at the Setting Sun Blessed Land and spoke.

Without uttering another word, he merely flicked his sleeve. Billions of dark Plume Feather [feathers imbued with spiritual power] descended like a myriad of Heavenly Saber [divine blades from the heavens], slashing and cleaving towards the Mountain Guardian Grand Formation protecting the Setting Sun Blessed Land.

Yet, against such an assault, the Mountain Guardian Grand Formation of the Setting Sun Blessed Land merely rippled with faint disturbances, showing no sign of being breached. Witnessing this, the ten Earth Immortal surrounding the Dark Roc King also launched their attacks.

Unfortunately, among these Earth Immortal, only one was at the Late Stage Earth Immortal. They brought little additional pressure to bear against the Mountain Guardian Grand Formation, which was being maintained by seven Late Stage Earth Immortal.

Seeing this, Dark Roc King spoke, "Fellow Daoist Azure Dragon, the Central Heaven Earth-Fortress Divine Spirits [powerful deities associated with the earth and defense], if we do not act now, I fear there will be no time left."

"Boom!"

As the words of Dark Roc King fell, two figures strode forth from the Void [the formless, empty space between realms].

Of these two, one was clad in the imperial robes of an Azure Dragon Lord, holding an ancient Azure Dragon cauldron as he came. This was none other than Lord Azure Dragon, the Seventh Elder of the Western Abyss Dragon Palace.

The other wore a divine crown and a pale yellow robe, advancing like an ancient Divine Lord [a title for a powerful deity]. "Lord Azure Dragon, Central Earth Spirit Deity."

The moment he saw these two, Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed slightly, a look of solemn gravity settling upon his features.

These two Demon Immortal [a powerful demon who has attained immortality] Divine Spirits [deities of immense power], Eldrin Chen had long heard of them. Lord Azure Dragon was the paramount powerhouse of the Western Abyss Dragon Palace.

Even before the last Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic event testing cultivators and realms], this lord was already a powerhouse at the Eighth Level Earth Immortal [a high stage of Earth Immortal cultivation] and had once laid a trap that resulted in the death of Thousand Streams Daoist, the Grand Elder of the Flowing Fire Star Palace.

Now, his cultivation had advanced further, having already reached the realm of Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of Earth Immortal cultivation].

As for that Central Earth Spirit Deity, he was also a famously renowned Earth Immortal Great Perfection. It was said this being was a peerless Divine Spirits who had opened up the Eighth Heaven [a high-level celestial realm], and had twice crossed blades with Zixuan the Daoist without either gaining the upper hand.

The fact that a Deity [a high-level cultivator whose spirit has ascended to a divine state] of such immense power had come in person still made Eldrin Chen feel a deep sense of foreboding. Support the author by reading on audio-novel*com.
