Chapter 1405 : Wish Fulfilled

"2 100 and 20-7 spiritual roots—enough to last us for the next million years."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, a faint smile gracing his lips.

With the aid of Pangu Primordial Qi and Primordial Purple Qi, these 227 spiritual roots would eventually advance to Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), allowing their cultivation paths to progress much faster.

Beyond that, he had obtained a total of 60-1 strands of Primordial Chaos Qi this time, sufficient to nurture 60-1 Heavenly Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root).

With this thought, Eldrin (Person Name) descended with a heart full of contentment.

All those attending the Artifact Exchange Conference were not surprised to see him purchase over 2 100 spiritual roots.

In the current Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, Eldrin (Person Name) had gained a modest reputation. With a few inquiries, anyone could learn that he was a newly ascended Earth Immortal who had transcended the mortal realm in less than 100,000 years.

A young terrestrial immortal like him, having established his immortal clan and blessed realm upon arriving in the immortal domain, naturally harbored soaring ambitions in his heart.

They often believed their potential was limitless, holding hopes of 1 day reaching the realms of Celestial Immortals or even Great Perfection. Thus, their immediate priority was naturally to accumulate foundational resources.

The methods to accumulate foundational resources are none other than developing immortal farmland, cultivating celestial herbs, managing blessed lands, and nurturing spirit roots.

Particularly when cultivating spirit roots, a single mature immortal-grade spirit root could often bring immense gains to a clan.

Once these spiritual roots were nurtured into the premium-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), each of the 2 100-some roots would become equivalent to supreme immortal treasures, coveted by numerous half-step Earth Immortals (Cultivation Realm) to serve as their 4 Extremities Pillars (Cultivation Foundation).

If, out of the 200 Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root), a dozen or so could be nurtured into premium-grade Heavenly Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root), or even 1 or 2 reached the level of awakened Heavenly Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root), then Eldrin (Person Name) would undoubtedly reap immense profits.

Unfortunately, these spiritual roots were arduous to cultivate, often making it difficult to break through 1's inherent limits and advance further.

The vast majority of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root) would become stuck at the peak of the 6th-grade upper-tier level. Over hundreds of thousands of years, until the spiritual roots completely withered away, none could advance to become a later-stage Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root).

However, the vast majority of Post-Heavenly Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root) would remain stuck at the low-to-mid grade tiers, with only a rare few managing to advance to the level of a superior-grade Post-Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root).

Even after maturing into a superior-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), advancing such a spiritual foundation further remained an immensely arduous endeavor.

Without a special cultivation method to nurture it, even after tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years, it would be impossible to advance any further.

Generally speaking, if an immortal possessed secret arts and was willing to pay an enormous price, they might barely manage to cultivate it to the level of a top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root).

To advance even further and become 1 of those with a Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) is an even more daunting challenge.

Only those ancient blessed lands, possessing methods to cultivate the Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), could achieve a measure of success—and only by sparing no effort over tens of millions of years.

"This Daoist of the Returning Abyss has just broken through to Earth Immortal realm, yet he's already preparing his foundation—truly a man of foresight."

In the void, a Lord of Blessed Land at the Great Perfection stage of Earth Immortal realm smiled faintly as he spoke to his companion beside him.

His friend also nodded, a cold sneer curling his lips. "He has just stepped into the Earth Immortal Realm, yet instead of purchasing divine pills and rare treasures to swiftly break through to the mid-stage, he squanders his resources so recklessly."

"Do you truly believe that a prodigy like him, who treads the forbidden path, would be allowed to cultivate his blessed land for tens of millions of years?"

"Indeed." Another nodded, his expression serene as he remarked, "When the Heavenly Tribulation arrives in a million years, if he breaks through to the middle stage of Earth Immortal realm, he might still have a sliver of chance to preserve his life."

"Had I still been at the early Earth Immortal stage, I would have been reduced to tribulation ashes without even a shred of resistance."

A violet-robed Earth Immortal’s gaze flickered slightly as he remarked thoughtfully, "Not necessarily. I observed him purchasing dozens of Creation Qi. It’s entirely possible he could cultivate a few Heavenly Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root)."

"What use is even the most supreme Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) if 1 lacks sufficient strength to protect it?"

An Earth Immortal elder shook his head disapprovingly and sighed, "Our human race has finally produced an outstanding talent after all this time. If anyone here knows him, it would be best to go and persuade him."

Just as the earthly immortals were engaged in heated discussions, Eldrin had already returned to his lotus throne.

Elder Tianyuan, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but advise, "Brother Guixu, though this spiritual root is exceptional, 1 should not act with undue haste."

"Given our current cultivation level, the most pressing matter at hand is to break through to the mid-stage Earth Immortal realm."

"Thank you for the reminder, fellow cultivator, but I have my own plans."

Eldrin nodded, acknowledging the wisdom in the words of the Sky Abyss Daoist.

For Earth Immortals like them who had opened more than 9 celestial layers, the foremost priority after breaking through to the Earth Immortal realm was to rapidly enhance their cultivation base.

It would be best to cultivate 1's cultivation base to the Great Perfection of the Earth Immortal realm, or even the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm, before the next Dao Tribulation arrives. Only then would 1 be qualified to contend for the opportunities within the Dao Tribulation.

Now, with only 1,000,000 years remaining until the next Heavenly Tribulation, it had become impossible to cultivate to the Great Perfection stage of the Earth Immortal realm within a million years. Even reaching the late stage of Earth Immortal would be exceedingly difficult.

Therefore, their goal was to cultivate at least to the Mid-stage Earth Immortal realm before the Dao Calamity.

At that time, their combat prowess would rival that of late-stage Earth Immortals. Even when facing a full-circle Earth Immortal's assault, they would possess some capacity for self-preservation. Only then would they hold greater hope of surviving the Heavenly Tribulation of Dao.

In such circumstances, the wisest course of action was to purchase vast quantities of Immortal Origin and various cultivation resources. Only through this approach could 1's cultivation advance by leaps and bounds, swiftly breaking through to the middle stage of Earth Immortal realm.

And those Earth Immortals who had cultivated to the middle stage of Earth Immortal realm possessed a certain degree of self-preservation ability.

Then they would possess the capability to contend for certain opportunities, and if the opportunity proved substantial enough, they might even cultivate to the late-stage Earth Immortal realm before the great tribulation.

An Earth Immortal who has opened the 9 Heavens, once they step into the late stage of Earth Immortal cultivation, their combat prowess essentially touches the threshold of the Great Perfection realm. Even amidst the Great Tribulation, they would be qualified to seize the opportunity for further advancement.

Thus, in the eyes of Daoist Tianyuan, the most pressing matter was to swiftly advance his cultivation to the Earth Immortal (Cultivation Realm) mid-stage. Only by gaining an early advantage could he maintain a continuous lead, thereby seizing greater opportunities.

However, he was unaware that Eldrin's circumstances differed from theirs.

Eldrin had opened up 13 celestial heavens, a realm far vaster than the 9 heavens of earthly immortals. Advancing his cultivation required the consumption of resources on a vastly grander scale.

Under such circumstances, the time required for Eldrin (Person Name) to break through to the Middle Earth Immortal realm would be far longer than theirs.

Even if Eldrin were to exchange all the resources spent on purchasing the spiritual root and Primordial Chaos Qi for immortal essence and spiritual materials, he would likely only reach the fourth or fifth level of the Earth Immortal realm at most.

Moreover, even with these resources, Eldrin estimated it would take him 3 to 4 100 1000 years to cultivate to the fourth or fifth level of the Earth Immortal realm.

Once Eldrin reached the fourth or fifth level of Earth Immortal cultivation, the absence of various spiritual treasures would cause his cultivation speed to drastically decline.

For the world within Eldrin was far too vast. Without external aids, relying solely on the immortal spiritual energy of this blessed land would likely require 5 100 1000 years before he could advance even a single step further.
