Chapter 1425 : Pure Yang Fire Silkworm Thread

Eldrin also nodded, though he did not speak immediately.

He paused in brief contemplation before speaking. "Forget the Yang Universe; even the Yin Universe alone won't be easily dealt with."

"Right now, the priority is to make preparations and seize the Netherworld Small Universe first."

"Very well."

The Ancient Ruins Yin Lord gave a nod and looked at Eldrin. "Regarding the array flags, I must trouble you with this matter."

After bidding farewell to Old Ruins Yinjun and Tianyuan Daoren, Eldrin returned to Verdant Chariot Mountain and recounted the experiences of his journey to Lyra and the others.

After hearing this, Lyra (Person Name) slightly furrowed her brow and said, "This underworld microcosm holds potential for strategizing, but the mortal realm microcosm is far too vast and boundless."

"Given our current strength, attempting to covet the Primordial Artifact of the Cosmos would be far too perilous."

Eldrin also understood this point and spoke up, "To even conceive of plotting for the Yang Realm Minor Universe, both you and I must at least possess mid-stage Earth Immortal cultivation."

"As long as my cultivation can reach the mid-stage of Earth Immortal realm, I will barely be able to activate the Taiyi Thunderous Abyss Myriad Tribulations Sword. By then, I might possess the confidence to intervene in a battle between Half-Step Celestial Immortals."

At this point, Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly as he said, "Moreover, we can join forces with the Glazed Divine Lord from both inside and out to jointly pursue the treasure."

Upon hearing this, the group couldn't help but pause in mild astonishment.

If relying solely on their own strength to seize the treasure of the universe’s origin was nothing but a fool’s dream, then with the addition of Glazed Divine Lord, there truly existed a sliver of possibility.

As long as the Glazed Divine Lord cooperated with him, and with the grand formation they had laid in the Netherworld Microcosmos to buy time, it was truly possible for them to escape with the treasure in the end.

At this thought, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) couldn't help but nod and said, "With the Divine Lord's cultivation level, if you cooperate with us, there might indeed be a sliver of opportunity."

"Indeed." Qing Ji (Person Name) also nodded slightly, a faint smile gracing her lips. "Taking a 10-1000-step retreat, even if we cannot obtain the Cosmic Primordial Treasure (Magic Treasure), 1 must presume the Yang-Phase Miniature Universe (Realm) holds no scarcity of treasures."

"Let us join forces to seize some vital treasures and bring them out from the Netherworld Microcosm. That would be far better than letting those cave heavens scrape off layers of our skin."

Seeing that everyone supported the idea, Eldrin spoke up, "Then our top priority is to seize the Nether Miniature Universe. Otherwise, all our plans will come to nothing."

Lyra’s eyes flickered slightly, and she replied with a light laugh, “It just so happens that we plan to purchase some Heaven-Splitting Qi. Let’s take this opportunity to gather the materials for setting up the formation as well.”

"By the way, if we're not purchasing Primordial Qi in the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea, where do we plan to acquire it?"

Eldrin (Person Name) pondered briefly before responding after a moment, "The Pure Yang Celestial Realm!"

The Pure Yang Heaven, much like the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, stands as 1 of the 30-3 Heavens within the Vast Azure Immortal Domain, counted among the 6 Western Celestial Realms.

Eldrin (Person Name) had been an immortal for many years. Since his cultivation had broken through to the Earth Immortal realm, he had gained considerable understanding of the 6 Western Celestial Domains.

According to Eldrin (Person Name), the 6 western celestial domains of the Qingcang Immortal Realm were the Pure Yang Celestial Domain, the Western Extreme Celestial Domain, the Abyssal Inferno Sea, the Great Desert Sands Domain, the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, and the 100 Spirits Ancestral Domain.

Within these 6 heavenly realms, the levels of power varied greatly.

Among them, the Western Extremity Heaven Domain was the most unique. In the westernmost reaches of the Vast Azure Immortal Domain, a Guardian True Spirit defended the Chaos Fetal Membrane, its strength utterly unfathomable. The Pure Yang Heaven Domain stood as 1 of the 2 supreme human sanctuaries within the Vast Azure Immortal Domain. It was said that an ancient immortal of immense power suppressed the cosmos and established the Pure Yang Cave Heaven, a force that commanded awe throughout the immortal realms, making it 1 of the paramount rulers of the Vast Azure Immortal Domain.

The Nether Abyssal Sea of Torment goes without saying. This lineage commands 7 cave heavens that anchor the heavens and earth. Though each individual cave heaven's power falls short of the Pure Yang Cave Heaven, their combined might surpasses even it.

The Great Desert Heaven-Sand Domain is said to be the territory of the Buddhist sects—the most impoverished land within the Vast Azure Immortal Domain, where resources are even scarcer than in the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea.

And that 100 Spirits Ancestral Domain was said to be the territory of the 100 Spirits Immortal Clan.

Before the 3 races of humans, demons, and gods, the 100 Spirits Immortal Clan had no choice but to unite as 1. It was said that 4 100 Clans Paradises had jointly occupied this celestial domain, and their strength was not to be underestimated.

Among the 6 Celestial Domains of the Western Heaven, the Pure Yang Celestial Domain stood as the most prosperous and stable of all.

"As a human, the foremost trading destination is none other than this Pure Yang Heavenly Realm."

Eldrin stepped into the Pure Sun Celestial Realm, sensing its bustling prosperity. A faint ripple of contemplation passed between his brows.

On this journey, he concealed his identity and arrived alone at the Pure Yang Heavenly Realm. Before long, he found himself within the Pure Yang Immortal City.

Seeing that there were still several 100 years until the Exchange Assembly, Eldrin went directly to the Pure Sun Pavilion.

This Pure Sun Pavilion was a shop operated by the Pure Sun Grotto-Heaven, renowned throughout the entire Pure Sun Sea Region. Its treasures could be considered utterly comprehensive.

After Eldrin (Person Name) ascended the Pure Sun Pavilion, an Earth Immortal (Cultivation Realm) steward soon arrived to receive him.

This person was an elder of the Pure Sun Blessed Land. Upon seeing Eldrin (Person Name), he smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, your visit today—might I ask what you’ve come to acquire?"

Without delay, Eldrin stated directly, "I have come to purchase some Pure Yang Fire Silkworm Thread."

"So it was this object."

The man nodded, showing no sign of surprise.

The Pure Yang Firethread is an exceptionally rare treasure of pure yang nature, yet it is a specialty unique to the Pure Yang Grotto-Heaven.

Within the Pure Sun Grotto-Heaven grew a ninth-order Primordial Ancient Tree—the Pure Sun Fire Mulberry. Relying on this ancient tree, the grotto-heaven nurtured vast quantities of Pure Sun Fire Silkworms.

These fire silkworms were of no low grade; among them were many seventh and eighth-order ancient silkworms, and there was even a single ninth-order Taiyi Immortal Silkworm living within.

Relying on these Pure Yang Fire Silkworms, a vast quantity of Pure Yang Fire Silk is produced each year. This fire silk is the finest material for weaving immortal robes and treasure banners, attracting countless immortals who travel thousands of miles to acquire it.

At this thought, the manager smiled and said, "I still have some of this Pure Yang Fire Silkworm Thread. How many portions would you like?"

Eldrin's eyes lit up, and he immediately spoke up, "I need 9 portions of eighth-stage Pure Yang Fire Silkworm Thread. I wonder if you have enough in your possession, fellow daoist?" "9 portions?"

The manager's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "This eighth-level Pure Yang Fire Silkworm Thread costs 82,000 Immortal Sources per portion. Since you're buying in bulk, I can offer you a discounted price."

"Let's round it down to a total of 720,000 Immortal Sources, how does that sound?"

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) slightly furrowed his brow.

The price of a low-grade Heaven-Opening Treasure typically hovers around 100,000 Immortal Sources, yet they're charging 80,000 Immortal Sources for a single material—hardly what 1 would call reasonable.

After all, there remains a certain probability of failure when forging a low-grade Heaven-Opening Treasure, not to mention the labor costs involved in crafting a Supreme Heaven-Opening Treasure.

Thus, within the immortal realm, the prices of various artifact-forging materials generally hover around 50% of the value of equivalent-grade immortal treasures, with most not exceeding 60%.

The other party's price, a full 80-2 percent, could be said to be exceedingly steep.

However, upon careful reflection, the Pure Sun Grotto-Heaven housed no small number of mighty figures. With the capabilities of a Grade 8 top-tier artifact refiner—or even a Grade 9 artifact refiner—the likelihood of failure in forging a lower-grade Heaven-Opening Treasure was virtually nonexistent.
