Chapter 1432 : Golden Sha Blessed Land

The Taibai Grotto-Heaven was established by the great sword immortal sect of the human race, pursuing the path of ultimate offensive prowess.

The Radiant Golden Grotto-Heaven was forged by the Radiant Golden Celestial. It was said this deity possessed cultivation so profound it could startle the heavens and shake the earth—a supreme being who had attained 3 Celestial Immortal Dao Fruits.

Thus, there were 3 supreme grotto-heavens, yet the White Tiger Clan resided foremost among these 3, a testament to the sheer might of the White Tiger Clan of the Western Polar Heavenly Domain.

The Tiger's Roar Blessed Land within the Western Geng Xuan Mountain Range served as a branch lineage of the White Tiger Clan, governed by a formidable expert at the half-step Celestial Immortal realm.

Contemplating the might of the Western Geng Mystic Mountain Range, Eldrin murmured thoughtfully, "This range teems with countless powerful demonic beings. We must proceed with caution and avoid provoking overly formidable entities."

Upon hearing this, the women nodded slightly and continued following him westward toward the Xigeng Taixuan Mountain Range.

This mountain range was truly vast beyond measure, making it no easy task to locate the Western Radiance Tiger within its expanse.

Everyone concealed their auras and stepped into the Endless Mountains.

No 1 knew how long he had walked before Eldrin finally came to a halt before a secluded cave abode.

From the cave abode emerged an ethereally beautiful immortal, who, upon seeing the group, bowed gracefully and said, "Fuling pays respects to the ancestors."

"Hmm."

Eldrin gave a slight nod, a satisfied expression gracing his features.

The young maiden before him was Chen Fuling, a rising star from the lineage of the second son Chen Xiandao. As a dual-Dao Fruit immortal, she excelled in tracking and escape arts—the very 1 who had uncovered traces of the Western Geng Grand Tiger.

At the sight of Chen Fu Ling, Eldrin spoke, "How goes the situation?"

Chen Fuling shook his head and said, "The Western Geng Grand Tiger leaves no traces to follow. With my current cultivation level, it's nearly impossible to track him down. All I've managed to find are these few remnants he left behind."

As he spoke, Chen Fu Ling took out a strand of fur and said, "This strand was shed during the fierce battle between the Western Gold Supreme Tiger and the Great Malevolence. I wonder if we can deduce its current location through divination."

Eldrin took the fur and examined it carefully for a moment before smiling. "This indeed carries the aura of the Western Metal Supreme Tiger. With this artifact, we finally have some certainty in tracking down the Western Metal Supreme Tiger."

At these words, Eldrin merely gave a slight nod and said to Chen Fuling with a smile, "Well done. You may return to the clan to claim your reward now."

"Many thanks, Ancestor."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fu Ling immediately bowed, unable to conceal his excitement as he spoke.

This harvest from seeking the Western Geng Grand Tiger would provide her with sufficient resources for the next 100 1000 years of cultivation.

After Chen Fu Ling departed, Eldrin gazed at the strands of hair in his hand and immediately began channeling the Great Deduction of Yin-Yang and Celestial Stars to commence his calculations.

Guided by the Great Evolution Yin-Yang Star Dao, he led the group into the depths of the void.

Soon, they arrived deep within the Endless Mountains, atop a towering mountain range.

"Approximately, this should be the area."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, once more urging the Great Yin-Yang Stellar Dao into motion.

After continuous deductions, he finally spoke, "That Western Metal Supreme Tiger has cultivated to the late-stage Earth Immortal realm and possesses the ability to obscure heavenly secrets to some extent."

"Even with a single strand of hair and the aid of the Heavenly Secrets Treasure, I still cannot deduce its precise location."

Lyra nodded and then spoke, "An approximate location should suffice. We'll conceal our auras and explore this area."

"Very well."

The celestial realm was immeasurably vast, and the Western Pole Celestial Domain differed from the Sea of Returning Qi Divine Abyss.

Within the Sea of Divine Mist of the West, a staggering 90-9 percent of its expanse consists of vast, uninhabited ocean waters. These seas are primarily inhabited by sea beasts of limited intelligence, while the true cultivation grounds for various races lie scattered across the archipelagic regions.

Just like the hundreds of sea domains in Liuchuan Baihai, the combined area of all the immortal islands and landmasses amounts to less than 1-thousandth of the vast, empty ocean.

The Western Polar Sky Domain was entirely composed of vast, desolate lands, making the search for a single ferocious beast an immensely arduous task.

They pinpointed the location of the Western Zenith Tiger to a remote corner within the Western Zenith Profound Mountain Range.

Yet this small corner of the world was boundlessly vast—Eldrin estimated it to be roughly hundreds of times larger than the entire Abyssal Sea.

Finding the Western Metal Tiger in these vast mountains was no easy task to begin with, let alone having to cautiously evade all manner of demonic tribes along the way.

Eldrin concealed the group with spatial laws, continuing his search across the vast primordial wilderness. In what seemed like a blink, 3 1000 years had slipped by.

Just as Eldrin was running out of patience, traces of the Western Metal Great Tiger were finally discovered.

"What potent Gengjin metal energy."

Sensing the valley before him, Eldrin couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.

Before them lay a bottomless valley, and deep within it gaped a massive cavern. The cave brimmed with the sharp aura of Geng Metal, from which a familiar presence radiated.

That aura clearly belonged to Taihu.

Everyone was taken aback by the sight, and Lyra couldn't help but remark, "There must be a metal-attributed blessed land here."

Eldrin gave a slight nod, yet a faint frown creased his brow as he said, "Within this blessed land, there seems to be a powerful baleful aura."

Seeing this, Seraphina Qu remarked, "The Taihu is 1 of the primordial ancient spirits—a lineage of White Tigers devoid of sentient intellect. They cultivate their power by absorbing metallic killing energy, so it is hardly surprising to find 1 practicing in a place where such baleful forces converge."

Hearing her words, Eldrin said nothing more.

The so-called Primordial Desolate Spirits were a 100 rare and formidable primordial entities of antiquity that existed between heaven and earth.

Like the Boundless Black Serpent, the Western Geng Grand Tiger, the Primordial Desolate Dragon, the Northern Sea Mystic Tortoise, and so on—all were born from the primordial chaotic energies of heaven and earth. They possessed no innate intelligence, and only a rare few among these ancient desolate spirits could ever awaken to sentience.

Just like the Great Barren Sky Crocodile clan, they gained sentience due to some fortuitous encounter.

Once endowed with spiritual awareness, these primordial ancient spirits became no different from the demon tribes and the myriad races. Unwilling to let their intellect be tainted by baleful energy again, they ceased cultivating by harnessing the world's sinister forces, thus shedding much of their primordial ferocity.

The training ground of the Western Metal Tiger before them remained steeped in baleful energy, clearly still a ferocious tiger devoid of spiritual intellect.

At this thought, Eldrin cautioned, "Although the Western Zenith Tigers lack sentient intellect, as primordial spirits of antiquity, their bodies are saturated with the malignant energies of heaven and earth. Their combat prowess surpasses even that of White Tigers of the same cultivation realm by a notable margin."

"When the great battle commences later, you need only provide support from the sidelines. Lyra and I shall personally hold them at bay."

"Very well."

The women nodded in unison, their expressions turning grave.

Seeing this, Eldrin said no more. Without hesitation, he stepped forward and crossed into this blessed paradise.

No sooner had Eldrin stepped into this blessed paradise than his brow furrowed slightly, a trace of solemnity coloring his expression.

This so-called blessed land before him was less a paradise and more a den of malefic energy and poisonous miasma.

The miasma and malignant energies within were exceptionally dense. If an ordinary Earth Immortal Patriarch were to cultivate here for an extended period, they would likely soon suffer corruption from the sinister energies, leading to a drastic alteration in their temperament.

Over endless ages, there was even the risk of 1's soul being corrupted by the baleful energy, becoming as mindless as the primeval desolation spirits.
