Chapter 1504 : A Divine Bargain in the Blazing Abode

Eldrin Chen felt a gentle warmth in his heart. Zixuan the Daoist's replication of the Ancient Scroll of World-Opening had cost him nothing, and the Heaven-Opening Marvel left behind were tangible, substantial resources.

As for taking the World-Opening Spiritual Root, it was likely prepared for his disciples and followers. Thinking this, Eldrin Chen nodded and said, "As you wish, Elder Brother."

After dividing Zixuan the Daoist's treasures, Eldrin Chen then distributed rewards based on merit, allocating a portion of the gains to the various Fellow Daoist within the Immortal Alliance, bringing this matter to a temporary conclusion.

Once everything was settled, Eldrin Chen re-established the Formation for the Flowing Fire Abode of Bliss and then turned to Separated Flame Deity, saying, "You contributed greatly this time, Divine Lord. What would you ask for?"

"Will you give me that Crimson Firmament Divine Iron?"

Separated Flame Deity looked at Eldrin Chen, a faint, knowing smile playing on his lips. Eldrin Chen's expression turned slightly awkward, and he fell into a thoughtful silence.

Seeing this, Separated Flame Deity finally spoke again. "In the future, as we cultivate together within this Flowing Fire Abode of Bliss, I hope you will look upon me favorably."

Eldrin Chen offered a slight smile and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture. "It is I who should seek your favor, Divine Lord."

Separated Flame Deity did not dwell on the topic. His expression calm, he stated plainly, "With the aid of this PeerlessBlessed Land, I can attempt a breakthrough to the Taiyi Realm within a hundred thousand years or so."

"When the time comes, I may need to ask for your assistance in guarding my tribulation." Hearing this, Eldrin Chen's eyes flickered with understanding, and he gave a slow, acknowledging nod. Experience the full epic at audio-novel-dot-com.

The Separated Flame Deity entered the Flowing Fire Abode of Bliss to cultivate, using it to break through to the Taiyi Realm [a profound stage of cultivation]. Both of them had sworn a Heavenly Dao Oath [a binding vow sworn upon the Heavenly Dao, the cosmic order].

Coupled with Eldrin Chen's character, in the eyes of the Separated Flame Deity, Eldrin Chen could be considered a rare and trustworthy individual.

Furthermore, the Mountain Guardian Grand Formation [a powerful defensive array] of this Flowing Fire Abode of Bliss was controlled by Eldrin Chen's hand. The Separated Flame Deity held only a minor portion of its authority. Thus, Eldrin Chen was essentially the only candidate to guard her path.

Thinking this, Eldrin Chen said, "If the Divine Lord [a title for a powerful deity] requires it, I will naturally do my utmost." The Separated Flame Deity gave a slight nod and said no more.

With this matter concluded, Eldrin Chen returned to the Abyssal Abode of Bliss, and his days settled back into their usual rhythm of cultivation.

In the following years, he continuously refined the Galaxy Star-Sand Pill [a potent elixir for cultivation] to enhance his cultivation base. Thus, time flowed swiftly past for over eighty thousand years.

Until this day, when Eldrin Chen opened his eyes within the Seclusion Chamber, a look of relief washing over his features. "The Earth Immortal Sixth Layer [the sixth stage of the Earth Immortal realm] is achieved."

Sensing the increasingly vast and mighty Mana [the spiritual energy cultivated and wielded by practitioners] within his body, Eldrin Chen could not help but slowly release a deep breath.

With this breakthrough to the Earth Immortal Sixth Layer, the Mana within him surged once more by twenty percent, subtly increasing his combat prowess by a fraction.

Although his Heaven and Earth Origin [the foundational life force and spiritual essence of a cultivator] had not undergone a qualitative transformation, Eldrin Chen estimated that if he were to wield the Supreme Unity Thunder Abyss Myriad Tribulations Sword now, it would at most completely drain his Mana, without depleting his Heaven and Earth Origin.

"With only twenty thousand years remaining, breaking through to the Seventh Level Earth Immortal is now impossible."

"It is time to emerge from seclusion and make the final preparations for the great war to enter the Minor Universe."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, letting out a slow breath before stepping out from the Seclusion Chamber. Upon exiting, he found that Lyra Jiang and the others had also concluded their own secluded cultivation.

Their cultivation progress had been slightly faster, having reached the Earth Immortal Sixth Layer realm some years earlier than he had. However, attempting to step into the Seventh Level Earth Immortal within a mere twenty thousand years was also a feat for which time was insufficient.

As Eldrin Chen emerged, he noticed Verdant Consort tending to Spirit Medicine within the Immortal Herb Garden. Approaching for a closer look, he inquired softly, "Are you cultivating the North Abyss Flower [a rare spiritual flower said to bloom in the depths of the northern abyss]?" "Indeed."

Verdant Consort nodded with a gentle smile. "In recent years, we have broken through to the Earth Immortal Sixth Layer, yet our preparations for the 『『『Seventh Level Earth Immortal|Cultivation Realm Names|new』』』 [the seventh and most profound stage of the Earth Immortal realm] remain insufficient. Therefore, I procured some seeds and decided to cultivate a batch myself."

Eldrin Chen nodded in understanding, recalling the origins of this South Separation Flower [a spiritual flower imbued with the essence of the southern fire element].

This 『『『South Separation Flower|Herb Names|new』』』 was a type of 『『『Heaven-Opening Immortal Medicine|Herb Names|new』』』 [a legendary grade of spiritual herb capable of assisting in opening profound cultivation bottlenecks] and served as one of the primary ingredients for the "『『『Four Marvels Heaven Pill|Pill Names|new』』』 [a supreme elixir refined from the essences of the four cardinal directions]."

That 『『『Four Marvels Heaven Pill|Pill Names|new』』』 was a treasured 『『『Pill Formula|Pill Names|new』』』 [a recipe for refining a specific type of cultivation pill] held within the Flowing Fire Star Palace. This formula required gathering four types of 『『『Heaven-Splitting Rare Flower|Herb Names|new』』』 [extremely rare spiritual flowers, each representing a cardinal direction's elemental essence]: the 『『『Southern Ember|Item Names|new』』』 [representing the fire essence of the south], the North Abyss [representing the water essence of the north], the 『『『Eastern Azure|Item Names|new』』』 [representing the wood essence of the east], and the 『『『Western Metal|Item Names|new』』』 [representing the metal essence of the west]. Only then could the pill be successfully concocted.

Consuming this pill could greatly enhance one's Power of Heaven and Earth's Four Poles [a divine ability drawing power from the four cardinal poles of the world], assist the Heaven and Earth Origin [the foundational origin energy of a cultivator's internal world] in undergoing an ultimate metamorphosis, help an Earth Immortal Progenitor [a cultivator at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm] reopen the bottleneck of the Seventh Level Earth Immortal, and allow them to step into the realm of a Late Stage Earth Immortal.

It is a pity that the four types of Heaven-Splitting Rare Flower required for this pill are all exceptionally precious, and the Chen Immortal Clan has not yet managed to gather a full cauldron's worth of Immortal Herbs.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen could not help but sigh and say, "Even if we plant them now, it will be too late for them to mature.

"If we truly wish to refine the Four Marvels Heaven Pill, we must pay more attention to the Barter Convention."

"I understand," Verdant Consort nodded slightly and then asked, "Now that you, my Husband, have emerged from seclusion, are you preparing to enter the Yang Plane Microcosm?"

"Mmm."

Eldrin Chen nodded in affirmation and then spoke, "I intend to refine an External Elixir [a powerful pill or elixir cultivated outside the body, often with immense effects]." For more chapters, visit audio~novel.com for the complete novel.

Having said this, Eldrin Chen sought out Lyra Jiang and accompanied her to the Flowing Flame Abode of Bliss. Upon arriving at the Flowing Flame Abode of Bliss, his first act was to pay a visit to the Separated Flame Deity.

The Separated Flame Deity was in deep cultivation. Seeing the two visitors, he inquired, "For what purpose do you seek me today?"

Eldrin Chen pondered for a moment before speaking, "I recently obtained a rare treasure, but I lack full confidence in my ability to refine it into an External Elixir.

"I have heard that you, Divine Lord, are also a highly skilled Artificer [a master of crafting magical treasures and artifacts]. Therefore, I wished to ask for your assistance, Divine Lord." "Oh?"

The Separated Flame Deity [a powerful deity associated with flame] paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "If even your mastery of artifact forging cannot craft it, could it be that you intend to forge the Crimson Firmament Divine Iron [a legendary, supremely hard celestial metal]?"

"Not that," Eldrin Chen hesitated briefly before continuing, "This material is extraordinary. We must ask the Divine Lord [a title for a powerful deity or immortal] to keep it a secret for us."

"An extraordinary material?"

The Separated Flame Deity's gaze flickered thoughtfully. "I still need to borrow your blessed land for cultivation and will require your aid to transcend my tribulation. Naturally, I would not divulge such a secret."

Eldrin Chen nodded in agreement and retrieved the Inner Core [the condensed spiritual essence of a powerful beast] of the Primordial Nether Dragon [an ancient and immensely powerful dragon from the Netherworld] from his sleeve.

With a single glance, the Separated Flame Deity's pupils contracted slightly in surprise. "An Eighth Rank Supreme Grade Primordial Nether Dragon Pearl [a dragon pearl of the highest purity from a Primordial Nether Dragon]? When did you, Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a fellow cultivator], slay a Grand Unity Realm True Dragon [a True Dragon that has reached the Grand Unity cultivation realm]?"

Eldrin Chen did not mention the affairs of the Yin Plane Microcosm [a miniature universe within the Yin Plane, the realm of the dead]. He simply stated calmly, "By a fortunate coincidence, I joined forces with others to slay one, and thus obtained this Dragon Pearl."

The Separated Flame Deity was inwardly shaken, his gaze deepening as he looked at Eldrin Chen. "I have no certainty of forging this alone," he admitted. "However, if we join forces, we might dare to attempt it."

"Then you have my deepest thanks."

A wave of relief washed over Eldrin Chen, and his heart lightened with hope.

To be fair, with Eldrin Chen's skill in artifact forging, the likelihood of successfully refining the Primordial Nether Dragon Pearl into an External Elixir [a powerful pill cultivated outside the body, often used for breakthroughs] was only around thirty percent.

If aided by the Supreme Grade Fire Vein [a top-tier spiritual energy source aligned with the fire element] of the Flowing Flame Abode of Bliss, which would resolve the issue of insufficient Mana [the spiritual energy or power used to fuel cultivation techniques and forge artifacts], his chances of success would rise to roughly fifty percent.

Yet, a mere fifty percent probability remained far too perilous a gamble. It was for this reason he had summoned Lyra Jiang and the Separated Flame Deity [a powerful deity associated with the element of fire] to assist him. For the best reading experience, visit audio-novel*com.
