Chapter 1205 : The Immortal's Priceless Bargain

With his cultivation at the Ascendant Immortal 8th Tier, his strength was not considered formidable among those in the Late Ascendant Immortal Realm. A single Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier cultivator could rival two beings of his caliber.

However, if the Six Stars Immortal could borrow a single Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure [a pinnacle artifact of immense power wielded by high-ranking immortals], he would be capable of defeating a top-tier Immortal of the Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier within ten moves.

Having roamed the Immortal Domain for nearly forty thousand years, Eldrin Chen possessed no small number of Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure. Currently, he held five such treasures: the Primal Shadow Limitless Pearl, the Primal Radiance Limitless Pearl, the Crimson Dragon Sky-Scorching Sword, the Crimson Flame Golden Scale Armor, and the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Cauldron.

It could be said that the greater part of Eldrin Chen's current renown and combat prowess stemmed from these five Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure, so he understood their formidable power intimately.

Among these five treasures, all but the Dragon's Might Black Gold Cauldron could be readily deployed. The cauldron lacked a Treasure Spirit [the sentient consciousness inhabiting a high-grade magical artifact] and, functioning as a Formation Artifact [an artifact specifically designed to anchor and power grand formations], was permanently stationed atop Green Chariot Mountain, making it difficult to utilize elsewhere.

The Six Stars Immortal's visit was precisely to borrow one of these Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure, hoping to secure a spot for comprehending the Path Principles Celestial Stele [a mystical stele inscribed with profound insights into the fundamental laws of cultivation].

Contemplating this, Eldrin Chen offered a measured smile. "A Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure represents the foundational strength of our clan," he said. "It is not a matter I can decide alone, nor one from which I can casually lend."

"How about this, Elder Brother? Please wait a moment. I shall discuss this with my wives and inform you of our decision once it is made. Would that be acceptable?"

The Six Stars Immortal nodded in understanding, a faint smile gracing his lips. "Lending out such Heavy Treasures [pivotal artifacts of immense strategic importance] indeed warrants careful deliberation," he conceded. "This old man is content to wait here for your answer."

"Then I must trouble you to wait a little longer, Elder Brother." For uninterrupted reading, go to AUDIO-NOVEL.COM.

After arranging for Six Stars Immortal to be properly hosted, Eldrin Chen returned to his cultivation abode and summoned Exquisite Jiang, Verdant Consort, and the others to gather there.

He explained the entire situation to them. After listening, Exquisite Jiang stated directly, "Six Stars Immortal is Worthy Longevity's father-in-law. Furthermore, the cooperation regarding the hidden spiritual vein in the Returning Abyss Sea still requires his involvement. Lending him a treasure on this occasion is only fitting."

Upon hearing this, everyone present gave a slight nod of agreement.

Verdant Consort pondered for a moment before speaking, "The Path Principles Celestial Stele is a rare supreme treasure of the Immortal Path [the primary cultivation methodology for achieving immortality]. It can aid an Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality through cultivation] in comprehending the profound mysteries of Path Principles Comprehension [the deep understanding of cultivation laws and truths]. We certainly should contend for it."

"Well said."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod. His initial hesitation in agreeing immediately was precisely due to this consideration.

Now, with Verdant Consort bringing it up, Eldrin Chen began to calculate, "Within our clan, those capable of wielding a Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure [a treasure of the highest rank usable by Immortals] and competing for the Path Principles Celestial Stele are limited to myself, Exquisite, and Verdant Consort."

"With my current strength, I have full confidence in securing a spot even without the aid of a Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure."

"Therefore, you two should have the first choice among these Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure."

Upon hearing this, both Verdant Consort and Exquisite Jiang nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

A Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure [the pinnacle of enchanted artifacts, capable of channeling profound cosmic laws] contains a wisp of Rule Power [the fundamental principles that govern reality]. To barely activate its might, one requires at least the Immortal Essence [the purified energy core of an immortal] of the Late Ascendant Immortal Realm [the advanced stage of the Ascendant Immortal cultivation level].

Within the clan, the only one whose cultivation has reached the Late Ascendant Immortal Realm is Eldrin Chen.

Exquisite Jiang currently possesses cultivation at the Ascendant Immortal 6th Tier [the sixth minor stage within the Ascendant Immortal realm]. Furthermore, her Supreme Lunar Immortal Body [a legendary physique attuned to the power of the supreme moon] has been cultivated to its grand completion. She is but a single step away from breaking through to the Ascendant Immortal 7th Tier.

Even though she has not yet broken through, her exceptionally profound foundation grants her spiritual power [the energy cultivated by immortals] comparable to that of the Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier. Naturally, this is sufficient to activate a Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure.

Verdant Consort is also at the Ascendant Immortal 6th Tier. Her foundation is slightly less profound, yet, bolstered by the foundation of her Great Encompassing Path Fruit [a supreme cultivation achievement representing mastery over a vast cosmic principle], her spiritual power already approaches the domain of the Ascendant Immortal 8th Tier. She, too, can activate a Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure.

"With our innate talent and foundations, if we can Path Principles Comprehension [comprehend the underlying principles of our chosen cultivation path] before the Celestial Stele [a mysterious monument said to contain profound cosmic truths], we will likely face no significant obstacles before reaching the Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier," Exquisite Jiang stated calmly.

She then produced the Primal Radiance Limitless Pearl [a supreme-grade treasure of boundless primal light] and said, "With this treasure to protect me, I am sufficiently equipped."

Seeing this, Verdant Consort took the Primal Shadow Limitless Pearl [a supreme-grade treasure of boundless primal shadow]. With a gentle smile, she said, "You should keep one of the remaining two Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure for yourself, to prepare for any unforeseen circumstances."

Eldrin Chen did not speak further on the matter. Instead, he smiled and said, "I will go and give Six Stars Immortal [an immortal associated with the six stars constellation] my answer."

Exiting the secluded cultivation chamber, Eldrin Chen returned to the Great Hall. There, he found Six Stars Immortal, who had been waiting with visible anxiety.

Although the Six Stars Immortal [an immortal whose power is associated with six celestial stars] had not waited long, seeing Eldrin Chen return filled him with unbearable anxiety. "How did it go?" he asked urgently.

Eldrin Chen offered no verbal reply, merely smiling as he drew from his sleeve a single, resplendent Immortal Sword [a divine blade forged for and wielded by immortals].

"The Crimson Dragon Sky-Scorching Sword!"

The Six Stars Immortal's heart leaped, and a look of wild, unrestrained joy spread across his face.

This Crimson Dragon Sky-Scorching Sword was a supreme treasure of conquest, its power earth-shaking and heaven-rending, potent enough to slay even a peak Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality through cultivation] of the Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier [the ninth and highest tier of the Ascendant Immortal realm].

The Six Stars Immortal felt certain in his heart. With this treasure in hand, aside from those prodigies who had attained Dual Path Fruits [the cultivation achievement of mastering two distinct Dao paths] or even Three Path Fruits [the legendary achievement of mastering three distinct Dao paths], likely no peak Immortal of the Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier could stand as his match.

Thinking this, the Six Stars Immortal said with heartfelt delight, "My gratitude for lending this treasure is boundless. I shall surely repay this kindness richly in days to come."

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen gave a slight smile. "We are kin by marriage. There is no need for such formality between us."

The Six Stars Immortal also smiled. "Moonlight Veil is on the verge of her immortal ascension. As her father, I should offer my support. I shall bestow upon her another Immortal Treasure [a powerful artifact used by immortals] as a grand gift for her transcendence."

"..."

The two men shared wine and conversation atop Green Chariot Mountain for a full three days before the Six Stars Immortal finally departed, heading off with great delight to refine his newly acquired Crimson Dragon Sky-Scorching Sword.

After the Six Stars Immortal had left, Eldrin Chen did not linger. Instead, he flew directly to Void-Refining Immortal Island.

Upon arriving at Void-Refining Immortal Island, he was greeted by a female immortal clad in white robes. It was Freya Ji, an old friend of Exquisite Jiang.

Over ten thousand years ago, Freya Ji had successfully cultivated the Primal Shadow Immortal Body. She had then borrowed the Heart of Heaven Jade [a legendary jade that aids in comprehending profound truths] from the Chen Clan to assist her in Path Principles Comprehension [the deep meditation and study required to grasp the fundamental laws of cultivation]. Eldrin Chen, ever willing to see a good deed through to its end, had gifted her a full Jin-weight [one Jin-weight equals zero point five kilograms] of Immortal Grade Ancient Enlightenment Tea [a legendary tea that greatly enhances one's state of enlightenment and clarity of thought].

True to expectations, Freya Ji did not disappoint. She attained enlightenment in the Path Principles Power [the fundamental power derived from comprehending the laws of the universe] of Snow Soul, achieving a breakthrough to become an immortal with Dual Path Fruits [a rare and powerful foundation where an immortal has mastered two distinct cultivation paths]. She was now a peerless immortal consort of boundless potential.

"Fellow Daoist Chen."

Seeing Eldrin Chen approach, Freya Ji offered a slight bow of greeting.

Eldrin Chen nodded in return and asked with a smile, "Is the Patriarch within the mountain?"

"He is in secluded cultivation within the Hinter Peaks."

Freya Ji paused for a moment, then quickly understood whom Eldrin Chen was inquiring about.

The Void-Refining Immortal of Void-Refining Immortal Island was the final cultivator from the Purple Seal Realm to ascend to immortality before the outbreak of the Demonic Abyss Cataclysm.

Furthermore, the Void-Refining Immortal hailed from the Ji Clan and was their third member to achieve ascension. Revered as the Third Ancestor of the Ji Clan, the clan's supreme treasure, the Immortal Refining Furnace, was a legacy he left behind.

Freya Ji is the fourth Immortal of the Ji Clan, a direct descendant of the Void-Refining Immortal's lineage. After her ascension, she naturally took her place within the Path-Field of Void-Refining Island.

Hearing that the Void-Refining Immortal was in seclusion, Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod. "Take me to see him," he said.

"Very well."

Freya Ji nodded and led Eldrin Chen towards the Hinter Peaks. Before long, they stood before the Void-Refining Immortal.

The Void-Refining Immortal was warming wine, seemingly having awaited their arrival for some time. Upon seeing Eldrin Chen, he poured him a cup and said, "Come, taste this wine of mine." Immerse yourself in the complete world at audio-novel[dot]com.
