Chapter 1461 : The Clan's Ascendant Legacy

Speaking of this, Eldrin Chen could not help but reflect on the changes within his clan.

In the blink of an eye, twenty thousand years had passed since the Great Tribulation. The lifespan of the first generation of Immortal [cultivators who have ascended to immortality] from the Chen Immortal Clan had already exceeded three hundred thousand years.

By now, the foundation and accumulated strength of the Chen Immortal Clan had undergone significant transformation.

It was only in recent years that the clan and the Immortal Alliance had fully digested the gains harvested from the Great Tribulation.

The initial cohort of Immortal had all cultivated a World-Opening Foundation [the foundational realm for creating one's own minor world], and many had even reached the level of Six Tribulations Immortal [an immortal who has survived six heavenly tribulations].

While the number of Earth Immortal [immortals anchored to and drawing power from the mortal world] had not increased, the clan now boasted over three hundred Immortal in total.

Among the clan's several Earth Immortal Patriarch, the four who had broken through earlier—Eldrin Chen, Verdant Consort, Exquisite Jiang, and Nyssa Qu—had all cultivated to the Third Level Earth Immortal realm.

Kael Chen, Ethan Chen, Energy Abyss Chen, along with Violet Consort Yan and Lila, had also reached the Second Level Earth Immortal Realm. It was estimated they would advance to the Third Level Earth Immortal within twenty to thirty thousand years.

Of course, at this stage, the Chen Immortal Clan had reached a bottleneck. To achieve another major breakthrough would require, at the very least, for Eldrin Chen to advance to the Middle Stage Earth Immortal realm.

And given the profoundness of Eldrin Chen's foundation, stepping into the Middle Stage Earth Immortal would still demand the consumption of vast resources. Your portal to cultivation novels: http://www . audio-novel.com.

With this thought, he pondered briefly before saying, "By my reckoning, the Barter Convention [a grand trade gathering held once every one hundred thousand years] is due to commence soon. We must not miss it this time."

Exquisite Jiang gave a slight nod and replied with a smile, "I have already prepared goods and materials worth three million Immortal Source [a high-purity form of spiritual energy used as currency and for cultivation by powerful immortals], along with some rare treasures of considerable value."

"Procuring over thirty vials of the Galaxy Star Sand Pill [an elixir refined from the essence of celestial sand, known to enhance one's connection to stellar energies] should be more than sufficient."

At this point, Exquisite Jiang paused thoughtfully again and added, "However, acquiring the Extreme Solar Flower [a legendary herb of pure yang essence, said to bloom only under the most intense sunlight] will likely still be beyond our means."

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen's eyes flickered with interest. The Extreme Solar Flower was an Eighth Rank High-Grade Immortal Herb [a plant of immense spiritual potency, used in crafting supreme elixirs]. When refined together with the Extreme Lunar Fruit [a fruit of pure yin essence, harvested under the full moon], it could be used to concoct the World-Opening-grade Immortal Pill [a pill of divine quality, capable of aiding in the creation or expansion of an inner world] known as the Polarity Dual Poles Pill [an elixir that harmonizes the opposing forces of yin and yang].

That Polarity Dual Poles Pill contained the power of the dual Polarity [the fundamental, opposing forces of yin and yang that underpin all existence] poles. If an Early-stage Earth Immortal Patriarch [a venerable leader of a clan or sect] consumed such a pill, it could rapidly stimulate the dual celestial lights within their Earth Immortal World [the nascent inner world cultivated by an Earth Immortal].

Once those dual celestial lights were ignited, they could save hundreds of thousands of years spent accumulating World's Origin [the primordial energy that forms the foundation of a world] and swiftly advance to the Middle Stage Earth Immortal realm.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen spoke up, "Do not worry. Over these years, through my collaboration with the Glazed Blessed Land [a renowned immortal sanctuary known for its alchemical prowess], I have refined a considerable number of External Elixir [pills specifically designed to be consumed by one's inner world to accelerate its growth]."

"Our Clan Treasury now holds a significant stockpile of these External Elixir. If I sell the majority of them to the Glazed Blessed Land, the Immortal Source I receive in return should be more than enough for our needs."

Having said this, Eldrin Chen prepared to depart for the Glazed Blessed Land. However, just before he left, a spirit talisman came flying to him. He took it and glanced at its message, his brow furrowing slightly in response.

Seeing this, Exquisite Jiang could not help but inquire, "What is the matter?"

Eldrin Chen handed her the spirit talisman and then spoke, "According to the letter from Fellow Daoist Heaven Wind, it seems someone is watching outside the Lingering Sun Blessed Land [a blessed land imbued with the lingering essence of the setting sun], and he asks how we should deal with it."

Exquisite Jiang glanced at the talisman, a slight frown creasing her brow. "The Flowing Fire Star Palace knows we are nurturing the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron [a legendary cauldron forged from a crimson dragon, capable of suppressing worlds] within the Lingering Sun Blessed Land. They fear we might flee with it."

"Indeed."

"In the eyes of the Master of Flowing Fire, the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron is the most crucial matter."

Eldrin Chen nodded, letting out a soft sigh.

Placing the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron within the Lingering Sun Blessed Land for nurturing was a decision Eldrin Chen had arrived at after much deliberation.

That Lingering Sun Blessed Land was the place where the Lingering Sun Heavenly God [a celestial deity of the lingering sunset] had fallen. It contained a portion of that deity's origin essence and resonated perfectly with the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron.

Therefore, using the Lingering Sun Blessed Land to restore the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron was the most suitable choice. Only the Lingering Sun Blessed Land could fully restore its divine might.

Regarding this, Eldrin Chen had not concealed the truth from the Flowing Fire Star Palace. The fact that the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron could be restored within three hundred thousand years was information he had intentionally allowed to leak.

It was precisely for this reason that Master of Flowing Fire Star Palace had been able to restrain himself until now, never taking action against Eldrin Chen.

Otherwise, Master of Flowing Fire Star Palace might have long since lost patience, deciding to cut his losses and seize the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron directly.

Given the current situation, the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron was in a continuous state of recovery—a deliberate hope that Eldrin Chen had offered to Master of Flowing Fire Star Palace.

This hope was the promise that after three hundred thousand years, the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron would be fully restored. By seizing it then, he could use it to recover from his injuries.

Until that time, as long as he remained inactive, he would not alert Western Abyss Celestial Palace or Glazed Divine Lord.

If he were to act prematurely, not only would the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron struggle to recover, but even if he seized it, it would likely be reclaimed by Glazed Blessed Land and Western Abyss Celestial Palace. This chapter is provided by (audio-novel.com). Support the original.

Under these circumstances, Master of Flowing Fire Star Palace had waited for two hundred thousand years, maintaining his inaction even to this day.

Contemplating this, Eldrin Chen shook his head and said, "Given the current state of affairs, as the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron draws ever closer to full restoration, Master of Flowing Fire Star Palace's fixation on it grows only more intense."

"He will not allow the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron to vanish. Even if you or I wished to retrieve it, I fear he would not permit it."

Upon hearing this, Exquisite Jiang nodded and then spoke, "In comparison, he desires the successful advancement of the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron even more fervently than we do."

Understanding this, Eldrin Chen sighed softly and then summoned Ethan Chen, instructing him: "Make a journey to the Lingering Sun Blessed Land [a realm of cultivation blessed with abundant spiritual energy]. Inform Fellow Daoist Heaven Wind that there is no need for concern over this matter; he should continue his cultivation as usual."

"I understand."

Ethan Chen nodded and then transformed into a streak of Escape Radiance [a high-speed flight technique], speeding off towards the Lingering Sun Sea Region.

After Ethan Chen departed, Eldrin Chen and Exquisite Jiang did not linger either. They immediately set off for the Glazed Blessed Land.

Not long after, the two arrived within the Glazed Blessed Land. At this time, Glazed Divine Lord was still in seclusion recovering from his injuries, and they were received by Sun Consort.

Her cultivation progress was astonishingly swift; she had actually already reached the Fourth Level Earth Immortal [the fourth major stage of the Earth Immortal cultivation realm].

This surprised Eldrin Chen slightly, and he could not help but remark, "Only two hundred thousand years have passed, and you have already broken through to the Middle Stage Earth Immortal. Your progress is truly divine."

Sun Consort also revealed a faint smile but remained humble. "It is merely because the World-Opening [the foundational act of creating one's inner world] lands I oversee are fewer, allowing my cultivation to advance a bit faster. What is there to be pleased about?"

Eldrin Chen shook his head, however, and said with a smile, "Many Earth Immortal Patriarch [venerable patriarchs at the Earth Immortal realm] cultivate diligently for millions of years without necessarily setting foot into the Middle Stage Earth Immortal."

Seeing this, Sun Consort smiled and shook her head, not elaborating further. She simply inquired, "Your visit today—is it for an important matter?"

"I am preparing to attend the Barter Convention and, while I'm at it, came to trade for some Immortal Source rare treasures [a primordial substance of immense spiritual purity and power]."

Eldrin Chen offered a faint smile and directly produced several dozen External Elixir [pills refined from external sources, distinct from those cultivated within the body].

Sun Consort gave a slight nod and said with a laugh, "That is easily arranged. I still possess a considerable amount of Immortal Source."

The External Elixir refined through the Primordial One Limitless Rule [a supreme law of creation and boundless potential] are unique treasures, and the Glazed Blessed Land has always sought to acquire every single one available.

That Sun Consort took a portion of Immortal Source and Incense Offering Celestial Silver [a special celestial silver used in ritual offerings], and the transaction was swiftly concluded.

Once the exchange was complete, Sun Consort seemed to recall something and casually advised, "For the past two hundred thousand years, the Western Essence Divine Abyss Sea has suffered from a great drought."

"Across the entire Western Essence Divine Abyss Sea, the sea level has dropped by half a tenth. In some of the shallower sea regions, it is said the seabed has been exposed, gradually transforming into desolate continents." Enjoyed this chapter? Read more at audio-novel dot com.
