Chapter 1586 : The Path of the Taiyi Immortal Fruit

"As for this Taiyi Immortal Fruit, we shall discuss it another day."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, deciding that after he had broken through to the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm, or even achieved the Dual Taiyi Foundation, and had nurtured an Innate Taiyi Immortal Fruit, he would then attempt to refine the Innate Taiyi Pill. With this thought settled, Eldrin Chen emerged from his Seclusion Chamber.

After concluding his seclusion, he discovered that Nyssa Qu and Verdant Consort had already ended their own. Both had successfully advanced to the Earth Immortal Nine Layers. Yvonne the Violet Consort and Lila were still in deep meditation, though he surmised they would likely emerge soon.

Seeing Eldrin Chen emerge, Lyra Jiang inquired, "How did it go?" "It proceeded smoothly enough."

Eldrin Chen replied with a smile, presenting the Primordial Unity Golden Body Pill to the others.

Upon seeing a full twelve pills had been successfully refined, expressions of delight bloomed on everyone's faces.

Lyra Jiang's eyes sparkled with excitement as she spoke joyfully, "With this matter concluded, you should now turn your attention to acquiring the final Earth Vein [a concentrated line of terrestrial spiritual energy]."

"Indeed, I was thinking the same."

Eldrin Chen gave a firm nod, a trace of solemn contemplation flickering in his gaze.

Noticing this, Nyssa Qu produced a map and explained, "Within the entire Azure Firmament Immortal Domain, there are over three hundred Wood Attribute Supreme Grade Abode of Bliss. However, the vast majority of these Wood Attribute Blessed Land are not suitable targets for our purposes." Immerse yourself in the complete world at AUDIO-NOVEL.COM.

"We have selected these. After taking action, there should be no significant repercussions. They are the most suitable choices."

As Nyssa Qu spoke calmly, Eldrin Chen gradually understood the situation.

As early as several hundred thousand years ago, the Chen Immortal Clan began gathering intelligence on the Supreme Grade Abode of Bliss within the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain.

Over these years, the Chen Immortal Clan continuously dispatched Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] to gather information, successfully obtaining intelligence on over three hundred Wood Attribute [cultivation arts aligned with the element of wood] Supreme Grade Abode of Bliss [the highest grade of spiritual paradise realms].

Among these Supreme Grade Abode of Bliss, almost every single one was guarded by a Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a cultivator on the very cusp of ascending to full Celestial Immortality]. Eldrin Chen excluded those belonging to the Human Race and the powerful Blessed Land [a spiritual paradise realm] backed by Grotto-Heaven [a superior, self-contained spiritual realm], leaving only the Blessed Land occupied by Rogue Cultivator [cultivators not affiliated with any major clan or sect]. From these, he curated a list, which was whittled down to just under one hundred names. Gazing at these remaining Blessed Land, Eldrin Chen pondered for a moment before speaking. "A Supreme Grade Abode of Bliss, if defended by a Half-Step Celestial Immortal, possesses formidable defensive power. To breach it would require a force at least five times greater."

"Although my current combat prowess has touched the realm of the Dual Taiyi Foundation [a supreme dual-foundation cultivation base], attempting to conquer a Supreme Grade Abode of Bliss guarded by a Half-Step Celestial Immortal would still be far too arduous."

With those words, Eldrin Chen excluded all Supreme Grade Abode of Bliss that had a Half-Step Celestial Immortal in residence.

This final exclusion slashed the list of Supreme Grade Abode of Bliss by more than half, leaving behind only three names.

Looking at these three remaining entries, everyone present couldn't help but pause slightly in surprise.

The three final Blessed Land were: the Verdant Pine Abode of Bliss, the Azure Dragon Abode of Bliss, and the Jia Wood Abode of Bliss.

Examining the information on these three Blessed Land [a place of exceptional spiritual energy and natural harmony], a slight frown creased Eldrin Chen's brow. Among these three Blessed Land, the Verdant Pine Abode of Bliss was territory held by the Spirit Race [a race of beings born from spiritual energy or natural phenomena]. It was said that the Verdant Pine Ancient Ancestor possessed immense longevity, having taken form from an ancient verdant pine tree.

The Azure Dragon Abode of Bliss was located within the Eastern Boundless Sea. Its ruler, the Yi Wood Azure Dragon, was hailed as the foremost Heaven's Chosen [a prodigy blessed by heaven] of the Dragon Race, rumored to be a Supreme [a being of unparalleled talent who has touched the limits of a cultivation realm] demonic dragon who had stepped into the Forbidden Realm [a legendary state beyond the normal limits of a cultivation stage].

Although the Yi Wood Azure Dragon possessed a cultivation base of only Earth Immortal Great Perfection, it was still a force not to be underestimated.

The final one, the Jia Wood Abode of Bliss, served as the Daoist Assembly Ground [a gathering place for cultivators] of a Eastern Jia Wood Deity. Its origin, like that of the Separated Flame Deity and the Central Earth Spirit Deity, belonged to the rare category of Five Directions Divine Spirits [deities born from the fundamental elements of the cosmos], granting it exceptionally vast potential.

This Eastern Jia Wood Deity had also opened the Ninefold Heavens [a supreme cultivation achievement representing the pinnacle of one's inner world], ranking it among the top-tier Heaven's Chosen of the Divine Race [a race of beings born with divine nature].

After clarifying the nature of the three Blessed Land, Verdant Consort spoke up. "The Verdant Pine Abode of Bliss is under the control of the Spirit Race. Out of respect for Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor, we cannot move against its master." Lyra Jiang nodded in agreement and asked, "Then between the Azure Dragon Abode of Bliss and the Jia Wood Abode of Bliss, which should we choose?"

"The East Sea Azure Dragon has entered the Forbidden Realm. Coupled with its Mountain Guardian Grand Formation [a powerful defensive array], it would likely be a formidable opponent to deal with,"

Eldrin Chen stated calmly, then turned his gaze toward the Jia Wood Abode of Bliss. "This Jia Wood Abode of Bliss may well be our optimal choice."

Nyssa Qu gave a firm nod. "If that is the case, then let us proceed."

Eldrin Chen acknowledged with a slight dip of his head. "To avoid revealing our true strength, I intend to go in disguise this time. The rest of you should remain with the clan and await my message."

Having made his decision, Eldrin Chen did not linger.

Not long after, he departed the Abyssal Sea Region without a trace.

The Jia Wood Abode of Bliss was not located within the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, nor even within the Six Celestial Domains of the Western Pole. It was situated within the Great Wilderness Heaven Domain, one of the six celestial domains of the Eastern Six Heavens.

Eldrin Chen traversed the Endless Void and, before he knew it, arrived at the Eastern Six Heavens.

These Eastern Six Heavens were, respectively: the Ethereal Void Celestial Domain, the Great Wilderness Heaven Domain, the Myriad Demons Ancestral Domain, the Evergreen Ancient Domain, along with the Profound Abyss Sea of Insight and the Eastern Boundless Sea.

As Eldrin Chen understood it, among the six great celestial domains of the East, the Ethereal Void Celestial Domain contained five Grotto-Heaven [a blessed realm of profound spiritual energy and unique natural laws], its paramount power being the Ethereal Void Grotto-Heaven.

The Myriad Demons Ancestral Domain held ten Grotto-Heaven of the Demonic Tribe [a collective term for races of demonic beings], with two paramount powers among them: the True Dragon Grotto-Heaven and the Immortal Phoenix Grotto-Heaven.

The Evergreen Ancient Domain was ruled by the Spirit Race [races of nature spirits and elementals], possessing seven Spirit Race Grotto-Heaven. It was said the Ancient Immortal of the Spirit Race who shook the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain had secluded himself here for countless Calamity Tribulation [cosmic cycles of catastrophe and renewal]. The Profound Abyss Sea of Insight and the Eastern Boundless Sea, like the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, were among the seven great seas of the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain, each sea guarded by seven or eight Grotto-Heaven.

As for the Great Wilderness Heaven Domain that Eldrin Chen was headed to, it was a land where the Hundred Races [a collective term for myriad sentient races] vied for supremacy, with twelve Supreme Grotto-Heaven. Among these were Supreme Grotto-Heaven belonging to the Human Race, the Demonic Tribe, the Divine Race [races of celestial beings], and even the Hundred Spirit Immortal Races.

"Within the Eastern Pole's Six Heavens, the number of Grotto-Heaven surpasses fifty."

"This ancient celestial domain is indeed far more prosperous than the Six Celestial Domains of the Western Pole,"

Upon sensing the prosperity of the Eastern Celestial Domain, Eldrin Chen could not help but sigh softly. Within the entire Azure Firmament Immortal Domain, the number of Grotto-Heaven [a superior realm of cultivation, a paradise within a cave] was only around two hundred, yet the Eastern Six Heavens Domain alone possessed a full fifty.

In comparison, the various clans of the Six Celestial Domains of the Western Pole had a combined total of barely over twenty Grotto-Heaven, a disparity in strength far greater than twofold.

"The Immortal Spirit Qi [the highest grade of spiritual energy, vital for immortal cultivation] here in the Great Wilderness Heaven Domain is nearly twice as dense as in the Western Celestial Domains. A Rogue Cultivator [a cultivator without a sect or clan affiliation] Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality and achieved immortality] without a Spirit Mountain [a mountain rich in spiritual energy] would find their cultivation progressing with twice the result for half the effort here." Eldrin Chen mused inwardly, a sense of awe stirring for the cultivation environment of this domain. He understood the reason well enough. The Eastern Six Heavens Domain lacked polluted forbidden lands like the Nether Abyss Purgatory Sea, and it also lacked rare treasures like the Abyssal Pearl [a mystical pearl that devours and emits primordial energy] that devoured and emitted World's Primordial Qi [the primordial energy that formed the foundation of the world]. A superior cultivation environment was thus to be expected.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen set aside his contemplations and proceeded towards the Great Wilderness Heaven Domain. Before he knew it, he had arrived in the vicinity of the Jia Wood Abode of Bliss [a blessed land imbued with the essence of the Jia Wood element, a place of profound natural harmony].

"This is the place."

Gazing at the Jia Wood Abode of Bliss before him, Eldrin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

Within that Jia Wood Abode of Bliss, it seemed as if boundless Tribulation Qi [the ominous energy that gathers to form heavenly tribulations] was converging. A vast, majestic aura was voraciously devouring the surrounding World's Primordial Qi.

"It seems my timing is impeccable." Continue reading this story at audio_novel.com.
