Chapter 1558 : A Consort's Celestial Gift

Sun Consort had come this time to deliver a gift of gratitude.

She withdrew from her sleeve three treasure orbs, each radiating with the light of the Sun and Moon and the Stellar [the celestial bodies and stars], and handed them to Eldrin Chen with a smile, saying, "Great kindness cannot be repaid with mere words. Consider these a token of our heartfelt appreciation."

"You are too kind,"

Eldrin Chen replied with a faint smile as he accepted the three orbs.

The orbs presented by the Sun Consort this time were the Sun God, Moon Goddess, and Stellar orbs, all three of them Eighth Rank High-Grade treasures.

As time flowed on, the Chen Immortal Clan now boasted over a dozen Earth Immortal Patriarch [powerful cultivators who have ascended to the Earth Immortal realm], several of whom possessed strength comparable to those at the Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal realm].

The amount of Immortal Spirit Essence [the purest energy required for high-level immortal cultivation] a single such being could absorb and refine surpassed the total cultivation base of ten Early-stage Earth Immortal.

Under such circumstances, the Stellar Glazed Boundary [a powerful defensive and cultivation-enhancing formation], which could originally only sustain the cultivation of ten Earth Immortal, was no longer sufficient to support the needs of the entire Chen Immortal Clan.

In recent years, the majority of the clan's Earth Immortal Patriarch had dispersed to cultivate in several other Blessed Land [regions of exceptionally dense spiritual energy], such as Returning Abyss, Lingering Sun, and Flowing Fire, leaving Green Chariot Mountain to gradually become more of a symbolic Clan Path-Field [the ancestral and spiritual heartland of the clan].

Even Eldrin Chen had spent most of his time in recent years cultivating within the Flowing Fire Blessed Land.

Although with the aid of the Polarity Void Mirror and the Void Gate, Eldrin Chen could traverse between the two locations in an instant, activating such treasures still incurred a significant toll.

Regardless, the Returning Abyss Sea Region was the place where Eldrin Chen had laid his foundation, holding a special significance for him.

Furthermore, the presence of the Abyss of the Returning Abyss within it, along with the Returning Abyss Blessed Land and the Returning Abyss Pearl, made it impossible for Eldrin Chen to abandon the Returning Abyss Sea Region.

Under these circumstances, upgrading the Stellar Glazed Boundary was an urgent matter that brooked no delay.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen smiled faintly and said, "Your delivery of these three precious orbs truly arrives to quench a pressing thirst."

Moon Consort nodded slightly, a gentle smile gracing her lips. "It is merely mutual aid. We three sisters have come today specifically to assist you in upgrading the Stellar Glazed Boundary."

"Your efforts are appreciated."

With a light smile, Eldrin Chen immediately set to work on the upgrade of the Stellar Glazed Boundary.

With the assistance of the three, Eldrin Chen swiftly integrated the three orbs into the Sun and Moon Stellar [the cosmic power of the stars and celestial bodies].

Upon completing this step, the Stellar power drawn in by the Stellar Glazed Boundary surged, instantly multiplying severalfold.

However, Eldrin Chen did not cease his actions. With a flick of his sleeve, he produced over thirty thousand resplendent Stellar Primordial Essence [a primordial stellar energy essence of celestial grade].

"Celestial-grade Stellar Primordial Essence."

The moment she beheld these Stellar Primordial Essence, Sun Consort could not help but start slightly, her expression shifting as she spoke.

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod and smiled. "Indeed. I obtained these from within the Small Universe [a miniature, self-contained cosmos]."

During that millennium-long seclusion within the Small Universe, while Eldrin Chen was in closed-door cultivation, Glazed Divine Lord and the others had already gathered over five thousand portions of celestial-grade Stellar Primordial Essence, reaping bountiful harvests.

These celestial-grade Stellar Primordial Essence possess extraordinary properties. They can be integrated into the Stellar Glazed Boundary [a grand stellar defensive formation] to augment its power, which is precisely why Eldrin Chen had gone to great lengths to collect them.

Seizing the opportunity presented by the Universe's Oblivion [a state of cosmic dissolution and return to primordial chaos], a moment when countless Stellar Primordial Essence were leaking out, Eldrin Chen managed to gather over twenty thousand of them in one fell swoop.

With those twenty thousand Stellar Primordial Essence as a foundation, Eldrin Chen then exchanged numerous World-Opening Marvel [rare treasures born from the opening of a world] and Immortal Treasure for more Stellar Primordial Essence, finally amassing over thirty thousand celestial-grade Stellar Primordial Essence.

"With a Great Heavenly Cycle's worth of Stellar Primordial Essence, my Stellar Glazed Boundary should be sufficient to ascend to the level of a Supreme Grade Blessed Land [a land of supreme spiritual fortune and power]."

Eldrin Chen spoke calmly, a faint smile gracing his features.

As his words fell, he merged it into the boundless Stellar [the cosmic energy and essence of stars] within. Through continuous refinement, over thirty thousand Ancient Star [primordial celestial bodies of immense power] finally ignited within the Stellar Glazed Boundary [a grand defensive formation of stars and crystalline energy].

Simultaneously, Exquisite Jiang made her move, refining three hundred and sixty million great stars into the Stellar Glazed Boundary.

When all was complete, the Stellar Glazed Boundary began its operations anew, emanating an aura as profound as a miniature Stellar Universe [a cosmos or realm].

Behold, the endless starry sea rotated, its Sun and Moon [the celestial bodies representing solar and lunar essence] and Stellar shining with unparalleled brilliance, utterly veiling the entire Returning Abyss Sea Region [a vast oceanic domain].

Even more astonishingly, this Stellar Glazed Boundary resonated in harmony with the Cosmic Stellar Formation [a grand celestial star array] of the Returning Abyss Sea Region, drawing upon the boundless power of Stellar and pulling in the stellar forces from half of the Hundred Seas of Returning Abyss [the collective name for the seas within the Returning Abyss domain].

"The Stellar Glazed Boundary has fused with the Cosmic Stellar Formation,"

Sun Consort exclaimed with evident shock upon perceiving the transformation of the Stellar Glazed Boundary.

Eldrin Chen nodded, for he could keenly sense the profound changes now sweeping through the Returning Abyss Sea Region.

After the fusion of the Stellar Glazed Boundary and the Cosmic Stellar Formation, the internal Stellar energies resonated brilliantly with the nearly one hundred Immortal Isles [floating islands imbued with immortal energy] within the Returning Abyss Sea Region, coalescing into a supernal grand formation.

The Stellar Glazed Boundary had now ascended to the level of a Supreme Grade Blessed Land [a land of supreme fortune and spiritual abundance], while the Cosmic Stellar Formation could be considered a pinnacle-grade World-Opening Grand Formation [a formation of such power it could shape or cleave worlds].

According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, the newly fused Stellar Glazed Boundary now draws in a hundredfold more Stellar energy [the cosmic power of stars and constellations], which should be sufficient to sustain the cultivation of nine Half-Step Celestial Immortal [cultivators who have almost ascended to the Celestial Immortal realm].

Of course, this calculation is based on those with a Single Primordial Unity Foundation [a foundational cultivation method focusing on a single, unified core of spiritual energy]. If they possessed a Dual Primordial Unity Foundation [a more advanced foundation method harmonizing two distinct energy cores], the energy would likely only suffice for three or four cultivators.

Furthermore, the defensive power of the Cosmic Stellar Formation [a grand protective array harnessing stellar energies] has been vastly enhanced.

Eldrin Chen estimated that if he personally presided over the formation, unless the enemy possessed a supreme-grade World-Opening Ancient Ship [a legendary vessel capable of traversing and even creating realms], even ten Half-Step Celestial Immortal might not be able to breach its defenses.

"From now on, we can finally cultivate in peace within this Returning Abyss Blessed Land," he murmured, a profound sense of relief settling within him.

Having directly acquired a Supreme Grade Blessed Land [a land of the highest tier, overflowing with spiritual energy] and resolved the issue of their Path-Field [the spiritual territory and foundation for a cultivator's path], a weight lifted from Eldrin Chen's heart.

He personally hosted a feast for the three, gifting them a batch of Galaxy Star Sand Pill [pills refined from cosmic dust to enhance cultivation] and a single Dragon-Phoenix Ascension Pill [a rare elixir said to grant a breakthrough akin to a dragon or phoenix's rebirth] to each, hoping they would soon achieve the Great Perfection of the Earth Immortal [the realm of an immortal anchored to the earthly plane] realm.

After the trio departed, Eldrin Chen settled back into his secluded cultivation with a tranquil mind.

In the years that followed, Eldrin Chen entered deep seclusion, rarely emerging as he devoted himself to cultivation within the Stellar Glazed Boundary and contemplated the path of his own Future cultivation.

Eldrin Chen's comprehension talent was already peerless throughout the ages. Now, aided by Eighth Rank Supreme Grade Enlightenment Tea [a celestial-grade tea that greatly enhances mental clarity and insight], his progress was nothing short of miraculous.

Merely thirty thousand years later, Eldrin Chen had completely deduced the Primordial One Indestructibility Body to the Ninth Rank realm, obtaining the complete cultivation method for the 'Supreme Unity Primordial One Indestructibility Physique'.

After another thirty thousand years passed, Eldrin Chen also deduced the Primordial One Ancient Scripture to the Ninth Rank realm.

He now possessed perfected methods for comprehending the 'Primordial Unity Primordial One Limitless Path Principle' and for condensing the 'Supreme Unity Primordial One Indestructibility Path Fruit'.

Ninety thousand years later, Eldrin Chen attempted to deduce the method for Lifebound Magical Treasure, successfully elevating the refinement techniques for all five of his Lifebound Magical Treasure to the Primordial Unity Realm.

One hundred twenty thousand years later, Eldrin Chen successively deduced 'Primordial One Energy', 'Great Five Elements Primordial Solar Divine Thunder', and 'Great Five Elements Primordial Solar Divine Light' to the Half-Step Patriarch Realm.

According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, once he successfully cultivated the 'Primordial Unity Primordial One Limitless Path Principle' and gained deeper insights into the Rule Great Path...

...and with the aid of 'Primordial Unity Enlightenment Tea', there would be a slight possibility of elevating these three Divine Ability to the 'Patriarch Level'.

If he could use Innate Enlightenment Tea instead, Eldrin Chen was confident he could elevate them to the Patriarch Level with absolute certainty.
