Chapter 1550 : Peerless Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root)

"Senior..."

Understanding the misunderstanding of the Myriad Spirits Ancestor, a subtle glimmer shifted in Eldrin’s gaze.

Although this was a misunderstanding, it served as a rather useful shield. Thus, he smiled faintly and said, "Since you have accepted the treasure, Senior, this junior can finally set his heart at ease."

"As for the matters within the minor universe, I hope Senior can help conceal them for me." "I understand."

The Myriad Spirits Ancestor nodded slightly, growing increasingly convinced that Eldrin (Person Name) possessed an extraordinary background, and thus agreed to help conceal the matter for him. Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) gave a faint nod in return, a trace of a smile gracing his lips.

Departing from the Myriad Spirit Sea, Eldrin returned to his clan.

Upon returning to his clan, he immediately entered the Great Realm of Returning Abyss and gazed upon the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) within the realm.

Within Eldrin's Earth Immortal Realm, aside from the 4 Heavenly Pillars, there existed a total of 13 Heavenly Spiritual Roots, further categorized into 6 celestial and 7 worldly ancient trees. Among the 6 celestial trees stood the Thalion Ancient Tree, the Stellar Ancient Tree, the Pure Yang Ancient Tree, the Void Celestial Wood, the Dual Polarity Celestial Light Tree, and the Longevity Fruit Tree.

Within the 7 Realms, there existed 7 ancient trees: the Heaven Thunder Bamboo, the Ice Soul Immortal Pear Tree, the Fire Jade Immortal Marrow Tree, the Gale Gourd Vine, the Northern Abyss Frostmist Tree, the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, and the Immortal Peach Ancient Tree.

"The innate spiritual water in the vial is insufficient. Which ancient tree should be prioritized for advancement?" Gazing at the several primordial trees, Eldrin fell into contemplative silence.

Within the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Vase, there were only 1,000 drops of Innate Spiritual Water, barely enough to advance a single Spiritual Root. Although the Chen Family had accumulated a considerable amount of Immortal Origin, it remained insufficient to elevate all 13 Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root).

Eldrin pondered deeply before finally articulating with measured deliberation, "The Immortal Peach Tree and the Ancient Tea Tree of Enlightenment are paramount to cultivation—they form the very foundation of our practice. As for the Whirlwind Valley Gourd, it may serve as our ultimate trump card and should likewise be prioritized for advancement."

Having made his decision, Eldrin immediately summoned the Qiankun Primordial Vial, releasing the Innate Spiritual Water to nurture the immortal peach tree.

Nourished by the Primordial Spiritual Water, the Immortal Peach Tree underwent a dramatic transformation. Eldrin expended 200 drops of this precious liquid, elevating it directly to the eighth-tier, superior grade.

During this period, to break through the bottleneck, Eldrin had consumed 2 strands of Heaven-Splitting Qi, along with 2 wisps of diluted Primordial Violet Qi. "Is merely 200 drops of Primordial Spiritual Water truly sufficient to advance to the eighth-rank upper grade?"

After its advancement, the immortal peach tree's ability to convert void energy had greatly accelerated, and the spiritual power contained within the peaches it bore grew increasingly profound. Sensing the transformation of the immortal peach tree, Eldrin felt a surge of delight in his heart.

He did not immediately proceed to advance the Immortal Peach Tree, instead channeling the Innate Spiritual Water to nourish the various other spiritual roots.

In 1 breath, he exhausted all of the Innate Spiritual Water, then replenished the Heaven and Earth Primordial Vial with immortal sources. After expending over 20,000,000 immortal sources, he finally elevated 13 stalks of Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) to the upper-grade eighth rank.

After these spiritual roots advanced, the Heaven-opening Spiritual Root's ability to draw upon the fundamental energies immediately doubled. Eldrin instantly felt his cultivation speed surge with remarkable progress.

Beyond that, the various supreme treasures nurtured by the Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) had also undergone significant enhancement. "The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Vessel is truly effective, yet it consumes far too much immortal essence."

Gazing at the Cosmic Qi Vase in his hand, Eldrin couldn't help but feel a wave of helplessness.

Today, the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) holds dominion over the Flowing Rivers and 100 Seas, possessing wealth beyond imagination. Yet, the amount of immortal essence Eldrin (Person Name) could gather amounted to only 50,000,000 units of immortal essence.

He had just expended 20,000,000 units of Immortal Origin, leaving only 30,000,000 units remaining in his possession.

Of course, this did not mean the Chen Clan possessed only this much wealth. Currently, the clan's primary assets lay in the Galaxy Starfall Pills (Elixir), the Heaven-Sundering Supreme Treasure (Magic Treasure), and the Taiyi Marvelous Curios (Magic Treasure).

Among these treasures, Eldrin could not bear to part with the Heaven-Splitting Supreme Treasure, while liquidating the Galaxy Star Sand Pills would require some time. "I still need to find a channel to exchange the surplus Galaxy Star Sand Pills for Immortal Origin."

As he spoke, Eldrin still poured all 30,000,000 Immortal Origins in his hand into the Primordial Chaos Qi Bottle.

As the Heaven and Earth Qi Vial trembled slightly, it swiftly refined the immortal source into the purest immortal spiritual energy, then continuously transformed it into Primordial Spiritual Water. In the end, Eldrin obtained 3,000 drops of Primordial Spiritual Water.

Gazing at the innate spiritual water, Eldrin felt a slight sense of reassurance in his heart before turning his gaze toward the 13 spiritual roots.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately began nourishing the Immortal Peach Tree with Primordial Spiritual Water. As 6 100 drops fell in succession, the tree finally reached its growth limit.

Within it, a faint trace of the Great Ultimate Dao Pattern had begun to emerge, as if it were only a step away from becoming a top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root.

Alas, this single step between time and distance had stymied countless spiritual roots. Those who succeeded in their ascension were exceedingly rare—truly, not 1 in a 100. Though the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Bottle was profoundly marvelous, it remained but a low-grade innate treasure, ultimately powerless to help him break through this critical bottleneck.

Eldrin, however, paid it no mind. He retrieved the Primordial Chaos Qi Bottle and exhaled a wisp of Acquired Primordial Origin Qi. As the qi merged into the Immortal Peach Tree, the tree underwent an immediate metamorphosis, giving birth to 3 Great Unity Dao Patterns.

Supreme Grade Heaven-Opening Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root).

Gazing at the immortal peach tree before him, a faint smile surfaced on Eldrin's face.

In that moment, he could clearly sense that after absorbing the Acquired Primordial Qi of Chaos, the Immortal Peach Tree had not only ascended to become a Supreme-Grade Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), but the bottleneck obstructing its path to the Ancient Taiji Tree had been completely shattered.

Unfortunately, Eldrin's Earth Immortal realm was not yet powerful enough. Were he to advance to the Taiyi Ancient Tree, this Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss would likely be unable to withstand it, thus the Heavenly Dao suppressed his breakthrough.

After all, the Primordial Taiyi Tree was a Ninth Rank Spiritual Root, its power surpassing even that of a Taiyi Immortal Weapon by tenfold. An ordinary Earth Immortal world simply could not bear its presence. According to Eldrin's estimation, by the time Eldrin broke through to the Great Perfection stage of the Earth Immortal Realm, the Abyssal Return Realm should be capable of sustaining a single Primordial Taiyi Tree. Once he advanced to the Half-Step Celestial Immortal Realm, the Abyssal Return Realm would likely be able to nurture 3 Taiyi Spiritual Roots.

If 1 cultivates dual Taiyi foundations, they can advance to produce 6 Taiyi spiritual roots. Once the cultivation is fully perfected and 3 Taiyi foundations are achieved, all Open Heavenly Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root) will ascend into ancient Taiyi trees.

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

It seemed this acquired Primordial Chaos Qi was even more profound than he had imagined. Though it could not compare to the Innate Qi, the difference was not far off. Thinking this, Eldrin continued to consume Innate Spirit Water, elevating the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree and the Whirlwind Gourd Vine to their utmost limits.

After the 2 spiritual roots had reached their limits, Eldrin consumed 2 more wisps of Acquired Primordial Qi, successfully advancing the 2 ancient trees. Once all 3 ancient trees had been elevated, Eldrin finally let out a slow, relieved breath, a faint smile gracing his lips once more.

After these 3 ancient trees advanced in rank, the spiritual treasures they produced became increasingly astonishing.

Among the 3 spiritual roots, the Immortal Peach Tree would bear fruit once every 100,000 years thereafter, each time producing 9 immortal fruits.
