Chapter 1584 : Ninth-Level Panlong Peach Tree

As his thoughts drifted, Eldrin immediately retrieved the Primordial Chaos Qi Water and sprinkled the Innate Spiritual Water onto the Immortal Peach Tree.

The celestial peach tree, having absorbed the ethereal spirit water, began its gradual metamorphosis from within. "Do not disappoint me."

Watching the transforming immortal peach tree, Eldrin murmured softly, a glimmer of anticipation flickering in his eyes.

After careful deliberation, Eldrin still believed that advancing the Immortal Peach Tree was the optimal choice.

By comparison, the Wind-Severing Gourd was a supreme treasure of slaughter. Once elevated to the Grand Unity realm, it would become another trump card for Eldrin—1 capable of threatening even the foundations of 3 Grand Unity experts, or even a Celestial Immortal.

The Taiyi Enlightenment Tea could greatly enhance Eldrin's comprehension, allowing him to glimpse the power of the Taiyi Dao Principles.

Should either of these 2 treasures successfully advance in rank, it would enable Eldrin to make a tremendous leap in his cultivation in the days to come.

However, Eldrin (Person Name) believed that cultivation base was the foundation of all things—the very root of mastering everything. If his cultivation base was insufficient, even the most powerful laws would be as fleeting as rootless duckweed. With 210,000 years remaining until the outbreak of the Dao Calamity, Eldrin (Person Name) had only just broken through to the ninth level of the Earth Immortal realm.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, it would take at least 1 100 and 50 1000 years for his magical power to reach perfection and attain the threshold of breaking through to the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm.

By then, with merely 60,000 years remaining until the Dao Calamity, Eldrin would likely only have enough time to consolidate his cultivation base, leaving little room for extensive preparations. Should the Dao Calamity arrive under such circumstances, he would inevitably find himself at a disadvantage.

Within the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization), 5 individuals—Qing Ji, Lyra (Person Name), Seraphina Qu (Person Name), Yan Zi Ji, and Lila (Person Name)—possessed the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) that Eldrin (Person Name) had advanced. It was estimated they would only have 1 chance to attempt a breakthrough to the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm.

Kael (Person Name), Chen Ethan (Person Name), and Chen Qiyuan—these 3 foundational pillars of the clan, should their travels prove unfavorable, might not even advance half-step beyond the Celestial Immortal realm.

After much deliberation, Eldrin concluded that the most pressing matter was to help them break through and reach the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm as soon as possible.

In such circumstances, accelerating cultivation with the Ethereal Immortal Peach might be the most optimal choice.

Just as Eldrin’s thoughts wavered, the Great Immortal Peach Tree trembled faintly. Within it, the power of the Great Immortal Dao Principles finally took form, giving rise to 9 celestial peaches that exuded an aura of profound mystery.

"This is..."

Primal Water Peach of Longevity.

Eldrin (Person Name)心中微微一震，认出了此物的来历，‘壬水蟠桃树乃是所有桃树的终极之境。

It is said that within the Celestial Court of the human race, there exists a grove of peach trees brimming with several 1000 primordial ancient trees—all of them Primordial Ren Water Peaches. These divine peaches are reserved for the Celestial Court’s feasts to entertain the host of immortals. 1 must understand that the immortals invited to these celestial banquets are, at the very least, beings of the Heavenly Immortal level, and among them are even figures of the Great Luo Immortal Lord caliber.

能被此等存在奉为仙珍，可见这壬水蟠桃珍惜之处。Eldrin (Person Name)的这株‘壬水蟠桃，，乃是九阶的太乙蟠桃树，比起仙庭的先天壬水蟠桃，亦不过只差A Step Away (Time & Distance)罢了。

"Innate and Acquired—a single step between them, yet worlds apart."

"Yet, after all, the Ninth-Level Peach of Immortality had also undergone a startling metamorphosis."

Eldrin (Person Name)看着这株壬水蟠桃树，不由露出了几分笑意。他的壬水蟠桃树，比不得先天蟠桃树，但是却也有了惊人玄妙。

According to his calculations, any mortal who consumed a single Taiyi Renshui Peach (Immortal Fruit) would instantly ascend to immortality, gaining eternal life coeval with heaven and earth.

Of course, those who attain immortality by consuming such peaches of the sacred tree will find their cultivation progress stagnating hereafter, owing to their inherently insufficient foundation.

The most crucial function of this peach actually lies in aiding the cultivation of those at the Supreme Unity realm. According to Eldrin's estimation, if an Earth Immortal at the ninth layer consumed 1 of these Peaches of Immortality, it could save them over a million years of arduous cultivation.

If an Earth Immortal at the ninth level with accumulated perfection consumed a Ren Water Peach of Pan, they could even leverage its vast energy to assault the threshold of a Half-Step Celestial Immortal, increasing their chances of success by a full 10 percent.

Even a Half-Step Celestial Immortal existence, with the aid of a substantial quantity of Ren Water Pan-Peaches, could still enhance their chances of breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm by several degrees.

However, after the Peach of Immortality Tree advanced, its maturation cycle was greatly extended. From now on, it would require 1 million years to bear fruit once.

"It seems that achieving the Earth Immortal's Great Perfection is now within reach."

Eldrin spoke slowly, a faint smile unconsciously gracing his lips.

He consumed a Peach of Immortality and began diverting a portion of his focus to refine its energy. After gathering the remaining 8 peaches, he finally emerged from the seclusion chamber, only to find Lyra standing guard for him.

Over these years, Lyra had already broken through to the Great Perfection stage of the Earth Immortal realm, while Qing Ji, Seraphina Qu, Lila, and Yan Zi Ji, among others, were in seclusion, striving to reach the 9th Layer of Earth Immortal.

Seeing this, Eldrin handed the flat peach to Lyra and said with a gentle smile, "With this, my lady, it won't be long before you attempt to break through to the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm."

Seeing this, Lyra (Person Name) could not help but smile faintly.

She took the peach of immortality and then inquired, "You've already made a breakthrough. Are you preparing to make your move?"

"The Spirit Mountain isn't going anywhere, so there's no need to rush for now."

Eldrin shook his head and spoke, "Once Madam's spiritual power reaches perfection, it will be time to attempt the breakthrough to Half-Step Celestial Immortal. I shall go refine a few batches of the Great Unity Golden Body Elixir."

Lyra was momentarily taken aback before promptly responding, "Very well."

Back when he was at the 7th level of the Earth Immortal realm, Eldrin had already been capable of refining a supreme Taiyi Immortal Pill like the Yin-Yang Dao-Comprehending Pill.

With Eldrin's current magical power, although he had yet to fully refine the Peaches of Immortality, it far surpassed his capabilities when he was at the seventh level of the Earth Immortal realm. His alchemy skills had also improved significantly compared to before. Thus, Eldrin prepared to fire up the cauldron and refine the Great Immortal Golden Body Elixir, making early preparations for Lyra and others to break through to the Great Immortal realm.

Lyra's Dao Body was innate, unlike Eldrin's constitution which was cultivated through acquired practice.

An innate constitution possesses abundant inner essence, requiring minimal resources for breakthroughs and making cultivation considerably simpler.

If Eldrin’s (Person Name) Primordial Immortal Body was an innate constitution, containing the primordial Dao patterns that led directly to the Primordial Chaos Realm, perhaps just 1 Supreme Golden Body Pill would be enough to ascend to the Supreme Golden Immortal Realm.

Lyra's Lunar Immortal Physique was this type of innate constitution. Such a supreme physique could lead directly to the Great Perfection Realm, with only 1 significant obstacle—a considerable expenditure required to break through its crucial bottleneck.

The same was true of Seraphina Qu (Person Name)'s 9-Colored Immortal Pearl Constitution. Such a physique could be considered rare since ancient times, and it would not present significant bottlenecks before breaking through to the Great Perfection Stage.

Generally speaking, those with Inferior Dao Physique have hopes of attaining immortality, those with Medium Dao Physique can aspire to break through to the Earth Immortal realm, while those with Superior Dao Physicle encounter minimal bottlenecks before advancing to the Celestial Immortal realm. Ordinary immortals possess common immortal constitutions, typically exhausting their latent potential upon reaching the Earth Immortal realm, where any further progress becomes exceptionally arduous.

Once 1 reaches their limit, it becomes nearly impossible to advance further unless their immortal body undergoes an ultimate metamorphosis.

Chapter 1 The biting cold wind howled across the icy plains, carrying with it the scent of frost and decay. A lone figure trudged through the knee-deep snow, his tattered robes whipping about him like spectral banners. This was Li Ming, once a promising disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect, now reduced to a mere wanderer in this desolate wasteland. "1 100 years," he murmured, his breath forming clouds of mist in the frigid air. "1 100 years since my spiritual roots were severed." He remembered that day as if it were yesterday - the ambush by the Blood Demon Cult, the betrayal by his own senior brother, and the final, devastating blow that shattered his cultivation base. From the peak of Foundation Establishment, he had fallen to the very bottom, becoming weaker than even an ordinary mortal. Suddenly, a faint glow caught his eye from beneath an ancient pine tree crusted with ice. Drawn by some inexplicable force, he pushed through the snow and found a simple bronze ring, its surface covered in intricate patterns that seemed to pulse with a soft, otherworldly light. As his fingers brushed against the cold metal, a voice echoed directly in his mind: "After 10 1000 years of waiting, I have finally found a successor." Li Ming nearly dropped the ring in shock. "Who's there?" "I am but a remnant soul, a wisp of consciousness left behind by the Thunderfire Sage," the voice replied. "This ring contains my complete inheritance - the 9 Revolutions Thunder Emperor Art and all my memories and experiences." A surge of hope, foreign and almost forgotten, blossomed in Li Ming's chest. "Can you... can you help me restore my cultivation?" The ancient sage's laughter echoed like distant thunder. "Restore? Child, with my guidance, you will surpass your former self beyond measure. But the path of cultivation is fraught with peril. Are you prepared to face countless tribulations, to challenge powerful foes, to defy the very heavens themselves?" Li Ming's eyes hardened with determination. "I have already experienced the depths of despair. What more have I to fear?" "Excellent," the voice purred. "Then let us begin. First, you must consume this Marrow Cleansing Pill (Elixir). It will repair your damaged meridians and lay the foundation for your new cultivation journey." A shimmering pill materialized in Li Ming's palm, radiating pure spiritual energy. Without hesitation, he swallowed it, immediately feeling a torrent of heat spreading through his body. The pain was excruciating, as if countless needles were piercing every inch of his being, but he gritted his teeth and endured. For 3 days and 3 nights, he meditated beneath that ancient pine, his body undergoing a miraculous transformation. When he finally opened his eyes, they shone with a newfound clarity and power. "Good," the Thunderfire Sage's voice acknowledged with satisfaction. "Your spiritual roots have been restored. Now, you must begin cultivating the first layer of the 9 Revolutions Thunder Emperor Art. Remember - this technique is beyond heaven-defying. Each breakthrough will attract heavenly tribulation, so you must proceed with caution." Li Ming nodded, his heart swelling with emotions he hadn't felt in a century. He gazed toward the distant mountains where the Azure Cloud Sect stood, his hands clenching into determined fists. "Just wait," he whispered to the wind. "I will return. And when I do, all debts will be repaid." Deep within the ring, the Thunderfire Sage watched his new disciple with approval. A storm was gathering in the world of cultivation, and this young man would be at its very eye.
