Chapter 1658 : Treasure Distribution
After all, when a Heavenly Immortal expert intervened in a battle between half-step Heavenly Immortals, it was tantamount to overturning the game board entirely.
This was a battle with no room for uncertainty, 1 that could erase all unforeseen variables. Even if Eldrin possessed the power to defy the very heavens, he could never rewrite the fate ordained by destiny.
At this thought, Saintess Qingyao smiled faintly and said, "A fine idea indeed. Yet the legacies of over 20 Quasi-Celestial Immortals shall fall into the hands of that Western Abyss Dragon King for naught." As the First Holy Son reached his decision, the other 7 great powers of the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea issued nearly identical commands almost simultaneously.
Now that the Dao Calamity has erupted, all major factions had long prepared for tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years. Amidst the ongoing conflict, there was naturally no opportunity to seek out new adversaries.
Meanwhile, Luo Ming, a true disciple of the Heavenly Net Sect located within the Divine Sea, was even more overjoyed at the departure of the Western Abyss Dragon King.
In this battle, with the departure of the Taiyang Clan of the Primordial Immortals, the Celestial Net Ancient Sect stood alone against the Heavenly Dragon Cave Heaven and the Nether Dragon Clan, their strength already stretched thin.
Once the Western Abyss Dragon King leads his troops away, the pressure on the Ancient Celestial Sect will be significantly reduced. Facing the Netherdrake Clan alone, we may just slay our greatest foe and forge the foundation of the 3 Primordial Zeniths.
Upon receiving the news, the Western Abyss Dragon King immediately revealed an expression of ecstatic delight.
He understood the formidable defensive power of the ninth-tier formation, and thus refrained from recklessly forcing his way through. Instead, he began summoning all the demon clans from the 100 Seas of the Returning Abyss, intending to shatter the formation with overwhelming force and utterly annihilate the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization).
Getting back to the story, just as the outside world was preparing to deal with the Chen Clan, all the Half-Step Celestial Immortals of the Guixu Immortal Alliance had returned to the Stellar Glazed Realm. For this battle, they had played their roles for 3 100 years—so meticulously that even Earth Immortals were not permitted to approach the battlefield, let alone those below that level.
They deceived everyone, staging a scene of paying a heavy price to barely survive, all to lull the major powers into believing the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) was no longer a threat, thereby buying time to consolidate their gains.
Now that the play had concluded, they all gathered in the Starlit Glazed Realm, their eyes fixed on the resources before them as delighted smiles spread across their faces. "This battle has yielded bountiful gains for our Abyssal Return Immortal Alliance. Once we fully absorb these resources, we shall soar to unparalleled heights."
Within the grand hall, 18 Half-Step Celestial Immortals gazed upon the treasures before them, each revealing faint smiles of satisfaction.
Eldrin also smiled faintly. These supreme-grade eighth-order Dao Origins were truly extraordinary—once refined, they could nurture a dozen or so Half-Step Celestial Immortals. Of course, allowing Earth Immortals at the ninth layer to refine such treasures would be an utter waste. The optimal choice was to let the assembled companions refine them for breakthrough. With this thought, Eldrin curved his lips into a subtle smile and said, "Let us take stock of our gains."
Eldrin declared as he began cataloging the treasures in his possession. Soon, an inventory was laid bare before them. In this battle, they had slain 17 half-step Celestial Immortals, and the spoils they seized were nothing short of staggering.
抛开珍贵宝物不谈，仅仅只是八阶极品以下的奇珍宝物，价值就抵得上七亿枚仙源，合击每人身上宝物的价值就接近四千万枚仙源。
These treasures were but a small portion; the truly precious ones were those of the eighth rank and above.
These treasures are broadly categorized into Dao Origins, Taiyi Immortal Treasures, Pangu Supreme Treasures, or rare artifacts of comparable value. Among them, the Pangu Supreme Treasures and supreme-grade Pangu rare artifacts number as many as 30-2 in total.
7 Great Immortal Treasures of the Primordial Unity, 3 Supreme Mystical Relics, and a total of 17 pinnacle-grade Dao Origins.
After taking stock of the gains, Eldrin spoke up, "Now that we've tallied our harvest, let's discuss how to divide it."
Hearing this, everyone smiled faintly and turned their gazes toward the treasure before them.
Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) spoke up, "I have assigned military merit values to these treasures based on their worth. You may exchange them using your accumulated merits." "If multiple individuals desire the same treasure, priority shall be given to those with higher merit."
Witnessing this, the assembly voiced no objections and immediately began exchanging treasures with immense delight.
Daoist Zixuan immediately seized the opportunity to claim the Dao Origin of the Silent Thunder God. This particular Dao Origin resonated perfectly with his own cultivation path. Once fully refined, its effects would likely surpass even those of a dual Taiyi foundation Dao Origin.
The Flame Divinity Li Yan obtained the Third Divine Son's Dao Source. This Third Divine Son was among the finest of those with dual Taiyi foundations, his combat prowess approaching that of an 8-Calamity Earth Immortal.
She estimated that after refining it, she would likely step into the realm of 8 Tribulation Earth Immortals. By then, she would fear nothing even when facing 2 or 3 opponents with Dual Taiyi Foundations.
The Nether Sovereign of the Ancient Ruins exchanged for the Dao Origin of the Netherflame True Monarch. This Dao Origin contained the essence of Netherworld Flame, and once refined, it would grant him a dramatic surge in power. As for the remaining Dao Origins with dual Taiyi foundations, they were incompatible with the Crystal Divine Monarch’s attributes. Instead of acquiring these treasures, she exchanged for 5 Dao Origins with single Taiyi foundations.
Witnessing this scene, a faint glimmer stirred in Eldrin's eyes.
These 5 strands of Dao Source were of no use to existences with dual Taiyi foundations. The Glazed Divine Lord had acquired them for a purpose that was clearly far from simple.
Seeing this, the Glazed Divine Monarch smiled faintly. "5 sisters in our clan have been trapped at the Earth Immortal Perfection stage for many years. This is the perfect opportunity for them to achieve a breakthrough in 1 fell swoop." Upon hearing this, the crowd couldn't help but feel a slight tremor of astonishment.
It must be understood that the 3 daughters of the Sun, Moon, and Stars under the master of Glazed Paradise had only recently broken through the ninth level of Earth Immortality, and were still some time away from reaching the half-step Celestial Immortal realm. The 5 individuals mentioned by the Glazed Divine Monarch at this moment were undoubtedly the hidden foundations of Glazed Paradise.
At this thought, Eldrin smiled and said, "The Immortal Shell Clan truly lives up to its reputation as the most prosperous among the 100 Immortal Races. Such profound heritage is indeed extraordinary." The Glazed Divine Monarch replied with a faint smile, "It hardly compares to the Chen Clan’s legacy."
At these words, the group proceeded to distribute the treasures.
All 12 half-step Celestial Immortals of the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) had already established dual Taiyi foundations. Moreover, owing to their abundant resources and mastery of Mysterious Grade divine abilities, their combat prowess was truly comparable to that of Eighth Tribulation Earth Immortals.
For those below the Seventh Tribulation, a supreme-grade Dao Source merely aids in accumulating foundational power, incapable of propelling them to greater heights.
However, to attempt the breakthrough into the 3 Primordial Unity realm, even the Dao Origin forged from a foundation of 7 Calamities and Dual Primordial Unity would only play a minor role. Thus, this time they did not prioritize obtaining the Dao Origin.
After the 7 Mysteries Daoist and the Abyssal Daoist each selected a supreme-grade Dao Origin, the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) finally began to choose their treasures.
Among the remaining Dao Sources, only 2 supreme-grade Dao Sources with dual Taiyi foundations remained: the Dao Source of Patriarch Xigeng and that of the Second Holy Son.
The Second Saint Son cultivates the Great Dao of Yang, while Patriarch Xigeng focuses on the Great Dao of Metal. Those suited for this path include Eldrin, Lyra, Chen Ethan, and Chen Qiyuan—4 individuals in total.
Eldrin made the decision on the spot and handed both fragments of the Dao Origin to Chen Qiyuan.
These 2 Dao Origins were both of extraordinary value, yet refining either 1 alone would hardly suffice to forge a 3 Taiyi Foundation. Moreover, Eldrin and Lyra possessed foundations far too profound—even if the Ji Clan refined such treasures, achieving a breakthrough would remain exceedingly difficult.
Eldrin believed that after refining Chen Qiyuan, his foundation would become flawless and complete, increasing his chances of attaining the 3 Primordial Origins Foundation by 10 to 20 percent. By then, supplemented with treasures such as the Innate 5 Elements Fruit, the Innate Primordial Origin Elixir, and the Innate Enlightenment Lotus Seeds, this Patriarch Donghuang would likely become the first in the clan to truly achieve the 3 Primordial Origins Foundation.
