Chapter 251 Purple Palace Fivefold, Spirit Refinement Perfected

Eldrin's mind raced through countless thoughts as he recalled the information he had gradually uncovered.

Over the years, he had gradually uncovered the truth: both the Eastern Wastelands (Location) and the cultivation world of the East Sea had been established only in the last 10 1000 years.

In the distant past, this was all territory of demonic cultivators and the demon race. In that era, the humans living within this vast domain were nothing but blood sustenance for demons and monsters.

After organizing his thoughts, Eldrin (Person Name) rode his sword into the Sea of Flaming Prison Fire.

Within the Sea of Blazing Prison Flames lies a forbidden land, where almost no trace of life exists.

But the moment Eldrin stepped inside, an endless wave of killing intent surged toward him, forcing him to immediately focus his divine sense to resist.

In this confrontation, his divine sense was continuously being depleted, yet it was also imperceptibly growing more powerful.

"In such an environment, 1's divine consciousness remains perpetually under pressure, while the visualization of cultivation techniques gains an intensified sense of authenticity."

"No wonder Magnus the Virtuous Lord (Person Name) said that cultivating soul-refining arts here would achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Eldrin flew 1 100 1000 miles deep into the Inferno Fire Sea before discovering a mountain ridge, where he began cultivating the Great Sun Visualization Art.

He lowered his gaze and began his cultivation. In a trance, he saw a colossal sun suspended in the sky, raining endless streams of True Solar Flames that engulfed the world, transforming it into a blazing purgatory.

Sunfall Ridge.

This Great Sun Visualization Art and the Sea of Flaming Prison complemented each other perfectly, unexpectedly forming a new visualization image—the Ridge of the Falling Sun.

A stroke of inspiration struck him. He hastily consumed a Nourishing Soul Elixir and immediately commenced rapid cultivation.

Before long, his soul refinement cultivation surged dramatically, breaking through to the 7th layer of the Violet Palace realm.

And this was merely the beginning. In such an environment, his soul cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, requiring only 4 years to break through 2 more layers and reach the Great Perfection of the Violet Mansion.

A cultivator's spiritual sense is of paramount importance. While ordinary individuals can begin to assail the Purple Mansion upon reaching Great Perfection, it was still insufficient for Eldrin (Person Name).

He had never relied on external aids to break through major realms throughout his journey, and with the tempering of 4 soul-bound magic treasures refining his spiritual energy, the purity of his power far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators.

To achieve a breakthrough to the Golden Core realm, it would be best for him to cultivate his divine sense to the Golden Core level first, thereby gaining greater certainty of success.

"I can no longer cultivate."

On this day, Eldrin opened his eyes and ceased his cultivation.

The Spirit Tempering Method (Cultivation Art) was excessively draining on his primordial spirit. He only possessed 3 Soul-Nourishing Pills (Elixir), which had long since been completely depleted.

To continue refining his spirit, he still needed to purchase some Nourishing Spirit Pills.

After concluding his soul refinement, Eldrin did not depart immediately. Having broken through to Purple Palace, Mid Stage over 19 years ago, his accumulated spiritual power had now reached sufficiency—it was time to advance to the fifth level of the Purple Palace.

Breaking through to the fifth level of the Violet Mansion presented no bottleneck for him. It came as naturally as water flowing downhill. He simply spent 1 month's time refining a considerable amount of spirit stones and smoothly stepped into the new realm.

It is done.

Both his spirit refinement and cultivation base had broken through simultaneously. In high spirits, Eldrin concluded his training session.

Having completed his cultivation, he had no intention of lingering in the Blazing Prison Fire Sea. He resolved to purchase the Soul-Nourishing Elixir and Sun Treasure Crystal (Spiritual Object) during the Grand Bartering Assembly before returning to continue refining his divine soul.

Emerging from the Blazing Inferno of Flames, he soared directly toward the Qinyuan Market.

The territory of the Yuan Kingdom was several times larger than that of the Chu Kingdom (Location), and the number of Zifu cultivators also exceeded that of the Chu Kingdom (Location) by multiple times.

Currently, the Chu Kingdom has barely over 150 Zifu (Cultivation Base) cultivators, while the Yuan Nation boasts 7 to 8 100 Zifu practitioners.

With so many Zifu practitioners gathered, the volume of transactions among them naturally multiplied. Thus, unlike the Chu Kingdom's Grand Bazaar held once every 30 years, the Yuan Kingdom's Grand Bazaar convened once every decade.

After waiting for 5 years, Eldrin finally witnessed the commencement of the Violet Mansion Trade Assembly of the Yuan Kingdom.

The Violet Manor Exchange Convention was held within the Qin Clan's Primordial Market. Due to the consistently high number of Foundation Establishment cultivators participating each time, the event was divided into 2 distinct trading formats.

A Zifu Cultivator could present 3 types of rare resources for open bidding. Alternatively, they could set fixed prices for items they wished to sell, allowing those with suitable treasures to make purchases.

Chapter 1 Eldrin had just stepped into the Qinyuan Market when he encountered a familiar face.

Yu Qingyan approached with a man and a woman, a smile gracing her lips as she said, “Brother Daoist, I never imagined we would meet here.”

"So it was Fairy Yu."

Eldrin smiled faintly and transmitted his voice without a trace of expression: "I have some enemies in the Yuan Kingdom. Please help conceal my presence."

"Save it."

Yu Qingyan was momentarily stunned, then swiftly collected herself, completing the exchange in an instant.

Just then, the woman nearby smiled and asked, "Sister, who might this be?"

"This is Brother Wei." Yu Qingyan gave a faint smile and said, "I came from the Sky Spine Mountains, traveling alongside Brother Wei to pass through together."

As she spoke, she introduced Eldrin, "This is the Ethereal Beauty Immortal I mentioned to you, and this is Lord of Peach Blossom Mountain, the Carefree Sage Qingci."

"I have long looked forward to meeting you."

Eldrin greeted politely, finally understanding that the reason Fairy Qingyan and Yu Qingyan had become such close confidantes was initially due to their strikingly similar names.

He studied the 2 individuals, noting that Fairy Qingyan had reached the third level of the Violet Mansion realm, while the Carefree Scholar Qingci was already at the sixth level—even brushing against the threshold of the seventh.

The carefree and aloof Elder Qingci cast a brief glance at Eldrin (Person Name), offering only a silent nod without uttering a word.

The group entered the exchange venue together when Yu Qingyan inquired, "Brother Dao, have you come to acquire Sun Treasure Crystal (Spiritual Object)?"

"Mm." Eldrin nodded calmly and asked, "What about you?"

That rarely outspoken Elder Qingci remarked placidly, "See if we can acquire the Violet Qi Cloud-Vein Pill."

After chatting for a while, the Artifact Exchange Convention finally commenced.

Eldrin observed the gathering and discovered, to his astonishment, that over 2 100 Purple Mansion cultivators had ultimately participated in this trade assembly.

With so many Zifu cultivators present, it is no wonder the Exchange Fair of Yuan Kingdom could be held once every decade. Truly worthy of a colossal cultivation nation spanning millions of miles.

The first to take the stage was naturally the Qin Immortal Clan.

This time, the Qin Immortal Clan had 3 items up for auction, yet each was a treasure of the fourth tier.

Eldrin glanced up and immediately abandoned any thought of bidding. Currently, 3 items were being presented by the Qin Clan.

The items were: a fourth-tier magic treasure, a Golden Core Formation Pill (Spiritual Object), and a Creation Green Essence Pill (Spiritual Object).

That fourth-tier lower-grade magic treasure fetched a staggering price of 1,300,000 spirit stones, while the Golden Core Formation Pill (Spiritual Object) was bid up to 2,800,000 spirit stones, ultimately acquired by a certain Golden Core immortal family through the auction.

The final Creation Green Essence Pill (Spiritual Object) was ultimately exchanged by someone for a single fourth-tier spiritual herb. Following this, several other Golden Core immortal clans presented treasures so exceedingly valuable that Eldrin (Person Name) didn’t even entertain the thought of bidding.

Chapter 1 The biting cold wind swept across the mountain peaks, carrying with it the scent of snow and blood. Lin Feng knelt on the ground, his white robes stained crimson. Before him lay the shattered remains of his spiritual sword, its glow extinguished forever. "1 100 years," he whispered, his voice barely audible over the howling wind. "1 100 years of cultivation, destroyed in a single night." In the distance, the ancient bell of the Heavenly Peak Sect tolled, its mournful sound echoing through the valleys. The once majestic sect now lay in ruins, its pavilions collapsed and its protective formations broken. A figure emerged from the swirling snow. "Lin Feng," the voice called, familiar yet distant. "The Eldrin(Person Name) has fallen. The demonic cultivators have taken the Spirit Convergence Array(Formation)." Lin Feng's hands clenched into fists. "How many survived?" "Less than a dozen," the figure replied, his face grim. "The enemy took over 10,000 spirit stones and countless cultivation manuals. They even stole the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss(Magic Treasure)." Looking up at the blood-red moon, Lin Feng remembered his master's words from years past: "The path of cultivation is paved with countless trials. Only those with unwavering determination can hope to reach the pinnacle." He rose to his feet, his eyes burning with newfound resolve. Though his dantian(Cultivation Base) had been damaged and his cultivation level had dropped from the Golden Core Stage(Cultivation Realm) to the Foundation Establishment Stage(Cultivation Realm), something within him had changed. A strange warmth spread through his meridians, different from the spiritual energy he had cultivated for over a 100 years. It was purer, more ancient, as if awakening some long-dormant power within his bloodline. "The Heavenly Yin Body(Special Physique)," he murmured in realization. "It's awakening." As the last echo of the bell faded into the night, Lin Feng knew his journey was far from over. Somewhere deep in the western mountains, hidden among the clouds, lay the lost ruins of the Ancient Void Sect(Sect Name). There, perhaps, he would find the means to restore what had been lost - and exact his revenge. The snow continued to fall, covering the scars of battle, as a new chapter in the eternal struggle between light and darkness began to unfold.
