Chapter 406 Nascent Soul Legacy Treasure

"So it's a senior from the Outer Realms."

A look of delight crossed Xu Qingyun's face before he began introducing Eldrin (Person Name).

As Xu Qingyun explained, Eldrin gained some understanding of the situation in The Vast Sea. Among the human forces within The Vast Sea, the most powerful faction was none other than the Spirit Island Alliance.

Similar to the Heavenrelic Alliance, the Spirit Isle Alliance was a mutual defense and assistance organization formed by the united efforts of all rogue cultivators and clans of the human race across The Vast Sea (Location).

Eldrin had gained a general understanding of their strength from Huangmu Island, but it was only through Xu Qingyun’s account that he truly grasped the formidable power of the Spirit Island Alliance.

The Spirit Island Alliance boasted a total of 71 Golden Core (Cultivation Realm) cultivators, among whom 9 were powerful adepts at the Golden Core, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm).

The leader of the Spirit Island Alliance was known as Hanchuan Zhenren. He was a cultivator with a Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) and was said to have forged a superior-grade Golden Core. With his False Infant stage cultivation, he ranked among the most formidable experts within the alliance.

Speaking of Alaric, Lord of the Frostbitten Alliance, Xu Qingyun’s face brimmed with reverence as he said, “Our Alaric was born a natural seed for the Dao, with talent so rare it stands out across the entire realm.”

He established his Foundation at 20, formed his Purple Mansion at 50, and broke through to the Golden Core realm on his own before reaching 2 100 years of age. Now, as he stands at the threshold of the Nascent Soul realm, he is merely 5 100 years old.

Eldrin’s brow twitched slightly. Such talent could truly be considered rare—this Hanchuan Zhenren’s potential was no less formidable than Yan Zijis.

After gaining some basic understanding of the Spirit Island Alliance, Eldrin inquired about the Chen Clan ruins in The Vast Sea (Location): "Even beyond The Vast Sea (Location), I've heard tales of a Nascent Soul ruins within its domain."

"I have also come to pay my respects and witness this matter for myself, though I am uncertain whether it is true or false."

Xu Qingyun exchanged a glance with Xu Qingming beside him. After a moment of contemplation, he finally spoke, "There is indeed the legend of the Chen Clan's Celestial Vault Isle (Location) ruins. However, that Celestial Vault Isle (Location) has long since sunk into the depths of The Vast Sea (Location)."

"We know his approximate location, but after searching for years we've never found him. Who knows if that location is real or false."

Seeing that he was unaware of the news, Eldrin nodded and asked, "Could you give me a copy of the map?"

"How dare I refuse."

Xu Qingyun hastily produced a map, marked the suspected location of Celestial Vault Isle (Location), and handed it to Eldrin (Person Name).

Eldrin glanced at the map and gave a calm nod. Such maps could not be falsified—were it otherwise, he need only ask a few more Zi Palace cultivators to cross-reference them and any discrepancies would immediately be revealed.

Putting away the map, Eldrin remarked, "I wonder if there are any suitable places within The Vast Sea for Golden Core cultivators to settle?"

"Senior, are you seeking to lease a fourth-tier cave dwelling?" Xu Qingyun inquired. Seeing Eldrin nod in confirmation, he smiled and said, "3 million li to the east lies Lingxu Island—a spirit island exclusively designated for independent cultivators seeking temporary residences."

"Most of the Golden Core (Cultivation Realm) rogue cultivators in our The Vast Sea (Location) who lack fourth-grade spirit veins end up settling there."

"Understood."

Eldrin glanced at the map and casually tossed him a vial of elixirs. "We appreciate your guidance."

Xu Qingyun clutched the jade vial, his face lighting up with delight as he promptly rose to his feet.

"Senior, please follow me."

The group boarded the Azure Sun Treasure Ark and, guided by the 2 individuals, reached the Ethereal Void Island in merely a dozen or so days.

Upon arriving at Spirit Void Island, Eldrin immediately rented a fourth-tier cave abode and began his secluded cultivation.

He had broken through to the Golden Core, Mid Stage some years prior. Though he had been constantly traveling since then, his cultivation had never stagnated. Now that his spiritual power had reached perfect harmony, he naturally sought to seize this opportunity to advance directly to the Golden Core, 5th Tier.

This seclusion lasted for 3 months before Eldrin (Person Name) finally emerged from the meditation chamber.

As he emerged from the seclusion chamber, Lyra (Person Name) promptly inquired, "How do you feel?"

"Everything went rather smoothly."

Eldrin smiled faintly. There were no bottlenecks in breaking through to the Golden Core, 5th Tier; this time, his success came as naturally as water flowing downhill.

Seeing him confirm it with his own words, Lyra smiled and said, "It seems that after returning to the Chu Kingdom, we should start planning for your Guiyun Creation Pill."

Hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) smiled imperceptibly. "During my time in seclusion, have there been any major events?"

"There is 1 matter, however." Lyra paused briefly before continuing, "Rumors say not long ago, a female cultivator accidentally obtained part of the Chen Clan's legacy from The Vast Sea. Now both the demon and monster races are hunting her down everywhere."

"Oh?"

Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly as he promptly rose to his feet. "Let's go take a look as well," he said.

"Hmm."

Lyra nodded. Even a fraction of the Nascent Soul immortal clan’s legacy would tempt Golden Core cultivators, let alone the possibility of news regarding the Celestial Vault Isle.

Having decided to investigate, the 2 did not linger on Lingxu Island. That very day, they flew toward the waters near Celestial Vault Isle (Location).

Meanwhile, far away across the ocean several million miles distant.

4 streaks of light pursued a fleeing figure, swiftly closing in until they encircled the silhouette amidst the void.

"Little girl, where else can you run?"

"Hand over the Nascent Soul's legacy treasure, and I shall grant you an intact corpse today."

A black-robed elder let out a sinister laugh as he struck, raising his hand to unleash a set of pitch-black formation flags that enveloped the void.

Surrounded on all sides, the woman’s figure was graceful, and her cultivation had already reached the False Core realm. Yet at this moment, her brows furrowed, a grave expression crossing her face.

The black-robed elder was a demonic cultivator at the Golden Core, Early Stage (Cultivation Realm), while the remaining 3 veteran demons all possessed cultivation bases at Purple Palace, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) or higher.

"Are we truly going to resort to that technique?"

Seeing the woman lost in thought, the black-robed elder let out a sinister laugh and summoned a demonic energy hand to seize her.

The woman’s gaze sharpened, and from between her brows emerged a golden pearl, radiant and gleaming. It erupted with raging flames, blocking the advance of the black-robed elder.

"Blazing Gold Pearl, what a fine treasure."

The Golden Core elder demon revealed a look of greed and hastily summoned several Purple Mansion fiends, saying, "Strike now."

Seeing several attackers closing in, the woman gritted her silver teeth and revealed a resolute expression.

With a flick of her hand, she summoned a spiritual talisman that erupted into a blaze of brilliant Pure Yang flames. In an instant, the formation flags were engulfed and ignited, reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.

"Solar True Flame!" The Golden Core elder demon let out a piercing shriek. "Ah! My demonic treasure!"

The remaining 3 demonic cultivators of the Violet Mansion, though possessing considerable magical power, were instantly transformed into blazing torches upon contact with the Solar Truefire. Their demonic energy, rather than resisting the flames, became fuel for the incandescent inferno, rendering all attempts to extinguish it utterly futile.

Witnessing the might of the Solar Trueflame, the Golden Core elder demon exclaimed in shock, "A fourth-rank magic treasure, and even the Solar Trueflame! What is your true origin?"

"Go ask in the Netherworld."

The woman's gaze sharpened, and with lethal intent, she unleashed a resplendent spirit talisman.

At the sight of that talisman, the Golden Core Elder Demon’s face twisted in despair as he hastily fled for his life, exclaiming, “A supreme divine ability, the Dual Polarity Divine Thunder (Cultivation Art)!”

"No—"

In the blink of an eye, a divine thunderbolt—crimson and azure intertwined—struck down with the speed of chasing stars and overtaking the moon, leaving no room for evasion. With a single blow, it reduced the Golden Core Elder Demon’s physical form to ashes of calamity.

After slaying the 4 Eldrin, the woman took a deep, pale breath.

Jian Dan swiftly stowed the storage pouch and immediately fled into the distance, not even pausing to scour the battlefield.
