Chapter 411 Silas Golden Core

Since exploring the ruins was no longer possible, Eldrin had no intention of remaining in The Vast Sea.

He glanced at Chen Silas (Person Name) and spoke, "I'm returning to Ji Province. Will you be coming back with us?"

Chen Silas (Person Name) wore a conflicted expression, yet he nodded and said, "My training this time has been sufficient. Once my injuries heal, I can break through to the Golden Core realm."

"There's no need for you to wait any longer. First, recover from your injuries, then seize the momentum to break through to the Golden Core realm."

Lyra's eyes flickered slightly as she produced a Yang-Returning Calamity-Dispelling Pill and handed it to her. "While a gentleman may wait 10 years for revenge, a lady settles scores from dawn till dusk. When the time comes, I shall take you to claim vengeance."

"You just focus on beheading that Gu Qingshu. Should anyone dare stand in your way, I'll cut them down for you."

"Th...thank you, Aunt Lyra (Person Name)."

This caused Chen Silas (Person Name) to pause briefly. Her breathing grew somewhat hurried, as if she were at a loss, and in the end, she spoke the words herself.

Chen Silas obtained the Yang-Returning Calamity-Dispelling Pill (Spiritual Object) and spent 3 months recovering from his injuries. Thereafter, he began secluded cultivation to break through to the Golden Core realm.

Since there was no fourth-order spirit vein here, Eldrin even produced a primordial Heavenly Crystal. Compared to spirit stones, the primordial Heavenly Crystal contained not only vastly greater energy but also traces of primordial power.

This treasure is of utmost rarity; even a Golden Core cultivator would hesitate to consume it. The fact that Chen Silas (Person Name) could use 1 during his breakthrough to the Golden Core realm surely increased his chances of success by a considerable margin.

However, should the breakthrough fail, the additional waste of 1 Origin Heavenly Crystal (Spiritual Object) would likely be a price hefty enough to leave many Golden Core cultivators reeling.

Chen Silas's breakthrough to the Golden Core realm lasted a full 3 months, ultimately culminating in a successful ascension.

As the tribulation clouds in the sky began to gather, Eldrin let out a slight sigh of relief.

When Chen Silas (Person Name) broke through to the Violet Mansion realm, it had taken him a considerable amount of time. Yet now, advancing to the Golden Core realm, he managed to achieve 2 consecutive breakthroughs—truly making up for all the time he had lost.

This girl was 12 years younger than Eldrin, not yet 2 100 and 80 years old. To form her Golden Core at such an age—and a mid-grade Golden Core at that—her future potential would likely not fall short of prodigies like Astrael.

Most crucially, during this training journey, she had retrieved treasures for the family including the Earth Mother Qi (Spiritual Root) and the Fire Vein Spirit Jade. These treasures would prove immensely useful to Eldrin (Person Name) and Lyra (Person Name).

With this monumental merit now falling into her hands, her cultivation path would henceforth be unimpeded. Should any infant-soul formation treasures emerge in the future, she would undoubtedly be among the first to claim them.

Thunder roared incessantly across the sky. Fortunately, Chen Silas (Person Name) possessed numerous magical treasures, including the protective fourth-tier defensive artifact, Blazing Gold Pearl (Magic Treasure). Thus, he managed to survive the heavenly tribulation unscathed after all.

After surviving the lightning tribulation, Silas descended from the sky and exclaimed joyfully, "Uncle Eldrin, I've succeeded!"

"Not bad."

Eldrin smiled faintly and patted her head gently. "Let's go claim our vengeance."

In the southeastern corner of The Vast Sea (Location), a majestic spirit island stood towering between heaven and earth.

On the spirit island, several figures of extraordinary bearing gathered together, led by none other than Alaric, Lord of the Frostbitten Alliance (Person Name).

Beside them, an elder in black robes toasted the guests, while a beautiful woman in cyan gossamer robes poured wine into their cups from a tea set.

The woman wore a sheer cyan gown that revealed her form, the translucent gauze lending an ethereal beauty to her silhouette. The faint outline of her snow-white, graceful figure shimmered through, carrying an indescribable allure.

At this moment, she looked utterly pitiable, her voice choked with sobs as she spoke, "Back then, that Silas (Person Name) kept the treasure all to himself. I couldn't bear the resentment, so I leaked the information."

"Now that wretched woman has climbed to a higher branch, she will most likely come seeking revenge against me. I beseech all Ancestors to uphold justice for this humble 1."

As she spoke, the woman deliberately let her garments flutter, feigning a faint as she leaned toward Alaric, Lord of the Frostbitten Alliance (Person Name).

But in that very instant, a cold glint flashed in Hanchuan Zhenren's eyes as he flicked his sleeve, sending her flying backward.

In an instant, the scene fell into a hushed stillness. Seeing the woman’s face turn deathly pale, the black-robed elder immediately rose to his feet and scolded, “You wretched creature! How dare you employ seductive arts before someone as esteemed as Alaric, Lord of the Frostbitten Alliance (Person Name)!”

"Get lost. Now."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Gu Qingshu's expression shifted slightly, and she hastily retreated as if a great burden had been lifted from her shoulders.

After she had departed, the black-robed elder offered an apology, "My daughter lacks propriety, I beg for your forgiveness, Alliance Leader."

"There is no need for formalities."

That Alaric, Lord of the Frostbitten Alliance (Person Name) offered a faint smile, granting this Golden Core cultivator a measure of face.

Seeing that Elder Hanchuan showed no intention of pursuing the matter, the black-robed elder promptly rose to his feet and inquired, "Dare I ask, Honored 1, will those 2 truly come?"

"With their supreme Golden Cores, the 2 of them could traverse the entire The Vast Sea (Location) as they pleased."

Alaric, Lord of the Frostbitten Alliance (Person Name) took a sip of tea and remarked with detached calm, "Slaying Gu Qingshu would be but the work of a moment—a force none of us could withstand."

"What shall we do now?" The Golden Core elder of the Gu clan turned ashen with terror, clutching Alaric, Lord of the Frostbitten Alliance's sleeve as he pleaded, "This old man has but this 1 daughter—she is our Gu clan's most promising candidate to break through to the Golden Core realm."

"I beseech the Alliance Master, for the sake of our covenant, to save my daughter's life."

"Hmph—"

Lord Alaric of the Frostbitten Alliance (Person Name) let out a cold sneer and set down his teacup.

He gazed calmly into the distant void and remarked with serene composure, "I came for the Earth Mother Qi (Spiritual Root), and I certainly won't be returning empty-handed."

At the same time, right at the edge of his vision, 3 streaks of light tore through the void and arrived before him in the blink of an eye.

The 3 of them arrived before the Ancient Clan Spirit Island, standing silently in the void.

Eldrin cast a glance toward the island, his gaze fixed firmly on Hanchuan Zhenren as he said, "Do you dare stand in my way?"

Elder Hanchuan stepped forth with serene composure, his tone detached as he spoke, "The Earth Mother Qi (Spiritual Root) is of paramount importance. Should you be willing to relinquish it, I shall depart at once."

"Then there is nothing more to discuss."

Eldrin spoke coldly, the Twin Celestial Parting Swords in his hand soaring toward the heavens.

But at that very moment, a pristine white crane emerged from the distant void. Its form was ethereal and elegant, its posture transcendent and extraordinary, carrying an air of immortal grace.

"Heavenly Crane Demon King?"

Lyra's eyes turned frosty. The immortal crane before her was actually a powerful demonic cultivator at the Pseudo-Infant Stage.

Watching the strongest demon king of The Vast Sea arrive, Eldrin’s eyes flashed with a trace of coldness. “You’ve colluded with the demon race?”

"If I can forge an Earth Attainment Nascent Soul, what does it matter if I collude with the demon tribes?" True Lord Hanchuan spoke indifferently, not even bothering to mind the presence of the Sky Crane Demon King. "Once I break through to the Nascent Soul stage, The Vast Sea will naturally bow to my sole authority."

"Even if Sky Crane Demon King and Blood Robe Ancestor were to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, they could only join forces to stand against this venerable 1."

He fixed his gaze on Eldrin and declared, "If you truly care for the human race of The Vast Sea, you should entrust the Earth Path Qi to me."

"Hah—"

Lyra let out a cold sneer, the Heaven-Void Immortal-Slaying Sword in her hand slicing directly toward her opponent.

The Sky Crane Demon King cast a glance at Hanchuan Zhenren and spoke coldly, "As agreed, the Earth Mother Qi (Spiritual Root) shall be yours, and the Fire Vein Spirit Jade shall be mine. Do not go back on your word."

In the blink of an eye, the 2 sides were already locked in combat.

Eldrin fought the Sky Crane Demon King alone, his Heaven-Sundering Twin Swords weaving through the air with masterful precision. The 1000-Demon Slaying Sword cleaved through the battlefield with unstoppable sharpness, its blade descending relentlessly.
