Chapter 477 Grotto-Heaven Spiritual Treasure

At this thought, Eldrin pondered for a moment before speaking, "Once we break through to the Nascent Soul stage, we can begin cleansing the demonic cultivation forbidden grounds."

Lyra nodded, then recalled the Tracking Heavenly Dao Rune on Eldrin's body.

Her gaze grew slightly solemn, tinged with a hint of killing intent as she said, "We have no shortage of enemies. Who do you think would dare cast the Heaven’s Secrets Curse on you?"

Eldrin fell into a brief contemplation before responding, "Though our list of foes is long, those who have attained the Nascent Soul realm are but a handful."

"Merely the Black Fiend Ridge, along with the Golden Rhinoceros Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) of the demon race and the few surviving demon monarchs from the Emerald Wave Lake."

However, the spiritual souls of the demon race were inferior to those of humans, and their innate talent for the ways of celestial divination paled in comparison. The very cultivation method that had made Patriarch Blackshade renowned was not rooted in the Dao of Celestial Divination.

At this point, his gaze turned slightly cold as he said, "Then the most likely possibility would be..."

Eldrin paused, his gaze drifting toward the distant void as speculation solidified in his mind.

Aside from the demon tribes and devil cultivators, their greatest enemies were none other than the Qin Clan. Moreover, only the Qin Immortal Clan possessed the capability to accomplish such a feat.

"It seems they have also noticed and are attempting to investigate my origins."

Eldrin spoke, his gaze growing increasingly solemn. The Qin Clan now boasted 2 True Monarchs within their ranks, establishing them as a formidable Nascent Soul lineage—a force absolutely not to be underestimated.

Seeing his apparent concern, Lyra reassured him, "Do not worry. With our current combat strength, even if the 2 from the Qin clan join forces, we have nothing to fear."

"I am aware of that." Eldrin nodded, yet his tone remained grave. "My only concern is that they might strike against our clan in the shadows when we depart from Jizhou for the Eastern Sea cultivation realm."

Lyra smiled confidently and said, "There's no need to worry about that either. With my second Nascent Soul and the Sun-Moon Twin Wheels guarding Azure Lotus Isle, plus the mutual support between Yan Kingdom and Ling Kingdom, it's more than enough to ensure the family's safety."

Moreover, Ji Province was the territory of the Ji Clan, with the senior Green Abyss Sword (Magic Treasure) stationed within the underwater veins of Spirit Isle Lake (Location), who would undoubtedly lend assistance when necessary.

Eldrin nodded slightly. The Green Abyss Sword was originally a Supreme Treasure of Pure Yang, but it had been shattered by the Garuda Heavenly Demon's strike, leaving it incomplete and damaged to this day.

Yet this sword was, after all, the Pure Yang Immortal Sword that shook the world with its might. When unleashed at full power, it would undoubtedly unleash an earth-shattering force, capable of slaying demons and vanquishing evil.

Over the years, the Green Abyss Sword (Magic Treasure) had been absorbing power from the fifth-order water vein. Though it had not regained its full might, nearly half of its potency had been restored. When unleashed at full strength, it was capable of annihilating a True Monarch at the early or middle Nascent Soul stage in a single strike.

However, its injuries had not yet fully healed. If it were to act recklessly, its wounds would undoubtedly worsen, and it might even face the risk of disintegration. Thus, it would not intervene unless absolutely necessary.

With the safety of his clan now secured, Eldrin (Person Name) refrained from further comment.

Taking advantage of the early hour, they decided to browse the roadside stalls of the Azure Luan Market, hoping to stumble upon some serendipitous opportunity.

However, finding such bargains was far from easy. Although Eldrin had cultivated the Jade Spirit Pupil to its great perfection over the years, ocular techniques were by no means exceptionally rare across the realm.

To avoid missing out on precious treasures and serendipitous opportunities, the vast majority of Golden Core cultivators would practice some form of divine pupil technique. Many Nascent Soul True Lords cultivated pupil arts that far surpassed the Jade Spirit Eyes in power and sophistication.

Although the stalls in the Azure Luan Market were as numerous as mountains and seas, any truly valuable treasures that emerged had long been discreetly purchased by other cultivators.

Even if there were still divine artifacts concealing their brilliance, remaining hidden among them where others had failed to find them, Eldrin would still find it exceedingly difficult to locate them.

After 3 days of browsing the market, Eldrin hadn't found any precious relics, but he had purchased numerous rare spirit herb seeds from the Ji Province region. He planned to bring them back to the Chen Kingdom for his clan to establish an exclusive trade—hardly a fruitless endeavor.

Time thus slipped swiftly by, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the Exchange Assembly had arrived.

The trade gathering was held at the Featherflight Pavilion. Eldrin, along with Freya and others, stepped through the entrance into the hall.

Chapter 1 The Featherflight Pavilion was less a pavilion and more a miniature realm. Before them stretched a world of towering, emerald-green mountains, wreathed in lingering strands of immortal qi.

Rare and exotic beasts thrived and multiplied within, ancient spirit trees and venerable herbs radiated with ethereal light, while waves of extraordinary phenomena assailed the senses.

Pavilions and towers drifted amidst the skies, where celestial cranes soared and danced amidst swirling clouds—a truly majestic display of immortal grandeur.

Upon entering the Flying Feather Pavilion, Eldrin found himself standing atop 1 of its ornate pavilions.

Dongtian Spiritual Treasure (Magic Treasure).

Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly as he recognized the origin of this Featherflight Pavilion.

A Grotto-Heaven spiritual treasure is a rare and unique type of spiritual artifact. Although such treasures possess limited combat prowess, they can contain all things and even nurture the vitality of heaven and earth.

Before him stood the Featherborne Pavilion, spanning approximately a 1000 li in expanse. It was said that generations of True Monarchs from the Featherborne Pavilion had spent millennia excavating and refining a 5-peak spirit mountain spanning a 1000 li to forge this divine sanctuary.

Once this treasure is forged, it can accommodate hundreds of millions of living beings—from an entire sect to a whole continent—within it. 1 could even traverse tens of millions of miles through the void with ease while carrying it.

It was precisely because they possessed this treasure that the Featherflight Pavilion was able to preserve the foundational heritage of Qingluan Continent (Location) when the cultivation world of Eastern Wastelands (Location) collapsed thousands of years ago.

Back then, over half of the Eastern Wastelands (Location) was breached by the Outer Realm Demons. Countless humans fell to the slaughter of demonic cultivators, and innumerable sects, immortal clans, and even entire continents were reduced to dust.

Only Qingluan Continent (Location), under the protection of this cave heaven spiritual treasure, retained sufficient foundation, ultimately awaiting Emperor Jiang's return with humankind to reclaim the Eastern Wastelands (Location).

Although this Grotto-Heaven Spiritual Treasure was not particularly formidable in combat, its value was nearly on par with half a Supreme Treasure of Pure Yang (Magic Treasure).

"Alas, to forge this treasure requires at least several Grade-5 Superior Void Gems (Spiritual Object). This single requirement alone would deter 90 percent of Nascent Soul immortal families, let alone the need for a Grade-5 spirit vein and massive quantities of heaven-and-earth spiritual treasures."

Eldrin murmured inwardly. To his knowledge, among all immortal clans across the 3 Veins Ancient Domain, those who possessed Grotto-Heaven Spirit Treasures could be counted on 1 hand.

Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, his eyes flickered slightly as he sensed waves of aura, profound and deep like an abyss.

Eldrin raised his gaze, and as he took in the surroundings of the Featherflight Pavilion, a faint tremor stirred within his heart.

To his astonishment, no fewer than 123 Nascent Soul Realm Elders (Cultivation Realm) had gathered for the Exchange Assembly.

An exchange gathering at the Nascent Soul level was far too rare. All attendees were esteemed figures of the True Lord realm, which explained why the Flying Feather Pavilion was willing to bring out such a Grotto-Heaven Spiritual Treasure to host the assembly.

Seemingly sensing Eldrin’s astonishment, Feiye the Nightbane chuckled and said, “Across the vast expanse of a 100 realms, the Grand Bazaar of Exchange is held only once every 100 years.”

Most True Lords with leisure would come to take a look, for fifth-tier treasures were exceedingly rare. Only at an exchange gathering of the True Lord level would 1 have a greater chance of acquiring treasures suited to oneself.
