Chapter 503. Fifth-Rank Heaven-Severing Twin Swords (Magic Treasure)

"I have fulfilled my mission with honor."

Eldrin spoke as he retrieved the Cloudsoar Fairy's cultivation manual legacy, along with the Flowing Sleeve Silk Ribbon, and handed them to Celestia, Queen of Spirits.

After completing all this, he gave a bitter smile and said, "But this Broad-Sleeved Long Ribbon has been infused with a vast amount of Demonic Fiend Qi (Spiritual Root). I'm afraid extracting it won't be easy."

"Worry not, I have my own means to extract it."

Celestia, Queen of Spirits (Person Name) smiled as she stored it away, then deliberately invited both to be seated. "Your gains from Kalo Demon Isle (Location) must have been tremendous," she remarked.

"How about we trade with each other and see if we can exchange for the treasures we each need?"

"Agreed." Eldrin nodded with a faint smile. "Might I inquire if the True Monarch happens to possess any gold-fire dual attribute spirit treasure materials, along with the Kun-Primordial Dao-Patterned Stone?"

Among Lyra's (Person Name) several Natal Spirit Treasures, both the External Incarnation and Heaven's Ruin Immortal-Slaying Sword had completed their ascension. However, the Mistwater Azure Lotus Throne required a fifth-grade treasure lotus as its crucial component—yet such fifth-grade lotuses were exceedingly rare to find.

The Hexa-Sphere Cauldron required fifth-grade precious metal with dual attributes of gold and fire to advance, while the Ji Earth Kun-Primordial Plate demanded the exceedingly rare Kun-Primordial Dao-Patterned Stone.

Eldrin sought these 2 treasures precisely for Lyra's sake.

Celestia, Queen of Spirits, blinked slightly upon hearing this and said, "The Kun-Primordial Dao-Pattern Stone is exceedingly rare. I'm afraid 1 would only have a decent chance of encountering it at a grand True Monarch exchange convention."

"However, I happen to possess a Blazing Gold Crystal—a 5-tier treasure with dual metal and fire attributes."

"Is that truly the case?"

Upon hearing this, both of them revealed joyful expressions. Lyra took out several captured treasures and asked, "I wonder if any have caught True Lord's eye? You may choose 1 for trade."

Celestia, Queen of Spirits (Person Name) glanced over, her pupils flickering slightly as she said, "Both the Bloodthirsty Sword and Soul-Devouring Spear are demonic treasures. We righteous cultivators cannot wield them at all. Even if smelted down for materials, their value would be drastically diminished."

"This Boundless Sea Ancient Tray and Void-Refining Furnace are rather exceptional. Why not sell them both to me? I'll add an additional sum of Heavenly Crystals (Spiritual Object) to acquire them—how does that sound?"

Eldrin (Person Name) pondered briefly. Among the artifacts seized this time, the most precious Qingxu Cauldron (Magic Treasure) served as the sect's foundational treasure and naturally could not be sold.

The Starry Bell would later be needed to forge the Astral Computator of the Great Deduction (Magic Treasure), and Eldrin (Person Name) naturally couldn’t bear to part with it either. For them, only these 4 treasures were viable for trade.

At this thought, Eldrin spoke up, "The Demon Refining Supreme Treasure is of extraordinary value. If you wish to purchase it, Senior, you must offer a fitting price."

"Easy enough."

Celestia, Queen of Spirits (Person Name) nodded slightly. A fifth-grade heaven-and-earth treasure was worth at least 60 Heavenly Crystals (Spiritual Object), while an inferior Demon-Subduing Supreme Treasure carried an approximate value of 100 Heavenly Crystals (Spiritual Object).

After some calculation, she simply used the Blazing Gold Crystal plus 14,000 Spirit Stones (Quantitative Description) to purchase the 2 spiritual treasures from Eldrin (Person Name).

After this transaction was completed, Eldrin found himself in possession of a substantial amount of Origin Heavenly Crystals. Should he ever encounter Kunyuan Dao-Patterned Stones again in the future, he would now have sufficient financial capacity to acquire them even at premium prices.

At this thought, both Eldrin and Lyra felt a surge of delight. They exchanged glances before asking, "I wonder if the Distant Sea Cultivation World has held any Grand Exchange Conferences in recent years?"

"Not in the past few years." Celestia, Queen of Spirits (Person Name) shook her head. "However, 20 years from now, there will be another Grand Barter Conference in the Great Roc Island waters. You may go and see if you can acquire the Kun-Primordial Dao-Patterned Stone (Cultivation Material)."

"In that case, my sincere gratitude."

After conversing cheerfully for a while longer, the 2 eventually took their leave and departed.

Returning to his cave abode, Eldrin did not immediately depart from the Heavenly Spirit Island.

He returned to the cavern abode with Lyra (Person Name), then spoke with measured deliberation: "Our gains this time are substantial. I intend to enter seclusion first to forge the Heavenly River Ren Water Sword (Magic Treasure)."

"As for the matter concerning Qing Ji, we shall investigate it further after we emerge from seclusion."

"Very well." Lyra gave a slight nod and said, "I shall take this opportunity to refine the 6 Harmony 8 Desolation Cauldron as well."

To forge a fifth-tier Natal Spirit Treasure, 1 would require an immense quantity of 5 Elements essence. Fortunately, Celestia, Queen of Spirits (Person Name) had amassed substantial reserves of 5 Elements essence in her storage.

They purchased a sufficient amount of 5 Elements essence from Celestia, Queen of Spirits (Person Name) at a 30 percent premium and began refining their Natal Spirit Treasures.

Time flew by in the blink of an eye, and 7 years had passed. On this day, Eldrin finally succeeded in forging the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss.

A crystalline azure sword radiance swept across the heavens, its transcendent edge capable of slaying immortals and vanquishing demons, ascending to the realm of a spirit treasure amidst the boundless sea of thunder.

"Heavenly River Ren Water Sword, perfected!"

Gazing at the Heavenly River Ren Water Sword before him, Eldrin (Person Name) couldn't help but reveal a flicker of pleasant surprise.

After the successful ascension of the Heavenly River Ren Water Sword, it not only signified he had gained another immortal sword of the spiritual treasure grade, but more crucially, the Heaven-Severing Twin Swords could now merge once more.

Although the Heaven Union Art consumed an immense amount of spiritual power, it remained a true trump card—once unleashed, it might just deliver the decisive blow.

Watching the completion of the Heavenly River Ren Water Sword, Lyra (Person Name) smiled faintly and said, "With this sword forged, you should at least possess the power to contend against even a cultivator at the Earth Path Nascent Soul stage from now on."

"The true power of an Earthly Passage Nascent Soul cultivator far surpasses that of an ordinary Nascent Soul. I fear I still cannot measure up."

Eldrin shook his head, "The potential of an Earth Path Nascent Soul is immense, far beyond what a Mortal Path Nascent Soul could ever hope to match."

Such an existence even held a sliver of possibility to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, and could integrate 2 Innate Great Supernatural Powers. Whether in terms of the Nascent Soul’s strength, magical power, or even combat prowess, it completely surpassed the Mortal Dao Nascent Soul.

It could be said that even with the same cultivation level, a single Earth Path Nascent Soul could effortlessly handle 2 Human Path Nascent Souls.

Hearing this, Lyra nodded as well and said, "My Hexacomb Octo-Realm Cauldron is nearly forged. Once this cauldron is fully refined in a few days, we shall journey to Moro Island to investigate."

"Hmm, I share the same thought!"

3 years later, the Hexa-Universe Cauldron forged by Lyra (Person Name) was finally completed. Without further delay, the 2 set off directly toward Moro Island.

The Namura Island was located in the Celestial Demon Sea, territory of the extraterrestrial demons. Not daring to venture recklessly into its depths, they instead stationed themselves on a human-inhabited spirit island near Namura's waters to gather intelligence.

After 3 consecutive months of inquiries, Eldrin discovered that the location of Malo Island lay within the inner reaches of the Tianmo Sea.

Most crucially, after pledging allegiance to the demons, the clan leader of the Liu Family from Naruo Island had advanced to the Nascent Soul, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm), his power now far surpassing what it had been in the past.

Recalling the troublesome nature of the Liu Clan Patriarch, Eldrin frowned and said, "That old devil Liu was originally a human cultivator who defected to the demonic forces. His mastery over the spirit island's formation arrays is far beyond what the Twin Kalo Demons could ever achieve."

"Moreover, his cultivation level is beyond what we can currently handle."

"Mm." Lyra nodded, then said, "Since we lack certainty, there's no need for us to take risks."
