Chapter 517 Changing the World, the Method to Continue the Earth Vein

This Arctic Soul Radiance was the innate great supernatural power of Hanchuan Zhenren, containing the profound force of the frost essence—its potential could truly be described as extraordinary.

Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch, once struck by its radiance, would have both body and soul frozen solid, ultimately dissolving into nothingness within the divine light.

However, the disparity in their cultivation at the Nascent Soul realm was considerable, and the River of Heaven Water Sword was, after all, a mid-grade demon-slaying immortal sword. Though this divine light was formidable, it could hardly withstand a single strike from Eldrin (Person Name).

But when the River of Heaven Water Sword erupted, its majestic river-like slash descended with boundless sword momentum, overwhelming and unstoppable, effortlessly extinguishing this Divine Frostlight.

"Damn it."

A chill gripped Elder Hanchuan’s heart. His expression shifted abruptly as he unleashed his second innate divine ability.

This divine ability was known as the Hanchuan True Aegis, the signature defensive technique of Daoist Hanchuan and a protective power of Great Divine Art caliber.

Relying on this great divine power, Daoist Hanchuan barely managed to withstand the residual force of the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss.

Yet his expression remained taut, for the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) not far away had surged with overwhelming power, forcing the 13 Brimfrost Immortal Swords into relentless retreat.

"This man's strength is beyond all match."

A chill ran through Daoist Hanchuan’s heart as he realized that continuing this fight could very well spell his doom.

With that thought, he summoned his escape light, intending to flee for his life. However, Lyra (Person Name), who had been guarding the formation, had long been prepared for this moment.

She activated the Earthen Kunyuan Disk to envelop the void, forcibly driving him back.

Seeing Lyra’s predatory gaze, Daoist Hanchuan turned back and realized the Yin-Yang Void Mirror was already hovering over the 9 Heavens Above, having sealed off a 1000 miles of land without anyone noticing.

With no other recourse, he gritted his teeth and spat out a mouthful of vital essence blood. In a desperate move, he performed a blood sacrifice of his physical form, forcibly channeling all his power into the Nascent Soul. He intended to abandon his mortal shell and flee for his life.

Alas, it lasted only a fleeting moment. Suddenly, he felt an intensely sinister force seize his soul, rendering him utterly immobile for a time.

When he regained his senses, he discovered a white immortal sword sweeping across the sky, striking directly toward his Nascent Soul.

100 Spirits Slaying Immortal Sword (Magic Treasure).

"My life is at its end."

Elder Hanchuan let out a startled cry, momentarily frozen in place as he faced the spiritual treasure sword specifically designed to counter the human race.

In that fleeting instant, Daoist Hanchuan lost his last chance to escape. His Nascent Soul was immediately extinguished by a single sword strike.

After slaying the Coldstream Daoist, the 100 Souls Immortal-Slaying Sword devoured his spiritual essence into its blade. Faintly visible, the sword spirit’s power surged by another 30 percent.

"This sword..."

Eldrin (Person Name) drew a deep breath and after a long pause uttered, "This 100 Souls Immortal-Slaying Sword (Magic Treasure) can actually seize the primordial soul of an Earth Path Nascent Soul cultivator. Truly worthy of being a celestial blade crafted specifically to counter humankind—utterly sinister and unnerving."

Putting away the 100 Souls Slaying Immortal Sword, Eldrin noticed Kael and the other Chen Clan cultivators had already breached Hanchuan Island.

In recent years, the number of Golden Core cultivators within the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) had grown rapidly, now reaching a total of 15.

The branch lineage of Lyra (Person Name) had slightly fewer Golden Core cultivators, yet still boasted a full 6 Golden Core cultivators.

This time, no fewer than 11 Golden Core cultivators had arrived, accompanied by 2 False Infant cultivators—Elara and Chen Changxuan—along with Kael, a top-tier Golden Core expert. Their combined strength far surpassed that of the Golden Core cultivators from Hanchuan Island.

After they made their moves 1 after another, they swiftly took control of the situation on Hanchuan Island. Meanwhile, Hanchuan Daoist’s several Golden Core disciples were all slain by the group.

"We've found the Spirit Apricot Tree."

Seeing Eldrin store away the relics of the Chillstream Master, the old clan leader approached him with evident delight.

The old clan leader immediately took him to the back mountain of the spirit island upon their meeting. At the mountain peak, Eldrin laid eyes on the Chen Family’s ancient spirit apricot tree.

After years apart, the Spirit Apricot Tree had gained significantly more spiritual essence, appearing not far from its next ascension to the fifth rank.

Once they advanced to the fifth rank, the Chen Clan could acquire another fifth-grade spirit vein.

Eldrin calculated for a moment before exclaiming with delight, "This Spiritual Apricot Tree will advance to the Fifth Realm after its next fruiting cycle. It appears the breakthrough will be completed within 30 years."

"Is that truly the case?"

Everyone’s faces lit up with joy. Chen Changxu caressed the spirit apricot tree with barely concealed delight, yet his brow furrowed as he spoke, “If we transplant it back to Verdant Chariot Mountain now, I fear it may hinder the tree’s advancement, don’t you think?”

"Why go through the trouble of transplanting it back?" Eldrin shook his head and inquired.

Upon hearing these words, everyone was momentarily stunned.

Seeing the expressions of comprehension on everyone's faces, Eldrin said with a smile, "Verdant Chariot Mountain is merely 3,000 li from Spirit Isle Lake. Once the spiritual vein at Spirit Isle Lake declines to only the fifth rank, its energy will completely envelop the meditation ground at Verdant Chariot Mountain."

"There is no need to transplant this Spirit Apricot Tree back. It would be better to leave it here on Froststream Island, serving as our Chen Clan's sacred ground in The Vast Sea (Location)."

"That is indeed a wise approach." Lyra nodded slightly before continuing, "With the spirit vein's ascension still 30 years away, we should begin preparing to acquire 2 fifth-tier Void Gems to establish a long-distance teleportation formation first."

"Hmm, that's exactly what I was thinking."

Eldrin also nodded. Although a fifth-grade Void Gem was quite precious, they still had some funds to spare.

If the Qin Clan could be eradicated, there would still be considerable hope of exchanging it for 2 Void Gems (Spiritual Object).

Just then, Chen Silas approached from afar. Her face twitched with visible pain as she spotted the group. "I've discovered several fourth-order earth veins," she said with a strained voice.

"Several fourth-grade earth veins?"

Eldrin's expression shifted slightly. Generally speaking, it was quite rare for multiple high-grade earth veins to appear within the same territory. Discovering several earth veins here was somewhat unexpected.

After exchanging a glance with Lyra (Person Name), he hastily said, "Take us there."

The group flew deep into the island, arriving at an underground fire vein.

The underground fire veins before his eyes were truly peculiar. A full 9 fourth-grade underground fire veins converged here, yet they maintained distinct barriers between each other, preventing them from merging into a unified whole.

Lyra frowned, speaking with a tinge of regret, "This place was once a fifth-grade subterranean fire vein, but it was forcibly severed by some immense power, fracturing into 9 fourth-grade fire veins."

"What a pity."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the few individuals turned pained. A fifth-grade earth vein could only produce 1 wisp of Earth Mother Qi (Spiritual Root) every 1,000 years.

Moreover, it could even nurture fifth-rank heavenly treasures and 5 Veins Spirit Jades, whose value was simply incomparable to that of a fourth-rank earth vein.

Eldrin observed for a moment, and after a long while, he finally spoke, "Although this earth vein has been severed, it is not entirely beyond repair."

The old clan leader asked with pleasant surprise, "Do you have a solution?"

"I have some leads, though I cannot guarantee success." After deducing the patterns of the mountain ranges for a good while, Eldrin said, "Once I have dealt with the Qin Clan's trivial matters, I shall return to attempt setting up the Vein Restoration Grand Formation."

Upon hearing this, everyone was somewhat astonished.

It could deduce the patterns of mountains and rivers, comprehend the grand momentum of rivers, lakes, and seas, and then employ methods to realign the veins of heaven and earth—thus mending the severed fifth-order subterranean fire vein.

This method of regulating mountains and rivers could truly be described as reshaping heaven and earth. Generally, only the most exceptional Human Race True Monarchs could accomplish such a feat. If Eldrin succeeded, he would rank among the very pinnacle of True Monarchs.
