Chapter 606 The Bagua Treasure Tree

This Stargazing Pavilion required the use of 7 Star Fragments (Spiritual Object), 1 Void Gem (Spiritual Object), and 1 fifth-grade Soul-Nurturing Wood, making the initial cost exceptionally high.

He then integrated the Star-illumined Epiphany Platform and the Serenity Mirror for Subduing Demons. It could be said that this treasure was formed from the combination of 11 spiritual treasures, and after the fusion of their Dao patterns, it produced astonishing and marvelous effects.

The value of this set of supreme treasures far surpasses that of many superior spiritual artifacts, and their effects are remarkably unique.

Thinking of the cost required to forge this treasure, Eldrin said with a hint of heartache, "I hope you won’t disappoint me."

As he spoke, he refined the Star-Viewing Tower and began to carefully comprehend the power of this spiritual treasure. Shortly after, he opened his eyes and exclaimed in delight, "My lady, it seems we've struck gold this time."

"Oh?"

Lyra's brow twitched slightly as she promptly began to explore the mystical properties of this spiritual treasure. Soon, a look of pleasant surprise spread across her face.

这观星楼炼成之后，便有了多达数种加持效果，分别是养魂气，悟道台，冰心镜，北斗Seven Stars Formation (Formation)。

Among these various enhancements, the Nourishing Soul Qi originates from the Soul-Nurturing Wood. It can restore a cultivator's soul force and also heal injuries related to the soul.

The Enlightenment Platform could enhance Eldrin's Art of Heavenly Secrets, while also accelerating the methods through which he comprehended divine abilities.

The Iceheart Mirror could suppress inner demons and ward off attacks from demonic curses, making it a first-rate defensive method.

The final 7 Stars Formation (Formation) was even more extraordinary. Not only could this formation manifest the Big Dipper to shield its user, defending against demonic curses and opponents' soul attacks, but it could also be employed to deduce the profound mysteries of celestial fate.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, if he activated the 7 Stars Protection while simultaneously bolstering it with the dual safeguard of his Great Ascension Realm Stellar Glazed Body (Spiritual Root)...

Even if a Nascent Soul demonic cultivator attempted to ambush me with demonic curses, they would find it difficult to inflict fatal harm.

After sensing the divine peculiarity of this treasure, Lyra (Person Name) smiled faintly and said, "With this treasure in hand, when the Cataclysm of the Demon Abyss arrives, we need not fear the otherworldly demons settling scores afterward—we can fight with our full power unrestrained."

"So it shall be."

Eldrin (Person Name) smiled faintly before settling into a meditative posture upon the Star-Enlightened Dao Platform. He channeled the Great Divination Art (Cultivation Method), summoning the essence of the Big Dipper to unravel the profound mysteries of heaven and earth.

Urging the formation, he chuckled and said, "The Vast Sea (Location) spans such an immense expanse, yet now it holds only a single fifth-order fire vein. It's truly far too scarce."

"Let me see if I can deduce the location of the opportunity within The Vast Sea (Location)."

"Hmm—"

No sooner had his words faded than he let out a soft gasp of surprise, his brow furrowing in bewilderment.

Only moments later, Eldrin continued his deductions while steering the Stargazing Pavilion away from the Immortal Apricot Isle. After 2 full days of flight, they finally arrived at a desolate island deep within The Vast Sea.

Strangely enough, this island not only lacked any spiritual veins, but was merely a desolate and remote islet.

"This is the place."

As Eldrin spoke, the twin Tianli Swords blossomed from between his brows, instantly merging into a single streak of sword light that descended, tearing apart an invisible barrier upon the island.

Once the barrier was torn open, the 2 of them saw behind it an extraordinary world, lush and vibrant with life.

Lyra (Person Name) was also taken aback, her eyes lighting up as she gazed at the scenery within. "Who would have thought a fifth-grade wood vein would be concealed here? Had you not deduced its location through the Starwatch Tower's calculations, we might never have stumbled upon this serendipity."

"Let's go in and have a look first,"

With those words, Eldrin (Person Name) stepped forward and entered.

But as soon as he stepped inside, a dazzling arc of spiritual light came slashing toward him.

"Hmph—"

Faced with this spiritual radiance, Eldrin let out a cold snort. In that instant, the incoming light flickered and vanished as a cyan silhouette was forcibly shaken to death by his power, dissipating into ethereal smoke.

“Second-Wood Demon Spirit (Demon Beast)。”

Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly, his gaze inadvertently meeting Lyra's.

The Second-Wood Demon Spirit (Demon Beast) was among the lowest-tier innate spiritual beings. Given that the ley lines here reached as high as the fifth grade, it was highly probable that demonic entities of the True Monarch realm resided in this area.

At this thought, Lyra asked, "Should we summon our clansmen for assistance?"

"No need." Eldrin shook his head and said with a faint smile, "Let's investigate first. If we're not confident about handling it, we'll call for reinforcements then."

"Very well."

Lyra also nodded in agreement. Both of them had long since transcended their former selves. Even if the Second-Wood Demon Spirit's cultivation had reached the late Nascent Soul stage, its magical power would still pale in comparison to that of human practitioners—it likely no longer posed any threat to them.

With that thought, the 2 couldn't be bothered to deal with the countless low-level demon spirits blanketing the mountains, heading straight for the depths of the earth vein. Before long, they arrived at the core of this fifth-grade Wood Vein.

It was only then that they finally drew the attention of the master within the ruins, as 2 yaolings with cultivation realms as high as the Nascent Soul stage pounced over.

"It's Elder Yi Mu and Elder Jia Mu."

Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly, his gaze serene as he spoke with detached calm.

Like the former Crimson Flame the Blazing Lord (Person Name), both Verdant Wood True Monarch (Person Name) and Adamantine Wood True Monarch (Person Name) had attained only the Pseudo-Nascent Soul realm, falling slightly short of even a first-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Since their opponents were so weak, there was naturally no need for further discussion. The 2 of them joined forces and, in just over a dozen moves, slew the 2 fake Nascent Soul cultivators.

Many Golden Core demon spirits attempted to intervene during this time, yet Eldrin naturally would not permit them to act recklessly. With effortless grace, he eradicated every last 1 of them.

After slaying 2 Nascent Soul True Lords, Eldrin collected the 5 Elements essence transformed from the 2 pseudo-True Lords, then shook his head and remarked, "There are no fifth-order spirit trees within this earth vein. It appears it wasn’t formed within the last 1 1000 years."

"That must be the case."

Lyra nodded with a faint smile. "This was to be expected. The 5 Elements energy between heaven and earth naturally shifts with the redirection of mountains and rivers, forming through the continuous transformation of the earth's meridians."

Over 1 1000 years ago, the Chen Clan was annihilated in The Vast Sea (Location), and several fifth-grade earth veins collapsed in the blink of an eye. Now, after more than a millennium, new earth veins have naturally taken shape imperceptibly.

As they spoke, the 2 collected all the spoils from the battlefield before striding toward the earth vein's core.

Soon after, at the source of the earth vein, they discovered a strand of Earth Mother Qi (Spiritual Root) and a Wood Vein Spirit Jade.

Eldrin stored them away and said with a light laugh, "With these 2 treasures in our possession, our journey has already been more than worthwhile."

"Yes."

Lyra nodded with a gentle smile. "Once the demonic energy within the Crimson Phoenix Crucible is purified, it will be time to refine a batch of authentic Earth-Tempering Pills. This terrestrial essence has arrived at the perfect moment."

Pleased with their gains this time, both of them were in high spirits. Eldrin added, "While high-grade spiritual trees are scarce in this earth vein, there’s no shortage of low-grade ones suitable for refining a fifth-rank treasure ship. It seems the Crimson Dragon Treasure Ship can finally take form."

Just as they were speaking, Eldrin reached the mountain peak and discovered a unique treasure tree standing atop the summit.

The tree was merely 10 feet in size, yet it grew 8 symmetrically arranged branches. Each branch was shrouded in an enigmatic Dao Pattern mystic force, bearing a single mysterious fruit.

"That is..."

The 2 fell silent for a moment before Eldrin exclaimed.
