Chapter 690 : Reclaiming the Ancestral Spirit Isle

"My deepest gratitude for your generous gift, Elder Brother."

Seeing Dorian Ji bestow the treasure, Exquisite Jiang offered a graceful bow with a smile, gesturing for Eldrin Chen to accept it.

After presenting the jade pendant, Dorian Ji finally gave a nod, his expression turning solemn as he continued, "The Ji Continent lacks a Sixth Rank Spiritual Vein [a powerful natural energy source capable of supporting high-level cultivation], and can no longer sustain my cultivation. Therefore, for the time being, I must remain here in the Star Archipelago."

"However, a prolonged garrison here is not a permanent solution. My plan is to wait until Brother Canglang breaks through to the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core realm, a major milestone in cultivation], and then move to reclaim our clan's Ancestral Vein Spirit Island."

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen felt a stir in his heart. The Ji Clan's Ancestral Vein Spirit Island was none other than the Blood God Sea Region within the Eastern Sea Cultivation World, which had been occupied by the Blood God Patriarch for nearly four thousand years.

With this thought, he exchanged a glance with Exquisite Jiang and asked, "Might I inquire when you intend to make your move, Elder Brother?"

Dorian Ji pondered for a moment before replying with a smile, "After the great calamity ended, Brother Canglang entered seclusion to attempt his breakthrough into the Primordial Spirit. Once he succeeds and consolidates his cultivation base, we shall act against that Blood God Old Freak."

Eldrin Chen nodded in understanding. The Vast Sea Sword Immortal, renowned as the foremost Infant Soul [the nascent soul realm, preceding Primordial Spirit] cultivator in the Eastern Sea, not only possessed a Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a supreme artifact imbued with the essence of the primordial sun] but had also comprehended the legendary Sword Path Arcane Power [a profound and esoteric sword technique of immense power].

With such profound foundations, his breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit was virtually assured. Furthermore, with Dorian Ji personally safeguarding his path, the likelihood of failure was negligible.

Contemplating this, Eldrin Chen smiled and said, "By that reckoning, the action should commence in approximately two hundred years." Experience the full epic at audio-novel`com.

Upon hearing this, Dorian Ji nodded. After breaking through to the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] realm, secluding oneself for three Sixty-Year Cycle [a cycle of sixty years] would be sufficient to initially digest the gains from the breakthrough and thoroughly consolidate one's cultivation base.

Since Billowing Waves had an extremely high chance of success in his breakthrough, Eldrin Chen said no more on the matter.

After a moment of contemplation, Eldrin Chen thought for a bit and then inquired, "The Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic event of immense scale] has concluded. I wish to take this opportunity to venture into the Heavenly Demon Sea Region to slay an old foe. I wonder if there would be significant danger in doing so?"

"You intend to exterminate the Liu Clan on Mara Island?"

Dorian Ji's eyes flickered slightly as he instantly grasped Eldrin Chen's intention.

Without waiting for Eldrin Chen's reply, he nodded with a smile. "The Great Tribulation has just ended. Several Path Lord [a master who has comprehended a profound cultivation path] are still present within the Eastern Sea Cultivation World. The Kaya in the Heavenly Demon Sea Region truly would not dare to act rashly under these circumstances."

"Go with peace of mind. This is likely your best opportunity."

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen felt a wave of relief. The great vengeance for Verdant Consort could finally have a chance to be fulfilled.

Although Verdant Consort was now safe and sound, Mara Island had long since become a knot in the heart of Exquisite Jiang, a burden that prevented her from permanently maintaining the state of Celestial-Mortal Symbiosis [a profound state where celestial and mortal energies harmonize within the cultivator].

If the Liu Clan could be eradicated, then Exquisite Jiang's ability to permanently reside in the Celestial-Mortal Symbiosis state would greatly increase her chances of refining the Water Origin Divine Jade [a divine jade containing the primordial essence of water] and comprehending the Water Element Arcane Power [a profound divine ability based on the water element].

"..."

After bidding farewell to Sage Lord Dorian, Eldrin Chen and his wife departed from the Supreme Subtlety Enclosure Star Archipelago.

Upon arriving at the Star Mansion Spirit Island where their clan resided, he immediately summoned the clan's several True Lord great powers.

Once everyone had gathered, Eternal Profound Chen could not help but inquire, "How did the meeting with the various Path Lord go?"

"It was quite satisfactory."

Eldrin Chen nodded with a smile, handing over the healing and Spiritual Treasure [enchanted artifacts used by cultivators] repair resources he had obtained through exchange, then distributing the list to everyone.

After reading it, the Old Patriarch could not help but tremble slightly, his voice filled with excitement, "You actually acquired three Heavenly Path Energy [a rare spiritual essence that can help a cultivator form their Heavenly Path Infant Soul]? Does this mean our clan might nurture three more Heavenly Path Infant Soul [a powerful cultivation realm where one's infant soul is aligned with the Heavenly Path]?"

Chen Nian [referring to Eldrin Chen] also smiled, then said thoughtfully, "Ethan performed exceptionally in battle this time, actually slaying two Infant Soul True Lord [True Lords who have formed their Infant Soul] amidst the chaotic fighting. He truly possesses a shadow of my former prowess."

"I promised to reserve one of these Heavenly Path Energy for him, hoping he will achieve great things in the future."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this. Since breaking through the barrier of life and death, Ethan Chen had progressed rapidly, already becoming another rising star within the clan.

Shifting away from that topic, Eldrin Chen then said, "Gather everyone and begin preparations for our return to Ji Continent."

"Understood, I shall arrange this matter," Old Patriarch nodded as he spoke.

Kael Chen shook his head, however, and spoke up, "Your injuries are far too severe, Old Granduncle. You should focus on stabilizing your condition as soon as possible. Let Eldrin and I handle these affairs."

"Indeed, Old Granduncle should first concentrate on recovering from your wounds in peace."

Eldrin Chen also nodded in agreement, thus settling the matter.

The meeting concluded at this point. After everyone had departed, Eldrin Chen glanced at Kael Chen and could not help but inquire, "How are things progressing now?" Immerse yourself in the complete world at audi novel.com.

With the Azure Abyss Sword in his possession, Eldrin Chen was aware of Kael Chen's fortuitous encounter with the Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword. Though the demonic blade was concealed with great skill, it could scarcely evade the spiritual perception of the Azure Abyss Sword.

"My cultivation base is still somewhat lacking. To fully refine this sword will likely require a not insignificant amount of time," Kael Chen replied.

Kael Chen shook his head. After devouring the soul of the Garuda Demon Monarch, he could, strictly speaking, be considered the master of the Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword.

It was precisely for this reason that the Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword offered no resistance to his refinement attempts. Otherwise, with the power of the sword's spirit, even if its strength were nearly depleted, it would be utterly beyond the control of a mere Infant Soul Mid Stage cultivator.

However, this was, after all, a Sixth Rank Pure Lunar Demonic Treasure [an enchanted artifact of immense power, forged with lunar and demonic energies]. Its power was simply too astonishing and vast. Even as the sword's master, Kael Chen would find it difficult to refine it in a short amount of time.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen could not help but ask, "What do you plan to do?"

"I intend to refine this sword using my Heavenly Demon Arcane Power [a profound and potent energy derived from demonic cultivation arts], making it replace my Lifebound Immortal Sword [a cultivator's primary weapon, bound to their life force and soul] and become my new Lifebound Supreme Treasure [the ultimate artifact bound to a cultivator's very existence],"

Kael Chen stated calmly. It turned out that back atop Fallen Deity Ridge, amidst the ceaseless erosion and tempering by the boundless Demonic Fiendish Energy [a corrupt and malevolent spiritual energy], he had already comprehended the legendary Heavenly Demon Arcane Power.

This power was incomparably formidable, not inferior in the slightest to Eldrin Chen's Heavenly Flame Magical Power. It had thoroughly forged the foundation for his breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core realm, a major milestone in cultivation] realm.

If he succeeded in using the 'cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest' method to refine this Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword into his Lifebound Immortal Sword, his future potential would undoubtedly be limitless.

With this realization, Eldrin Chen nodded and said, "If you succeed in this endeavor, your future breakthrough to Primordial Spirit will come as naturally as water flowing downhill."

"It seems obtaining this Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword was not without the favor of the world's will,"

Eldrin Chen remarked softly, a trace of emotion flickering in his eyes.

This was no empty praise. The will of the world within the Purple Seal Realm possessed a sliver of sentient awareness, a mysterious and guiding presence.

To the will of heaven and earth, all things under the cosmos are born of its nurturing. Beings like Eldrin Chen and Kael Chen, who strive with such vigor, are in its eyes the most beloved children. Naturally, it would show them a measure of partiality and favor.

In truth, the lower-tier treasures of the Purple Seal Realm are one matter, but Spiritual Object of the Sixth Rank and above are peerless treasures of which the very cosmos has only a finite number.

Such peerless Sixth Rank treasures are exceedingly rare throughout the entire world. Apart from being nurtured once every several thousand or even ten thousand years within the great Ancestral Vein, few others remain.

Generally, only Primordial Spirit Path Lord [a cultivator who has reached the Primordial Spirit realm and comprehended a Path], or those with a great likelihood of breaking through to the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator, representing a high level of cultivation], might, guided by the subtle will of heaven and earth, obtain such a fateful opportunity.
