Chapter 711. Nascent Soul, 5th Tier (Cultivation Realm)

With doubts in their hearts, the group flew toward the core of the ruins, soon arriving at the heart of the water vein.

Gazing at the fractured and shattered water vein, Lyra (Person Name) spoke with profound regret, "At its peak, this water vein was not far from reaching the sixth rank. Who would have thought it could shatter into such a state."

Seraphina Qu suddenly spoke up, "My lineage possesses a heritage technique that may be able to assist in restoring the water veins."

"Truly?" A flicker of joy arose in Eldrin's heart. "Then I humbly request your guidance, Fairy."

"This method also requires a vast quantity of spirit shells to assist."

Seraphina Qu then began to speak, elaborating on this cultivation method.

As a Mythical Immortal Seed, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) was innately endowed with a complete immortal heritage, which included an art for nurturing water veins.

This technique is named the Sacred Shell Meridian Nourishment Art, which not only requires Seraphina Qu (Person Name) of A Clan with 13 True Lords (Organization) to personally nurture it with constant warmth, but also demands the assistance of vast quantities of spirit shells channeling the power of water veins.

"The matter of the spirit shells isn't much of a problem."

Lyra smiled faintly and said, "We have cultivated vast quantities of spirit clams within the water veins of Spirit Lake Continent, Green Lotus Continent, The Vast Sea (Location), and other aquatic territories."

"Having transferred the majority here to multiply, it should only take a few centuries to reach substantial numbers."

"That simplifies matters." Seraphina Qu nodded, a smile gracing her lips. "Using this method, it should only take approximately 18 100 years to restore this spiritual vein to its prime condition."

Eldrin also felt a surge of delight, his eyes subtly brightening as he remarked, "I have studied methods to restore ley lines for many years. If we deploy an array here specifically for mending the earth veins, it could significantly accelerate the progress of restoration."

Upon hearing this, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) felt a stir in her heart, then smiled and said, "If this ley line can reach the quasi-sixth rank, it might even offer a sliver of benefit when I attempt my Divine Soul breakthrough in the future."

"In that case, I shall trouble you, Fairy, to restore the earth veins."

Eldrin did not depart immediately. Instead, he first returned to the ancient ruins, where he discovered that the River of Heaven Treasured Gold within would require another 5 100 years to advance to the next grade.

With Seraphina Qu (Person Name) presiding over it henceforth, the security of this Celestial River Treasure Gold would be greatly enhanced, settling his heart with ever-greater certainty.

After departing from Celestial Vault Isle, Eldrin immediately ordered the capture of a large quantity of spirit clams. He personally delivered them to Celestial Vault Isle, and to prevent the island's exposure, he devoted several years to meticulously completing this task himself.

After handling this matter, his days returned to their usual tranquility.

With a rare moment of leisure, Eldrin turned his focus to cultivation, determined to elevate his cultivation base to the next realm as swiftly as possible.

In the days that followed, Eldrin devoted his primary focus to cultivation. During his leisure hours, he would occasionally play the zither, read books, and organize his gains, leading a rather agreeable life.

“Nascent Soul, 5th Tier (Cultivation Realm)。”

In the blink of an eye, over 80 years had passed. On this day, Eldrin (Person Name) opened his eyes within the secluded cultivation chamber, slowly exhaled a breath, and revealed a joyful smile.

Not long ago, Eldrin felt his spiritual power had become perfectly harmonious and overflowing, as if he had touched the threshold of Nascent Soul, 5th Tier. He immediately entered seclusion to break through his cultivation realm, and indeed achieved the breakthrough as naturally as water flowing in its course.

For an ordinary True Monarch, without the aid of rare external resources, advancing by a single stage within the Nascent Soul (Cultivation Realm) would typically require 3 100 years in the Early Stage, approximately 4 100 years to progress through the Mid Stage, and a full 5 100 years to cultivate a single layer of advancement in the Late Stage.

Approximately 2 100 and 40 years after Eldrin (Person Name) broke through to Nascent Soul, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm), he advanced once more to Nascent Soul, 5th Tier (Cultivation Realm). Such progress in cultivation could truly be considered remarkably swift.

In truth, Eldrin simultaneously cultivated 5 supreme-grade spiritual treasures. Nurturing these magical artifacts consumed a substantial amount of spiritual energy, and it would have originally taken him approximately 800 years to advance a single layer in his cultivation.

Fortunately, he had the assistance of the Heaven-Earth Spirit Peach, which significantly shortened his cultivation time. Combined with the support of the supreme-grade auxiliary spiritual treasure, Moon God Pearl (Spiritual Object), he managed to advance by 1 cultivation level in just over 2 100 years.

This speed was truly astonishing. Even a True Monarch at the Nascent Soul stage with a Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) might not cultivate faster than them without the aid of precious fifth-rank spiritual treasures.

Thinking of the joy that would follow his breakthrough, Eldrin simply walked out of the seclusion chamber.

Stepping out of the seclusion chamber, he immediately noticed Lyra (Person Name), Qing Ji, and Lila (Person Name) waiting outside his abode.

Seeing him emerge successfully from seclusion, Lyra smiled and said, "Your breakthrough was successful, my husband. You've finally made it just before the great battle."

"What's wrong?"

Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly as he inquired with a hint of confusion.

The group remained silent, though Xia Huaixu stepped forward and handed him a sealed letter.

Eldrin unfolded the letter and discovered it was personally penned by Dorian. The letter mentioned that Caelum the Wavestrider had broken through to the Nascent Soul realm a century earlier and had already consolidated his cultivation base.

The Ji Clan was now preparing to move against the Blood God Patriarch, aiming to reclaim the Blood God Sea Region (Location) in 1 decisive strike, and sought to summon their aid to lend a hand in this endeavor.

"To think Sword Immortal Canglang has consolidated his cultivation base over a dozen years earlier than anticipated. It seems his foundation runs far deeper than we imagined."

Putting away the letter, Eldrin glanced at the 2 of them and asked, "Did Zuxuan succeed in his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage this time?"

Half a month ago, he had successfully achieved his breakthrough in secluded cultivation, with his clan elder brother Kael safeguarding his cultivation session.

Lila smiled as she spoke, her expression tinged with delight.

After 2 100 years of recuperation, and particularly over the past 80 years, the Chen family's strength had grown substantially.

Including Chen Zuxuan, who had broken through this time, a total of 3 out of the original 6 individuals on the list had successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm.

The group consisted of Chen Nianxuan, Chen Zuxuan, and Chen Xuhuan. Including Meng Ruyan, the grand-disciple of Eldrin (Person Name), they had gained a total of 4 new Nascent Soul True Lords.

Among the 4, Chen Nianxuan possessed a superior Golden Core with a Heavenly Spiritual Root. After having her magic power reshaped by the fire-veined Heaven-Sculpting Pill personally refined by Eldrin, she ultimately laid the foundation for a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul.

After all, she possessed a Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root). With the foundation of a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, while the hope of breaking through to the Spirit Severing realm remained slim, advancing to the late Nascent Soul stage was virtually guaranteed—so long as she didn’t meet an untimely end.

Chen Zuxuan could be considered a prime example of accumulated strength yielding sudden advancement, having forged an Earth Grade Nascent Soul. In the end, Chen Xuhuan lacked sufficient social connections to secure support and failed to obtain the Earth Mother Qi (Spiritual Root), ultimately condensing nothing more than a Mortal Grade Nascent Soul.

Though Chen Siyan (Person Name) and Chen Siyuan (Person Name) of the "Si" generation maintained close ties with the family's Eldrin (Person Name) ancestor, their fortunes proved unfavorable this time, merely achieving a breakthrough to the Mock Eldrin (Cultivation Realm) stage.

For their next attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, they would still need to take on a hefty family loan—1 that likely wouldn't be enough to exchange for Earth Mother Qi (Spiritual Root) either.

Chen Zuqian of the Ancestor generation was no exception. Having failed to break through to the Nascent Soul realm in 1 sustained effort this time, unless Eldrin was willing to continue providing substantial support, he would likely have no hope of forging an Earth-grade Nascent Soul.

After all, most of the other senior-generation True Monarchs within the clan still had outstanding clan loans to repay. The only 1 capable of providing support was Eldrin.
