Chapter 754 : The Blossom's Primordial Revival

After a long and arduous journey spanning several years, the group finally returned to Spirit Isle Lake.

Upon arriving at Spirit Isle Lake, Eldrin Chen immediately retrieved the half-section of the Enlightenment Blossom Tree.

The spiritual aura [the vital energy and presence inherent to spiritual beings and objects] of this Enlightenment Blossom Tree was exceedingly dim, sustained only by a faint wisp of Primordial Essence [the most fundamental and ancient form of spiritual energy] that coiled around it, nurturing the last vestiges of its vitality.

Gazing at the Enlightenment Blossom Tree before him, Eldrin Chen let out a slight sigh of relief. "Over these past few years," he said, "I expended Three Strands of Primordial Violet Qi [a rare and potent spiritual energy refined from the Primordial Scripture] just to stabilize the life force of this tree."

"Fortunately, the roots of the Enlightenment Blossom [a miraculous flower that aids in enlightenment and spiritual breakthroughs] have now begun to regrow. It seems there is a good chance we can successfully cultivate it."

The origins of the Primordial Scripture [a profound and mysterious cultivation manual] were utterly inscrutable. The Violet Qi [a unique spiritual energy refined from the Primordial Scripture] it cultivated contained within it a trace of the Hongmeng intent [the primordial, formless state before the differentiation of chaos] that predated even Primordial Chaos [the undifferentiated state of the universe before creation]. Its inherent nobility and rank were beyond description.

According to ancient lore, the cosmos in its earliest epoch was in a state of Hongmeng [the primordial, undifferentiated unity]. Only afterward did Primordial Chaos emerge, and the Innate Spiritual Treasure [supreme treasures born from the act of creation itself] and other such wonders birthed from the world's opening came far later.

Even though Eldrin Chen could transform one strand of Primordial Essence every ten years, its quality was insufficient and exceedingly diluted, far from matching the Primordial Essence spoken of in Myth [legendary tales and ancient lore] that was said to enable breakthroughs to the Dao Ancestor Immortal Sage [a legendary realm of cultivation representing the pinnacle of the Dao].

Yet, this energy truly deserved the name 'Hongmeng' and possessed unparalleled, astonishing efficacy. It had indeed succeeded in reviving the Enlightenment Blossom Tree.

With this thought, Lyra Jiang also nodded, a smile gracing her features. "If this Enlightenment Blossom Tree can be successfully cultivated," she said, "it will bear one Enlightenment Blossom every Millennium [a period of one thousand years]. Lila and Old Granduncle might then have a glimmer of hope to break through to the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core and higher form of a cultivator's being]."

"Indeed," Verdant Consort nodded in agreement before inquiring, "Where do you all think we should plant this Enlightenment Blossom Tree [a legendary spiritual tree whose blossoms can grant profound insights]?"

"After all, this tree is a Sixth Rank Spiritual Root [a spiritual plant of the highest known grade, possessing immense power], so it's best not to leave it in plain sight for now."

Eldrin Chen spoke thus, pausing in thought before continuing, "I believe it would be best to plant it on Celestial Vault Isle. That place is relatively secluded, and the underwater environment is quite similar to the Dragon Transformation Pool [a mystical pool said to aid in draconic metamorphosis], which should increase its chances of survival."

"Then it is decided."

Having made their decision, the group promptly made their way to The Vast Sea and discreetly entered Celestial Vault Isle.

Upon their arrival at Celestial Vault Isle, Nyssa Qu was the first to notice them and hurriedly rose to greet them.

Eldrin Chen briefly explained the situation to her, then spoke with a grave expression, "This Enlightenment Blossom Tree is of inestimable value. As we cannot remain here for long, we must entrust its care to you, Immortal Maiden."

"Rest assured, Young Master. I will tend to it with the utmost diligence,"

Nyssa Qu vowed solemnly. If this Enlightenment Blossom Tree, planted within Celestial Vault Isle, could take root and recover its former glory, it would elevate the spiritual energy of the entire isle to the Sixth Rank [the pinnacle grade for spiritual energy concentration] level.

This would be a tremendous boon for her as well, so she was naturally committed to nurturing this precious blossom with great care.

Seeing that Nyssa Qu agreed, Eldrin Chen said with a gentle smile, "I must trouble you to take the trouble, Immortal Maiden."

With meticulous care, Eldrin Chen spent another three days and consumed another Three Strands of Primordial Violet Qi to plant the Enlightenment Blossom Tree within the Spirit Vein [a subterranean channel that gathers and emits spiritual energy].

He then observed and tended to it attentively for three more months. Only when he saw that the Enlightenment Blossom Tree had firmly taken root and its vitality was gradually recovering did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

A smile touched his lips as he pondered briefly and said, "This Enlightenment Blossom will likely need about Ten Sixty-Year Cycles [a period of six hundred years] to fully recover. By then, it will be able to produce new Enlightenment Blossom once more."

"Furthermore, the Spirit Vein here at Spirit Isle Lake should also advance to the Sixth Rank level within those same Ten Sixty-Year Cycles."

Upon hearing this, Nyssa Qu felt a surge of joy in her heart and couldn't help but say, "Within those Ten Sixty-Year Cycles, this humble one will begin her attempt to break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm [the realm of the spiritual core, a major stage in cultivation]."

"Oh?"

Eldrin Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't suppress a pleased expression.

Nyssa Qu's bloodline was no weaker than that of the Primordial Ice Silkworm or the True Dragon; she was a true Mythical Immortal Seed [one born with a constitution destined for the Immortal Realm]. While breaking through to the Immortal realm in the mortal world was exceedingly difficult for her, advancing to the Primordial Spirit Realm was as natural as water flowing downhill.

One could say that with her heritage, her success rate in drawing down the Heavenly Soul [a crucial celestial component of the soul required for the Primordial Spirit breakthrough] was at least seventy percent. Her chances of a successful breakthrough were quite substantial.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen smiled and said, "Then you must cultivate diligently. In the future, perhaps our Chen Clan will rely on your care."

After handling this matter, Eldrin Chen did not leave Celestial Vault Isle immediately. Instead, he made his way to the core of the Water Vein [a subterranean channel of concentrated water-element spiritual energy] within The Vast Sea.

Many years ago, the Flood Water Treasure Gold [a rare metal born from the essence of primordial waters] within Celestial Vault Isle was nearing maturity, and the waters of the former Azure Wave Lake had accelerated this process.

Now, having swallowed the waters of Purple Jade Lake and most of Azure Wave Lake, the immense Water Essence Power [the concentrated spiritual power of the water element] within The Vast Sea was potent enough to nurture a Sixth Rank Ancestral Vein [a supreme-grade spiritual energy source]. This had also restored the Water Vein of Celestial Vault Isle to its peak Quasi-Sixth Rank [a state just below the Sixth Rank] condition.

Therefore, by now, this Heavenly River Treasure Gold [a Pure Yang-grade immortal metal born from celestial water essence] should have fully matured.

This was indeed the case. When Eldrin Chen arrived at the core of the Water Vein, he found a magnificent azure Treasure Metal [a rare and valuable spiritual metal] enveloped by boundless Water Essence Power, radiating an intensely dazzling aura of Pure Yang [the highest, most refined form of spiritual energy] Dao Principle.

Seeing this, a smile touched his lips, and he murmured to himself:

"A Pure Yang Immortal Metal, the Heavenly River Treasure Gold."

Early the next morning, Eldrin Chen took the Heavenly River Treasure Gold and departed from the Water Vein, returning directly to Spirit Isle Lake.

Upon reaching Spirit Isle Lake, he took out the Azure Dragon Stirring the Sea Sword [a legendary spiritual sword] and said, "Let us discuss how to handle this Azure Dragon Stirring the Sea Sword."

Upon hearing this, both Verdant Consort and Lyra Jiang could not help but reveal expressions of delight.

Among the many treasures this time, the Azure Dragon Stirring the Sea Sword could be considered the most precious. No matter whose hands it fell into, it would greatly augment their combat prowess.

After a moment of contemplation, Verdant Consort spoke, "This item should go to Lyra. If the Azure Dragon Stirring the Sea Sword were to be smelted into Treasure Metal [a special metal used to upgrade magical treasures] to advance the Heaven's Ruin Immortal-Slaying Sword, it would undoubtedly enhance her combat power immensely."

"With our cultivation level, smelting Treasure Metal would likely waste a significant amount of material," Lyra Jiang shook her head and stated directly. "Moreover, the Great Luo Immortal Metal from Divine Bird Peak is more suitable for the Heaven's Ruin Immortal-Slaying Sword."

"Therefore, this Azure Dragon Stirring the Sea Sword should remain with you. You still lack a definitive offensive method."

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen also fell into thoughtful silence.

Verdant Consort possessed Water, Wood, and Metal Three Spiritual Roots [the innate spiritual attributes that determine a cultivator's elemental affinity and cultivation potential]. Her three Lifebound Spiritual Treasure [magical treasures bound to a cultivator's life force and soul] were the 'Flood Water Azure Lotus Platform', the 'Divine Wood Pearl', and the 'Azure Radiance Treasure Bell'.

Among these three Spiritual Treasure, the 'Flood Water Azure Lotus Platform' was exceptionally remarkable. However, both the 'Divine Wood Pearl' and the 'Azure Radiance Treasure Bell' lacked ultimate offensive power.

Coupled with the fact that her Divine Ability [powerful supernatural techniques cultivated by high-level practitioners] also leaned towards support, Verdant Consort's offensive capabilities had always been deficient.

This resulted in a situation where Verdant Consort, despite possessing Mana [the spiritual energy cultivated and wielded by practitioners] surpassing even that of a Nascent Soul Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Nascent Soul realm] cultivator, lacked a decisive, finishing move. She could only play a supporting role.

Once she obtained this Azure Dragon Stirring the Sea Sword, her offensive capabilities would become truly formidable. Even against the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor, she would at least possess the power to stand her ground in battle.

Thinking this, Eldrin Chen spoke, "What if you exchanged your Azure Radiance Treasure Bell? You could replace your Life-Bound Magical Treasure [a magical artifact bound to a cultivator's life force, growing in power with them] with the Azure Dragon Stirring the Sea Sword?"

Upon hearing this, Verdant Consort was momentarily taken aback. After a brief moment of contemplation, she replied, "That might be for the best." Access the full story on audio-novel .c om.
