Chapter 735 Seraphina Qu (Person Name) Breaks Through to Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm)
After seeing off Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name), Eldrin (Person Name) did not immediately depart from The Vast Sea (Location). Instead, he went straight to Celestial Vault Isle (Location).
Seeing Seraphina Qu, he couldn't help but ask, "How do you feel?"
"Thanks to this fortuitous encounter, my injuries have completely healed, and my cultivation has reached a state where the spiritual energy feels harmoniously complete."
A look of delight crossed Seraphina Qu's face as she spoke. The injuries she had sustained from her battle with Nero the Bloodweaver back then were severe, but now, with the influx of abundant Water Elemental Power, she had seized the opportunity to fully recover from her wounds.
Not only that, Seraphina Qu also felt she had touched the threshold of Half-Step Primordial Spirit.
"Is that truly the case?"
Eldrin said with pleasant surprise, "Seraphina Qu has now sworn the Oath of Reincarnation and can be considered more than half a member of the Chen Family. Once she achieves a breakthrough, the Chen Family will possess a Half-Step Primordial Spirit-level trump card."
Moreover, Seraphina Qu possessed her innate Pure Yang divine ability, the 7-Colored Immortal Light. Once she broke through to the Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm, the combat prowess she could unleash might not match that of the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor with his Cyan Jade Ruler of the Heavens, but the gap would likely be negligible.
After all, the 7-Colored Immortal Clam was a Mythical Immortal Species, surpassing the not-yet-dragonized Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) in both magical power and foundation.
At this thought, Eldrin spoke up, "Then you should enter seclusion to make your breakthrough. I'll stand guard for you."
"How could I possibly impose."
Seraphina Qu's heart swelled with joy, yet her words betrayed none of it.
After all, the man before her had saved her life. Had it been an ordinary person, she might have simply pledged to repay him in the next life as an ox or horse. Yet, this man stirred a flicker of hope within her.
After all, the man before her was clad in robes as white as snow, his demeanor as refined as jade, and his aura resembled an immortal exiled to the mortal realm—truly a rarity seldom seen between heaven and earth.
"Worry not. If you guard this Celestial Vault Isle well for me in the days to come, I shall have gained immeasurably."
Eldrin spoke with an air of nonchalance, then personally stationed himself before the water vein to safeguard her cultivation.
Within the Celestial Vault Isle, there exists not only a top-grade rank-5 spiritual vein, but also the assistance of a quasi rank-6 water vein. It could truly be called the most ideal sacred ground for Seraphina Qu to break through to the Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm.
With the aid of this treasured land and Seraphina Qu's unparalleled natural talent, her breakthrough proceeded with remarkable smoothness. In merely a few months, she successfully summoned her Earth Soul, breaking through to the Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm in 1 decisive move.
After her breakthrough, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) not only gained a tremendous increase in magical power, but her physical form also became more flawless and exquisite, her graceful figure growing even fuller and more alluring.
She was clad in a flowing gown of 7 colors, her brows gentle and eyes tender as she bowed gracefully to Eldrin. With a soft smile, she spoke, "I have not failed your expectations. At last, I have broken through to the Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm."
"Very well."
Watching her breakthrough and emerge from seclusion, Eldrin also smiled faintly before helping her up, saying, "With your power now greatly enhanced, should I ever leave The Vast Sea, I would ask you to watch over my family for me."
"Young master has saved my life and slain that Nero the Bloodweaver (Person Name). It is only natural that I regard you as family."
Seraphina Qu (Person Name) spoke softly, then lowered her gaze with a gentle smile. "From this day forth, the Chen Clan shall be my immortal kin. Should any dare raise a hand against them, I will ensure they reap no success."
"With your assurance, I can set my mind at ease." A wave of relief washed over Eldrin, and he smiled. "However, given your unique circumstances, you must remain concealed until you break through to the Nascent Soul realm. Do not reveal your capabilities unless absolutely necessary."
"I understand," Seraphina Qu (Person Name) nodded gently before continuing, "Young master need not worry. With my current level of cultivation, there is absolutely no chance of the information being leaked."
Seeing this, Eldrin also smiled faintly. Seraphina Qu rarely revealed herself to the world. As long as she concealed her aura, even if she made a move, it might not be detected.
Moreover, given Seraphina Qu's current strength, it was estimated that even an ordinary Half-Step Primordial Spirit might not escape with their life from her grasp.
At this thought, Eldrin said, "It is not appropriate for me to linger here any longer. I must trouble you to guard the Celestial Vault Isle on my behalf."
"Then we bid you farewell, Young Master."
Seraphina Qu offered a slight bow, watching Eldrin's receding figure with an inexplicable sense of loss stirring in her heart.
Eldrin departed from the aqueous meridian core, intending to pay respects to Azure Ancestor’s terrestrial soul. Yet he discovered that Azure seemed to have fallen into slumber once more. Unwilling to disturb the venerable 1, he quietly took his leave from Celestial Vault Isle alone.
At the same time, deep within the vast and boundless Great Marsh.
Amidst the boundless expanse of misty marshes spanning hundreds of millions of miles, there lay a colossal island. At its heart rested a bottomless abyssal pool.
This pool was named the ‘Hidden Dragon Abyss’. As the name suggests, it was a bottomless chasm where true dragons lay concealed.
At this moment, the Hidden Dragon Abyss was enveloped in utter silence. The Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) gazed mutely at the shadowy figure ahead, his expression perpetually trembling with fear.
That shadow lurked within the Invincible Abyss, shrouded by endless seawater, its true form indiscernible.
Yet upon closer inspection, it was a colossal shadow stretching a full 10 1000 miles in length.
It resembled the primordial black dragon from myth, its every scale as massive as a mountain range, reflecting an indestructible and eternal radiance.
This was merely its coiled form. 1 could scarcely imagine how this being, vast as a star, would blot out the heavens when it fully unfurled its frame.
"Grandfather, your child was wrong. I beg for your punishment!"
The Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) hung its head, all its former majesty gone, and spoke with a trembling voice.
Deep within the void, an profound silence reigned. Only after a long while did the dark figure stir. A colossal pitch-black dragon head, far larger than that of the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast), emerged from the shadows. It spoke with detached indifference, its voice echoing through the emptiness.
"Do you realize where you went wrong?"
"My child..." The Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) trembled from head to toe, speaking with immense terror, "I should never have breached the barrier, causing the aqueous primordial energy of Emerald Ripple Lake to leak out."
"Foolish." The black dragon roared in fury, its voice thick with disappointment. "To this moment, you still fail to comprehend where you went wrong."
"You must understand, in this world, the strong reign supreme. Power is the true arbiter of all things."
"Among all my descendants, your talent is second to none. You were given 3 opportunities to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, yet each time you claimed insufficient confidence, insisting on waiting until you were completely certain of success."
But where in this world can 1 find perfection, and how many such serendipities await your missed chances? Had you seized the opportunity, you would have long broken through to the Nascent Soul realm. How could you have allowed Dorian and that whelp of the Returning Abyss to trample over you?
Faced with the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor's (Demon Beast) rebuke, the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) turned deathly pale, momentarily at a complete loss for words.
After a long while had passed, the Black Dragon Demon Ancold finally spoke in an icy tone, "Within the Southern Sea lies your opportunity to transform into a dragon."
"If you fail to turn over a new leaf this time, I shall never again involve myself in your affairs henceforth."
The Black Dragon Demon Ancestor vanished into the Endless Abyssal Pool as he spoke, leaving only a fading shadow of darkness in his wake.
The Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) stood rooted to the spot for a long while, until the terror in his pupils gradually dissipated, replaced by a glint of cold, steely light.
"The opportunity to transform into a dragon?"
