Chapter 752 Astonishing Gains

The 'Yin Yang Immortal Water' is recognized as the foremost divine water in the Violet Realm. Legend holds that this water must be refined by combining 2 critical sixth-rank elements: the 'Solar Holy Water' and the 'Lunar Divine Water'—the ultimate essences of pure yang and pure yin.

This water could revive the dead and regenerate flesh from bones. Even if only a wisp of 1's divine soul remained, obtaining this water would allow for instantaneous reconstruction to 1's peak state—restoring mana, physical form, and divine soul to their zenith.

This was no Nirvana Pool that required hundreds or thousands of years to restore 1's peak state, but a supreme treasure capable of reinstating 1's zenith in the blink of an eye.

It is said that when Emperor Jiang underwent his heavenly tribulation to ascend as an immortal, he relied on the Yin-Yang Immortal Elixir to overcome the final trial. Yet the 2 types of Pure Yang Waters required to refine this Yin-Yang Immortal Elixir remain exceedingly rare.

Of the 2 types of Pure Yang waters, the Lunar Divine Water was relatively manageable. Both within the sixth-order ancestral vein beneath the Northern Abyss Sea and the drifting snow palaces of the Far North Ice Plains, there remained a pool of Lunar Divine Spring each, capable of producing 1 portion of Lunar Divine Water every few 1000 years.

However, the Solar Holy Water had already vanished completely from the Violet Realm.

The final portion of Solar Holy Water originated from the Jiang Clan—the former hegemon of the Eastern Sea cultivation realm.

However, ever since the Jiang Clan's sixth-order Water Elemental Ancestral Vein in the Eastern Sea was shattered over 1 1000 years ago, the 'Solar Sacred Spring' within it also collapsed, ceasing to produce that incomparably precious 'Solar Sacred Water'.

By everyone's estimation, there should be no more than 5 portions of Yin-Yang Immortal Water remaining in the Violet Realm now, each a life-preserving treasure of Half-Immortal mighty experts.

Most crucially, this treasure diminished with each use, so naturally no 1 would spare it to salvage a sixth-tier, lower-grade spiritual root.

Seeing that the Tree of Enlightenment showed no hope of revival, Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) ceased his pondering. He produced the numerous treasures seized from the battle and declared, "Let us divide the spoils."

In this battle, the gains reaped by all were unprecedented and immense.

Among the sixth-tier treasures alone were the priceless Enlightenment Blossom and the sword embryo of the Azure Dragon Stirring Seas Sword.

In addition, they found 30-6 scrolls of scriptures within the Profound Turtle Elder's storage pouch.

Among the 30-6 ancient scrolls, most were Nascent Soul Ancient Tomes, but there were 2 exceptionally precious Pure Yang Daoist Scriptures.

1 scroll was titled 'Azure Dragon Dao Tome', while the other was named 'Profound Ice Ancient Codex'.

The Profound Ice Ancient Tome was deduced by the Ancient Tortoise Patriarch. This method could cultivate up to the first level of the Nascent Soul stage and contained the secrets to comprehend the profound ice mystic force. It could be said to be the foundational art embodying the Ancient Tortoise Patriarch's lifelong dedication spanning 10 1000 years.

The Azure Dragon Tome was the enlightenment method of the ancient Azure Dragon of the East Sea. This method transcended the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul realm, allowing cultivation to reach the Half-Immortal stage. It stood as the world's supreme and unparalleled dao scripture, chronicling the path of attaining immortality through physical ascension.

Moreover, within the Azure Dragon Codex was recorded the method to forge the Azure Dragon Sea-Quelling Sword, along with a supreme Great Pure Yang Divine Power.

The Pure Yang Great Divine Art was known as 'Yimu's Azure Dragon Thunder Punishment Dao'. This technique could summon hundreds of millions of Yimu Divine Thunderbolts, coalescing them into a thunderous azure dragon. Its destructive power ranked among the pinnacle of all Pure Yang divine arts.

In terms of pure destructive power alone, it was only second to the Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder.

And that 'Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder' was the foremost great supernatural power in the Zi Realm's cultivation method, and also the trump skill with which Emperor Jiang had slain countless adversaries throughout his journey.

In addition to this supreme Yang divine ability, the Green Dragon Scripture also recorded a method for refining the Second Primordial Spirit.

This technique is named 'True Dragon Incarnation Art'. By refining a second primordial spirit through this method, its combat prowess is nearly on par with cultivators of the same realm, and it can even wield spiritual treasures in battle.

This brought Lyra (Person Name) great delight. Although her second nascent soul possessed considerable spiritual power, its inability to wield spiritual treasures in combat had always rendered it somewhat limited in practical application.

If she could obtain this 'True Dragon Transformation Art,' Lyra could adapt and refine it, integrating it into her second nascent avatar. This would undoubtedly greatly enhance the combat prowess of her second nascent avatar.

At this thought, Eldrin spoke up, "These ancient scrolls are valuable to both of us. How about we each make a copy of the Nascent Soul ancient scroll?"

"Very well." Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) nodded, casting another glance at the 2 scrolls of Pure Yang Celestial Scriptures before remarking, "It's a pity these dao texts are infinitely profound, with every inscribed rune and ancient character containing boundless meaning within their concise forms."

"It requires precious and invaluable Transmission Paper, or ancient golden scrolls to imprint and replicate the full essence."

"At present, we don't possess such treasures in our hands, so how should we proceed with the distribution?"

Eldrin also fell into a pensive silence. Both of these ancient tomes held immeasurable value, offering tremendous utility for their deduction of soul cultivation techniques.

The Azure Dragon Codex naturally went without saying. While the Profound Ice Tome was of somewhat lesser value, it still held some use for Lila (Person Name) in comprehending the mysteries of glacial power—clearly not something to be abandoned.

At this thought, Eldrin spoke: "To refine the Dao Transmission Paper requires fifth-grade, superior-quality bark from the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root, while crafting the Golden Folio Ancient Book demands sixth-grade Golden Jade Divine Marrow. Both are exceedingly precious."

"The creation of the Way-Transmitting Paper requires a considerable amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root bark. This Enlightening Blossom Tree stands barely 3 feet tall and has been mostly destroyed—it seems unsuitable for crafting this artifact."

"Fortunately, our Chen Clan possesses a fifth-grade, superior Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root). It seems we must now let the ancient tree sustain some damage for years to come—stripping a layer of its bark for refinement."

Upon hearing that the Chen family possessed such a precious treasure tree, Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) brightened up and said, "In that case, I shall trouble you with this matter."

After deciding on the distribution of the ancient scripture, the group turned their attention to the remaining treasures.

Among the remaining treasures, the most valuable spiritual objects were the Flower of Enlightenment, the nascent sword form of the Azure Dragon Roiling the Seas Sword, the corporeal body of the Profound Tortoise Demonic Ancestor, and its carapace.

Of the utmost rarity was naturally the Azure Dragon Stirring the Seas Sword. This blade was forged from sixth-grade immortal gold, its value far exceeding even that of the Nascent Soul Elixir.

However, taking this sword would incur the undying enmity of the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast), making this object rather too hot to handle.

Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) examined these treasures and, without much deliberation, reached for the Flower of Enlightenment (Magic Treasure).

With the Sea-Calming Pearl in his possession, a pure Yang spiritual treasure was no longer essential. However, the Enlightening Bloom was something he absolutely had to obtain, leaving him with no other viable choice.

Seeing this, Eldrin directly received the Green Dragon Stirring the Sea Sword. Even in its nascent sword embryo state, this blade had already reached the tier of a Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure. If it were to absorb the dragon soul of a Green Dragon, it would likely advance to the level of a Medium Grade Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure.

It is essential to understand that the might of a mid-grade Pure Yang spiritual treasure is far beyond what an inferior-grade Pure Yang spiritual treasure could ever hope to match.

4 100 years ago, during the cataclysm of the Demon Abyss, the reason why the 'Netherworld Dragon Emperor' could sweep through all foes and inflict devastating losses upon the masses was largely credited to the mid-grade Pure Yin Demonic Artifact—the Dragon's Rebellion Halberd.

Moreover, if the Azure Dragon Sea-Quelling Sword were to be refined into a soul-bound magic treasure and then absorb a dragon soul, it would likely rank among the pinnacle of mid-grade spiritual treasures.

It was precisely because this sword possessed such immense power that no matter how perilous it was to wield, Eldrin had no choice but to claim it. After all, he and the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor had long been irreconcilable foes.

Chapter 1 The Azure Cloud Sect's outer gate disciple, Lin Chen, tightly clutched the 3 Low-Grade Spirit Stones in his hand, his eyes filled with unwavering determination. "With these 3,000 spirit stones, I can finally exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill!" Suddenly, a mocking voice rang out from behind. "A mere Qi Refining Stage trash dares to dream of Foundation Establishment?" Eldrin (Person Name) emerged from the shadows, a cold smile playing on his lips. The Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) in his hand glowed with a faint crimson light. Lin Chen's expression darkened. "Senior Brother Eldrin, must you go so far?" "Hah, in the world of cultivation, the strong prey on the weak. That's the eternal truth!" Eldrin flicked his sleeve, and a powerful spiritual pressure surged forth. "Hand over the spirit stones, and I might spare your life." Lin Chen's gaze sharpened. The 9 Revolutions Mysterious Art (Cultivation Method) within his body began to circulate rapidly. After 20-some years of bitter cultivation, he had long since reached the peak of the Qi Refining Stage, just half a step away from Foundation Establishment. "Since that's the case..." Lin Chen's figure suddenly blurred, "Let me experience the power of the late Foundation Establishment Stage!" The 2 figures clashed in the training ground. Sword lights intertwined, and spiritual energy surged. Lin Chen, despite being at a disadvantage, moved with the grace of a swimming dragon, each strike carrying the force of a 1000 junctures. "You actually concealed your cultivation!" Eldrin exclaimed in shock, his expression shifting dramatically. Lin Chen showed no emotion. "You're not worthy of knowing my true strength." As he spoke, the spirit stones in his hand suddenly shattered, their spiritual energy pouring into his body like a tidal wave. The bottleneck that had trapped him for over a 100 years finally showed signs of loosening. Countless memories flashed through his mind—the hardships of cultivation, the betrayals by friends, the countless life-and-death trials... All of it converged into this single moment of breakthrough. "Foundation Establishment, complete!" A dazzling golden light erupted, illuminating the entire training ground. When the light faded, Lin Chen stood proudly, his aura completely transformed. Eldrin stared in disbelief. "Impossible! How could you break through so quickly?!" Lin Chen gently raised his hand, the spiritual energy around him coalescing into a transparent longsword. "Now, it's my turn." The sword light flashed like a shooting star across the night sky. By the time the onlookers realized what had happened, Eldrin had already collapsed to the ground, his cultivation completely destroyed. "The strong prey on the weak?" Lin Chen sheathed his sword, his voice calm. "From today onward, I will redefine the rules." A gentle breeze swept through, carrying with it the faint scent of peach blossoms. In the distance, the sect's bells chimed, as if heralding the arrival of a new era.
