Chapter 756 Promotion to Pure Yang Immortal Sword

Even this was not quite enough. The 3 of them labored for a full 40-9 years before they finally succeeded in merging the Celestial River Precious Gold into the Celestial River Ren Water Sword, thereby enhancing the material composition of this natal immortal blade.

After completing this step, both of them heaved a heavy sigh of relief. The challenge of advancing the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss had now been mostly resolved, leaving only the tempering of the 5 Elements' essence—a task requiring meticulous and prolonged effort.

Eldrin expended a full 9 wisps of Primordial Purple Qi and spent 20-5 years to gradually refine the vast amount of 5 Elements Essence—worth 3,300 Heavenly Crystals—into his own 5 Elements Essence.

"Bzzz—"

On this day, as the River of Heaven Water Sword of Ren fully refined the essence of the 5 Elements, it suddenly emitted an exceptionally crisp and melodious chime.

But a sapphire sword radiance blossomed, soaring skyward from before Eldrin, flying into the overwhelmingly vast sea of infernal flames.

It is done.

A flicker of delight crossed Eldrin's face as he swiftly flew out of the subterranean fire vein.

Amidst the endless inferno of blazing flames, tribulation clouds had unknowingly spanned tens of thousands of miles, completely enveloping the heavens and earth before them.

Seeing this, Lyra (Person Name) couldn't help but slightly tense her expression.

The heavenly tribulation encountered when 1's Natal Pure Yang Immortal Sword advances to the sixth rank is called the 'Pure Yang Treasure Thunder Tribulation'. Though its power pales in comparison to the Primordial Spirit Tribulation, it remains potent enough to smite a cultivator at the Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm.

If the materials of the ascending spiritual treasure are insufficient, it would easily be shattered to pieces in an instant.

Fortunately, the River of Heaven Water Sword was refined using Pure Yang Immortal Gold, a material that is not only indestructible but also possesses the property of immortality.

Even with Eldrin and Lyra joining forces and drawing upon the power of the earth veins, it would still take 40-9 years to melt it. This demonstrated how thoroughly prepared he was to withstand the heavenly tribulation.

And so it was. Through the raging thunder sea, the Sky-Severing Twin Swords danced with divine grace, ultimately allowing their wielder to transcend the Pure Yang Divine Thunder Tribulation.

After the tribulation lightning, the Heavenly River Immortal Sword descended from the 9 Heavens and flew directly into Eldrin's glabella.

"Clang—"

Feeling the peerless killing intent of the Pure Yang Immortal Sword within him, Eldrin couldn't resist testing the weapon's power.

With a sweep of his sleeve, the Heavenly River Immortal Sword erupted with unparalleled radiance, cleaving through the void with immense force. 1 after another, fissures tore open across the fabric of space itself.

"What a fine immortal sword."

Lyra couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, her eyes widening in astonishment as she said, "With this sword in hand, you shall roam the world unhindered from this day forth."

"Hmm."

Eldrin also nodded involuntarily, a hint of confidence flashing across his expression.

Although he had the Green Abyss Sword (Magic Treasure) in his possession, he was unable to unleash its full power with his current level of magical energy.

However, unleashing its full power would deplete the intrinsic might of the Green Abyss Sword (Magic Treasure), and it could only be activated 3 times at most. Thus, the Green Abyss Sword (Magic Treasure) could only serve as a hidden trump card.

Compared to the Green Abyss Sword (Magic Treasure), this Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss could unleash its full power with his current magic energy, even proving 30 percent more effective than the Green Abyss Sword (Magic Treasure). It would undoubtedly amplify his combat prowess to a remarkable degree.

Moreover, with the successful ascension of the Heavenly River Ren Water Sword, his magic power had been refined and tempered by the feedback from the Pure Yang Immortal Sword. Bolstered by the 3 secret forces within him, the quality of his magic power could now barely rival that of a Pure Yang Dao Lord.

By then, with his spiritual power, he could unleash 80 percent of the Green Abyss Sword (Magic Treasure)'s might. The only drawback was that his current cultivation barely amounted to 30 percent of a Nascent Soul cultivator's capacity—far inferior to the profound reserves of a true Nascent Soul Dao Lord.

However, with the Primordial Green Lotus Throne in his possession, he had stored an immense reserve of extra mana. Even if he couldn’t sustain prolonged combat with the Green Abyss Sword (Magic Treasure), he should at least avoid depleting his energy in just a few moves.

Therefore, overall speaking, this breakthrough significantly enhanced Eldrin's power.

At this thought, a radiant glow spread across Eldrin’s face as he said to Seiki, “By my reckoning, crafting this immortal sword has taken us 70-4 years. It’s time to emerge from seclusion.”

"Hmm, in a few more years, Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) should also attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

Lyra also nodded slightly, a glimmer of amusement flashing in her beautiful eyes as she said.

The 2 departed from the Blazing Prison of Infernal Flames and returned directly to Spirit Isle Lake (Location).

By the shore of Spirit Isle Lake (Location), Eldrin (Person Name) noticed that Qing Ji had also emerged from seclusion. Dozens of years had passed since their last meeting, yet her spiritual power now radiated a sharper, more penetrating aura. It was evident she had successfully refined the Azure Dragon Vastsea Sword (Magic Treasure), and her strength had increased tremendously.

Qing Ji smiled upon seeing the 2 and said, "You’ve finally emerged from seclusion. Has the immortal sword successfully advanced?"

"Hmm, it must be so."

Eldrin nodded slightly, a faint smile gracing his lips as he spoke, "During these years we've been in secluded cultivation, have any major events occurred within our clan?"

Qing Ji fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, her expression turning grave as she said, "Something monumental occurred in the 3 Veins Ancient Domain not long ago."

As Qing Ji’s account unfolded, Eldrin’s gaze grew solemn.

It was not long ago that the former number 1 sect of the Eastern Wastelands (Location), the Tianxuan Sect, had been annihilated.

This must be traced back to the Abyssal Cataclysm. After that calamity, the Heavenly Profound Sect had lost 70 to 80 percent of its strength, falling out of the ranks of the top 10 sects in the Eastern Wastelands. Even within the 3 Veins Ancient Domain, it no longer stood a chance of making the top 10.

Suffering such a devastating blow, the Tianxuan Sect had no choice but to reluctantly abandon the majority of their assets, concentrating all their strength to guard the few remaining spirit mountains and that large spirit stone vein.

As early as 2 100 years ago, the Fang Immortal Clan (Organization) from the Guyuan Mountains had already taken action, seizing that large spirit stone vein from the Tianxuan Sect in 1 decisive move.

Thereafter, the Fang Immortal Clan (Organization) remained quiet for some time. It was thought that the matter had ended there, but unexpectedly, not long ago, the Fang Immortal Clan (Organization) abruptly changed its stance and took action, completely annihilating the Tianxuan Sect (Organization) and devouring all of its assets.

At this point, Qingji (Person Name) spoke up, "In recent years, the Fang Immortal Clan (Organization) has annexed the businesses of over a dozen immortal clans. It seems they are preparing for some moves."

Eldrin (Person Name) furrowed his brow slightly and couldn't help but speak up, "What about the Featherflight Pavilion? Are they simply turning a blind eye to this matter?"

"Master Feiyu is still in seclusion, consolidating his cultivation base," Qingji reported, then paused thoughtfully before adding, "However, I estimate he will emerge from seclusion within 1 jiazi."

"So that's how it is. I think I understand now."

Eldrin nodded slightly before speaking, "The master of the Featherflight Pavilion has broken through to the Primordial Spirit Realm. Even if it's merely a Pseudo-Primordial Spirit, it far surpasses any Half-Step Primordial Spirit."

Once he emerges from seclusion, the Soaring Feather Pavilion is bound to expand its influence. When that time comes, the Fang Immortal Clan (Organization) will inevitably have to relinquish vast swathes of their interests.

Fang Xuan was making his move now because he wanted to seize the opportunity before the Pavilion Master of Feiyu emerged from seclusion. By voraciously annexing numerous immortal clans to amass resources, he aimed to assault the Nascent Soul realm.

At this point, a trace of icy sternness surfaced in his pupils.

Seeing this, Lila (Person Name) standing nearby said with a frosty gaze, "That Fang Immortal Clan (Organization) holds a life-and-death grudge against us. Once he breaks through to the Nascent Soul realm, I fear we'll be his first target."
