Chapter 807 : The Glazed Armor's Ascension

In the past, after slaying the Golden-Winged Great Peng Demon Emperor, the Chen Clan obtained a vast quantity of exceedingly precious Arcane Gold and forged a suit of Golden Glazed Armor.

Later, after vanquishing Xuan Fang, they acquired that peerlessly powerful Orange-Gold Glazed Armor. If they could now obtain this Azure-Gold Glazed Armor, they could proceed to fuse the three precious armors.

Once the fusion of the armors succeeded, the Chen Clan would possess a single suit of Pure Yang Grade Triple Treasure Glazed Armor.

That would be a Pure Yang Grade Defensive Spiritual Treasure [a protective artifact of the highest order]. Whether used to withstand the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation [the celestial trial of lightning] or to face enemies, it would serve as a crucial life-preserving asset.

Now that the treasure had appeared, Eldrin Chen directly transmitted his voice, "Immortal Maiden Lingxi, this Azure-Gold Glazed Armor is indeed extraordinary. I offer four thousand Heavenly Crystal [a purified, high-density form of spiritual energy currency]. What say you?"

"Four thousand Heavenly Crystal?"

Upon hearing this, Immortal Maiden Lingxi could not help but glance at Eldrin Chen.

Generally, the value of a single Quasi-Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure [a near-perfect defensive artifact] hovered around three thousand Heavenly Crystal.

The Azure-Gold Glazed Armor was a top-tier specimen among Quasi-Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure, offering significant utility for weathering the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, thus commanding a premium price.

Eldrin Chen's offer of four thousand Heavenly Crystal was, by all accounts, a fair valuation. For more chapters, visit audio-novel.com (official site) for the complete novel.

However, with the impending Demonic Abyss Cataclysm [a cataclysmic event involving the eruption of demonic forces from the abyss], everyone is urgently seeking to purchase protective treasures. Besides Eldrin Chen, several others have placed bids, with the highest offer slightly exceeding his.

Knowing Eldrin Chen's extraordinary status and understanding his greater wealth, Lingxi, the Immortal Maiden [a female immortal cultivator] sent a voice transmission to him: "This price from the Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a fellow cultivator] is indeed not low, but another Fellow Daoist has offered a higher sum."

"Moreover, after Sister Dawnlight [a respectful and affectionate title for the Immortal Maiden Yao Xi] broke through to the Primordial Spirit [the Nascent Soul stage, where a cultivator's spiritual core takes a primordial form] realm, she has been gathering Heavenly Crystal [a high-purity form of spiritual energy crystal] to advance her Lifebound Spiritual Treasure [a magical artifact bound to a cultivator's life force and soul]. Could the Fellow Daoist add a little more? It would make it easier for me to explain to my sister."

Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed slightly. Understanding the treasure's preciousness, he spoke, "I will add another one thousand Heavenly Crystal. What do you think?"

Hearing his renewed offer, Lingxi, the Immortal Maiden's expression shifted. She had heard this Abyssal Daoist [a title for Eldrin Chen, referencing his connection to the abyssal dao] already possessed two sets of Glazed Armor. She might be able to secure an exorbitant premium.

Yet she understood that appearing too greedy would leave a poor impression on Eldrin Chen, even if he purchased it, making future interactions difficult.

"Five thousand Heavenly Crystal is already a significant premium. Rather than tarnishing my reputation, it is better to accept a favorable deal."

"After all, the Three Veins Immortal Alliance [a powerful alliance of three immortal lineages or sects] is formidable. In the future, we may need to rely on them to resist the evil demons."

With this thought, Lingxi, the Immortal Maiden smiled and said, "Let it be as the Fellow Daoist says."

"Then I thank the Immortal Maiden."

After concluding the transaction, Eldrin Chen stored away the Azure-Gold Glazed Armor with a look of evident satisfaction.

With this Azure-Gold Glazed Armor in hand, once he returned to the Ji Continent, he could begin the process of synthesizing the Glazed Armor of the Three Treasures.

A Supreme Treasure of Pure Yang was an object of immense value; even a supreme powerhouse at the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage would not find it excessive, let alone the current Chen Immortal Clan.

Although this transaction had involved a slight premium, compared to the worth of the Glazed Armor of the Three Treasures, it was a negligible matter.

Having secured the Azure-Gold Glazed Armor, there was no need for him to personally oversee the remaining treasures. Thus, Eldrin Chen saw little reason to linger any longer.

Seeing this, Alkaid, the Star Lord personally escorted Eldrin Chen out of the Star Palace.

At the moment of parting, Alkaid, the Star Lord wore a hesitant expression, as if he wished to say something but held his tongue.

Noticing this, Eldrin Chen smiled and said, "Judging by your demeanor, Fellow Daoist, is there something you wish for my assistance with?"

"Brother Jade Balance [a title referring to Alkaid, the Star Lord], please speak freely. If it is within my power to help, I will naturally lend my strength."

Having obtained the Azure-Gold Glazed Armor this time, Eldrin Chen felt he owed Alkaid, the Star Lord a minor favor.

Within the bounds of his capability, Eldrin Chen naturally intended to reciprocate in kind.

"To speak frankly, my request is indeed somewhat presumptuous," Alkaid, the Star Lord took a deep breath before inquiring, "I recently heard that the Drifting Snow Palace promised you two Nascent Soul Pills [pills that significantly increase the chance of a Golden Core cultivator forming a Nascent Soul]."

"Once Senior Riverlord refines the Treasure Pill [a rare and potent pill that aids in nurturing and empowering magical treasures], you will receive that Nascent Soul Pill?"

In but an instant, Eldrin Chen's pupils contracted, understanding the true Nascent Soul [the spiritual core formed after transcending the Golden Core realm] of Alkaid, the Star Lord's visit.

As the saying goes, treasures stir the hearts of men. For a Nascent Soul True Lord [a powerful cultivator who has successfully formed their Nascent Soul], a Nascent Soul Pill is often more coveted than even a Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure [a supreme-grade magical artifact imbued with the pure essence of Yang energy].

Alkaid, the Star Lord's true purpose in inviting him to the Star Palace was, in fact, for that very Nascent Soul Pill. This chapter is part of a larger work available at AUDIO-NOVEL.COM.

Noting the shift in Eldrin Chen's expression, Alkaid, the Star Lord drew another deep breath and spoke, "I know these words are indeed presumptuous, but Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a fellow cultivator] is a talent bestowed by the heavens themselves."

"With your innate aptitude and an Innate Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure [a supreme magical treasure born with pure Yang properties, often of legendary grade] in hand, breaking through to the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator, a stage beyond Nascent Soul] likely does not require a Nascent Soul Pill. That is why I swallow my pride to seek this item."

Seeing the sincerity in Alkaid, the Star Lord's demeanor, Eldrin Chen finally relaxed his stern countenance.

His gaze grew focused, and he spoke with measured seriousness, "To be perfectly honest, this treasure was originally an heirloom of the former Jiang Clan. I do not have the sole authority to sell it to you; I must seek my wife's consent as well."

Seeing that Eldrin Chen's words seemed to carry a tone of polite refusal, Alkaid, the Star Lord still harbored some reluctance and said, "Your esteemed wife is also a peerless talent, surpassing her generation. I'm afraid she wouldn't require this Nascent Soul Pill [a legendary pill that aids in the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm] either."

"I have already spoken with several Nascent Soul Dao Lord [a supreme cultivator who has attained the Nascent Soul realm and comprehended a profound Dao] within the Star Palace. If you are willing to trade the Nascent Soul Pill to us, you could even exchange it for a Sixth Rank Spiritual Object [a spiritual treasure of immense power, corresponding to the Nascent Soul realm]."

"If you find the Spiritual Object [an object imbued with profound spiritual energy, used for cultivation or combat] within our Star Palace unworthy, in eight hundred years when our Star Palace's Nascent Soul Flower [a celestial herb that is a core ingredient for refining the Nascent Soul Pill] matures, we can refine it into a Treasure Pill [a supreme-grade pill of exceptional efficacy] and then return a Nascent Soul Pill to you."

"Oh?"

Eldrin Chen's eyes flickered slightly. The Star Palace, as the legacy left behind by the ancient Seven Star Immortals, possessed a Deep-Seated Foundation [the accumulated strength, resources, and heritage of a force] so profound it ranked first within the Eastern Wastelands.

Had it not endured several cataclysmic tribulations that ravaged the Eastern Wastelands, the Star Palace would have been even more powerful than legacies like the Separated Flame Hall and the Drifting Snow Palace, second only to peak-level inheritances like the Dao Palace Sacred Land.

It was said that long before the outbreak of the Demonic Abyss Cataclysm, each of the star halls within the Star Palace had at least one Nascent Soul Dao Lord presiding over it.

In that era, the Star Palace's seven lineages produced seven Nascent Soul Dao Lord who coexisted in the world. They could jointly activate the Big Dipper Seven Stars Demon-Suppressing Grand Formation [a legendary formation harnessing the power of the seven stars of the Big Dipper], and their combined force was even sufficient to suppress a Demigod Ancestor [a cultivator who has transcended the Nascent Soul realm, touching the threshold of divinity]. They could even offer some resistance against a true Immortal [a being who has ascended beyond mortality, attaining eternal life and boundless power].

At that time, the Star Palace was the foremost Sacred Land [a place of immense spiritual power and profound legacy] in the Eastern Wastelands, renowned as one of the four mightiest Sacred Land in the Purple Realm, alongside the Southern Ridge Dao Palace and the Western Pole Tranquil Spirit Temple.

Alas, since the eruption of the Demonic Abyss Cataclysm, the Star Palace had suffered several devastating blows and could no longer gather seven Nascent Soul Dao Lord.

In the present era, the Nascent Soul Dao Lord of the Star Palace number only four, yet this still represents the sect's most glorious peak in the past ten thousand years.

A legacy of such splendor undoubtedly possesses rare treasures that would make even Eldrin Chen's mouth water.

Contemplating this, Eldrin Chen pondered briefly before speaking. "I have heard that within the Star Palace resides the 'Nine Heavens Star Core'. I wonder if this rumor holds any truth?"

"You seek the 'Star Core'?"

Upon hearing this, Alkaid, the Star Lord's expression shifted subtly.

The so-called Nine Heavens Star Core is the very heart of a Nine Heavens Star Fragment, an object of truly immeasurable value.

It is said that within the Boundless Starry Sky, a Nine Heavens Star Core can only be unleashed during the cataclysmic death throes of a celestial star. Read, share, and discuss at audio-novel dot com.
