Chapter 780 Nascent Soul Stage 8, Tier 6 Immortal Pear Tree

The primordial golden energy, long suppressed by the Pure Yang Fire and Profound Abyssal Water, unexpectedly harmonized with the Primordial Earth energy. Together, they entered a stalemate against the fire and water spiritual forces, locked in an uncanny equilibrium.

It is done.

Eldrin let out a sigh of relief. Having successfully cultivated the secret power of the Primordial Earth still filled him with immense astonishment.

Although comprehending the secret power of the Primordial Earth had increased his magic power by less than 10 percent, it nevertheless brought him 1 step closer to simultaneously mastering all 5 secret forces. This filled him with profound satisfaction.

He had a feeling that once he fully comprehended the 5 secret forces, his spiritual power would undergo a remarkable transformation.

"Now that the mana conversion is complete, it's time to make the breakthrough."

Suppressing the tumult of his thoughts, Eldrin murmured softly, his eyes flickering with contemplation.

The resources he now possessed were far beyond what an ordinary True Monarch could hope to rival. Having broken through to the Nascent Soul, 7th Tier (Cultivation Realm) 2 100 years ago, he had consumed numerous rare and precious spiritual treasures to enhance his cultivation. His spiritual power had now become perfectly refined and flawless.

At this moment, while converting his spiritual power, he refined his magic energy—a perfect opportunity to break through to the 8th Tier of the Nascent Soul Realm.

With such a profound foundation, breaking through the bottleneck of Nascent Soul, 8th Tier (Cultivation Realm) was as natural as water flowing downhill. In merely half a month, he emerged from seclusion, having fully consolidated his cultivation.

By the time he emerged from seclusion, Lila (Person Name) had already been waiting for quite some time.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he detected that both Lyra (Person Name) and Qingji had been waiting for quite some time. He inquired directly, "Wasn't Lyra (Person Name) comprehending the third secret force? Why has she emerged from seclusion so early?"

"News has arrived from the Gu Yuan Mountain Range."

Lyra spoke directly, her face paling as she said, "That Profound Water Immortal Pear (Spiritual Object) tree has ascended."

"Is that truly the case?"

A wild elation swept across Eldrin’s face as he promptly rose to his feet. “Let’s go,” he said eagerly, “we should check it out first.”

Now within the clan, although the Eldrin Flower Tree remained a sixth-grade Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), it was ultimately incomplete and would require at least 3 to 4 100 years to restore its sixth-grade realm.

By comparison, only after its advancement could this Profound Water Immortal Pear (Spiritual Object) tree truly be considered the first sixth-grade Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) within the clan.

Such a supreme treasure was so precious that it could hardly be measured in material wealth—no wonder Eldrin was so exhilarated.

The 4 of them did not dare to delay along the way and directly took the teleportation array to reach the Guyuan Mountain Range, only to discover that the Old Clan Leader had already arrived 1 step ahead.

At this moment, the spiritual energy within the veins of Gu Yuan Mountain had grown so dense it was nearly tangible, clearly indicating the spirit veins had advanced directly to the Sixth Order.

Chen Changxuan was deeply engrossed in conversation with Daoist Dinghai when he spotted Eldrin approaching. His face lit up with delight as he exclaimed, "You've come at the perfect moment! Come quickly and behold this Profound Water Immortal Pear tree."

"Brother Dinghai, Elder Uncle."

Eldrin exchanged greetings before turning his gaze toward the Profound Water Immortal Pear tree.

Yet upon this Profound Water Immortal Pear (Spiritual Object) tree, only 3 solitary immortal pears had formed, each brimming with overwhelmingly vibrant primordial energy.

He immediately activated his supernatural power to divine the timeline, only to discover that this Profound Water Immortal Pear (Spiritual Object) tree took 3 100 years to blossom, another 3 100 years to bear fruit, and yet another 3 100 years for the fruit to ripen. In other words, it required a full 1 1000 years to produce just 3 Profound Water Immortal Pears (Spiritual Object).

The resulting Profound Water Immortal Pear (Spiritual Object) contained the elusive essence of the earth's origin. Though it could not enhance a cultivator's cultivation base, it increased their chances of successfully summoning the Earth Soul by 20 percent.

At this thought, Eldrin could not help but reveal a look of pleasant surprise.

You must understand, when a cultivator draws upon the terrestrial soul, they break through to the Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm) in a single leap.

Once a mighty cultivator takes this step, their magical power will have doubled compared to a Great Perfection Nascent Soul realm expert. Throughout the entire Eastern Wastelands, there are merely 30 to 40 such individuals.

The Profound Water Immortal Pear (Spiritual Object) could enhance the likelihood of successfully guiding the Earthly Soul, making its value truly immeasurable. When utilized by a suitable cultivator, it could approximately yield 1 or 2 additional Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm) practitioners every 1000 years.

While 1 or 2 Half-Step Primordial Spirits (Cultivation Realm) might seem insignificant, they were exceedingly rare in the Eastern Wastelands (Location). Most of the 30-some Half-Step Primordial Spirits (Cultivation Realm) had lived for 7 or 8 1000 years.

Including those Half-Step Primordial Spirits (Cultivation Realm) who fell in battle over the years, the Eastern Wastelands (Location) on average produced only 5 or 6 newly ascended Half-Step Primordial Spirits (Cultivation Realm) every millennium.

The Profound Water Immortal Pear (Spiritual Object) tree could nurture 1 or 2 Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm) cultivators every 1000 years, demonstrating the immense value of this tree.

At this thought, Eldrin sighed and said, "What a pity this Profound Water Immortal Pear is useless for guiding the Celestial Soul—otherwise its value would multiply several times over."

"Items for breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm are exceedingly rare. I fear you are being overly greedy, my worthy brother."

Seeing this, Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) nearby couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.

Seeing this, the group couldn't help but laugh. A Soul Convergence Elixir capable of helping cultivators channel their heavenly souls could fetch a price of over 10,000 Heavenly Crystals (Spiritual Object) per pill.

In the Eastern Wastelands (Location), the Ethereal Soul Elixir is refined only once every millennium, yielding no more than 1 or 2 batches. At its scarcest, merely 3 to 4 pills are produced; even at its most abundant, barely 7 or 8 materialize.

Yet even so, every time a Soul Elixir was successfully refined, it would spark a frenzied bidding war among the mighty figures. 10 1000 Heavenly Crystals (Spiritual Object) was merely the starting price.

The 6-Realm Profound Water Immortal Pears (Spiritual Object) borne by this tree, though only effective for breakthroughs to the Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm), would see their value greatly diminished. Yet each fruit could likely fetch a price exceeding 3,000 Heavenly Crystals (Spiritual Object).

By that calculation, the Profound Water Immortal Pear (Spiritual Object) tree produces 3 fruits every 1000 years—enough to bring Eldrin (Person Name) astonishing wealth, enough to make even a Primordial Spirit Dao Lord envious.

Eldrin couldn't help but smile as well. He plucked the Samadhi Immortal Pear and then bid farewell to Maris the Sea Steader.

The group returned to Verdant Chariot Mountain (Location). Eldrin (Person Name) led the old patriarch and his 3 dao companions into the main hall. After a moment of contemplative silence, he spoke:

"Our clan does not possess a sixth-tier storage treasure capable of containing the essence dissipation of this Profound Water Immortal Pear (Spiritual Object). Even with exhaustive efforts, we could only preserve it for a 1000 years at most."

"Within the clan, only Lila (Person Name) and the Elder Uncle would require this item in the next 1 1000 years. Now that we have 1 extra pill, let us discuss how it should be allocated."

Upon hearing this, the group couldn't help but exchange glances.

Among the many cultivators of the Chen Family, those with the most rapid progress in cultivation were none other than Eldrin and his 4 dao companions, along with their clansman Kael.

However, among the several individuals, apart from Lila (Person Name), none of the others required external aids to connect with their Earth Souls.

Apart from this, the cultivation progress of the others had slowed somewhat. For Chen Ethan and several newly-advanced Heavenly Dao Nascent Souls in the clan, it had only been a few 100 years since their breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

Although Elara had advanced early and now broke through to the Nascent Soul, 6th Tier, her innate talent and foundation remained somewhat frail. It was likely the threshold of the late Nascent Soul stage would trap her for hundreds or even thousands of years.

In contrast, Chen Changxuan cultivated the Art of Ascendant Immortal Vein Creation and, bolstered by the earth vein’s feedback and empowerment, saw his cultivation progress advance at a remarkably swift pace.

Moreover, his success in restoring the calamity of the Blazing Prison Fire Sea earned him the favor of the unseen will of heaven and earth. A minor bottleneck like the late Nascent Soul stage would not pose any significant trouble for him.

So, as expected, Elder Uncle should be able to reach the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul realm within a 1000 years.

At this thought, Qing Ji spoke instead: "Sister Zi Ji has repeatedly aided us over the years, and she contributed greatly in slaying Fang Xuan. Let the extra pill remain with her."
