Chapter 784 Ascending to Tianxu Slaying Immortal Sword

This seclusion did not last long. After just over 20 years had passed, he temporarily concluded his cultivation.

That day, Lyra sought out Lyra with evident delight, her beautiful eyes sparkling with excitement as she said, "The Great Luo Immortal Gold has successfully gestated."

It turned out that not long ago, the Great Luo Immortal Gold within the earth veins near the Divine Bird Peak had finally completed its gestation.

The Great Luo Immortal Gold was originally a peerless immortal gold embryo that had only developed halfway. In recent years, Lyra (Person Name) had devoted exceptional care to it, continuously reinforcing the formation to nurture the precious metal. Through these efforts, the Great Luo Immortal Gold had finally taken shape ahead of schedule.

At this moment, the Great Luo Immortal Gold had advanced to the Sixth Order realm of Pure Yang Treasure Gold. It was time to begin refining the Great Luo Immortal Gold to help Lyra (Person Name) ascend into the Heaven's Ruin Immortal-Slaying Sword.

At this thought, Eldrin said, "In that case, let us not delay any further."

Without wasting any time, the 2 retrieved the Great Luo Immortal Gold and immediately descended into the subterranean fire veins beneath the Sea of Blazing Flames.

Without a sixth-grade subterranean fire vein, refining sixth-grade precious metals proved exceedingly difficult. When upgrading the River of Heaven Ren Water Sword last time, merely smelting the precious metals had taken the 2 of them a full 40-9 years.

Including the 20-5 years spent refining the 5 Elements essence, they had spent a total of 70-4 years before finally succeeding in its advancement.

Fortunately, the Flaming Abyss of the Infernal Prison had now advanced to the quasi-sixth rank through the Elder Clan Leader’s continuous mediation. Moreover, with the significant increase in both cultivators’ mana and strength, the refinement process had been shortened considerably.

Yet even so, it took them 40 years to successfully smelt it. Combined with the time spent refining the 5 Elements essence, they spent a full 60 years before finally succeeding in its advancement.

After all this busyness, it was nearing the year 20,680 of the Dao Calendar. The once-in-a-1000-year opportunity for Communion of Heaven and Man had already passed for several decades.

Fortunately, after the advancement of the Heavenly Ruins Immortal-Slaying Sword, Lyra's (Person Name) power had greatly increased. From now on, even without the assistance of the Green Abyss Sword (Magic Treasure), her strength would be sufficient to intervene in battles at the Primordial Spirit level.

Compared to this, even the Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root) that induces communion between heaven and man is hardly worth mentioning.

After the immortal sword successfully advanced, Eldrin (Person Name) went straight to find the old patriarch who was operating the grand formation.

After meeting the elder uncle, Eldrin smiled and asked, "During these years we've been in seclusion, have there been any major events occurring in Eastern Wastelands?"

During Eldrin's seclusion, 2 momentous events were destined to unfold in the Eastern Wastelands—precisely why Eldrin had inquired about the changes occurring there.

The first matter was that batch of Ethereal Soul Pills refined by Elder Longhe, and the second was the phenomenon of Heaven-Man Resonance.

"Indeed, there are quite a few matters to attend to."

The grandfather and grandson sat facing each other. Chen Changxu poured a cup of tea for Eldrin before slowly recounting the changes that had taken place in the Eastern Wastelands over the past 60 years.

As he recounted the tale in a measured tone, Eldrin soon grasped the changes unfolding within the Eastern Wastelands.

Around 50 years ago, the batch of Primordial Spirit Pills refined by Elder Changhe was finally completed. This time, he had successfully produced 4 Primordial Spirit Pills—a considerable number by any measure.

Among these 4 Soul Elixirs, there was no need to elaborate on the first 1—it naturally fell into the hands of Huantian Ji (Person Name).

The second 1 was taken by the Lin Immortal Clan (Organization). It was said this had been agreed upon back when Riverlong Taoist (Cultivator) purchased the Lin family’s Nirvana Apricot (Heavenly Material).

The third and fourth pieces were put up for auction, with 1 falling into the hands of the Liu Immortal Clan of the 10 1000 Void Ancient Domain, while the other was purchased by the Kunyuan Sect of the Star Lake Ancient Domain.

The Liu Immortal Clan of the Myriad Void Ancient Domain and the Yao Xi Palace of the Star Lake Ancient Domain—Eldrin had some understanding of them as well.

Both families possessed extraordinary foundations, with the Liu Immortal Clan once being a Dao Lord's sacred land that had housed a Primordial Spirit Ancestor.

Alas, during the Demonic Abyss Cataclysm over 2,600 years ago, the founding Ancestral Soul Dao Lord of the Liu Immortal Clan fell in battle.

As per the agreement made that year, the human race was required to offer 1 Soul Elixir (Pill) to the Liu Clan as compensation for the fallen Nascent Soul Dao Lord.

It is a pity that the Liu lineage suffered heavy losses back then, and only after more than 2,600 years has it regained its vitality, finally giving birth to a new Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm).

Since the Liu Family had now produced a new Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm), the Primordial Spirit powerhouses of the Eastern Wastelands (Location) deliberated and decided to honor their previous commitment by granting 1 Primordial Spirit Pill to the Liu Family.

In addition, the Palace of Luminant Dawn had a relatively short legacy, having risen to become a Nascent Soul-level power for only 2,000 years. Its palace master, the Luminant Dawn Fairy, was renowned throughout the Eastern Wastelands as a peerless beauty.

It is said that in the era of Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress (Person Name), she ranked second among the 10 Great Immortal Maidens of the Eastern Wastelands, surpassed only by the present-day Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress (Person Name) who had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Even renowned beauties such as Lilith, Mistress of Desire (Person Name) and Ivy the Verdant Fairy (Person Name) were ranked beneath them.

Speaking of the 10 great fairies from that era in the Eastern Wastelands (Location), only 4 of them remained in this world after 1 1000 years had passed.

Of the remaining 6 peerless fairies, some fell in battle during the Cataclysm of the Demonic Abyss, while others were edged out of the 10 Great Fairies ranking due to advanced age and diminished potential for further growth.

In the present-day Eastern Wastelands (Location), those universally acclaimed as the 10 Great Immortal Maidens are Lyra (Person Name), Azure Enchantress, Violet Banquet Enchantress, along with several other peerless prodigies who have risen to prominence over the past 1000 years, breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage.

Even Lila (Person Name), by virtue of her Heaven’s Path Nascent Soul foundation and exceptionally youthful advantage, managed to squeeze into the ranks of the 10 Great Immortal Maidens.

After all, in this world of cultivation, 1's appearance is not only innate but also influenced by their cultivation base. The higher a cultivator's realm and the greater their potential, the more their physical form is refined and perfected under the nourishment of spiritual power.

A woman's level of cultivation, as well as her potential to break through to higher realms, are crucial factors in determining her eligibility for the 10 Great Immortal Maidens selection.

Getting back to the main topic, after Chen Changxuan finished explaining the fates of those Nascent Souls, he shook his head and said:

Among these individuals, the Liu Clan Patriarch, the Nascent Soul Seed of the Lin Immortal Clan (Organization), and even that Huan Tianji had all failed in their breakthroughs.

However, Fairy Yao Xi had broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, successfully summoning her Celestial Soul in 1 fell swoop and becoming the second female Nascent Soul Dao Lord in the Eastern Wastelands.

Upon hearing this, Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly. After a moment of contemplation, he remarked, "First it was Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress, and now it's Fairy Yaoxi. It seems their generation's 10 Great Fairies truly produced an extraordinary array of talents."

"Indeed." Chen Changxuan nodded, then continued, "A few years ago, Palace Master Qingyao also summoned her Terrestrial Soul, breaking through to the Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm)."

"Oh?"

Eldrin (Person Name) raised a faint brow. The Palace Mistress of Qingyao had always maintained an exceedingly low profile; he never expected her to achieve a breakthrough at such a time.

The old clan leader stroked his long beard with a faint smile. "Ivy the Verdant Fairy has formed a cultivation partnership with Daoist Dinghai. With his support, her breakthrough proceeded rather smoothly."

"So that's how it is."

Eldrin couldn't help but shake his head upon hearing this, a trace of surprise flashing across his expression.

Unlike Lyra (Person Name) who already had a dao companion, and Qingji (Person Name), Palace Mistress Qingyao and Yan Ziji (Person Name)—peerless prodigies who had formed Heavenly Dao Nascent Souls—were the perfect dao companions countless True Lords across the Eastern Wastelands (Location) dreamed of day and night.

In their youth, figures like Daoist 9 Rivers and Daoist Lord Calm Seas had mostly harbored deep admiration for the Palace Master of Qingyao.
