Chapter 793 : Whispers of the Immortal Mansion

"Since the Immortal Mansion [a grand residence for powerful immortals] blocks spiritual sense, we must proceed with caution."

Eldrin Chen attempted to activate the Polarity Void Mirror [a mystical artifact capable of manipulating spatial forces], only to discover that the space within the grotto-mansion was also exceptionally stable. It seemed even the power of such a Spiritual Treasure [a powerful enchanted artifact] would be insufficient to breach it.

Seeing this, he furrowed his brow and spoke with grave seriousness, "It appears the spatial fabric here is incredibly resilient. Should we encounter any Primordial Spirit Demons [powerful demons that have cultivated their spiritual core to a high level], we must avoid entanglement at all costs."

"Let us first regroup with the others."

They had entered the mansion mere moments after the others, yet upon arrival, they found themselves separated. This unexpected isolation filled each of them with a sense of unease.

The four of them stepped forward, but had taken only a few paces when a faint sensation stirred within them.

Eldrin Chen halted and looked at his companions. "Do you feel it as well?" he asked.

"It feels like... a certain presence is calling to us?"

Exquisite Jiang murmured, her voice tinged with uncertainty.

Lila frowned, equally puzzled. "Ever since I entered this place," she said, "I've had a vague sense of an aura deep within the mansion that feels... profoundly compatible with my own essence." For more chapters, visit audio-novel*com for the complete novel.

All four of them furrowed their brows. Once a cultivator reaches the Infant Soul Realm [the stage where one's nascent soul is formed], they possess an extremely high level of spiritual intuition. If they sense something, it is rarely a false alarm.

For all four of them to have the same premonition, it was likely a measure left behind by the master of the Immortal Mansion [a grand celestial abode], seemingly intending to guide them in a specific direction.

Thinking this, Verdant Consort pondered for a moment before saying, "In that case, let us go and investigate."

With a potential opportunity before them, the group acted decisively, deciding to first seek out the source of this beckoning.

Following the subtle guidance of their intuition, the four flew for the better part of a day. They finally pierced through layers of dense mist and arrived before an ancient Great Hall. Above its entrance were inscribed three large characters.

"Inheritance Hall!"

Eldrin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he instantly understood the significance of this Great Hall.

Lila's eyes lit up, and she couldn't contain her excitement. "An Inheritance Grand Hall [a hall dedicated to passing down a legacy] left by an Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality]! It seems this place holds the core orthodox inheritance of the Ancient Immortal [an immortal from a bygone era]."

"Let's go inside first."

As Verdant Consort spoke, the group stepped forward and entered the Great Hall.

This Great Hall seemed to be protected by an extremely powerful Formation [a defensive or offensive energy array]. It was likely that even a Primordial Spirit Path Lord [a cultivator who has condensed their spiritual essence into a Primordial Spirit and comprehended a Path] would be unable to force their way inside. Yet, it offered no resistance to the group of four, allowing them to step unimpeded into the Great Hall.

Just as they crossed the threshold, two figures materialized outside the Great Hall. They were none other than Patriarch Wang and Glacier Old Demon.

The two now stood before the Great Hall, watching the four figures vanish within. A cold glint flickered in their eyes.

The Glacier Old Demon glanced at Patriarch Wang and let out a cold, mocking laugh. "This place holds the legacy of an Ancient Immortal [an immortal who has lived through countless ages]. With our level of cultivation, we are utterly unworthy of receiving such a transmission."

"Ironically, it is these True Lord [cultivators who have mastered a profound truth or law] who have not yet condensed their Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] who stand a chance of inheriting the Ancient Immortal's lineage."

"Indeed," Patriarch Wang agreed, his voice flat.

He held a crystal-clear, lustrous pearl in his hand—it was none other than the Sect-Suppressing Supreme Treasure [a supreme artifact that protects a major sect] of the Flying Snow Pavilion, the Profound Soul Pearl.

As he channeled his spiritual power to suppress the Profound Soul Pearl, a sneer twisted his lips. "The fools from the Flying Snow Pavilion dared to scheme against us, thinking they could use us as shields against the Chen Clan members."

"Insignificant ants, daring to plot against a Path Lord Patriarch [a clan or sect leader]. They are truly blinded by the tribulation's chaotic energy, courting their own doom."

The Glacier Old Demon carefully stored away the remains of the two Half-Step Primordial Spirit Realm [cultivators on the verge of condensing their Primordial Spirit] cultivators, a flicker of satisfaction crossing his features.

This time, obtaining the remains of two cultivators at the Half-Step Primordial Spirit Realm [a cultivation stage just below the Primordial Spirit Realm] allowed him to refine two Glacier Iron Corpse [powerful, frost-imbued undead constructs]. This would grant him several additional layers of combat strength in the days to come.

He cast a covetous glance at the Profound Soul Pearl [a mystical orb that can manipulate and absorb souls] held by Patriarch Wang and said, "We worked together to slay the four from Returning Abyss. Their Spiritual Treasure [a general term for enchanted artifacts] should go to me, and this Profound Soul Pearl should be mine as well."

"Do not worry," Patriarch Wang replied, his gaze cold and profound. "Once the four are dead, the Immortal Inheritance [a legacy of cultivation techniques and secrets from an immortal] belongs to me. All other treasures are yours, including this Profound Soul Pearl."

"Excellent." A chill flickered in the eyes of Frost Soul Patriarch as he added with a cold sneer, "Rest assured, the void here is sealed. None of them can escape."

"..."

Meanwhile, the four of them stepped into the Great Hall. This content originates from audio-novel[dot]com. Please respect copyright.

Eldrin Chen looked up and found the interior to be exceptionally vast and Serene [a state of profound peace and clarity].

The decorations within were crafted from white icy jade. Gazing around, one could see beams of pure white, cleansing immortal light cascading down, imbuing the space with a transcendent, otherworldly aura.

At the Central point of the Great Hall lay a frigid pool. It was filled with an immortal liquid exuding a swirling, icy mist, its waters shimmering with a radiant, ethereal glow.

With just a single breath of the air above it, everyone felt every pore in their body open wide, as if they were on the verge of ascending to immortality itself.

"It's the Frost Soul Cold Pool!"

Eldrin Chen's expression shifted slightly as he recognized the origin of this frigid pool.

This 'Frost Soul Cold Pool' is the essence condensed from the glaciers of the Heavenly Mountain, formed by gathering the power of ice that has remained unmelting for countless eons upon that sacred peak.

The Mysterious Soul Cold Water is a rare treasure of the Sixth Rank found between heaven and earth. It can be used as a medicinal ingredient to enhance the quality and success rate of elixirs, or for refining magical treasure [enchanted artifacts used by cultivators] and cultivating Divine Ability [supernatural powers attained through cultivation].

Typically, a single portion is valued at over ten thousand Heavenly Crystal [a high-grade form of spiritual energy crystal], making it a treasure that even a Primordial Spirit Path Lord [a master cultivator whose spirit has reached its primordial state] would covet.

The Mysterious Soul Cold Water accumulated here over several hundred thousand years amounts to several dozen portions—enough to drive any Primordial Spirit Path Lord to frenzy.

Seeing this, everyone was immensely excited, their hearts swelling with near-delirious joy.

Beyond the Frost Soul Cold Pool, Eldrin Chen also saw nine streams of white gas swirling above the void, circling the immortal pool. Their radiance was dazzlingly brilliant, so much so that it caused the group to momentarily lose their senses.

"Immortal Energy [the pure, condensed energy of the heavens, a substance of supreme rarity and power]."

Exquisite Jiang drew a sharp breath, unable to suppress naming the origin of these nine streams of gas.

Immortal Energy [a purified, transcendent form of spiritual power used by true Immortals] is incomparably precious, a supreme treasure that only an Immortal [a being who has ascended beyond mortality] can refine. This substance can elevate the bloodline of Demon Beasts, advance the foundations of various Spiritual Treasure [enchanted artifacts] and divine objects, and is the key treasure for cultivating the Great Encompassing Infant Soul [the Nascent Soul stage].

Although there are many Immortal Path Lineage [sects and clans following the Immortal cultivation path] within the Purple Seal Realm, ever since the Demonic Abyss Cataclysm, the Immortal Energy within the Purple Seal Realm has been nearly exhausted through successive calamities.

Within the current Human Race, only a handful of Immortal Path Lineage retain extremely scant reserves of Immortal Energy, likely totaling no more than ten strands combined.

Yet here, a full Nine Strands of Immortal Energy have appeared, leaving everyone present utterly astounded.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Eldrin Chen could not help but speak, "Legend states that after an Immortal achieves ascension, they can remain in the mortal world for at most a thousand years. Beyond that, an irresistible Heavenly Tribulation [a cataclysmic trial of lightning and fire sent by the heavens] will descend."

"Within those thousand years, even if an Immortal expends their cultivation power without regard for loss, they can leave behind at most ten strands of Immortal Energy."

"With Nine Strands of Immortal Energy present here, it seems this Ancient Immortal held their chosen successor in the highest regard."

With these words, Eldrin Chen stepped forward to the treasure pool.

Within the Frost Soul Cold Pool lay a single piece of Shadow-Retaining Divine Jade [a mystical jade capable of preserving spiritual imprints], a tome of Golden Folio Immortal Scripture, and one white Lotus Seed.

The group exchanged glances. Then, Eldrin Chen picked up the Shadow-Retaining Divine Jade and channeled his spiritual power to activate it.

As the light from the Divine Jade blossomed forth, a phantom figure materialized instantly before the assembled group. It was Path Void.

It was an ethereal immortal's grotto-abode, veiled in swirling mists of immortal energy. Within, a woman of peerless grace and beauty sat in meditation. Yet, the immortal fog shrouded all, obscuring her sublime Hugo from view.
