Chapter 798 Suppressing Demons Cauldron, Ziyin Divine Fruit

Hearing her words, Eldrin understood that the Palace Master of Drifting Snow would never relinquish this treasure.

Treasures belong to those worthy of possessing them. Even if such a near-immortal artifact were bestowed upon the Chen Family, Eldrin lacks the capability to safeguard it. After all, the Chen Family is no Ji Clan—they possess no contingency left by immortals to suppress their fortunes.

The Celestial Mountain Goddess had placed this ‘Demon-Suppressing Cauldron’ in the Artifact Refining Hall instead of the Legacy Hall, clearly having taken this very point into consideration.

Moreover, the Chen family had already secured the greatest advantage, and it was only natural they couldn't monopolize all benefits.

At this thought, Eldrin cupped his hands and said, “With your mastery reaching the pinnacle of creation, Palace Master, and this quasi-immortal artifact in hand, I fear you may even contend with a Demigod Ancestor in the future.”

"You flatter me." The Palace Master of Drifting Snow smiled faintly, then cast a glance at Lila (Person Name) and remarked, "For this young maiden to obtain the legacy of an Ancient Immortal—now that is truly astounding fortune."

Riverlord Chang (Person Name), who had been standing nearby, finally spoke upon seeing this. "Save the pleasantries for later. We should head to the treasury now, lest the Kunpeng Demon Saint (Person Name) claim all 32,000 spirit stones."

"Yes, we set out immediately."

The Palace Master of Drifting Snow nodded hastily, leading the group as they flew toward the treasury.

Before the group had flown for long, they saw the treasure vault open in the distance. A brilliantly divine light erupted from within, soaring straight into the heavens.

And the moment they laid eyes on that treasure light, everyone’s expressions instantly shifted dramatically.

The Palace Lord of Drifting Snow Palace nearly cried out, exclaiming in disbelief, "The Violet God Fruit!"

Everyone was astounded. The Violet God Fruit, an object of universal longing throughout the Violet Realm, a treasure for which over half of its Primordial Souls would sacrifice everything, had actually appeared within this treasury.

Clearly, such a rare treasure of heaven and earth had been concealed here as a tool to withstand tribulation, waiting for hundreds of thousands of years before finally emerging into the world.

Boom—

In the blink of an eye, the Kunpeng Demon Saint unleashed his full power, swiftly storing the Violet God Fruit within his sleeve before madly darting toward the outskirts of the ruins.

The Palace Master of Drifting Snow, Riverlord Chang (Person Name), and the others could no longer concern themselves with anything else, immediately giving chase in a frenzied pursuit.

Several Kunpeng clan demon patriarchs immediately flew out without a moment's delay, clearly intending to guard the Kunpeng Demon Sage.

Eldrin and the others initially gave chase for a while, but soon realized their own speed was far too slow. After pursuing briefly, they ultimately abandoned the effort, remaining within the immortal manor to continue plundering its treasures.

3 days later, when they had gathered nearly all the treasures, they saw Palace Mistress Piaoxue and Riverlord Chang flying back.

"How about it?"

Seeing the 2 return, Eldrin couldn't help but ask.

The Palace Master of Drifting Snow shook her head, speaking with a hint of helplessness, "The Kunpeng Demon Saint possesses the world's ultimate speed. Once it reverts to its true form, even the Nacreous Ice Rainbow Ark cannot keep pace."

"Alas!"

Riverlord Chang (Person Name) also heaved a sigh, his expression grave as he said, "It seems the demon clans are about to produce a Demigod Ancestor (Cultivation Realm) among their ranks."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions shifted dramatically.

The Aether Roc Demon Sage obtained the Violet God Fruit. Though attaining full immortality remained arduous, breaking through to the semi-immortal realm proved far less challenging.

The so-called Half-Immortal Realm is a state that has already transcended the pinnacle of mortal cultivation.

Such an existence had nearly transcended the limits of the mortal realm, attaining a state that was half-immortal and half-mortal.

The Grand Elder of the Drifting Snow Palace also sighed softly before speaking, "The demonic races possess formidable physical bodies. If they can cultivate a Pseudo Dao Fruit with the aid of the Violet God Fruit, they may 1 day ascend to become top-tier quasi-immortals."

"A powerful Demigod?" Eldrin was momentarily stunned, unable to resist asking, "The Demigod Ancestor cultivation realm—does it truly have distinctions of strength and weakness?"

"So it is."

The Palace Master of Drifting Snow nodded and casually began to speak of the Half-Immortal Realm.

There are but 3 paths for a cultivator to attain immortality: the Path of Dao Fruit, the Path of Cosmic Laws, and the Path of Physical Ascension.

Mastering any 1 of these 3 paths would be sufficient to summon the Heavenly Tribulation for ascension, thereby cultivating to the realm of Immortals.

Yet attaining immortality was no easy feat. Each of these 3 paths presented immense difficulties for all cultivators under heaven.

Although the Roc-Demon Sage possessed top-tier combat prowess, attempting to complete any single path in 1 breath was nearly impossible. Thus, beneath the realm of Immortals emerged the Half-Immortal realm.

All cultivators under heaven are much the same in this regard—they must first set foot in the Demigod Realm before they can advance further in their cultivation to the Immortal Realm.

The reason why Half-Immortals are deemed as such is because they have already traversed halfway through 1 of these 3 paths.

Here lie the Pseudo Dao Fruits, Demi-Immortal Physiques, and Ethereal Laws.

The so-called pseudo-Dao Fruit is the condensation of 1's accumulated destiny and cultivation base into an illusory Dao Fruit. This Dao Fruit exists in a state between reality and illusion.

A quasi-immortal of this caliber, with but 1 more step forward, could shed all falsehood to attain the true path and crystallize their Dao Fruit into full immortality.

The Half-Celestial Body, on the other hand, belongs to true cultivators who follow the path of physical refinement. Their physical forms have been tempered to the absolute pinnacle of mortal limits, with celestial radiance emanating from their very flesh, organs, and viscera.

A cultivator at this stage need only advance 1 more step, cultivating immortal radiance within their marrow and blood, to achieve the legendary Immortal Physique.

The Law of Illusion entails comprehending an illusory principle that exists between reality and fantasy, possessing a transcendent immortal power. Should 1 fully master it, they can achieve the status of an Illusory Law Immortal.

If 1 were to cultivate 2 half-immortal paths, their strength would be considered formidable even among half-immortals.

It is known that the Purple Realm's human race currently boasts only 4 Demigod Ancestors (Cultivation Realm), yet merely 2 among them have cultivated 2 strands of Transcendent Qi.

These 2 individuals were none other than the Master of the Dao Palace and the 'Tribulation-Transcending Sage Monk' from the Western Extremity's Tranquil Spirit Temple.

Among the 2, the Palace Master of the Dao Palace was the leader of the human Dao Lords, simultaneously cultivating the Void Law and the Pseudo Dao Fruit.

In the Western Extremity, it is widely rumored among mortals that the 'Calamity-Transcending Divine Monk' is an Arhat from the immortal realm reborn to face tribulations. He cultivates both a Pseudo-Dao Fruit and a Demi-Immortal Physique, standing as 1 of humanity's paramount pillars of strength.

With its innate physical gifts, the Kunpeng Demonic Saint could cultivate a pseudo-Dao Fruit with the aid of the Violet God Fruit—perhaps even forging a Half-Immortal Body in time.

Considering the formidable power of the Kunpeng Demon Saint, Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) remarked with unease, "Should this Kunpeng Demon Saint ever break through to the Half-Immortal realm, I fear the demonic tribes would inevitably expand their influence from that point onward."

"It has obtained the Violet God Fruit, I'm afraid we can no longer stop it."

Riverlord Chang (Person Name) shook his head and spoke, "Look on the bright side—it is, after all, the power of the Violet Realm. After breaking through to the Half-Immortal stage, the Violet Realm's strength has significantly increased."

"As long as he still aspires to attain immortality, he would never allow the Eldrin (Extraterrestrial Demons) to invade the Violet Realm. When the Abyssal Chasm faces peril in the future, he will certainly not stand idly by."

Palace Master Piaoxue also gave a slight nod before speaking, "This great battle has yielded us considerable gains. Let us distribute the treasures among ourselves."

"Very well."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) could not help but reveal a faint smile.

This opening of the ancient immortal's cave abode had left everyone with gains that could be described as overflowing baskets and brimming measures.

Aside from the legacy of Lila (Person Name), the immortal abode contained a total of 4 Pure Yang Spirit Treasures, 5 sixth-grade spirit herbs, and thousands of spirit herbs of varying grades and sizes.

Among those 4 spiritual treasures were the Demon-Suppressing Cauldron, the Diamond Demon-Shattering Bracelet in Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name)'s hand, an ancient lamp, and a precious seal.
