Chapter 800 Nascent Soul, 9th Tier (Cultivation Realm)

Before parting, Lila (Person Name) cast a reluctant glance at the immortal manor and couldn't help sighing, "What a pity that with my current cultivation level, I'm still unable to control this immortal manor. Otherwise, this very manor alone could fend off enemies at the Great Perfection stage of the Nascent Soul."

"This matter is not urgent."

Eldrin shook his head and said, "This immortal manor has an owner—it won't vanish. It's not too late for you to claim it after you break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

In truth, Eldrin also wished to leave some people behind to guard the place. However, this immortal manor was located deep within the arctic ice plains, bordering the demonic realm. Given their current strength, it was simply impossible for them to maintain control over it.

Rather than splitting our strength this way, it would be better to temporarily give up and wait until Lila (Person Name) breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage before refining the immortal manor.

Departing from the immortal manor, Eldrin journeyed toward the Eastern Wastelands alongside Riverlord Chang and the others.

After arriving at the Longhe Sacred Land, Riverlord Chang sought out Eldrin, his face lit with a trace of delight as he instructed, "The Violet Qi Mystic Origin Ginseng is a top-grade, sixth-tier spirit herb. Its alchemical formula is exclusively preserved within the Dao Palace Sacred Land among the Violet Dawn Faction."

"Moreover, with my current alchemy skills, the success rate of refining this pill is not high—merely 30 percent. Thus, I intend to journey to the Dao Palace Sanctuary and seek the assistance of the Dao Palace Master to refine this elixir."

"These years, you must not venture out recklessly. After I return, if you manage to break through to the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm), come seek me once at the Long River Holy Land."

Eldrin was momentarily taken aback; it seemed Riverlord Chang had something to say to him.

He simply felt that his current cultivation level was insufficient, making it unwise to discuss such matters lightly, so he temporarily set the thought aside.

Not wishing to pry further, he cupped his hands and said directly, "Rest assured, Senior, this junior will remember."

"Good."

Riverlord Chang (Person Name) nodded, a faint smile gracing his features as he retrieved the Mystic Soul Pearl (Magic Treasure) from his robe. "Together we slew the second son of the Wang family," he declared, "and obtained both the Mystic Soul Pearl and the Golden Jade Serpent Sword (Magic Treasure)."

I intend to take that Wandering Serpent Sword to exchange for a Path-Enlightenment Elixir(Pill) for our chief disciple. This item shall remain with you.

Eldrin (Person Name) froze momentarily. In this battle, Riverlord Chang (Person Name) had saved his life—a debt of gratitude that made him reluctant to accept this object.

However, seeing the resolute look in Riverlord Chang (Person Name)'s eyes, he could only take a deep breath and say, "Thank you, Elder."

"Go now."

Riverlord Chang (Person Name) shook his head with a light chuckle, watching as the group departed.

Only after the figures vanished within the teleportation array did Riverlord Chang (Person Name) take a deep breath, a trace of concern flickering in his eyes.

Eldrin and the others returned to Spirit Lake Continent, each letting out a subtle sigh of relief.

This opening of the Ancient Immortal's Cave Abode brought bountiful gains to both human and demon races alike.

The greatest gains naturally went to Lila. Given her Ice Spiritual Root aptitude, Eldrin had originally estimated that breaking through to the Soul Formation Realm would be immensely difficult for her—requiring tremendous sacrifices on his part for her to even have a chance of stepping into it.

But this time, Lila had obtained the immortal's legacy. Not only had it reforged her Icy Soul Immortal Body and supreme foundation, but she also possessed the 'Icy Soul Immortal Lotus Seed'—a celestial-grade treasure that would aid her in comprehending the laws in the future.

Such immense gains enabled Lila to forge an immortal foundation in 1 fell swoop, now no weaker than legendary celestial breeds like the Primordial Ice Silkworm or the Black Dragon.

Moreover, creatures like the True Dragon and the Kunpeng, deprived of immortal qi nourishment in the mortal realm, experienced excruciatingly slow physical growth. Their chances of attaining immortality might not even surpass Lila's.

Apart from Lila (Person Name), the Roc Demon Sage also reaped tremendous gains. After obtaining the Purple God Fruit, it was highly likely that the Roc Demon Sage would forge a Pseudo Dao Fruit and become the fifth Demigod Ancestor (Cultivation Realm) in the Violet Realm.

The Palace of Drifting Snow also reaped substantial gains. Having obtained the quasi-immortal artifact Suppressing Demonic Cauldron, its master now possessed considerable confidence in self-preservation, even if she still could not match a Demigod Ancestor (Cultivation Realm).

It must be understood that a near-immortal artifact is not to be underestimated—such a supreme treasure is utterly beyond the ability of mortals to forge.

Treasures such as the Immortal Refining Crucible and the Bell of Eastern Sovereign were each forged using supreme immortal materials as their primary components, crafted through seizing the very essence of creation from heaven and earth.

These immortal materials were all supreme treasures, yet having been nurtured in the mortal realm, they lacked the constant nourishment of immortal qi from the celestial world. Thus, they bore slight imperfections and had not achieved perfection.

Even so, such a supreme treasure still possessed world-shaking power, capable of even marginally harming Immortals and Demon Gods. For the Violet Realm, it stood as 1 of the foundational pillars guarding their realm.

As far as Eldrin (Person Name) knew, there were only 6 known quasi-immortal artifacts currently existing across the entire Violet Realm.

4 of them were held by the 4 human Demigod Ancestors (Cultivation Realm), including the Lord of the Dao Palace. Another was the Ji Clan’s Refining Immortal Furnace (Magic Treasure), and the last 1 was none other than the newly awakened Suppressing Demonic Cauldron (Magic Treasure).

Having obtained this Heaven's Mirror, the Palace Master of Drifting Snow now possessed the strength to potentially claim the title of the foremost expert beneath the Half-Immortal realm.

Unfortunately, the Violet God Fruit had ripened not long ago and was obtained by a mighty figure from the Central Ancestor Domain after extensive maneuvering.

Otherwise, her breakthrough to the Demi-Immortal realm by obtaining the Purple God Fruit would have been as certain as ironclad.

Missing this harvest of the Violet God Fruit, she would have to contend with Lin Tianqi—the foremost sword cultivator of the Violet Realm—when the fruit ripened again in 3 1000 years. That would undoubtedly force yet another agonizing decision upon the countless Demigod Ancestors of the human race.

Getting back to the main story, after Eldrin returned to the Spirit Lake Continent, he said to everyone, "Lila has obtained a piece of Frost Immortal Gold this time. I believe it would be best for you to upgrade the Frostlight Sword as soon as possible."

"Very well."

Lila nodded. This time, she had rebuilt her foundation with the Ice Soul Divine Water and, aided by 9 wisps of immortal energy, attained the Ice Soul Immortal Body.

Although this constitution could not compare to supreme physiques like the Great Yin Immortal Body, it was ultimately forged through an immortal paying a tremendous price to defy the heavens and alter her fate. It was no weaker than top-tier physiques and could even nourish a Yang-Pure Spiritual Treasure in return.

Action followed words. Without hesitation, Eldrin immediately began assisting Lila in advancing her Ice Soul Frostlight Sword.

Advancing to a Pure Yang Spirit Treasure requires consuming vast amounts of 5 Elements essence. However, the Eastern Wastelands (Location) possess scarce Profound Ice Qi, making it impossible to gather sufficient 5 Elements essence here.

However, using the treasure furnace to synthesize spiritual energy was not cost-effective. Fortunately, the Chen family had now established connections with the Drifting Snow Palace, so they simply purchased large quantities of Mysterious Ice Qi from them to fill this gap.

After such a flurry of activity spanning several decades, Lila's Ice Soul Frostlight Sword finally achieved its successful ascension.

With her innate Pure Yang Spirit Treasure in hand, Lila's power had grown immensely. Though her divine abilities and magic remained somewhat limited, wielding this treasure alone granted her 60 percent of Eldrin's combat prowess.

Thus, Eldrin simply gave the Profound Soul Pearl to Lila. This treasure resonated perfectly with Lila's innate attributes, allowing her ice-soul magical power to unleash over half of its potential.

The only flaw was that if she were to activate this treasure, she would likely only have 3 strikes before her spiritual energy was completely depleted, making it difficult to truly contend against a Primordial Spirit Dao Lord.

After distributing these treasures, Eldrin (Person Name) began secluded cultivation, striving to break through to Nascent Soul, 9th Tier (Cultivation Realm) as soon as possible.

Thus time flew by in a rush, and it soon became the year 20,800 of the Dao Calendar. It had already been 2 100 years since the Cataclysm of the Demonic Abyss.

It is done.

That day, Eldrin opened his eyes from secluded cultivation. Sensing the profound spiritual power coursing through his veins, a faint smile unconsciously graced his lips.

With his cultivation speed, he should have broken through to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage a dozen or so years ago.

However, because he had spent several decades crafting the immortal sword for Lila (Person Name), he was delayed and thus fell a step behind.

Though his current realm allowed him to multitask with ease, and his magic power could circulate and cultivate autonomously, distraction could never match the speed of secluded meditation.

Now wholly devoted to secluded cultivation, he indeed witnessed a remarkable acceleration in his magical power growth. Not long ago, he felt his spiritual energy had become perfectly harmonious and flawless, breaking through to the Great Perfection Stage of Nascent Soul in 1 continuous surge.
