Chapter 862 : The Gathering of Spiritual Treasures

Having thought this far, Frost Drake Demon Progenitor also spoke up, which was a rare occurrence: "Holding fast to the Guyuan Mountain Range, swiftly digesting the gains from our breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator, representing a major advancement] before dealing with the Demonic Monsters, this is indeed the optimal choice."

"Indeed it is."

Haoyuan the Dao Lord also gave a slight nod of agreement, then inquired further: "Having recently broken through to the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator, representing a major advancement], you must still lack certain treasures. Do you require our assistance?"

"We do have requests."

Eldrin Chen nodded in acknowledgment and spoke: "Now that my Chen Clan has several newly advanced Primordial Spirit [cultivators who have reached the spiritual core realm], our clan's reserves of Five Elements Essence [a refined spiritual essence containing the power of the five elements] are insufficient. We wish to purchase more from all of you."

"That matter is easily handled." Haoyuan the Dao Lord nodded with a smile. "My Long River Sacred Land holds a considerable stock of Five Elements Essence [a refined spiritual essence containing the power of the five elements]. The Star Palace and the Lin Clan also hoard such materials."

"If our three factions pool our resources, it will be more than ample for your advancement needs."

Seeing that the Five Elements Essence [a refined spiritual essence containing the power of the five elements] needed for advancing their Spiritual Treasure [powerful enchanted artifacts] had found a source, Eldrin Chen felt a slight wave of relief.

He then remembered the several Lifebound Spiritual Treasure [personal artifacts bonded to a cultivator's soul] among their group that had yet to be advanced, and spoke directly once more.

"Esteemed friends, we still lack a few Spiritual Object [rare materials imbued with spiritual energy] required to advance some Spiritual Treasure [powerful enchanted artifacts]. I wonder if any of you have such items in reserve." Immerse yourself in the complete world at audio novel.com.

"Oh?"

Dorian, the Sage Lord's eyes flickered slightly, and he inquired, "What is lacking? Speak, and let us hear."

Eldrin Chen glanced around and spoke, "We lack one stalk of the Pure Yang Treasure Lotus [a supreme lotus that embodies the essence of pure Yang energy], one piece of fire-attribute Pure Yang Treasure Gold [a rare metal imbued with the purest Yang essence], and two Pure Yang Spiritual Object [spiritual objects of the highest purity, saturated with Yang energy] of the Earth Attribute [an elemental affinity aligned with the earth, representing stability and endurance]."

Upon hearing this, the gathered assembly grasped the general nature of the items Eldrin Chen sought.

Currently, the several Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core and highest essence of a cultivator, marking a profound stage of power] cultivators within the Chen Clan already possessed Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure [magical treasures of the highest grade, forged from pure Yang energy] in their hands.

Eldrin Chen's Lifebound Spiritual Treasure [a magical treasure bound to a cultivator's life force and soul, growing in power with them], the 'Heavenly River Flood Water Sword' and the 'Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss', had both already ascended to the Sixth Rank [the sixth tier of power for magical treasures, a level of immense might].

Only three treasures remained: the Earth-Fortress Sovereign Bell, the Primordial Green Lotus Platform, and the Yin-Yang Void Realm.

Among these three, the 'Primordial Green Lotus Platform' merely required waiting for the Creation Azure Jade Lotus [a legendary lotus of creation and profound spiritual power] within the Azure Lotus Continent to advance in grade; then, its Lotus Platform [the foundational platform of a lotus, often a potent spiritual material] could be harvested to elevate the treasure to the realm of a Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure.

The 'Yin-Yang Void Realm' required Yin-Yang Magnetic Treasure Metal [a rare metal possessing both Yin and Yang magnetic properties] and a Void Gem [a gemstone containing the essence of void and spatial power] as its primary materials. The Magnetic Treasure Gold had long since matured and was carefully preserved by Eldrin Chen.

However, a Sixth Rank Void Gemstone was exceedingly rare; such an item could not be nurtured within the Purple Realm [a vast and profound cultivation realm] itself and almost always fell from the Extraterrestrial Starry Sky [the boundless cosmos beyond the known realms].

Fortunately, within the Ancient Immortal Mansion located Beneath the Heavenly Mountain, there existed the exceedingly precious Sixth Rank Void Gemstone.

Having received the legacy of the Ancient Immortal Heavenly Mountain Goddess, Lila was able to control the Immortal Mansion after her breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] realm, allowing her to retrieve the Void Gem [a gemstone containing the power of spatial void] that anchored its formation.

Thus, what he still lacked were solely the materials needed to advance the Earth-Fortress Sovereign Bell, this particular Spiritual Treasure [a powerful enchanted artifact].

Aside from Eldrin Chen, Lila, possessing an Ice Spiritual Root [an innate affinity for ice-elemental cultivation], already had the Frost Soul Chilling Radiance Sword in hand and was therefore not in urgent need of an Ice Attribute Pure Yang Spiritual Object [a spiritual object of pure yang energy].

Verdant Consort, with her Three Spiritual Roots [possession of three elemental cultivation affinities], currently wielded the Azure Dragon Stirring the Sea Sword and urgently required a Pure Yang Treasure Lotus to refine her Flood Water Azure Lotus Platform. The Dao Patterns [mystical patterns embodying cosmic principles] for her third Spiritual Treasure had not yet been deduced to the Pure Yang Realm [a high cultivation state of pure yang energy], so it was not a pressing matter.

Lyra Jiang possessed an External Incarnation Body [a separate physical avatar] refined with Water Origin Ancestral Marrow Jade, a Lifebound Immortal Sword forged from Great Luo Immortal Metal, and a Merit Golden Lotus Platform formed from the Merit Golden Lotus.

What she lacked were the fire-attribute Treasure Metal [a precious spiritual metal] of the Sixth Rank needed to refine the Six Realms and Eight Desolations Cauldron, and the Pure Yang Kun Earth Treasure required to advance the Earth-Fortress Earth Origin Disk.

Thus, one Pure Yang Treasure Lotus, one fire-attribute Pure Yang Treasure Gold, and two Earth Attribute Pure Yang Spiritual Object were the items the group urgently needed.

As for Thalion Chen, the Old Granduncle's innate talent and brilliance could not compare to the others. Furthermore, he was occupied with refining the Eight Trigrams Treasure Formation and had no energy to spare for cultivating other Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure.

Now, the Old Patriarch intended to abandon the Golden Radiance Blazing Fire Sword and other such Spiritual Treasure, focusing all his efforts and experience on comprehending the Formation [mystical array] arts.

With the power of the Eight Trigrams Treasure Formation [a powerful defensive and offensive formation based on the eight trigrams], once he fully mastered it, he could roam the world unhindered, with no need to refine any other Spiritual Treasure [an enchanted artifact used by cultivators].

Returning to the matter at hand, after understanding what everyone lacked, the assembled Nascent Soul Dao Lord [a cultivator who has reached the Nascent Soul realm and is addressed as a Dao Lord] all had a subtle shift in their brows.

After a moment of contemplation, Haoyuan the Daoist spoke: "Our Long River Sacred Land [the Sacred Land of the Long River] does possess a treasured Earth Attribute [an elemental affinity for earth] Spiritual Object [a rare object imbued with profound spiritual energy]. I shall exchange it with you."

With those words, he took out a Treasure Box [an ornate container for storing precious items] and handed it to Eldrin Chen.

Upon opening it, Eldrin Chen's pupils contracted slightly with recognition. Inside the Treasure Box lay a simple, ancient stone shaped like a mystical turtle.

This stone was internally engraved with profound and mysterious Dao Patterns [patterns that embody the principles of the Dao, the fundamental laws of existence], which seemed to fade into the void, subtly harmonizing with heaven and earth. Your portal to cultivation novels: audi0-n0vel.c0m.

Gazing at this Black Tortoise Inscription Stone, Haoyuan the Daoist said with a smile, "This item is called the 'Black Tortoise Inscription Stone' [a mystical stone inscribed with the patterns of the Black Tortoise, a celestial creature]. It is a rare treasure I obtained by chance and may be of use to you."

This Black Tortoise Inscription Stone, with its Innately Embedded Dao Runes [naturally formed runes containing Dao principles], was not only a supreme Earth Attribute treasure of the Pure Yang Grade [the Pure Yang grade, a high level of spiritual purity and power], but also a first-rate treasure for formation inscriptions. Its value ranked high even among lower-grade Pure Yang Spiritual Object [spiritual objects of the Pure Yang grade].

With this in mind, Eldrin Chen brought out several treasures.

During the recent great battle, Eldrin Chen had successively slain Blood Phoenix Demon Progenitor, Profound Sun Dao Lord, and also that Rising Sun Dao Lord [a Dao Lord bearing the title 'Rising Sun']. The spoils he had seized were astonishingly abundant.

These Demonic Tribe [a race of beings born from chaos and corruption] and orthodox Dao Lord [a supreme title for a master of the Dao] who have fallen into demonic ways are unlike ordinary Demonic Cultivator [practitioners who use sinister methods to cultivate]. They each possess supreme treasures of the Pure Yang Grade [the highest tier of spiritual treasures, imbued with pure yang energy].

The Blood Phoenix Demon Progenitor [an ancient demon progenitor of the blood phoenix lineage] has trodden the Dao for more than eight thousand years. Though his cultivation is not considered profoundly deep, he holds two supreme treasures in his possession: the Fire Phoenix Fan and the Crimson Flame Golden Wheel.

Back at Southern Sea Earth Flame Island, Eldrin Chen had already experienced the power of these two treasures firsthand.

That Fire Phoenix Fan is a lower-grade Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure [a spiritual treasure of the pure yang tier]. Forged from the true feathers of a phoenix, it can unleash Phoenix True Fire [the primordial flames of a phoenix] to incinerate all foes. Its might is no less than that of Separated Flame Daoist's Li Fire Treasure Gourd.

The Crimson Flame Golden Wheel and the Crimson Flame Heavenly Fire Wheel from Flaming Prison Sea of Fire seem to share a similar, ingenious design—both can release Crimson Flame Qi [a crimson flame energy] and Celestial Fire [heavenly flames] to burn powerful enemies. Yet, the difference between them is vast.

That Crimson Flame Heavenly Fire Wheel emphasizes flame-based Divine Ability [supernatural powers], capable of unleashing Pure Yang Divine Ability [divine abilities of pure yang grade] to incinerate foes. The Crimson Flame Golden Wheel, however, is akin to a Pure Yang Immortal Sword, designed to cleave through powerful enemies in a single, devastating strike.

Profound Sun Dao Lord and Rising Sun Dao Lord need no further mention. Their treasures—the Profound Sun Divine Pearl, the Rising Sun Divine Furnace, and the Rising Sun Flowing Fire Sword—have all fallen into the hands of Eldrin Chen.

Both the Rising Sun Divine Furnace and the Rising Sun Flowing Fire Sword are Middle-Grade Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure. Particularly, that Rising Sun Divine Furnace is also a Pure Yang Grade Alchemy Furnace [a furnace used for refining pills and elixirs], a treasure Eldrin Chen is loath to part with for any trade.

Thus, Eldrin Chen produced the Rising Sun Flowing Fire Sword, the Profound Sun Divine Pearl, the Crimson Flame Golden Wheel, and also brought out that Fire Phoenix Fan, saying, "Regarding these treasures, what might you require?"

Haoyuan the Dao Lord cast a reluctant glance at the Rising Sun Flowing Fire Sword, understanding in his heart that a single Black Tortoise Inscription Stone [a mystical stone inscribed with black tortoise patterns] could not secure such an item. He could only settle for the next best choice and selected the Fire Phoenix Fan.

He stroked the Fire Phoenix Fan [an enchanted fan capable of summoning the flames of a phoenix], then said with a smile, "The Phoenix True Fire [the sacred, purifying flames of a phoenix] released by this treasure is particularly effective against Demonic Cultivator [practitioners who use malevolent and corrupting energies for power]. It might even pose a threat to mid-to-late stage Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator, representing a high level of power] Heaven-Demon [powerful demons from the celestial realms]. I shall accept it with gratitude."

Watching Haoyuan the Dao Lord acquire the Fire Phoenix Fan, a subtle gleam flickered in the eyes of Dorian Ji.

He then produced a dark-golden treasure from his sleeve and declared with a smile, "This is Purple Fire Gold-Copper [a rare metal imbued with the dual essences of fire and metal], a treasure of the Metal-Fire Dual Attribute [a rare innate affinity for both metal and fire elements]."

As Dorian, the Sage Lord spoke, preparing to exchange it for the Crimson Flame Golden Wheel [a golden wheel artifact wreathed in crimson fire], he saw the Frost Drake Demon Progenitor [an ancient progenitor of frost-wyvern demons] shake its head. Continue reading this story at audio - novel . com.
