Chapter 882 Seeking the Pure Yang Fire Treasure
With this thought in mind, Eldrin emerged from his secluded cultivation chamber.
At this moment, Qing Ji and the others had been waiting for a long time. Seeing him emerge from seclusion, they asked with delight, "How do you feel after guiding your Earth Soul this time?"
"Not bad at all."
Eldrin nodded slightly and continued, "Your spiritual power has accumulated sufficiently. It is time for you to attempt to guide your Terrestrial Soul."
"Very well."
With Eldrin (Person Name) personally safeguarding the process, the group's breakthrough in summoning their terrestrial souls proceeded smoothly. In just over half a month, they successively achieved their breakthroughs.
After all 3 had successfully summoned their Earthly Souls, the strength of the group had significantly increased. Though they still could not rival true Primordial Spirit Dao Lords, each now possessed 70 to 80 percent of the combat power of a newly-advanced Primordial Spirit cultivator.
Chapter 1 After Eldrin and the others emerged from seclusion, he remarked candidly, "This period of secluded cultivation has yielded significant gains for all of us."
"Yet now, with the Cataclysm of the Demonic Abyss approaching, I have a vague premonition that this tribulation may be far more perilous than it appears. We must make extensive preparations before the Demonic Abyss descends."
Lyra's eyes flickered slightly as she inquired, "What do you mean?"
Eldrin (Person Name) nodded and spoke, "I intend to journey to the Southern Peaks cultivation realm to see if I can acquire a sixth-tier fire-attuned artifact of pure yang essence."
The 3 women all showed looks of comprehension, clearly understanding why Eldrin sought to acquire a sixth-rank pure yang treasure.
Now that Eldrin had broken through to the Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm, it was unlikely he could attempt to reach the Primordial Spirit realm in a short time.
At his current level, unless he broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, achieving another leap in combat prowess would be no easy feat.
For Eldrin, the best approach was to comprehend the secret forces of the 5 Elements.
For once he attained full comprehension of the final arcane force, Eldrin's last innate great supernatural power would be perfected, and his strength would undoubtedly undergo a tremendous enhancement.
However, comprehending the final secret force proved exceedingly difficult. Even Eldrin dared not guarantee he could fully grasp it before the Abyssal Cataclysm descended.
Beyond comprehending the 5 arcane forces, the only path to significantly enhance his strength was to advance his Natal Spirit Treasure.
Among Eldrin's 5 innate spiritual treasures, the Loam-Sovereign Bell possessed unparalleled defense, the Yin-Yang Void Mirror held unfathomable mysteries, while the Primordial Azure Lotus Throne served as the very source of his power, enabling him to challenge opponents far beyond his cultivation realm.
But what truly qualified as his trump card was none other than the Celestial Severance Twin Blades—the weapons he wielded most frequently.
Within Eldrin's Celestial Departure Twin Swords, the Heaven Sword could transform into a sweeping celestial river, its momentum vast and unstoppable.
The Li Sword radiated the blazing might of Li Fire, potent enough to incinerate all demons across the 8 directions, standing as 1 of the world's most domineering immortal blades.
It can be said that throughout his journey to this day, these 2 natal immortal swords had been 1 of Eldrin's primary means of confronting enemies, and when united as twin blades, they became his ultimate trump card.
Now that the Heavenly Sword had ascended to the Pure Yang realm, the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) remained stagnant at the upper fifth grade. Though its power still ranked among the finest of spiritual treasures, for Eldrin (Person Name) it had become somewhat redundant.
Once the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) ascends to the ranks of Pure Yang Immortal Swords, unleashing the peerless divine might of the Heavenly Union's combined power, Eldrin's (Person Name) strength would undoubtedly be vastly enhanced.
By that time, Eldrin would truly possess a lethal trump card in his hands, granting him at least the power to single-handedly slay a Primordial Spirit Dao Lord.
"To advance the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure), 1 would require a pure-yang grade fire-attributed spiritual object."
Eldrin (Person Name) let out a soft sigh, shaking his head with a hint of helplessness as he said.
Within the Eastern Wastelands (Location), there existed no sixth-order fire-attribute ancestral ley lines, thus making it impossible to nurture sixth-order fire-attribute treasures.
Although the Chen Clan's Purgatory Flame Sea Earth Vein had been nurtured for many years, advancing it to the sixth rank would still require at least several centuries of effort. With the cataclysm of the Demon Abyss now imminent, Eldrin naturally couldn't afford to wait that long.
Fortunately, the Chen Clan now possessed quite a few treasures. In recent years, they had acquired several Yang-natured treasures such as the 9 Heavens Star Core Fragment, the Lesser Yin Divine Water, and a sixth-tier Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus.
Thus, Eldrin began to contemplate, intending to journey to the Southern Ridge Cultivation Realm where multiple sixth-order fire veins converged, hoping to exchange for a sixth-order fire-attribute treasure.
The 3 naturally supported Eldrin's (Person Name) proposal.
Lila (Person Name) pondered for a moment before speaking, "Aside from sixth-order spiritual objects, the family also possesses several sixth-order spiritual treasures."
"The Suppressing Void Vase is an artifact of the Immortal Alliance, and Senior Green Abyss Sword (Magic Treasure) has shown us great kindness. Why not bring my Mystic Soul Pearl along as well? This would increase our chances of securing a sixth-tier spiritual material."
"No need, no need." Eldrin shook his head, then said with a smile, "Throughout the entire Southern Ridge cultivation world, there isn't a single Nascent Soul Dao Lord possessing an Ice Spiritual Root. What use would this item be even if taken?"
"I have fragments of the 9 Heavens Star Core, the Lesser Yin Divine Water, and this Snow Lotus from the Celestial Mountains. If I visit a few more shops, I’m bound to find a pure Yang fire-attribute treasure."
"This..." Lila hesitated briefly, then nodded slightly and said, "Very well."
Having made their decision, the 4 of them departed the Myriad Ruins Continent (Location) the very next day, heading toward the Southern Ridge Cultivation Realm (Location).
They utilized the teleportation array and arrived at the Dao Palace Sacred Land without delay. There, they paid their respects to the sacred grounds, and were received by none other than Mingyuan Daoren (Cultivator) of the Dao Palace Sacred Land.
After years apart, Daoist Mingyuan's cultivation had advanced with astonishing speed, having now broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
His unstable aura clearly indicated he had just recently broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, and had deliberately come to receive them upon seeing their arrival.
Elder Mingyuan's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm was, in truth, well within Eldrin's expectations.
This individual was a Great Luo Nascent Soul, the very seedling of an immortal that the Dao Palace Sacred Land had nurtured with all its resources. As early as 5 or 6 100 years ago, his cultivation had already reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. Thus, his recent breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation realm came as no surprise.
That being said, Eldrin still spoke with exceptional courtesy: "It has only been a few 100 years, yet Senior Mingyuan has already surpassed us all in attaining the Nascent Soul realm. Truly, this makes us feel nothing but shame."
"You flatter me."
Daoist Mingyuan smiled faintly and said, "Given your esteemed status, you truly flatter this unworthy brother. Let us rather interact as peers."
"You flatter me, Brother Mingyuan."
Eldrin spoke with an air of detachment, tacitly agreeing with Daoist Mingyuan's perspective.
Given his current status as the leader of the 3 Veins Immortal Alliance, if he were to truly address Daoist Mingyuan as "senior," even Maris the Sea Steader and the Pavilion Master of Feiyu Pavilion would find it difficult to remain seated.
A cup of tea.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Daoist Mingyuan invited the group into a pavilion. He personally served Eldrin (Person Name) a sip of tea before casually inquiring, "Fellow Daoist, your recent breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm appears to have occurred just a short while ago."
"Indeed."
Elder Mingyuan nodded, then said with a hint of chagrin, "To my shame, some years ago when the Patriarch opened his alchemical cauldron to refine a batch of Soul-Refining Elixirs, I consumed 1 as a precaution against potential failure during my breakthrough."
At this point, Daoist Mingyuan added, "Strangely enough, the Alchemy Master succeeded in refining 7 pills from that batch, and 3 have already been consumed. All 3 who took the treasured pills managed to achieve breakthroughs."
"Are you certain of this?"
Eldrin (Person Name) was inwardly startled and asked with some surprise, "Might I ask which 3 individuals?"
