Chapter 817 Purple Flame Celestial Gold

"What a pity."

Elder Li Huo sighed once more at this point and said, "This Immortal Egg is the foundation of a Mythical Immortal Species. Once it gestates and emerges into the world, its power will be no less than that of legendary beings like the Primordial Ice Silkworm."

"Now, with part of its origin source plundered by the nest usurper, it already bore some flaws, having lost its state of flawless immortal perfection."

At this point, everyone's expressions showed a hint of regret.

If this phoenix egg were to mature fully, it would likely possess the potential to attain immortality. Whether nurtured as a spiritual beast or used to refine a second primordial spirit, it would be exceptionally valuable.

This object is a body of immortal spirit; if used to refine a second primordial spirit, its efficacy would undoubtedly far surpass that of the Water Vein Ancestral Marrow Jade and the Purple Radiance Thunder Dragon Jade.

After all, this was born from the essence blood of a celestial demon and nurtured by absorbing the boundless fire veins. Naturally, its potential was limitless, and its combat prowess might very well rival that of a supreme prodigy of the same realm.

It is a pity that the Phoenix Egg now bears a flaw. Even if it can still give birth to a phoenix, its foundation remains incomplete, and it will likely struggle to attain immortality in the future.

"Regardless, though the Immortal Egg is flawed, it remains a rarity seldom seen in this world."

Eldrin spoke, then turned his gaze to Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss and said, "As agreed, the earth vein fire vein here belongs to you, while all treasures shall be ours."

"So it is."

Elder Li Huo nodded, a faint smile gracing his lips.

Although he had offended the Phoenix Demon Ancestor this time, seizing this Grade-6 earth vein and fire vein was truly a massive gain.

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) also smiled faintly. His foundation was rooted in the Eastern Wastelands (Location), so this Fiery Flame Island held little practical value for him.

Moreover, once they occupied this island, they would inevitably become a thorn in the eye of the Fire Phoenix Ancestor. Unless they could dispatch 1 or 2 Nascent Soul-level combat forces to garrison it year-round, they would most likely be unable to hold it.

Obtaining these treasures was more than enough for Eldrin (Person Name).

At this thought, Eldrin gazed upon the numerous treasures before him. Setting aside those fifth-order spirit materials for now—

The most precious among them were the Phoenix Egg, the Nirvana Immortal Lotus, the Fire Vein Ancestral Marrow Jade, and that Violet Flame Celestial Gold.

The value of the phoenix egg was self-evident, while the Nirvana Immortal Lotus—a supreme treasure born alongside the phoenix—had only reached the lower tier of the sixth rank. Yet, it truly stood as a rare immortal root.

Although this object would find it difficult to achieve perfection within the mortal realm, if allowed to mature, it would likely become a treasure approaching immortal-grade.

However, this treasure has undergone life-bound cultivation with the phoenix egg, making it difficult for ordinary individuals to completely refine it.

However, the Fire Vein Ancestral Marrow Jade had only gestated halfway thus far, and it would likely take another 1 1000 5 100 years to fully take form.

That piece of Purpleflame Skygold was also an incomparably precious treasure. Speaking of Purpleflame Skygold, 1 must mention the supreme Pure Yang spirit treasure, the Purpleflame Heart Lamp, recently obtained by Riverlord Chang (Person Name).

The Violet Flame Heart Lamp was forged using 'Violet Flame Celestial Gold' as its primary material, capable of releasing the 'Mystic Capital Violet Flame'.

This 'Profound Capital Purple Flame' possessed an extraordinary origin. Legend held it was originally the innate true flame of the 'Profound Capital Emperor' from the immortal realm.

That Eldrin possessed talent so stunning it could astonish immortals. He deduced the embryonic form of the Great Dao from his Lifebound True Flame at the Law Dominion realm, integrating it into the Great Dao itself. Only then could such a true flame take shape within him.

This Mysterious Capital Violet Flame is exceptionally profound. Wielding it allows 1 to transcend the inner demon tribulation, incinerate all evil spirits across the heavens, and it possesses the unique ability to neutralize all miasmas and poisons.

Before our eyes, this Violet Flame Celestial Gold was born from the principles of the "Mystic Capital Violet Flame" between heaven and earth. Its potential was sufficient to nurture it to at least the sixth-rank upper grade, with even a sliver of possibility to ascend into a peerless immortal gold.

Perhaps it was for this very reason that the Phoenix Demon Ancestor could not bear to retrieve this treasure, allowing it to continue nurturing within the earth veins. Little did they expect it would ultimately fall into the hands of Eldrin.

"If the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) is refined with this Violet Flame Celestial Gold, it will gain the ability to suppress inner demons and dispel all miasma afflictions."

Eldrin accepted the Violet Flame Celestial Gold, a flicker of delight unconsciously crossing his face.

Nurtured by this primeval fire vein, the Violet Flame Celestial Gold had the potential to ascend to upper sixth-grade in time. However, this process would require over 10 1000 years—a wait Eldrin could scarcely endure.

He stored away the Violet Flame Heavenly Gold, then plucked both the Phoenix Egg and the Nirvana Immortal Lotus, intending to bring them back to the Inferno Fire Sea to continue their gestation. Only then did he speak with Elder Li Huo:

"Brother Lihuo, it seems this Fire Vein Ancestral Marrow Jade will require over a 1000 more years of nurturing to reach perfection."

"To prevent the gestation process from falling short of success, I had no choice but to leave it here until its incubation is complete before retrieving it."

Elder Flame Daoist nodded and said with a light laugh, "Brother Returning Abyss, rest assured. With me guarding this Blazing Flame Island, the Primordial Fire Vein Spirit Jade will be absolutely secure."

"Then I can rest easy."

Eldrin smiled faintly before speaking, "I shall arrange a formation to enhance the defensive capabilities of your Fiery Abyss Island, Dao-brother."

"Then I'll be in your debt..."

With Eldrin personally overseeing the formation arrangement, it took the group over 3 months to finally complete the grand protective array above the Flaming Isle.

Once the formation was fully deployed, Eldrin gazed upon it with a smile and remarked, "This formation uses the Li Fire Treasure Gourd as its core, channeling the primordial fire essence and boundless spiritual energy to unleash the Heaven-Scorching Li Fire."

"If you personally activate it, Fellow Daoist, even a Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm) cultivator would suffer greatly if they dared force their way through."

"Indeed, Brother Guixu, your mastery of formations is truly profound."

Elder Li Huo could not help but let his eyes gleam with excitement. This formation amplified the power of the Li Fire Treasure Gourd through boundless fire elemental energy, multiplying its strength severalfold and unleashing the might of the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage.

Moreover, this Li Fire Treasure Gourd (Magic Treasure) was a lower-grade sixth-tier artifact. Once Li Fire Daoist upgraded it to a middle-grade sixth-tier treasure in the coming years, the power of the formation would surge dramatically.

Chapter 1 The chill moonlight pierced through the dense forest canopy, illuminating the solitary figure kneeling on the moss-covered ground. Lin Xuan's fingers trembled as they traced the ancient characters carved into the weathered stone tablet—"Tomb of the Fallen Immortal." 10 years. It had been 10 years since his spiritual roots were severed, 10 years of enduring scorn as the "Waste Young Master of the Lin Clan." A faint, azure glow suddenly emanated from the jade pendant at his chest, its warmth seeping into his meridians like a gentle spring breeze. Voices, ancient and resonant, whispered directly into his consciousness: "Child of Fate, the Heavenly Dao has chosen you to inherit the legacy of the Chaos Genesis Art." Before Lin Xuan could process this, a sharp, mocking laugh cut through the night. "Well, if it isn't the Lin Clan's disgrace, visiting his dead mother's grave again?" Zhao Feng (Person Name) emerged from the shadows, flanked by 2 lackeys, a cruel smirk twisting his features. "Hand over that jade pendant, and I might just let you keep crawling around like the insect you are." Lin Xuan's knuckles turned white, his nails digging into his palms. But as rage surged within him, the jade pendant's glow intensified, and a fragment of the Chaos Genesis Art's first layer imprinted itself upon his mind. Spiritual energy, foreign yet familiar, began to circulate through his supposedly destroyed meridians. "Still pretending to be tough?" Zhao Feng sneered, gesturing to his men. "Break his legs." As the 2 thugs lunged forward, Lin Xuan's body moved on instinct. A simple, almost crude palm strike shot out, yet it carried an imperceptible force that seemed to distort the very air around it. *Bang!* The 2 men were sent flying backward as if struck by a mountain, crashing into ancient trees and slumping to the ground unconscious. Zhao Feng's smirk vanished, replaced by stunned disbelief. "Impossible! Your dantian was shattered! You... you're just trash!" Lin Xuan looked at his own palm, then back at Zhao Feng, a cold gleam finally igniting in his long-dull eyes. "It seems the heavens aren't finished with me just yet." A crisp *crack* echoed as the ancestral jade pendant at Zhao Feng's waist suddenly shattered into dust. Stumbling backward in terror, Zhao Feng pointed a trembling finger at Lin Xuan. "Monster! You... you're a monster!" He turned and fled desperately into the darkness of the forest. Alone once more, Lin Xuan closed his eyes, feeling the spiritual energy coursing through his veins like a resurrected dragon. He looked up at the countless stars scattered across the night sky, his voice a low whisper filled with newfound determination. "The wastes of the cultivation world... I, Lin Xuan, have returned."

Even a Late Stage Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm) powerhouse—the mightiest existence in this realm—would not dare rashly force their way onto this island when the time comes, lest they suffer a devastating setback.

Such a formidable Mountain Guarding Array filled Daoist Lihuo with immense confidence, giving him substantial assurance in establishing a firm foothold in the South Sea.

At this thought, Daoist Li Fire said with immense gratitude, "Brother Gui Xu, you not only helped me seize this cultivation site but also assisted in setting up the formation arrays. I truly feel unworthy of such generosity."

"There's no need for that."

Eldrin shook his head and said with a light laugh, "The path of immortality stretches endlessly. Having been companions for countless years, it is only natural that we support 1 another."

"1 day, I may also have need of your assistance. I hope you won't turn me away when that time comes, Brother Li Fire."

Hearing this, Elder Li Huo’s expression turned solemn, and he immediately cupped his hands in salute. “Brother Gui Xu, rest assured. Should you ever require assistance in the future, I will brave fire and flood to lend you my aid.”

"Then I can rest easy."

Once the formation was set up, Eldrin did not depart immediately. Instead, harnessing the geothermal flames of the Fiery Island, he began to smelt the Purple Blaze Celestial Gold.

After all, there was no sixth-order ancestral fire vein within the Eastern Wastelands (Location). Relying solely on the quasi-sixth-grade earthfire energy from the Flaming Prison Sea, refining this Pure Sun Treasure Gold would require years of effort—truly a time-consuming and laborious process.
