Chapter 862 The Curtain Falls, Various Gains

At this thought, the Ice Python Demonic Ancestor rarely spoke up, "Holding our position in the Guyan Mountains and swiftly consolidating the gains from our breakthrough into the Nascent Soul stage before dealing with the demons—this is indeed the optimal course of action."

"Indeed, that is the case."

Haoyuan Daojun also gave a slight nod before inquiring further, "Having recently broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, you must still lack certain treasures. Do you require assistance from us?"

"I have a request to make."

Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod and spoke, "Our Chen Clan has recently welcomed several new Golden Core experts. However, the clan's reserves of 5 Elements Essence remain insufficient. We wish to procure more from all of you."

"This matter is easily handled." Daoist Haoyuan nodded, then said with a smile, "Our Eternal River Sacred Land still possesses a considerable amount of 5 Elements Essence. Both the Starry Sky Palace and the Lin Family also stockpile such resources."

"If the 3 of us pool our resources, it will be more than sufficient for your advancement."

Seeing that the 5 Elements essence required for advancing to a spirit treasure had found its source, Eldrin (Person Name) let out a slight sigh of relief.

He then recalled that everyone still had a few Natal Spirit Treasures that had yet to advance, so he added bluntly.

"Esteemed colleagues, we are still short a few spiritual materials required for advancing our spirit treasures. I wonder if any of you might have them in your inventories."

"Oh?"

Dorian’s eyes flickered slightly as he inquired, “What is it that you lack? Speak, and let us hear.”

Eldrin glanced briefly and stated, "We're short 1 Pure Yang Treasure Lotus, 1 fire-attributed Pure Yang Auric Gold, and 2 earth-attributed Pure Yang Spiritual Entities."

Upon hearing this, the assembly largely grasped what Eldrin sought.

Now, the several Soul Formation Elders of the Chen Clan each wielded a Pure Yang Spirit Treasure in their hands.

Eldrin's innate spiritual treasures, the 'Heavenly River Ren Water Sword' and the 'Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure)', had both advanced to the Sixth Order.

Only 3 treasures remained: the Earth-Sovereign Bell of the Fifth Element (Magic Treasure), the Primordial Azure Lotus Throne (Divine Artifact), and the Yin-Yang Void Mirror (Cosmic Relic).

Among the 3 treasures, the Primordial Azure Lotus Throne only required waiting for the Karma Jade Lotus of Qinglian Province to advance, after which the lotus platform could be harvested to elevate it to the realm of a Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure.

The 'Yin Yang Void Mirror' required Yin Yang Magnetite Treasure Ore and Void Gem (Spiritual Object) as primary materials. The magnetite treasure ore had long matured and was meticulously preserved by Eldrin (Person Name).

Sixth-level Void Gems (Spiritual Object) were exceptionally rare, as the Purple Realm itself could not give birth to them. Almost all had fallen from the extraterrestrial starry skies.

Fortunately, deep beneath the Tianshan Mountains, within the ancient immortal manor, there lay an invaluable sixth-tier Void Gem (Spiritual Object).

After inheriting the legacy of the Ancient Celestial Mountain Goddess, Lila (Person Name) had broken through to the Nascent Soul realm and gained control over the celestial abode. She proceeded to retrieve the Void Gem (Spiritual Object) that served as the formation's anchor.

Thus, all that remained for him now were the materials needed to advance the Earthen Sovereign Bell (Magic Treasure).

Apart from Eldrin, Lila, who possessed an Ice Spiritual Root, already wielded the Frostgleam Sword of Frozen Souls and thus had no urgent need for ice-attributed pure yang spiritual treasures.

Qing Ji possessed a triple spiritual root. Now that she wielded the Azure Dragon Sea-Quelling Sword, she urgently needed a Pure Yang Treasure Lotus to refine her Numinous Treasure—the Azure Lotus Throne of Ren Water. As for the third spiritual artifact, its Dao patterns had yet to be fully deduced to the Pure Yang realm, so there was no immediate rush.

Lyra now possessed an aquatic avatar forged from Primordial Water Marrow Jade, a natal immortal sword crafted from Great Luo Immortal Gold, and a Golden Merit Lotus Throne refined from the Karmic Merit Golden Lotus.

What she lacked was the sixth-grade fire-attributed precious metal required to refine the Hexahedral Cauldron of All Realms, and the pure Yang Kun-earth treasure needed to upgrade her own Ji Earth Primordial Disk of Kun.

Thus, a single Pure Yang Lotus, 1 Fire-attributed Pure Yang Gold, and 2 Earth-attributed Pure Yang Spiritual Objects were precisely what the group urgently needed.

As for Chen Changxuan, the old granduncle’s innate talent and aptitude could not compare to the others. Moreover, he was fully occupied with refining the 8 Trigrams Treasure Formation and had no energy to spare for refining other pure yang spirit treasures.

The old clan leader was now prepared to abandon the Golden Flame Sword and other spiritual treasures, channeling all his energy into comprehending the intricacies of formation arrays.

With the power of that 8 Trigrams Treasure Formation, once he fully mastered it, he could roam the world unchallenged, with no need to refine any other spiritual treasures.

To return to our story, once they understood what everyone was lacking, the seated Nascent Soul Dao Lords all subtly furrowed their brows.

Daoist Haoyuan pondered briefly before speaking, "Our Long River Holy Land happens to possess a treasured earth-attributed spiritual object. We shall exchange it with you."

As his words faded, he produced a treasure case and handed it to Eldrin.

Eldrin opened the case, and his pupils subtly brightened. Within the treasure box lay an archaic mystical stone shaped like a black tortoise.

Within this stone lay a series of profound Dao patterns, seemingly fading into the void as if subtly harmonizing with heaven and earth.

Observing the Black Tortoise Inscription Stone, Daoist Haoyuan said with a smile, "This object is called the 'Black Tortoise Inscription Stone (Treasure),' a rare treasure I acquired by chance. It may prove useful to you."

This Profound Turtle Inscription Stone innately contains natural Dao patterns within. Not only is it a supreme treasure of the earth element at the Pure Yang level, but it also ranks among the finest materials for crafting formation patterns. Its value stands relatively high even among lower-grade Pure Yang spiritual objects.

At this thought, Eldrin took out several treasures.

In this great battle, Eldrin successively slew the Blood Phoenix Demon Ancestor, the Profound Sun Dao Lord, and the Rising Sun Dao Lord, reaping an astonishingly bountiful harvest.

Unlike demonic cultivators, these fallen yaomo and righteous Dao Lords possessed Pure Yang-level treasures in their hands.

That Blood Phoenix Demon Ancestor had attained the Dao for over 8,000 years. Though his cultivation base was not particularly profound, he possessed 2 supreme treasures: the Fire Phoenix Fan and the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Golden Wheel.

Back on the Southern Sea's Flaming Isle, Eldrin had already witnessed the might of these 2 supreme treasures.

That Fire Phoenix Fan was a low-grade Pure Yang Spirit Treasure. Forged from the feathers of a true phoenix, this artifact could unleash the True Phoenix Flame to incinerate all foes, its might no less formidable than the Li Fire Treasure Gourd (Magic Treasure) of Daoist Li Fire.

The Golden Wheel and the Blazing Prison Inferno's Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Heavenly Fire Wheel appeared to share remarkable similarities—both capable of unleashing celestial flames to incinerate formidable foes. Yet their distinctions were equally profound.

The Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Heavenly Fire Wheel emphasizes flame-based supernatural powers, capable of unleashing pure yang abilities to incinerate formidable foes, while the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Golden Wheel resembles a pure yang immortal sword, able to cleave through powerful adversaries in a single strike.

Needless to say, both the Mystic Sun Dao Lord and the Dawnfire Dao Lord had their treasures—the Mystic Sun Divine Pearl, the Dawnfire Divine Crucible, and the Dawnfire Flowing Flame Sword—fall into Eldrin's hands.

Both the Sunrise Godly Furnace and the Sunrise Flowing Fire Sword were mid-grade Pure Yang spirit treasures. Particularly, the Sunrise Godly Furnace was an alchemical cauldron of Pure Yang grade, making Eldrin (Person Name) reluctant to part with it for any trade.

Eldrin then produced the Sunrise Flowing Fire Sword, the Profound Sun God Pearl, the Crimson Flame Qi Golden Wheel, and the Fire Phoenix Fan, saying, "As for these treasures, I wonder which might catch Your Excellency’s interest?"

Daoist Haoyuan cast a reluctant glance at the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss, knowing full well that a single Black Tortoise Inscription Stone couldn't secure such a treasure. With no alternative, he settled for the second-best choice—the Fire Phoenix Fan.

He gently stroked the Fire Phoenix Fan and said with a smile, "The True Phoenix Flame released by this treasure is particularly effective against demonic cultivators. It might even pose a threat to mid-to-late-stage Heavenly Demons at the Nascent Soul level. I shall gratefully accept it."

As Daoist Haoyuan acquired the Fire Phoenix Fan, a subtle gleam flickered in Dorian (Person Name)'s eyes.

He retrieved a dim golden treasure from his sleeve and said with a light laugh, "This is Purplefire Goldbronze, an artifact of dual metal-fire attributes."

The Sacred Lord Dorian spoke, about to summon the Crimson Flame Qi Golden Wheel, when he saw the Ice Drake Ancestor shake his head.
