Chapter 905 : A Clan's Unshakable Foundation

Eldrin Chen opened the ledger and could not help but reveal a look of delight.

With the growth of the Chen Clan's power over these years, the territory occupied by the Chen Immortal Clan had expanded immensely. Especially after the fall of the Black Dragon Demon Progenitor, the vast Vast and Boundless Marsh fell into the hands of the Chen Clan.

The Vast and Boundless Marsh was now incorporated into the domain of the Myriad Ruins Continent, which consequently separated from the Three Veins Ancient Domain. It was renamed the Myriad Ruins Ancient Domain, becoming the seventh Ancient Domain within the Eastern Wastelands.

Having secured the Myriad Ruins Ancient Domain, the Chen Clan had become a superpower spanning the Three Veins and the Myriad Void Ancient Domain.

Within this vast territory, the Chen Clan possessed seven Sixth Rank Spiritual Vein [spiritual energy arteries of the sixth rank], including Gu Yuan Mountain, the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire, Celestial Vault Isle, Eight Trigrams Island, Spirit Lake Isle, the Hundred-Thousand-Mile Wilderness, and the Black Dragon Pool.

The remaining Fifth Rank Spirit Vein [spiritual energy arteries of the fifth rank] were too numerous to count; according to Eldrin Chen, there were already several hundred.

The power of the Chen Clan had surged accordingly. Now, they boasted over eight hundred Nascent Soul True Lord [cultivators who have formed their Nascent Soul, a spiritual infant], while lower-level cultivators below the Golden Core [the solidified spiritual core stage] were beyond counting.

"One lineage, seven Dao Lord [masters of the Dao, the fundamental principle of cultivation], seven Sixth Rank Spiritual Vein, and three Sixth Rank Ancestral Vein [ancestral spiritual arteries of the sixth rank]."

"Our Chen Clan's Deep-Seated Foundation [profound and unshakable foundational strength] can already be called peerless under heaven, not inferior to the supreme Deep-Seated Foundation of places like the Dao Palace Sacred Land or the Western Pole Tranquil Spirit Temple."

As Old Granduncle spoke, a trace of joy could not help but appear between his brows. Read the full novel exclusively on www . audio-novel.com.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen also nodded, then said calmly, "Occupying such a vast territory, with just a few Millennium of management, our Chen Clan will undoubtedly become one of the foremost colossal powers in the Purple Realm."

Beyond these industries, the Clan Treasury of the Chen Clan now also held a vast stockpile of treasures.

Among them were more than ten Pure Yang Spiritual Object [spiritual objects imbued with the pure essence of Yang], eight or nine Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure [enchanted artifacts of the Pure Yang grade], and over twenty Pure Yang Grade Spirit Medicine [spiritual herbs and plants used for cultivation]. Of these, the Pure Yang Fruit [a legendary fruit that condenses pure Yang essence] alone numbered four.

Many of these treasures were obtained by Eldrin Chen from slaying Nascent Soul Demons and Monsters [demonic beings and monstrous creatures at the Nascent Soul realm], some were seized from the Black Dragon Pool, and the remainder were accumulated by the clan over recent years.

"Four Pure Yang Fruit, two Nascent Soul Pill [a precious pill that aids in forming or strengthening the Nascent Soul], and two pieces of 'Void Profound Jade' [a rare jade containing profound void energy]. It seems Old Granduncle has been very diligent in recent years."

Setting down the ledger casually, Eldrin Chen said with a sigh.

Among the many treasures were precisely four Pure Yang Fruit and two pieces of Void Profound Jade, clearly collected over many years by Thalion Chen as precious resources prepared for Eldrin Chen, Lyra Jiang, and others to attempt their breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage [the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit realm, a profound level of spiritual cultivation].

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen said nothing more, merely taking out several treasures from his possession.

Before Eldrin Chen appeared several treasures, their radiant auras shimmering and undulating. They were respectively the Demon-Slaying Crucible [a cauldron-shaped treasure forged for vanquishing demons], the Heavenly Demon Pagoda [a pagoda that suppresses and refines heavenly demons], the Scale-Reverse Sword [a sword famed for piercing the strongest defenses], the Void-Rending Formless Sword [a formless sword capable of tearing through the void], the Black Dragon Spear, and the Grand Cosmos Vase [a vase said to contain a miniature cosmos], among others.

Gazing at these treasures before him, Eldrin Chen looked at the Grand Cosmos Vase covered in cracks and said, "Senior Grand Cosmos Vase was severely wounded in this battle. I intend to place it within The Vast Sea to absorb the boundless Water Essence Power [the fundamental energy of water] for nurturing and recovery."

"Let us divide the remaining treasures," he said.

Upon hearing this, everyone present felt a surge of joy.

Artifacts of the Sixth Rank High Grade were exceptionally precious; refining even one or two of them would undoubtedly lead to a tremendous increase in their strength.

Seeing this, Lyra Jiang took the Demon-Slaying Crucible with a complex expression. "This Demon-Slaying Crucible was the ultimate protective treasure my grandfather left for my father," she said, her voice tinged with nostalgia. "I never imagined it would find its way back to me after all these twists and turns."

"*Hum*—"

The Demon-Slaying Crucible trembled faintly, as if sensing Lyra Jiang's aura. The Treasure Spirit [the sentient consciousness within a magical artifact], which had been refined by the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, seemed to stir slightly, awakening for a moment before sinking back into dormancy.

Witnessing this, Eldrin Chen sighed. "After being refined by the Extraterrestrial Demon God, the Treasure Spirit within the Demon-Slaying Crucible has suffered severe damage," he explained. "It will require your careful nurturing to gradually recover."

"Mmm."

Lyra Jiang nodded and stored the Demon-Slaying Crucible away.

The others did not hesitate either. Nyssa Qu, possessing the Mythical Immortal Seed constitution of the Demonic Tribe lineage, found the Heavenly Demon Pagoda to be the most compatible with her nature and naturally chose it for refinement.

Yvonne the Violet Consort did not possess a High Grade Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure [a top-tier magical artifact imbued with pure Yang energy], so she was granted priority selection rights. Consequently, she obtained the Scale-Reverse Sword.

Among the remaining treasures, only the Void-Rending Formless Sword and the Black Dragon Spear were left. Yet, Verdant Consort, Lila, and the Old Patriarch still awaited their choices.

Seeing this, Lila shook her head and said, "I possess an Ice Spiritual Root [an innate spiritual affinity for the element of ice], and my Mana [the spiritual energy used to power spells and artifacts] is rather thin. I already have the Frost Soul Immortal Ribbon, and attempting to refine and wield another High Grade Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure would likely exceed my capacity."

"Furthermore, none of these are Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure of the Ice Attribute [imbued with the power of ice]. In my hands, they could not unleash their full potential. Therefore, it should go to the Old Granduncle."

"I have no need for it either."

Thalion Chen shook his head, then said with a smile, "Once I refine the Eight Trigrams Demon-Refining Banner, it will be more than sufficient to dominate my peers. Why would I distract myself by refining another Spiritual Treasure?" The story continues at audio_novel.com.

Everyone nodded in understanding, recognizing the wisdom in the Old Granduncle's words.

Seeing that neither of them desired it, Eldrin Chen gave the Void-Rending Formless Sword to Verdant Consort. Then, he looked at the Black Dragon Spear and said, "This Black Dragon Spear was forged from Pure Yang Treasure Gold [a rare metal infused with pure Yang energy] and dragon scales, making its material exceptionally extraordinary."

"Currently, I still possess the Dragon Bone [the skeletal remains of a dragon, a potent alchemical and crafting material] of a Black Dragon. Perhaps they can be fused together to forge a supreme treasure."

"Agreed."

Upon hearing this, Lyra Jiang's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "With this in hand, we can further refine our Artificing Art [the esoteric craft of forging magical treasures]."

After the treasures were divided, Eldrin Chen headed towards the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire [a perilous realm of eternal, scorching flames] to continue digesting the gains from this battle.

This time, Eldrin Chen and Lyra Jiang joined forces. After half a year of effort, they finally succeeded in forging the Black Dragon Spear and the Dragon Bone [a bone imbued with draconic essence] into a supreme treasure.

Yvonne the Violet Consort currently lacked a High Grade Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure [a top-tier artifact of pure, untainted Yang energy], so she was granted priority in selection and thus claimed the Scale-Reverse Sword.

Among the remaining treasures, only the Void-Rending Formless Sword and the Black Dragon Spear were left. Yet, Verdant Consort, Lila, and the Old Patriarch still awaited their choices.

Seeing this, Lila shook her head and said, "I possess an Ice Spiritual Root [an innate affinity for the element of ice], and my Mana [the spiritual energy used to power techniques and treasures] is rather thin. I already have the Frost Soul Immortal Ribbon, and attempting to refine and wield another High Grade Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure would likely exceed my capacity."

"Furthermore, none of these are Ice Attribute [aligned with the element of ice] Pure Yang Spiritual Treasures. In my hands, they could not unleash their full potential. Therefore, it should go to the Old Granduncle."

"I have no need for it either."

Thalion Chen shook his head, then said with a smile, "Once I refine the Eight Trigrams Demon-Refining Banner, it will be more than sufficient to dominate my peers. Why would I need to divide my focus by refining another Spiritual Treasure?"

Everyone nodded upon hearing this, understanding the wisdom in the Old Granduncle's words.

Seeing that neither of them required it, Eldrin Chen gave the Void-Rending Formless Sword to Verdant Consort. Only then did he turn his gaze to the Black Dragon Spear and declare, "This Black Dragon Spear was forged from Pure Yang Treasure Gold and dragon scales, making its material exceptionally rare and potent."

"Now, I still possess the Dragon Bone of the Black Dragon. Perhaps they can be fused and refined together into a supreme treasure."

"Excellent."

Upon hearing this, Lyra Jiang's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "With this material in hand, we can further elevate our Artificing Art [the esoteric craft of forging magical artifacts]."

After the treasures were divided, Eldrin Chen proceeded towards the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire to continue digesting the gains from this battle.

This time, Eldrin Chen and Lyra Jiang joined forces. After half a year of concerted effort, they finally succeeded in refining the Black Dragon Spear and the Dragon Bone into a single, supreme treasure. Immerse yourself in the complete world at (audio-novel.com).
