Chapter 872. East Sea Eye

After the Karmic Lotus Throne successfully advanced, Eldrin did not immediately emerge from the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire.

Now that the Chaos Azure Lotus had successfully advanced, he finally had a moment of leisure. He intended to seize this opportunity to study the lotus roots of the Chaos Azure Lotus and begin refining the alchemical formula.

With Eldrin's (Person Name) current alchemy mastery, even if he couldn't be considered the absolute best in the Violet Realm, he was undoubtedly among the top 10.

At his level, he had long since mastered the nature and principles of medicines, thoroughly comprehending the Dao of Monarch, Minister, Assistant, and Envoy. He could formulate elixir recipes by harmonizing the properties of various spiritual herbs, no longer bound by the ancient formulas and secret methods of his predecessors.

What they truly cherished were the Pure Yang Spirit Herbs, along with the comprehension and integration of Dao Patterns.

Because what elevates a treasure pill to the Pure Yang grade is not merely its immense medicinal potency and pure Yang energy, but most crucially, the Dao Patterns infused within the pill itself.

All Pure Yang Spirit Medicines contain innate Pure Yang Dao Patterns within. For instance, the Solar Holy Water embodies Solar Dao Patterns, formed through the condensation of solar essence within the mortal realm.

Just as the Tianshan Snow Lotus is born from the 'Tianshan Snow Soul Origin', it conceals Dao patterns upon maturity, making it 1 of the coldest substances in the mortal realm.

All such sixth-tier pure yang spirit herbs, each containing various forms of primordial cosmic essence, stood as the ultimate treasures of the mortal realm.

Only a sixth-rank alchemist of profound attainment could fully manifest its Dao patterns' mysteries, refining them into an unparalleled sixth-rank Supreme Pure Yang Treasure Pill.

As a Tier-6 Alchemist, Eldrin found himself utterly captivated by the Heaven-Defying Azure Lotus Root after obtaining it.

At this moment, he took out the Creation Azure Lotus Root and began his secluded cultivation, studying the Dao patterns within to devise a sixth-rank Pure Yang Treasure Pill capable of neutralizing all manner of demonic curses and protecting a cultivator's primordial spirit.

"Senior Tianya's physical body has been ravaged by the Violet Blood Soul-Severing Curse, rendering it extremely fragile. We cannot employ overly aggressive methods to neutralize it."

"Yet if we do not employ an overbearing method, relying solely on the medicinal efficacy of this sixth-tier lower-grade treasure lotus root would likely prove insufficient to completely purify the Violet Blood Immortal-Severing Curse."

Eldrin pondered left and right, then retrieved 1 of the family's 4 scriptures and 8 classics—the Alchemy Tome.

After several more years of secluded contemplation, it wasn't until 1 particular day that he finally grasped the general concept: "The Purple Blood Immortal-Severing Curse is the Purple Blood Heavenly Demon's final sacrificial strike. Even a Demigod Ancestor (Cultivation Realm) would likely suffer severe injuries from it."

"Unless I can concoct a Grade 6, Superior-Quality Treasure Pill, attempting to completely neutralize it would be nothing short of building castles in the air."

"All we can do now is settle for the second-best option—minimize its destructive potential and protect the master of the Celestial Horizon Pavilion by having them abandon their physical form. We can reconstruct their fleshly body years later."

With a clear plan in mind, Eldrin soon deduced the specific alchemy formula.

Looking at the deduced pill formula, he slightly furrowed his brow and summoned Qing Ji (Person Name) and the others, saying, "During these years of secluded cultivation, I have finally deduced a pill formula that can assist Elder Tianya (Person Name)."

"However, this pill formula requires 'Yimu Divine Water' as the primary ingredient. That Yimu Divine Water can only be nurtured within the East Sea's oceanic abyss."

Lyra’s pupils contracted slightly upon hearing this. She took a deep breath and said, “In the current Eastern Sea cultivation world, aside from the 2 great holy lands, everything else has become the domain of demons and monsters.”

"Wouldn't it be too perilous for us to go there now?"

"Don't worry." Eldrin shook his head, his gaze sharp as he declared, "With my current cultivation level, if I were determined to flee, even if the 9 Nether Demon Sovereign himself were to strike, he would certainly fail to stop me."

Seeing this, Qing Ji nodded and said, “Then let us go together.”

"No need for such trouble." Eldrin shook his head and continued, "The Eastern Wastelands still require guardians. I shall make haste and return swiftly."

Having made up his mind, Eldrin immediately set off for the Eastern Sea cultivation realm.

The East Sea Abyss was 1 of the 4 great sea abysses of the Violet Realm, located at the easternmost extremity where the Primordial Vein of Eastern Yi Wood converged with the Primordial Vein of Water Essence.

It is said that as early as over 1 100 1000 years ago, the 2 ancestral veins within the East Sea Abyss had merged, and once every million years, they would give birth to a supreme immortal treasure.

Yet before the Fallen Violet Immortal perished, he banished the Violet Realm into the endless void, triggering a cataclysmic upheaval that reshaped heaven and earth.

Many supreme ancestral veins within the Violet Realm were shattered by this upheaval, and the East Sea's Abyssal Eye(Geographical Location) was among them.

The quasi-immortal-grade Eastern Primordial Wood Ancestral Vein and the Eastern Sea Water Vein Source also suffered devastating damage.

Of course, the immortals who ascended from the Violet Realm also possessed numerous methods. For instance, the founding master of the Distant Shore Pavilion had long foreseen that the Violet Realm would face a calamity and left behind a hidden contingency within the Eastern Primordial Wood Ancestral Vein.

Back when the 'Eastern Primordial Wood Ancestral Vein' suffered a devastating blow, through a contingency left by the founding master of the Horizon Ocean Pavilion, the ancestral vein's dragon soul seized the momentum to break free from its shackles and transformed into a 'Primordial Wood Azure Dragon'.

That 'Azurewood Dragon' possessed the bearing of a 9 Heavens Celestial Demon, originally a crucial contingency prepared by the ascendant immortals of the Horizon's Edge Pavilion to confront the Outer Realm Demonic Gods.

However, he was ambushed by an extraterrestrial demon god, and before he could fully mature, his potential was extinguished in its infancy. It was this very incident that triggered the first major collapse of the Eastern Sea Cultivation World.

After the Verdant Dragon Wood Elemental met its demise in the womb, the majority of its Wood Qi dissipated between heaven and earth, leaving only a small portion to be acquired by the 'Eastern Sea Azure Serpent'. It later transformed into the legendary Azure Dragon.

Though this Eastern Sea Azure Dragon could not compare to the immortal breeds of the celestial realm like the Yimu Azure Dragon or the legacy of the Fire Phoenix Immortal—those fated to achieve immortality—it still ranked among the most supreme existences in the mortal world.

Alas, he chose not to walk the righteous path, instead pledging allegiance to the Demon God and bringing calamity upon the world. In the end, he was slain by Emperor Jiang upon the Dragon-Severing Peaks.

Eldrin journeyed eastward toward the sea, his contemplative expression deepening as memories of bygone days in the Violet Realm surfaced in his mind.

Having reached his current realm, he was now privy to many of the Violet World's secrets and had a clear understanding of the intricate conflicts between the Violet World and the demon gods over the past 70,000 years.

Yet at the thought of the East Sea Abyss he must venture to, his expression grew solemn. "In ancient times, the East Sea Abyss was formed by the convergence of the Eastern Yi Wood Primordial Vein and the Water Element Primordial Vein."

"Both are supreme ancestral veins nearing the celestial rank. While the Eastern Eldrin Wood Ancestral Vein once gave birth to the Eldrin Wood Azure Dragon, why has the Water Element Ancestral Veil remained completely dormant all this time?"

"Could there be some trickery in this?"

Eldrin murmured inwardly, his thoughts drifting back to the Boundless Spirit-Sea spanning hundreds of millions of miles where all spiritual energy vanished. Unbidden speculations coiled tighter in his heart.

At this moment, his path conveniently aligned with the journey to the Eye of the East Sea, so he flew straight ahead without detour.

Traversing the boundless void, he arrived above the Endless Spirit Sea that stretched for hundreds of millions of miles, attempting to probe it with his divine sense.

Yet even after a full half-month of continuous searching, he could scarcely find a single trace, and an expression of disappointment crept across his face.

"Alas, if there truly is a destined opportunity here, perhaps the time for its emergence has not yet arrived."

Eldrin murmured, understanding that even if the Spiritless Sea truly contained the schemes of immortals, given the precedents set by the Fire Phoenix Immortal and the Yimu Azure Dragon, such secrets would undoubtedly be buried deep beyond reach.
