Chen Nianzhi naturally had no reason to pass up a supreme earth vein he desperately needed.
He immediately left the Guixu Sea Region and flew for several years before finally arriving in the Earthspring Sea Region.
Within this sea region, Earthspring Ancestor had already been waiting for a long time.
When he saw Chen Nianzhi, his pupils contracted slightly. He promptly cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist. You have entered the realm of a Nine Tribulations Immortal this time. It seems you may yet hope to attain Great Luo in the future."
"Not at all."
Chen Nianzhi smiled faintly and said modestly, "There are over a hundred grotto-heavens in the Sky-Pillar Immortal Domain, with several hundred Heavenly Immortal powers among them."
"Of those Heavenly Immortal powers, more than thirty percent once cultivated the foundation of a Nine Tribulations Immortal, yet they still failed to enter the Great Luo realm."
"What virtue or ability do I possess that I could rise above the rest?"
"You are too modest, Fellow Daoist."
Earthspring Ancestor smiled slightly, then said, "With your talent, Fellow Daoist, you will at the very least become a peerless Heavenly Immortal. You may even have a chance to glimpse the Great Luo realm."
With that said, the two stopped exchanging pleasantries.
Chen Nianzhi glanced at Earthspring Immortal Isle, then said, "Your Earthspring Immortal Isle sits atop a supreme Wu-Earth Vein. Its value is likely comparable to a treasure of creation."
"Since you are giving it to me today, what treasure do you require in exchange?"
At his words, Earthspring Ancestor merely smiled faintly.
Rather than answering immediately, he took a clump of dark brown, mysterious qi from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Nianzhi.
"I heard that Fellow Daoist has been seeking this treasure these past years?"
