Chapter 1345 : Group Seclusion

"In that case, I shall set my heart at ease."

Hearing Lyra’s words, Eldrin felt a slight sense of reassurance in his heart.

Since ancient times, those with the potential to step into the 10 Tribulations realm have always been truly unparalleled geniuses. Lyra (Person Name) was confident she could reach this stage, which would not only greatly enhance her combat prowess but also signify her limitless potential.

Eldrin (Person Name) also felt joy in his heart. With talent that had dazzled the ages, those around him had gradually failed to keep pace with his footsteps.

Only Lyra (Person Name) remained steadfastly by his side, assuring him that he did not walk the path of the Great Dao alone.

At this thought, Eldrin turned his gaze to Qing Ji and said, "For your Yin-Yang Azure Lotus Dao to reach perfection, Madam, you still require a trace of the Dao Origin for refinement."

"Back in the Crimson Sun Sea, I once vanquished a half-step Earth Immortal. However, as time was pressing and you were needed to hold off the demon tribes, I did not bring it up then."

"Upon reflection, the source of his Dao should prove useful to you."

At this point, Eldrin produced the Dao Origin of the Black Fiend Demon Lord.

Qing Ji took the Dao Origin and gave a slight nod. "With this, my Yin Yang Azure Lotus Dao shall reach perfection."

"When the time comes, I can attempt to condense the Flawless Dao Fruit and charge toward the 9 Tribulations realm." "Mm."

Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod, a faint smile gracing his lips. "Focus your minds on secluded cultivation. I shall oversee matters in the Return Abyss Sea during this period. When you emerge from isolation, we shall assess the configuration of the great tribulation together."

"Very well."

Lyra and Qing Ji (Person Name) both nodded slightly, then remained in the Abyssal Sea of Returning Ruin to enter seclusion and refine the Origin of Dao.

Seeing that several people had entered seclusion, Eldrin left behind a strand of divine consciousness to guard them, then departed from the Abyss of the Returning Abyss and returned to the Sea of the Returning Abyss.

Currently, most immortals within the Celestial Alliance are in seclusion, necessitating the presence of a Pillar of Stability-level existence to guard the Abyssal Return Sea.

Eldrin's Primordial Immortal Body could progress no further for the time being, nor did it require refining the Source of the Dao. Thus, he became the guardian of the Abyssal Sea.

In the days that followed, Eldrin began his vigil over the Abyssal Sea, steering the course of its grand affairs.

While keeping an eye on the overall situation in the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, he presided over the Return Ruins Sea Region and simultaneously began refining the 2 primordial treasures—the Profound Yin Heaven-Slaying Sword and the Profound Yang Heaven-Entombing Blade.

These 2 Heaven Opening Treasures were both of superior grade, their value exceeding that of lower-grade Heaven Opening Treasures by more than tenfold. Even across the entire Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, such treasures were exceedingly rare.

Refining such a treasure was incredibly arduous, yet Eldrin's Primordial Chaos rules were profoundly mystical, capable of erasing the Dao imprints of all creation.

Under his urging, after expending several 100 years, he finally managed to grind away the spiritual consciousness of the artifact spirits within these 2 Heaven-Opening Treasures, completely refining them.

After having their spiritual intelligence erased, these 2 Heaven-Sundering Treasures could no longer protect themselves autonomously, and their mystical efficacy had diminished by nearly a third. Yet Eldrin felt no regret whatsoever.

These 2 treasures were, after all, the Heaven-Opening Treasures of the 1000 Dragon Lake's master. If their spiritual intelligence wasn't completely erased, using them would risk them turning against their wielder.

After extinguishing the spiritual consciousness of the artifact spirits, these 2 primordial treasures were completely refined by Eldrin, becoming his 2 hidden aces.

Thus time flowed on, and in the blink of an eye, 1 1000 years had passed.

During this time, Eldrin had once considered visiting the 1000 Dragon Lake to see if any treasures remained within, but ultimately abandoned the idea.

For this battle, 1000 Dragon Lake had deployed its entire force. To prevent their base from being raided, they had taken nearly all of their liquid assets with them.

Perhaps there were still some treasures within the 1000 Dragon Lake, yet it lay beyond the Flowing Rivers and 100 Seas, separated from the Sea of Returning Ruins by a vast and considerable distance.

The moment the soul lamp of the 1000 Dragon Lake's master was extinguished, the true dragons remaining within the lake would inevitably gather their floating assets and flee. In such a scenario, even if Eldrin were to go, he would likely find nothing but an utterly vacant blessed realm.

Most crucially, all the high-ranking immortals and Earth Immortal elders within the Celestial Alliance were currently in seclusion, while Eldrin (Person Name) himself was too preoccupied to extricate himself. Naturally, no 1 had time to make a fruitless journey.

That day, Eldrin was patrolling the Sea of Returning Abyss when he suddenly sensed a powerful aura rising from a grand hall. A faint smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

"He has broken through as well."

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured inwardly, immediately soaring toward that direction.

But within that great hall came a burst of hearty laughter, followed by an elder clad in a star-embroidered daoist robe striding forth.

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) immediately smiled and said, "Congratulations, in-law. With you stepping into the 6 Calamities Realm, it seems the Earth Immortal Realm is just within reach."

"Hahaha, I'll gladly take those auspicious words."

出关之人正是六辰道人，但见六辰道人哈哈一笑，露出了几分畅快之色。

6-Celestial Immortal had cultivated for nearly 7 100 1000 years since attaining immortality. In his early years, his progress was neither swift nor sluggish—merely ordinary among the celestial ranks.

Yet in recent years, fortune had smiled upon him. He broke through to the 9th level of Ascension before the great calamity arrived and obtained a supreme immortal treasure—the Black Serpent Pendant. His combat prowess now stood at the very peak even among those at the 9th level of Ascension.

He subsequently took part in 4 major battles: the conflict in the Suwei Sea, the campaign against the Setting Sun Blessed Land, the war in the Tianyao Sea, and the 1000 Dragon Lake naval engagement. In each of these battles, he achieved considerable military merits.

Relying on these merits, the 6-Celestials Immortal successively refined 3 Supreme-Grade Dao Origins, using them to break through to the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm.

This time, after refining 2 Supreme Grade Dao Origins in succession, I actually broke through directly into the realm of 6 Calamity Immortals. Now, with my foundation perfected and flawless, I am fully prepared to ascend to the Earth Immortal realm.

At this thought, Immortal Liu Chen smiled faintly and said, "Why not seize the day? I shall attempt my breakthrough to the Earth Immortal realm today, and I would be honored to have you bear witness, dear in-law."

"Very well."

Eldrin smiled faintly and retrieved a vial of elixir from his sleeve, offering it over. Immortal Liuchen took it and upon inspection, immediately remarked with a smile, "My thanks."

This elixir within the vial is known as the Purple Origin Immortal Pill. Consuming just 1 pill can restore approximately 30 percent of the true essence for a Half-Step Earth Immortal, making it an exceptionally precious and supreme-grade immortal pill.

Eldrin gave 3 of them in 1 breath, nearly equivalent to gifting half of a top-grade immortal treasure, truly demonstrating his lavish generosity.

With this Violet Origin Immortal Pill, the 6 Stars Immortal immediately began his assault on the Earth Immortal Realm, attempting the world-shattering feat of opening the heavens and cleaving the earth.

As a 6 Calamity Immortal, his chances of breaking through to the Earth Immortal realm were exceedingly high. Aside from those overambitious fools who dared attempt to open more than 4 or 5 layers of heavenly tribulation, ordinary 6 Calamity Immortals rarely failed in their ascent to Earth Immortal.

The 6 Stars Immortal before them was attempting to break through to the Earth Immortal realm, yet his actions remained remarkably cautious.

He created heaven and earth using the laws of the stars, and upon success, harnessed the Primordial Qi of Creation to elevate his bonded treasure, the 6 Heavens Star Pearl. With this, he then forged the Second Heaven.

After opening 2 layers of the heavens in succession, Immortal Liu Chen felt his remaining strength was insufficient. Thus, he did not risk opening the third layer and directly stabilized the world with the 4 Extremes Heavenly Pillars.
