Chapter 1401 : Eightfold Celestial Dragon Diagram

He was merely a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so naturally, he couldn't achieve such a feat.

Moreover, even if he were capable of doing so, he would not rush to restore his memories. His recollections of the Violet Realm spanned merely over a 100 years—but what if the echoes of a 1000 lifetimes were to resurface all at once? Which incarnation’s memories would then take the helm?

Under such circumstances, recovering memories of a 1000 lifetimes would likely lead to personality fragmentation, or even cause his soul to collapse under the strain and dissipate entirely. Currently, Chen Changqing's consciousness was primarily composed of memories from his previous life in the Violet Realm and his present incarnation, making him naturally reluctant to be immediately influenced by the accumulated memories of all his past existences. With this thought, he gazed at the Verdant Leaf Sword beside him and remarked with a faint smile, "Old friend, we meet again."

"Ding."

The Verdant Leaf Sword hummed with the wind, as if exhilarated to reunite with its original master.

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) smiled and said, "Seventh Granduncle, the old clan leader is still within my Earth Immortal (Cultivation Realm) world. I thought you 2 old friends might have much more to say to each other."

Chen Changqing gave a faint smile and said, "Your life is destined to be magnificent, and the rise of your family shall be nothing short of an epic." "I shall visit the Fourth Elder to hear the tales of these 100 1000 years." With these words, Chen Changqing stepped into the earthly immortal realm of Eldrin.

Meanwhile, in the Earth Immortal Realm, the old clan leader showed a flicker of astonishment upon seeing Chen Changqing's arrival.

He stared at Chen Changqing, momentarily stunned into a prolonged silence. After what felt like an eternity, the 2 settled beneath an ancient tree where he personally poured a cup of tea for Chen Changqing. With a sigh, he said,

In the blink of an eye, 1 100 1000 years had passed—truly, how endless the river of time flows.

"Old Seventh, do you know that all these years, whenever our clan achieved new milestones, I would visit your graves to tell you how the Chen Family has soared to greatness?"

"Alas, I know you cannot hear me. You have been reincarnated through thousands of lifetimes. Though I ventured into the Netherworld's depths time and again, I never found even a trace of you."

All these years, the 1 I longed to confide in, the 1 I dreamed of seeing again, has finally appeared before me.

Chen Changxuan felt as if he were dreaming. He pulled Chen Changqing into an all-night conversation, reminiscing about the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) spanning 1 100 1000 years, recalling the transformations of immortal domains and blessed lands, and proudly sharing tales of bygone eras with him.

Eldrin stood within the Divine Abyss Immortal City, yet he could still hear the 2 recounting their experiences over the years. A faint sigh welled up in his heart.

For 1 100 1000 years, the Chen Clan rose from a Foundation Establishment immortal family, advancing step by step to become a Purple Mansion, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Void Refinement immortal lineage. Ultimately, they ascended to the immortal realm, establishing themselves as a blessed land governing an entire domain.

They hacked their way through thorns and thistles, weathering the Chaos of Demons, transcending the Calamity of Devils, quelling the pandemonium of monsters, and cleansing the scourge of fiends. They severed every obstacle in their path, purging heaven and earth, until at last they surmounted all tribulations and rose to prominence.

This is a magnificent epic, 1 that could very well be considered a legend across the myriad realms of the heavens.

"In my lifetime, I have become something of a legend across the myriad realms of the lower world."

Eldrin spoke slowly, a trace of emotion surfacing on his face. Lyra nodded in agreement, yet her eyes shone with a brilliant light as she couldn't resist saying, "Your destiny stretches far beyond this lifetime."

"1 day, you and I shall become legends across the Firmament Celestial Realm, Great Luo Golden Immortals whose might shakes the endless primordial chaos, and perhaps even glimpse that supreme realm of Dao Ancestor divinity."

Eldrin felt his heart surge with emotion upon hearing this, and he gave a slight nod. "That day will come."

With that said, Eldrin spoke no more.

He had Chen Changqing cultivate within his Boundless Realm of Returning Abyss, while he himself remained in the Divine Abyss Immortal City, quietly awaiting the commencement of the Grand Barter Assembly. Thus, time flowed like a fleeting shadow, and several centuries slipped by.

Before he knew it, the day of the Exchange Assembly had arrived. This auction was being held within the Celestial Palaces above the immortal city—a magnificent complex of several 1000 small floating islands perched atop the city's highest peaks.

These islands drifted amidst the void, veiled in boundless immortal mists that showcased the elegance of celestial realms without a hint of vulgarity.

Eldrin, Lyra, and Qing Ji ascended onto a floating island, while Daoist Tianyuan, along with Liu Chen, Di Quan, and others, each claimed their own islands.

After Eldrin (Person Name) set foot on the island, he instinctively surveyed his surroundings, then a faint frown creased between his brows.

He discovered that across the surrounding celestial islands, there were over 3,600 land masses, and nearly every 1 was presided over by a terrestrial immortal elder.

"Over 3,000 Earth Immortals."

Witnessing this scene, Eldrin’s heart skipped a beat, and he couldn’t help but reveal a trace of astonishment.

It must be understood that most of the Earth Immortal Patriarchs present were of the human race. Yet, among the nearly 20,000 Earth Immortal Patriarchs in the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, only slightly over 7,000 belonged to humanity.

"Nearly half have arrived."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then couldn't help but remark to Seraphina Qu beside him, "Judging by the situation, this Grand Bazaar of Exquisites is bound to yield quite a few remarkable treasures."

Seraphina Qu nodded pensively and said, "The next great tribulation will be the Dao Tribulation, which occurs only once every 10 million years."

The various blessed lands of the Western Mists Divine Abyss Sea are all preparing to take advantage of this auction to make ample preparations, thereby increasing their chances of surviving the Heavenly Tribulation.

As the group was speaking, a floating lotus platform slowly descended from the heavens at the core of the 3 1000 immortal islands.

A female immortal of peerless beauty stood atop it, holding a treasure in her hands as she stood in serene stillness.

"It's her."

A faint glimmer stirred in Eldrin's eyes as he recognized this person's origins.

This maiden, Yao Xi (Person Name), was the Holy Maiden of the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven and the direct descendant of the Supreme Elder from the Divine Abyss Blessed Land. It was said her cultivation had reached the half-step Celestial Immortal realm, ranking first among the 10 Great Female Immortals of the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea.

It is said that within the Western Qi Grotto-Heaven, the Divine Clan’s 9 Heavens Celestial Maiden shares the top rank with her, as the 2 are nearly equal in combat prowess, appearance, cultivation level, and status.

"Fellow Daoists."

As the lotus platform slowly descended, the Divine Abyss Saintess gradually opened her eyes and gazed upon the assembled guests.

She swept her gaze around the assembly before speaking calmly, "This Trading Assembly shall proceed in 2 stages. The first is the Auction Conference, followed by the actual Trading Assembly."

"The auction shall be presided over by myself, featuring a total of 13,670 lots at the Heaven-Sundering Treasure level."

"The Trading Assembly will commence after the auction concludes, where all attendees may ascend the platform to conduct transactions at their discretion."

At these words, Fairy Yaoxi waved her sleeve, unfurling an ancient scroll as she declared, "The first treasure to be presented today is this very artifact."

8 Divisions Heavenly Dragon Diagram.

The moment they laid eyes on the treasure, many faces lit up with delight, revealing flickers of restless anticipation.

These Eightfold Celestial Dragon Charts were an exceedingly rare Primordial Chaos Treasure. It was said that this artifact had been forged by an ancient, mighty Buddha of the Buddhist tradition in ages past. To craft this treasure, that ancient Buddha subdued 8 Earth Immortal-stage Celestial Dragons at the late stage and refined them into these ancient charts.
