Chapter 1440 : Map, Reborn from a 100 Calamities

"If you desire it, you may exchange it for either 100,000 Immortal Source Stones or a single low-grade Heaven-Sundering Artifact."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) felt a faint tremor in his heart.

This was no mere map, but a detailed intelligence report—1 that even contained information on all the major factions throughout the Abyssal Purgatorial Sea.

Such detailed intelligence could likely only be gathered by the 2 cave heavens of Xiqi and Shenyuan within the entire Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea.

For the various powerful blessed lands and those in need, they would even be willing to procure a single low-grade Heaven-Opening Treasure.

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but ask, "I wonder if this third map contains any intelligence regarding the various major grotto-heavens?"

The Great Hidden Realms?

The steward shook his head, then smiled. "All Supreme Grotto-Heavens are unfathomably profound, with Innate Treasures anchoring their destinies."

Even a Celestial Immortal would find it impossible to fully fathom its hidden depths, and attempting to uncover its secrets is no easy feat. This map only reveals the strength and foundations it has publicly disclosed.

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this, well aware in his heart that the Divine Abyss Cave Heaven likely possessed detailed intelligence on all the major cave heavens.

However, such intelligence was classified as top secret, and the Abyssal Grotto-Heaven would certainly not sell it easily.

Thinking of this, Eldrin’s gaze flickered slightly as he said, “There must be a third map hidden within the Western Sea of Primordial Chaos as well.”

"Yes." The steward spoke with a smile, "This map costs the same, and is even more detailed."

"I'll take the third map of both the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea and the Nether Abyss Purgatory Sea."

At this point, he produced 200,000 units of Immortal Origin.

"1 moment, please."

The steward left for a moment, then returned with 2 maps.

Handing both maps to Eldrin, the steward suddenly added, "With the Heavenly Tribulation yet to erupt, few are willing to purchase the third map of the Abyssal Purgatorial Sea these days."

"Fellow Daoist, your willingness to pay a premium for this map suggests you intend to venture into the Abyssal Infernal Sea to eradicate demons, defend righteousness, and accumulate the Radiance of Meritorious Deeds."

"This..."

Having his intentions seen through, Eldrin’s gaze sharpened slightly.

他跟几人对视了一眼，微微点了点头道：“我辈肉身成圣之人，修行之路注定业煞缠身，此去幽渊炼狱海确实是为了缓解业煞之力。”

"I thought as much."

The steward smiled faintly before speaking: "Among our ranks of immortals, there will always be those who wield thunderous methods, as well as those who inadvertently incur blood debts. Thus, the need to condense virtue's pure radiance is to be expected."

"However, the Abyssal Infernal Sea is extremely perilous. While you seek to slay demons and accumulate virtue radiance, in the eyes of demonic cultivators, you immortals are equally prized treasures."

Thus, most who journey to the Abyssal Inferno Sea travel in company, for this not only provides mutual support but also allows them to stand shoulder-to-shoulder in vanquishing demons and monsters.

At this point, the steward's eyes flickered slightly as he said, "The timing is perfect. In 3 months, a group will be heading to the Abyssal Inferno Sea to vanquish demons and eradicate evil."

"The leader of this expedition is none other than the renowned Terran Earth Immortal—Daoist Zixuan (Person Name). Should any of you wish to join, you may accompany his party by paying a certain amount of Immortal Origin (Cultivation Resource)."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) slightly furrowed his brow. He had heard a little about Daoist Zixuan (Cultivator), who was said to be an Earth Immortal at the Great Perfection stage having opened 8 heavenly layers.

Legend has it that Daoist Zi Xuan possessed an unyielding temperament and cultivated the overwhelmingly domineering 'Purple Mystic Divine Thunder' law. Once regarded as the equal of the Silent Thunder God, he was also renowned as 1 of the 10 most powerful Earth Immortals in the Western Qi Divine Abyssal Sea.

However, Eldrin was not familiar with this person. After a moment of contemplation, he replied, "Allow us some time to consider before making a decision."

The steward of the Divine Abyss Pavilion nodded and said, "I see your cultivation seems to be only at the early Earth Immortal stage. Venturing alone into the Abyssal Purgatorial Sea would indeed be far too perilous."

"Very well. In 3 months, they will gather at the Demon-Slaying Hall. Should you be willing, you may go directly there."

Hearing this, Eldrin said, "Many thanks, fellow Daoist."

With those words spoken, they said no more and immediately stepped out of the great hall.

They emerged from the Divine Abyss Immortal City and arrived at a desolate island. Only then did Eldrin (Person Name) cast his gaze upon the map in his hand.

"Let's first take a look at the map of the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea."

Eldrin spoke, and with a sweep of his sleeve, he unfurled the map of the Xī Qì Shén Yuān Hǎi (Mystical Realm).

As he unfurled the map, an endless void unfolded before him, where a scroll gradually blossomed open, revealing the complete topography of the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea in meticulous detail.

Eldrin attempted to channel energy into the terrain map for closer inspection, only to discover it encompassed not just the Sea of Returning Abyss, but also numerous islands of sixth-tier and beyond.

"A highly detailed map."

Lyra remarked that this map essentially marked all the immortal islands within the Western Qi Divine Abyssal Sea.

Maps of terrain below the sixth tier, due to the relentless shifts of seas turning into mulberry fields, undergo continuous transformation over tens of thousands of years, hence they are not particularly detailed.

However, the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea was immeasurably vast, with over 2,000 blessed lands alone, and the immortal islands beneath the blessed lands numbered in the hundreds of thousands.

Nearly every 1000 years, numerous immortal islands would change hands, and every 10 1000 years or so, some blessed realms would either fall into ruin or come into being.

Under such circumstances, the sheer amount of manpower and resources expended to create such a detailed map was beyond imagination.

"Without several 1000 immortals, completing the creation of this map would be utterly impossible."

Chen Qiyuan (Person Name) spoke up, then added, "Let’s check the situation in the Abyssal Sea (Location)."

Seeing this, Eldrin immediately opened the Abyssal Sea, then with a flick of his sleeve, displayed its detailed conditions.

There, upon the map of the Eldrin Sea, emerged a thick, ethereal tome inscribed with numerous annotations.

Eldrin opened only the first page and felt a jolt of astonishment after a single glance. Written upon it were the words:

Abyssal Sea Territory Affiliated Organizations: Chen Immortal Clan (Organization), Abyssal Immortal Alliance (Organization)

The Void Return Immortal Alliance and the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) are powers that have risen through 90-9 kalpas, 8 tribulations, and 9 great cataclysms since the dawn of the Qingcang Immortal Domain.

The main lineage of the Void-Returning Immortal Alliance is the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization), formed together with dozens of subordinate immortal sects and clans, including the Starry Sky Palace (Organization), the Dao Palace (Organization), the Drifting Snow Palace (Organization), the 6 Crescent Moon Clan (Organization), and the Purple Feather Lu Clan (Organization).

Within this lineage, there were a total of 467 Immortals, along with a dozen or so Earth Immortals.

Among them, the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) alone boasted 187 Immortals, while the rest were all affiliated forces.

Among the 12 Earth Immortals, the Chen Clan alone possessed 9 Earth Immortal Patriarchs: the Daoist of Returning Ruins Eldrin (Person Name), the Daoist of Celestial Ruins Lyra (Person Name), the Eastern Emperor Patriarch Chen Qiyuan…

As Eldrin perused the materials, his heart grew increasingly astonished with each passing moment.

He opened his personal profile and saw the following:

The Void Return Daoist, originally named Eldrin, was the foremost figure in the Western Qi Divine Abyssal Sea in 1,000,000 years. He once set foot into the forbidden realms and was rumored to have unlocked 10 celestial layers.

His foundation holds the promise of the Great Luo Realm, yet it is regrettable that his ascension to immortality is still recent. Even if he can break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm within 10 million years, it will be difficult for him to catch the opportunity of 100 Tribulations Rebirth in the Qingcang Immortal Domain.
