Chapter 995 : Before the Parting

Qing Ji chuckled softly and replied, "My love, neither you nor I are ones to be content with mediocrity."

"To master the Dao Principle this time, though I consumed 1 Immortal Azure Lotus Seed, I still possess a Lunar Immortal Jade. By harnessing its profound properties, I retain at least a 30 to 40 percent chance of attaining the Dao Fruit."

"On this path to immortality, if I don't seize this chance, I fear I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

Eldrin (Person Name) smiled and nodded upon hearing this. "Well said. As cultivators, we must press forward with unwavering resolve. This time, you will surely achieve your breakthrough."

After making her decision, Qing Ji did not delay. She immediately took out the Lunar Immortal Jade and began her secluded cultivation to condense her Dao Fruit.

With the aid of the Lunar Immortal Jade, Qing Ji's seclusion did not last long. Merely 30-some years later, radiant clouds began gathering across the heavens—a clear sign her Dao Fruit had taken form.

"Finally, it is done."

Eldrin lifted his head, gazing at the gathering tribulation clouds that blotted out the sky, then finally nodded with a faint smile.

Within the seclusion chamber, Qing Ji (Person Name) ascended as if stepping into the heavens, her gaze briefly sweeping over him. That fleeting glance seemed to convey that she was no less formidable than Lyra (Person Name).

With the assistance of the immortal treasure, Azure Dragon Sea-Quelling Sword, Qing Ji's Transcendent Ascension Lightning Tribulation was ultimately overcome without major peril, passing after what seemed but a brief moment.

And just as Qing Ji was undergoing her tribulation, Lyra (Person Name) emerged from seclusion in the Central Ancestral Domain, drawing upon herself the immortal ascension lightning tribulation.

In comparison, Lyra's heavenly tribulation was even more terrifying. However, with the Eastern Emperor Bell hovering above her head and having borrowed Eldrin's Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss, she successfully weathered the lightning tribulation.

In the span of a mere moment, 2 more Immortals emerged within the Violet Realm, and all living beings across the world wept with overwhelming joy.

Countless senior cultivators were overcome with emotion, their voices choked with emotion as they gathered within the ancestral shrine. They personally lit incense and paid homage to their forebears, relaying this momentous news to their ancestors in the belief that the calamity of the Demonic Abyss would finally meet its end.

After Qing Ji and Lyra (Person Name) successfully weathered the lightning tribulation, they bestowed rewards upon all living beings across the Violet Realm before returning to the Spirit Lake Continent.

Madam!

Within the bounds of Spirit Lake Continent, Eldrin gazed upon the 2 breathtakingly beautiful female immortals before him, feeling a rare surge of excitement well up in his heart.

He had cultivated to this day with 1 ultimate dream—to walk side by side with his dao companion, ascending the celestial path of immortality together.

Now, time had flown by, and in the blink of an eye, several 1000 years had passed. The dreams of his youth finally began to resurface.

"Soon. Once I slay the Demon God and fulfill this millennia-old aspiration, I shall ascend to the heavens."

Eldrin murmured softly, then drew both women into his embrace and said with heartfelt relief, "Now that the 3 of us have ascended to immortality together, we need never again endure the agony of life and death's parting."

"Hmm..."

Lyra (Person Name) gave a slight nod, yet her gaze remained fixed upon Azure Maiden (Person Name).

Qingji’s gaze fell upon Eldrin (Person Name), her bright eyes shimmering with a hint of spring-like allure.

A faint tremor passed through Eldrin's heart. Though his bond with Kiyohime ran deep, for the sake of the grand scheme to eradicate the Demon God, he had refrained from intimate relations with her for thousands of years.

Now that Qing Ji had broken through to immortality, the purity and potency of her primal yin was truly earth-shattering, making this the perfect moment for dual cultivation.

With this thought in mind, he wrapped his arm around Qing Ji's slender waist and slowly walked into the cave abode.

Eldrin awoke from the dual cultivation session to find Qingji’s celestial beauty utterly breathtaking. Every inch of her skin was as flawless as immortal jade, stirring a faint ripple of desire within his heart.

Immortals lose track of time during dual cultivation. Though they had been entwined in passion for countless days and nights, he found himself utterly captivated by the Emerald Lotus Fairy's exquisite form before him.

Sensing the surging power of immortal essence within him, Eldrin gave a slight nod of satisfaction.

This dual cultivation session had brought him immense gains. The vast primordial yin energy of the female immortal was absorbed by him, causing his immortal essence to surge by over 40 percent. His cultivation base broke through in 1 leap, reaching the second level of the Ascension Realm.

Cultivation at the Immortal Realm progresses with excruciating slowness; for many immortals, even tens of thousands of years may not suffice to advance a single layer of cultivation.

Eldrin had only recently achieved his breakthrough, yet before he could even ascend to the immortal realm, he had already reached the second level of Immortal Ascension. This demonstrated how astonishing his gains truly were.

At this thought, he drew Qing Ji into his embrace and said with a gentle smile, "With your assistance in this endeavor, my confidence in vanquishing the Demon God has grown by severalfold."

After this significant advancement in cultivation, Eldrin faintly sensed that the Violet Realm could scarcely withstand his presence any longer.

Thus, he summoned the cultivators of his clan and called upon the various Primordial Spirit Dao Lords of the Violet Realm to gather at Verdant Chariot Mountain (Location) for 1 final discourse on the Dao.

This sermon lasted 9 days and 9 nights, with Eldrin expounding the Great Path to immortality, leaving all who listened immensely enriched.

After the sermon concluded, Eldrin gazed upon the various Primordial Spirit Dao Lords before him and inwardly nodded in approval.

Over the years of recuperation, the number of Primordial Spirit Dao Lords in the Violet Realm had gradually been restored.

Particularly in recent years, Eldrin's discourses on the Dao had bestowed blessings upon countless beings across the Violet Realm, ushering in an unprecedented surge in Nascent Soul cultivation. This culminated in the emergence of over 2 100 Nascent Soul Dao Lords by the present day.

As he thought of the Violet Realm gradually restoring its former glory, Eldrin felt a trace of solace in his heart.

The mortal world churns like rolling tides, as seas change into mulberry fields.

"Unbeknownst to all, this venerable self has now trodden the path of cultivation for over 5 1000 8 100 years."

After the sermon concluded, Eldrin could not help but sigh and speak.

He let out a soft sigh, speaking with a mix of relief and emotion, "Now that my cultivation has surpassed the mortal limits, the Purple Realm can no longer contain this old man."

"3 days hence, this old man shall depart the Violet Realm to confront the extraterrestrial demon gods at the source of the cataclysm in a final reckoning."

"After this parting, I fear we shall never meet again. May you cultivate diligently, and perhaps 1 day we shall reunite in the immortal realm."

"Ancestral Elder!" The cultivators prostrated themselves, their faces brimming with unparalleled fervor as they declared, "We pledge to follow the immortal to the Demon Abyss this day and slay the Demon God."

"No need."

Eldrin calmly rejected the crowd, his voice exceptionally tranquil. "The realms of immortals and mortals are forever separate. For you to interfere in the war between celestials and demons is nothing short of seeking your own demise."

"Do not make a meaningless sacrifice. It is better to remain within the Violet Realm."

"If..." He paused briefly, then finally spoke, "If we fail, you may yet become the final embers."

Patriarch!

The crowd cried out urgently, wishing to say more, but they discovered that Eldrin (Person Name) had already vanished without a trace.

Chapter 1 Eastern Wastelands (Location), Myriad Ruins Ancient Domain (Location), Flame Prison Inferno (Location).

Beyond the endless sea of flames in the Infernal Prison of Fire, Eldrin stood in tranquil silence.

He gazed at the Sea of Flaming Prisons for a long while, as if countless words swelled within him, yet he found himself at a loss for what to say.

After a long while, a drawn-out voice finally emerged from within the infernal sea of flames: "Little Eldrin, there is no need for farewells, no need for longing."

"To slay the Demon God is your destiny."

"No matter if we meet again after this day, your old uncle will always be proud of you."

"Go, go..."

Eldrin (Person Name) said nothing, silently turning to depart.

At the moment of parting, he suddenly felt an inexplicable intuition. Turning back, he saw only Chen Silas (Person Name) standing silently in the corner, gazing at him with unwavering stillness.

Chapter 1: The Abandoned Disciple The icy rain fell like shattered jade, each drop piercing through Lin Xuan's tattered robes. Clutching his broken dantian, he stumbled through the muddy path of the outer sect, his face as pale as death. "Look, it's the once-in-a-century genius!" A mocking voice cut through the downpour. "Still clinging to that broken cultivation after 3 years?" Lin Xuan didn't raise his head. The mocking, the scorn—he had grown accustomed to it all. 3 years ago, during the sect competition, he had been secretly injured by his rival, his cultivation base destroyed in an instant. Suddenly, a warm current surged from the jade pendant at his chest—a family heirloom. A mysterious cultivation method appeared in his mind: 9 Revolutions Chaotic Heaven Art. [Congratulations, host, for activating the God-level Selection System] [Option 1: Continue enduring humiliation. Reward: 10,000 spirit stones] [Option 2: Fight back fiercely. Reward: First revolution of 9 Revolutions Chaotic Heaven Art] A glint of sharp light flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes. He slowly stood up, his gaze as piercing as a unsheathed sword. "I choose Option 2." In that moment, terrifying spiritual power erupted from his body, the surrounding rain curtain evaporating into mist with a sizzle. The mocking disciples stared wide-eyed, as if seeing a ghost. "You... your dantian... how is this possible?" Lin Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his voice cold. "Some debts are meant to be repaid." A system notification sounded again: [New Mission: Join the 7 Profound Sect within 3 Days] [Reward: Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure)] Lin Xuan looked into the distant mountains, a determined gleam in his eyes. His path of cultivation had only just begun.
