Chapter 1606 : Visiting the Great Wilderness Daogong

The joy of dual cultivation with several fairies had already transcended the ultimate pleasures of the mortal world.

Such soul-consuming ecstasy made Eldrin feel as if he were ascending to immortality, nearly drowning in its overwhelming depths.

Fortunately, his mind was resolute, and his spiritual platform grew even clearer during the dual cultivation. His cultivation base had also consolidated further—clear evidence of the immense benefits he had gained.

"The Yin-Yang Co-Cultivation Covenant has been deduced to the Great Perfection of the Earth Immortal realm."

Eldrin murmured softly, having advanced the Yin-Yang Resonance Art to the ninth layer of the Earth Immortal realm. Through dual cultivation with his dao companion, they could now share countless insights.

Had he been willing to remain within the Return Abyss Blessed Land and jointly study this scripture with his 5 immortal consorts, their comprehension of the Dao Principles would have been significantly enhanced for all involved.

However, the journey to the forbidden realm concerned his path to immortality, so Eldrin ultimately did not linger for long.

He bid farewell to Lyra (Person Name) and departed from the Sea of Returning Abyss, journeying northward toward the 6 Heavenly Domains of the Extreme North.

The Vast Cang Immortal Realm drifted amidst the endless chaos, its expanse so boundless that none could fathom its true measure in immortal journey distances.

The vast Expanse of Celestial Dominion was divided into 30-3 heavenly realms: the Eastern Extremity, Western Extremity, Southern Extremity, Northern Extremity, and the Central Heaven.

The Eastern Pole, Western Pole, Southern Pole, and Northern Pole each possessed 6 celestial domains, totaling 20-4 celestial domains.

The Central Heavenly Domain is the most ancient. It is said there are 7 heavenly domains in total, which together with the others make 30-1 heavenly domains.

Beyond this, in the boundless celestial expanse, lies yet another heavenly realm known as the Vast Azure Heaven.

In the boundless depths of the Netherworld, there exists a celestial realm known as the Abyssal Nether.

‘Vault of Azure’ was the domain where the Sky-Piercing Halberd resided. This celestial realm held no mortals nor ordinary immortals—only those who had attained the Heavenly Immortal realm or higher could ascend to its heights.

The Nether Abyss lies in the deepest recesses of the underworld, jointly governed by the 10 Great Underworld Kings. It is said to be an unfathomable realm beyond measure.

Getting back to the main topic, the forbidden land Eldrin sought this time was an ice-attribute forbidden realm, located within the 6 Northern Heavenly Domains.

"Is this the Northern Dipper's 6 Heavenly Domains?"

With the power of the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void (Magic Treasure), Eldrin (Person Name) soon arrived within the 6 Northern Heavenly Domains.

He did not head straight to the Frigid Soul Forbidden Land. Instead, he went directly into the Realm of Serene Subtlety and sought out the Primordial Dao Palace to meet its master.

Eldrin had cultivated for years in the Western Extremity's 6 Celestial Domains and knew little of the Northern Extremity's 6 Celestial Domains. Though he had long decided which forbidden realm to enter, he still resolved to seek intelligence from local powers to avoid grave troubles.

Back when he descended to the lower realm, Eldrin had fought side by side with the master of the Great Wilderness Dao Palace. Now that he had arrived in the Northern Polar Celestial Domain, he was reminded of him.

Nowadays, Eldrin had gained some renown within the Vast Azure Immortal Realm, and the master of the Great Barren Dao Palace naturally dared not show any neglect.

He personally received Eldrin and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, you've traveled from afar. This is truly a rare visit."

"My apologies for the unannounced visit."

Eldrin smiled faintly and spoke courteously.

The Lord of the Great Wilderness Dao Palace was exceedingly courteous, inviting Eldrin (Person Name) to the summit of a celestial mountain where he personally brewed a pot of tea for him.

After the exchange of pleasantries, he finally inquired, "Fellow Daoist, might I ask what brings you to our Great Barren Dao Palace?"

Getting down to business, Eldrin gave a faint nod and said, "I've come to the 6 Northern Heavenly Domains to handle a matter. However, I am unfamiliar with this region and would like to request detailed intelligence about the 6 Northern Heavenly Domains here."

Hearing this, the Master of the Great Wilderness Dao Palace smiled faintly and said, "Very well. I shall retrieve a detailed report for you."

A moment later, the master of the Great Wilderness Dao Palace brought over a detailed intelligence report.

Eldrin gave it a cursory glance and found that this intelligence report on the 6 Northern Heavenly Domains was exceptionally detailed, with comprehensive descriptions of ice-attributed forbidden lands that fully met his requirements.

With a faint smile, he spoke without hesitation, "With this intelligence, I need no longer grope in the dark. My sincere gratitude."

The Lord of the Great Wilderness Dao Palace smiled faintly and said courteously, "It was but a trivial favor. I presume Fellow Daoist could have acquired this information by merely visiting the Qingwei Immortal City."

Eldrin (Person Name) said no more. After leaving a portion of immortal essence, he hastily departed from the Great Wilderness Dao Palace.

After leaving the Great Wilderness Dao Palace, Eldrin examined the intelligence in his hands, falling into contemplative silence.

According to this intelligence, the 6 northern celestial domains are respectively: Qingwei Celestial Domain, Guanghan Celestial Domain, Ancient Ice Soul Domain, Taixuan Starfall Domain, Northern Ming Abyssal Sea, and 10 1000 Snows of Frozen Rivers Domain.

These 6 heavenly realms collectively contained dozens of grotto-heavens, large and small, as well as several terrifying forbidden lands.

The ice-attributed forbidden realm that Eldrin was about to enter lay within the Ancient Domain of Frost Essence.

"The intelligence on the Great Wilderness Dao Palace was obtained from the Clear Micro Realm, and it aligns with the data I have in hand. It seems we can give it a try."

After reviewing all the materials, Eldrin murmured softly.

Without another moment of hesitation, he soared all the way into the Icesoul Ancient Domain, eventually arriving at a glacial expanse sealed by ice and snow that had remained unmelting for hundreds of millions of years.

"This is the place."

Phoenix Fall Ridge.

Gazing at this ancient domain, Eldrin (Person Name) compared it to the intelligence in his hand, his expression turning profoundly solemn as he murmured to himself.

Legend has it that this Phoenix Fall Ridge was formed from the remains of an ancient Frost Phoenix at the dawn of the Primordial Era, now renowned throughout the Qingcang Immortal Domain as a perilous forbidden ground.

It is said that in the immeasurable past, during the great war at the end of the Primordial Era, the Primordial Divine Court clashed with indescribable foes. The mighty deity Qing Cang, with power spanning the vast cosmos, wielded his Heaven-Piercing Halberd of Qing Cang, forcing legions of heroes to bow in submission.

A primordial Ice Phoenix was slain by the supreme deity Qing Cang. Its immortal phoenix form pierced through the celestial membrane of the Qing Cang Heaven Domain after its demise, plummeting into the ancient realm of Frost Essence where it transformed into the Phoenix Fall Ridge—a mountain range stretching across countless immortal paths.

According to the intelligence Eldrin (Person Name) had gathered, this primordial Ice Phoenix was suspected to be an existence at the Ancient Immortal Realm, having not yet taken that final step. It was precisely for this reason that Eldrin (Person Name) had ventured into this forbidden land.

Legend has it that within the Fallen Phoenix Ridge, numerous beings at the Celestial Immortal realm had ventured inside over hundreds of millions of years. Though most emerged only after paying a grievous price, exceedingly few Celestial Immortal powerhouses ever perished there.

Eldrin murmured softly, yet the gravity in his brow remained unyielding.

Even a Celestial Immortal would be gravely wounded in this forbidden ground, posing immense risks for Eldrin.

However, the Vast Azure Immortal Realm possessed only 2 ice-attribute forbidden lands. The other 1, the 10 1000 Ghosts Frozen Abyss (Forbidden Land), was rumored to have been formed from a fragmented Innate Spiritual Treasure (Magic Treasure). Even ancient immortal powerhouses had reportedly perished within its depths.

By comparison, the Phoenix Fall Ridge was Eldrin's only viable option.

With this thought, he hesitated no longer and immediately stepped into the Fallen Phoenix Ridge.

"Hiss, it's freezing!"

Shortly after stepping into the Fallen Phoenix Ridge, Eldrin was instantly struck by an extreme, piercing cold.

This wave of icy chill was potent enough to freeze all creation. Even an existence at the Ascension Realm, should they step into it, would likely be unable to endure for more than a short while before being frozen into an ice sculpture.

Fortunately, Eldrin's Primordial Immortal Body was extraordinary. Even when subjected to such frigid energy, he remained largely unaffected, merely feeling a chill.

Given Eldrin's (Person Name) current cultivation level, his physical body could withstand the full-force assault of a peak half-step Celestial Immortal, rendering him naturally impervious to the chilling aura.

"Merely staying in the outer regions won't be enough to temper my Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body."

Eldrin murmured softly under his breath before resuming his journey, pressing deeper into the Phoenix Fall Ridge.

Before Eldrin even realized it, he had walked for an indeterminable length of time before finally arriving at the inner reaches of Phoenix Fall Ridge.

"Huff... huff... huff..."
