Chapter 1726 : Alliance of 20-6 Celestials

After emerging from seclusion, Chen Qiyuan's aura grew increasingly unfathomable, as if he had shattered yet another limit, surpassing even the likes of Feng Wuji and the Pure Yang Saint.

He kept the results of this seclusion to himself, and none could tell whether he had truly mastered the 12 Tribulations Domain.

Not long after, Yan Zijie, Lila, and Chen Ethan emerged from seclusion, having successfully cultivated the Taboo Dao Fruit.

Several 1000 years later, Qing Ji and Seraphina Qu (Person Name) also advanced further, stepping into the Eleventh Tribulation realm.

The next to emerge from seclusion was Kael. While all the others swiftly broke through to the Celestial Immortal realm after their closed-door cultivation, Kael alone remained unascended.

He waited outside Eldrin's seclusion chamber for over 10 1000 years, until the 90-1000-year Dao Tribulation, when Eldrin emerged from closed-door cultivation, that he finally laid eyes upon Eldrin.

"Junior Brother Eldrin, I am preparing to depart."

Upon seeing Eldrin, Kael spoke with tranquil composure.

Eldrin’s expression shifted slightly upon hearing this, and he immediately inquired, “Brother, why is that?”

"My Dao Fruit is flawless, and the Karma of All Realms Returning to 1 has been perfected." Kael spoke slowly, then sighed. "Yet my path remains incomplete."

Imperfection?

Upon hearing this, Eldrin instantly understood Kael's flaw.

Kael's Omniversal Unity Body was immensely powerful, and his mastery over the Buddhist, Daoist, and Demonic paths remained unparalleled in the world. Yet, the foundation of his cultivation had not truly reached a state of flawless perfection.

Lacking the crucial foundation of the Great Dao, relying solely on physical strength and the power of his Dao Fruit, even if Kael were to achieve sainthood through physical cultivation or attain enlightenment via his Dao Fruit in the future, there would still be an inherent imperfection.

"You wish to re-cultivate the Dao and rebuild your foundation in this life?"

Eldrin (Person Name) let out a soft sigh and couldn't help but ask.

Kael nodded and spoke calmly, "This time, with the aid of the 30-3 Heavens Grand Formation, I attempted to comprehend the laws and rebuild my foundation. Unfortunately, I only took half a step forward and did not achieve complete success."

"Thus, I intend to journey across 3 1000 immortal domains, and while at it, visit the Primordial Immortal Domain. I shall seek enlightenment at the ancient sanctuaries and sacred grounds of major orthodox sects, pursuing the method to rebuild my foundation."

"Hmm."

Eldrin nodded, yet added, "The Vast Azure Immortal Realm is immeasurably distant from the Primordial Immortal Realm. Even aboard a ninth-rank, supreme-grade ancient vessel, it would take several 100 1000 years to arrive."

"Given your current level of cultivation, venturing into the Primordial Immortal Domain would still be far too perilous."

"It would be better to first break through to the Celestial Immortal realm. After cultivating to the late Celestial Immortal stage, we can then journey into the depths of the primordial chaos."

At this, Kael shook his head involuntarily.

In truth, following Eldrin's suggestion to first break through to the Celestial Immortal realm, seclude oneself in cultivation until reaching at least the mid-stage Celestial Immortal level, and only then venture into the primordial chaos would be far safer.

After all, with the foundation Kael had established by stepping into the forbidden realm, it was estimated that he could obtain 20-some strands of Primordial Qi after breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm.

If used sparingly, these 20 strands of Primordial Qi would be sufficient for Kael to cultivate all the way to the mid-stage Celestial Immortal realm—even with a foundation several times more robust than that of an ordinary Flawless Celestial Immortal.

However, he did not take Eldrin's advice. Shaking his head, he said, "Once you break through to the Heavenly Immortal realm, the difficulty of mending your foundation will increase tenfold."

"With my current foundation and combat prowess, I am far more confident in rebuilding my foundation."

"Very well." Eldrin nodded and said, "Since you have your own plans, I shall naturally support you."

"After the Heavenly Tribulation concludes, the ancient vessel connecting the Pure Sun Holy Land to other celestial realms will set sail. I shall secure you a berth."

With that said, the 2 conversed for quite some time longer. Eldrin gave Kael several important reminders and bestowed upon him a few precious protective artifacts, finally solidifying their arrangement.

After handling this matter, Eldrin gathered all the immortals from both his clan and the Celestial Alliance.

Within the majestic celestial palaces, several dozen immortals were seated in all directions, each possessing an extraordinary aura—all were mighty Celestial Immortals whose prestige shook the entire celestial realm.

Eldrin gazed at the dozens of figures before him, a faint smile gracing his lips.

Currently, there were 20-6 figures gathered within this grand hall. Over half belonged to the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization), while the remainder were allies from the Return to Abyss Immortal Alliance (Organization).

Within the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization), there were 12 individuals: Eldrin (Person Name), Lyra (Person Name), Qing Ji, Seraphina Qu (Person Name), Lila (Person Name), Yan Zi Ji, Chen Qiyuan, Chen Ethan (Person Name), Kael (Person Name), Chen Xianqing, Ancestor Qing, and Chen Xianchang.

These 12 individuals had all obtained boundless providence during this Dao Calamity. With the aid of vast resources and the 30-3 Heavens Grand Array to rebuild their foundations, they finally ascended to greater heights—each and every 1 of them achieving the forbidden realm.

Over the years, everyone except Kael (Person Name) had successively broken through to the Flawless Celestial Immortal realm.

After breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm, they all successively ascended to the Celestial Immortal Universe, each having opened up a grand universe spanning at least 30,000,000 light-years.

Among them, Lyra (Person Name) was the most stunning. The universe she had created spanned an immense 80,000,000 light-years, comprised 20-1 layers of heavens and earths, and had yielded a total of 30 strands of Primordial Qi.

Chen Qiyuan followed, having opened 19 celestial layers and obtained 20-8 strands of primordial qi.

Seraphina Qu, also known as the Verdant Princess, had likewise opened 19 celestial layers. Yet she had only obtained 20-5 strands of primordial qi, her foundation seemingly less profound than that of the venerable Eastern Emperor, whose accumulated prowess had blossomed in due time.

Lila, Yan Zi Ji, and Chen Ethan, all 3 had opened 17 layers of heaven and earth, each obtaining 20 strands of Primordial Qi (Cultivation Resource).

Between the 2 children, Chen Xianqing had long since forged his own path. Now, seizing the opportunity to rebuild his foundation, he advanced even further—mastering the 11 Tribulation Domain, unlocking the 18 Heavens, and obtaining 20-4 strands of Primordial Qi.

The third son, Chen Xianchang, also seized the opportunity to master the 30-3 Calm Sea Pearls. Directly using these pearls, he consecutively opened 19 layers of heavens and obtained 20-8 strands of Primordial Qi.

In 1 breath, he obtained 20-8 strands of innate qi. Chen Xianzhang’s aptitude, even when viewed across the entire forbidden realm, could be considered among the very highest tier—no less than that of the unparalleled prodigy throughout the annals of Golden Crow Cave Heaven, the Solar Golden Crow.

Of course, the fact that so many members of the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) could set foot in the forbidden realm and open up so many layers of heavens was actually related to Eldrin (Person Name) to some extent.

For within the 30-3 Heavenly Domain Formation, there naturally existed karmic fortunes and opportunities, guarded by 30-3 forbidden chances of fate.

By applying this forbidden opportunity to suitable individuals, 1 could theoretically forge 30-3 Forbidden Imperial Sons.

The members of the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) were all gifted with remarkable talent. After obtaining vast quantities of 9 Calamities and even Forbidden Dao Origins, supplemented by the reconstruction of their foundations through the 30-3 Heavenly Domain Grand Array, they all successfully cultivated the Forbidden Domain.

With the foundation of the forbidden realm and the temporary elevation of a minor realm granted by the Primordial Yin-Yang Cauldron of Unity, they managed to open so many layers of heavenly domains.

In truth, most of the forbidden opportunities within this 30-3 Heavenly Domain Formation were already claimed by established powerhouses of the forbidden realm like Qing Ji (Person Name), Feng Wuxian (Person Name), and the Pure Yang Saint (Person Name).

In truth, the remaining slots were exceedingly scarce—even a major faction like the Pure Sun Grotto-Heaven had been allocated merely 1 or 2 positions.
