Chapter 938 : The Demon God's Sealed Legacy

"Indeed, that is the case."

Galewind the Ancient Ancestor nodded, then sighed and said, "For tens of thousands of years within the Purple Realm, there have been several exceptionally talented cultivators who wished to destroy the Demon God Heaven Pillars and shatter the Formation that seals the world's spiritual energy, erected by the Extraterrestrial Demon God."

"Yet, they all failed."

"Oh?" Eldrin Chen furrowed his brow slightly, then inquired, "Jiang the Sovereign Emperor was a Nine Heavens Immortal. Why did even he not succeed?"

"With Jiang the Sovereign Emperor's cultivation level, he naturally possessed the power to uproot the Demon God Heaven Pillars,"

"but he chose to abandon that course of action."

Galewind the Ancient Ancestor shook his head, his expression turning profoundly grave as he spoke.

As the ancestor recounted the tale, Eldrin Chen gradually came to understand the terrifying nature of the Demon God Heaven Pillars...

It turned out the location of the Xun Wind Divine Ridge [the Divine Ridge of the Xun Wind, a crucial geographical feature] was of paramount importance. It was integral to the wondrous cycle of spiritual energy within the Purple Realm. Once fully restored, it would gradually allow the Purple Realm's spiritual energy to recover.

Even if the various Earth Vein [the spiritual arteries of the land] within the Purple Realm were shattered, as long as the Xun Wind Divine Ridge remained, the realm's spiritual energy would slowly regenerate with the passage of time. Dive deeper into the Dao at audi novel.com.

In this era, Purple Realm high-grade Pure Yang Earth Veins [spiritual energy channels imbued with the essence of pure Yang] have become exceedingly rare,

and Sixth Rank High Grade Pure Yang Spiritual Object [spiritual treasures of the pure Yang attribute] have largely vanished from the world,

a circumstance not unrelated to the destruction of the Xun Wind Divine Ridge.

Fearing that the Human Race might restore the Xun Wind Divine Ridge, the Extraterrestrial Demon God [a powerful demonic entity from beyond this realm] laid multiple contingencies using seven Demon God Heaven Pillars [colossal pillars forged by demon gods].

First, each of those seven Demon God pillars possesses a weight measured in billions of *jun* [a unit of immense weight], heavier than a vast continent. Even a Demi-Immortal [a cultivator on the cusp of true immortality] exerting their full power could barely lift a single one.

Furthermore, the seven Demon God Heaven Pillars are interconnected. Attempting to lift one alone means bearing the combined weight of all seven, necessitating the coordinated effort of seven Demigod Ancestor [powerful ancestors with demi-god strength].

Second, using the seven Demon God Heaven Pillars as anchors, the Extraterrestrial Demon God siphoned and trapped the Wind [the elemental power of wind] energy that has accumulated between heaven and earth for tens of thousands of years, creating the Purple Realm's most terrifying phenomenon: the Galewind's Eye [the epicenter of a cataclysmic windstorm].

Upon this foundation of Wind power, the Extraterrestrial Demon God laid a dreadfully potent curse.

Should the seven Heaven Pillars ever be raised,

the Formation [magical array] would unleash the Galewind's Eye accumulated over millennia, its fury sweeping across the entire world.

The power of the Wind [a legendary, cataclysmic wind formation] is soul-scouring and bone-eroding,

If allowed to erupt fully, it is feared that over half of the Eastern Wastelands would be swept up in its wake.

At that point, the entire Eastern Wastelands would be scoured anew. I fear that whether they be human, demon, plant, or beast,

any being whose cultivation does not surpass the Foundation Establishment [the third major stage of cultivation] realm would likely have their flesh and bones instantly dissolved by the Wind's power.

Such a terrifying Wind calamity would likely take at least a Millennium [a period of one thousand years] to barely subside. Whoever dares to disturb it would incur an immense Karmic Burden [a metaphysical debt of cause and effect, often with severe consequences].

Precisely because of this, not only the various Demigod Ancestor [powerful cultivators at the peak of the mortal realm] of the Purple Realm, but even an attained Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] like Jiang the Sovereign Emperor had to hesitate, ultimately refraining from acting against it.

After listening, Eldrin Chen's expression grew profoundly grave. "These seven Demon God Heaven Pillars [monolithic pillars forged by ancient demon gods] are far too immense. With my current means, I fear I lack the strength to uproot them."

"If that were the only concern, it might be manageable. But more critically, the Galewind's Eye [the core and source of the Galewind formation's power] is far too domineering. Even if I could pull the pillars free, I would not dare provoke its wrath."

"Set your mind at ease, honored guest. I invited you here precisely to subdue that Galewind's Eye."

Galewind the Ancient Ancestor spoke calmly, then produced an ancient scripture from his robes. "Although the Galewind's Eye was a creation of the Demon God [a race or faction of powerful, malevolent beings], it is also a natural wonder of heaven and earth, formed over tens of thousands of years within the Purple Realm by the converging power of the Wind."

"If we can subdue it and use a Formation [a structured array that channels and manipulates energy] to anchor it upon the Xun Wind Divine Ridge, then uproot the seven Demon God Heaven Pillars [demonic pillars that suppress the land's spiritual veins], perhaps we can once again gather the world's Wind [the elemental force of wind] power and rebuild the Xun Wind Divine Ridge."

As Galewind the Ancient Ancestor detailed the plan, a contemplative expression settled upon Eldrin Chen's face.

After finishing his explanation, Galewind the Ancient Ancestor handed the ancient scripture to Eldrin Chen and said, "Our lineage of the Xun Wind Divine Ridge specializes in cultivating the Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles governing reality] of wind. Among our six founding patriarchs, four achieved their Dao [enlightenment and ascension] through mastery of the wind's Laws of the Dao."

"In the path of Wind [wind-based formations and arts], our sect's Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] founding patriarch was even more profound than the Extraterrestrial Demon God [a powerful demonic entity from beyond this realm]."

"This scripture is named the 'Galewind Ancient Scripture'. It is a peerless ancient scripture left behind by our patriarchs, containing within it the method to subdue the Galewind's Eye [a legendary artifact that is the source of all wind]."

Eldrin Chen accepted the ancient scripture and studied it carefully for a long moment before taking a deep breath. This chapter is part of a larger work available at audio-novel-dot-com.

The Galewind Ancient Scripture was a supreme immortal scripture left by the Immortal founding patriarch of the Wind lineage, one of the most priceless treasures within the entire Purple Realm.

With this scripture in hand, Eldrin Chen could begin crafting the necessary artifacts and use a Formation to anchor the Galewind's Eye upon the Xun Wind Divine Ridge.

Furthermore, Eldrin Chen could draw upon the methods of the Xun Wind Divine Ridge to refine his own cultivation technique for the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary physique of immense durability]. By harnessing the power of the Galewind's Eye, he could seize the opportunity to cultivate his physical body to its Great Perfection realm.

When his physical body was fully cultivated to the minor perfection realm and Tri-Mystical Qi [a profound, tripartite energy born from the ultimate refinement of flesh and spirit] began to stir within him, the power of his flesh would be no weaker than that of Eastern Sovereign.

By then, pulling out the remaining seven Demon God Heaven Pillars [monolithic pillars of immense power, said to have been erected by ancient demon gods] would be a matter of course.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen turned his gaze to Galewind the Ancient Ancestor and asked, "Senior, you bestowed upon me the immortal scripture and aided me in subduing the Galewind's Eye [a legendary artifact of wind and storm]. For what purpose do you seek this?"

"My purpose..."

Galewind the Ancient Ancestor murmured, then after a moment sighed deeply. "The lineage of the Wind [a profound formation art centered on the power of wind] declined under my watch. Though the events of that year were not my fault, I have no words to face the successive generations of founding patriarchs."

"Now, my only hope is to rebuild the orthodoxy of the Xun Wind Divine Ridge lineage and ensure our heritage is passed on. Only then could I rest with a smile in the nine springs [a poetic term for the afterlife]."

As he spoke, he drew from his robes an exquisitely crafted, miniature pavilion and handed it to Eldrin Chen.

"This is the Scripture Repository of my Xun Wind Divine Ridge. When I was forced to depart in those bygone days, I lacked the strength to salvage our many treasures. I only had time to hastily secure this Scripture Repository [a portable repository containing the core scriptures and knowledge of a sect]."

"My hope is that once the Xun Wind Divine Ridge is restored, you will find a suitable successor on my behalf and ensure the Dao-path of the Galewind Divine Palace is passed down through the generations."

Eldrin Chen fell into a long silence. After what felt like an age, he firmly accepted the Scripture Repository pavilion. With a sigh, he said, "Rest assured, Senior. Once the Xun Wind Divine Ridge sees the light of day again, I will find a true inheritor for your lineage."

"With this, my heart is at ease."

Galewind the Ancient Ancestor let out a sigh of relief, then spoke: "That Galewind's Eye [a legendary, perilous vortex of wind] can dissolve the soul and erode the bones. Even a Demigod Ancestor [a cultivator who has transcended mortality and attained a semi-divine state] caught within it would have their spirit scattered and perish in less than the time it takes for three incense sticks to burn."

"Although this old man is one whose time is near, I possess an object that can counter the Wind [a malevolent wind formation]."

As his words fell, a small, azure-hued spiritual pearl flew from his hand.

At the moment the pearl appeared, ethereal Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles governing reality and cultivation] and Dao Patterns [intricate patterns symbolizing cosmic truths] swirled through the void, astonishingly freezing all the ambient energies of heaven and earth in place.

Galewind the Ancient Ancestor gazed at the azure pearl, his expression tinged with profound reluctance. "This object is named the Wind-Calming Pearl [a treasure capable of pacifying chaotic winds and energies]. It is a Quasi-Immortal [a treasure grade approaching the level of immortal artifacts] supreme treasure I obtained by a stroke of fate."

"It can stabilize the breath of heaven and earth and suppress the malignant miasma of the Wind. It is a rare and extraordinary Spiritual Treasure [a powerful enchanted artifact imbued with spiritual power] of the esoteric arts."

"After you refine and attune to this treasure, you may enter the Galewind's Eye to cultivate. If you feel even the slightest hint of danger, activate this pearl to resist the power of the Wind. It will surely afford you a sliver of respite to catch your breath." For more chapters, visit AUDIO-NOVEL.COM for the complete novel.
