Chapter 959. Law Pure Yang Fire

Eldrin had guided him to slay the Blood Demon Ancestor so that he might emulate the ancient deeds of the Merciful Ferry Daoist—to purify this boundless filth from the Violet Realm’s heavens and earth.

The miasma of the Violet Realm was a supreme poison to heaven and earth, and its accumulation within the Bloodspring resembled stagnant blood trapped within a living body.

Originally, this was but a minor issue. However, as the Violet Realm was cast into the void, its injuries grew increasingly severe, and the stagnant blood accumulated ever more.

The demonic rift in the Violet Realm remained irreparable, torn open every 1000 years—a phenomenon partly rooted in this accumulation of stagnant blood.

If the stagnant blood from the Eastern Barrens Blood Spring isn't drained or transformed, this injury will persist like maggots gnawing at bones, never to be completely cured.

Today, Eldrin had sent him here with the sole purpose of completely purifying the Eastern Desolation Blood Spring, cleansing it of all turbid and foul energies.

Logically speaking, any cultivator in this world practicing the Pure Yang Dao Method should possess the ability to purify foul energy.

Yet this Eastern Sea Blood Spring was incomparably treacherous, teeming with boundless power of the Blood Sea within.

Low-level cultivators were simply incapable of entering its depths, and even high-level practitioners who could purify a portion of it found their efforts to be nothing more than a drop in the bucket compared to the vast Blood Sea.

Within the Violet Realm, only 2 individuals possessed the capability to undertake the transformation—Eldrin and Lyra.

Both of them cultivated Primordial Chaos spiritual power, capable of transforming various exotic energies. Indeed, if they were to expend tens of thousands of years, it would be possible to convert the Blood Spring into pure Yin origin energy.

Unfortunately, the cataclysm in the Violet Realm had not been completely resolved. To prevent the Outer Realm Demons from being driven to desperate actions, neither Eldrin nor Lyra could afford to delay for that long.

Under such circumstances, Ye Qingfeng became the most suitable candidate.

He possessed the Pure Yang Dao Body, 1 of the supreme primordial physiques between heaven and earth, capable of purifying all wicked karmic obstructions and subduing myriad forms of baleful energies and foul auras.

Moreover, Ye Qingfeng possessed all 5 spiritual roots. Though his comprehension was far inferior to Eldrin and even fell short of Lu Wenyuan, he was 1 of those rare souls whose wisdom appeared as folly. As the years accumulated, his grasp of arcane power accelerated with remarkable speed.

Although the backlash grew stronger after breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm when comprehending multiple arcane forces, there remained a sliver of possibility for him to grasp 5 distinct arcane forces.

Selecting him to purify the Blood Springs of the Eastern Wastelands could be considered 1 of the most fitting choices.

At this moment, Ye Qingfeng made a great vow—to never attain immortality until the Blood Spring was purified—and was immediately blessed with boundless heavenly fortune.

Empowered by this, Ye Qingfeng actually attained a state akin to the harmony of heaven and man. His comprehension of arcane forces accelerated severalfold, and he even began to feel a glimmer of confidence in mastering all 5 arcane forces.

"True progress in cultivation hinges on fate and serendipity. Secluding oneself indefinitely doesn't guarantee breakthroughs."

"This master is preparing to enter seclusion to comprehend the laws of dao. There happens to be a matter you could handle on my behalf."

Ye Qingfeng closed his eyes and suddenly recalled Eldrin's parting words, yet tears began streaming from his eyes.

"So it was for my sake that the Master schemed to obtain this path-establishing opportunity."

He knelt down facing the direction of Verdant Chariot Mountain (Location) and declared with utmost solemnity: "This disciple shall not fail our master's trust. I vow to purify the Blood Spring until it reaches a state of absolute clarity and purity."

"Until this is accomplished, this disciple shall never attain immortality!"

Meanwhile, deep within the Flaming Prison of Blazes, Eldrin (Person Name) opened his eyes with detached calm.

He cast a glance toward the Blood Sea of the Eastern Wastelands and gave a slight nod.

Seeing this, Chen Changxuan couldn't help but remark, "Qingfeng is a fine young man—composed in temperament and virtuous in character."

"To obtain such a rare opportunity and receive the blessing of celestial providence, his cultivation base is bound to advance by leaps and bounds."

"Within a millennium, 1 could reach the Ninth Layer of the Primordial Spirit, and within 2 1000 years, 1 should comprehend 5 types of secret forces."

Eldrin nodded, then shook his head and said, "But the power of the Blood Spring is difficult to purify completely. I'm afraid it might take him tens of thousands of years—perhaps even his entire lifespan—to possibly ascend."

"Given his level of comprehension, aspiring to cultivate a Great Perfection Foundation is nothing short of delusional. That you managed to secure this opportunity for him shows you've truly gone above and beyond."

Chen Changxuan shook his head and spoke, "The more I cultivate, the more I understand the importance of a solid foundation."

"Though my cultivation can now be considered rare among mortals, due to deficiencies in my foundation from earlier years, even expending a thousandfold effort would never allow me to ascend to immortality."

1 day, the higher his cultivation realm ascends, the more profoundly he will comprehend how pivotal the opportunity you have secured for him today truly is.

"I certainly hope so."

Eldrin smiled faintly, a flicker of anticipation stirring within him.

Over thousands of years of cultivation, Eldrin had only 2 true disciples: Ye Qingfeng and Lu Wenyuan. As for others like Chen Fusu and Gu Lanshan, they could at best be considered half-disciples.

Between these 2 individuals, Lu Wenyuan possessed the 4 Symbols Dao Body (Spiritual Root) and cultivated the 4 Symbols Dao Scripture created by Eldrin (Person Name), making him incapable of inheriting Eldrin (Person Name)'s true orthodox lineage.

The true inheritor of the orthodox lineage was, in fact, Ye Qingfeng (Person Name) alone.

In contrast, no matter how close others may be, they cannot inherit the legacy of Eldrin (Person Name). Unless they attain immortality and ascend to the Dao, they will inevitably return to dust and earth 1 day, leaving behind nothing but lingering sorrow in the end.

"This is the last thing I can do for him."

"Alas, perhaps 1 day we shall meet again in the Immortal Realm."

Eldrin let out a soft sigh and shook his head involuntarily.

Now he would have to comprehend the path of immortality on his own. Even if he were to attain enlightenment and ascend to immortality in the future, he would only assist a few Dao companions. As for his disciples and followers, this was the extent of the aid he could offer.

"Once I ascend to immortality, I must leave deeper foundations for my clan and disciples."

Eldrin murmured to himself once more, then shook his head with a soft laugh. "Enough. The day of ascension has not yet arrived. Why dwell on such thoughts now?"

"Grand Elder, I am preparing to enter seclusion to comprehend the Laws of Celestial Fire. I must trouble you to stand guard for me."

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, 3 60-year cycles had passed.

In the blink of an eye, the day of Eldrin's (Person Name) emergence from seclusion had arrived. On this day, he opened his eyes from deep meditation, a faint smile gracing his lips.

"Finally, it is done."

Gazing at the pure golden flames before him, Eldrin couldn't help but murmur under his breath.

Before Eldrin, a ball of exceedingly brilliant flame blazed like a resplendent sun, flawlessly round and seamless.

Within, countless laws intertwined and coiled, each strand possessing the power to incinerate all things.

Pure Yang Celestial Flame.

Chen Changxuan murmured softly from the side, gazing at the flame law before him, unable to suppress a flicker of pleasant astonishment in his expression.

The power of this Pure Yang Celestial Fire was far too overbearing. Even though Eldrin had completely restrained its might, the mere sliver of force he revealed was sufficient to pierce through an entire continent.

Chen Changxuan had a feeling that if this celestial flame were to erupt at full force, it would likely be enough to evaporate tens of millions of miles of vast oceans into a barren desert.

Even if a celestial or demon from the highest heavens were refined by this flame, they would undoubtedly perish on the spot.

Heart still racing, Chen Changxuan couldn't help but ask in disbelief, "Has it truly succeeded?"
