Chapter 560 The Completion of the Law

"It is done!"

Eldrin finally spoke, his tone resolute beyond measure.

The power of the Pure Yang Heavenly Flame blazed with magnificent brilliance, its domineering nature unparalleled in all the world.

This law ranks among the strongest of the 1 100 and 8 flame laws across all heavens, capable of placing within the top 3.

Compared to ordinary laws of fire, this flame was far more domineering. Cultivated to its ultimate extent, it could even evolve into the Great Dao, enabling a breakthrough to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

Eldrin (Person Name) had cultivated arduously for over 4,000 years—studying divine powers, comprehending esoteric forces, drawing insights from hundreds of schools of thought, and even glimpsing into the power of the Departing Fire Vermilion Bird. He had long since grasped the principles of the Pure Yang Celestial Flames, standing merely 1 step away from ultimate mastery.

Until this very day, he finally grasped a spark of inspiration from the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure), mending the final flaw in the Primordial Sun Heavenly Fire's dao principle. Thus, he fully cultivated the embryonic form of the Primordial Sun Heavenly Fire's law into completion.

With 4 1000 years of accumulated foundation and fruition, transforming into a cocoon and emerging as a butterfly in a single dawn, he ultimately grasped the power of Laws.

Chen Changxuan murmured to himself, an overwhelming ecstasy rising in his heart.

How arduous is the path for a cultivator seeking immortality! Throughout the annals of the Violet Realm, those capable of comprehending the power of laws have been peerless prodigies emerging but once in 10 1000 years.

Eldrin not only achieved an immortal body, but also comprehended the power of laws. With such profound foundations, even if he were to attain immortality in an instant, he would possess the potential to become a Celestial Immortal in the future—at the very least, a figure of Earth Immortal Patriarch caliber.

At this thought, Chen Changxuan couldn't help but stroke his beard in profound contentment. "Seeing you attain the Dao brings this old man immense solace," he spoke with heartfelt emotion.

"If I could 1 day witness your ascension, this old man could close his eyes in peace even in death."

"What are you talking about, Elder Uncle?"

Eldrin chuckled and shook his head, grasping Chen Changxuan’s hand firmly. “Elder Uncle, your cultivation has now reached the realm of grasping the mysteries of creation. You have at least 30 to 40 1000 years of life ahead of you.”

"If I ascend to immortality 1 day, I shall return to guide you across the celestial threshold. Who knows—within the boundless immortal realms, there may yet be an opportunity for you to achieve immortality."

"There is no need to console me."

Chen Changxuan chuckled softly and shook his head. "Ascending to immortality is no trivial matter," he said. "This old man lacks sufficient foundation, and my entire cultivation journey and Dao fruits are anchored to this Inferno Abyss. In this lifetime, I'm afraid achieving immortality is beyond my reach."

Eldrin (Person Name) fell silent upon hearing this, ultimately choosing not to speak further.

He extinguished the Pure Yang Celestial Flames and rose to his feet. "Now that I've mastered the Pure Yang Celestial Flames, I intend to visit the Sea of Extinguished Spirit 1 of these days to seek the legacy of the Void-Refining Immortal."

"This matter is not urgent."

Chen Changxuan, however, shook his head and produced a letter. "The Purple God Fruit is nearly ripe," he said. "The Master of the Heavenly Dao Temple has sent this letter, requesting your presence to take charge of the situation."

"Oh?"

Eldrin’s brow twitched faintly as he took the letter. With a brief glance, he grasped the full context of the situation.

The Violet God Tree was the foremost divine tree of the Violet Realm, blooming only once every 1000 years, bearing fruit only once every 1000 years, and then requiring yet another 1000 years to ripen.

Once matured, it yields a single Purple God Fruit, an incredibly profound treasure said to increase a Nascent Soul Dao Lord’s chances of attaining Dao Fruit Immortality by 30 percent.

Most Demigod Ancestors (Cultivation Realm) of the Violet Realm possessed limited innate talent and lacked confidence in surviving the Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation, thus they had never contended for the Violet God Fruit throughout the ages.

Therefore, the candidates to consume the Purple God Fruit are selected from the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) within the Purple Realm, typically chosen from among those at the 9th layer of the Primordial Spirit.

Once again, the Violet God Fruits were about to ripen. The various Nascent Soul Dao Lords of the Violet Realm dared not bypass Eldrin to distribute them privately, and thus sought to invite Eldrin to take charge of the situation.

"I recall 3 1000 years ago, when the last Violet God Fruit ripened, I was still a junior at the Nascent Soul stage."

"Little did I expect that this time, the responsibility of steering the ship would fall upon me."

After reading the letter, Eldrin (Person Name) couldn't help but shake his head with a wry chuckle.

Seeing this, Chen Changxuan, who was standing nearby, also nodded with a smile. "The last Purple Divinity Fruit was ultimately obtained by Daoist Kunxuan, who used it to cultivate a Demi-Immortal Dao Fruit."

"By seniority and strength, within the Violet Realm today, aside from my Chen Family, only Lin Tianqi (Person Name) would be qualified to claim it."

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this. Setting aside the Chen Immortal Clan, Lin Tianqi possessed the deepest foundations and influence within the Violet Realm. His combat prowess was nearly unrivaled even among Ninth-Level Spirit Severation cultivators.

However, the Chen Clan was now the strongest immortal family in the Violet Realm, though neither Eldrin nor Lyra could surpass them in power.

Having only recently broken through to the eighth level of the Nascent Soul realm, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) and the Verdant Princess might be slightly weaker than him in combat prowess. However, should they reach the same cultivation stage, they would likely prove no less formidable than Lin Tianqi (Person Name).

Thus, the matter of how to handle this Violet God Fruit gave Eldrin quite the headache.

Although both he and Lyra possessed foundations that rendered the Purple God Fruit unnecessary, this treasure was nevertheless vital to Aoki and Seraphina Qu.

Eldrin pondered deeply for a moment, then summoned Qing Ji and Seraphina Qu. "Lin Tianqi has fought for the human race for many years," he said. "Over 10 1000 years, he has slain over 20 Primordial Spirit Demons, rendering monumental service to the Violet Realm."

"The reason you and I have survived to this day is inextricably linked to his unwavering defense of the Eastern Wastelands and the Eastern Sea."

"In that case, it seems we owe him quite a substantial favor as well."

Eldrin (Person Name) spoke with measured grace before declaring, "Thus, for this Violet God Fruit, I intend to assign it to Lin Tianqi."

Hearing this, a flicker of light passed through both their eyes. Qingji immediately chuckled, "Husband, do not underestimate me. Even without the aid of that Violet God Fruit, this humble wife can still attain enlightenment and ascend to immortality."

Seraphina Qu (Person Name) also nodded gently before speaking, "Since my husband has made his decision, I shall naturally abide by your wishes."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin couldn't help but glance at the 2 of them, feeling a faint warmth in his heart.

Between the 2, Qing Ji was in a better position. He had long prepared the Lunar Immortal Jade for her, and with the assistance of the Azure Lotus Seed for her breakthrough in the future, her chances of attaining immortality were as sure as 9 out of 10.

Even if she were given this Violet God Fruit, it would merely be adding flowers to brocade, not sending charcoal in snowy weather.

But Seraphina Qu (Person Name) was different. Although she was born from a 7-colored Immortal Clam, and in theory should have been able to reach the realm of immortality by following a step-by-step cultivation path,

The environment in the mortal realm differed greatly from the immortal realm, lacking the essential immortal energy and various resources. Naturally, the difficulty of her breakthrough was immensely formidable.

It was precisely for this reason that even legendary immortals of unparalleled talent, such as the Black Tortoise Ancestor (Person Name), the Kunpeng Demon Sage (Person Name), and the Black Dragon Demon Progenitor (Person Name), had not a single 1 succeeded in ascending to immortality to this day.

Now, without the aid of this Violet God Fruit, Seraphina Qu's certainty of attaining immortality in the mortal realm has greatly diminished.

Today, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) refrained from competing for the Purple God Fruit entirely out of consideration for me.

With this thought in mind, Eldrin drew both women into his embrace and said tenderly, "Do not worry. Even if you cannot achieve immortality in the mortal world, I will never abandon you."

"Even shouldering the karmic burden of defying heaven itself, I shall ascend with all of you to the 9 Heavens Immortal Realm."

Seraphina Qu (Person Name) lifted her head, her bright eyes reflecting the peerless celestial figure, and felt a subtle warmth blossom in her heart.

Without another word, she simply held him quietly, leaning into his embrace.

Chapter 1 The biting cold wind howled through the mountain pass, carrying with it the scent of blood and decay. A young man in tattered blue robes knelt amidst the snow, his breathing ragged. Crimson stained the pure white ground around him, a stark contrast to the pallor of his face. "Lin Ming (Person Name), hand over the legacy jade slip, and I might grant you a swift death." A tall figure clad in black robes emerged from the shadows of the pine trees, his voice dripping with condescension. A faint, malevolent purple aura coiled around his right hand – the Profound Yin Finger (Cultivation Technique). Lin Ming coughed, a trickle of blood escaping the corner of his lips. Yet, his eyes burned with an unyielding fire. "Eldrin (Person Name), do you truly believe the legacy of the Fallen Star Sage (Cultivation Title) is something a mere Outer Sect disciple like you can possess?" "Hah! A cripple from the decimated Lin Clan, still putting on airs?" Eldrin sneered, taking a step forward. The pressure of his Qi Condensation Realm, 7th Layer, caused the snow at his feet to swirl violently. "That jade slip is worth over 50,000 spirit stones on the black market! Did you think I, Eldrin, would let such a treasure slip away after tracking you for 3 months?" Lin Ming's hand unconsciously tightened around the simple spatial ring on his finger. Within it lay the jade slip that recorded the complete cultivation method of the [9 Revolutions Starsoul Art (Cultivation Method)], the very reason his clan was destroyed. He had fled for thousands of miles, only to be cornered here at the Northern Frost Ridge. "Then let's see if you can take it!" Lin Ming roared, suddenly springing forward. He had long since burned his essence blood, and his cultivation at the Qi Condensation Realm, 5th Layer, was unstable. But the will to survive erupted from the depths of his soul. He formed a hand seal with both hands, and the faint golden light of spiritual power gathered into a shimmering, semi-transparent short sword – the Soul Severing Spike (Secret Technique). "Oh? The Lin Clan's forbidden technique? A desperate struggle!" Eldrin's expression turned serious. He knew the Soul Severing Spike could damage an opponent's soul, a fearsome technique that consumed the user's lifespan. He did not dare to be careless. The purple aura around his right hand intensified as he thrust his finger forward. "Profound Yin Finger, shatter!" Boom! The golden light and the purple aura collided, creating a shockwave that sent snow and rocks flying in all directions. The nearby ancient pine trees trembled, their branches snapping under the force. "Ugh!" Lin Ming was sent flying backward, crashing heavily against a cliff face. Fresh blood gushed from his mouth. The difference of 2 minor layers was like an insurmountable chasm. Eldrin, too, staggered back half a step, a trace of shock flashing in his eyes. "To think you still have such power while injured! You truly don't deserve death by my Profound Yin Finger. I'll use this treasure to send you on your way!" He flicked his sleeve, and a fiery red short sword appeared in his hand. The sword body was engraved with coiling dragon patterns, and it emitted a scorching heat that melted the snow within a 10-foot radius. "The Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure)!" Lin Ming's heart sank. This was a high-grade magic treasure Eldrin had obtained by chance. With this sword, Eldrin's combat power could rival that of an ordinary 8th Layer Qi Condensation cultivator. There was absolutely no way he could win. "Die!" Eldrin shouted, channeling spiritual power into the sword. The Li Fire Sword erupted into dazzling crimson flames, transforming into a fiery python that shot towards Lin Ming's forehead. Is this the end? The intense heat scorched his eyebrows. Lin Ming closed his eyes in despair, a wave of bitterness washing over him. The great vengeance of his annihilated clan, the profound legacy of the Fallen Star Sage... was it all going to end here? Just as the fiery python was about to strike him, the simple spatial ring on his finger suddenly grew scorchingly hot! Buzz— A soft, almost inaudible hum resonated. Time seemed to freeze. The roaring fiery python, Eldrin's ferocious expression, the swirling snowflakes in the air... everything came to a standstill. A vast, ancient, and supremely majestic consciousness descended from the ring, sweeping through Lin Ming's mind. [Host's life force at critical levels... Soul resonance detected... Qualifies for inheritance...] [Initiating fusion of the Heavenly Destiny System (Mysterious Treasure)... 1%... 15%... 50%...] Countless mysterious golden runes flooded Lin Ming's sea of consciousness, forming a complex and profound interface before his spiritual sense. [Heavenly Destiny System binding successful.] [Host: Lin Ming] [Cultivation: Qi Condensation Realm, 5th Layer (Severely Injured, Essence Blood Depleted)] [Cultivation Method: 9 Revolutions Starsoul Art (Uninitiated)] [Destiny Points: 0] [Available Functions: Status Panel, Mission Board, System Shop (Locked), Cultivation Simulator (Locked)...] Lin Ming was stunned. Before he could process what was happening, a cold, mechanical voice echoed again. [Ding! Host's first login detected. Issuing Newcomer Gift Pack...] [Received: Low-grade Healing Pill x 3, Low-grade Spirit Stone x 100, Basic Sword Intent Comprehension (1-time Use).] Whoosh! The frozen time resumed its flow. The fiery python roared as it closed in, but Lin Ming's eyes were no longer filled with despair. Instead, they shone with a sharp, piercing light. He instinctively reached out. A simple, unadorned long sword appeared in his hand – a low-grade magic treasure he had used before his injury. At the same time, that strand of Basic Sword Intent Comprehension instantly merged with his soul. A profound and razor-sharp intent erupted from his body. The sword in his hand was no longer just a sword; it felt like an extension of his own arm, an integral part of his soul. "Break!" Lin Ming shouted softly. He didn't use any fancy sword technique, merely a simple, straight thrust. Swiish! A faint, almost imperceptible sword gleam shot out. It was not dazzling, nor did it carry any overwhelming aura. It was thin, sharp, and incredibly fast, like a needle piercing through cloth. Pfft! The seemingly unstoppable fiery python was pierced through the head by this faint sword gleam. The raging flames instantly dissipated, and the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss dimmed, falling to the ground with a clatter. "How... how is this possible?!" Eldrin's eyes widened in utter disbelief, his face a mask of shock. "Sword... Sword Intent?! You've comprehended Sword Intent?!" A mere Qi Condensation Realm, 5th Layer cultivator, and a severely injured 1 at that, had actually comprehended the Sword Intent that countless Foundation Establishment cultivators could only dream of! This defied all common sense! Lin Ming didn't answer. That single thrust had drained the last of his spiritual power. He leaned on his sword, panting heavily, but his gaze remained as sharp as a blade, fixed coldly on Eldrin. Eldrin's face twisted violently. Fear, greed, and killing intent warred within him. Comprehending Sword Intent at the Qi Condensation Realm! This Lin Ming absolutely could not be left alive! Furthermore, that strange power he had just displayed... there must be an even greater secret on him! "Good! Very good! Lin Ming, you've given me too many surprises!" Eldrin laughed maniacally, a trace of madness in his eyes. "I'll capture you alive and use the Soul-Searching Technique to uncover all your secrets!" He formed seals with both hands, and the spiritual power around him began to churn violently. A dark, swirling vortex slowly materialized behind him, emanating a sinister, soul-devouring aura – the Profound Soul Devouring Art (Cultivation Technique), a forbidden technique even within the sect! Lin Ming's heart tightened. He was completely drained; he couldn't even muster the strength for another thrust. Was he still going to die? Just as Eldrin was about to unleash his technique, a clear, cold voice, like jade beads falling onto a plate, sounded from high above the cliff. "Using the forbidden Soul-Searching Technique on a fellow disciple. Eldrin, have you no fear of the sect's laws?"
