Chapter 975 Sunken Abyss Divine Iron, Reforging the Immortal Sword

After recounting the events of bygone days, the Void Refining Immortal cast a glance at Eldrin and remarked with a light laugh, "I perceive within you a trace of overwhelming sword intent lying dormant."

"This sword intent resembles violet flames scorching the heavens, as if possessing the power to tear apart the firmament and shatter the earth. It must be the legendary Violet Flame Immortal Gold."

"From this perspective, the calculations I made back then were indeed accurate."

The Void-Refining Immortal revealed a faint smile. With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned the Abyssal Divine Iron and handed it to Eldrin. "Should you forge this into an immortal sword," he said, "it shall form a pair with the Violet Flame Immortal Sword."

"If the 2 swords could be united, our chances of quelling this calamity would be far greater."

Eldrin carefully accepted the Abyssal Divine Iron, his expression turning solemn as he spoke, "Senior devoted tens of thousands of years to nurturing this piece of Abyssal Divine Iron, yet I receive it without having contributed anything. I truly feel unworthy of such a treasure."

"Ha ha ha!"

The Void-Refining Immortal laughed heartily and spoke with remarkable nonchalance, "Since the Abyssal God-Iron (Divine Material) was exiled along with the Violet Realm, even my true self cannot locate its whereabouts. It seems this treasure was never destined to be mine."

"Entrusting it to you is simply putting it to its proper use."

"I only hope that after obtaining this treasure, you may forge an immortal sword to quell the great calamity. In doing so, it shall be as if you have repaid the nurturing grace of the Violet Abyss on my behalf."

Eldrin listened quietly until he finished speaking, then still bowed and cupped his hands in salute. "Senior, this Abyssal God-Iron holds immense significance for me."

"If we ever meet again in the immortal realm, I shall repay this debt of gratitude."

The Void-Refining Immortal gave a noncommittal smile and did not delve further into the topic.

He lifted his head, gazing into the boundless depths of the void as if perceiving the demonic abyss enveloping the Violet Realm. A trace of solemnity unconsciously settled between his brows.

"The tribulation aura in the Violet Realm grows ever more profound, I fear overcoming it will not be easy."

"That Outer Realm Demon God is probably growing restless. To prevent a desperate, all-out assault, you must make preparations early."

Eldrin’s brow furrowed slightly, and after a moment, he nodded. “Rest assured, Senior. I will naturally spare no effort in dealing with the Outer Realm Demonic Gods.”

"Hmm, very well." The Void-Refining Immortal nodded slightly, speaking with a trace of regret: "It's a pity my true form cannot locate the Purple Realm's coordinates. Otherwise, I would certainly descend to the mortal plane and lend you a hand."

At this point in his words, the figure of the Refined Void Immortal had already begun to fade away.

Since his true self ascended to the immortal realm, this wisp of divine consciousness had become a rootless duckweed, destined to fade away from the very moment it awakened.

Now that the mission has been accomplished, this wisp of divine sense incarnation no longer has any reason to exist.

The Void-Refining Immortal gave a nod toward Eldrin, unable to suppress a chuckle as he remarked, "The immortal realms within the Celestial Realm are as boundless as the stars—it is far from certain that we would ascend to the same 1."

“Yet by attaining immortality, 1 gains a lifespan as eternal as heaven and earth. I believe our paths shall cross again someday.”

"I hope when we meet again, you will bring me good tidings of the Violet Realm's safety."

"Senior, set your heart at ease." Eldrin gave a firm nod, his voice resolute. "With me here, the Violet Abyss shall not fall."

"In that case, I can rest easy."

Seeing him make such a vow, the Manifestation of the Refined Void Immortal finally offered a faint smile before dissipating into the wind within the grand hall.

As the Divine Sense of the Void Refinement Immortal faded away, Eldrin finally withdrew his focus.

He cast a glance around the vast hall before turning to Dorian (Person Name) and said, "This East Sea Abyssal Eye was left behind by a Void Refinement senior of ancient times. By right, it should belong to the Ji bloodline."

Dorian smiled faintly upon hearing this, offering no verbal refusal.

This East Sea Abyssal Eye was left behind by a Void Refinement Immortal, and had always been deeply connected to the Ji Clan.

Moreover, its grade had reached the quasi-immortal level, making it a supreme blessed land even for the Ji Clan—naturally, there was no reason to turn it away.

Having obtained a top-tier training ground in the Violet Realm, Dorian felt immense delight in his heart. In high spirits, he first glanced at Eldrin, then directed his gaze toward the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss in his hand and said:

"This Abyssal God Iron is 9 Heavens Immortal Iron, refining it is no easy task. Are you confident you can refine it?"

"I have a fair degree of confidence." Eldrin nodded, gazing at the Abyssal Divine Iron. "Having mastered the Primordial Sunfire Law, I am now fully capable of refining this Abyssal Divine Iron."

"However, refining immortal iron is no simple task. I'm afraid this will require years of closed-door seclusion, during which I shall not emerge unless heaven-shattering events occur."

Dorian stood with his hands clasped behind his back, nodding calmly. "Focus on your refinement without worry. The Human Dao now flourishes in the Violet Realm—no disturbances shall arise."

"Then I can rest easy..."

After bidding farewell to Dorian, Eldrin did not linger in the Eastern Sea cultivation realm and returned to the Eastern Wastelands that very day.

Upon returning to the Eastern Wastelands (Location), Eldrin (Person Name) immediately headed to the Flaming Prison of Blazing Seas.

Before long, Lyra (Person Name) and Chen Changxuan arrived upon hearing the news and couldn't help asking with concern, "How did this journey go?"

"The Void-Refining Immortal had long foreseen today's calamity and prepared for me a piece of Abyssal Divine Iron."

Eldrin (Person Name) immediately responded, carefully retrieving the Abyssal Divine Iron.

The Elder Uncle could not contain his ecstasy and exclaimed, "With this Abyssal Divine Iron, your River of Heaven Water Sword finally has hope of advancement!"

"Hmm."

Lyra also nodded and said with a smile, "The immediate priority is to refine this Abyssal Divine Iron. Let me lend you a hand."

"There's no need for that. Your top priority should be cultivation."

Chen Changxuan, however, shook his head and spoke, "Let me assist you. I can channel the power of the Blazing Inferno to lend you a hand."

"The power of the Infernal Flame Sea."

Hearing this, Eldrin fell into a brief contemplation. Refining celestial iron was exceedingly difficult; though he possessed the Pure Yang Heavenly Flame, his own spiritual power remained insufficient.

Without external assistance, it would likely take him a full millennium to refine the Abyssal God Iron.

The old patriarch had entrusted his primordial spirit to the Inferno Fire Sea, enabling him to harness its power to lend him a hand.

With the aid of Old Uncle's manipulation of the fire elemental power from the Blazing Inferno, Eldrin's magical power became nearly inexhaustible. The might of the Pure Yang Heavenly Flames would be greatly enhanced, significantly accelerating the refinement process of the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss.

In contrast, although Lyra's Samadhi Fire was also extraordinary, it had not yet stepped into the realm of laws, so its assistance to him would likely not be significant.

At this thought, Eldrin nodded and said, "Then let us follow Elder Uncle's suggestion."

With Chen Changxuan's assistance, Eldrin immediately began refining the Divine Iron of the Abyss.

Harnessing the power of Pure Yang Celestial Flames, further amplified by the Infernal Abyss of Blazing Fire, he began to temper the Divine Abyssal Iron day and night with unyielding pride.

Thus time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, 3 100 years had passed.

Until this day, deep within the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire, Eldrin gazed at the treasured cauldron before him, his expression profoundly solemn.

Before him, inside the precious furnace, lay a radiant sword embryo and a mass of deep-blue liquid substance.

That liquid substance was precisely what Eldrin had spent 3 100 years refining from the Abyssal Divine Iron.

Now that the Abyssal God-Iron had been refined, the most crucial step remained—to fuse it with the Heavenly River Ren-Water Sword.
