Chapter 1062 : The Heavenly Eye's Divine Birth
Not long after Lila gave birth to her child, Yvonne the Violet Consort also delivered a son.
This Second Son, nourished in the womb by the Soul-Enlightening Pearl [a mystical pearl that enlightens the soul and senses], had his eye apertures opened and astonishingly grew a third eye upon his brow.
This filled Eldrin Chen with profound shock, for this eye was known as the Heavenly Eye [a supreme divine eye capable of extraordinary perception]. Not only was its power formidable, but it could also see through the Six Paths [the six realms of existence in Buddhist cosmology], perceive distances far and near, directions above and below, what lies ahead and behind, the internal and the external, and even glimpse fragments of the future.
It was the most divine and miraculous of supreme divine eyes, worthy of being mentioned alongside other peerless eyes like the Heaven-Opening Double Pupils [twin pupils said to have the power to open the heavens] and the Fiery Golden Eyes [eyes of blazing golden light], and was arguably even slightly superior.
For instance, while the Fiery Golden Eyes are ranked alongside the Heavenly Eye, they fear smoke and choking fumes, and the Celestial Mountain has fatal flaws, unable to match the flawless perfection of the Heavenly Eye.
The Second Son not only possessed the Heavenly Eye, but was also exceptionally intelligent. Following the Clan Genealogy [the official record of the clan's lineage and naming conventions], Eldrin Chen bestowed upon him the second generational character, 'Dao' [meaning 'the Way' or 'path'], naming him Xander Chen.
Several decades later, the child within Nyssa Qu's womb was born into the world.
This child was born accompanied by the Companion Spirit Treasure [a magical treasure that forms a bond with its wielder from birth] known as the 'Thirty-Three Sea-Steadying Divine Pearls' [a set of thirty-three divine pearls renowned for their power to calm the seas], making his combat prowess the greatest among the three brothers.
As was customary, Eldrin Chen consulted the Clan Genealogy and, taking the third generational character, 'Chang' [meaning 'long' or 'enduring'], named him Orion Chen.
After the birth of his three sons, Eldrin Chen ceased his secluded cultivation. Instead, he personally instructed them each day, savoring the simple joys of family life. This content originates from https://audio-novel.com. Please respect copyright.
On this day, Eldrin Chen stood before the Cultivation Cave [a secluded chamber for meditation and energy refinement], gazing upon his three children before him. A look of deep satisfaction graced his features as he gave a slow, approving nod.
Among the three youths, the eldest, Xander Chen, was merely a little over a century old, yet his cultivation had already reached the Golden Core Ninth Layer [the ninth and final stage of the Golden Core realm]. The second son, Caspian Chen, had also attained the Eighth Layer of the Golden Core Realm.
The third son, Caelan Chen, was only eighteen years of age, yet his cultivation had already soared to the Purple Mansion [the realm of spiritual energy condensation following Foundation Establishment]. Each of them could rightfully be hailed as possessing peerless, heaven-defying talent.
This was despite Eldrin Chen's strict orders for them to meticulously solidify their foundations. Otherwise, Xander Chen would likely have already broken through to Nascent Soul [the realm where one's spiritual essence forms an independent, immortal soul].
This served as a testament to the terrifying, innate potential of such Immortal Progeny [children born to immortal parents, possessing extraordinary cultivation aptitude from birth].
Such beings were born at the pinnacle of mortal aspiration. By cultivating diligently step-by-step, they could inevitably reach the Ninth Layer Nascent Soul realm.
Only the monumental barrier of Ascending to Immortality [the final tribulation to transcend mortality and become a true immortal] could truly halt their progress. Surmounting it would allow them to Ascending to Immortality and attain the Dao [the ultimate path of enlightenment]. Failing to cross it, however, would render them no different from ordinary mortals.
Eldrin Chen looked upon the trio, and a profound sense of paternal pride warmed his heart.
Among these three, the eldest son, Xander Chen, possessed a character of unyielding righteousness and sharp intensity. His aura was the most domineering and awe-inspiring, causing even his younger brothers to hold a measure of respectful fear towards him.
The second son, Caspian Chen, was exceptionally handsome and noble. He cherished the pursuit of knowledge, often found immersed in books for long periods. His approach to cultivation was balanced, neither overly lax nor excessively strenuous, making him the most steady and composed of the three brothers.
"Only these three sons."
Eldrin Chen cast a glance at Caelan Chen and could not help but shake his head.
The child had inherited seven parts of his father's handsome features and a touch of the otherworldly, sacred allure from Nyssa Qu, making him exceedingly dashing and charismatic, with a personality that leaned towards the amorous.
Now, at merely eighteen years of age, he already had seven or eight female cultivators, bellies swollen, seeking him out at his doorstep.
Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen felt a surge of anger he could scarcely contain.
"Enough, enough. Consider it adding to the family's numbers," he sighed.
Eldrin Chen suppressed his fury, shooting Caelan Chen a sharp glare, and prepared to examine the cultivation progress of all three.
Yet, at that very moment, from beyond Verdant Chariot Mountain, a figure brimming with imposing aura came striding through the air.
"Eldrin, the Abyss, are you present?"
"Six Stars Immortal? What brings him here?"
Eldrin Chen's expression faltered slightly. He immediately soared into the sky, only to find Six Stars Immortal looking utterly furious.
Beside Six Stars Immortal, a stunningly beautiful young maiden stood with her head bowed, her cheeks flushed crimson with embarrassment.
A sudden, uneasy premonition gripped Eldrin Chen's heart. He quickly cupped his hands in a respectful salute and said, "Fellow Daoist Six Stars, what matter has transpired? Let us speak calmly."
Six Stars Immortal merely snorted coldly and, without a word, flew directly towards Verdant Chariot Mountain.
Once they had ascended Guest-Welcoming Peak, Eldrin Chen personally poured a cup of tea for Six Stars Immortal before he could no longer restrain himself from asking, "Fellow Daoist, what brings you here today?"
"Hmph!" This novel is serialized on audio . novel . com. Visit for updates.
Six Stars Immortal's face remained icy as he glanced at the young woman beside him. "This is my youngest daughter, Luna Yue. Summon your third son. Let him explain what he has done."
"This..."
Eldrin Chen's heart sank. He had a fair idea of what this was about.
He summoned Caelan Chen. After a brief confrontation between the two, Eldrin Chen quickly understood the whole story from beginning to end.
Indeed, as Eldrin Chen had anticipated, Luna Yue was actually pregnant with Caelan Chen's child.
This left Eldrin Chen utterly astonished, for Luna Yue and Caelan Chen had met only twice in total.
This Six Stars Immortal had sired six sons and one daughter in his lifetime. Although the first six sons were all Immortal Infant [a constitution of immense potential, born with the essence of an immortal], none had succeeded in Ascending to Immortality [transcending the mortal realm to become a true immortal], which remained the greatest regret in Six Stars Immortal's heart.
Luna Yue was Six Stars Immortal's youngest daughter. Now merely three hundred years old, her cultivation had already reached the Nascent Soul Realm [the realm where a cultivator's spiritual essence condenses into an infant-like soul], and she was also Six Stars Immortal's most cherished child.
The two had met on two occasions. The first was eighteen years ago, when Caelan Chen was born; Six Stars Immortal brought Luna Yue to offer congratulations.
The second time was two years prior, when Luna Yue broke through to the Nascent Soul realm. Eldrin Chen sent Caelan Chen to broaden his horizons and deliver a congratulatory gift.
Unexpectedly, after this encounter, Caelan Chen and Luna Yue took a liking to each other. They met in secret several times thereafter, and to everyone's surprise, Luna Yue ended up with child.
This was almost unbelievable. Caelan Chen was merely a Purple Mansion Cultivator [a cultivator whose spiritual energy is housed in a refined, palace-like core within the dantian], yet he had managed to impregnate a Nascent Soul True Lord [an honorific title for a powerful cultivator of the Nascent Soul realm]. This left Eldrin Chen somewhat unprepared.
Yet, upon deeper reflection, it was not entirely unforeseen. The children of Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality and achieved eternal life] were often raised in sheltered environments. Luna Yue, doted upon by Six Stars Immortal, had been coddled like a precious treasure, shielded from any hardship and with little exposure to the world's cruelties.
Caelan Chen had inherited seven parts of Eldrin Chen's striking appearance and was the trueborn son of an Immortal, possessing the Exiled Immortal Bearing [a transcendent, otherworldly aura and demeanor]. Luna Yue, being somewhat naive and tender, was accustomed to a life of flattery and deference. Suddenly encountering someone as unique as Caelan Chen, it was almost predictable that she would be captivated at first sight.
Yet Six Stars Immortal could no longer sit still. After a single session of secluded cultivation, he emerged to find his precious daughter with a swollen belly. Naturally enraged, he stormed to their doorstep demanding an explanation.
"You unfilial son!"
Eldrin Chen was also furious. Snatching up the Ruler, he gave Caelan Chen a sound thrashing.
But before Six Stars Immortal could utter another word, Luna Yue could bear it no longer. She took her father's hand and pleaded, "Father!"
"Hmph!"
Seeing his daughter's plea, Six Stars Immortal let out a cold snort, his face stern and unyielding.
Eldrin Chen seized the offered chance to step down. He personally poured a cup of tea for Six Stars Immortal and said with utmost courtesy, "You have traveled far, honored in-law. Let us now discuss the marriage arrangements."
A long while later, Six Stars Immortal departed, thoroughly satisfied, with his daughter in tow.
Eldrin Chen escorted him all the way beyond the shores of Green Chariot Island. Only then did his smile vanish, replaced by a stern glare fixed upon Caelan Chen. "You certainly have remarkable skill," he said, his voice low. "And audacity to match!"
"Father... you cannot place all the blame on me."
Caelan Chen hung his head, his voice tinged with dejection.
Eldrin Chen understood perfectly well. Caelan Chen was merely a Purple Mansion Cultivator [a cultivator who has established their spiritual foundation within the Purple Mansion realm], utterly incapable of traversing the boundless seas to seek out Luna Yue.
It was far more likely that she had pursued him relentlessly, leading to this entangled predicament.
At this thought, Eldrin Chen's expression softened slightly. "I shall handle today's affair for you," he said. "But from now on, you must learn restraint."
"A man's conduct in life must first and foremost be governed by responsibility. Before you act, consider this: can you bear the consequences of your deeds?" This content originates from audio-novel . com. Please respect copyright.
