Chapter 1021 Netherworld(Place)

At this thought, Eldrin mused thoughtfully, "There are still 60,000 years until the tribulation arrives. However, to successfully transcend it, we must begin preparations early." "Have no worry, Senior. When the tribulation descends, I will undoubtedly stand by your side."

The Void-Refining Immortal couldn't help but laugh heartily upon hearing this, promptly supporting Eldrin (Person Name) as he said, "We both walk the path of immortality, and our blood ties are distant at best. Let us regard each other as peers."

"It seems you must journey to the Netherworld to sever your mortal ties, and I presume you lack Spirit Votive Silver." "This piece of Spirit Votive Silver shall serve as my greeting gift to you."

As he spoke, he retrieved a stick of Incense Silver from his sleeve.

Eldrin (Person Name) froze momentarily before hurriedly waving his hand in refusal. "This treasure is far too precious. I am unworthy of such a gift."

"And to be perfectly honest, I already possess 1 unit of Faith Silver." "Oh."

Void-Refining Immortal was slightly taken aback, never expecting that Eldrin (Person Name), having just ascended to the immortal realm, already possessed a Devouring Flame Celestial Silver in his grasp.

It must be understood that Faith Silver is an exceedingly rare treasure. The Void-Refining Immortal has held dominion over Void-Refining Immortal Island for over 80,000 years, giving rise to an immortal lineage numbering in the hundreds of millions of cultivators, all of whom offer their devotional faith to sustain him.

Yet even so, he had only managed to condense a mere 1 or 2 Devouring Flame Heavenly Silvers. To think that Eldrin (Person Name) already possessed 1.

"It seems this Daoist of the Returning Abyss wields methods far more astonishing than anticipated."

"Could it be the aptitude of a Great Luo Celestial Lord?"

The Void-Refining Immortal murmured inwardly. Though Eldrin had not fully revealed the depths of his innate talents, he could roughly surmise the terrifying extent of Eldrin's potential.

At this thought, a faint glimmer stirred in the Void-Refining Immortal's eyes as they swept past Lila (Person Name), Violet Banquet Immortal, and Seraphina Qu (Person Name).

His heart stirred faintly, and after a mere instant, he said with a light laugh: "I observe that our fellow disciples possess extraordinary foundations—I daresay you have some grasp on the path to immortality."

"This incense silver can aid a cultivator in achieving immortality, so I shall lend it to you for now."

"Lend me..."

Eldrin felt a stir in his heart. Seeing the earnest expressions of Seraphina Qu, Lila, and the others, his resolve quietly settled. With a slight nod, he withdrew the Devouring Flame Celestial Silver and clasped his hands respectfully. "Senior, rest assured. This debt of gratitude shall be etched in my memory." "Hahaha."

Seeing that he had accepted the Incense Fire Celestial Silver, the Void-Refining Immortal laughed heartily before waving his hand and departing with an air of effortless grace.

After seeing off the Refined Void Immortal, Eldrin returned to the Green Abyss Island,

At this moment, all the immortals had departed from the celestial isle, restoring its pristine tranquility.

Eldrin arrived at the foot of the spirit mountain, leaning against the railings as he gazed upon the vast and boundless immortal realm, sinking into deep reminiscence. "My husband."

Just then, Lyra (Person Name) stepped forward and embraced him from behind, her expression tinged with emotion.

Having cultivated for thousands of years, they had weathered countless hardships to finally ascend as immortals, now securing a foothold in the celestial realm.

At this moment, they found rare tranquility in their hearts, leaning against each other as they quietly observed all living things between heaven and earth.

After a long while, Eldrin sat cross-legged by the cliff's edge, gazing at the rolling clouds and vast landscape below. With tranquil composure, he retrieved several items.

Lyra raised her gaze and discovered they were respectively: a tattered scroll, an immortal sword, a funerary urn, a single Verdant Leaf Sword, and the broken half of a Pure Yang Immortal Sword.

River of the Setting Sun Scroll, Daocheng Sword...

Gazing at the objects before her, Lyra couldn't help but murmur to herself.

Among the items before me, the tattered scroll is the Long River Sunset Painting left by Riverlord Chang (Person Name), while the immortal sword is naturally Jiang Huang’s Daocheng Immortal Sword. "At the moment the long river faded before the setting sun, a wisp of remnant soul was swept up by the tattered scroll and brought back to the Purple Slip Realm, falling into my hands." Now, this wisp of remnant soul has grown exceedingly faint, and I must journey to the underworld to aid its reincarnation.

Eldrin gazed at the Painting of the Setting Sun Over the Long River and murmured to himself, then shifted his gaze toward the Dao Ruins Sword and the fragmented Pure Yang Immortal Sword.

This sword was a pure Yang immortal treasure, within which resided the fragmented soul of Emperor Jiang. It was also the key to Emperor Jiang’s cycle of rebirth. The final incomplete immortal sword was the Vast Heaven Sword of the Vast Heaven Dao Lord. In the past, Vast Heaven Dao Lord had sacrificed his life to take on Eldrin (Person Name)’s heavenly tribulation, leaving only the broken sword, which was returned by Nether Ancestor Yuanming. The sword spirit within was already severely damaged, and it remained uncertain whether it could ever be revived. "With these treasures, the seniors may all have a chance at reincarnation."

Gazing upon these 3 treasures, Eldrin couldn't help but murmur to himself.

His gaze then fell upon the funerary urn and the Verdant Leaf Sword. Compared to the 3 treasures before them, these 2 objects were imbued with sparse spiritual essence.

The urn contained the ashes of Great-Uncle Chen Changyan, while the Verdant Leaf Sword was bestowed upon Eldrin (Person Name) by Seventh Uncle Chen Changqing on his deathbed.

Gazing at the funerary urn and the Verdant Leaf Sword before him, Eldrin remained silent for a long while before finally rising to his feet.

He opened the ossuary, his expression tinged with melancholy, and said, "Elder Changyan watched me grow up; he had always cherished and protected me since I was a child." "Back then, he died defending Spirit Isle Lake (Location), and his final wish was for me to ascend and become an immortal." "Now, I have fulfilled it."

Eldrin (Person Name) sighed softly, his eyes flickering with a trace of melancholy.

He scooped up a handful of ashes and scattered them between heaven and earth. "Great Uncle, I've achieved immortality. I've brought you to the immortal realm. Look—this celestial domain, boundless and vast, where immortal qi endures forever..."

The ashes drifted and scattered, dispersing into the boundless expanse between heaven and earth, transforming into dust and merging with the great soil.

In the darkness of the underworld script, there seemed to be emotions interwoven within, as if conveying a message to the vast expanse of the immortal realm.

Chen Changxing, a mere mortal realm cultivator, had also set foot here this day—

The heavens stretched vast and gray, the earth spread boundless and obscure. Upon a dimly lit path, countless souls trudged onward in a dazed procession. Along both sides of the road bloomed flowers, as if woven from crimson flowing flames, blazing with dazzling brilliance.

Beyond the trodden paths lay the Realm of Ghosts, where desolate mists stretched endlessly to the horizon. Yakshas roamed the skies, Ghost Kings roared across mountains and rivers, and boundless realms of nether darkness stretched into the abyss. *BOOM—*

At that very moment, a thunderous roar erupted from the void as the endless dark firmament was violently torn asunder.

A tall and erect figure of immense stature descended from beyond the heavens. Clad in pristine white robes, a silver immortal mark was etched between his brows, and an aura of celestial energy shrouded his form—a true immortal exiled from the Ninth Heaven. "Is this the very source of the eternal decay?"

Eldrin descended slowly from the void, his brow furrowing slightly as he gazed upon the boundless Netherwrite Abyss.

Though he had heard tales before, he was still stunned by the vastness of this purgatory-like realm.

This Netherworld Palace and the Glorious Immortal Domain are 2 sides of the same coin, the celestial yang and the nether yin. As vast as the Immortal Domain is, so too is this Netherworld Palace.

"It seems this Yuanming region is not to be underestimated either."

Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly as he recalled the Netherworld news he had inquired about.

In the boundless celestial realms, the 3 1000 Celestial Domains stand as the core. These domains drift within the primordial chaos—distinct yet immeasurably distant from 1 another.

Beyond the 3 1000 celestial domains, there exist 30-6 layers of heavens and 18 levels of Netherbanquet Hell.
