Chapter 1017 : A New Immortal's Mountain Feast

Just as mortals lay foundations and build dwellings, for an Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality and attained immortality], establishing a cultivation Path-Field [a personal domain for cultivation and seclusion] is also a significant and rare undertaking.

After Eldrin Chen took possession of Fire Mulberry Mountain, he selected an auspicious day and sent word to the major Immortal Isles [islands inhabited by powerful cultivators] in the surrounding area, announcing his intention to settle and cultivate there.

The Demon Race [a race of powerful, often malevolent, supernatural beings] and the Divine Spirits [powerful nature spirits or deities] had yet to make a move, but many islands within the Crimson Dragon Sea occupied by the Human Race began to stir.

On the day Eldrin Chen held his mountain-opening feast, even before the major Human Race Immortal Isles like Future arrived, over a hundred Primordial Spirit Cultivator [cultivators who have formed their Primordial Spirit, a core spiritual entity] from various Spirit Island [islands rich in spiritual energy] had arrived days in advance, each presenting gifts of extraordinary value.

And today, Fire Mulberry Island had already undergone a dramatic transformation.

The formerly disparate Demon Race Immortal Isles had now been reshaped into a scene of immortal grandeur. Mist wreathed the mountain peaks, and pavilions, terraces, and towers crafted from wondrous materials rose from the earth.

Even the paving stones underfoot faintly glowed with a white-jade light, clearly not objects from the Mortal Dust [the mortal world, the realm of ordinary humans].

Compared to the Mortal Dust, the Immortal Realm [the higher realm where immortals reside] was nourished by Immortal Spirit Essence [the pure, potent energy of the immortal realm]. Common Spiritual Object [objects imbued with or containing spiritual energy] were not rare here; many ordinary-looking rocks, if placed in the Mortal Realm, would be considered fine Spiritual Object.

Slightly valuable ores, or even the ubiquitous plants and trees, if cast down into the mortal world, would be enough to make Foundation Establishment [the second major stage of cultivation] and even Violet Sanctum Cultivator [cultivators of the third major stage] fight tooth and nail for them.

Yet within the Immortal Realm, for an Immortal like Eldrin Chen, these Spiritual Object held little to no practical use. Immerse yourself in the complete world at audio-novel`com.

After securing Fire Mulberry Mountain, Eldrin Chen employed immortal methods to gather materials locally. In a mere seven days, he had erected this majestic immortal palace complex.

"From now on, let this Fire Mulberry Island be renamed Green Chariot Island."

Gazing upon the imposing island before him, Eldrin Chen could not help but sigh as he spoke.

Since his ascension, the affairs of the Mortal Dust Affairs [the mundane world of mortals] were far behind him. The ancestral land of Green Chariot Mountain that had nurtured him was a place he could never return to.

Naming this island Green Chariot was a way to harbor a few threads of nostalgia for the bygone Green Chariot Mountain.

"My husband."

At that moment, Exquisite Jiang by his side spoke up in reminder.

Eldrin Chen lifted his head to see several figures of immortal grace and daoist bearing approaching through the distant void, treading upon the air itself.

"Immortals."

In a single ksana-time [an infinitesimal moment], the thought flashed through Eldrin Chen's mind.

With a graceful sweep of his long sleeve, he stepped forward onto the empty air, ascending with a leisurely pace. A faint smile graced his lips as he cupped his hands in greeting. "Esteemed fellow Immortals, you have journeyed from afar. I am remiss for not welcoming you sooner. My deepest apologies!"

"You are too courteous, Fellow Daoist."

A serene voice echoed from the void. "We are all Human Race Immortals [enlightened beings who have transcended mortality]. Within the bounds of the Crimson Dragon Sea, it is only natural that we should support one another."

From the void above, a chorus of harmonious voices descended.

Four Immortals strolled into view. The group consisted of an elder with an ethereal, sage-like bearing, a couple whose aura was truly Extraordinary, and finally, a man clad in white robes.

Eldrin Chen's gaze swept over the newcomers, lingering for a brief moment on the White-robed Man. A subtle gleam flickered in the depths of his eyes.

At that moment, the elder stepped forward through the air, his smile widening. "This old man is Six Stars Child. It is an honor to meet you, fellow Immortals."

"So it is Fellow Daoist Six Stars. The honor is ours."

Eldrin Chen exchanged a glance with Exquisite and the others before cupping his hands once more in acknowledgment.

The Six Stars Immortal gave a slight nod of his head and then proceeded to introduce the three other Immortals accompanying him.

Among the three Immortal [powerful beings who have transcended mortality through cultivation], that immortal couple were precisely the Violet Flame Immortal Maiden from Purple Feather Immortal Island and the Heavenly Feather Path Master.

As for the final White-robed Man, he was naturally the Void-Refining Immortal from Void-Refining Island.

"It is him, as expected."

Upon hearing the introduction from the Six Stars Immortal, Eldrin Chen's gaze flickered slightly as he exchanged a look with Exquisite Jiang.

Noticing this, the Void-Refining Immortal remarked thoughtfully, "Fellow Daoist, you seem to know of me?"

"Your reputation precedes you." Immerse yourself in the complete world at audio . novel . com.

Eldrin Chen replied calmly, about to say more when his brow suddenly furrowed.

He shook his head, his expression turning placid. "Today, we have unwelcome guests at our door. Other matters can wait. Allow me to first greet these visitors."

"That upstart Eldrin, you seized my clan's Fire Mulberry Island. Today, I have come to demand an accounting."

Before Eldrin Chen's words had fully faded, a voice echoed through the void.

The group looked up to see three Peerless Demon Immortal [a supreme realm for demonic cultivators, equivalent to the highest echelons of immortal power] striding through the void towards them.

"Three Demon Immortal [immortals of the demonic path] from the lineage of the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle [a mythical eagle wreathed in eternal crimson flames]."

Six Stars Immortal's eyes flickered, and he sent a voice transmission to Eldrin Chen: "The other two are of little concern, but the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor [the sovereign ruler of the Crimson Flame Divine Eagles] possesses Extraordinary cultivation. You must be cautious in dealing with him."

"My thanks for the warning."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod, his gaze shifting to the three Demon Immortal hovering in the void.

Among the three demonic beings, the leader stood tall and slender, his form wreathed in swirling crimson flames. Countless fiery plumes seemed to rise from him, making him appear as majestic and awe-inspiring as a Divine Spirits [a being of pure divine essence, born from the primal forces of the cosmos] forged from living flame.

This sight made Eldrin Chen wary. To manifest one's Path Principles [the fundamental laws and truths comprehended by a cultivator] as a protective mantle of flowing flame was an exceptionally profound technique.

It proved the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor's comprehension of the Crimson Flame Path Principles [the Dao principles governing crimson, everlasting flame] had reached a supremely deep level. One more step, and he might transcend the Ascendant Immortal Realm [the realm of immortals who have ascended beyond the mortal plane].

At that stage, such Path Principles Power [power derived from comprehending fundamental cosmic laws] would no longer be mere mundane, post-celestial Path Principles. It would be hailed by immortals as an World-Opening Art [a supreme art capable of cleaving open a new world or reality], possessing the terrifying, World-Opening [the primordial act of creation, splitting chaos to form a new world] power of genesis itself.

The Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor was still far from that pinnacle, yet the Path Principles he commanded had already brushed against the threshold of the Great Perfection Realm [the state of flawless mastery within a given realm]. He was an opponent not to be underestimated.

"With my Primordial One Limitless Path Principles, could I prevail against this demon?"

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, sensing a possibility of confrontation yet lacking absolute certainty.

After a moment's assessment, he compared it to Xander Qian and found this Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor seemed significantly weaker, allowing him to release a subtle sigh of relief.

"This demon... can be fought."

Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Eldrin Chen finally stepped forward, his expression calm as he declared, "The Spiritual Vein [a concentrated artery of spiritual energy within the earth] of an immortal mountain is born from the spiritual convergence of Immortal Domain Creation [the primordial act of world-formation], and has always belonged to those with the strength to claim it."

"Ten thousand years ago, you seized this mountain from the hands of a Human Race Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality through cultivation]. Naturally, I can now take it back."

"Is that so?"

The Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor's gaze turned icy. He stared coldly at Eldrin Chen and said, "Your ambush while I was unprepared was hardly an honorable tactic."

"Now that I, the Emperor, am here, I will undoubtedly reclaim this Fire Mulberry Island."

At that moment, Six Stars Immortal [an immortal associated with six celestial stars] offered a cold smile. "Since the Immortal Isles are already lost," he said with chilling finality, "you should not think of leaving here today."

"Today, Fire Mulberry Island is truly bustling with activity."

At that very moment, a clear, hearty laugh echoed from the distant void.

Everyone looked up to see a magnificent war chariot, pulled by nine seven-colored phoenixes, descending from the Heavenly Vault.

The chariot was adorned with dragon patterns, seemingly forged from Acquired Celestial Immortal Root Dragon Pattern Wood. Intricate patterns of Path Principles [the fundamental laws and truths of the cultivation path] spread across its surface, radiating an aura of supreme Slaughter [the essence of annihilating power].

Upon the chariot stood a tall, imposing man, his gaze sweeping over the crowd with a faint smile.

"It's the Nine Phoenix Immortal Chariot! In his day, the Crimson Dragon Patriarch often traveled in this very chariot. Even the masters of Earth Immortal Blessed Land [a realm or territory governed by an Earth Immortal] would receive him with utmost courtesy."

Six Stars Immortal whispered, explaining the newcomer's origins to Eldrin Chen.

In the past, the Crimson Dragon Patriarch had achieved his path in mere hundreds of thousands of years, placing half a foot into the ranks of Earth Immortal Patriarch [a patriarch who has attained the Earth Immortal realm]. He was rumored to be the most likely figure in the surrounding seas to succeed in World-Opening [the act of creating or opening a new minor world or realm].

Alas, he ultimately failed in his final attempt and passed away within his Seclusion Chamber.

"The man before us is none other than the direct grandson of the Crimson Dragon Patriarch and the mightiest immortal deity of the Crimson Dragon Sea, 'Crimson Dragon Child'." Continue your cultivation journey at audio_novel.com.
