Chapter 1030 Crimson Sun TianShen(Deity)
Chapter 1, The Path Through Eternal Verdancy It is said that as early as several million years ago, this was a Pure Yang Immortal Vein where the primordial Pure Yang energy of heaven and earth converged.
At the heart of the Pure Yang Immortal Vein rested a Crimson Sun Stone Embryo. Having gestated through several kalpas of time, it ultimately gave birth to an Innate Divine Spirit.
And that innate divine spirit was later known as the Setting Sun God.
That Setting Sun Celestial God was born of heaven and earth, a natural innate deity who embodied the essence of the Crimson Sun. His innate talent and foundation could truly be called unparalleled throughout the ages.
At the very moment the Dying Sun God was about to emerge into the world, his bonded spiritual treasure—the Crimson Sun Halberd—ascended to the realm of a Primordial Spiritual Treasure.
Treasures captivate the heart, and even for a Great Perfected Golden Immortal, an Innate Spiritual Treasure is a precious object—let alone for those Celestial Immortals of the Vast Azure Immortal Realm.
In the end, several dozen Celestial Immortals disregarded the karmic repercussions of heaven and earth to seize the treasure, severely wounding the newly-awakened Crimson Sun Celestial God in the process.
Yet that priceless Primordial Spirit Treasure, the Crimson Sun Halberd, was seized by a Calamity Immortal from ancient times.
Thereafter, though the Crimson Sun Celestial Divinity emerged into the world, the absence of his crucial innate spiritual treasure left his divine laws perpetually incomplete. Thus, the Laws of the Crimson Sun transformed into the Laws of the Waning Sun, and his power was drastically diminished.
It was precisely for this reason that the Setting Sun Celestial God ultimately failed to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation. He peacefully departed from this world within the Setting Sun Sea, his divine essence transforming into the very fabric of the Setting Sun Blessed Land.
However, the Pure Yang Immortal Vein that gave birth to the Crimson Sun Celestial God had the potential to transform into the Crimson Sun Grotto-Heaven following his birth.
It was also because of that battle, coupled with the loss of the critical Crimson Sun Halberd, that caused it to fall to the rank of a Blessed Land.
Since then, this blessed land was occupied by the former Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Immortal Sect, thus giving rise to the later Crimson Sun Blessed Land.
Eldrin (Person Name) recalled the rumors about the Crimson Sun Blessed Land, his gaze turning slightly solemn as he said, "Was the legendary Crimson Sun Blessed Land truly absorbed into the Earthly Immortal Realm in the past?"
"The Primordial Spirit Realm has now opened 4 times in total. This should be no falsehood."
Ethereal Void Immortal nodded and spoke calmly.
It turned out that the last Earth Immortal of the Crimson Sun Blessed Realm, unwilling to let his legacy vanish completely, had used his own Earth Immortal world to encase and preserve the remnants of the Crimson Sun Blessed Realm.
His original intention was to wait until either he himself or 1 of the 3 Earth Immortals of the Crimson Sun Blessed Land could cultivate back to the Earth Immortal Realm before reclaiming this sacred ground.
Unfortunately, constrained by the laws of the Great Dao, once such an Earth Immortal mighty figure enters the cycle of reincarnation, they must cultivate anew to at least the Earth Immortal realm before they can regain memories of their past life.
However, reincarnation was fraught with uncertainty. How arduous it would be to cultivate back to the Earth Immortal realm! Not to mention that the Crimson Sun Blessed Land had already fallen, with no supreme expert to orchestrate their reincarnation.
Now, after tens of millions of years had passed, the treasures within this Earthly Immortal Realm remained unclaimed—clear proof that none of the 3 Earthly Immortals from the Crimson Sun Blessed Land had ever returned.
Thinking of this, Eldrin nodded gravely and said, "The legacy of a Terran Immortal's blessed sanctuary—it seems we must still proceed with utmost caution."
As the 2 conversed, they arrived at the core region of the Crimson Sun Sea.
In this vast and towering sea, Eldrin swept his gaze around and immediately sensed over a 100 powerful auras.
There in the void, rows of immortals stood poised against the wind.
There were fairies of transcendent beauty with celestial grace, incomparably majestic 9 Heavens deities, and also peerless demon immortals of unparalleled elegance.
These immortals exuded vastly different auras. While there were some at the early Ascension Realm stage, the majority possessed cultivation levels at the middle or late stages of the Ascension Realm.
Eldrin merely glanced around and detected over 30 powerful beings at the late-stage Ascension Realm.
Among them were Eldrin Crimsonflame, the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Divine Eagle Sovereign, and the 6 Cycles Immortal.
Moreover, some individuals were truly astonishing, their auras far more terrifying than even Qian Xuande's.
"Does it seem like there are rather many Late-stage Ascension cultivators?"
At that moment, the Void Refining Immortal suddenly spoke.
His expression was incomparably grave as he spoke with a hint of reluctance, "The timing of our ascension is rather unfortunate. Only 60,000 years remain until the next Great Cataclysm."
The celestial realm had enjoyed peace for a million years. Any immortal with modest talent could reach the late-stage Ascendant Immortal realm through 7 or 8 100 1000 years of secluded cultivation, free from ailments and calamities, relying solely on the wealth accumulated over nearly a million years.
Eldrin (Person Name) couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless upon hearing this. Having lived for merely 7 1000 years, he had already attained the Realm of Ascension.
Compared to these ancient immortals who had lived for 7 or 8 100 1000 years, his own cultivation time didn't even amount to a fraction of theirs.
Even with superior innate talent, those capable of achieving immortality were never dullards. Their cultivation spanning hundreds of thousands of years was not something he could immediately surpass.
Were it not for the profound mysteries of the Primordial Chaos Unbounded Law and his unwavering confidence in his own power, Eldrin would never have dared to venture into this place.
"It seems I still cannot underestimate the people of this world."
"This journey calls for discretion; it's best not to provoke powerful foes."
Eldrin murmured inwardly, his eyes flickering with a trace of solemnity.
To be fair, while an ordinary late-stage Ascension Immortal was enough to make Eldrin feel solemn, they could not evoke true fear in him.
However, among these immortals, 7 or 8 possessed such overwhelming auras that they were likely cultivators who had already weathered 2 or 3 heavenly tribulations.
The strength of these individuals was truly astonishing. Though they had not reached the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm, they had already attained the Ninth Level of Ascendant Immortal cultivation. Their power surpassed even that of Eldrin (Person Name) by a narrow margin.
The most crucial thing was...
Eldrin's gaze sharpened, instinctively fixing upon the 3 figures in the arena.
Above the void between them, 3 figures stood out particularly. 1 was a young man in white robes, another an exquisitely beautiful woman enveloped in crackling lightning, and the last a woman draped in phoenix feathers—Seraphina Qu (Person Name).
Noticing the expression on Eldrin’s face, the Void-Refining Immortal instinctively followed his gaze. A look of extreme gravity then washed over his features.
"Have them come as well."
"Be careful. Once inside, be sure to steer clear of those 3 if you see them."
Void-Refining Immortal swiftly averted his gaze, his expression turning profoundly grave as he spoke.
Seeing the look in the Refined Void Immortal’s eyes, Eldrin grew puzzled and couldn’t help but ask, “Ancestor, do you know them?”
"I've heard a thing or 2."
The Void-Refining Immortal took a deep breath, his expression grave as he said, "That youth in white bears the Daoist title 'Crimson Sunset Master'—he is the chief disciple of the Crimson Sunset Sect."
This man was a personal disciple of the Earth Immortal Patriarch, rumored to be a 3 Calamities Immortal. Though his strength had yet to reach the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm, he wielded a supreme-grade immortal treasure.
30 1000 years ago, he had single-handedly battled 3 Ninth Ascension Realm experts without yielding an inch.
Eldrin's pupils contracted slightly. To single-handedly oppose 3 experts at the 9th Level of Ascendant Immortal realm—this Setting Sun Master was likely not far from reaching the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm.
If nothing unexpected occurred, in another 30,000 years, the Setting Sun Blessed Land would gain another elder at the half-step Earth Immortal realm.
At this thought, his gaze shifted toward the other 2 individuals.
Observing this, the Refined Void Immortal spoke with deepened gravity, "The 1 enveloped in swirling lightning is known as the Azure Firmament Goddess. It is said she is a deity born from the essence of the Azure Firmament Divine Thunder."
That woman dressed as Seraphina Qu was most likely the Azure Simurgh Fairy.
"These 2 possess extraordinary talent, even more astonishing than Canyangzi."
