Chapter 1063. 3 Disciples Descend the Mountain

"Understood, Father."

Chen Xianzhang rose to his feet, having ultimately made the vow.

Eldrin said nothing more, summoning Chen Xianzhu and Chen Xiandao.

Looking at the 3 children before him, Eldrin spoke: "I have made an arrangement with the 6 Stars Immortal. 3 months from now will be Sanlang's wedding day."

"The household is short-handed. Xianzhu and Erlang, as the elder brothers, you must make proper arrangements for Sanlang during this period."

Chen Xianzhu and Chen Xiandao nodded, their expressions grave as they bowed deeply. "We understand, Father."

"Hmm, you may leave."

Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod, signaling the 3 to depart.

After the 3 had departed, Lyra (Person Name) and Seraphina Qu (Person Name) finally emerged.

Seraphina Qu gazed at Chen Xianzhang's retreating figure and said with a hint of helplessness, "Ah, this child has caused you trouble again."

"This young lad is spirited and full of vigor. Though somewhat of a libertine, his nature is not unkind."

Eldrin shook his head and spoke calmly.

他将目光收了回来，又看皱了皱眉头说道：“不过六辰仙人的教训，我们也该汲取一下。”

"Oh?"

Lyra's gaze flickered slightly, a trace of confusion involuntarily surfacing in her expression.

Eldrin (Person Name) settled back into his seat at the guest pavilion, pouring himself a cup of tea with practiced ease. "The 6 Stars Immortal had 6 sons and 1 daughter. Each of those 6 sons possessed the innate talent to ascend to immortality, yet in the end, not a single 1 achieved it."

"For without weathering the storms, even the son of a banished immortal would find it hard to achieve greatness."

Upon hearing this, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) slightly furrowed her brow.

It turned out that the 6 Stars Immortal had 6 sons, each born of an immortal father. By all reasoning, they should have possessed astonishing natural talent, yet in the end, not a single 1 achieved immortality.

You must understand, every child of such immortals possesses the most supreme celestial aptitude. Their innate talents are no weaker than legendary Dao Lords like Lin Tianqi or the Master of the Dao Palace—born with their feet already upon the path to immortality.

As children of immortals, they relied on their bloodline power to advance smoothly, encountering no obstacles whatsoever until at least the ninth level of the Nascent Soul.

However, once 1 reached the ninth level of the Nascent Soul, relying solely on bloodline inheritance was far from sufficient.

For a cultivator, attaining immortality is an arduous journey indeed. Each of the 3 paths to immortality presents its own monumental challenges.

To cultivate an immortal body requires immense perseverance—to endure the physical agony and transcend 1’s own limits.

To attain immortality through the Laws, 1 must first comprehend the principles of heaven and earth. Without sufficient experience, innate talent, and spiritual insight, grasping the Laws would be as arduous as scaling the heavens.

To condense 1's own cultivation base into a single Immortal Ascension Dao Fruit requires immense perseverance, profound wisdom, and extraordinary courage—qualities far beyond the reach of ordinary individuals.

On this foundation, external aids may play a certain role, but they are merely embellishments to an already exquisite tapestry.

Without sufficient perseverance, enlightenment, and steadfast determination—the very foundation to ascend as an immortal—using it would be nothing but a futile waste.

The bloodline of an immortal allows 1 to cultivate with unparalleled ease, never facing setbacks or hardships. Yet, such individuals possess far less experience and depth than those who rise from the lowest ranks, and they often lack the perseverance and resolve to endure.

Under ordinary circumstances, this might be overlooked. Yet at the critical juncture of ascension, such flaws often prove fatal. Thus, the success rate among celestial descendants has never been particularly high.

After all, even the most exceptional talent would amount to little without an unwavering devotion to the Dao.

In stark contrast, mortals like Lin Tianqi and the Palace Lord, wielding their blades to carve a path through thorns, had forcibly hewn a road to immortality through sheer slaughter.

Such a Demigod Ancestor (Cultivation Realm) possessed flawless temperament and experience, with insights into cultivation far surpassing those of celestial descendants, making their chances of ascension to immortality significantly greater.

At this thought, Yan Zi Ji grew somewhat concerned and couldn’t help but turn to Eldrin (Person Name) with an inquiring gaze.

"What does my husband mean?"

"Let them descend the mountain."

Eldrin (Person Name) let out a soft sigh before speaking, "Over the past 100 years, I have devoted each day to guiding these 3 children."

"The principles of cultivation, the wickedness of the human heart, and the way of being human—all have been imparted to them."

Yet knowledge from the pages remains shallow, True mastery demands hands to follow.

Eldrin spoke in a measured tone, sighing as he said, "Now that Xianzhu and Xiandao are both over 1 100 years old—an age when you and I had already shouldered the responsibilities of our entire clan—it is time for them to journey into the mortal world."

"Let them witness the evils of this world and behold the perils of cultivation, for only then shall they comprehend the true path of their own practice."

Upon hearing this, Lila (Person Name) couldn't help but feel concerned. She spoke hesitantly, "Their cultivation levels are too low. Wouldn't it be too dangerous to let them descend the mountain?"

"It is of no consequence." Eldrin shook his head, clasping his hands behind his back. "I shall conceal sword qi within their bodies, which may preserve their lives at the brink of death."

"Moreover, their cultivation is still low at present. Let them travel within Qingyuan Island and only release them after they break through to the Nascent Soul realm."

Hearing this, the girls finally let out a slight sigh of relief.

The Azure Ridge Isle stretched endlessly, as vast as the Eastern Wastelands (Location).

Upon this vast immortal island, countless demon tribes still remained. Over the past 1000 years, numerous minor immortal clans had migrated here as well, among whom were no shortage of powerful experts at the Nascent Soul realm.

Even if all 3 of them were to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, it would suffice as a stage for their cultivation.

Moreover, on the immortal island, with their care, no major mishaps would occur.

At this thought, Lyra nodded and said, "Then it's settled. After Xianzhang's wedding, let them descend the mountain and establish their own cavern abodes."

The marriage arrangements for Elder Chen Xianzhang were personally overseen by Eldrin (Person Name), who went so far as to prepare generous gifts and invite Qian Xuande and the Transcendent Void Immortal to serve as matchmakers for the marriage proposal.

Immortal Lord 6 Stars was quite pleased in his heart. After accepting the betrothal gifts, he presented a generous dowry in return.

The old immortal had previously discovered numerous treasures within the ruins. Among the dowry were no less than 3 immortal herbs, including a single low-grade immortal treasure, while the remaining spiritual objects were truly beyond counting.

After several months of such busy preparations, the wedding arrangements for the 2 were finally settled.

Another year passed. On this day, Eldrin summoned the 3 children to his cave abode.

"Father, may we inquire as to the reason you have summoned us?"

Inside the cave dwelling, Eldrin wore a grave expression, prompting Chen Xianzhu to inquire,

Eldrin remained silent, his gaze carefully studying the 3 children before him. Only after a long while did he finally speak:

"You 3 have cultivated for many years. As your father, I have imparted all the cultivation methods to you. From now on, your path of cultivation will depend more on your own efforts."

"You have now come of age. I have summoned you here today to send you down the mountain!"

Father!

Chen Xianchang’s expression shifted slightly. Among the 3, he was the youngest and had always been sheltered under Eldrin (Person Name)’s care. Now, to be abruptly driven down the mountain left him utterly unprepared.

He wanted to say more, but seeing the utter calm on Eldrin's face, he ultimately swallowed his words.
