Chapter 1080 Yin Yang Sect Ruins

The Yin Yang Immortal Sect had sunk into the fathomless depths of the ocean, vanishing without a trace ever since. Who could have imagined that Immortal Qing Shu would now uncover clues to its whereabouts.

After listening, Qing Ji gazed into the distance and remarked, "The ruins of the Yin-Yang Immortal Sect are beyond precious, and the Setting Sun Blessed Land is teeming with formidable experts. Why would you invite us to explore it together?"

"With the strength of our Setting Sun Blessed Land, we can certainly take it."

Immortal Qingshu paused, his smile fading as he continued, "Though the Setting Sun Blessed Land spans vast territories, it harbors far too many masters within."

"This is my destined opportunity. If I were to inform the blessed land's inhabitants, when would an ordinary disciple like me ever get a chance at the Yin-Yang Immortal Sect's treasures?"

Upon hearing this, Eldrin finally understood the intentions of Immortal Qingshu.

Although the Crimson Sun Blessed Land wielded considerable influence, it housed over 70 immortals—more than 20 of whom had reached the late Ascension stage. Above them stood the Half-Step Earth Immortal Oblique Sun Patriarch and the true Earth Immortal Crimson Sun Patriarch.

Under such circumstances, if this matter were reported to the Setting Sun Blessed Land, Verdant Solitude Immortal would likely receive little more than a pittance.

Indeed, it was just as Eldrin had anticipated. Immortal Greenbreeze gazed into the distance with profound eyes and said, "To be perfectly frank, should the Setting Sun Immortal Sect take action—"

"Then according to the rules, the Patriarch shall claim 50 percent, while Patriarch Xiyang will take 30 percent."

"Of the remaining 20 percent, half goes to the immortals who took action, leaving only 10 percent to reach my hands."

"So that's how it is."

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this. Though he was quite intrigued by the ruins of the Yin Yang Immortal Sect, he grew even more cautious.

He paused briefly, his gaze turning profoundly deep as he said, "Though that may be so, the bond between you and me... is not 1 of depth."

Immortal Qingshu responded with a faint smile, calmly lifting his teacup as he said, "There are but 3 reasons for inviting you here."

"First, Fellow Daoist Guixu possesses considerable strength and can be of great assistance, yet he remains incapable of surpassing this seat."

"Second, the 3 of you have only recently ascended to the immortal realm. You haven't joined any prestigious sects nor entered the Celestial Court, so your backgrounds aren't particularly deep."

"Third, you are not from the Crimson Sunset Blessed Land, so I need not worry about inadvertently leaking information to the 2 Patriarchs of our sect because of you."

Eldrin (Person Name) nodded upon hearing this. This Green Void Immortal (Cultivator Title) certainly knew how to play his cards right.

Immortal Greenloft's cultivation had reached the Eighth Heaven of Ascension. Unwilling to let matters slip beyond his control, he deliberately refrained from inviting any immortals whose power surpassed his own.

Thus, the individuals he invited were all immortals with late-stage Ascension Realm cultivation, yet slightly weaker than himself, and none could be from the Crimson Sunset Blessed Land.

After such rigorous screening, the number of qualified candidates was already quite limited.

In the eyes of Immortal Qingshu, the 3 of them—Eldrin and his companions—had only recently ascended to the immortal realm. Their combined strength was roughly equivalent to the Eighth Level of Immortal Ascension.

Even if 1 wished to scheme against Immortal Qingshu, finding a handful of trustworthy allies would be nearly impossible, making him 1 of the most suitable candidates for the task.

At this thought, Eldrin nodded slightly and said, "With your cultivation at the Eighth Immortal Ascension Realm, yet you still couldn't secure the relics of the Yin-Yang Celestial Sect. The dangers within must be truly formidable."

"Please enlighten me regarding the underlying circumstances, otherwise I dare not make a decision recklessly."

Immortal Qingshu’s expression shifted subtly at these words, as if recalling something. He drew a deep breath and said, “Within the ruins of the Yin-Yang Immortal Sect, an ancient ferocious beast—the Tengshe—lies coiled.”

Tengshe (Spirit Beast)!

Eldrin’s expression shifted dramatically. The Téngshé was an exceptionally powerful ancient ferocious beast.

This ancient ferocious beast possessed the intellect of a mere child, yet its temperament was overwhelmingly domineering, and its strength was invariably first-rate.

According to Eldrin (Person Name)'s knowledge, even the weakest winged serpent's physical body was likely no inferior to the Ninth Level of Ascendant Immortal realm. Those with slightly purer bloodlines were probably comparable to Half-Step Earth Immortals.

At this thought, Eldrin’s expression shifted slightly as he rose to his feet and declared, “The Tengshe is a primordial ancient menace. Even Celestial Realm immortals would face the peril of annihilation when confronting it.”

"This journey is far too perilous; we dare not follow."

"I am well aware."

Immortal Qingshu seemed to have anticipated this. He grasped Eldrin (Person Name) and said, "Do not worry. This time, aside from you, I have also invited 4 other powerful immortals."

"Oh?"

Eldrin (Person Name) froze momentarily as Immortal Qingshu (Person Name) declared, "4 cultivators at the peak Ascendant Immortal realm—all outsiders like you, lacking deep-rooted affiliations."

At this point, Immortal Qingshu feared Eldrin might refuse, so he added:

"I once ventured into the ruins of the Yin-Yang Immortal Sect. Back then, I had only traversed less than half the journey when I discovered 3 Postnatal Immortal Roots."

3 Postnatal Immortal Roots?

Eldrin's expression shifted subtly, a flicker of genuine interest finally stirring within him.

He resumed his seat, his expression calm as he inquired, "In that case, how shall we divide the profits?"

Seeing Eldrin agree, Immortal Qingshu smiled faintly and said, "Since I discovered these ruins, I shall claim 30 percent of the treasures within. The remaining 70 percent shall be distributed among yourselves—how does that sound?"

"Agreed!"

Eldrin nodded slightly and said, "Both of your cultivation levels are insufficient. Confronting the Tenglian Serpent would be far too perilous. I alone shall accompany you on this journey."

A faint smile graced Immortal Qingshu’s lips. His true purpose for this journey had always been Eldrin (Person Name). He gave a slight nod and said, “With your intervention, that alone will suffice.”

"Mm." Eldrin gave a slight nod before speaking, "When shall I depart?"

"3 100 years from now."

With a faint smile, Qing Shu Immortal spoke with considerable gravity, "To confront that Teng Serpent, I must first prepare a specific treasure."

"Good."

Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod before delving into detailed discussions with Immortal Qingshu (Person Name).

The 2 agreed upon the time and location to depart 3 100 years later, and only then did Immortal Qingshu leave satisfied.

Eldrin watched as Immortal Qingshu departed, his profound eyes calm and unreadable.

Only when Elder Qing Shu vanished beyond the horizon did Lyra (Person Name) speak with a grave expression, "He was raised by the Crimson Sunset Blessed Land, yet he would abandon it for a chance at fortune. This reveals the avarice in his nature."

"You must still be cautious, lest you fall victim to schemes."

"Do not worry."

Eldrin gave a slight nod, sensing the Twin Swords of Heavenly Departure within him. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he declared, "If he honors the agreement, so be it. Should he break it, I will not fear him either."

"Hmm."

Lyra nodded slightly. The other party would never have imagined that Eldrin had broken through to the middle stage of Ascendant Realm after merely a few 1000 years since his ascension, and had even forged a pair of high-grade immortal swords.

With this pair of Celestial Departure Swords, Eldrin's strength rivaled even that of the Ninth Ascension Realm. Should the other party truly turn hostile, he would be more than capable of protecting himself.

Qing Ji, however, was somewhat worried. She tugged at Eldrin (Person Name) and said, "Shall we go and provide you with backup?"

"No need."

Eldrin shook his head, gripping Qingji's hand as he said, "You've only just given birth and have barely recovered 80 to 90 percent of your strength. Facing a clash between those at the late-stage Ascension Realm is far too perilous."

"Perhaps you should recuperate for a few more years and strive for an early breakthrough to the middle stage of Ascension Realm. Then you might actually be of some assistance to me."

Upon hearing this, Qing Ji bit her lip. A battle between Immortals was no trivial matter. For someone at the early Immortal Ascension stage to challenge an opponent at the late Immortal Ascension stage, even the slightest misstep could result in severe injuries—or worse, she might very well be slain by her adversary.

With her current cultivation at the Second Level of Ascendant Immortal realm, bolstered by her formidable Great Luo foundation, she might hold her own against a mid-stage Ascendant Immortal, but she stood no chance against a peak late-stage Ascendant Immortal.

At this thought, she took a deep breath and said, "Husband, remember above all else—your safety comes first."
