Chapter 1111 Wanling Patriarch

"So that's how it is."

Eldrin gave a slight nod, then couldn't resist asking, "What exactly is this opportunity you mentioned to advance into a Heavenly Spiritual Root?"

"Of course, it is the Primordial Indestructible Radiance."

The Serene Bamboo spoke softly, a pensive expression flickering across his face. "Legend has it that when a Golden Immortal of the Grand Luo opens a celestial realm from the primordial chaos, an Innate Indestructible Radiance can be born."

That boundless chaos was infinite and without horizon, where hundreds of millions of realms rose and fell. Great universes were often born within it, and 1 could even seek out the innate indestructible spiritual light.

At this point, the Serene Bamboo spoke with boundless yearning: "I am a Serene Bamboo born of postnatal essence. Should I obtain a single wisp of Primordial Undying Radiance, I could transform into the legendary 6-Senses Purifying Bamboo."

And if 1 could merge with 40-9 innate indestructible lights, it could even transform into the legendary 'Innate Bitter Bamboo'.

Upon hearing this, Eldrin's pupils involuntarily contracted slightly.

Bitter Bamboo was not merely a supreme-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), but 1 of the 10 legendary Primordial Spiritual Roots. Even across the 3 1000 Immortal Domains, it stood as an exceptionally rare treasure—so precious that not even a Great Luo Golden Immortal could hope to obtain it, forever beyond their grasp.

The Pure Serenity Bamboo mentioned this point, then continued with a sigh, "Of course, my Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) grows ceaselessly at every moment, which is why it can fuse with the Primordial Indestructible Radiance."

"If we were to take human form, then attempting to metamorphose into a Primordial Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) would become an exceedingly arduous endeavor."

"As far as I know, aside from the legendary Chaos Supreme Treasure—Chaos Cauldron (Magic Treasure), no other artifact possesses the ability to reverse innate nature."

Eldrin gave a slight nod, finally understanding in his heart why his use of Primordial Purple Qi to advance his spiritual roots, as well as the nascent Quasi-Immortal Herbs and Quasi-Immortal Metals still in gestation, had always met with such effortless success.

It can be directly used to advance spiritual treasures and immortal treasures, yet the process is exceedingly cumbersome. Even when upgrading a soul-bound immortal treasure, it can only serve to shatter constraints, unable to substitute for the required immortal gold or innate formation patterns.

However, upon recalling the Chaos Cauldron he had mentioned, Eldrin couldn't help but ask in astonishment, "Could it be that among the 3 1000 immortal realms, there truly exists a Chaos Cauldron—a supreme treasure of primordial chaos?"

"This..."

The Serene Bamboo hesitated for a moment. He had only heard his elders speak of the wondrous uses of the Chaos Cauldron, and in truth, his knowledge of it was quite limited.

At this moment, questioned by Eldrin (Person Name), he found himself momentarily at a loss for how to respond.

"Indeed, there is."

At that very moment, a gentle voice suddenly came from nearby.

Eldrin (Person Name) looked up and saw an elderly man in a cyan robe approaching. The newcomer gazed at him quietly, studying him for a long moment before giving a slight nod and saying.

8 million years ago, the Eldrin (Person Name) was born cradling the Chaos Cauldron (Magic Treasure). In just a few million years, he cultivated all the way to the Great Eldrin (Cultivation Realm) stage, coming merely A Step Away (Time & Distance) from the realm of the Dao Ancestor Immortal Sage (Cultivation Realm).

"Alas, the Primordial Chaos Cauldron (Supreme Treasure) was far too precious, and for this, he drew upon himself a boundless calamity that swept across 3 1000 celestial realms."

Eldrin (Person Name) felt a seismic shock in his heart. He swiftly reined in his turbulent thoughts and bowed deeply, saying, "I pay my respects to the Ancestor of 10 1000 Spirits."

Hmph!

The Vastspirit Elder gave a slight nod, his gaze calm as he regarded Eldrin. "As mentioned in Liuli’s letter, you are 1 blessed with immense fortune. Seeing you now, it is clear this is no falsehood."

"While these supreme treasures are invaluable, carrying with them nearly boundless fortune, without sufficient strength to anchor that fortune, they may well become a path to certain death."

Eldrin’s heart stirred, sensing that the Ancestor of 10 1000 Spirits seemed to imply something deeper. He promptly bowed and said, “Thank you for your guidance, Senior.”

"Just idle words, don't take them seriously."

The Vastspirit Ancestor shook his head. With a casual flick of his sleeve that could overturn mountains and rivers, myriad spiritual lights enveloped the vast sea, isolating the group from the outside world.

After completing this step, Ancient Spirit Venerable noticed Eldrin appeared somewhat tense and spoke with a light laugh, "Although this old man and the lass Liuli aren’t the closest of friends, we’ve shared a bond spanning tens of millions of years. There’s no need for you to worry overmuch."

"I understand."

Eldrin nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the Ancient 1 of 10 1000 Spirits as an inexplicable pressure began to permeate his entire being.

In recent years, Eldrin had successfully refined the Yin-Yang Polarity Pearl, confident that even when facing a Half-Step Earth Immortal, he would possess sufficient means to ensure his own safety.

Yet now, standing before the Ancestor of 10 1000 Spirits, Eldrin felt as insignificant as an ant.

Before them, the Vast Spirit Ancestor merely stood in place, yet the immense spiritual power within him was like a boundless sea of stars—once unleashed, it was enough to annihilate an entire galaxy.

A single strand of hair could cleave apart a great chiliocosm.

Eldrin murmured, a trace of astonishment coloring his expression.

This incarnation of the Ancestor of Myriad Spirits had existed for over 60 million years, ranking among the top 30 Earth Immortals in the Vast Azure Immortal Domain, with an ancient Calamity Immortal standing as his backing.

Such a supremely powerful existence, once breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm, would likely rank among the strongest even amidst Celestial Immortals.

That Lord Ye Xu, having weathered 5 Dao Tribulations, was regarded as 1 of the most likely existences in the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea to achieve the Heavenly Immortal realm.

"Now it appears that this Venerable of Myriad Spirits is the 1 with the true bearing of a supreme expert."

Eldrin could scarcely conceal his astonishment. He promptly cupped his hands in salute and said, "This junior has come for the sake of the Enlightenment Tea Tree."

"I understand."

The Venerable Spirit Ancestor nodded, his expression serene as he replied, "The Enlightened Dao Tea Tree can be yours, but you must agree to 1 condition."

"Conditions?"

Eldrin’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he could not help but ask hesitantly, “May I ask what condition Senior has in mind? What is it you wish this junior to do?”

Qingjing (Taoist Title)

The Myriad Spirits Ancestor did not reply immediately, instead calling out to the Serene Bamboo nearby.

The Serene Bamboo quivered slightly, conjuring a shimmering spiritual light that coalesced into the form of a young child. "Serenity pays respects to the Patriarch," the child spoke.

The Myriad Spirits Ancestor nodded, gazing at Eldrin as he said, "This Serene Bamboo has a karmic connection with you. Are you willing to accept it as your disciple?"

Eldrin's expression flickered slightly. The disciple's legacy carried immense karmic ties.

Not to mention, in the immortal realm, there exists a calamity of immense consequence. Generally speaking, unless absolutely necessary, most immortals would not lightly take on disciples.

Eldrin was no exception, adhering to the principle of "better to lack than to accept the unfit" when taking on disciples.

To this day, he had only 2 personal disciples: Ye Qingfeng and Lu Wenyuan.

Moreover, when the time came to save the Realm of Void, it was on the brink of total annihilation, with over 90-9 percent of its cultivation heritage lost.

He then felt a surge of compassion and took in 7 registered disciples in 1 breath, imparting part of his own lineage to them.

Eldrin no longer took on disciples lightly these days, so when the 10 1000 Spirits Ancestor proposed that Tranquil Bamboo become Eldrin’s disciple, it completely caught him off guard.

Seeing Eldrin’s confusion, the Venerable Spirit of 10 1000 Souls let out a sigh and explained, “This Tranquil Bamboo is no ordinary object—it is a descendant of the ‘6 Paths Bamboo’ once nurtured by this old man’s dear friend.”

"In the great calamity that befell my old friend, only this single descendant of the Celestial Bamboo survived, yet remnants of the tribulation still linger upon it."

At this point, Eldrin spoke with serene composure, "I perceive you carry immense fortune—enough to obscure the divinations of mighty beings and offer him sanctuary."

"This."
