Chapter 1124. Taixu Immortal Sage, Taishi Dao Ancestor

Until 3 kalpas ago, when the second Dao Ancestor Immortal Sage of our human race emerged and established the Human Immortal Court, did we truly manage to stabilize the situation.

In the current 3 1000 Immortal Domains and the myriad cosmic realms, the Celestial Court, the Demon Court, and the Divine Court stand in tripartite balance.

Tianfeng Daoren (Person Name) could not help but show a hint of pride as he spoke of this.

Humankind is but a naturally evolved race in the vast cosmos. Compared to the myriad demon tribes, they merely constitute 1 among 10 1000 branches of the demonic lineage. When measured against the divinely-born celestial races, they appear insignificant and feeble—barely more than ants.

Yet this race, as insignificant as ants, actually relied on their own creativity to advance step by step to this day, establishing the Human Immortal Court that now rules the Immortal Realm. This alone demonstrates how extraordinarily brilliant human talent truly is.

At this thought, Daoist Tianfeng sighed with profound regret, "What a pity that 1 100 1000 years ago, Immortal Violet Sovereign failed in his attempt to breakthrough to the realm of Dao Ancestor and Celestial Sage."

"Otherwise, with our human race gaining another Dao Ancestor Immortal Sage, the Celestial Court could surpass even that Primordial Divine Court, and would no longer be ranked last among the 3 Great Celestial Courts."

When Eldrin heard him mention the Violet Immortal Lord, his pupils trembled faintly as he vaguely grasped that the waters behind this ran deep.

Now, with the rise of the capable human race and the emergence of Dao Ancestors and Immortal Saints, it is likely that the Primordial Divine Court has not been without its influence.

However, the Primordial Divine Court supported the human race merely to overthrow the Demon Imperial Court, and might not wish to see humanity surpass them.

As for the Demon Tribe's Celestial Court, it goes without saying—they were unwilling to see humanity give birth to a third Dao Ancestor Immortal Sage, fearing it would threaten their position as the foremost among the 3 Celestial Courts.

Chapter 1 The first Dao Ancestor's ascension to sainthood might have involved clandestine assistance from the divine race, making it an action that rode the momentum of the times.

Chapter 2 The second Dao Ancestor Immortal Sage might have countless schemes and intricate plans laid out, making the resistance to his breakthrough perhaps not too significant.

"But this third Primordial Dao Ancestor..."

Eldrin shook his head. Among the 3 races, when it came to innate talent and foundational roots, the divinely-born Spirit Race nurtured by heaven and earth naturally possessed the strongest aptitudes.

The bloodlines of the demonic clans are truly astonishing, with supreme lineages such as the Candle Dragon and the Primordial Phoenix. Though their innate talent may be slightly inferior, their potential for growth far surpasses that of the divine clans.

Humans possess the weakest innate talent among all races, yet they boast the greatest plasticity and are endowed with the most profound ingenuity and enlightenment.

An ordinary immortal would likely only reach the early to middle stages of the Earth Immortal realm after arduously cultivating for 8,000,000 years.

In a mere 8 million years, the Violet Immortal Lord surpassed the pinnacle of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and reached a level capable of challenging the Dao Ancestor and Immortal Sage. Such talent likely qualifies him to contend for the title of "Greatest Throughout the Ages."

Such unparalleled talent—had he been born a few cosmic calamities earlier, he might have already ascended as a Dao Ancestor or Celestial Sage.

Alas, he was born several kalpas too late. Though he was the third human to attempt the breakthrough to become a Dao Ancestor Immortal Sage, fortune ultimately eluded him.

"It was not that he was not powerful enough, nor that he was not dazzling enough."

"Yet the landscape of the immortal realm has already shifted."

Eldrin (Person Name) let out a soft sigh and reined in his wandering thoughts.

Not wishing to dwell on the topic of Violet Immortal Lord, he swiftly changed the subject: "Since the Demon Tribe’s Heavenly Court still exists, are you certain, Brother Dao, that the Zhou Heavenly Stars of the ancient Demon Tribe’s Heavenly Court remain unclaimed?"

"Do not worry."

Elder Tianfeng smiled faintly, gazing at the boundless stars of 9 Heavens Above (Time & Distance). "3 kalpas ago, to shatter the demonic celestial court's dominion over the endless starry expanse."

The Celestial Court and the Divine Court joined forces, launching a combined assault against the Zhou Tian Stars governed by the God Clan.

In that great war, our Human Race's Grand Abyss Immortal Saint took action, wielding the might of a Chaos Spiritual Treasure to shatter the Demon Race's Cosmic Star Formation.

At that time, those hundreds of millions of celestial stars scattered across the boundless cosmos—how could retrieving them ever be an easy task?

Elder Tianfeng spoke unhurriedly, then shook his head and said, "If my conjecture is correct, that celestial body is 1 of the hundreds of millions of stars that were shattered in the primordial cataclysm."

"Then I can rest easy."

Eldrin nodded and continued, "Within the Starry Ruins, there might be secret techniques for cultivating Jade Marrow Golden Shoots. I am naturally willing to lend a hand."

"However, to ensure safety, we must still establish a Heavenly Oath before we can join forces wholeheartedly against this formidable foe."

"So it is."

Elder Tianfeng nodded in agreement and promptly discussed the terms with Eldrin (Person Name), after which they jointly swore a Heavenly Oath.

After completing this step, Eldrin felt a slight sense of relief. Recalling the Western Immortal Domain's structure as explained by Daoist Tianfeng, he couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Might I ask, fellow Daoist, what are the revered titles of our 2 human race's Dao Ancestors and Immortal Saints?"

Tianfeng Daoren (Person Name) gave a faint smile and began, "Among our 2 human Immortal Saints, the Second Patriarch is naturally the Taiyuan Immortal Saint (Person Name)."

As for the Primordial Ancestor, He holds dominion over the 'Great Beginning Dao', 1 of the 5 Primordial Ultimates, and is revered by all races as the 'Great Beginning Dao Ancestor'.

Upon hearing this, Eldrin's pupils abruptly contracted.

To break through to the realm of Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal, legend has it 1 must completely master a Great Dao.

Having accomplished this, 1 must then complete the ultimate leap, causing the Great Dao under their command to undergo an extreme metamorphosis, before they can achieve the state of Hunyuan Wuji Great Luo Golden Immortal.

The 5 Primordial Ultimates represent the 5 most primordial states that existed before the chaos of the universe parted, namely: Taiyi (Primordial Non-Being), Taichu (Primordial Beginning), Taishi (Primordial Commencement), Taisu (Primordial Simplicity), and Taiji (Primordial Ultimate).

The 5 Primordial Beginnings are also the 5 most primordial Great Daos of heaven and earth.

Although the 3 1000 great paths held no distinction of strength or ranking, the 5 Primordial Ultimates were more primordial in nature.

Before the era of the 5 Primordial Ultimates, when chaos remained in a state of primordial undifferentiation, the 3 1000 great Daos were still in the process of gestation.

Even the 3 1000 Great Daos were gradually conceived only after the Primal 5 Ultimates, when chaos first cleaved. Thus, it is evident that the Primal 5 Ultimates stand as the ancestral origin of all 3 1000 Great Daos.

In the primordial era, the first Chaos Primordial Golden Immortal between heaven and earth.

The Primordial Divine Emperor ascended to the realm of Dao Ancestor and Immortal Sage through the 'Great Dao of Taichu', 1 of the 5 Primordial Origins.

Yet the Primordial Dao Ancestor attained the Dao through the 'Primordial Great Dao,' no wonder he is revered by hundreds of millions of immortals as the 'Dao Ancestor.'

Taishi Daozu (Person Name)

Taiyuan Immortal Sage.

Eldrin murmured softly, perhaps because both Immortal Saints were of the human race, he felt an inexplicable sense of kinship in his heart.

Committing both names to memory, Eldrin withdrew his focus.

He rose to take his leave, cupping his hands in a salute. "Since we have reached an agreement, I shall take my leave now to make the necessary preparations."

"Very well."

Daoist Tianfeng nodded, then cautioned, "This journey is perilous. For ordinary immortals at the early or middle stages of Ascension, venturing there would risk their very annihilation—best not to bring them along."

"I understand."

Eldrin nodded, understanding the thoughts of Sky Breeze Daoist.

Traveling together, the 2 of them not only avoided being slowed down by others but could also claim a larger share of treasures, while significantly reducing the risk of information leakage.

Seeing Eldrin’s comprehension, Daoist Tianfeng said, “Then 2 100 years from now, we shall meet again beyond the Flowing Fire Star Palace.”

"Agreed."

Eldrin (Person Name) cupped his hands in salute and bid farewell to Daoist Tianfeng (Person Name).

Returning hastily to Verdant Chariot Mountain, Eldrin immediately summoned his dao companions and informed them of the agreement he had reached with Daoist Tianfeng.

After hearing this, Qing Ji couldn't help but express extreme concern, "That Starry Ruins made even the renowned Sky Breeze Daoist sense lethal danger back in the day. Are you truly planning to venture there alone?"
