Chapter 1140 : Echoes of a World-Saving Legacy

This Doctrine Transmission Mountain was the very place where Eldrin Chen once imparted his teachings to his seven disciples. Who could have imagined it would now become the most resplendent site of pilgrimage within the Cosmos Void Realm?

Each year, countless cultivators gather here, their sole purpose to offer a stick of incense in gratitude for the salvation Eldrin Chen and his two companions brought to all living beings.

"The Faith Power [devotional energy generated by belief and worship] accumulated within these statues is now potent enough to condense three pieces of Incense Offering Celestial Silver [a divine metal refined from concentrated faith]. It seems the denizens of this realm have not been lax in their offerings."

"To remember our world-saving deeds even after ten thousand years... the beings of this realm do indeed know how to repay kindness."

With Eldrin Chen's discerning eye, he perceived at a glance the vast reservoir of Faith Power [devotional energy generated by belief and worship] gathered within the three statues.

Yet he understood well. The reason so many beings came to venerate him was not solely due to their remembrance of his grace. The existence of the Hall of the Seven Saints played a crucial role.

As the very source of this realm's cultivation orthodoxy, the Hall of the Seven Saints had, for ten thousand years, ceaselessly propagated the tale of the Path Ancestor's salvation of the world.

So much so that within the present-day Cosmos Void Realm, the story of the Path Ancestor's salvation had become as deeply ingrained in the collective consciousness as the myth of Pan Gu World-Opening [the primordial act of separating heaven and earth to create the world] was in his previous life.

Unless the world were to face another Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic, world-altering calamity] of Oblivion [the state of utter annihilation and non-existence], and the cultivation lineage Eldrin Chen had passed down were to be completely eradicated, the story of the Path Ancestor's salvation would never fade from the Cosmos Void Realm.

For the cultivation orthodoxy of this realm was the legacy of Eldrin Chen. Henceforth, even if someone from the Cosmos Void Realm were to ascend to immortality, they would all be disciples and descendants of Eldrin Chen. The story continues at www . audio-novel.com.

They cultivate the Great Path [a profound cultivation method] inherited from Eldrin Chen, which not only does not diminish Eldrin Chen's merits, but instead adds further to the prestige of a Path Ancestor [a supreme master of the Dao].

"Those seven lads."

Eldrin Chen felt a surge of emotion in his heart, mingled with a sense of gratification.

With a flick of his sleeve, he drew forth all the Faith Power [power born from the sincere worship and belief of mortals] contained within the three statues into his hand.

"What is this..."

The cultivators engaged in worship suddenly witnessed the statues radiate with a billion rays of Dao Gold [a brilliant, sacred light representing the essence of the Great Path] light.

Boundless, seething Faith Power erupted from within, soaring into the void above to be gathered entirely into the hands of a majestic, towering figure.

Before they could react, a series of divine Great Path incantations echoed from the Path Void [the realm of ultimate emptiness where the Dao resides] above.

"I am the Returning Abyss Path Master [Master of the Path of the Returning Abyss]. Ten thousand years ago, I saved this realm from the brink of creation and destruction."

"The incense and worship you offered, I have received in full. In return, I bestow upon you the Salvation Immortal Light [a radiant, purifying light capable of granting salvation]."

As his words fell, Eldrin Chen swept his sleeve, scattering a billion rays of Immortal Radiance [a divine light of profound purity and power]. The boundless radiance cascaded down.

Bathed in this light, all living beings felt their souls and physical forms sublimating. Their foundational potential and reserves of power received a tremendous boost. Many even experienced breakthroughs in their cultivation on the spot.

After an unknowable length of time, the Salvation Immortal Light gradually dissipated into nothingness. When the multitude looked up again towards the void, the figure of the Path Ancestor had already vanished without a trace.

Only then did some react, hurriedly prostrating themselves upon the Earthly Path [the great road of cultivation that underpins the world]. "We respectfully bid farewell to the Path Ancestor!"

"We respectfully bid farewell to the Path Ancestor!"

The multitude finally awoke to the moment, offering deep, ceremonial bows in unison.

"..."

The starry void was ethereal, the heavens and earth vast and boundless.

High above the endless Heavenly Vault [the celestial dome of the cosmos], two figures stood.

One was robed in white as pure as snow, resembling a Nine Heavens Banished Immortal [an immortal exiled from the highest heavens] descended to the mortal dust—this was naturally Eldrin Chen. The other had hair white as crane feathers yet the youthful countenance of a child, a verdant-robed immortal matron.

The immortal maiden gazed at Eldrin Chen, her face etched with profound emotion as she prostrated herself upon the ground.

"Your disciple, Exquisite Fragrance Su, pays homage to her teacher."

"There is no need for such formality."

Looking upon the figure before him, Eldrin Chen let out a soft sigh, his voice tinged with nostalgia. "Ten thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. Even you, Little Seven, find your lifespan nearing its end."

Upon hearing his words, the immortal maiden's expression grew somber. "All six of my senior brothers have already passed into the great beyond. It is a pity about Third Senior Brother. Had he endured for just one more Sixty-Year Cycle, perhaps he could have seen you once more."

"I am already aware of the fate of your six senior brothers." Your portal to cultivation novels: audio-novel`com.

Eldrin Chen sighed once more, a wave of complex emotions washing over his heart.

Upon first entering this realm, he had divined the fates of his seven disciples. Naturally, he knew that six of them had already departed this world.

In those distant years, he had taken on seven nominal disciples in this world. Four of them, perhaps failing to survive the Primordial Spirit Heavenly Thunder Tribulation [the heavenly lightning tribulation required to form the Primordial Spirit] or due to insufficient innate talent, never reached the Primordial Spirit Realm [the realm where a cultivator's spiritual core solidifies into an independent spirit]. They had withered away and passed on early, lost to the relentless flow of the temporal Long River [a metaphorical term for the river of time].

The eldest disciple, the third disciple, and Little Seven, Exquisite Fragrance Su, possessed Extraordinary talent. Each had successfully weathered the Primordial Spirit Tribulation [the tribulation to ascend to the Primordial Spirit Realm] and broken through to the Primordial Spirit Realm [the realm of the solidified spiritual core].

In this realm, your eldest senior brother possessed truly exceptional talent. Despite the extreme scarcity of cultivation resources, he managed to cultivate to the Primordial Spirit Late Stage [the advanced stage of the spiritual core cultivation]. Your third senior brother also reached the Primordial Spirit Mid Stage [the middle stage of the spiritual core cultivation]. Their talents could indeed be described as Extraordinary.

Alas, this realm suffered a devastating blow. The precious Worldly Spiritual Root [a root of immense spiritual power that anchors a world] had long vanished even before the Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic, world-altering event]. They lacked any life-extending Spiritual Object [a mystical object imbued with spiritual power] to grant them a second lifetime.

Three centuries ago, the eldest senior brother exhausted his lifespan and passed away in meditation. One Sixty-Year Cycle [a cycle of sixty years] ago, the third senior brother also dissolved into the Dao upon the Doctrine Transmission Mountain.

Only Exquisite Fragrance Su remained, struggling to hold on, with less than a century of lifespan left to her.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen sighed and said, "All things in this world are governed by Karma [the universal principle of cause and effect], each bound by its own destined path."

"Although your senior brothers attained higher cultivation, it was their misfortune not to have waited for their master's return. One can only say their Immortal Fate [the destined affinity or fortune to achieve immortality] was insufficient."

Speaking to this point, Eldrin Chen took out a life-extending Immortal Apricot [a mystical fruit that can prolong a cultivator's lifespan] and handed it to Exquisite Fragrance Su, saying, "For this descent to the lower realm, I have brought a Realm-Breaking Immortal Ark [a vessel capable of traversing the boundaries between worlds]. It can carry ten people to the Immortal Realm."

"Are you willing to follow your master and journey to that Immortal Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Exquisite Fragrance Su felt a surge of wild joy in her heart, yet she could not help but say, "A spot for ascending to immortality must be immeasurably precious. This disciple is merely a nominal disciple; how dare I occupy such a valuable place?"

Eldrin Chen offered a faint smile and shook his head. "Observing your actions within the Cosmos Void Realm over these past ten thousand years, it is clear you are still a filial and devoted disciple."

"Now that your master has established a foundation in the Immortal Realm [the higher plane of existence where true immortals reside], I am in need of capable hands. You shall accompany me to the Immortal Realm and lend me your strength."

Seeing this, Exquisite Fragrance Su finally accepted the Immortal Apricot [a legendary fruit that can extend one's lifespan] and said, "This disciple thanks Master for the grace of this opportunity."

Eldrin Chen nodded slightly upon hearing her words.

As the saying goes, when one man attains the Dao [the ultimate truth and path of cultivation], even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Eldrin Chen's current power now surpassed even that of an Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier [the ninth and highest tier of the Ascendant Immortal realm], making him utterly incomparable to his former self.

Bringing a few disciples and followers to ascend to the Immortal Realm was no longer difficult for him; it was merely a matter of expending a bit more resources.

With Exquisite Fragrance Su in tow, Eldrin Chen summoned the Crimson Plume Immortal Boat [a flying vessel enchanted with immortal power] and set course for the Purple Seal Realm [a lower realm world]. This time, it did not take long before they arrived at the periphery of the Purple Seal Realm.

Upon returning to the Purple Seal Realm, Eldrin Chen noticed that the baleful miasma of the Demonic Abyss [a region corrupted by demonic energy] enveloping the realm had dissipated by nearly half, revealing faint glimmers of Stellar [pertaining to the stars or celestial bodies] light.

Clearly, with the fall of the Catastrophe Demon God, this supreme-grade Postnatal Spiritual Treasure [a powerful artifact born after the creation of the world] had begun to shed its demonic corruption.

"Perhaps in another few tens of thousands of years, the Demonic Abyss will transform back into the Starry Abyss [an abyss filled with stellar energies],"

Eldrin Chen murmured to himself. This Catastrophe Demonic Abyss was originally the Lower Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure [a primordial treasure born with the world, of a lower grade] known as 'Mysterious Bright Starry Abyss', the Companion Supreme Treasure [a treasure intrinsically linked to a specific deity's existence] of the Mysterious Bright Star Deity.

It is a pity that in those days, the Mysterious Bright Star Deity was corrupted by the Demonic Blood [a vile substance that twists and pollutes spiritual essence]. Forced to emerge prematurely while still in its gestation, it ultimately became that Catastrophe Demon God.

Now that the Catastrophe Demon God has fallen, this Mysterious Bright Starry Abyss has gradually begun to restore its original form.

Although it remains difficult for it to regain the rank of an Innate Spiritual Treasure [a supreme treasure born from the primordial chaos of heaven and earth], there is still great potential for it to become a Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure once more.

"This Mysterious Bright Starry Abyss was formed from the degradation of an Innate Spiritual Treasure. If its foundation can be replenished in the future, there may yet be a sliver of hope for it to return to being an Innate Spiritual Treasure."

"It still retains a wisp of the aura of an Innate Spiritual Treasure, no wonder it can conceal the presence of the Purple Seal Realm." This novel is serialized on audio‑novel.com. Visit for updates.
