Chapter 1139. I Pity the Suffering of All Living Beings

Boom—

With a deafening roar, the young man felt the heavens and earth spin wildly as boundless immortal light engulfed everything.

He followed the celestial light and saw a man robed in snow-white garments standing high in the sky. Shrouded in immortal mist, the supreme Hugo (Person Name) remained indistinct, yet a mellow voice drifted down.

"The Great Astral Tribulation, the Desolation of Cangling."

"In the Demon Clan's Star-Shattering War, the Star Spirit Clan was nearly annihilated. I took action to quell the Cangling Demon Calamity, vanquishing the Outer Realm Demons. No demonic entities above the Nascent Soul realm remain in this world."

Yet on the Cangling Ancient Star, many low-level demonic cultivators still clung to life, and scattered legacies of demonic cultivation remained hidden throughout its lands.

"If left unchecked, this realm may face demonic turmoil again in thousands of years."

"I grieve for the suffering of all living beings, thus I bestow upon you 1 volume of the Dao Scripture. Devote yourself to diligent cultivation. Should you 1 day quell the great calamity and ascend as an immortal, we may meet again."

"Bzzz—"

With those final words, the celestial being from the ninth heaven gradually dissipated, leaving only a celestial scroll that appeared in the child's hands.

The child stared blankly at the ancient scroll in his hands, and only after a long while did he seem to grasp something, prostrating himself in reverence.

"Your disciple Yuansheng bids you farewell, Master!"

The vast starry sky, boundless and endless.

Beyond the Cangling Ancient Star, Eldrin seemed to sense something. He glanced back and sighed softly to himself.

"Born of karma, extinguished by karma."

"You are 1 fated to be born in calamity. The opportunity has been placed in your hands. Whether you can quell the Cangling Demonic Tribulation now rests upon your own destiny."

He passed down a scroll of the Primordial Chaos Immortal Sutra, which was inherently imbued with a profound and elusive celestial fate. It was only natural that it would choose an individual blessed with abundant fortune.

As for whether the 1 chosen by the Ancient Scripture can ultimately quell the demonic tribulation of Cangling Ancient Star and ascend to immortality, it all depends on his fate and destiny.

This was another’s destined fortune, and Eldrin had no intention of interfering excessively.

At the moment, his heart ached with homesickness, and unwilling to linger any longer, he hurriedly ventured deeper into the starry expanse.

After bidding farewell to Daoist Tianfeng, Eldrin utilized the Celestial Court's teleportation array to traverse the boundless expanse of starry realms. He arrived at the desolate galactic region where the Violet Realm resided, then boarded his Crimson Plume Immortal Vessel to commence the journey toward the Violet Realm.

The Violet Realm was located in an extremely desolate region. Eldrin flew for over 4 100 years before he finally discovered a great 1000 world drifting in the depths of the void.

"This is..."

Gazing upon the vast world before him, Eldrin's eyes flickered with a trace of contemplation.

The vast world before his eyes was not the Violet Realm, yet it was inextricably linked to Eldrin.

This realm was known as the Cosmic Void Realm. In ancient times, it faced the calamity of world collapse. It was Eldrin who intervened, mending the world's membrane with 5-Colored Divine Clay, thus averting its ultimate destruction.

Thereafter, he took in 7 more disciples in this realm and passed down his cultivation legacy, allowing this world to gradually regain its vitality.

Passing through the Realm of Emptiness this time, Eldrin could not help but pause in his steps.

"By my reckoning, it has been nearly 10 1000 years since I ascended to the Immortal Realm, and over 10 1000 years since I left this Cosmic Void Realm. I wonder how well it has recovered."

"Are any of those nominal disciples from back then still alive, I wonder?"

With this thought in mind, Eldrin summoned his escape light and soared toward the Realm of Emptiness.

Before long, he arrived beyond the bounds of the Realm of Voidual Cosmos. The world's will, sensing Eldrin's presence, involuntarily emanated an aura of kinship.

Eldrin understood that the Heavenly Dao of the Celestial Void Realm still remembered his world-saving deeds from the past, and thus held profound affinity toward him.

With this thought in mind, Eldrin smiled faintly and said, "I have descended to the mortal realm this time to return to my homeland and see the mother world. Passing through the Void Realm, I thought I would check on the safety of this world."

Hearing this, the Will of the Heavenly Dao in the Realm of Emptiness emanated a hazy radiance, and a minute aperture opened upon the world's membrane.

Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod and said with a smile, "My thanks."

The entrance was narrow, capable of accommodating only 1 near-immortal descending to the mortal realm, yet insufficient for Eldrin's true banished immortal form.

Thus, a wisp of divine sense descended from Eldrin, transforming into a snow-robed figure that descended into the Realm of Empyreal Void.

"You're recovering quite well."

Upon first entering the Cosmic Void Realm, Eldrin gave a slight nod.

In this Realm of Emptiness, there was no Immortal Spirit Qi, and the concentration of spiritual energy was merely 30 percent of what the Violet Realm once possessed. The world itself was only 30 percent the size of the Violet Realm, yet it was still sufficient to give rise to Primordial Spirit Dao Lords.

You must understand, 10 1000 years ago, the spiritual energy in the Void Realm had nearly been completely depleted. For it to recover to such a level could already be considered quite remarkable.

"Are those 7 lads from back then still alive, I wonder?"

With a faint stirring of thought, Eldrin made a subtle calculation with his fingers, then set off toward the heart of the Cosmic Void Realm.

Chapter 1 The Realm of Emptiness, 7 Sages Palace.

A group of youths stood before the grand hall, their faces etched with traces of tension.

Before the group of youths, a middle-aged Taoist spoke with a stern expression: "12 1000 years ago, our Cosmos Void Realm was assaulted by extraterrestrial demon gods."

"That Outer Realm Demon God possessed the power to annihilate entire universes. In a single night, our entire cultivation legacy in the Ethereal Void Realm was utterly eradicated, pushing our entire world to the brink of total collapse and destruction."

At this critical moment, the Dao Ancestor slew the Demon God, traversing the boundless starry expanse to arrive. With the 5-Colored Divine Clay, he mended the world's primordial membrane, rescuing the Fantasia Realm from the brink of annihilation.

After saving the world, the Dao Ancestor witnessed the severed lineage of the Dao in the Void Realm and took pity on our mortal suffering. Thus, He imparted His own teachings within the Void Realm.

The middle-aged Taoist spoke with a reverent tone, his face filled with profound veneration, "Within the Cosmic Void Realm, the Dao Ancestor took in 7 disciples—these are the 7 Sacred Ancestors of our 7 Saints Palace."

7 Saint Ancestors, having received the legacy of the Dao Ancestor, established the 7 Saints Palace upon this very Mountain of Dao Transmission.

The youths below all wore expressions of immense pride upon hearing this.

The 7 Saints Palace was not only their 7 Saints Palace, but the 7 Saints Palace of the entire Cosmos Void Realm.

Today, all cultivation paths in the Realm of Empyreal Void stem from the legacy of the 7 Saints Palace. The doctrines practiced by the million celestial clans and 10 million sects across heaven and earth all trace their origins to this very sanctuary.

To become disciples of the 7 Saints Palace and glimpse its supreme legacy—what unparalleled glory was this?

The middle-aged Taoist observed the expressions of the disciples and gave a slight nod. "Since our sect's lineage traces back to the Patriarch of Dao, it is only fitting that we offer sacrifices to honor his virtue in saving all living beings."

Today was the seventeenth day of the seventh month. It was on this very day that the Dao Ancestor had saved the world in the past, thus the 7 Sacred Ancestors designated it as the annual Ritual of the Dao Day.

"You who have inherited the Dao Ancestor's lineage must now join me in offering sacrifices to the Dao Ancestor."

The middle-aged Taoist finished speaking and led the group of youths toward the summit of the Chuan Dao Mountain.

At this moment, the summit of the Chuan Dao Mountain had gathered countless cultivators, all assembled before 3 towering statues, offering incense tributes in unison.

Upon closer inspection, 1 could faintly distinguish that the 3 statues were of Eldrin (Person Name), Lyra (Person Name), and Qing Ji (Person Name).

Chapter 1 The Mountain of Dao Transmission, 7 Sages Palace!

High in the void, Eldrin gazed upon the crowd offering sacrifices before the ritual statue, feeling a faint warmth bloom within his heart.
