Chapter 1153. Fenbao Cliff

"To cultivate a single Dao Fruit ultimately limits 1's foundation."

"Let us leave 1 Dragon Phoenix Dao-Forging Pill. Whether he can achieve anything shall depend on his own destiny."

Thoughts flashed through his mind. Eldrin left behind another Dragon Phoenix Casting Dao Pill before vanishing from the Great Mystery Hall.

After he had departed, Jiang Taibai also sensed something. He entered the great hall and gazed at the treasure floating mid-air in the void, ultimately letting out a sigh as he said.

"A man of such noble character as the Eldrin of the Returning Abyss is likely 1 in a million—nay, 1 in several million—even if we were to search through the entire Violet Realm for hundreds of thousands of years."

Eldrin journeyed westward, paying no further heed to others' judgments.

Now that the Starforge Crucible had been successfully refined, the matter of world ascension no longer required his attention. Thus, he wandered between heaven and earth, settling the karmic ties of those who had fallen in ages past.

For tens of thousands of years, countless ancient legacies have faded between the heavens and earth of the Violet Realm. Many have vanished without a trace, while others still have inheritors carrying on their traditions.

For these ancient sanctuaries, Eldrin could only offer what limited assistance lay within his power.

As he journeyed across the heavens and earth, several more individuals from the Violet Realm attained immortality. The Great Demonic Sage Kunpeng, Lin Tianqi (Person Name), and others successively weathered the Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation.

By the time the 7 had successively ascended to immortality, Eldrin realized it was already time for the Third Sermon.

"This is the final sermon on the Dao."

Eldrin murmured, a trace of melancholy flashing through his heart.

Time flew by in the blink of an eye. Unbeknownst to him, over 3 100 years had passed since his return to the Violet Realm, and more than 8 100 years since he had left the Vast Azure Immortal Domain.

After this sermon, he prepared to initiate the celestial ascension, awaiting to transcend the great tribulation before returning to the immortal realm.

Upon returning to Verdant Chariot Mountain, Eldrin found the celestial peak already teeming with cultivators. Those awaiting the Dao discourse had been waiting for quite some time.

Knowing this was the final sermon, far more listeners had gathered than on previous occasions.

Eldrin manifested atop a verdant lotus, his gaze sweeping over the countless lives who had come to hear his words before he began speaking in a mellifluous voice.

Chapter 1 The first sermon shall elucidate the path of cultivation.

"In this second sermon, I have imparted unto you the path to immortality."

"Now, for this third discourse, I shall expound upon the Great Dao of the Daluo Realm."

Eldrin's gaze grew profound as he began to expound the path to forging a Great Perfection foundation.

As his words unfolded, the crowd gradually revealed bitter smiles. Many had heard of the Great Perfection Foundation, but when they truly comprehended the Great Perfection Path, they finally understood how utterly unattainable this road was.

Even the most exceptional prodigies lack the temperament to tread this path.

"To forge the foundation of a Great Luo, 1 must possess immense talent, profound wisdom, and extraordinary fortune—none of these can be lacking. The path to walk this road is vanishingly remote."

"If you cannot traverse this path, perhaps you may settle for the next best option and attempt to cultivate dual Dao Fruits. Once accomplished, it may still forge the foundation of a Celestial Immortal."

Eldrin spoke earnestly and deliberately, his words carrying profound weight.

With those final words, he glanced at the sky and rose to his feet. "The Third Sermon ends here."

"Henceforth, I shall no longer preach the Dao. You must devote yourselves to cultivation, and may we meet again in the immortal realm someday."

"Farewell to the Immortal!"

All living beings heard this and immediately prostrated themselves, respectfully seeing him off.

The verdant lotus blazed with resplendent radiance, vanishing into nothingness with Eldrin (Person Name).

At the same time, an ethereal voice echoed once more: "In this descent to the mortal realm, I have brought with me 3,000 spiritual artifacts and a million spiritual treasures."

"Those mundane objects hold no more use for this venerable 1. They have all been placed atop the Guest-Greeting Peak in the front mountains."

"Each of you shall take 1. What immortal treasures you obtain shall depend entirely on your own fortunes."

Boom—

In an instant, all the Primordial Spirit Dao Lords present were stirred.

All the Dao Lords and True Lords revealed expressions of ecstasy, soaring into the air with frantic speed as they charged toward the direction of the Guest Greeting Peak.

Among the 30-6 half-immortals, Jiang Taibai (Person Name) was the first to arrive. He glanced at the Guest-Greeting Cliff, only to notice a colossal rock that had been placed there at some unknown time.

And upon that massive boulder, countless spiritual lights were arrayed in splendid display.

Hmph—

In that very instant, dozens of rare treasures soared into the sky from the giant rock—each 1 an exceptionally rare artifact approaching immortal-grade, most even being exotic wonders from beyond the heavens.

Jiang Taibai moved with lightning speed, instantly summoning a brilliant sword radiance, only to realize it was a streak of blazing white baleful energy.

"Heavenly Exotic Treasure, the Great White Gengjin Sword Aura."

In an instant, Eldrin's expression transformed into 1 of ecstatic joy as he recognized the object's origin.

The Great White Gengjin Sword Aura was an extraordinary rarity from beyond the heavens, a marvel that could only be conceived within immortal-grade gold-veined ore deposits. It possessed a truly unparalleled power of annihilation.

If this sword aura were to merge with his lifebound immortal sword, it would greatly enhance the sword's power and potential. In time, it might even evolve into an immortal-grade weapon.

"What a fine treasure."

Jiang Taibai was ecstatic and immediately turned his gaze toward the other 20-some celestial rarities.

The immortal declared that they could each take 1 treasure. He selected the artifact most suited to himself, yet could only gaze with longing at the remaining items.

These celestial rarities from beyond the heavens were all priceless treasures. Though they had not yet reached the level of immortal artifacts, they had already far surpassed the Nascent Soul Realm.

If 1 could obtain 1 or 2 that suit them, their chances of attaining immortality would increase by 10 to 20 percent.

Yet such supreme treasures vary greatly in value, and naturally everyone desires the most potent artifact best suited to themselves.

At this moment, all the Demigod Ancestors (Cultivation Realm) had rushed over. The first to bear the brunt were Lu Thalion (Person Name), Chen Fusu, and Xuan Qingyi, among others.

That Thalion (Person Name) wielded power that could startle immortals, as the might of the 4 Symbols drowned all existence, sweeping away an ancient-looking formation diagram.

"Heavenly Wonders, the 4 Symbols Chart of All Realms!"

The instant he put away the treasure map, Thalion (Person Name) revealed an expression of ecstasy.

He possessed the 4 Symbols Divine Body and had mastered the 4 Immortal Swords—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. Wielding these, he roamed the world for years, nearly unmatched by any opponent.

And this Diagram of the 4 Celestial Symbols aligned perfectly with his 4 innate divine swords. If he used this formation diagram as the foundation to deploy the 4 Celestial Symbols Sword Array,

When activated, it could likely overturn the very foundations of heaven and earth, with power no less than that of a supreme immortal treasure.

Chen Fusu was the third to arrive. With quick reflexes, he swiftly reached out and swept up a large cauldron.

The great cauldron was wreathed in 3 types of supreme yang energy, known as the Tri-Yang Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron (Magic Treasure). Not only did it rank among the top 10 most valuable of all celestial oddities, it was also the most suitable treasure for him.

That dark azure-robed youth was a dragon egg born from a wisp of primordial essence of the Verdant Wood Azure Dragon, a true pure-blooded dragon. Having inherited the legacy of the Black Tortoise Patriarch, he instantly seized a dragon-patterned turtle shell from the crowd—the legendary extraterrestrial treasure known as the Dragon Turtle Mystic Armor.

In that fleeting moment, all 30-6 immortals had received their share of treasures.

The fortunate ones obtained celestial rarities from beyond the heavens, while the less lucky still acquired treasures approaching immortal-grade artifacts. It could be said all returned with their harvests overflowing like brimming basins.

Among these various treasures, the Celestial Eccentricities were the most precious. Though they had not yet reached the realm of Immortal Treasures, they had already transcended the category of Near-Immortal Artifacts.
