Chapter 1156. Hometown Memories in a Small Town

Even for immortals, these supreme celestial treasures held immense allure.

In his youth, Chen Xianqing spoke recklessly, vowing to capture a true dragon for Eldrin, strip its tendons and skin to prepare a divine dragon stew as an offering to his father. This alone reveals how such a delicacy is coveted by countless immortals in their wildest dreams.

But how precious were the True Dragon and Immortal Phoenix? Moreover, they were backed by the Dragon Clan and the Immortal Phoenix Clan—how would ordinary immortals dare to feast upon them?

Even Earth Immortals might only partake once or twice in their entire lives, aside from those mighty Celestial Immortals. To avoid retaliation from the dragon tribe, they only dared to consume it in secret.

By comparison, this Azure Dragon Fish could be considered the best substitute for a true dragon.

"This Azure Dragon Fish appears to be transformed from a Celadon Spirit Fish."

Eldrin murmured, a strange sense of emotion inexplicably rising within him.

Both the Purple-Striped Wild Goose (Demon Beast) and the Azure-Scale Spirit Fish were truly extraordinary. Having served the clan for over 10 1000 years, it was beyond imagination that they would actually give birth to 2 celestial treasures through metamorphosis.

This left Eldrin feeling utterly incredulous, for these 2 immortal seeds were far too rare.

The Azure Dragon Fish was an exceedingly rare delicacy even within the Vast Azure Immortal Realm, 1 that could not be found even in the Crimson Dragon Sea.

He had only heard that the Red Dragon Ancestor once raised a Crimson Dragonfish, rumored to be a pure-blooded dragonfish as well, though whether it was true remained uncertain.

The Violet Lightning and Azure Thunder were exceptionally rare; perhaps not even a single wild strand existed throughout the entire Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea.

"This must be what they call destiny."

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured softly, then with a flick of his sleeve, drew the Crimson Dragon Fish and the Violet Lightning Azure Thunder into his grasp.

Suddenly seized, the 2 immortal creatures were immediately thrown into a panic. The Azure Dragon Fish somersaulted a 100 and 8 1000 miles in an instant, attempting to escape from Eldrin’s grasp.

When he turned his head, he found himself crashing directly into Eldrin’s outstretched fingers.

Violet lightning and azure thunder transformed into a fleeting radiance, traversing hundreds of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in the blink of an eye. Yet even after flying until his breath grew ragged, he still could not glimpse the boundaries of that colossal palm.

Its intelligence was not particularly high, unable to discern exactly how profound Eldrin's cultivation base was, yet it vaguely sensed something through some primal instinct.

"This vast heaven and earth could not surpass the span of his palm."

Unable to escape, the 2 celestial treasures immediately submitted in Eldrin's hands, guided by an unfathomable intuition.

Having obtained 2 rare immortal treasures, Eldrin felt a flicker of delight, yet he couldn't help but frown slightly.

To bring a mortal into the ranks of immortals was no trivial matter—it demanded a price far from insignificant.

This not only required purchasing tickets to the Void Gate and teleportation array for each person, but also necessitated ensuring their safety throughout the journey.

After all, with the cultivation level of a Primordial Spirit Dao Lord, attempting to use the Void Gate without the protection of an immortal would likely end in nothing but the dissipation of 1's soul.

This time, Eldrin had brought the Crimson Plume Immortal Ark, and even with his Ninth-Level Ascension Immortal cultivation, he could only protect a dozen or so individuals on their journey to the Immortal Realm.

If there were any more, he could not guarantee everyone's safety.

"It seems the Violet Lightning Azure Thunder and the Azure Dragon Fish can only be entrusted to them for ascension."

Eldrin murmured softly before falling into a brief contemplation.

When Eldrin ascended that year, he took 3 Dao companions with him. Naturally, others in the Violet Realm might also bring mortal objects during their ascension.

However, bringing mortals along during ascension was no easy feat. Even single-Fruit Dao immortals would find it tremendously difficult to accomplish. Only those who had attained dual Fruit Dao or higher—such as Palace Lords or legendary beings like the Kunpeng Demon Sage—possessed the capacity to carry earthly beings into the celestial realms.

At this thought, Eldrin mused thoughtfully, "Then let us entrust it to Kael."

Kael (Person Name) attained the fruits of 3 distinct paths—Buddhist, Daoist, and Demonic—forging a foundation comparable to that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

With his level of power, ascending to the immortal realm while bringing along the Dragon Carp and the Violet Lightning Azure Thunder was naturally well within his capabilities. If he pushed his limits, he might even have enough strength left to bring his dao companion Lilith, Mistress of Desire (Person Name) along in the ascension.

"It was rather risky for him to bring 3 people along."

Eldrin shook his head once more. Back when he ascended with his 3 dao companions, he had even brought along a few mundane worldly possessions, all while retaining considerable energy to spare.

However, Kael's (Person Name) current strength simply couldn't compare to his prime. Bringing 3 Mortal Realm beings along was far too reckless.

At this thought, Eldrin contemplated for a moment before saying, “Let’s hold off on the last 1. If Patriarch Donghuang succeeds in his metamorphosis, we shall entrust it to him.”

With these thoughts in mind, Eldrin stored away the Azure Dragon Fish and the Violet Lightning Azure Thunder.

He did not linger long in the Blazing Prison of Flames, merely journeying westward. Unbeknownst to him, he had traversed a 100 1000 li of untamed wilderness.

10 1000 years had passed, and the vast wilderness spanning 1 100 1000 li had undergone a tremendous transformation.

Within, the once barren wilderness had long since been transformed into endless fertile fields. Over 10 billion Chen Clan mortals thrived with vibrant vitality here, living their days in contentment and ease.

Eldrin concealed his aura and entered a small town, where he found countless children gathered with their parents in a square. Their faces were tense, as if awaiting something momentous.

"This is?"

Eldrin’s gaze flickered slightly, a trace of curiosity surfacing as he asked, “What brings so many young children gathering here together?”

A middle-aged man nearby couldn't help but laugh heartily, "Young man, how long has it been since you last stepped out? Have you forgotten today is the annual Spirit Root Test day?"

"Oh, I see?"

Eldrin (Person Name) froze momentarily, then let out a soft, self-deprecating chuckle.

He had cultivated for over 17,000 years, and had refrained from meddling in mortal affairs for more than 16,000 years.

He had only overseen the task of testing spiritual roots for the clan's children a few times in his early years, before entrusting it entirely to the family elders.

From then on, as his cultivation gradually advanced, he devoted himself entirely to training, and such matters drifted ever further from his grasp.

Now faced with such a situation again, he actually failed to react for a moment.

Hearing him mention this matter now, Eldrin found his long-dormant memories stirred, recalling events from those bygone years.

Back in the day, when he first tested spiritual roots for the family, he slew the disciple of that Old Devil Zhang, and even seized the opportunity to eradicate all the demonic cultivators in Pingyang City, eliminating a great threat to the clan.

At that time, the siblings Chen Caleb and Chen Silas were also rescued by that beast Eldrin.

Now, after 10 1000 years had passed, Caleb Chen had long since fallen in battle at the Desolate Demon Ridge, and even Silas Chen only retained a remnant of his soul.

"In the fleeting passage of 10 1000 ages, time spares no 1."

Memories stirred within him, and Eldrin (Person Name) felt a wave of melancholy wash over his heart.

He recalled Great Elder Chen Qingxu, recalled Second Elder Chen Qinghe, recalled Third Elder Lior (Person Name), and also recalled Fourth Elder Chen Qingyuan.

At that time, although the Chen family had only a handful of members and faced the most arduous predicament, they united as 1 cohesive force. Every individual devoted their utmost efforts to help the family overcome the crisis.

Now, most of the old acquaintances had passed away, and the Chen Family had become the number 1 Immortal Clan in the Violet Realm, yet it had lost much of its human warmth.

The younger generation of spirit souls mostly regarded Eldrin with awe and reverence, yet they shared no profound familial bonds with him.

Those Nascent Soul True Monarchs were now separated from Eldrin by an immeasurable distance, making it nearly impossible to maintain the same closeness they had shared in years past.

"Great clans, in the end, always come to this."

Eldrin sighed inwardly, the more he reflected, the more he cherished the memory of that old friend from years past.
