Chapter 1165. Ascension 5th Tier, Great Perfection Immortal Body

To slay 1 who possesses the radiance of virtue is to greatly diminish 1's own merit and amplify 1's karmic burden. When the great tribulation comes, survival would be but 1 chance in 10.

For beings capable of condensing Virtuous Merit Radiance were exceptionally rare.

In the Celestial Realm, many Terran Immortals and Ancestral Masters have performed virtuous deeds for millions of years, yet few ever cultivate even a handful of Virtuous Radiance.

After aiding the Violet Realm in its successful ascension, Eldrin condensed 3 strands of Merit Pure Light—a sight that would likely stir envy in even many Earth Immortal progenitors.

However, Zijie's breakthrough this time consumed a single supreme-grade Immortal Treasure—the Primordial Essence of Stars. Even an ordinary Earth Immortal Patriarch would likely hesitate to pay such a steep price.

To return to our story, after obtaining the Virtuous Radiance, Eldrin (Person Name) sat cross-legged in the void and began his secluded cultivation.

This ascension of heaven and earth had bestowed him with virtue's blessing, while the will of the Violet Realm echoed its feedback. An opportunity was quietly descending upon him.

At this moment, Eldrin fell into a state of sudden enlightenment, realizing his breakthrough opportunity had arrived. He immediately produced a massive heart and a vial of golden true blood.

This heart was naturally that of an ancient beast from millions of miles away, and the golden true blood was the life-bound true blood of the ancient beast.

Whether it be the heart or the true blood, they are the essence of the Primordial Chaos Beast. Even a Ninth-Level Ascension Immortal would be overjoyed to obtain them.

Eldrin received the heavens' and earth's reciprocal nourishment, knowing this was the prime moment to refine the ancient beast's heart and true blood. Without delay, he began refining the true blood and heart.

As Eldrin continued his refinement, the ancient beast's heart and true blood were unknowingly devoured completely.

Boom—

No 1 knew how much time had passed when Eldrin’s heartbeat erupted like rolling thunder.

He opened his eyes from deep meditation, rose slowly to his feet, and let out a long breath.

In an instant, an boundless wind swept between heaven and earth, tearing countless fissures across the very fabric of the void.

"Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body, perfected!"

Sensing the power coursing through his veins, Eldrin murmured softly, his eyes gleaming with a light that seemed capable of tearing heaven and earth asunder.

The cultivation of an immortal body consumes the most resources, and Eldrin's Primordial Immortal Body of Chaos is even more formidable, requiring many times the resources of an ordinary immortal body.

In stark contrast, with sufficient resources, cultivating an immortal body is actually the simplest.

The energy contained within the true blood and heart of that Starry Sky Ancient Beast far surpassed even that of a Half-Step Earth Immortal. After Eldrin extracted and refined it, his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body finally reached the pinnacle of cultivation.

When the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body was cultivated to the Immortal Stage, it was already comparable to an ordinary Great Perfection Immortal Body. Now that Eldrin had perfected it to the Great Perfection realm, it had grown even more formidable.

"With my current physical strength alone, I can tear apart Ninth-Level Ascension cultivators barehanded and wrestle with a 9 Heavens True Dragon at the Great Perfection Stage of Ascension."

"I'm afraid it already rivals the physical prowess of those at the Ninth Heaven Ascension realm who have achieved sainthood through body cultivation."

Sensing the power coursing through his veins, Eldrin murmured to himself, a faint smile gracing his features.

This time, not only had his Celestial Body reached perfection, but his cultivation had also advanced further, smoothly rising to the fifth level of the Ascension Realm.

After breaking through to the fifth level of Ascension, the immortal energy within him increased by another 30 percent, reaching a level comparable to the ninth level of Ascension.

Having achieved the Great Perfection of the Immortal Body and a further increase in mana, Eldrin's strength had grown significantly. It was likely that even 2 or 3 ordinary experts at the Ninth Heaven Ascension Realm would struggle to match him.

"Upon returning to the Immortal Realm, we need not be overly wary of the Crimson Dragon Clan."

A thought flashed through Eldrin's mind, and he ceased to dwell on it further.

He returned to Verdant Chariot Mountain (Location), bid farewell to the old clan leader, and then arrived at the end of the Path to Immortality.

After many years, the end of the Path to Immortality had once again gathered countless cultivators.

At the end of the Ascension Path, where the boundless void lay, a group of peerless figures stood poised atop the celestial firmament.

These figures were none other than the 9 peerless immortals.

The 9 immortals were none other than the Eastern Emperor, Kael (Person Name), the Primordial Ice Silkworm, the Master of the Dao Palace, Lin Tianqi, the Roc Demon Saint, the Divine Thunder Tribulation Spirit, the Lord of the Starry Sky Palace, and the revered Kunxuan Dao Sovereign.

Today, these 9 immortals gathered here for 2 purposes: first, to escort Eldrin back to the immortal realm, and second, to witness the ascension of the Primordial Ice Silkworm.

Eldrin (Person Name) returned to the Immortal Realm first, while they would follow shortly after—this had all been prearranged.

For they had only just attained immortality, and still wished to linger in the mortal realm for a 1000 years, to accumulate more foundation for their own Dao traditions, thus severing all karmic ties to the red dust.

Only the Primordial Ice Silkworm was free from all attachments, prepared to ascend on this very day.

At this moment, the Primordial Ice Silkworm transformed into a woman of peerless elegance. She spoke with serene composure, "Honored guests, this humble 1 shall take my leave now. Should fate decree it, you may seek audience in the Taihan Immortal Domain in days to come."

Taihan Immortal Domain.

Eldrin nodded. The master of this Primordial Ice Silkworm, the Heavenly Mountain Goddess, was a being at the absolute pinnacle of Earth Immortal realm—moreover, she was the reincarnation of a Celestial Immortal powerhouse.

With such a prestigious background to rely on, she would undoubtedly choose the Taihan Immortal Domain over the Qingcang Immortal Domain—a decision well within expectations.

As the Primordial Ice Silkworm had already summoned the Ascension Radiance, Eldrin (Person Name) cupped his hands and said, "Very well. If fate allows, we shall meet again someday."

"Farewell!"

The Primordial Ice Silkworm waved its hand, ultimately departing with the guiding immortal light.

After bidding farewell to the Primordial Ice Silkworm, Eldrin turned his gaze to the crowd and clasped his hands with a gentle smile. "This is far enough, my friends. I shall await you all in the immortal realm."

"Very well."

The master of the Dao Palace stroked his long beard and nodded with a faint smile. "Once this old daoist has severed all mortal karma, I shall seek you out in the celestial realms."

"Yes, we shall join you in a moment."

All the immortals smiled faintly, nodding in unison as they said.

With those final words, Eldrin said no more.

He turned to look into the distance, where Chen Fusu, Elara (Person Name) and others were bidding farewell to old acquaintances.

Further off in the void, Saint Lord Dorian also held the Ice Seraph Fairy, while Maris the Sea Steader was bidding farewell to the Mistress of the Azure Jade Palace.

This time Eldrin departed, intending to bring 10 individuals to ascend alongside him: Chen Fusu, Chen Zuxuan, Lu Wenyuan, Gu Lanshan, Elara, Su Qiongfang, Freya, Dorian, Patriarch Qing, and Maris the Sea Steader.

Now that these 10 individuals were about to part with their families, they all felt a sense of finality, as if facing life and death.

They knew all too well that after this parting, it would likely be impossible for them to meet again in this lifetime.

Apart from the Ice Krait Fairy, who was a pure-blooded true dragon and had a high chance of attaining immortality, none of the others had the slightest confidence in achieving immortality.

Like Maris the Sea Steader's (Person Name) dao companion, the Palace Master Qingyao, although she had broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm under his support, her own potential had already been exhausted.

Without the support of a figure at or above the Earth Immortal realm, she likely stood no chance of achieving immortality in this lifetime.

"Let us go. If you can achieve immortality, it is not impossible that we shall meet again."

No matter how reluctant they were, the time had come for them to part.

Eldrin boarded the Crimson Plume Immortal Vessel with his companions, bidding farewell to each of his old acquaintances 1 by 1 before vanishing into the boundless horizon of the starry expanse.

Unlike the ascension of immortals, his return to the celestial realm could not summon the Welcoming Immortal Light. To re-enter the immortal domains, he would have to rely on the Celestial Court’s teleportation formation—a journey that would require no small amount of time.
