Chapter 1175. The Solar Immortal

Thinking of this, Eldrin said nothing more. Noting his silence, the Old Man Fire Yang turned his gaze toward the Ascension Platform and remarked, “Fellow Daoist, your visit to the Ascension Platform—could it be that another junior from your clan is about to undergo celestial ascension?” A faint gleam flickered in Eldrin’s eyes as he replied with a light smile, “Indeed. Several old acquaintances have ascended in recent days, so I came here to receive them.”

"I see." Elder Huoyang nodded thoughtfully. "Come to think of it, in just over 10 1000 years, 6 fellow cultivators from your homeland have already ascended. And now yet another immortal approaches apotheosis."

“So many immortals ascending—such remarkable fortune. Could it be, fellow Daoist, that your homeland is a rare celestial blessed land?” Hearing Elder Huoyang’s words, Eldrin (Person Name) furrowed his brow slightly.

But a moment later, his gaze turned profound as he said, "The ancestral homeland is the root of our origins, Fellow Daoist. It would be best not to inquire further."

"Ah, my apologies for the indiscretion." Elder Huoyang quickly cupped his hands and spoke with exceptional courtesy. As they conversed, dazzling immortal light erupted from the Dragon-Leaping Abyss, and a figure radiant like the sun leaped forth, landing steadily upon the Ascension Platform.

Eldrin (Person Name) looked up and saw a man with an overwhelmingly domineering aura, exuding an indescribable majesty.

"The Law of the Scorching Sun, the Divine Body of the Great Sun." In but an instant, Eldrin vaguely sensed the extraordinary nature of this individual.

The visitor had concealed his aura quite well, but as 1 who had cultivated 3 Dao Fruits, Eldrin could see through the man's foundation at a single glance.

"A dual Dao Fruit cultivator of such caliber—could this be the reason Elder Huoyang has come?" Eldrin wondered inwardly, rather astonished. This individual's foundation likely rivaled even that of Yan Zij!

Immortals possessing dual Dao Fruits were exceedingly rare. Across the entire Sunset Sea, there were approximately 2 100 Immortals, yet such individuals numbered no more than the fingers on both hands.

The fact that this individual had ascended through dual Dao Fruits explained why Elder Huoyang himself had come to receive them. Upon seeing the newcomer, a faint smile touched Elder Huoyang’s lips, and he gave a slight nod. "You’ve finally ascended," he said. Without pause, he continued, "Since we’ve crossed paths, allow me to make the introductions."

"This is the Solar Immortal, an ascended immortal from our Dying Sun Sect's mortal realm lineage."

"This is the Master of the Returning Abyss, the foremost immortal of the Crimson Dragon Sea, whose power has reached the pinnacle of ascension." After Fire Sun Elder finished the introduction, the Blazing Sun Immortal nodded at Eldrin and said with a smile, "It seems that in recent days, a few more friends from your homeland are about to undergo their heavenly ascension, fellow Daoist."

"I have only just ascended to the immortal realm and have few acquaintances here. Why don’t we wait for them? It would be a good opportunity to make some friends."

"Very well." Elder Huoyang nodded immediately, a warm smile gracing his lips. "Since you've both recently ascended to the immortal realm, your cultivation levels should be comparable. This presents a fine opportunity to form a friendship." Seeing both parties in agreement, Eldrin (Person Name) understood refusal was no longer an option. He gave a slight nod. "So be it, then." Eldrin (Person Name) had timed his arrival at the Ascension Platform precisely. He had waited less than 3 months when unusual phenomena began manifesting once more above the Dragon's Leap Pond.

This time, from the Dragon Leaping Abyss, brilliant immortal lights shot forth 1 after another, ultimately materializing into 8 figures who descended upon the Ascension Platform.

"E... 8 Immortals?" The moment he laid eyes on the 8 figures, even someone as deeply composed as Old Man Huoyang couldn't help but slightly change his expression.

The Setting Sun Blessed Land had dominated the Setting Sun Sea for many years, yet now numbered fewer than 80 Immortals in total. Even with the inclusion of guest elders, their forces barely exceeded a 100 members.

Yet now, 8 immortals had ascended all at once, far exceeding his expectations. He exchanged a glance with Solaris Immortal (Person Name) before turning to Eldrin (Person Name) and asking, "Could it be that all these ascended immortals hail from your homeland, fellow daoist?"

"Mm." Eldrin nodded slightly without offering any explanation. Gazing at the 8 immortals of the Violet Realm, he smiled and said, "My congratulations. You have attained the Dao and achieved immortality, ascending to eternal divinity."

"Hahaha." The 8 Violet Immortals could not help but burst into laughter. They had arduously cultivated for over 30,000 years, and finally, they had taken this step.

After giving a brief introduction to the crowd, Eldrin did not linger. Instead, he led Kael and the others toward the Crimson Dragon Sea.

Watching their retreating figures, the smiles faded from the faces of Elder Huoyang and Lieyang Immortal. After Eldrin and the others had departed, the old man withdrew his gaze, turned to Lieyang Immortal, and clasped his hands in salute. "Congratulations, Master. My heartfelt congratulations to you."

"This time, with our Master's return from reincarnation tribulation, the path to Earth Immortal ascension is within reach." It turned out that this Blazing Sun Immortal was none other than Fire Sun Elder's master—a former powerhouse who had reached the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm, the foremost disciple of the Fading Sun Patriarch, and the senior brother of the Setting Sun Patriarch.

However, during the great Earth Immortal Tribulation 1 million years ago, he was defeated by a powerful foe. Thereafter, the Elder of Blazing Sun underwent reincarnation in the mortal realm for a million years, ultimately cultivating anew to the Ascension Realm, awakening his memories and ascending to the Immortal Domain.

Elder Huoyang’s words hung in the air, unanswered by the Blaze Sun Immortal. His gaze remained fixed on Eldrin’s receding figure as he murmured, “In merely a million years since this old man underwent rebirth through calamity, such a figure has emerged from the Crimson Dragon Sea?”

"Could it be that over the past million years, some Earth Immortals have established a sect in that Crimson Dragon Blessed Land?"

"Reporting to Master, that is not the case." The Elder of Flaming Sun shook his head before beginning to recount the million-year upheaval.

The Solar Immortal listened quietly, his brow furrowing slightly after a long while. "For a single Greater World to produce over a dozen ascendants in merely 10 1000 years... It seems they carry no small measure of celestial fortune." Flame Sun Elder's expression shifted imperceptibly, his gaze involuntarily darting toward the Solar Immortal. "Master, should we..."

"Not for now." The Solar Immortal clasped his hands behind his back, shaking his head as he said, "Based on your account, that Abyssal Return Immortal managed to slay Crimson Dragon Child. His power likely places him among the virtually invincible within the Ascendant Realm."

"At present, my strength has yet to fully recover. Across the entire Sunset Sea, the only ones capable of handling him with certainty are our Master and Junior Disciple Xieyang."

"At present, our Master is gathering Primordial Chaos Treasures for our junior brother, who himself is in secluded meditation comprehending the laws of dao. This is all to prepare for his Earth Immortal Tribulation 40 1000 years from now. I fear none can claim certainty in subduing him." At this point, Immortal Lieyang shook his head once more and continued, "That Greater World must be concealing profound secrets within its depths."

"Either there is an Innate Treasure (Supreme Treasure) suppressing the fortune, or it is the ancestral land of a Celestial Immortal (Great Power), or perhaps it is a hidden scheme of some major sect. In any case, it is not something to act upon rashly."

"Be it the celestial immortal's ancient grounds or an innate treasure, none should be lightly touched."

"Even the weakest of the Innate Treasures, the most feeble of the innate magical artifacts, requires 1 to be at the late Earth Immortal stage to have any confidence in refining it."

"The innate spiritual treasures upon it, and even the ancient lands of Celestial Immortals—meddling with those would be courting death." The Blazing Sun Immortal’s expression turned exceedingly grave before he continued, "We may investigate discreetly. If it is confirmed to be merely an Innate Artifact, then we can devise a plan."

"Remember to proceed with caution. The top priority now is for Junior Brother to break through to the Earth Immortal realm."
