Chapter 1193 : Heavenly Tribulation at the Boundless Sea

Though these thoughts swirled within his mind, Eldrin Chen's expression abruptly shifted.

He soared into the heavens in a single step, his gaze sweeping towards the distance. There, within the Boundless Sea Region, vast banks of Tribulation Cloud [ominous clouds that gather to unleash heavenly punishment upon cultivators seeking ascension] were slowly coalescing.

"The Immortal Ascension Heavenly Thunder Tribulation!"

Eldrin Chen murmured, then took a decisive step forward, heading directly towards the gathering Tribulation Cloud.

By the time he arrived, he found that numerous figures had already gathered at the periphery.

Among them were Two Immortals Heavenly Feather and Violet Flame and seven or eight other Immortal [beings who have transcended mortality through cultivation]. Upon seeing Eldrin Chen, they all gave slight, acknowledging nods.

Eldrin Chen returned the gesture with a dip of his chin, then focused his gaze on the heart of the Tribulation Cloud. There, he saw that the one undergoing the tribulation was Worthy Path Chen.

"Finally facing his tribulation?"

A flicker of emotion passed through Eldrin Chen's eyes before his attention turned to a Refined Man standing some distance away.

That man was Worthy Path Chen's master. He had arrived from beyond the Endless Sea eight thousand years ago. Upon encountering Worthy Path Chen, he had been deeply impressed by the youth's prodigious talent and decided to remain in the Returning Abyss Sea, taking Worthy Path Chen as his disciple.

Eldrin Chen knew nothing of this man's origins, only sensing that the person before him was unfathomably profound. If this man truly harbored ill intent, Eldrin feared he would be utterly powerless to resist. Thus, he agreed to let Worthy Path Chen become his disciple.

After Worthy Path Chen formally entered his tutelage, he began cultivating an Immortal Art [a supreme method of cultivation leading to immortality]. Eldrin could not discern its true origins, but he sensed it was a peerless foundational technique. From then on, his worries were put to rest.

Recalling this, Eldrin Chen clasped his hands in salute and said, "My son has been greatly indebted to your care and guidance over these years."

"It is nothing," the Nameless Immortal laughed heartily, a note of genuine delight in his voice. "The Immortal Art I imparted is one that even prodigies might fail to grasp after a million years."

"That he achieved the First Revolution in a mere eight thousand years proves he is worthy of inheriting this old man's legacy."

Speaking of this, the Nameless Immortal could not help but feel a swell of pride.

The Nine Revolutions Heavenly Art was one of the supreme foundational methods of the Human Race Immortal Court [the celestial governing body of human immortals]. Cultivated to its ultimate limit, it could forge the Nine Revolutions Indestructibility Body [a physique of absolute resilience], a path leading directly to the Great Encompassing Realm [the ultimate realm of cultivation, encompassing all laws].

Countless Divine Lord [a title for powerful immortal lords] level experts within the Immortal Court could not even meet the prerequisites to practice it. That Worthy Path Chen mastered the First Revolution in just eight thousand years demonstrated not only his extraordinary talent but also a profound resonance with this technique.

"With such innate gifts, this child might truly achieve Fleshly Body Sanctification [the purification and ascension of the physical body into a divine vessel] and ascend to the realm of a Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [a perfected immortal whose power encompasses the cosmos]," the immortal mused.

As the Nameless Immortal pondered this, his gaze remained fixed intently on the site of the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation [a cataclysmic trial of heavenly lightning that tests a cultivator's worth].

Yet there, at the very heart of the boundless Heavenly Thunder Tribulation [a cataclysmic trial of heavenly lightning], Worthy Path Chen stood defiant, clad in his Three Treasures Glazed Armor [an immortal-grade armor of glazed crystal] and gripping the Heavenly Halberd [a divine polearm]. He faced the onslaught of endless Thunderclap [deafening peals of tribulation thunder] head-on, allowing them to crash upon his form without suffering the slightest injury.

"What a formidable Treasure Body [a body tempered to the hardness of a divine treasure],"

Eldrin Chen thought inwardly, a flicker of surprise crossing his mind. A Heavenly Thunder Tribulation of such ferocity would give even a cultivator at the Mid Ascendant Immortal Realm [the middle stage of the Ascendant Immortal realm] pause before daring to receive it with their Immortal Body [an immortal's physical form] alone.

Yet, when they struck Second Son, they failed to leave even a scratch upon him.

As the Heavenly Tribulation [the heavenly trial] gradually subsided, Worthy Path Chen remained standing atop the Heavenly Vault [the celestial dome of the sky]. An Immortal Radiance [a halo of immortal light] swirled around him, reminiscent of a Heavenly God [a deity of the heavens] gazing down upon the Cosmos [the vast universe], exuding an aura of supreme majesty.

"This child has only just entered the Ascendant Immortal [the realm of Ascendant Immortals], yet he likely possesses strength sufficient to contend with a Mid Ascendant Immortal Realm cultivator,"

Eldrin Chen mused silently, sensing that Worthy Path Chen's combat prowess might even surpass that of his eldest son, Worthy Longevity Chen, when he first attained the Ascendant Immortal realm.

This was because Worthy Path Chen possessed the Heavenly Eye [a divine ability granting profound insight], allowing him to perceive Path Principles [the fundamental laws of cultivation] as clearly as examining the lines on his own palm. His comprehension of the Path Principles far surpassed the ordinary, resulting in an exceptionally profound Path Fruit [the fruit of one's cultivation path, representing attainment]. His sole weakness had been the lack of a powerful physical constitution.

Now, having cultivated the method imparted by the Nameless Immortal, he had forged an Immortal Body robust enough to wrestle with divine fiends, likely surpassing even the famed Great Power Heavenly Dragon Constitution [a legendary physique of immense strength] by a margin.

With this weakness remedied, Second Son's power had undergone a qualitative leap. Finding a worthy opponent within the same realm would now be exceedingly difficult. Though he might not yet rival Eldrin Chen in his prime, he had drawn remarkably close.

This revelation struck Eldrin Chen with profound shock. In the past, he had expended immense resources to procure the Heavenly Dragon Relic and the Primordial Era Desolate Dragon Counter-Scale for his eldest son, Worthy Pursuit Chen, to aid him in nurturing the Great Power Heavenly Dragon Constitution [a supreme physical constitution embodying the power of a Heavenly Dragon].

One must understand that it is relatively easier to supplement one's foundational potential at the moment of birth, during the Innate [the state of being born with inherent potential] stage. However, attempting to mend one's foundational roots during the Post-Heaven [the state of cultivation and development after birth] stage is often an immensely arduous task.

Yet, Worthy Path Chen possessed no special Path Body [an innate physical constitution suited for cultivation] during his Innate stage. He had merely cultivated a single volume of an Immortal Scripture [a supreme cultivation manual left by an immortal]. Through this alone, he managed to Post-Heaven mend his Innate Foundation [the innate spiritual roots that determine cultivation aptitude], even surpassing the Great Power Heavenly Dragon Constitution. This clearly demonstrated the extraordinary preciousness of that Immortal Scripture.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen could not help but glance towards the Nameless Immortal, a flicker of concern stirring within his heart.

The cultivation base of this Nameless Immortal was unfathomably deep. The pressure he exuded was even greater than that brought by Glazed Divine Lord, who was a Ninth Level Earth Immortal [an Earth Immortal at the peak of the ninth minor realm]. Yet, he had specifically taken a liking to Worthy Path Chen. Could there be some hidden secret behind this?

"With power such as his, if he truly harbored some scheme, I would be powerless to stop it." Your portal to cultivation novels: *audio-novel.com*.

"Given that he has not acted, it seems he is sincere in accepting Second Son as his disciple."

Holding this thought, Eldrin Chen finally set his worries aside.

He looked up to see Worthy Path Chen descend from the sky. The young man then bowed respectfully towards Eldrin Chen and the Nameless Immortal, saying, "Father! Master!"

"Mm."

Eldrin Chen nodded, a trace of satisfaction flickering across his features.

Nameless Immortal also smiled faintly before speaking. "Now that you have attained immortality, my task as your master is complete."

"I shall depart today. I believe we will meet again soon."

Worthy Path Chen was taken aback, his expression one of utter astonishment. "Master!"

"Do not be troubled. The day our paths cross again will not be long in coming."

With those final words, Nameless Immortal dissipated like mist upon the wind, vanishing into nothingness.

Eldrin Chen, having discerned the truth, spoke calmly. "That Nameless Immortal was likely a spiritual projection [a manifestation of will and power sent by a powerful being] sent by a senior expert, specifically to impart that cultivation art to you."

"Though he has departed, judging by his words, a reunion seems destined."

Only then did Worthy Path Chen release a held breath. He bowed deeply toward the spot where his master had vanished. "This disciple's gratitude for your guidance in the path of cultivation is eternal and will never be forgotten…"

"…"

Worthy Path Chen's successful transcendence of the heavenly tribulation and his establishment of the supreme foundation of Three Path Fruits was a joyous occasion of great significance for the Chen Immortal Clan.

To celebrate, Eldrin Chen hosted a grand feast, inviting many close friends to partake in the festivities and distributing generous rewards to the clansmen.

Once the celebrations concluded, the tranquility of bygone days returned to Eldrin Chen.

Yet, after a little over a century had passed, just as Worthy Path Chen had solidified his newly advanced cultivation base, a group of extraordinary visitors arrived at Green Chariot Mountain.

Standing outside the mountain's protective formations, Eldrin Chen gazed at the figures approaching across the heavens, his expression turning profoundly grave.

There were merely over a hundred of them. They wore standardized silver armor, held celestial halberds in their hands, and carried war swords at their waists as they advanced.

At their head was a figure whose aura was as deep as an abyss, a peerless celestial general who held a heavenly cauldron aloft in his hand.

"Celestial Soldiers and Generals!"

In an instant, Eldrin Chen recognized the origin of this group.

These were the Celestial Soldiers and Generals of the Human Race Immortal Court [the supreme governing body of human cultivators in the immortal realms]. Each one possessed cultivation at the Ascendant Immortal Realm [the foundational stage of true immortality], and their leader was a Half-Step Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has partially transcended mortality and begun merging with the world's essence] who had cultivated the World-Opening True Body [a legendary physique capable of withstanding the forces of primordial chaos].

This revelation sent a shockwave through Eldrin Chen, for he, who possessed a rudimentary understanding of the Path Soldiers [elite cultivator-soldiers who follow and enforce specific cultivation paths], knew full well the terrifying might of the Celestial Soldiers and Generals [the supreme, heaven-appointed military force of the immortal realm].
