Chapter 1175. Chaos-Derived Arms Art, Ghost Immortals in the Family

Eldrin led the group back to Verdant Chariot Mountain, his mind growing increasingly unsettled with each step.

He found Lyra (Person Name) and recounted what he had witnessed during this journey. Then he spoke, "It was my oversight. I should have arranged for them to ascend 1 by 1, ascending in batches from different Ascension Platforms."

"Do not blame yourself, this was anticipated." Lyra (Person Name) consoled Eldrin (Person Name), then continued, "As our strength grows, we shall inevitably step onto the stage of the Qingcang Immortal Realm sooner or later."

"The immortals ascending from the Violet Realm will inevitably draw their attention sooner or later." Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) inwardly sighed.

For now, they had only slain Eldrin (Person Name), yet the name of the Abyssal Ascendant (Cultivator Title) had already spread across several seas surrounding the Crimson Dragon Sea. If they were to fully dominate this territory, those with ulterior motives would inevitably investigate their origins.

The sudden influx of immortals at Verdant Chariot Mountain (Location) might remain concealed for a brief period, but such secrecy could hardly endure. Unless they could construct their own Ascension Platform (Cultivation Landmark), no amount of cunning could hide the true number of cultivators residing there from those determined to uncover the truth.

At this thought, Eldrin sighed and said, "Ascending through another's Celestial Ascension Platform is, in the end, still rather inconvenient."

"It seems we too must make some plans, so as to soon erect an Ascension Platform."

"Constructing an Ascension Platform is no simple task." A bitter smile involuntarily surfaced on Lyra's (Person Name) face upon hearing this. For immortals to ascend to precise locations within the celestial realm, they must use the Ascension Platform as a directional marker while harnessing the power of the Soaring Dragon Abyss.

However, both the Ascension Platform and the Dragon's Leap Pool were treasures of immense value, far beyond what any ordinary immortal sect could afford.

The methods for forging the Ascension Platform and the Dragon-Leaping Pool are both vital legacies of the Celestial Court, accessible only to figures of Earth Immortal or Divine Lord rank.

The resources it consumed were also immense, only those blessed immortal paradises could afford it. Given the current foundation of the Chen Immortal Clan, they were still far from capable of refining an Ascension Platform.

At this thought, Eldrin sighed and said, “When all is said and done, strength is what truly matters.”

"If I possessed the strength of an Earth Immortal, even with a few secrets concealed, I wouldn't need to tremble with such reverence and fear, worrying about drawing others' attention."

"Exactly so." Lyra (Person Name) nodded, then spoke, "You needn't overthink it. Just focus wholeheartedly on your cultivation."

"When I emerge from seclusion with my immortal body fully perfected, perhaps the days ahead will become more bearable."

"Mm." Eldrin nodded, a faint smile gracing his lips. Lyra's Lunar Immortal Body was exceptionally powerful—once she refined the Flesh-Blood Treasure Pill and cultivated it to perfection, her strength would increase dramatically.

Now her strength is comparable to the peak of Ascendant Realm. By then, she will likely rival the Ninth Heaven of Ascension, becoming of great assistance to Eldrin.

"…" retrieved the 8 former companions from the Violet Realm, and Eldrin did not take any further action. Over the past several 1000 years, he had spent most of his time immersed in ceaseless endeavors. Now that all trivial matters had been concluded, he intended to enter a period of secluded cultivation to properly consolidate his gains.

The path of cultivation emphasized the balance between exertion and relaxation. In his leisure, he tended to the Great Yang Golden Bamboo and occasionally contemplated his cultivation techniques, finding his progress exceptionally smooth.

Thus time flew by, and a full 3 1000 years had passed. On this day, within the Starlight Glaze Realm, hundreds of millions of strands of Primordial Chaos Immortal Light converged, ultimately coalescing into 1 resplendent Primordial Chaos Immortal Sword, 1 domineering Primordial Chaos Tyrant Spear, and 1 supreme Primordial Chaos Heavenly Blade.

“The Art of Stellar Weapon Forging—I’ve mastered the first 3 layers!” Gazing at the Chaotic Origin Immortal Sword before him, Eldrin let out a soft exhale, a smile gracing his lips.

Back on the ancient star of Cang Ling, he had obtained several supreme-grade immortal treasures, and among them, the Art of Stellar Weapon Forging ranked within the top 3 in value.

This Art of Stellar Weaponization could condense the power of billions of starlight rays, forging peerless stellar divine arms. Its might rivaled a single strike from a legendary immortal treasure, truly unmatched in slaughter.

Back then, the dying Eldrin Star Deity had slain the Bloodspring Old Demon 3 times in succession using the Art of Stellar Armament Manifestation—first conjuring a star-forged spear, then a celestial blade, and finally an immortal sword. This alone demonstrated the sheer terror of this divine ability.

After 3 1000 years of comprehending this Starforge Soldier Art, Eldrin had finally mastered its first 3 forms. When channeled with his current cultivation base, the divine arms manifested through this art were already comparable to superior-grade immortal treasures, possessing truly extraordinary power.

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but murmur to himself, "Derived from the Art of Stellar Soldiers and driven by Primordial Chaos energy—let's call it the Primordial Chaos Soldier Derivation Art." His version of the technique had been adapted according to his own spiritual power.

He was not formed from the power of the stars, but condensed from Eldrin's Primordial Chaos magic. Its might far surpassed that of Starforged Soldiers of the same tier.

Having mastered the first 3 layers of the Primordial Chaos Soldier-Forging Art, Eldrin dispersed the 3 Chaos Divine Soldiers. He did not proceed to comprehend the fourth layer of the Stellar Soldier-Forging Art, for although its power was far greater, it required at least an understanding of the Laws of Rule to achieve cultivation.

Without cultivation at the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm or the Earth Immortal (Cultivation Realm) initial stage, it would be utterly impossible to master it successfully.

After dismissing the Mixed Origin Divine Armament, Eldrin emerged from the seclusion chamber only to find Lyra had been waiting for quite some time.

The moment Eldrin laid eyes on Lyra, his gaze instinctively brightened. After 3 1000 years apart, she had not only perfected her Lunar Immortal Body but also broken through to the Fifth Heavenly Ascension realm.

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but ask, "When did my lady emerge from seclusion?"

"3 months ago." Lyra (Person Name) spoke with a smile, then handed over a letter from her sleeve. "Word came from the Netherrealm that Patriarch Qing has achieved Ghost Immortal cultivation."

"Oh?" A flicker of delight crossed Eldrin's face. A few years prior, Patriarch Qing had reached the pinnacle of cultivation and begun preparing to undergo his heavenly tribulation to break through to the Ghost Immortal realm.

At that moment, he was immersed in comprehending the most critical stage of the Stellar Weaponry Art, so he had dispatched Kael (Person Name) to guard him. Little did he expect news would arrive so swiftly.

After taking the letter and glancing at it, Eldrin frowned slightly and said, "The Azure Ancestor has already broken through to become a Ghost Immortal. His intention is to establish a Netherworld."

"This was well within expectations." Lyra nodded. For a ghost immortal to cultivate, they required sufficient faith power.

As long as the Celestial Realm's Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) endured, they could continuously offer incense tributes to Ancestor Qing through sacred rites.

Yet, no ghost immortal would ever refuse more Faith Power. By establishing a Netherworld, 1 could harvest faith from the mortal realm's sacrifices.

Generally speaking, souls without influential backing must offer sufficient incense offerings to be granted reincarnation. If the incense offerings are insufficient, then apologies—you'll have to wait in line slowly. Perhaps after tens of thousands of years, you might still have a chance to be reborn as chickens, ducks, cattle, or horses.

With sufficient offerings of incense money, 1 could even be reborn into a top-tier immortal clan. Back then, the reason Caleb (Person Name) managed to reincarnate into a Nascent Soul immortal clan was partly due to the generous incense offerings made by the Chen family.

At this thought, Eldrin spoke up, "Our Chen Immortal Clan now has a considerable number of members, with those who have passed on in meditation being countless. The incense offerings used for ancestral rites each year alone amount to no small sum."

"Rather than offering this faith to the other Underworld Lords in the Netherworld, it would be better to give it to Elder Qing."
