Chapter 1203 Guixu Sea Hidden Vein
In the celestial realms, an ordinary immortal typically breaks through to the middle stage of Ascendant Immortality in about 100,000 years, yet reaching the late stage of Ascendant Immortality often requires over 500,000 years.
Even the immortals of those blessed lands and celestial grottoes generally require a dozen or 2 100 1000 years of cultivation to reach this realm.
Now, Eldrin (Person Name) had only been an immortal for just over 30 1000 years, yet he had already cultivated to the late stage of Ascendant Immortal realm. Even among those blessed paradises and celestial abodes, he would undoubtedly rank among the most supreme prodigies.
Moreover, Eldrin had simultaneously cultivated 3 Dao Fruits, elevating each to the Sky-Touching Realm—a feat whose significance far surpassed that of any ordinary late-stage Ascension cultivator.
"I have been able to cultivate to this realm not only due to my extraordinary innate talent, but also largely thanks to the Starry Glazed Realm and the Immortal Peach Tree."
Eldrin (Person Name) murmured in delight, yet instantly suppressed the thought.
Pushing open the door from the seclusion chamber, he discovered that all the immortals who had been in secluded cultivation within the Starlit Glazed Realm had gathered here.
The master of the Dao Palace immediately cupped his hands with a smile and exclaimed in immense joy, "My congratulations, Fellow Daoist. With your breakthrough to the late-stage Ascendant Realm, it seems the Earth Immortal Realm is within reach!"
"Indeed, indeed." The Black Tortoise Patriarch also nodded repeatedly, beaming as he said, "To reach the late-stage Ascension Realm in just over 30,000 years—such talent would likely be considered peerless even in the Vastheaven Immortal Domain."
Upon hearing this, all the immortals revealed smiles. Now that they were all members of the Returning Abyss Alliance, they naturally rejoiced at Eldrin's advancement in strength.
Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) smiled faintly and said, "I've merely gained some minor insights. I appreciate your vigilance in guarding my cultivation."
"You are too courteous, Fellow Daoist. This is merely what we ought to do."
Breaking through to the late stage of Ascendant Immortal Realm was a momentous occasion for the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization).
However, to avoid drawing too much attention, Eldrin did not make a grand spectacle of it. He merely informed the Immortal Elders of the Abyssal Return Alliance.
Upon hearing the news, the 6 Stars Immortal immediately rushed to Verdant Chariot Mountain (Location) and sought out Eldrin (Person Name), demanding, "Have you truly broken through to the late-stage Ascendant Realm?"
"Indeed, it is so."
Eldrin nodded, revealing his cultivation level.
六辰仙人见状，不由深吸了一口气，他看了Eldrin (Person Name)许久，终于忍不住说道∶“你的天资才行，确实比老夫预期还要强的多。”
"Since you have attained such cultivation, it is time for you to learn of a certain matter."
Hearing this, Eldrin’s eyes flickered slightly. “What matter could possibly make you act with such caution?”
The 6 Stars Immortal smiled faintly, yet spoke with utmost solemnity, "This Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss is 1 of the 3,000 sea domains of the Western Expanse. By all accounts, it should possess at least 1 supreme-grade immortal-class earth vein."
"Do you know why there no longer exists even a single Heaven-ranked supreme earth vein within the Abyssal Sea?"
"Oh."
Eldrin (Person Name)眉心微皱，只是静静听六辰仙人道来。
The 6-Celestials Immortal swept a glance around the chamber and swiftly laid down a series of restriction arrays before finally beginning his tale in measured tones.
As he narrated, Eldrin gradually came to understand the cause and effect behind it all.
It turned out that as early as 100,000 years ago, there had existed a supreme-grade immortal fire vein within the Western Abyssal Sea of the Divine Depths.
In his rise to prominence, the Crimson Dragon Ancestor owed much to that supreme-grade immortal fire vein. Both his Crimson Dragon Heaven-Incinerating Sword and the peerless immortal treasures used in crafting his Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) and Gilded Gold Armor were treasures nurtured within that exceptional fire vein.
Over 1 100 1000 years ago, when Patriarch Crimson Dragon failed in his breakthrough to Earth Immortal, that supreme-grade immortal fire vein was also destroyed by his hand. Since then, the Abyssal Sea has never again possessed a supreme-grade immortal earth vein.
Hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) slightly furrowed his brow and said, "Since the fire vein has already been destroyed, what's the point of discussing this matter now?"
"That is precisely what this old man was about to say."
The 6 Stars Immortal stroked his long beard, a trace of confidence flashing in his eyes.
With a flick of his sleeve, he produced a treasure plate shimmering with 6 luminous stars. "Fellow Daoist, do you recognize this artifact?"
6 Stars Astrolabe.
Eldrin (Person Name) recognized at a glance that this star chart was the signature immortal treasure of the 6 Celestials Immortal (Person Name).
The 6-Celestials Immortal, however, chuckled, "Wrong. This is the Liuren Astrolabe."
Hearing these words, Eldrin felt a sudden tremor in his heart.
A single character's difference made a world of distinction. The Liuren Star Plate was an exceedingly rare treasure of divination, something countless immortals sought after in vain. Its value far surpassed what the Liuchen Star Plate could ever hope to match.
The 6-Celestial Immortal gave a slight nod and began recounting, “I have been a wandering cultivator roaming the Western Expanse’s Divine Abyssal Sea for nearly a million years. Yet, why would I abandon such unfettered cultivation to compete for spiritual mountains in this Sea of Returning Ruins?”
"For I once divined with this 6 Ren Star Plate that a great dragon would turn over in the Return Abyss Sea, and a momentous opportunity was about to emerge. That is why I laid my plans there so early."
The Great Dragon Turns Over
Eldrin (Person Name) furrowed his brow slightly, an involuntary gravity settling upon his features.
The 6-Star Immortal nodded slightly before speaking, "The Boundless Abyssal Sea rivals the Sunset Expanse in vastness. As 1 of the 3 1000 seas within the Western Celestial Abyssal Ocean and a convergence point of water element, it stands to reason this should be the most fertile ground for birthing aqueous veins."
Yet for millions of years, not a single precious water vein had emerged in these seas, all because the aqueous power of the Returning Abyss Sea was suppressed by an Immortal-grade supreme fire vein, preventing it from coalescing into form.
Even so, the vast aqueous elemental power of the Abyssal Chasm Sea had converged into a hidden dragon vein, concealed deep within these waters.
"Now that the supreme-grade fire vein has been dispersed for 1 100 1000 years, by my reckoning, that hidden dragon vein should soon be turning over."
"Indeed, it is so."
Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) felt a sudden tremor in his heart, his face revealing a mixture of astonishment and delight.
If the 6 Stars Immortal’s calculations were correct, the Hidden Dragon Vein in the Abyssal Sea was, at the very least, a top-grade immortal-class water vein.
Such a water vein is virtually priceless, as it is certain to nurture supreme-grade immortal treasures. Should its existence be revealed, even the Setting Sun Blessed Land and the surrounding major powers would undoubtedly covet it.
Given the Chen Clan's current strength, whether they can hold onto it remains highly uncertain.
The 6 Stars Immortal paused briefly before continuing, "The reason I disclose this to you is that I wish to join forces in developing that hidden spiritual vein together."
Hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) nodded slightly and said, "Such a water vein would likely be of immeasurable value. Have you managed to deduce its location?"
The 6 Stars Immortal shook his head and said, "My current cultivation level is insufficient to precisely calculate its exact location."
"If I can break through the Ninth Heavenly Ascension and cultivate my laws to the absolute pinnacle of this realm, I should have a 70 to 80 percent chance of success."
Eldrin’s brow twitched slightly, and he couldn’t help but ask, “The Ninth Layer of Ascension is a major threshold. Do you need my assistance?”
"This is precisely why I need you."
The 6 Stars Immortal’s expression turned grave. Taking a deep breath, he said, “5 1000 years from now, I will need your assistance to secure a spot at the Law Stele of Heaven.”
"If this matter comes to fruition, my breakthrough to the ninth level of Ascendant Immortal Realm will be as natural as water flowing downhill."
