Chapter 1395 : Heavenly Envoys and the Unbreakable Body

"You have returned. It is good that you have returned."

Eldrin Chen nodded slightly, a gesture of quiet acknowledgment.

Although Xander Dao Chen's cultivation realm was not high, having only achieved the World-Opening True Body [a legendary physical cultivation technique that forges a body capable of splitting primordial chaos], his foundation was exceptionally solid.

To Eldrin Chen's discerning eye, this Second Son's physical body was extraordinarily remarkable. Even if it could not compare to his own Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a supreme constitution said to be unbreakable as the primal chaos itself], it was still one of the most powerful World-Opening True Body he had ever witnessed.

"They are from the Celestial Court [the celestial bureaucracy governing the heavens]."

At the same moment, upon seeing the newcomers, Lord of the Flowing Fire Palace's gaze sharpened slightly.

The Azure Firmament Immortal Domain was immeasurably distant from the Primal Immortal Domain, and most key positions within the local Celestial Court were held by native Immortal [beings who have transcended mortality and ascended to immortality].

However, the training methods for the Celestial Soldiers and Generals [the elite military forces of the Celestial Court] could only be mastered by Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme rank among Immortals] who originated from the Celestial Court of the Origin Immortal Domain.

The Celestial Soldiers and Generals trained by the Celestial Court's methods each possessed combat power at the Ascension to Immortality Realm [the realm just prior to achieving full immortality], and were considered powerful even among Ascendant Immortal [those who have ascended to immortality].

Most importantly, when the Celestial Soldiers and Generals combined their formations, the power they could unleash was even more astonishing. Official source: audio-novel dot com. Unauthorized reproduction is prohibited.

Generally speaking, a formation of over one hundred Celestial Soldiers and Generals [the divine warriors and commanders of the Celestial Court] can contend with an Early Stage Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to the foundational stage of the Earth Immortal realm].

Yet before them stood a full thousand Celestial Soldiers, with three Earth Immortal Realm [the realm of Earth Immortals] Celestial Generals anchoring the formation's core, all supported by an Ancient Celestial Court Ship [a venerable vessel of the Celestial Court]. Combined, their power was more than sufficient to challenge even an Earth Immortal Great Perfection [a cultivator at the pinnacle of the Earth Immortal realm].

That such formidable martial might was assembled merely to escort a single individual was utterly beyond the expectations of the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace.

"This youth must be a person of great importance within the Western Abyss Celestial Court [the divine administration governing the Western Abyss]," the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace thought to himself.

His mind whispered the conclusion, a flicker of solemn gravity passing through his eyes.

Recalling the youth's words, he immediately cupped his hands in salute and said, "This humble one is Flowing Fire, greeting the honored envoys of the Celestial Court [the divine heavenly administration]. May I inquire what position the young master holds within its ranks?"

"How dare you!"

Before Xander Dao Chen could reply, one of the Celestial Generals beside him thundered with rage. "This is the Personal Disciple [a disciple taken under the direct tutelage of a master] of the Lord of the Western Abyss Celestial Court himself! How dare you presume such familiarity!"

"*Hummm—*"

Upon hearing this, the expression of the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace shifted dramatically.

The new master of the Celestial Court [the heavenly administrative body] within the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea is a Immortal Court True Lord [a high-ranking celestial official] of the Late Heaven Immortal Realm [a profound stage of immortal cultivation], whose cultivation is said to be unfathomably deep. Who would have thought he would take on a disciple here in the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea.

Such a personage addressing you as 'young friend' would place you on the same generational footing as the sovereign ruler of the Western Abyss Celestial Court [the celestial court governing the Western Abyss region] itself.

With this thought, the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace [the ruler of the palace of flowing fire and stars] felt a slight weight in his heart and could only say, "That was an oversight on my part."

To this, Xander Dao Chen offered no further comment.

He cupped his hands towards Eldrin Chen and then, with a single glance at the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace, spoke with a calm countenance, "A moment ago, Your Excellency spoke of taking my father as your disciple?"

The Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace pondered silently for a moment, realizing the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron [a mighty cauldron artifact capable of suppressing worlds] would not be claimed today. He then addressed Eldrin Chen, saying, "I spoke out of turn. I hope Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a fellow cultivator] will not take offense.

"I have pressing matters to attend to today, so This Sovereign [a self-referential term used by powerful beings] shall take his leave."

As his words faded, the simurghs and phoenixes pulled the immortal carriage, and the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace vanished into the Void [the formless, empty space between realms].

Only after the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace had departed did Eldrin Chen allow himself a soft sigh of relief.

He guided everyone back into the Immortal Hall [the main hall of the immortal abode] and then, cupping his hands towards Glaze Qu, said, "For today's affair, we are greatly indebted to the assistance of the Divine Lord [a title for a powerful deity]."

"It was but a minor favor."

Speaking to this point, Divine Lord Glaze said with a flicker in her gaze, "I have heard that during the Great Tribulation, the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace lost a Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure and is now in urgent need to replenish his Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound and stable cultivation base that forms the core of an immortal's power].

"Moreover, he was wounded by the Lord of the Western Abyss Dragon Palace. The power of the Water Element Dao Principle [a fundamental law of the universe governing water] rages within his body, and only a fire-attribute Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure [a supreme-grade magical artifact of immense power] can halt the worsening of his injury.

It is precisely the item he desperately needs."

"The Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron in your possession is extraordinary and qualifies as such a necessity for him." "Thank you for the reminder."

Eldrin Chen nodded, a trace of gravity flashing between his brows. The complete novel can be found at audio - novel . com.

The losses for the Flowing Fire Star Palace in the battle during the Great Tribulation were too severe. Now, more than half of its Deep-Seated Foundation has been depleted. Furthermore, it was wounded in its Primordial Source [the original, foundational life-force and spiritual essence of a being] by the Dao Principles [fundamental cosmic laws and truths] of a Heaven Immortal [an immortal who has ascended to the celestial realm].

An injury of this nature, if left unresolved, will gradually deteriorate over time.

To alleviate his own injury and to acquire a Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure, the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace came with an aggressive stance, intending to exchange the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron at a relatively low cost.

He had believed that with his own strength as a Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a cultivator on the very threshold of becoming a full Celestial Immortal], and by employing both soft persuasion and hard pressure, Eldrin Chen would surely present the Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure.

Yet how could he have foreseen that Divine Lord Glaze [the divine lord of the Glazed Abode of Bliss], whose cultivation had reached the Half-Step Heaven Immortal Realm [the realm just below that of a true Heaven Immortal], would be willing to stand up for Eldrin Chen.

Even more unimaginable was that Eldrin Chen's child had actually become a disciple of Heaven's Halberd Demon-Slaying True Lord [a True Lord renowned for slaying demons with his celestial halberd].

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen said with a grave expression, "Had today's events not occurred, there would be little cause for concern."

"But now that Lord of the Flowing Fire Palace [the sovereign ruler of the Palace of Flowing Fire] holds a grudge against me, I fear he may act recklessly, sparing no cost to seize the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron [a mighty cauldron artifact capable of suppressing worlds] from my grasp."

Upon hearing this, Divine Lord Glaze [the divine lord of the Glazed Abode of Bliss] frowned slightly, then spoke in reassurance, "You need not worry overmuch. Given my connection and that of the Celestial Court [the supreme heavenly administration], he would not dare to act against you directly."

"Nevertheless, you must remain vigilant henceforth, lest you fall prey to his covert schemes."

"I understand."

Eldrin Chen nodded, then mused thoughtfully, "I observed his injuries were severe. It is likely he will be unable to spare the effort to deal with me for some time."

Having said this, he spoke no more on the matter.

He arranged for the reception of the immortals from the Celestial Court [the supreme heavenly administration], and then the longevity celebration banquet commenced.

For this Eldrin Chen's one hundred thousand year longevity celebration, aside from his youngest son Caelus Chen who likely departed the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain long ago, most of his other children had already returned.

Eldrin Chen had already met with his other children, making Xander Dao Chen the last to return.

Among these five children, the eldest, Xander Chen, had now cultivated his cultivation base to the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm and had achieved both the Laws of the Dao and the Dual Dao Fruits.

His combat prowess was already comparable to an Eight-Calamity Immortal, lacking only the final step to cultivate the three Heaven-Opening Foundation.

Of course, this final step of condensing the Dao Fruit [the ultimate fruit of one's cultivation path] was the most difficult. Eldrin Chen estimated that without more than three hundred thousand years, Xander Chen would find it hard to truly step into that realm.

The second son, Xander Dao Chen, naturally required no elaboration. He had cultivated a Supreme [the highest grade] cultivation art from the Celestial Court [the supreme governing body of the heavens], named the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Art. Relying on just one Heaven-Opening Foundation, his combat strength was already comparable to an Eight-Calamity Immortal.

Most crucially, Xander Dao Chen was backed by a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme being among Heavenly Immortals]. Although his cultivation progress was not as rapid as the eldest son's—who had achieved two Dao Fruit—every step he took was exceptionally solid.

As for the resources needed for his future breakthrough to Earth Immortal, Eldrin Chen need not worry about them.

If the second son, Xander Dao Chen, was one who cultivated steadily, step by step, nurtured by a great power...

...and the eldest, Xander Chen, was one who bathed in blood and struggle, advancing through the Great Tribulation [a cosmic era of immense conflict and destiny] by relying on his formidable foundation, then Caelan Chen was one who plowed straight through the Great Tribulation, facing almost no peer who could match him within the same realm.

Caelan Chen inherited the prodigious talents of both Nyssa Qu and Eldrin Chen, and was born with the Thirty-Three Pearl Vast Sea Divine Pearls as his companion treasures. His innate potential and aptitude were truly boundless.

Possessing thirty-three Sea-Steadying Divine Pearl, his combat prowess was virtually unmatched among his peers. Thus, throughout this Great Tribulation, his gains were immense, and his path was one of relentless, unstoppable advancement. This content originates from audio‑novel.com. Please respect copyright.
