Chapter 1441 : Veiled Destiny and Hidden Realms

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen let out a slight sigh of relief.

At present, his greatest concern was actually the exposure of his foundation, which was established upon the Thirteen-Layered Heavens. It now seemed the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven had yet to fully discern his hidden cards.

Of course, this outcome was largely within expectations. Eldrin Chen did not know if the Primordial Scripture [a supreme cultivation art of profound mystery] could truly conceal one's destiny and fortune.

However, even back when he first Ascended to Immortality, Divine Lord Glaze had remarked that his fate was unusual, making it difficult even for a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme being among Heavenly Immortals] to deduce his path.

Furthermore, now that Eldrin Chen had refined the Innate Spiritual Treasure known as the Abyssal Pearl, with this Supreme [a rank denoting ultimate power] treasure anchoring his fortune, it was likely that not even a Great Luo Golden Immortal [a legendary, near-mythical realm of cultivation] could easily trace his fate.

With this thought, his gaze turned to the dossiers concerning Lyra Jiang and the others.

The dossier on Lyra Jiang noted an evaluation: suspected of having stepped into the Forbidden Realm [a legendary and perilous stage of cultivation], having opened at least the Ninefold Heavens [a metaphorical representation of one's foundational cultivation realm].

The information on Verdant Consort suggested she had mastered three types of Heaven-Opening Foundation [foundational arts used to establish one's cultivation base], indicating she had likely opened at least the Eighth Heaven or higher.

The assessment for Nyssa Qu was the most precise, stating she possessed the bloodline of the Nine-Colored Immortal Clam [a mythical clam beast of immense spiritual power] and had likely opened the Ninefold Heavens and Earth [a complete and supreme foundational realm], granting her the potential of a Paragon of the Great Luo Golden Immortal [a destiny leading to the pinnacle of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm].

As for the remaining individuals, Lila and Yvonne the Violet Consort, they were marked as having dual Heaven-Opening Foundation, their foundations estimated to be around the level of the Sixfold Heavens. For more chapters, visit www . audio-novel.com for the complete novel.

Ethan Chen, Kael Chen, and Qiyuan Chen were also individuals of particular note, deemed highly likely to have opened Sixfold Heavens or more.

The reason Divine Abyss Abode of Bliss did not believe these individuals could open the Seventh Heaven was not only because they hadn't anticipated these cultivators achieving the Three Types of Heaven-Opening Dao Fruits, but also because they didn't believe the Chen Immortal Clan possessed so many World-Opening Spiritual Root.

Overall, the evaluation given by Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven for the Abyssal Abode of Bliss was that it was reputed to have a not insignificant possibility of opening a Grotto-Heaven.

Yet, they were considered to have been born at an inopportune time, believing it would be difficult for them to cultivate to the Late Stage Earth Immortal realm before the Dao Tribulation [the great cosmic calamity marking the end of an era], and they were likely to be among the first powers to perish during the Dao Tribulation.

"This third set of intelligence data estimates the numbers of Immortal [the foundational immortal realm] and Earth Immortal Progenitor [an earthbound immortal progenitor] with remarkable accuracy, yet it ultimately failed to see through our true hand."

Eldrin Chen set down the documents in his hand, a faint smile gracing his lips as he spoke.

The others also breathed a sigh of relief. Lyra Jiang remarked with a smile, "In recent years, aside from our closest allies, all who have witnessed our true strength have perished."

"Although the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven is formidable, completely unraveling our secrets is likely beyond even their reach."

Qiyuan Chen nodded in agreement, his gaze thoughtful. "Within the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, the number of Immortal reaches into the millions, and there are over twenty thousand Earth Immortal Progenitor."

"In such a vast expanse of sea, nearly every Millennium sees a multitude of newly ascended Immortal and a significant number of Earth Immortal Progenitor achieving breakthroughs. The strength of the various Blessed Land [a land blessed with abundant spiritual energy] waxes and wanes, constantly in flux."

"This map can serve as a reference, but if you treat it as reliable intelligence, its accuracy must be discounted."

Eldrin Chen nodded upon hearing this and casually opened the dossier on the Glazed Blessed Land.

The Glazed Blessed Land appeared to be a force of particular focus for the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven, specially marked within the records.

According to this information, Divine Lord Glaze was believed to have cultivated the Supreme Unity Immortal Physique and ranked among the top thirty Half-Step Celestial Immortal within the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen glanced at the map of the Flowing Fire Star Palace.

The Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven also paid close attention to the Flowing Fire Star Palace. This dossier estimated the Palace possessed a force of three thousand Immortal [cultivators who have ascended to the Immortal Realm] and eighteen Earth Immortal Progenitor [powerful Earth Immortals who are founders or patriarchs of a lineage].

Among these eighteen Earth Immortal Progenitor, there was one Half-Step Celestial Immortal, one Late Stage Earth Immortal, six Middle Stage Earth Immortal, and ten Early Stage Earth Immortal.

Furthermore, there were two Sect-Guarding True Spirit [powerful spiritual beings bound to protect a sect or clan]—the Azure Simurgh and Fire Phoenix—both of whom had reached the Middle Stage Earth Immortal realm.

Eldrin Chen also noted that the Late Stage Earth Immortal individual was precisely the Flowing Flame Immortal Maiden, who seemed to have newly advanced to that stage following the recent Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic, era-defining calamity].

The map also provided a detailed description of the forces under the command of the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace.

The Lord of the Flowing Fire Palace was a Half-Step Celestial Immortal who had cultivated a Taiyi Dao Principle [a supreme principle of primordial unity]. Among the more than thirty Half-Step Celestial Immortal in the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, his cultivation and combat prowess were considered merely average.

His combat strength was roughly equivalent to one who had survived four Dao Tribulation [heavenly trials that test a cultivator's Dao]. Without external aid, his chances of cultivating a second Primordial Foundation [the foundational cultivation stage of a Primordial Immortal] were, at most, no greater than one in ten.

The Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven [a mystical realm of profound spiritual energy] assessed that, barring a greater stroke of fortune, even if the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace by chance managed to cultivate two Primordial Foundation, his likelihood of successfully reversing his nature to the primordial and breaking through to the Heaven Immortal Realm [the realm of true Celestial Immortals] would not exceed three in ten.

Most critically, the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven believed the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace had been grievously wounded by the Dragon King of the Western Abyss, and his injuries were continuously worsening.

Without an Eighth Rank Supreme Grade or higher supreme-grade Healing Immortal Pill [a miraculous pill capable of healing even immortal wounds], or a fire-attribute Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure [a supreme treasure of creation-level power] to refine the Water Element Dao Principle [the fundamental principle of Water] power within his body, his wounds would gradually deteriorate.

At most, in another one hundred sixty to one hundred seventy thousand years, the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace would be unable to suppress his injuries. They would likely damage his very cultivation foundation, utterly extinguishing any hope of reaching the Heaven Immortal Realm. Support the author by reading on audio novel.com.

"At most, he has one hundred sixty to one hundred seventy thousand years. If the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace finds no other solution by then, I fear he will be unable to resist striking against us."

Reading this, Lyra Jiang spoke with an expression of utmost gravity.

Hearing her words, everyone's brows furrowed deeply. Eldrin Chen's eyes darkened slightly as he said, "I fear he does not have one hundred sixty thousand years. If I were the master of the Flowing Fire Star, I would not wait until the final moment to take the risk."

"If my estimation is correct, he is waiting for the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron [a mighty cauldron treasure] to recover. The moment it is restored, he will most likely act immediately."

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, their expressions a mixture of gravity and uncertainty.

Kael Chen took a deep breath and spoke, "The Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron [a legendary artifact of immense power] will be fully restored in one hundred fifty thousand years. That means we have only that span of time to prepare."

Verdant Consort nodded, her gaze solemn. "We must at least break through to the Middle Stage Earth Immortal [the intermediate level of the Earth Immortal cultivation stage] to barely stand a chance against him in battle."

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen furrowed his brow slightly.

He understood that Verdant Consort's calculation was correct. Although the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace was severely wounded, his combat power was still equivalent to at least three or four cultivators at the Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle of the Earth Immortal stage].

If he disregarded his injuries and unleashed his ultimate power, he might even be capable of a strike that could slay a Earth Immortal Great Perfection cultivator. With their current strength, they were far from ready to confront him.

Under such circumstances, they indeed needed to reach at least the Middle Stage Earth Immortal realm to have a fighting chance.

For Immortals like them, who had opened Ninefold Heavens [the highest tier of foundational potential] or more, breaking through to Middle Stage Earth Immortal would bring a monumental leap in power.

By then, within the Chen Immortal Clan, each of the nine Earth Immortal Progenitor [foundational Earth Immortals of the clan] would possess combat strength rivaling that of a Late Stage Earth Immortal.

And Eldrin Chen's own power would advance even further, sufficient to match some Earth Immortal Great Perfection experts who had opened the sixth or Seventh Heaven [the seventh tier of foundational potential].

With such combat prowess, though it still falls far short of an Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal realm] cultivator who has mastered three types of Heaven-Opening Foundation [foundational cultivation arts that open the path to the heavens] and opened the Eighth Heaven [the eighth of the nine heavens, a profound cultivation milestone] or higher, it at least means they are no longer utterly defenseless.

Similar to Eldrin Chen, if Lyra Jiang were to break through to the Middle Stage Earth Immortal [the intermediate phase of the Earth Immortal realm], her combat power might also brush against the threshold of the Earth Immortal Great Perfection.
