Chapter 1566 : Guardians of the Abyssal Sea

Aside from these individuals, within the Chen Immortal Clan, Kael Chen, Ethan Chen, and Qiyuan Chen had not yet returned.

The remaining Earth Immortal [powerful cultivators who have transcended the mortal realm and attained a profound connection with the earth's spiritual essence] from the Purple Realm [a major region within the vast cultivation world] had also nearly all arrived.

Understanding this point, Eldrin Chen spoke, "For this descent to the lower realms, the Immortal Alliance [a powerful coalition of immortal clans and sects] must leave behind sufficient strength to guard our holdings, lest we fall prey to the schemes of others."

Upon hearing his words, everyone nodded slightly. The Verdant Consort then asked, "Who do you propose should remain behind?"

Eldrin Chen pondered for a moment before replying, "The Flowing Fire Abode of Bliss [a blessed land of cultivation associated with the element of fire] can be entrusted to the care of the Separated Flame Deity, and the Setting Sun Blessed Land [a blessed land of cultivation] has Fellow Daoist Skywind."

"We only need to leave one top-tier powerhouse within the Abyssal Sea Region [a vast and strategically crucial sea region under the alliance's control]."

Nyssa Qu nodded in agreement and, after a brief moment of thought, suggested, "Perhaps Sister Lyra should be the one to stay."

"No..."

Lyra Jiang immediately shook her head, wishing to accompany Eldrin Chen on the journey.

However, Eldrin Chen agreed with Nyssa Qu's reasoning. He gave a firm nod and stated, "The Abyssal Sea Region is our foundation. It must be guarded by at least one top-tier cultivator at the Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal realm] stage. Lyra is, by nature, the most suitable candidate for this duty." Support the author by reading on audio-novel-dot-com.

"Moreover, your Black Dragon Ancient Cauldron [an ancient, powerful artifact] is also a crucial Formation Tool [a treasure used to anchor and power defensive arrays] for guarding the Abyssal Sea Region [a vast and perilous oceanic realm]."

Upon hearing this, Lyra Jiang understood that she was indeed the most suitable candidate to garrison the Abyssal Sea Region, and a soft sigh escaped her heart.

She glanced at Eldrin Chen, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Since it is so, you must all take care and be well."

Thus, the roster for the descent to the lower realm was finalized.

Those descending this time, besides Eldrin Chen, included four Eighth Level Earth Immortal [progenitors who have cultivated their earthly immortal foundation to the eighth stage]: Nyssa Qu, Verdant Consort, Lila, and Yvonne the Violet Consort.

Adding to them were six others: Lin Tianqi, the Master of the Dao Palace [the supreme leader of a major cultivation palace], the Void-Refining Immortal [an immortal renowned for mastering void-related arts], Dorian Ji, Freya Ji, and the Demon-Subduing Divine Monk [a monk of immense power who specializes in vanquishing demons]. In total, eleven Immortal [beings who have transcended mortality and ascended to immortality] would descend.

Though only eleven Immortal were descending, each was an Earth Immortal Progenitor [a foundational immortal of immense power], their combined strength surpassing that of thousands of ordinary Immortal.

With the roster settled, Eldrin Chen did not delay for long.

Soon after, he led the group, activating the Void Gate [a portal capable of traversing vast cosmic distances] to journey towards the Starry Sky Great Universe [the prime material universe, a cosmos of stars and realms]. Upon arriving in the Starry Sky Great Universe, they utilized the teleportation gates of the Celestial Court Star Palace [a celestial palace serving as a hub for cosmic travel] to traverse vast distances, swiftly arriving within a great Ronan [a star system or constellation].

Emerging from the Teleportation Formation [a magical array designed for instantaneous travel], Eldrin Chen gazed into the depths of the Boundless Starry Sky, in the direction of the Purple Realm [a distant and significant cultivation realm]. "The distance from here to the Frontier Star Domain [a remote stellar territory] is immense," he said. "The journey will likely take us several hundred years."

"Together, by pooling our strength and utilizing the Yin-Yang Void Realm [a supreme treasure capable of traversing the void between realms], we should be able to hasten our journey considerably."

With Eldrin Chen's words, the group immediately joined forces, using the Yin-Yang Void Realm to navigate through the Boundless Void [the infinite, starless expanse separating celestial domains].

For an ordinary Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to immortality], reaching the Frontier Star Domain would take nearly a Millennium. Fortunately, their cultivation bases were profoundly deep, and they continuously tore through the Void [the fabric of space itself] to advance. Their speed was not merely hundreds or thousands of times faster than a typical Immortal's.

After only a dozen or so years, Eldrin Chen had traversed the Boundless Void and arrived within the Frontier Star Domain, coming to a halt just outside the Purple Realm.

"Good. It seems we are not too late."

Upon arriving outside the Purple Realm, Eldrin Chen found the surroundings calm and peaceful, with no immediate signs of an assault by the Starry Sky Demon Race [a powerful demonic race that conquers star domains].

There, outside the Purple Realm, the Profound Star Abyss [a legendary formation-treasure] had transformed into a vast celestial river of starlight, enveloping the Purple Realm and shielding it securely.

"This Profound Star Abyss... it seems different from how it was in the past."

Gazing at the Profound Star Abyss before them, the Master of the Dao Palace [the supreme leader of the Dao Palace sect] furrowed his brow slightly, his voice tinged with doubt and surprise.

Eldrin Chen also gave a slow nod, a pensive gleam flashing in his eyes.

This descent to the lower realm differed from the last. Now, Eldrin Chen's cultivation had reached the Eighth Level Earth Immortal realm, making him incomparable to his former self.

With his current insight, he observed that after the Demonic Fiend Qi [malevolent demonic energy] within the Profound Star Abyss had completely dissipated, its power seemed to be gradually recovering.

Contemplating this, Eldrin Chen performed a brief divination with his fingers and spoke, "The Profound Star Abyss was originally a low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure [a treasure born from the primal forces of heaven and earth], the Companion Spirit Treasure [a treasure intrinsically linked to a being's birth and destiny] of the Profound Star Deity."

"Yet, for reasons unknown, the Profound Star Deity was corrupted by demonic blood. The Primordial Indestructible Spirit Light [the foundational, indestructible spiritual radiance at one's core] within him vanished, drastically weakening his foundation and causing his transformation into a Calamity Demon God."

"The Profound Star Abyss suffered the same fate. Its internal Primordial Indestructible Spirit Light appears to have been lost, leaving only the embryonic form of the treasure itself, which subsequently fell to the level of an Acquired Spiritual Treasure [a treasure forged or refined after creation, inferior to innate treasures]."

Upon hearing this, everyone was inwardly shaken. Official source: audio - novel . com. Unauthorized reproduction is prohibited.

Lila took a deep breath and could not help but ask, "What is the origin of that demonic blood? To think it could defile an Innate Spiritual Treasure and even destroy the foundation of an Ancient God [a primordial deity born from the fundamental principles of the cosmos]."

"I do not know either."

Eldrin Chen shook his head, his expression turning grave. "The Profound Star Deity was born embodying the Profound Star Great Dao [the supreme principle of the Profound Stars]. By all rights, upon coming into being, he should have instantly become a powerhouse of the 'Ancient God Realm'."

"For something to utterly ruin the foundation of such a being... that demonic blood must originate from an existence of at least the Great Luo [a legendary realm of supreme attainment, one step below the apex of cultivation] level."

Eldrin Chen spoke slowly, his expression growing increasingly grave.

The ancient deities of the Divine Race were true Supreme powerhouses, akin to the Ancient Immortal Great Power of the Human Race—beings who had one foot already within the Great Luo Realm.

Yet, such an existence had been schemed against and slain. The one who acted was likely at least at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Furthermore, considering that after the fall of the Profound Star Deity, the Profound Star Abyss was used to protect the Purple Realm, it was highly probable that the Purple Immortal Lord was involved behind the scenes.

Of course, the Profound Star Deity had been tainted by demonic blood, suggesting the Demonic Path Great Luo was also secretly meddling. The full web of cause and effect, however, was still beyond Eldrin Chen's ability to discern.

At this thought, Eldrin Chen took a deep breath and said, "The Profound Star Abyss has now recovered to the grade of a Taiyi Immortal Weapon, and it seems to have merged as one with the Purple Realm."

"It appears the safety of the Purple Realm faces no immediate threat for now."

Having said this, Eldrin Chen took a step into the Profound Star Abyss. Gazing upon the vast, boundless expanse of the Purple Realm, he could not help but sigh in relief.

"Since the Purple Realm is secure, let us first descend to the lower realm and take a look."

As Eldrin Chen's words fell, he immediately sent a strand of divine sense sinking into the Purple Realm, where it materialized into an avatar of divine thought, clad in White Robe as pure as snow.

The remaining individuals, witnessing this, all manifested their avatars and entered the Purple Realm.

A full eleven Earth Immortal [powerful cultivators who have ascended to a higher plane of existence] descended. Even though they were merely projections of divine sense, the power they displayed was exceptionally astonishing.

With their descent, the heavens and earth of the Purple Realm were stirred, winds rose and clouds surged.

In that instant, miraculous light descended from the sky, Earth-Surging Golden Lotus [a divine phenomenon where golden lotuses surge from the earth] bloomed, and billions of Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles governing reality] and threads of the Great Dao [the supreme, all-encompassing Path] manifested in their entirety, celebrating the descent of these Immortal [beings who have achieved immortality].

Within the Purple Realm, countless living beings raised their heads to discover eleven figures of peerless Immortal Grace [the transcendent aura and bearing of an immortal] standing tall between heaven and earth. Boundless Immortal Qi [the purified, higher-grade spiritual energy used by immortals] coiled around their forms,

radiating a light that illuminated all realms like the Supreme Yang [the ultimate, primordial yang energy]. "The True Immortal [a genuine, ascended immortal] have descended."

In that fleeting moment, countless cultivators were struck by this thought.

The Nascent Soul Dao Lord [cultivators who have formed a Nascent Soul and comprehended a Dao Path] of the Purple Realm, in particular, revealed expressions of ecstatic joy. "The Immortal take pity on all living beings, descending to quell the great calamity."

"The Immortal have descended; they have come to pacify the great calamity." This novel is serialized on audio-novel .c om. Visit for updates.
