Chapter 1568 : Unlocking the Dao's Boundless Power

Because such scriptures involve Great Dao Power [the fundamental, cosmic-level power of the Great Dao], they have the Great Dao [the supreme, underlying principle of existence] and Rule [the laws that govern reality] imprinted upon them.

Even if you were given the complete ancient scripture, unless you could unlock the Great Dao shackles binding it, you would never succeed in comprehending it. And the Great Dao Power is vast and boundless; attempting to break those shackles is likely a feat not even Ancient Immortals [powerful beings from a bygone era of cultivation] could accomplish.

Eldrin Chen understood this point and harbored no covetous thoughts towards this Six Lifetimes Sutra of the Buddha. He nodded slightly and said, "For the Divine Monk to be able to cultivate this sutra, your previous life's identity must have been extraordinary indeed."

"I imagine that upon one day ascending to the Immortal Domain [the realm of the Immortals], the Divine Monk will certainly attain the Celestial Immortal Great Dao [the path of a Celestial Immortal], and perhaps even glimpse that supreme realm." Hearing this, the Tribulation Transcending Divine Monk replied calmly, "It cannot compare to Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a fellow cultivator] Eldrin's peerless natural talent."

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen was about to say more, but his brow suddenly furrowed slightly. He then spoke, "Since the Purple Realm is safe, it is not fitting for me to linger."

"I shall entrust the Purple Realm to the Divine Monk's protection for now. We shall take our leave first to confront that Starry Sky Demon Race." With these words, Eldrin Chen bid farewell to the Tribulation Transcending Divine Monk. A wisp of his divine sense returned to his main body outside the Purple Realm.

After his divine sense returned, he did not delay. He immediately transformed into a streak of light and shot towards the depths of the starry void. With their speed, distances measured in light-years were traversed in the blink of an eye.

Eldrin Chen directly tore through the Void [the fabric of space itself]. In a single step, he traversed hundreds of light-years, arriving beyond the Void Realm.

As he arrived beyond the Void Realm, he discovered a group of horned Demon Race [a race of malevolent beings] relentlessly besieging three figures. "It is the Starry Sky Demon Race [a specific demonic race from the starry void]," the Master of the Dao Palace said, his brow creasing slightly as he scrutinized the scene before him.

Gazing upon these figures, the Master of the Dao Palace could not help but frown, his eyes narrowing as he assessed the situation. For the best reading experience, visit audio_novel.com.

Upon hearing this, everyone carefully observed the scene. The Starry Sky Demon Race [a powerful and rare lineage of demons] is an exceptionally formidable branch among the Demon Race. Their numbers are sparse, but any member that reaches adulthood is at least a Primordial Spirit Realm [a high stage of cultivation] existence.

Before the Void Realm [a specific realm or world], there were merely several hundred Starry Sky Demons, yet each was at the Primordial Spirit Realm. Among them, there were even seven or eight beings at the True Demon Realm [an even higher, more powerful demonic cultivation stage].

However, although the True Demon Realm is powerful, it was nothing significant to the assembled group. Every person present was capable of annihilating such foes with a mere flick of their fingers.

Eldrin Chen did not even need to act. With a mere flick of his sleeve, Lin Tianqi unleashed a cataclysmic tide of Sword Qi [sword energy, a manifestation of sword-based cultivation arts] that swept through the starry void, utterly annihilating the horde of Starry Sky Demon Race and rescuing the three figures.

The three rescued individuals, suddenly finding themselves safe, were immediately overcome with wild joy.

Among the three, an elderly man bowed deeply and said, "We offer our deepest gratitude for your lifesaving grace, esteemed Seniors." Seeing this, Eldrin Chen smiled faintly and replied, "Why such formality, Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a fellow cultivator] Huanxu?"

"Esteemed Senior recognizes this humble one?"

The elderly man was none other than the ascended Immortal [a being who has achieved immortality through cultivation] from the Void Realm, Lucian Huanxu.

In the past, the Void Realm had suffered an assault by the Calamity Demon God [a powerful demonic entity], bringing the entire world to the very brink of annihilation.

At that time, Eldrin Chen had personally mended the World's Primordial Membrane [the fundamental protective barrier of a world], saving the realm from imminent destruction. It was during that crisis that he had first met Lucian Huanxu.

Now, after several hundred thousand years have passed, Eldrin Chen has already broken through to the Late Stage Earth Immortal realm. Therefore, Lucian Huanxu did not immediately recognize the origins of Eldrin Chen.

However, beside Lucian Huanxu, a male and a female Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] glanced at Eldrin Chen. The woman could not help but hesitantly ask, "Senior, could you be the Eldrin, the Founding Patriarch of the Seven Saints Palace?"

"Indeed, I am."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod, replying with serene composure.

The two Immortals, man and woman, were immediately overcome with emotion. They prostrated themselves on the ground, saying, "Disciples Minghu and Lingspin pay our respects to our Founding Patriarch."

Only then did Eldrin Chen understand. These two were individuals who had Ascended to Immortality [achieved the state of an immortal being] within the last several hundred thousand years. They hailed from the Seven Saints Palace in the Void Realm, making them, in a sense, myself's spiritual descendants.

However, because the Seven Saints Palace was merely founded by a few of Eldrin Chen's nominal disciples, Eldrin Chen had not left behind myself's Dao Marker [a unique spiritual signature or token left by a powerful cultivator in a specific location] within the Immortal Domain. Consequently, these two had been unable to locate the Abyssal Immortal Alliance within the Immortal Domain.

Upon grasping this, Eldrin Chen nodded slightly. With a flick of his sleeve, he gently raised the two from their bow. A faint smile touched his lips as he spoke, "You have done reasonably well. Tell me, to which Immortal Domain [a realm of immortals] have you two ascended?"

"We two are currently within the Southern Brilliance Heaven Domain of the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain."

As the two spiritual descendants recounted their tale, Eldrin Chen gradually came to understand their circumstances.

It turns out that Minghu the Daoist was a disciple of the First Lineage of the Seven Saints Palace. He had only attained the Ascending to Immortality [the foundational realm of true Immortals] realm three hundred thousand years ago.

However, due to his ordinary talent and the fact that he had no Immortal Vein [a place of supreme spiritual energy suitable for Immortal cultivation] to cultivate within for the first hundred thousand years or so, his cultivation progress was extremely slow. To this day, he had only reached the Fourth Level of Immortal Ascension [the fourth minor stage within the Immortal Ascension realm].

Lingspin, the Immortal Maiden had ascended to Ascending to Immortality less than seventy thousand years ago. With the support of Minghu the Daoist, her cultivation journey had been relatively swift, and she had now reached the Third Heavenly Layer of Immortal Ascension [the third minor stage within the Immortal Ascension realm].

Yet, neither of them could have ever imagined that their own Patriarch was actually an Ancient Ancestor [a venerable, ancient progenitor of a lineage] of Late Stage Earth Immortal [the advanced stage of the Earth Immortal realm, a mighty existence] cultivation. Overwhelmed with joy, they were moved to tears and eagerly wished to formally acknowledge their ancestry and return to the clan.

Eldrin Chen had no objections; these were, after all, his own disciples' descendants. Their return to the Immortal Realm [the higher plane of existence where Immortals reside] to rejoin the ancestral clan was only natural. However, Lucian Huanxu could not remain calm. He now understood that Eldrin Chen was the Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality and attained longevity and power] he had befriended all those years ago.

Although he had long suspected that Eldrin Chen's origins were likely extraordinary, the fact that Eldrin Chen had cultivated to the level of an Eighth Level Earth Immortal [the eighth minor stage within the Earth Immortal realm, a pinnacle of power] in a mere several hundred thousand years still struck him as utterly inconceivable.

He could not accurately sense Eldrin Chen's cultivation level, but he vaguely perceived that the pressure emanating from Eldrin Chen far exceeded that of an ordinary Earth Immortal [a powerful Immortal realm above the foundational Immortal Ascension stage].

In the past, while attending a Barter Convention [a grand gathering for the exchange of rare cultivation resources], he had been fortunate enough to witness the presence of a Middle Stage Earth Immortal [the intermediate stage of the Earth Immortal realm]. At the time, he had felt that Earth Immortal Progenitor's aura was as deep and unfathomable as an abyssal sea.

But now he realized that the aura of that Earth Immortal was likely far inferior to that of Eldrin Chen.

In fact, any one of the eleven individuals accompanying Eldrin Chen far surpassed that Middle Stage Earth Immortal.

Even the weakest among them in cultivation, Dorian Ji, seemed to possess an aura more formidable than that Middle Stage Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has reached the intermediate stage of the Earth Immortal realm] from years past.

With this thought, he immediately became utterly reverent and exclaimed in profound astonishment, "To think that in a mere eight hundred thousand years, Senior has already ascended to such heights. Truly, you are worthy of being called..."

Lucian Huanxu spoke in shock, ultimately suppressing the thought that had arisen.

Eldrin Chen did not answer directly, merely nodding slightly as he said, "I heard that the Starry Sky Demon Race [a powerful demonic race said to originate from the starry void] was active in the lower realm, so I descended to investigate."

"I never imagined I would encounter old acquaintances and the disciples of my disciples here. It can indeed be counted as a fortunate happenstance."

Eldrin Chen stated calmly, then continued with a faint smile, "I observe that Fellow Daoist [a respectful term used between cultivators] has accumulated a perfectly full cultivation base. You are likely not far from the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm [a transitional state just before fully breaking through to the Earth Immortal realm]." "You flatter me, you flatter me."

Lucian Huanxu shook his head repeatedly. In his heart, he understood very clearly that becoming a Half-Step Earth Immortal represented a monumental threshold.

Although he was an ancient immortal who had lived for over a million years and had survived one Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic heavenly trial faced by high-level cultivators], his cultivation having reached the Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality [the pinnacle stage just below the Earth Immortal realm], crossing this final step without a heaven-defying opportunity would be an immensely arduous task.

Understanding this, Lucian Huanxu grew even more deferential towards Eldrin Chen. Experience the full epic at audio-novel . com.
