Chapter 911 : Crocodile Ancestor
For Eldrin (Person Name) today, a top-grade Pure Yang spiritual treasure could scarcely enhance his combat prowess any further.
However, once he refined all 5 of his Lifebound Pure Yang Spirit Treasures, his combat prowess would likely surge by approximately 30 percent.
Especially the Twin Swords of Celestial Departure, after ascending to the rank of top-grade Pure Yang Spirit Treasure, could unleash a combined strike rivaling the full-force blow of a near-immortal artifact when wielded in unison. For Eldrin, this equivalently granted him an additional trump card.
Moreover, the defense of the Creation Azure Jade Lotus was greatly enhanced, and its capacity to store magical power increased by an additional 50 percent.
The Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void (Magic Treasure) had reached the power to subdue all divine treasures across the realms. Even a top-grade Pure Yang Immortal Sword would fall under its dominion.
The Earth-Sovereign Bell had now ascended in rank as well. Though its defensive capabilities could not compare to a near-immortal treasure, nor were they a match for Eldrin's (Person Name) supernatural power, the Primordial Chaos True Aura, it was still more than sufficient to serve as 1 of Eldrin's (Person Name) life-preserving methods.
Refining these 5 spiritual treasures proved to be quite troublesome. Fortunately, Eldrin’s current magical power was comparable to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, and with the assistance of a sixth-tier subterranean fire vein, the process did not take too much time.
In merely 1 cycle of 60 years, Eldrin had successfully elevated all 5 of those spiritual treasures.
After refining the spiritual treasure, Eldrin discovered that Chen Changxuan had been waiting outside the cave abode for a considerable time.
As he emerged from seclusion, Chen Changxu stroked his long beard and said, "1 cycle of 60 years has now passed. Cultivators from all clans across the Violet Realm have gathered at Verdant Chariot Mountain (Location), awaiting the day you commence your sermon and establish your lineage."
"If you don't emerge from seclusion soon, I'll have no choice but to disturb you."
Eldrin (Person Name) counted on his fingers briefly before smiling faintly. "There are still over a month until the day of the Dao Discourse. There's no need to rush."
"The other day I sensed someone undergoing a heavenly tribulation. I wonder which clan member has broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm?"
There were 2 people in total.
Chen Changxu stroked his long beard and said with a smile, "1 is your disciple Lyra, Gu Lanshan, and the other is the Qingci Wanderer."
"Oh?"
Mentioning the 2, Eldrin’s brow twitched slightly, and a look of speechless astonishment crossed his face.
2 Nascent Souls in 1 sect, and both achieving their breakthroughs almost simultaneously—Greenscroll Wanderer and Gu Lanshan could truly be considered a legend.
At this thought, he smiled faintly and said, "In a few years, I plan to journey beyond our borders. Within the next 3 100 years, our clan will likely witness the emergence of several more Primordial Spirits."
"Regarding all matters pertaining to breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, I must trouble you, Ancestor, to devote your utmost care."
"Rest assured." Hearing him bring up family matters, Chen Changxuan replied with a beaming smile, "With me watching over the clan, you have nothing to worry about."
"Then I can rest easy!"
Eldrin nodded slightly, which once again summoned Ye Qingfeng.
Ye Qingfeng bowed respectfully upon seeing Eldrin (Person Name) and said, "Your disciple pays respects to the Master."
After a careful glance at Ye Qingfeng, Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod and said, "I summoned you today to entrust you with a matter."
"Master, please give your instructions."
Eldrin nodded and began recounting, "Over 1 1000 years ago, I once promised Brother Dinghai that I would seize the lower reaches of the Eastern Barrens' Ancestral River for him to serve as his cultivation sanctuary."
"However, the previous Cataclysm of the Demonic Abyss caused delays, so I never took action. Now that over a 1000 years have passed, and that Crocodile Ancestor contributed significantly during the cataclysm, it would be unbecoming for me, as his elder, to make a move and bully the younger generation."
At these words, Eldrin flicked his sleeve, and the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss flew out with a resonant clang.
But lo, the resplendent violet radiance of the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) coalesced, transforming into a purple immortal sword with restrained sword aura that descended into Ye Qingfeng's grasp.
Then, a treasure mirror radiating Yin-Yang splendor unfurled and vanished into the void.
It was only then that Eldrin spoke, “With the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss and the Void Mirror in your possession, do you consent to exchanging your cultivation grounds in the Eastern Sea Immortal Realm?”
"If he agrees, then go to the Southern Sea Cultivation Realm and slay the Serpent Emperor of the Abyssal Waters."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingfeng’s heart trembled—the fate of a Primordial Spirit Dao Lord had already been sealed by Eldrin (Person Name).
Moreover, he had a vague premonition that this was merely the beginning. Throughout the hundreds of years of the Abyssal Cataclysm, numerous Primordial Spirit Ancestors from the demon and monster races had chosen to stand by as bystanders.
Now that Eldrin (Person Name), an existence not quite a half-immortal yet surpassing 1, had emerged into the world, even if he did not personally take action to settle scores, he would likely have his disciples and followers systematically deal with them.
The only reason Ye Qingfeng was tasked to take action this time was for the sake of the disciples under their sect.
For Eldrin, a Primordial Spirit, Early Stage entity like the Abyssal Serpent Emperor was no longer worth his personal attention.
At this thought, Ye Qingfeng solemnly embraced the immortal sword and immediately prostrated himself, declaring, "Master, rest assured. This disciple shall not fail in this mission."
In the Eastern Wastelands (Location), there surged a heaven-scraping river.
It stretched across the heavens and earth like a true dragon, traversing the entire Eastern Wastelands (Location) from west to east.
Having existed for countless millennia with its intricate network of tributaries, this river system had converged nearly all aqueous primordial energy of the Eastern Wastelands, thus earning the epithet "Ancestral River of the Eastern Barrens".
At the estuary where the Eastern Barren Ancestral River meets the sea, colossal water elemental forces converged to form the Eastern Barren Delta.
At the heart of this delta, an immense island split the ancestral river, intercepting over half of its boundless water elemental energy to prevent it from flowing into the sea.
This was a cultivation site of the highest-grade water vein, and for those dedicated to practicing water-element magic power, it was 1 of the most coveted supreme treasures.
Yet this treasured land was ruled by an utterly terrifying master—the Crocodile Ancestor, a pinnacle existence among demonic beings who had attained the Dao for nearly 10 1000 years.
But on this day, the Crocodile Ancestor suddenly sensed an overwhelmingly terrifying aura approaching, feeling his heart race and nerves tremble.
With an expression of utmost gravity, he gazed toward the horizon and could not help but utter in a solemn tone, "Who might you be, esteemed 1? Why not reveal yourself promptly?"

Having existed since time immemorial with countless intricate tributaries, this river system had converged nearly all aqueous primordial energy of the Eastern Wastelands, earning it the name Ancestral River of the Eastern Wastelands.
At the estuary where the Eastern Barren Ancestral River meets the sea, torrential water elemental forces converged to form the Eastern Barren Delta.
At the heart of this delta, an immense island split the ancestral river, intercepting over half of its boundless water-essence energy and preventing it from flowing into the sea.
This was a supreme water vein cultivation site, 1 of the most coveted supreme treasures for those specializing in the cultivation of water element mana.
Yet this treasured land was ruled by an utterly terrifying master—the Crocodile Ancestor, a supreme being among demonic creatures who had attained the Dao for nearly 10 1000 years.
But on this day, the Crocodile Ancestor felt an overwhelmingly terrifying aura descend upon him, and was suddenly seized by a sense of dread.
With an expression of utmost gravity, he gazed toward the horizon and couldn't help but utter in a deeply solemn tone, "Who might you be, sir? Why not reveal yourself promptly?"
Chapter 1: The Abandoned Disciple The icy rain fell like shattered jade, each drop piercing through Lin Chen's tattered robes. Clutching his broken dantian, he stumbled through the muddy path of the Outer Sect, his face as pale as death. "Look! It's that waste who failed his breakthrough!" "Tch, still putting on airs as the former genius? Without his cultivation, he's not even worth a stray dog." The mocking voices cut deeper than the winter wind. Lin Chen's nails dug into his palms, drawing blood that mingled with the rain. 3 days ago, he had been the most promising core disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect. Now, he was but a cripple awaiting expulsion. Suddenly, a blinding golden light erupted from his chest. The world spun, and when his vision cleared, he found himself in an ancient hall floating amidst swirling nebulae. "Congratulations, successor. You have awakened the Primordial Chaos Sanctuary." An ethereal voice echoed as countless golden characters swirled around him, forming the characters for "Primordial Chaos Scripture." Lin Chen's heart raced—this was a legendary inheritance from the primordial era! [Host's spiritual roots detected: Mixed 5 Elements] [Beginning reconstruction of dantian...] Excruciating pain coursed through his meridians, followed by unprecedented clarity. The spiritual energy he hadn't felt for days came flooding back, purer and denser than ever before. When he reopened his eyes, his gaze sharpened like an unsheathed sword. "Jiang Li... Senior Brother Zhao... just you wait. I, Lin Chen, will return." Stepping out of the downpour, his tattered robes now billowing with restrained power, he looked toward the distant main peak where the Sect Master resided. A faint, cold smile touched his lips. The game had just begun.
