Chapter 956 : Immortal Sword, Immortal Sword

Boom—

Just as the crowd was marveling, the mighty heavenly tribulation in the firmament finally descended.

Such a rare Pure Yang Heavenly Tribulation had not been seen in the Violet Realm for countless years. Its power could truly shake heaven and earth—so formidable that even a celestial physique like Eldrin (Person Name) revealed an expression of utmost solemnity.

Facing the might of such a heavenly tribulation, Eldrin reckoned that even with his immortal physique, he wouldn’t emerge unscathed if he took it head-on at full strength.

Yet facing such a heavenly tribulation, the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, it erupted with dazzling sword radiance that shot directly into the overwhelming sea of thunderous calamity.

The Immortal Sword, with its peerless power of slaughter, possessed an unyielding and indomitable edge of supreme sharpness. Even when confronting the Pure Yang Divine Thunder Tribulation, it showed not the slightest trace of fear.

Indeed, this tribulation lightning for the Immortal Sword's ascension proceeded without any surprises.

As the 3 bolts of Pure Yang Divine Lightning were withstood, the violet sword radiance finally descended, vanishing into Eldrin’s glabella.

"Immortal Sword, Immortal Sword!"

Eldrin closed his eyes, sensing the dazzling sword radiance within his dantian, unable to suppress the surging emotions in his heart.

The Immortal Sword is the most coveted treasure among countless cultivators, which is why all blades wielded by practitioners across the realm bear the title of "Immortal Sword." Yet how exceedingly rare it is to find a true immortal blade?

Throughout the entire Violet Realm, even if 1 traced back 100,000 years, only Jiang Huang had ever possessed a single immortal sword.

Eldrin had cultivated arduously for over 4 1000 years, finally elevating his natal immortal sword to the realm of a celestial treasure. From this moment forth, everything would be profoundly different.

With a peerless immortal sword in hand, his killing methods were potent enough to truly threaten the Outer Realm Demons. Coupled with his 10-1000-calamity-immune immortal body, even the Outer Realm Demons would have to think twice before daring to strike at him.

At this thought, Eldrin was naturally overcome with immense excitement.

The Palace Master of the nearby Dao Palace and the other quasi-immortals exchanged glances upon seeing this. They then stepped forward, cupping their hands in salute to Eldrin (Person Name) and said, "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist. Our sincerest felicitations."

"Fellow Daoist, with the successful ascension of your immortal sword, it seems your chances of weathering the Heavenly Tribulation have finally become 9 out of 10."

"You flatter me, fellow Daoists."

Eldrin shook his head, then clasped his hands with a smile and said, "Today, the Ascending Sword has successfully broken through its limits, and my heart overflows with joy. Since you have come, esteemed guests, why not grace my Verdant Chariot Mountain with a brief visit?"

"In that case, we shall accept with humble gratitude."

The successful ascension of a single immortal sword was an occasion of immense joy.

Eldrin did not host a grand banquet, yet he arranged a feast for several Demigod Ancestors, inviting them to celebrate at Verdant Chariot Mountain.

After the banquet concluded, Eldrin bid farewell to the guests.

Before parting, the master of the Dao Palace personally held him back for a few steps. He then glanced at Eldrin and said, "You have already mastered the Immortal Sword. When do you feel confident in comprehending the Heavenly Flame Law?"

Eldrin's eyes flickered faintly upon hearing this. After a moment of contemplation, he remarked, "With the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss aiding us, it shouldn't be long before we fully comprehend the Heavenly Flame Dao Principle."

"Very well."

The Master of the Dao Palace nodded, then explained with a solemn tone, "Within the Spiritless Sea, deep in the Eastern Ocean cultivation realm, lies an immortal treasury left behind by ancient celestials of a bygone era."

"If you comprehend the Laws of Heavenly Fire, journey to the Sea of Extinguished Spirits. Perhaps there you shall discover the location of the immortal's treasury."

"Senior, could it be that you know something?"

A glint sparkled in Eldrin's (Person Name) eyes as he couldn't resist asking.

The Sea of Severed Spirit was 1 of the Forbidden Lands of the Violet Realm, a place of profound peculiarities and wonders. Legend spoke of a supreme immortal treasure concealed within—a final contingency left behind by an ancient celestial.

Eldrin had ventured into the Spiritless Sea multiple times, hoping to uncover the immortal relics hidden within its depths. Yet the Spiritless Sea spanned hundreds of millions of miles—searching for its celestial treasures was no different from dredging a needle from the ocean.

Eldrin (Person Name) went there several times in succession, yet each trip ended with nothing gained.

Now, judging by the tone of the Palace Lord of the Listening Dao Hall, it seemed he had some understanding of the immortal trove, and so he could not help but inquire immediately.

The Palace Master shook his head, his expression tinged with regret as he said, "I have performed divinations on numerous occasions and even consulted predecessors of bygone eras, yet I remain unable to pinpoint the location of the immortal treasury."

Legend has it that the immortal treasury was left behind tens of thousands of years ago by the Void Refining Immortal of the Ji Clan before his ascension.

"The law cultivated by the Refining Void Immortal is the 'Divine Fire of Void Refinement'. I believe if you can comprehend the Heavenly Fire law, you might be able to invoke the Refining Void Immortal's power and locate that extraordinary treasure."

"So that's how it is."

Hearing this, Eldrin nodded, a glimmer of understanding flashing in his eyes.

As the last immortal before the Abyssal Cataclysm, the Void-Refining Immortal departed just as the Violet Realm was banished into the void. Yet he left behind no contingency measures—a truly perplexing matter in itself.

Now that it was revealed that the Forbidden Spirit Sea ruins were connected to the Void-Refining Immortal, it seemed to make some sense after all.

In ages past, the Void-Refining Immortal was also a figure of extraordinary brilliance. As early as 1 100 1000 years ago, he had mastered the Laws of Void-Refining Divine Flames, standing merely a celestial tribulation away from ascension.

After that, the Void Refining Immortal did not rush to ascend, but remained in the Violet Realm for a full 20 1000 years.

Over these 20 1000 years, the Void-Refining Immortal sought to forge an immortal body and cultivate a certain Dao Fruit of Ascension, yet he always fell short of that final step.

Until the Cataclysm of the Abyssal Demons arrived, the Void-Refining Immortal hastily weathered the Transcendent Ascension Heavenly Tribulation before ascending in a shower of celestial light to join the immortal realms.

After the Void-Refining Immortal mastered the laws, he remained in the mortal realm for another 20,000 years. Should he have left behind contingency measures during these 20 millennia to cope with heavenly tribulations, they would undoubtedly be astonishing.

This might be 1 of the keys to quelling the Abyssal Cataclysm, leaving Eldrin no choice but to treat it with utmost seriousness.

At that thought, Eldrin cupped his hands and said, "Many thanks for your guidance, Senior. After comprehending the laws, I shall inevitably journey to the Eastern Sea."

"Very well, I shall not detain you further."

Seeing that he had taken the advice, the Lord of the Dao Palace nodded and vanished into the void with a flick of his sleeve.

Clad in a black and gold daoist robe, Chen Xingyu ascended the mountain step by step, his expression a blend of exhilaration and unease.

As a rising star of the Chen Family in nearly a 1000 years, Chen Xingyu had cultivated from Qi Refining all the way to the Nascent Soul Realm, spending merely 4 100 and some years.

Now, having just passed 1 1000 7 100 years of age, he had already reached the late Nascent Soul stage. This pace of advancement could truly be described as advancing with crushing force.

A figure like him would be considered a top-tier genius even within the Chen Clan—a sacred land of Dao Lords. Across the vast world, he stood as a True Lord revered by tens of thousands of cultivators.

By all reasoning, his state of mind should have long become flawless, having reached a state of utter tranquility. Yet today, Chen Xingyu was restless and uneasy.

For the person he was about to meet today was not merely a legend of the Chen Immortal Clan, but a living myth revered across the entire Violet Realm.

"You have come!"

At some unknown time, a tranquil voice suddenly came from ahead.

Chen Xingyu looked up and saw a youth in a blue robe standing before him.

After a silent glance, Chen Xingyu felt a tremor in his heart and hastily bowed. "This disciple pays respects to the Patriarch!"

"Hmm!" 14,823/10,448,431
