Chapter 1611 : The Forbidden Lands Beckon

Having completed the cultivation of the Ice Vein Cultivation Art [a profound method for attuning one's cultivation to the power of glacial energy], Eldrin Chen did not linger within the Forbidden Land [a perilous and restricted region of immense power and danger]. By the time he emerged from the Fallen Phoenix Ridge [the Ridge of the Fallen Phoenix, a forbidden land imbued with ancient phoenix essence], he realized that this period of secluded cultivation had lasted for over thirty thousand years.

"One of the Three Wonders has been obtained."

"Now, it is time to proceed to the next Forbidden Land."

Eldrin Chen turned his gaze back towards the Fallen Phoenix Ridge, falling into deep contemplation.

He unfurled a scroll of intelligence in his hand, his eyes settling upon the second destination he was destined for.

"The Soaring Immortal Ruins [the Ruins of the Soaring Immortal, a forbidden land of tempestuous winds]."

"And the Ten Directions Annihilation Sea [a sea of utter annihilation, a forbidden land of cataclysmic thunder]." As he reviewed the intelligence before him, Eldrin Chen's eyes flickered, recalling the origins of the two Forbidden Lands he was about to enter.

Within the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain [the Vast Azure Immortal Domain, the overarching realm of the story], there were several Forbidden Lands similar to the Fallen Phoenix Ridge. However, few possessed both the relatively lower peril of the Fallen Phoenix Ridge and met Eldrin Chen's specific requirements.

The remaining Soaring Immortal Ruins was the sole wind-attribute Forbidden Land within the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain, and the Ten Directions Annihilation Sea was likewise the only Forbidden Land of the Thunder Attribute [imbued with the primordial power of thunder]. Eldrin Chen had no other choice.

According to the intelligence Eldrin Chen had gathered, the dangers of these two Forbidden Lands far exceeded those of the Fallen Phoenix Ridge. It was said that not one, but multiple Heavenly Immortal Paragons [cultivators who have ascended to the pinnacle of the Heavenly Immortal realm] had met their end within their depths.

The masters of these two Forbidden Land [places of extreme danger and mystery], the Soaring Immortal Ruins are the ancient ruins of the Soaring Immortal Palace from hundreds of millions of years ago. They are located above the Vast Azure Heaven [the highest celestial realm], requiring one to ascend to the Vast Azure Heaven to reach them.

The Ten Directions Annihilation Sea is an even more boundless land of utter destruction. Legends say the Ten Directions Annihilation Sea may have been formed from the fall of a Great Luo Golden Immortal [a supreme immortal realm]. Others whisper that within the Ten Directions Annihilation Sea lies a shattered Innate Spiritual Treasure [a supreme treasure born from the primordial chaos].

"Which Forbidden Land should we go to?" Eldrin Chen pondered deeply, falling into contemplative silence.

Both of these Forbidden Land possess extraordinary origins. Among them, the Ten Directions Annihilation Sea is incomparably perilous, harboring terrifying Tribulation Thunder Spirit Beings [sentient beings formed from tribulation lightning]. It is said that over the course of ten Calamity Tribulations [cosmic cycles of cataclysm], six Heaven Immortals [immortals of the celestial realm] have perished within its depths.

The Soaring Immortal Ruins are the former site of the 'Soaring Grotto-Heaven' [a supreme paradise], the overlord of the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain [a vast immortal realm] from before ten Calamity Tribulations.

In that era, the Soaring Grotto-Heaven was the foremost power in the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain. Its ruler, the Soaring Immortal Maiden, possessed unfathomable cultivation. She wielded the authority of the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain's Heavenly Dao [the celestial law of that realm], becoming the rightful and undisputed master of the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain.

Unfortunately, the Soaring Immortal Maiden later sought to break through to the Great Luo Realm [a legendary supreme realm]. This ambition led to a cataclysmic battle against a supreme existence from the depths of the Primordial Chaos [the formless void before creation].

After that battle, the vast expanse of the Vast Azure Heaven collapsed for the most part, and the Soaring Grotto-Heaven was reduced to a field of ruins.

To this day, the path between the Vast Azure Heaven and the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain has been severed. They are now separated by terrifying Chaos Currents [currents of primordial disorder] and spatial turbulence. It is said only beings at the level of a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a pinnacle celestial immortal] can traverse the spatial chaos and ascend to the Vast Azure Heaven. "To reach the Soaring Immortal Ruins, one must first ascend to the Vast Azure Heaven."

"The Chaos Currents and turbulence between the Immortal Domain and the Vast Azure Heaven are potent enough to utterly annihilate even a Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a cultivator on the verge of true immortality]. However, I possess the Innate Yin-Yang Void Mirror [a primordial treasure governing duality and void]. These Chaos Currents and turbulent flows should pose little difficulty for me."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, his resolve crystallizing in that moment.

He immediately ascended towards the Firmament [the highest layer of the heavens], intent on reaching the Vast Azure Heaven [a legendary celestial realm] to explore the ruins of the Grotto-Heaven [a blessed paradise dimension] that predated countless Calamity Tribulation [cosmic cycles of destruction and renewal].

Not long after, Eldrin Chen arrived at the zenith of the boundless Firmament, the majestic and turbulent terminus of the Void [the primordial emptiness from which all things manifest].

Lifting his gaze, he beheld, within the ineffable domain of the Firmament Heaven [the supreme heavenly principle], a vast and boundless ancient continent floating in its midst.

This ancient land was immeasurably vast, suspended within the Nine Heavens Above [the highest celestial strata]. Even with Eldrin Chen's current cultivation level, he could not see its ends with a single glance. "Could that be the Vast Azure Heaven?"

Eldrin Chen murmured quietly, a ripple of awe stirring within his eyes.

The Vast Azure Heaven hung aloft in the Nine Heavens Above, distinct and separate from the immense Azure Firmament Immortal Domain [the primary immortal world]. Only a few specific Celestial Ascension Paths granted passage to its heights.

Legend held that before the Immeasurable Kalpa [an epoch of cosmic dissolution], the Vast Azure Heaven was the Daoist Assembly Ground [a sacred gathering place for disciples] of Qing Cang, the Great Deity within the Primordial Chaos [the formless state before creation]. Only his direct disciples were permitted to cultivate within its confines.

All others who wished to ascend had to traverse the ancient Celestial Paths and earn the recognition of Qing Cang, the Great Deity himself.

In the present age, these ancient ascension paths lay broken, their routes eroded by Chaos Currents [turbulent flows of primordial energy] and spatial turbulence. Without cultivation at the Heaven Immortal Realm [a supreme immortal stage], attempting to set foot upon them was tantamount to seeking one's own demise.

With the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void in hand, Eldrin Chen harbored considerable confidence in his endeavor. Without a moment's hesitation, he set forth. He strode along the crumbling ancient path, and before he knew it, he had traversed more than half of the ancient continent.

"Such potent spatial turbulence and Chaos Qi [the primordial, formless energy from which all things are born]."

As he ascended further, Eldrin Chen sensed a terrifying onslaught of spatial turbulence approaching, and a grave expression settled upon his face.

Eldrin Chen shielded his entire being with the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void, then attempted to activate his Chaos Indestructible Body to withstand the Chaos Qi.

The Chaos Qi was exceedingly powerful, capable of rending the flesh of a Half-Step Celestial Immortal and utterly annihilating a Supreme Unity Immortal Physique with ease.

Yet, this fearsome Chaos Qi, surging against Eldrin Chen's physical form, was blocked by the Chaos Miasma [a protective aura of primordial chaos] enveloping his body, inflicting only relatively minor injuries. Find this and other novels at audio-novel .c om.

"The Chaos Miasma of the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body possesses a strong resistance to Chaos Qi," Eldrin Chen stated slowly, a gleam of realization flashing in his eyes.

Although the mass of Chaos Qi before him was also a relatively diluted form, less refined than the Chaos Qi found within the Primordial Chaos [the primordial state of undifferentiated existence before creation] and thus significantly reduced in lethality, its destructive power remained formidable.

Even the Innate True Body of a Heavenly Immortal Paragon, if exposed to such Chaos Qi without the protection of activated Mana [cultivation energy] or an Immortal Treasure, would likely sustain notable injuries.

The Chaos Miasma surrounding Eldrin Chen could greatly mitigate the damage from the Chaos Currents, which indeed validated his earlier calculations.

"If I can cultivate the Innate Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary body refinement art that grants immunity to the corrosive energies of primordial chaos], I should be able to traverse the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state of existence before the cosmos was ordered] within this Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the myriad realms of the immortal world] freely, without fear of the threat posed by Chaos Qi [the raw, untamed energy of primordial chaos]."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly to himself before continuing his ascent towards the Firmament [the celestial vault or heavens].

With the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void [a mystical treasure capable of stabilizing spatial disturbances] shielding him from the spatial turbulence, and being unafraid of the lethal effects of the Primordial Chaos Aura [the ambient, corrosive energy field of the primordial chaos], Eldrin Chen's progress was not slow. Before long, he had traversed the Endless Void [the boundless, starless expanse between realms] and ascended to the 'Vast Azure Heaven' [one of the supreme celestial domains, said to be the former seat of a great deity] that hung suspended high above the Firmament.

"Is this place, then, the Vast Azure Heaven?"

Eldrin Chen whispered, his gaze sweeping across his surroundings. He found the vast expanse of the Vast Azure Heaven permeated with an aura of desolate antiquity.

Amidst the Limitless [boundless, infinite] radiance emanating from the Immortal Domain [a realm governed by immortal laws and energies], lay the ruins of countless grand palaces and divine pavilions, their collapsed forms silently narrating tales of a bygone era's splendor.

This was once the Daoist Assembly Ground [a sacred site for cultivation and gathering of immortals] where Qing Cang, the Great Deity secluded himself in cultivation. It was also the resting place of the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain's World-Suppressing [a classification for treasures of supreme, realm-stabilizing power] supreme treasure, the Azure Firmament Heaven's Halberd.

Yet, ever since the fall of the Soaring Grotto-Heaven [a legendary paradise realm], this celestial domain had fallen into utter decline. Even after the passage of ten Calamity Tribulation [cosmic cycles of destruction and renewal] eras, none dared to establish a new Daoist Assembly Ground here.

Eldrin Chen understood, in broad strokes, the reason why the Vast Azure Heaven remained unclaimed. For the Vast Azure Heaven was the very heart of the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain. Whoever claimed this celestial domain could potentially reunite the Thirty-Three Heavens [the supreme celestial strata or principles] Dao of the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain, merging with the Dao to become the true master of the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain.

And once one became the master of the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain, they would attain an existence akin to a Great Luo Golden Immortal [a supreme immortal realm representing the pinnacle of cultivation]. As long as they remained within the domain's area of empowerment, their theoretical power would surpass even that of Nine Calamities [a legendary high-tier immortal realm] Ancient Immortals [immortals who have survived since ancient times].
