Chapter 1008 : Ascension [Mortal Realm Complete]

After bidding farewell to the master of the Dao Palace, Eldrin journeyed to the Central Ancestral Domain.

As the foremost divine tree of the Violet Realm, the Violet God Tree in its prime would yield 3 Violet God Fruits every 3 1000 years.

It could be said that the Violet God Tree was undoubtedly responsible for nearly half of the fact that the Violet Realm had successively produced close to 2 100 immortals.

Alas, 60 1000 years ago, a Dao Lord of the Violet Realm descended into demonic ascension. Before being exiled from the Violet Realm, he broke off a branch from the Divine Tree and forged it into the demonic treasure, Violet Demon Staff.

Over 20,000 years ago, to withstand the Great Cataclysm, 18 Demigod Ancestors (Cultivation Realm) of the Violet Realm joined forces and broke off another branch of the Violet God Tree. Through the combined power of the entire Violet Realm, they forged an immortal treasure, ultimately enabling them to survive the calamity.

Now, only 1 section of the Ascension Vine remained intact, and the number of Purple God Fruits it produced had dwindled from 3 to just 1.

Such a Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) possessed extraordinary divinity, yet even an Ascension Realm immortal would be powerless to remedy damage this severe.

Fortunately, Eldrin possessed the Primordial Purple Qi in his grasp. This energy held the profound mystery of creating all things, capable of enhancing the foundation of spiritual roots, so naturally, restoring the damaged Purple God Fruit was no challenge at all.

As Eldrin expended half a strand of Acquired Primordial Purple Qi, the Violet God Tree sprouted 2 new branches, with a surge of vibrant vitality gestating within.

Nurtured in this manner, the Violet God Tree would likely recover within 3 1000 years.

Seeing this, Eldrin nodded slightly, "By restoring this tree, my karmic ties with the Violet Realm shall be nearly settled."

Over the years, Eldrin had expended an immense amount of resources throughout his cultivation journey, with nearly everything he used being born from the essence of the Violet Realm.

It could be said that Eldrin (Person Name) owed his current achievements entirely to the grace of the Violet Realm, a karmic debt he could never fully repay.

However, the karmic bonds of the mortal realm do have their limits. By slaying the demonic god to quell the cataclysm, restoring the ley lines of the Xunwind Divine Peaks, and clearing the grand spiritual circulation for the Violet Realm, Eldrin had amassed enough merit to repay his karmic debt.

Now, embarking on the restoration of the Violet God Tree could be said to more than suffice in repaying all karmic debts.

After settling this karma, Eldrin did not linger further. With a single step, the world spun and shifted, returning him to the Eastern Wastelands.

He first journeyed to The Vast Sea (Location), where he uprooted the 8 Trigrams Treasure Tree and sealed it within the Creation Azure Lotus Platform. Afterwards, he traveled to Spirit Lake Isle and collected the Spiritual Peach Tree.

The Chen Clan possessed quite a few Pure Yang Spirit Roots, yet for Eldrin, only 4 of them proved truly useful.

The 4 spirit roots were the Spirit Peach Tree, the 8 Trigrams Treasure Tree, the Jade Lotus of Creation, and the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

Among these few stalks of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), the Spirit Peach Tree could accelerate cultivation. Whether for immortals or mortals, cultivation base served as the foundation of all things, making it naturally paramount.

The 8 Trigrams Treasure Tree contained 8 supreme powers, and the fruits it bore embodied 8 primordial essences. If 1 could advance to the Immortal Realm and refine them into a set of immortal formation arrays, their power would likely be sufficient to slay deities and vanquish immortals.

After the Jade Lotus of Creation ascended to the immortal rank, it left behind only a single Supreme Immortal Seed, which must be replanted to take root and sprout.

Once the Enlightenment Tea Tree advances, it can assist cultivators in comprehending the laws of nature—an indispensable boon for Eldrin (Person Name) as well.

Now that Eldrin had taken in the 8 Trigrams Treasure Tree and the Spirit Peach Tree, and brought along the seed of the Serendipitous Green Jade Lotus, he set off toward the 100-1000-li Great Wilderness.

However, just as he arrived before the Enlightenment Tea Tree, Eldrin changed his mind.

After a long moment of contemplation, he turned to Lila beside him and said, "Once the Enlightenment Tea Tree advances in rank, it can assist cultivators in comprehending the power of laws and increase their chances of gaining insight into the Dao."

"This tree complements the Violet God Tree, perhaps capable of making Violet Realm's future even more glorious."

At this point, Eldrin paused briefly before saying, "I have decided to elevate the Enlightenment Tea Tree into an Acquired Spiritual Root and leave it in the Violet Realm as our clan's foundational heritage."

At this point, he spat out a wisp of Postnatal Primordial Purple Qi, allowing it to merge into the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

Seeing this, Lila (Person Name) was momentarily taken aback before nodding after a pause. "With an additional Immortal Root, the likelihood of Zi Xiu Shi (Cultivator) achieving ascension would be significantly enhanced."

"Perhaps in another million years, the number of immortals ascending from the Violet Realm may very well surpass the total accumulated over the past several million years combined."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but add, "You still possess 1 wisp of Primordial Purple Qi. Have you considered using it to help our family cultivate another Immortal Root?"

"No need."

Eldrin shook his head, his gaze piercing through the 9 Heavens Above as if seeing through the endless firmament, reaching the very origin of heaven and earth.

He spoke with serene composure, "All things in this world have their limits—even the boundless cosmos is no exception."

"With the primordial power of the Violet Realm, planting 2 immortal roots already reaches the absolute limit. Should 1 attempt more, the world's foundational energy would become insufficient to sustain itself, ultimately leading to the gradual depletion of heaven and earth's vital essence."

Beside them, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) nodded thoughtfully upon seeing this and remarked with intrigue, "Several million years ago, the Violet Daoist emerged from this realm and left behind a single Violet Godfruit Tree."

After becoming an Immortal Lord, he gained even greater favor from overwhelming destiny, thus ushering in an era where countless immortals emerged across the Violet Realm for over a million years.

"Now that my husband is about to ascend, he has also left a celestial root in this world. Should he 1 day prove his path to become a Great Luo Immortal Lord, this shall surely become an illustrious tale for the ages."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) could not help but smile faintly.

Given his current status and position, he dared not compare himself to Eldrin (Person Name), yet this did not prevent him from viewing Eldrin as a milestone to surpass in the future.

At this thought, Eldrin sighed, "Having now witnessed all that the Violet Realm holds and laid down some foundations and contingencies, there is little left for me to linger for in the mortal world."

"You shall ascend with me, and together we shall transcend mortality to become immortals."

Resolved to sever all mortal attachments, Eldrin’s wisp of an incarnation did not linger. With Lila, Seraphina Qu, and Yan Purple Princess in tow, he departed beyond the boundaries of the Violet Realm.

Within the Violet Realm, countless individuals had long since learned of Eldrin's imminent ascension.

Countless cultivators advanced along the Path to Immortality, among whom only a rare few reached its final trial. Their gazes filled with boundless reverence and yearning, they fixed their eyes upon the several figures standing at the path's end.

Before the end of the immortal path, Eldrin stood in snow-white robes, accompanied by Seiki and Lyra.

Seraphina Qu (Person Name)、Lila (Person Name)、还有宴紫姬紧随其后，被Eldrin (Person Name)以仙元护住周身，正待飞升成仙之机。

Transcending Mortality and Ascending to Immortality is an exceedingly perilous endeavor, as mortal objects can scarcely withstand the overwhelming pressure of the Ascension Guidance Immortal Light.

Thus Eldrin did not bring any mundane objects from the mortal realm. Apart from several innate spiritual treasures, he only intended to bring his 3 dao companions: Seraphina Qu, Lila, and Yan Zijī.

He left the remaining items, which were below the Immortal rank, to his clan as foundational assets.

He entrusted the Spirit Peach Tree and the 8 Trigrams Treasure Tree to Qing Ji and Lyra (Person Name) respectively. With the profound immortal essence of the 2 women safeguarding them, it was naturally a foolproof arrangement.

After confirming the items he carried, Eldrin cast a glance toward the assembled spectators.

He seemed to be searching for someone, yet ultimately failed to find that person, and could only let out a soft sigh in the end.

"Not even willing to grant me 1 final meeting?"

Eldrin murmured under his breath, a faint sigh echoing in his heart.

Before parting, he returned to the Violet Abyss to visit old acquaintances, yet failed to meet Silas Chen. Even now, as he ascended to immortality, he never had a final glimpse of her.

That Silas Chen’s cultivation was merely at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, and without reaching the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage, even if he personally oversaw the ascension, it would be impossible to withstand the pressure of the Ascension Radiance.

Thus, it was utterly impossible for her to follow him, destined to remain in the mortal world.

Your Excellency.

At that very moment, a fiery-red figure before Eldrin spoke up.

The 1 who spoke was none other than the Li Fire Vermilion Bird, his entire form enveloped in fiery plumage as infinite laws of Li Fire surged and swirled around him.

"Hmm?"

"Forget it, my ties to the mortal realm are severed. What difference does it make whether we meet again or not?"

Startled awake by the Li Fire Vermilion Bird, Eldrin snapped back to attention. After casting a glance at the Li Fire protagonist, he continued his instructions, "After my departure, you shall become the guardian divine bird of the Chen Immortal Clan."

"When the Old Patriarch exhausts his lifespan and passes into meditation, that shall be your ascension day."

Following Eldrin's instructions, the Crimson Sparrow of Departing Fire assumed a reverent expression and nodded with profound respect, saying, "As you command."

Seeing the Li Fire Vermilion Bird agree, Eldrin (Person Name) let out a sigh, ultimately stirring the elusive opportunity to attain immortality.

In the void, countless feathers of light cascaded down as divine dragons and immortal phoenixes circled the entourage. A 7-colored celestial radiance descended, enveloping them in its ethereal embrace.

"Uncle..."

Bathed in immortal radiance, Eldrin shielded the group with his immortal essence when several shouts echoed through the air.

He turned his head to see upon the Path to Immortality, Chen Silas (Person Name) desperately flying across the void toward him, tears scattering from his eyes like pearls.

Chen Silas (Person Name) had remained silent throughout her lifetime, suppressing her true self all along. With her innate talent, she had always believed that merely being able to gaze upon his retreating figure for thousands of years in this life would be her greatest fortune—more than enough to content her heart.

But she had forgotten that human hearts are ever greedy. At this moment of eternal parting, she ultimately could not restrain herself and desperately chased after him.

But no matter how fast she was, how could she possibly outrun the Guiding Immortal Light? She could only watch helplessly as the radiant light carried the figures farther and farther away.

That sense of vast distance nearly suffocated her, leaving her gasping for air.

"Alas!"

Eldrin turned his gaze, watching the tear-streaked face of Chen Silas, and fell into a moment of profound silence.

In that moment, a glimmer of enlightenment dawned within his heart.

Leaving this mortal dust behind, the journey stretches far, No day of return can be foreseen.

In this lifetime, they were likely fated never to meet again.

"In that case, we shall meet again in the next life..."

The Eldrin Immortal had cultivated for over 6,000 years, ascending to immortality to slay demons and quell cataclysms, before transcending this realm with his dao companion.

The Purple Annals Chapter 1 The mountain mist coiled like ancient serpents, weaving through the towering pines that pierced the heavens. Upon a weathered meditation platform, a youth in indigo robes sat cross-legged, his breathing synchronized with the whispering winds. Before him floated a crimson pill that pulsed with inner fire—the Flaming Spirit Pill (Elixir). "3 100 years," the youth murmured, his voice barely disturbing the mountain's silence. "3 100 years of seclusion, and finally I've reached the Great Perfection Stage of Golden Core Formation." His spiritual sense swept across the peaks, counting the spirit stones embedded in the formation: 12,500 high-grade spirit stones, precisely arranged in the 9 Revolutions Gathering Spirit Formation (Cultivation Formation). Beyond the barrier, over a 100 disciples practiced the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure), their movements flowing like liquid flame. Suddenly, the sky darkened. Rolling clouds gathered, pregnant with violet lightning. The youth's eyes snapped open, twin pools of molten gold. "Heavenly Tribulation," he whispered. Countless cultivation memories surfaced—the dozens of near-death experiences, the 20-some failed breakthroughs, the countless nights meditating beneath the stars. A thunderous voice echoed through the valley: "Fellow Daoist Chu, your 9 heavenly tribulations approach! Are you prepared?" Chu Xingyun rose, his robes fluttering without wind. "1 100 years I've waited for this day." His fingers traced ancient seals in the air. "Let the heavens test this mortal's resolve." The first bolt descended—a dragon of violet lightning that shook the very foundations of the mountain. But Chu Xingyun stood unwavering, the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) materializing in his grasp, its edge singing with primordial power. Chapter 2 In the Grand Moon Sect's main hall, Elder Mingzhen (Person Name) watched the gathering storm through a scrying mirror. Nearly a 1000 disciples knelt behind him, their faces pale beneath the flickering formation lights. "30-2 1000 contribution points," the elder calculated aloud, "and nearly a 1000 rare materials sacrificed to prepare for this day." His gnarled fingers tightened around the Jade Observation Mirror (Magic Treasure). "The fate of our sect rests on his success." Below the peaks, a dozen or so outer sect disciples huddled near protective formations. "Do you think Senior Chu can withstand 9 heavenly tribulations?" a young girl asked, her fingers nervously tracing symbols in the dust. An older disciple shook his head. "20-some elders attempted this breakthrough in the past millennium. Only 2 succeeded." His voice dropped to a whisper. "But Senior Chu... he's different." As if in answer, a brilliant pillar of purple light erupted from the mountain peak. Chu Xingyun's voice rang clear above the roaring thunder: "Heaven may test the mortal, but the mortal shall transcend heaven!" The very air crystallized with power as he met the second tribulation lightning head-on, his sword drawing crimson arcs across the darkening sky.
