Chapter 1009 : Qing Cang Immortal Domain

The Conveyance Immortal Light contained the power of celestial laws, a certain manifestation of the immortal path within the mortal realm.

To reach the immortal realm as a mere mortal by hijacking the Ascension Radiance is akin to sneaking into the celestial domain—an act that invites immeasurable karmic retribution.

Fortunately, Eldrin's cultivation base was astonishing. His immortal fetus was operating at full capacity, using the power of Primordial Chaos Immortal Essence to shield everyone as they ascended along the path of immortal light.

No 1 knew how much time had passed. Eldrin traversed the immeasurably distant cosmic starscape and ascended into a dimension of even more astonishing chaos.

"This is..."

In the blink of an eye, Eldrin opened his eyes to find himself adrift in a chaotic void, surrounded by a seething expanse of starry seas.

And within his line of sight, an immensely magnificent immortal domain drifted amidst the chaos, exuding an indescribable aura of vast sacredness.

This immortal realm stretched boundlessly, with no end in sight. Compared to it, the Violet Realm was like a firefly before the blazing sun—likely not even matching the tiniest fraction of its expanse.

Immortal Realm!

Eldrin murmured to himself, a faint intuition stirring in his heart as he followed the Ascension Radiance toward that celestial realm.

Just before vanishing into the immortal realm, he cast 1 last glance at the boundless chaos.

In the void, ethereal chaos energy drifted like mist, through which 1 could vaguely glimpse ancient celestial realms rising and falling 1 after another. As far as his eyes could see, the expanse stretched beyond the horizon into infinity.

Within the boundless chaos, 3 1000 immortal realms rise and fall.

"Legend has it that the Immortal Realm is composed of 3 1000 immortal domains. So this is how it truly is."

The thought had just flashed through his mind when the Immortal Ascension Radiance swept them all up, pulling them into the celestial realm.

In an instant, heaven and earth spun wildly. Eldrin (Person Name) found themselves submerged in a deep, dark pool. An imperceptible will of the cosmos swept over them, then withdrew as swiftly as it had come.

An instant later, Eldrin snapped back to his senses. Shielding everyone with his immortal essence, he leaped forward abruptly and landed upon a celestial platform forged of white jade.

Just then, a gentle voice drifted over: "Leaping Dragon Pond, Ascension Platform—congratulations to fellow cultivators on achieving immortality."

"Hmm?"

The group looked up to see a man in cyan robes standing there, gazing at them with a faint smile.

"An immortal, and their cultivation level is likely at least at the late stage of Ascendant Immortal."

In the blink of an eye, Eldrin had gauged his opponent's strength, and his heart settled with a faint sense of relief.

He rose to his feet, offering a slight cupped-hand salute as he spoke calmly, "My Daoist title is Guixu (Cultivation Title), and these are my dao companions. Well met, Fellow Daoist."

The azure-robed immortal nodded, his gaze sweeping over the group as a trace of condescension faded from his demeanor.

He offered a particularly courteous salute, then said with a smile, "I am Ye Qingshu, a seventh-rank immortal official of the Qingcang Celestial Court, and also the reception envoy tasked with guarding this Ascension Platform."

Qingcang Celestial Court.

Upon hearing this, the group couldn't help but pause in slight bewilderment.

Eldrin had only just ascended, his knowledge of the immortal realm was extremely limited, and he naturally knew nothing of this Qingcang Celestial Court.

Seeing that, Ye Qingshu continued with a light laugh, "The Qingcang Celestial Court is but a branch of the Celestial Court within the Qingcang Celestial Domain."

Within the endless chaos, the distances between the various immortal domains were immeasurably vast. Even Immortals at the Ascendant Realm could spend tens of thousands of years without necessarily reaching another immortal domain.

Thus, while the Celestial Court of Qingcang Immortal Domain was considered a branch of the Celestial Court, it possessed significant autonomy. Most of its Divine Lords and celestial officials were native immortals of Qingcang Immortal Domain.

At this, Ye Qingshu smiled and said, "I am the reception envoy of the Qingcang Celestial Court, and also the Seventh Elder of the Setting Sun Immortal Sect."

"So that's how it is."

Hearing this, Eldrin couldn't help but exchange a glance with Lyra.

Could this very Qiong Cang Immortal Realm be the 1 that Daoist Master Huan Xu once spoke of?

Yet upon careful reflection, it was to be expected. After all, the Qingcang Immortal Realm was the closest to the Purple Realm, so their ascension to this celestial domain was hardly surprising.

At this thought, Eldrin suppressed the notions stirring in his heart.

The immediate priority was to ascertain his own standing and comprehend the power dynamics and structure of this celestial realm.

He promptly rose to his feet, cupped his hands with a cordial smile, and remarked, "With your level of cultivation, you only hold the position of Seventh Elder. How profoundly formidable must the Setting Sun Immortal Sect be?"

Ye Qingshu's cultivation had reached the late-stage Ascendant Immortal realm, making him a supreme immortal of the Canopy Heaven Realm. That such formidable power only earned him the position of Seventh Elder within the Setting Sun Sect spoke volumes about the sect's undoubtedly formidable strength.

Noticing his expression, Ye Qingshu gave a slight nod and said, “Since you’ll understand with a little inquiry after leaving, Fellow Daoist, I won’t conceal it further.”

"This place is called the Sunset Sea, and our Sunset lineage reigns as the undisputed ruler of these waters."

With Ye Qingshu’s arrival, Eldrin gradually came to understand the structure of the Qingcang Immortal Realm.

This sea region, known as the Fading Sun Sea, lies in the southwestern corner of the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea. It is a maritime domain composed of tens of thousands of spirit islands and immortal isles.

Within this expanse of sea, there were 30-4 immortal sects and clans, each guarded by an immortal who had ascended to the Immortal Realm.

Mortal sects were as numerous as stars scattered across the sky, virtually countless.

The Crimson Sun Immortal Sect occupied the Crimson Sun Blessed Land, standing as the most formidable power in these seas.

This branch of the sect boasted over 70 Immortal Elders, with the Patriarch's cultivation having reached the very realm of Earth Immortal. As such, they received tributes from more than 30 major immortal cultivation families and sects.

After hearing his words, Eldrin couldn't help but ask curiously, "May I ask, fellow practitioner, what particular significance does this blessed land hold?"

Blessed Land?

Ye Qingshu’s eyes flickered slightly as he smiled and said, “Though all immortal realms are imbued with immortal spirit energy, the ranks of immortal sanctuaries still vary between high and low.”

"As far as I know, there exist distinctions such as immortal veins (Cultivation Resource), blessed lands (Cultivation Resource), and grotto-heavens (Cultivation Resource)."

Within that immortal vein, spiritual energy of the immortals could be nurtured, offering considerable aid to celestial cultivation. Yet for a Terran Immortal Ancestor, it was far too diluted—utterly insufficient for cultivation purposes.

A blessed land could truly be called a marvel of creation, for it not only possessed profound immortal spiritual energy but also contained the power of exceedingly profound laws, capable of nurturing all manner of precious and extraordinary immortal treasures.

Ye Qingshu began to elaborate, a note of pride unconsciously coloring his words, "The Setting Sun Blessed Land was formed when an innate deity from the primordial era achieved Dao sublimation. It retains a wisp of that innate deity's primordial Dao essence and natural laws."

"If 1 cultivates within it, not only can they comprehend profound immortal Dao divine abilities, but they may also gain a sliver of certainty in breaking through to the Earth Immortal realm."

Eldrin listened quietly, a hint of yearning flickering across his expression.

His curiosity piqued, he couldn't resist asking, "I wonder what profound mysteries lie beyond blessed lands in the celestial grottos?"

Paradise Grotto?

Ye Qingshu’s eyes flickered faintly upon hearing this, but after a moment, he couldn’t help but shake his head.

A look of yearning and longing crossed his face as he spoke, "Grotto-heavens are exceedingly rare. Even within the Vast Azure Immortal Realm, they can be counted on 1's fingers."

Within the entire Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, there existed only 1 cave heaven. Legend spoke of this cave heaven as the 'Western Qi Cave Heaven,' which for millions of years had been governed by the Rong Clan, the undisputed overlords of the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea.

Eldrin listened quietly, gradually grasping the hierarchical classification of the various immortal veins.

Immortals govern immortal veins, Earth Immortals may possess blessed lands, and only Celestial Immortals are qualified to claim grotto-heavens.

Even Earth Immortals and true Immortals would covet those blessed lands and celestial grottos. Without sufficient strength, 1 simply wasn't qualified to lay a finger on them.
