Chapter 1063 : 3 Disciples Descend the Mountain

"I understand, Father."

Chen Xianzhang (Person Name) rose to his feet, having ultimately made the pledge.

Eldrin said nothing more, summoning Chen Xianzhu and Chen Xiandao.

Looking at the 3 children before him, Eldrin spoke: "I have made arrangements with the 6 Stars Immortal. 3 months from now shall be Sanlang's wedding day."

"Our household is short-handed. Xianzhu and Erlang, as the elder brothers, you must make proper arrangements for Sanlang during this time."

Chen Xianzhu and Chen Xiandao nodded, their expressions grave as they bowed deeply. "We understand, Father."

"Hmm, you may leave."

Eldrin gave a slight nod, signaling the 3 to depart.

After the 3 had departed, Lyra and Seraphina Qu finally emerged.

Seraphina Qu gazed at Chen Xianzhang's retreating figure and said with a hint of helplessness, "Ah, that child has caused you trouble again."

"This young man is full of youthful vigor. Though somewhat of a flirt, his nature is not unkind."

Eldrin shook his head and spoke calmly.

他将目光收了回来，又看皱了皱眉头说道：“不过六辰仙人的教训，我们也该汲取一下。”

"Oh?"

Lyra's gaze flickered slightly, a trace of confusion involuntarily appearing in her expression.

Eldrin settled back into his seat within the guest pavilion, pouring himself a cup of tea with practiced ease. "The 6 Stars Immortal had 6 sons and 1 daughter. Each of those 6 boys possessed the makings of an immortal, yet in the end, not a single 1 achieved immortality."

"1 can see that without weathering storms, even the son of a banished immortal would find it difficult to achieve great success."

Upon hearing this, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) slightly furrowed her brow.

It turned out that the Immortal of 6 Stars had 6 sons, each born of an immortal lineage. By all reasoning, they should have possessed astonishing natural talent, yet in the end, not a single 1 achieved immortality.

You must understand that every child of such immortals possesses the most supreme celestial aptitude, with talents no less than those of peerless Dao Lords like Lin Tianqi or the master of the Dao Palace. They are born treading the path to immortality.

As children of immortals, they relied on their bloodline power to advance smoothly, encountering no obstacles whatsoever until at least the ninth level of the Nascent Soul.

However, once 1 reached the ninth level of the Nascent Soul, relying solely on bloodline inheritance was far from sufficient.

How arduous is the path for a cultivator seeking immortality! Each of the 3 ascension methods presents insurmountable challenges.

To cultivate an immortal body requires immense perseverance—to endure the physical agony and transcend 1’s own limits.

To attain immortality through the Laws, 1 must possess profound comprehension of the celestial and earthly principles. Without sufficient worldly experience, innate brilliance, and spiritual insight, grasping the Laws would be as arduous as scaling the heavens.

To condense 1's own cultivation base into an Immortal Ascension Dao Fruit requires immense perseverance, profound wisdom, and extraordinary courage—qualities far beyond the reach of ordinary individuals.

On this foundation, external aids may play a certain role, but they merely add flowers to brocade.

Without sufficient perseverance, enlightenment, and steadfast determination—the very foundations of ascension—using it would be nothing but a futile waste.

The bloodline of an immortal allows 1 to cultivate with unparalleled ease, never facing setbacks or hardships. Yet, such individuals often lack the depth of experience and resilience compared to those who rise from the lowest ranks, and they seldom possess the perseverance and determination to endure true trials.

Under normal circumstances, this might not matter, but at the critical juncture of ascension, it often becomes their fatal flaw. This is why the success rate for Celestial Descendants has never been particularly high.

After all, no matter how exceptional 1's innate talent may be, without a resolute heart devoted to the Dao, it would be difficult to achieve anything significant in the future.

In contrast, mortals like Lin Tianqi and the Palace Lord had forged their path to immortality with their own blades, cutting through thorns and thistles to carve out a celestial ascent through sheer force of will.

Such a Demigod Ancestor (Cultivation Realm) possessed flawless temperament and experience, with insights into cultivation far surpassing those of Celestial Descendants. Instead, their chances of attaining immortality were significantly greater.

At this thought, Yan Zijī (Person Name) grew somewhat concerned and couldn’t help but turn to Eldrin (Person Name) with an inquiring gaze.

"My lord, what do you mean?"

"Let them descend the mountain."

Eldrin (Person Name) let out a soft sigh before speaking, "For the past 1 100 years, I have been guiding these 3 children every single day."

"The principles of cultivation, the wickedness of the human heart, and the way of being human—all have been imparted to them."

"Yet knowledge gained from paper is shallow at best; to grasp its essence, 1 must practice it firsthand."

Eldrin spoke with a measured cadence, sighing softly as he said, "Now that Xianzhu and Xiandao are both over 1 100 years old—an age when you and I had already shouldered the responsibilities of our entire clan—it is time for them to walk the mortal world."

"Let them witness the evils of this world and behold the perils of cultivation, so they may truly comprehend their own path of spiritual practice."

Upon hearing this, Lila (Person Name) couldn't help but feel concerned. She couldn't resist saying, "Their cultivation levels are too low. Isn't it far too dangerous to let them descend the mountain?"

"It is of no consequence." Eldrin shook his head, clasping his hands behind his back. "I shall conceal sword qi within their bodies, which may preserve their lives at the brink of death."

"Moreover, their cultivation is still low at present. Let them travel within Qingyuan Island and only release them once they break through to the Nascent Soul realm."

Hearing this, the girls finally let out a slight sigh of relief.

The Azure Ridge Isle stretched endlessly, as vast as the Eastern Wastelands (Location).

Upon this vast immortal island, countless demon tribes still remained. Over the past 1000 years, numerous minor immortal clans had migrated here as well, among whom were many powerful experts at the Nascent Soul realm.

Even if all 3 of them were to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, it would suffice as their cultivation stage.

Moreover, on the immortal island, with their care, no major mishaps would occur.

At this thought, Lyra nodded and said, "Then it's settled. After Xianzhang's wedding, let them descend the mountain and establish their own cavern abodes."

The marriage arrangements for Chen Xianzhang were personally handled by Eldrin (Person Name), who went so far as to prepare generous gifts and invite Qian Xuande and the Transcendent Void Immortal (Person Name) to serve as matchmakers for the marriage proposal.

Immortal Lord 6 Stars was quite pleased in his heart. After accepting the betrothal gifts, he presented a generous dowry in return.

The old immortal had previously discovered numerous treasures within the ruins. Among the dowry were no less than 3 immortal herbs, including a single low-grade immortal treasure, while the remaining spiritual objects were truly beyond counting.

After several months of such busy preparations, the wedding arrangements for the 2 were finally settled.

Another year passed. On this day, Eldrin summoned the 3 children to his cave abode.

"Father, may we inquire as to the reason you have summoned us?"

Within the cave abode, Eldrin wore a grave expression, prompting Chen Xianzhu to inquire,

Eldrin remained silent, his gaze carefully studying the 3 children before him. Only after a long while did he finally speak:

"You 3 have cultivated for many years, and as your father, I have imparted all the methods of cultivation to you. From now on, your path of cultivation will depend more on your own efforts."

"You have now come of age. I have summoned you here today to send you down the mountain!"

Father!

Chen Xianchang’s expression shifted slightly. Among the 3, he was the youngest and had always been sheltered under Eldrin’s care. Now, to be abruptly driven down the mountain left him utterly unprepared.

He wanted to say more, but seeing the utter calm on Eldrin’s face, he swallowed his words in the end.
