Chapter 1175 : Chaos Weapon Forging Art, Ghost Immortal in the Family

Eldrin led the group back to Verdant Chariot Mountain, his mind growing increasingly unsettled with each passing thought.

He found Lyra and recounted the events of his journey, then said with a sigh, "It was my oversight. I should have arranged for them to ascend 1 by 1, ascending in batches from different Celestial Ascension Platforms."

"There is no need to blame yourself—this was anticipated from the start." Lyra (Person Name) comforted Eldrin (Person Name), then continued, "As our strength grows, it is only a matter of time before we step onto the stage of the Qingcang Immortal Realm (Immortal Domain)."

"The immortals ascending from the Violet Realm will inevitably draw their attention sooner or later." Upon hearing this, Eldrin let out a faint, inward sigh.

For now, they had only slain Crimson Dragon Child, yet the name of the Abyssal Return Immortal had already spread across several seas surrounding the Crimson Dragon Sea. If they were to fully dominate the Crimson Dragon Sea, those with ill intentions would inevitably investigate them.

The sudden influx of immortals at Verdant Chariot Mountain (Location) might remain concealed for a brief period, but such secrecy could hardly endure. Unless they could construct their own Ascension Platform, no amount of vigilance would prevent discerning observers from uncovering the true number of cultivators residing within the mountain.

At this thought, Eldrin sighed and said, "Ascending through another's Celestial Ascension Platform ultimately has its limitations."

"It seems we too must make some plans, so as to soon erect an Ascension Platform."

"Constructing an Ascension Platform is no simple task." A bitter smile involuntarily surfaced on Lyra's (Person Name) face upon hearing this. For immortals to ascend to precise locations within the celestial realm, they required the Ascension Platform as a directional marker while also needing to harness the power of the Soaring Dragon Abyss.

However, both the Ascension Platform and the Dragon-Leaping Pool were of immense value, far beyond what any ordinary immortal sect could afford.

The methods for forging the Ascension Platform and the Dragon-Leaping Pool are both vital legacies of the Celestial Court, accessible only to figures of Earth Immortal or Divine Lord rank.

The resources it consumed were also immense, something only those blessed immortal paradises could afford. Given the current foundation of the Chen Immortal Clan, they were still far from being able to refine an Ascension Platform.

At this thought, Eldrin (Person Name) sighed and said, "When all is said and done, strength is what truly matters."

"If I possessed strength at the Earth Immortal level, even with some secrets concealed, I wouldn't need to tremble with such reverence and fear, worrying about drawing others' attention."

"Exactly so." Lyra (Person Name) nodded before speaking. "There's no need for you to dwell on it. Just focus wholeheartedly on your cultivation."

"When I emerge from seclusion with my immortal body perfected, perhaps the days ahead will be easier to bear."

"Mm." Eldrin nodded, a faint smile unconsciously gracing his lips. Lyra's Lunar Immortal Body was exceptionally powerful—once she refined the Flesh-Blood Treasure Pill and cultivated it to perfection, her strength would increase dramatically.

Now her strength is comparable to the late-stage Ascension Realm, and by then she might even rival the Ninth Heaven of Ascension, able to provide Eldrin (Person Name) with significant assistance.

"...had retrieved the 8 old acquaintances from the Violet Realm. Eldrin did not pursue any further actions. Over the past several 1000 years, he had spent most of his time immersed in various affairs. Now that all trivial matters had been settled, he intended to enter a period of secluded cultivation to properly consolidate his gains."

The path of cultivation emphasized the balance between exertion and relaxation. In his leisure, he tended to the Great Yin Gold Bamboo and occasionally contemplated his techniques, finding his cultivation progressing with exceptional smoothness.

Thus, in the blink of an eye, a full 3 1000 years had passed. On this day, within the Starlight Glazed Realm, hundreds of millions of strands of Primordial Chaos Immortal Light converged, ultimately coalescing into 1 resplendent Primordial Chaos Immortal Sword, 1 domineering Primordial Chaos Tyrant Spear, and 1 sovereign Primordial Chaos Heavenly Blade.

“The Art of Stellar Weapon Forging—I’ve mastered the first 3 layers!” Gazing at the Primordial Chaos Immortal Sword before him, Eldrin let out a soft exhale, a smile gracing his lips.

Back on the ancient star of Cang Ling, he had obtained several supreme-grade immortal treasures, and among them, the Art of Celestial Soldier Forging ranked within the top 3 in value.

This Art of Stellar Weaponization could condense the power of hundreds of millions of starlight rays, forging peerless stellar divine arms. Its might rivaled a single strike from a transcendent immortal treasure, truly deserving to be called unrivaled in slaughter.

Back then, the dying Eldrin Star Deity had slain the Bloodspring Elder Demon 3 times in succession using the Art of Stellar Weapon Manifestation—first conjuring a star-forged spear, then a celestial blade, and finally an immortal sword. This alone demonstrated the sheer terror of this divine ability.

After 3 1000 years of comprehending the Stellar Weaponry Art, Eldrin had finally mastered its first 3 forms. When channeled with Eldrin’s current cultivation base, the divine arms manifested through this art could already rival high-grade immortal treasures, making their power truly extraordinary.

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but murmur to himself, "Derived from the Art of Stellar Soldiers and driven by the Primordial Chaos power, it shall be named the Primordial Chaos Soldier Evolution Art." His version of the technique had been adapted according to his own spiritual energy.

He was not formed from the power of the stars, but condensed from Eldrin's (Person Name) Primordial Chaos magic power, and its might was considerably greater than that of the Starforged Soldier Art of the same rank.

Having mastered the first 3 layers of the Primordial Chaos Soldier-Forging Art, Eldrin dispersed the 3 Chaos Divine Soldiers. He did not proceed to comprehend the fourth layer of the Stellar Soldier-Forging Art, for although its power was far greater, it required at least an understanding of the Laws of Rule to achieve.

Without reaching at least the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm or the Early Earth Immortal stage, it would be utterly impossible to master this technique.

After dismissing the Mixed Origin Divine Armament, Eldrin emerged from the seclusion chamber only to find Lyra had been waiting for quite some time.

The moment Eldrin laid eyes on Lyra, his vision brightened imperceptibly. 3 1000 years had passed, yet not only had Lyra perfected her Prime Yin Immortal Body, but she had also broken through to the fifth level of Ascension Realm.

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but ask, "When did my lady emerge from seclusion?"

"3 months ago." Lyra (Person Name) spoke with a smile, then handed over a letter from her sleeve. "Word came from the Netherrealm that Patriarch Qing has achieved Ghost Immortal cultivation."

"Oh?" A flicker of delight crossed Eldrin's face. A few years prior, Patriarch Qing had attained consummate mastery in his cultivation and begun preparing to undergo his heavenly tribulation to break through to the Ghost Immortal realm.

He was at the most critical moment of comprehending the Art of Stellar Arms Derivation, so he had sent Kael (Person Name) to guard him. Little did he expect news would arrive so soon.

After glancing at the letter for a moment, Eldrin (Person Name) furrowed his brow slightly and said, "Ancestor Qing has broken through to become a Ghost Immortal. He intends to establish a Netherworld."

"This was well within expectations." Lyra nodded. For a ghost immortal to cultivate, they required sufficient faith power.

As long as the Celestial Realm's Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) endures, they could continuously offer incense tributes to Ancestor Qing through sacred rites.

Yet, no Ghost Immortal would ever refuse more Faith Power. If 1 could establish an underworld, they could draw Faith Power from the mortal realm’s sacrificial offerings.

Generally speaking, souls without influential backing must pay sufficient incense offerings to be granted reincarnation. If the incense offerings are insufficient, then apologies—you’ll have to wait in line slowly. Perhaps in tens of thousands of years, you might still have a chance to be reborn as a chicken, duck, ox, or horse.

With sufficient offerings of incense money, even rebirth into a top-tier immortal clan would be no great feat. In the past, the reason Caleb (Person Name) could reincarnate into a Nascent Soul immortal clan was also tied to the Chen family's generous sacrificial offerings.

At this thought, Eldrin spoke up, "Our Chen Immortal Clan now has quite a sizable number of members, with those who have passed on in meditation being countless. The incense and offerings used for ancestral rites each year also amount to no small sum."

"Rather than offering this faith to the other Nether Lords in the underworld, it would be better to give it to Ancestor Qing."
