Chapter 1630 : A Million-Year Cultivator's Birthday

Speaking of this, the Violet-Robed Daoist shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Lior nodded. He did not pay it much mind, considering it merely a coincidence.

At that very moment, hundreds upon hundreds of streaks of light flew across the Firmament above. Each one radiated an aura that made Lior Chen tremble.

From some of these figures, a mere wisp of their aura gave the illusion of being able to annihilate the Great Thousand World, even inducing in him a suffocating sensation that stole his breath. Upon the most majestic carriage, the bird pulling it resembled a Divine Spirits [primordial deities of creation] in its own right. With a single beat of its wings, it displayed the power of World Creation [the act of forging a new world from primordial chaos].

With one more wingbeat, it had already vanished into the distant reaches of the Void Heaven. "These people..."

After taking a deep breath to steady himself, Daoist Lior could not help but exclaim with immense shock.

The violet-robed Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] saw his reaction and smiled with a hint of pride. "Do not be concerned, Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a fellow cultivator]. Those are the great power Ancient Ancestor [a venerable progenitor of immense age and power] figures from the Violet Firmament Dao Palace, close friends of our own Chen the Ancient Ancestor."

"They have come to our Chen Clan today to offer their congratulations for the Ancient Ancestor's birthday."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Lior responded with deep respect. "Might I inquire, which great power is your esteemed Clan Elder [a senior leader within a cultivation clan] Ancestor?" "A 'great power' is not quite the term."

The Violet-Robed Daoist shook his head once more before continuing. "However, our Chen the Ancient Ancestor, the Abyssal Daoist [Daoist of the Profound Abyss], has cultivated for a mere million years and has already reached the realm of Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal realm, one step below true celestial immortality]."

"His venerable talent and genius, even when viewed across the entire Azure Firmament Immortal Domain, are a once-in-a-hundred-million-years, world-shaking..." "Hold on."

At that very moment, Daoist Lior interrupted him.

His expression turned exceptionally grave, filled with profound shock, as he asked, "What you just said, Fellow Daoist... your esteemed Clan Elder's Daoist title, could it be Eldrin, the Abyss?"

The violet-robed Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality and achieved immortality] was somewhat taken aback but replied, "Indeed, it is so. The Ancient Ancestor's Daoist title is Abyssal Daoist. Could it be that you have heard of his illustrious name even in the lower realm?"

Daoist Lior did not answer directly. Instead, he spoke, "May I ask if your noble clan's Clan Genealogy [the recorded lineage and generational names of a clan] follows the sequence: Eternal Pursuit of the Dao, Reflect on Virtue and Ancestors, Support and Prosper the Clan, Ascend to Immortal Eternity?"

"You... you actually know of it?"

The violet-robed Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality and achieved immortality] smiled faintly, then nodded. "It seems you are from the lower realm, most likely hailing from within the Abyssal Realm. But wait... if you are a clansman from the Abyssal Realm, why is there no senior from your sect or a senior Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality and achieved immortality] here to receive you?"

Just as Violet-Robed Daoist was feeling perplexed, Daoist Lior took a deep breath and declared, "If my deduction is correct, Eldrin, the Founding Patriarch belongs to the Nian Generation [a specific generational marker within the clan's genealogy]. His personal name is—Eldrin."

"Hmm."

Upon hearing this, Violet-Robed Daoist's countenance shifted slightly, a tremor of realization passing through him.

Now, after a million years have passed, Eldrin Chen has become an ancient legend in the lower realms.

Within the vast Purple Realm, almost no one remembers the name of Eldrin Chen anymore. Even within the Chen Immortal Clan, aside from a scant few, there are hardly any who dare to utter his name directly.

Yet, the person before him spoke of Eldrin Chen's revered title with such ease, which was utterly unexpected. Pondering this, the violet-robed Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality and attained immortality] asked, "Who exactly are you, sir?"

Daoist Lior did not answer. He sighed and said, "Take me to see Eldrin."

Lior Chen walked across the expanse of the sea.

His gaze swept over the boundless, endless ocean.

High in the Nine Heavens Above [the highest celestial realms], infinite starlight converged, brilliant as a sky full of stars. The vast sea was dotted with countless Heaven Immortal [a high rank among celestial immortals] islands, scattered like constellations upon its surface. The waves mirrored the seamless blend of sea and sky.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

Across the heavens and earth, streams of light flew past one after another. Thousands upon thousands of Immortal [beings who have transcended mortality and attained immortality] were flying toward the heart of the sea.

The cultivation bases of these Immortal [beings who have transcended mortality and attained immortality] were unfathomably profound. Even though he had now attained the Dao and achieved Ascending to Immortality [the state of becoming an immortal], he was utterly insignificant compared to these individuals.

Some figures reclined upon immortal carriages, escorted by dozens or even hundreds of Immortal [powerful beings who have transcended mortality and achieved immortality]. Yet, upon setting foot in this sea region, each and every one of them proceeded with faces etched with profound reverence.

Looking further across the vast expanse, countless cultivator Dao Soldiers [elite soldiers trained in cultivation arts] patrolled the skies and seas. They were clad in armor forged from immortal metals, and the Celestial Halberd [a divine polearm weapon] in their hands were treasures that would not appear in the mortal realm even once in a million years.

At the horizon where sky met sea, innumerable Immortal Island [floating islands inhabited by immortals] drifted upon the Void Heaven [the boundless, ethereal void between realms]. Upon them, palaces and divine pavilions stood in majestic disarray, seemingly constructed from white jade and immortal marrow, a testament to overwhelming grandeur. "A single birthday celebration, drawing congratulations from Great Powers, and the homage of ten thousand Immortals."

"This Chen Immortal Clan of the Immortal Domain [a realm of higher existence where immortals dwell] has truly become extraordinary." Lior Chen murmured softly, a ripple of emotion stirring within his eyes.

The scene before him today felt somewhat unreal. In his past life, he had sought opportunities within the Netherworld [the underworld or realm of the dead], carrying fragmented memories through a hundred cycles of Reincarnation [the cycle of death and rebirth].

He had thought that upon Ascend to Immortal Eternity [achieving immortality and ascending to the higher realms], he could revisit familiar scenes of old. He never imagined that upon first setting foot in the Immortal Domain, he would witness such a vast and boundless leviathan of the immortal path. Continue reading this story at audio-novel-dot-com.

"Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a fellow cultivator], have you also come to present congratulatory gifts?"

At that moment, an Immortal from nearby flew over.

It was a female immortal at the Early Stage Ascendant Immortal Realm [the initial stage of the Ascendant Immortal realm, a high level of cultivation]. Perhaps because it was rare to encounter another Immortal of her own realm, she approached. After greeting Lior Chen, she smiled and said, "I am Rosalind Yang, an Elder of the Hanging Spirit Immortal Sect. I, too, have only recently succeeded in Ascending to Immortality [the process of transcending mortality to become an immortal]."

"I have some connections with the Drifting Snow Palace [a Blessed Land of profound power], which is under the aegis of the Abyssal Immortal Alliance. That's how I managed, with great difficulty, to secure a path to deliver a congratulatory gift." As she spoke, the female immortal of the Early Stage Ascendant Immortal Realm [the first major stage of the Ascendant Immortal cultivation realm] revealed a slight smile.

Now, the Chen Immortal Clan holds the esteemed title of Lord of the Eldrin Hundred Seas, and Abyssal Daoist [a title for Eldrin Chen] is hailed as the foremost genius of the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea.

If I can seize this opportunity to establish ties with the Chen Immortal Clan, perhaps when my Dao Tribulation [a heavenly trial that tests a cultivator's comprehension of the Dao] arrives, I can seek their protection, increasing my chances of successfully weathering the Dao Tribulation.

Thinking this, Rosalind Yang smiled and asked, "I see your cultivation is not exceptionally high, Fellow Daoist. May I ask what path brought you here?" Lior Chen pondered briefly before replying, "I have some acquaintance with several Immortal [cultivators who have ascended to the Immortal Realm] from the Chen Clan." "You know Immortal from the Chen Clan?"

Upon hearing this, Rosalind Yang immediately adopted an expression of deep respect.

This Longevity Banquet [a grand feast celebrating a powerful cultivator's extended lifespan] hosted by the Chen Immortal Clan was conducted with great discretion. Invitations were exceedingly scarce; one couldn't simply deliver a gift and gain entry. The Drifting Snow Palace she was acquainted with had only a handful of slots. Without sufficient connections, many Immortal who sought to purchase an invitation at a high price were unable to do so. Even within the Chen Immortal Clan itself, ordinary Immortal might not receive an invitation.

Those capable of issuing invitations were, at the very least, beings who had reached the Great Perfection of Immortal Ascension [the pinnacle stage of the Ascendant Immortal realm].

That Lior Chen claimed to know several such Immortal immediately surprised her, sparking a desire to forge a connection, and she began conversing with him more earnestly.

As they conversed, they soon arrived before a majestic Immortal Island [a floating landmass suffused with immortal energy].

Gazing at the Immortal Island before them, the woman's expression grew solemn. "This is the Purple Tenuity Immortal Island, a place of immense prestige and one of the most renowned locations in the entire Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea."

"We hold the Invitation Letter [a formal document granting entry to a restricted area], which allows us to board the Purple Tenuity Immortal Island [a legendary island of immortals]. However, the island is filled with Immortal Treasure Spirit Medicines [rare spiritual herbs of immense value], and we cannot wander freely."

"Especially that Verdant Chariot Mountain [the sacred ancestral mountain of the Chen Immortal Clan]. It is the ancestral seat of the Chen Immortal Clan [a powerful clan of immortal cultivators] within the Immortal Domain [a realm inhabited by powerful immortals]. Without explicit permission from the Chen Immortal Clan, even an Earth Immortal Progenitor [a powerful immortal who has transcended the mortal realm] who steps foot there would be suppressed and slain on the spot."

"You must be cautious. Remember, safety is paramount."

As Rosalind Yang was speaking, she saw an Immortal [a being who has achieved immortality through cultivation] flying towards them from the distance, approaching their location.

Rosalind Yang's expression shifted slightly, and she immediately warned, "Be careful. This is an Earth Immortal Progenitor. Why would he seek us out?" At that moment, the newcomer glanced at Lior Chen and spoke with an expression of utmost gravity:

"Are you Daoist Lior?" "I am," Lior Chen replied calmly.

Ysander's face remained etched with profound seriousness. Although the identity was not yet fully confirmed, the status of the person before him was extraordinary, and he dared not show the slightest disrespect. He rose to his feet, respectfully cupped his hands in salute, and said, "Please, follow me." Published by audio-novel dot com. All rights reserved.
