Chapter 1460 : 3 Realms of Earth Immortals

Daoist Zixuan spoke unhurriedly, and finally began his tale.

"In this way, the chances of a demonic cultivator breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm increase by 20 to 30 percent for no reason, far surpassing those of the righteous path."

"Offer up the Earth Immortal Realm as sacrifice?"

Eldrin (Person Name) furrowed his brow slightly. If sacrificing a Terrestrial Immortal realm could increase 1's chances of breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm, then countless beings trapped at the Half-Step Celestial Immortal level would likely resort to such methods.

Seeing this, Daoist Zixuan nodded slightly and said, "The demonic path's method of sacrificing worlds is, in essence, trading the world's origin to seek a chance for self-advancement. Yet, it is not only the demonic path that would resort to such means."

"Since time immemorial, many Ancestors who had reached the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm would ultimately take this final step."

"Oh?" Eldrin frowned slightly and couldn't help but inquire, "What became of them in the end?"

Daoist Zixuan let out a cold sneer before speaking, "Some individuals, plagued by Karmic Sin, will inevitably fall into the demonic path and become universally despised even if they break through to the Celestial Immortal realm."

Others dwell high within the cavern-dwellings, revered as the mighty ancestral elders of the grotto-heavens.

Hearing this, Eldrin finally understood.

Those without a proper foundation would become demonic cultivators even if they managed to break through.

As for those with powerful backers, even if they were entangled in karmic calamity, they only needed to guard the Chaotic Abyss for 10 million years to cloak the power of karmic blight with the radiance of merit.

At that moment, even if the world were to perish, those who had reached the Celestial Immortal realm would be powerful enough to suppress an entire grotto-heaven as venerable patriarchs.

Of course, such Celestial Immortals could only cultivate through ancient methods. The profundity of their magical power was considerably weaker compared to Celestial Immortals who had advanced to the Small Universe realm.

At this thought, Eldrin recalled something else and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Dao, do you know if the Western Abyss Dragon King attained his Dao through this method?"

Daoist Zixuan furrowed his brow slightly upon hearing this. After a moment, he remarked, "I've heard that since the Western Abyss Dragon King achieved his breakthrough, his Karmic Calamity Radiance has blotted out the sky across 10 1000 miles."

"If my assumptions are correct, he has most likely taken this very step."

At this point, Daoist Zixuan sighed once more and said, "An Earth Immortal who has attained dual Taiyi Dao Fruits would most likely have to sacrifice their Earth Immortal Great World without sufficient serendipity."

"This is also 1 of the reasons why most beings with dual Taiyi foundations remain at the early stage of Celestial Immortal."

Next, Daoist Zixuan told him a great deal, all of it little-known secrets.

Eldrin found their conversation flowing with remarkable ease, as if their spirits resonated on a profound level. A sense of regret for not having met sooner quietly blossomed between them.

After a long while had passed, the group prepared to part ways. Before bidding farewell, Daoist Zixuan turned to Eldrin and said, "This journey has yielded me no small gains."

"This treasure shall remain with you, my worthy brother, as a token of my gratitude for aiding me in that predicament."

Elder Violet Mystery spoke as he handed a precious casket to Eldrin (Person Name).

Eldrin accepted the treasure without declining, simply saying, "My gratitude, Daoist Brother."

After bidding farewell to Daoist Zixuan, Eldrin led the group toward the Return Abyss Sea. Along the journey, he opened the treasure storage box and discovered, to his astonishment, that it contained numerous rare treasures. Their combined value was estimated at 2,000,000 immortal origins.

Witnessing this, Lyra sighed, "2 million Immortal Sources at the drop of a hat—such is the grandeur of a Perfected Earth Immortal at the peak of their cultivation, truly lavish in their dealings."

Eldrin nodded and couldn't help but laugh. "It seems at the next Exchange Assembly, I'll be able to purchase a sufficient amount of Galaxy Starfall Pills."

With those words spoken, Eldrin soon returned to the Abyssal Sea.

Upon his return to the clan, Eldrin immediately summoned Lila and Lady Yan Zi, among others, and inquired, "During our years of absence, has anything of significance occurred within the clan?"

"Nothing of consequence."

Lila replied, yet with a trace of gravity in her tone, "However, in recent years, our clan has had some conflicts with the Flowing Fire Star Palace."

Eldrin's brow twitched faintly at these words, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

As the saying goes, 1 mountain cannot shelter 2 tigers, and the Flowing Rivers and 100 Seas could not accommodate 2 supreme Earth Immortal blessed lands either.

In truth, Eldrin had long foreseen that as the Chen Immortal Clan gradually rose to prominence, conflict with the Flowing Fire Star Palace was inevitable. Yet even he never expected it to arrive so swiftly.

After much deliberation, Eldrin finally said, "The enemy is strong while we are weak. For now, we must continue to lie low."

"Pass down the order: we must restrain our clan members and avoid conflict with the Flaming Ember Palace whenever possible."

Seraphina Qu (Person Name) nodded upon hearing this. "Mm, I will."

Within the clan today, the mortals and low-level cultivators primarily belong to Chen Xianzhang's lineage, most being descendants of Eldrin (Person Name) and Seraphina Qu (Person Name). The presiding immortals managing affairs are largely grandchildren of Seraphina Qu (Person Name) and Eldrin (Person Name).

It was indeed most appropriate for Seraphina Qu (Person Name) to personally handle the arrangements.

After confirming that nothing major had occurred within the family, Eldrin declared, "We now have sufficient Virtuous Radiance. From this point onward, we shall enter seclusion for cultivation, seizing every moment to advance into the middle stage of the Earth Immortal realm as swiftly as possible."

With those words spoken, Eldrin resumed his secluded cultivation.

He first secretly planted the Taiyi Immortal Fruit within the Return to Ruins Blessed Land, then resumed his daily cultivation.

In the years that followed, Eldrin discovered that the Heavenly Spiritual Roots they had planted in the Earth Immortal Realm with Lyra and others had borne numerous ripe spirit fruits.

He gathered these immortal fruits 1 by 1. After refining the special ones, he began studying alchemical recipes and created several elixirs that could enhance cultivation. Unconsciously, the pace of his cultivation progress quickened yet again.

Thus, in the blink of an eye, 50 1000 years had passed.

Until 1 day, 50 1000 years later, Eldrin awoke from his secluded cultivation chamber, a faint smile gracing his lips.

"2 100 1000 years have passed since I transcended the Great Tribulation, and I have finally reached the third level of Earth Immortal."

Sensing the Heaven and Earth spiritual qi within his inner world, Eldrin let out a subtle sigh of relief.

To be fair, after breaking through to the Earth Immortal realm, a celestial's cultivation progress becomes increasingly sluggish.

He had previously refined various spiritual treasures and the Source of the Dao, taking 70,000 years to advance from the first level of Earth Immortal to the second level.

Now that there was no shortage of resources, it still took 130,000 years to break through to the third level of Earth Immortal. To cultivate to the peak of the third level of Earth Immortal would likely require another 130,000 years.

"Relying solely on arduous cultivation would likely be insufficient to meet the deadline. I'll need the assistance of immortal elixirs like the Galaxy Starfall Pill."

With this thought in mind, Eldrin emerged from his secluded cultivation chamber.

After emerging from seclusion, Eldrin found that Lyra had been waiting for quite some time.

When she saw him, Lyra (Person Name) spoke with a smile, "Congratulations, my husband. Breaking through to the third level of the Earth Immortal realm has further strengthened your magical power."

Eldrin nodded, a faint smile gracing his lips.

This breakthrough to the third layer of the Earth Immortal realm had increased his magic power by over 30 percent. Though the quality of his magic power remained largely unchanged, it significantly enhanced Eldrin's (Person Name) endurance in sustained combat.

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but smile faintly. "Merely a minor realm breakthrough—nothing more than following the established path. Hasn't Madam also achieved a breakthrough recently?"
