Chapter 1464 : The Undelivered Letter

Eldrin did not hesitate in the slightest, then exchanged several Heaven-Sundering Treasures for 3 stalks of Extreme Sunblooms, thus accomplishing his objective for this barter assembly.

"Let's go."

Seeing his wish about to be fulfilled, Eldrin did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately departed from the Divine Abyss Pavilion.

Just as the 2 departed, someone nearby asked their companion in confusion, "Within 300,000 years, the Yang Realm Small Universe will open. By then, there will definitely be massive quantities of Galaxy Star Sand Pills available for sale."

"Buying such a large quantity of Galaxy Starfall Pills at this moment, and even paying a hefty premium—isn't this person a complete fool?"

The onlooker couldn't help but glance at the 2 before remarking in a measured tone, "That person you mentioned? That's the Daoist of the Returning Abyss (Cultivator Title), whose fame has soared in recent years. They say he has opened at least 10 heavenly layers."

"Rumor has it he recently journeyed to the Demon Fall Continent in the Abyssal Purgatorial Sea. Judging by his current state, the expedition has proven remarkably fruitful."

The Tenth Heaven?

The questioner was momentarily taken aback before sighing deeply. "Since ancient times, those who have unlocked all 10 celestial layers have mostly faced calamities beyond measure."

"This individual faced a heavenly tribulation merely a million years after the dawn of creation—truly ill-fated."

The discussions among the various Earth Immortal elders held no significance in Eldrin's heart.

He made his way out of the Divine Abyss Pavilion and soon arrived at a tower known as the ‘Immortal Relay Pavilion’.

The celestial posthouse was exceptionally tranquil. As Eldrin entered, an Earth Immortal-level steward recognized him and inquired with a smile, "Your Divine Majesty, have you come to deliver something?"

"I do have a matter to trouble you with."

Eldrin smiled faintly, then began to speak.

The Celestial Post Pavilion was a direct subsidiary of the Celestial Court, established across all 3,000 celestial realms. Its primary duty was to deliver letters and parcels for immortals.

It is said that as long as 1 could afford the price, they could send letters and treasures across the boundless celestial realms.

Of course, letters capable of traversing immortal realms often required an exceedingly long time to reach their destinations, typically taking tens of thousands of years at minimum.

Eldrin had come today for the sole purpose of dispatching an item.

With a flick of his sleeve, he retrieved several artifacts and declared, "I wish to entrust these items to your care—deliver them respectively to the Abyssal Ruins Sea Domain, the Celestial Jade Palace of Heavens, and the Glazed Paradise."

"Oh?"

The attendant of the Immortal Posthouse glanced over and noticed several letters and treasures, smiling as he remarked, "Since it's an errand entrusted by the Divine Lord, you may leave it to us."

"But the shipping cost..."

Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod, then produced a measure of immortal essence from his sleeve.

After handing over the Immortal Source and treasures to the attendant of the Celestial Courier Pavilion, Eldrin (Person Name) spoke with a trace of concern, "This letter concerns matters of grave importance. I must implore your establishment to ensure its delivery."

The attendant of the Immortal Courier Pavilion took the treasures and nodded. "We'll do our best."

After giving repeated instructions, the 2 of them walked out of the Immortal Posthouse.

Lyra glanced back, a trace of concern coloring her voice. "Do you think our distress message will reach its destination?"

"It cannot be delivered."

Eldrin spoke, his gaze profound and distant: "The Blazing Fire Star Palace and those individuals would never allow us to summon reinforcements."

"What am I to do now?"

Lyra's face was etched with grave anxiety, yet Eldrin appeared utterly unconcerned.

In that instant, a faint suspicion dawned upon him, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Did you deliberately send these letters and treasures to them?”

Eldrin did not reply. Clad in snow-white robes, his slender figure stood at the edge of the Divine Abyss Immortal City, gazing into the endless void. His demeanor carried an aura of profound stillness, like an unshakable mountain anchored in deep waters.

After a long while, he finally spoke with detached calm, "Since they refuse to grant us time, why should we confront them head-on?"

A few days later, the treasure ship of the Celestial Courier Pavilion soared into the sky, crossing beyond the bounds of the Divine Abyss Immortal City.

Yet, shortly after the treasure ship departed, the colossal vessel was ambushed by mysterious immortals. Unexpectedly, the raid resulted in minimal losses—only a few letters and treasures went missing.

In the boundless void beyond the Divine Abyss Immortal City, several figures were converging.

The leader was none other than the master of the Flowing Fire Star Palace. He glanced at the letter in his hand and chuckled, "That whelp of the Returning Abyss actually thinks he can summon reinforcements."

"If I hadn't personally intercepted his letters, there might have been some trouble today."

Another person nearby sneered upon hearing this, "I heard that Eldrin (Person Name) is gravely wounded and is currently in seclusion to heal his injuries."

Yet the Heaven-Scourging Demon-Slaying True Lord could not be dispatched lightly, for he was needed to deter the Heavenly Demon of the demon race. Who among the rest could aid him?

The Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace nodded and made a promise, saying, "My old friends, your assistance today shall be richly rewarded once I recover from my injuries."

"Fellow Daoist, is there truly no other way?"

Meanwhile, Eldrin stood before the Immortal Relay Pavilion and inquired.

The steward of the celestial courier tower let out a bitter laugh, shaking his head repeatedly. "To be frank, Divine Lord, you've already drawn unwanted attention. Delivering another missive would only invite further complications."

"Alas, within the Vast Azure Immortal Realm, the influence of the Celestial Court remains far too insignificant, while the great blessed lands and celestial grottos monopolize the highest positions."

"To be frank, not even I, let alone the master of the Western Abyss Celestial Palace, can truly harness the power of the immortal court, entangled as we are by various factions."

Eldrin (Person Name) now understood why Erlang had seldom returned home since becoming a disciple under the Heavenly Halberd Demon-Slaying True Monarch.

The fundamental reason was that the Heavenly Halberd Demon-Slaying True Lord had yet to fully consolidate control over the Western Abyss Immortal Court.

In the present-day Western Abyss Celestial Court, the vast majority of high-ranking positions such as Divine Lords and Celestial Generals are almost entirely occupied by representatives from the various major blessed realms and celestial grottos.

Though the Heaven-Slaying Halberd Demon Subduer possessed world-shaking combat prowess, even he found it nigh impossible to govern this celestial court single-handedly.

For years, Erlang Chen Xiandao had been training celestial soldiers and generals within the Heavenly Court, all to assist the True Lord of Demon-Slaying Heavenly Halberd in governing the immortal realm.

"Even the Immortal Courier Pavilions within the Sea of Western Qi and Divine Abyss have rotted to the core."

Eldrin sighed inwardly, a trace of helplessness coloring his expression.

Without another word, he collected the compensation from the Immortal Relay Pavilion and headed straight beyond the boundaries of the Divine Abyss Immortal City.

Just as he was about to depart, Daoist Qixuan emerged, shaking his head and saying, "If I were you, I wouldn't venture out today."

Eldrin glanced at him, then shook his head. "If I retreat for 100,000 years today, I shall endure 800,000 years hereafter."

"But when the Dao Tribulation descends, there is ultimately no escaping it."

With those words, Eldrin continued his journey beyond the bounds of the Divine Abyss Immortal City.

Seeing this, a faint frown creased the brow of the 7 Mysteries Daoist. After a moment of contemplation, he called out to stop Eldrin (Person Name) and then tossed a stream of spiritual light toward him.

"Take this item. May it aid you in a moment of dire need."
