Chapter 1476 : Ancient Cauldron Restoration

"You flatter me."

Upon hearing this, the immortals all smiled faintly. The current Eldrin, wielding the Heaven-Splitting Supreme Treasure, possessed combat prowess that ranked among the very peak of Earth Immortal Perfection.

A favor from a cultivator of such caliber could be considered immensely valuable. "This old man has been waiting for you to say those very words."

Daoist Zixuan, however, gave a faint smile and said, "In a few years, this old man will have a matter requiring your assistance." "Oh?"

Eldrin (Person Name) froze momentarily, a trace of bewilderment flashing across his expression.

The Elder of Violet Mysteries nodded slightly before speaking, "In 1 100 1000 years, I shall commence the condensation of the Supreme Unity Dao Principles. I shall require your assistance in safeguarding the process at that time."

"Breaking through to the Taiyi Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) immediately revealed a look of astonishment.

For an Earth Immortal at the Great Perfection stage, breaking through to the Grand Unity Realm was no simple feat. Countless Earth Immortals of Great Perfection had failed in their attempts to ascend to the Grand Unity Realm.

However, upon careful reflection, it seemed only natural that Daoist Zixuan could break through to the Great Unity Realm.

After all, he had cultivated 3 Heaven-Initiation Foundations and opened 8 layers of celestial realms. With such foundational strength and accumulated depth, his chances of breaking through to the Taiyi Realm would be no less than 40%.

Daoist Zixuan had already broken through to the Great Perfection of the Earth Immortal realm for over a million years. Having accumulated resources for millions of years, he had likely long gathered all the spiritual materials needed to breakthrough to the Taiyi Realm.

From this perspective, he had at least a 50 to 60 percent chance of successfully cultivating the Taiyi Dao Principle.

But now was not the time for a Heavenly Tribulation. Attempting to break through to the Taiyi Realm at this moment would surely draw enemies seeking to obstruct his path.

Those Celestial Immortals might not take action, but some formidable foes at the Great Perfection stage of Earth Immortal realm or the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm would certainly not stand idly by and watch a threat rise.

Thinking of this, Eldrin couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist, are you confident?"

"I have some degree of confidence, but I fear powerful foes may come to obstruct my path, preventing me from attaining my breakthrough with peace of mind."

Daoist Zixuan spoke slowly, then looked at Eldrin (Person Name) with a smile. "Fortunately, you possess 2 Primordial Chaos Treasures (Magic Treasure). So long as you are willing to assist me wholeheartedly in resisting the external enemies, then this old man can give it a try."

Hearing this, Eldrin gave a slight nod.

In truth, he had already formed some speculation in his heart. The reason why Daoist Zixuan chose to break through after 1 100 1000 years was also to prepare for the opening of the Minor Universe.

Once he stepped into the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm, he would have the chance to contend for the Heaven-Splitting Supreme Treasure or even the Taiyi Marvels when entering the Minor Universe in the future.

At this thought, Eldrin nodded slightly and said, "Since you wish to make a breakthrough, I will naturally assist you with all my strength." "Good."

Daoist Zixuan let out a hearty laugh and promptly patted Eldrin (Person Name) on the shoulder.

Although he and Eldrin had known each other for only a short time, their personalities aligned perfectly, giving rise to a sense of regret that they had not met sooner.

But if that were all, it wouldn't have been enough to make him take this risk for Eldrin (Person Name) this time—after all, the 2 had only known each other for a mere 1 100 1000 years.

The main reason he came this time was his regard for Eldrin's reputation. Within the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, Eldrin had already become a figure of some renown.

After making some inquiries, he learned that the Taoist of the Returning Abyss was a man of his word—his name alone was a golden guarantee. Not to mention that Eldrin (Person Name) was a man of impeccable character; once he gave his word, he would undoubtedly spare no effort to assist.

Even if he harbored other intentions, he would not easily break his promise—if only to preserve the reputation he had cultivated for so many years.

To break 1's vow is to shatter a reputation in an instant, leaving 1 distrusted for millions of years to come. Such a person would struggle to find a single true friend, doomed to walk the path of solitude for a lifetime.

Therefore, entrusting 1’s back to Eldrin (Person Name) might be safer than relying on friends known for millions of years. When breaking through a cultivation realm, asking someone to guard you is not merely about their level of power—absolute trustworthiness is the most critical factor. Otherwise, even inviting a Celestial Immortal powerhouse would be futile. If the other party harbors ill intentions, would that not be tantamount to handing over 1’s life and destiny into their hands?

With this thought in mind, Elder Zixuan (Cultivator) sighed deeply and remarked, "If this endeavor succeeds, you and I could become the closest of friends." Having said all that needed to be said, neither of them spoke further.

Eldrin expressed his gratitude to the arriving allies—Daoist Tianyuan, the Ancient Ruins Yin Lord, and other old friends—before quietly awaiting the emergence of the Crimson Dragon Ancient Cauldron.

Thus time hurried on, and in the blink of an eye, several years had passed.

Until 1 day, the Setting Sun Sea erupted with a surge of spiritual light, and a startling dragon's roar echoed across the entire sea.

Close behind, Lyra (Person Name) soared into the sky holding the Crimson Dragon Ancient Cauldron, descending upon the immortal realm like a celestial goddess taming a true dragon. "It is done."

A flicker of delight stirred within Eldrin's heart. Gazing at the Crimson Dragon Ancient Cauldron (Magic Treasure) in Lyra's hand, he couldn't help but reveal a faint smile. In the days that followed, Eldrin hosted a grand feast upon Verdant Chariot Mountain (Location), entertaining the many friends who had come to his aid.

After a long while had passed, and the Violet Mystic Daoist had departed, he led Old Mound Nether Lord and the others to a secret chamber. Within that chamber, the 9 Earth Immortal progenitors of the Chen Family, the Abyssal Daoist, and Old Mound Nether Lord sat together in meditation.

The Nether Sovereign of the Ancient Ruins swept his gaze over the assembly before speaking plainly, "Since all of you have broken through to the mid-stage Earth Immortal realm, the time has come for us to make our move."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) could not help but glance at the crowd.

They discovered that the Elder of the Forgotten Abyss had already reached the Fourth Layer of the Earth Immortal Realm, while the Daoist of the Celestial Abyss had broken through to the Mid-Stage Earth Immortal.

Evidently, over the years, both of them had made rapid progress in their cultivation. However, it was likely that they had exhausted all the gains from the Great Tribulation and the Microcosm.

At this thought, Eldrin spoke: "The time is almost right. However, there are quite a few ghost immortals within that miniature cosmos. This time, we must learn from past lessons—it would be best to mobilize a group of immortals to enter."

The Elder of the Nether Abyss nodded thoughtfully and remarked, "Your scheme to conquer the minor Yang Realm proves that after seizing the minor Yin Realm, we must still rely on it to deploy the grand formation."

"This will require a great deal of manpower—at least 300 Immortals or Ghost Immortals."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this. Daoist Tianyuan said with a grave expression, "The number of people isn’t the main issue—what matters is that we need individuals who are absolutely trustworthy."

"That's simple enough."

Eldrin had long anticipated this and spoke up, "After conquering the Netherworld Microcosm, all immortals who participated in the battle must remain within to set up the formation."

"For at least the next 2 100 1000 years, they will not appear in the Immortal Realm." "That simplifies matters."

The Ancient Ruins Yin Sovereign spoke slowly, "From my Ghost City of Ancient Ruins, we can dispatch 1 100 ghost immortals." Eldrin (Person Name) pondered briefly before responding, "My Chen Clan will contribute 2 100."

Upon hearing this, the group nodded slightly. The Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) currently had a total of 306 immortals, yet they were tasked with overseeing 30-some seas. Their manpower fell far short of what was needed.

Even if the 30-3 seas were handed over to the Immortal Alliance for management, with the Chen Clan's immortals only overseeing key immortal islands along with supervision and accounting duties, mobilizing 200 immortals would still be the absolute limit.
