Chapter 1494 : Terrestrial Immortal Fifth Layer

After returning to the Sea of Returning Abyss, he gathered all the Earth Immortals of the clan.

Everyone witnessed his Primordial Indestructible Body reaching perfection, and couldn't help but reveal traces of joyous expressions.

After scrutinizing for a long moment, Qing Ji couldn’t help but remark, “With your current combat prowess, along with our assistance, there is considerable hope of seizing the Flowing Fire Star Palace.”

"The Flaming Fire Star Palace can wait. It’s not too late to make plans after we assist Patriarch Zi Xuan in breaking through to the Grand Unity Realm." Eldrin spoke calmly, then glanced at the group and gave a slight nod of approval.

Since the conquest of the Netherworld Microcosmos, nearly 80 1000 years had slipped by unnoticed. Over these years, the group had gradually gathered a portion of rare treasures and acquired a considerable quantity of Galaxy Starfall Pills.

With ample Galaxy Star Sand Pills, the cultivation progress of the clan members advanced steadily. Unbeknownst to them, they had now all broken through to the Fifth Level of the Earth Immortal Realm.

In contrast, Eldrin (Person Name), having expended immense effort cultivating the Primordial Chaos True Body, saw his magical power progress lag slightly behind by a hair’s breadth.

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but chuckle, "It seems that before the universe meets its end, your cultivation will have reached the Sixth Level of Earth Immortal."

The few of them smiled faintly upon hearing this. Kael couldn't help but remark, "We have only opened 9 layers of heaven and earth, so our cultivation progress is naturally somewhat faster."

"However, before the Small Universe can be established, I'm afraid it would be impossible to cultivate to the late-stage Earth Immortal realm."

Eldrin nodded slightly upon hearing this. To break through to the seventh level of the Earth Immortal realm, there was still a crucial bottleneck to overcome. Without external aids, relying solely on his own accumulation would likely require at least 1,000,000 years.

Within the Great Mystery Pill Scripture held by Eldrin (Person Name), the Dragon-Phoenix Ascension Pill recorded within could assist cultivators in breaking through the bottlenecks of both the late-stage Earth Immortal realm and the Earth Immortal Perfection stage.

However, refining this pill required the consumption of the inner cores of a true dragon and a phoenix—and they had to be from eighth-grade, superior-grade Dragon-Phoenix hybrids. Such priceless treasures were exceedingly rare, and Eldrin currently had no such materials in his possession.

"I must seek another path, or perhaps seize an opportunity within the microcosm."

Eldrin pondered silently before finally speaking, "18 1000 years from now will be the very moment Fellow Daoist Zixuan attempts to breach the Great Unity Realm."

"Previously, he aided us in safeguarding the Crimson Dragon Ancient Cauldron. Such a profound debt of gratitude we must certainly repay on his behalf."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this. Lyra (Person Name) spoke up, "In that case, how many shall we send?" "7 should go."

Eldrin murmured softly before speaking aloud, "I shall go with Lyra, Qing Ji, Seraphina Qu, our clansman Kael, Ethan, and Patriarch Qi Yuan. Lila and Zi Ji shall remain to guard the family."

Hearing this, everyone gave a slight nod of agreement.

The clan's 9 Earth Immortals had dispatched 7 of their number for this endeavor, a move that could only be described as committing their entire strength to the cause.

At this thought, Lyra spoke up: "There's no rush. I'll take the Ancient Black Cauldron to set up the formation first. You should remain with the clan in secluded cultivation—see if you can break through to the Fifth Level of Earth Immortal realm before then."

"Very well."

Eldrin hesitated briefly before nodding as well after a moment.

His mana had now gradually reached completion. By refining just 2 more vials of the Galaxy Star Sand Pills, he should be able to advance to the Fifth Level of the Earth Immortal Realm.

At this thought, Eldrin cautioned, "The Black Dragon Ancient Cauldron can be entrusted to Daoist Zixuan for the formation array, but you must remember: the core retreat area he prepared for himself is strictly off-limits."

"In addition, do not absorb the immortal spiritual energy from the Violet Mystic Blessed Land, lest it lead to a shortage of such energy and cause a failure in condensing the Great Unity Dao Principle."

With Eldrin’s repeated admonitions, all of them nodded gravely again and again.

After all instructions were given, the others proceeded to the Violet Firmament Dao Palace 1 after another, while Eldrin remained within the Return Abyss Blessed Land to refine the Galaxy Starfall Elixir.

Refining a single bottle of the Galaxy Starfall Elixir would typically take around 8,000 years, while 2 bottles would require approximately 16,000 years. At this moment, Eldrin (Person Name) set aside all other matters and entered seclusion to fully concentrate on refining the Galaxy Starfall Elixir. His refinement speed increased by an additional 30 percent. Thus, in just over 12,000 years, he had completely refined the Galaxy Starfall Elixir and seamlessly broke through to the Fifth Level of the Earth Immortal realm.

"It seems I should be able to reach the Sixth Layer of Earth Immortal before my microcosm collapses," Eldrin murmured inwardly, allowing a slow breath of relief to escape his lips.

After this breakthrough, his Primordial Qi and foundational essence had increased by another 20 percent. However, since his foundational essence had not undergone metamorphosis, there was no qualitative improvement in his combat strength.

However, when channeling divine abilities and magical treasures in combat, his endurance was further enhanced.

The same principle applied to breaking through to the sixth level of the Earth Immortal Realm. Once he cultivated to the sixth level of Earth Immortal, his spiritual power would become significantly more abundant, but without a qualitative improvement in his power, his combat strength would not undergo a fundamental transformation.

Only by stepping into the seventh level of the Earth Immortal realm, where the essence of heaven and earth undergoes another transformation, would 1 achieve a tremendous breakthrough.

Once he broke through to the seventh level of the Earth Immortal realm, his Heavenly Creation laws would reach perfection, allowing his life-bound treasure to ascend into the rank of Heavenly Creation treasures.

And the 3 Profound-level innate divine abilities would also be cultivated to the Great Perfection realm. When combined, this would bring about an unprecedented qualitative transformation.

"Breaking through to the late-stage Earth Immortal realm should mark the beginning of a qualitative transformation."

"Only by stepping into that realm can I possess combat power rivaling a half-step Celestial Immortal. When the Heavenly Tribulation erupts, I might finally shed my identity as a pawn and seize the opportunity to rise above the cataclysm."

Eldrin pondered silently within his heart before finally opening his eyes slowly.

Without further delay, he stepped out of the Realm of Returning Abyss and immediately headed toward the Violet Sky Dao Palace. Traversing through endless void along the way, Eldrin soon arrived outside the Violet Sky Dao Palace. Upon ascending its steps, he discovered the palace was already bustling with extraordinary activity. Aside from the 6 Earth Immortals from the Chen Immortal Clan, there were over a dozen unfamiliar Earth Immortal patriarchs gathered there.

These Earth Immortal elders all possessed cultivation bases at least at the late Earth Immortal stage, among them were 3 experts who had reached the Great Perfection of the Earth Immortal realm. Clearly, they were all close friends of Daoist Zixuan.

Eldrin recognized 1 of them as none other than the Lord of Broken Cauldron, with whom he had once fought side by side. "Fellow Daoist of the Returning Abyss."

Upon seeing Eldrin, Lord Pofu immediately greeted him with great courtesy and proceeded to introduce the identities of all those who had come to their aid that day.

Soon, Eldrin gained a basic understanding of the group and grasped the origins of these individuals.

Among the numerous Earth Immortals who had come to lend their aid, the vast majority of these venerable patriarchs were long-time comrades of Daoist Zixuan, with many sharing profoundly close bonds.

Among the 3 Earth Immortals at the Great Perfection stage, aside from True Lord Pot-Flipper, the other 2 were named "Daoist Kuntian" and "True Lord Xuanli." Between these 2, Daoist Xuanli had opened 6 celestial apertures, placing his strength as merely average among Earth Immortals at the Great Perfection stage.

However, Daoist Kun Tian was no ordinary man. He had opened 8 layers of celestial realms and served as the Grand Elder of the Ethereal Dao Palace.
