Chapter 1509 : Taixu Saint

The 1 who had come from the Tai Void Grotto-Heaven this time was none other than their Great Elder, Elder Void-Dweller (Person Name), whose cultivation had reached the late-stage Celestial Immortal realm.

With such strength, he ranked among the top 1 100 supreme experts across the entire Qing Cang Immortal Domain, making every Heavenly Immortal present too cautious to show the slightest neglect.

After all, those who could reach the late-stage Celestial Immortal realm were considered top-tier existences even among Celestial Immortals.

Within paradises like the Western Qi and Divine Abyss, though each housed numerous Celestial Immortals of great power, in truth, they each possessed only 1 existence at the late-stage Celestial Immortal realm.

Among the over 2 100 cave heavens in the Vast Azure Immortal Domain, only slightly more than 60 were guarded by mighty figures at the late Celestial Immortal stage. This alone demonstrated the formidable power of Cave Void Daoist before them.

More importantly, the 16 Celestial Immortals of the Tai Void Celestial Grotto were 1 of the 10 Great Celestial Grottoes in the Vast Azure Immortal Domain.

Meanwhile, the master of the Ethereal Cave Heaven, Patriarch Taixu (Person Name), had reached the pinnacle of Heavenly Immortal perfection, ranking among the 10 Supreme Powers of the Qingcang Celestial Realm. His status was second only to those transcendent Ancient Immortals.

Therefore, seeing that Daoist Voidwalker had come in person, these Celestial Immortals all grew extremely cautious.

But when the great expert of the White Tiger Clan saw this scene, he couldn't help but sneer coldly, "Elder Dongxu, your Great Void Cave Heaven lies far in the Eastern Heavenly Domain. I never expected you to make this journey today."

Upon that immortal sword, a man clad in Taoist robes opened his eyes and remarked indifferently, "I heard this pocket universe is on the verge of collapse, so I brought my junior here for some experience. There's no need for surprise, everyone."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, all the Celestial Immortals and mighty figures turned their gazes toward the figure standing behind Patriarch Dongxu.

But it was a peerless man in snow-white robes, as flawless as jade, standing quietly upon his immortal sword, his gaze carrying a touch of serene indifference.

With just a glance, the Great Power from the True Dragon Cave Heaven sneered coldly, "So this is the Holy Son of the Grand Void Cave Heaven? I’ve heard he opened 12 heavenly layers, making him the foremost human prodigy in the Vast Azure Immortal Domain in 10 million years."

"You allowed him to step into the microcosm—are you not afraid he might be nipped in the bud?" "Hmph."

Elder Void-Severer let out a cold sneer and spoke, "In this venture into the microcosmos, who will be the hunter and who the prey remains to be seen."

"You'd be better off worrying about whether your Dragon Clan's prodigy can withstand the Void-Severing Sword Art, rather than concerning yourself with our Holy Son." The Celestial Immortals felt a subtle chill pierce their brows at these words.

The Empyrean Void Cave is the foremost sword sect in the Vast Azure Immortal Realm. Its legacy technique, the Empyrean Void Sword Art, ranks first among the 10 Great Sword Arts of the Vast Azure Immortal Realm. As the pinnacle of esoteric-tier unique divine abilities, its destructive might is sufficient to sweep across all corners of the world.

If the Crown Prince of Taixu were to truly master it, he might even accomplish the feat of a Terrestrial Immortal defeating a Half-Step Celestial Immortal. At this thought, the Ancestor of the True Dragon Grotto-Heaven remained silent.

However, among the White Tiger Clan and the True Dragon Clan, several prodigies of Divine Son and Holy Son caliber had murderous intent flashing in their eyes, seemingly unconvinced in their hearts.

However, as they had yet to step into the Minor Universe, they temporarily suppressed their killing intent and refrained from further remarks. Seeing this, Eldrin did not linger. With 1 final glance at the Crown Prince of Taixu, he ultimately vanished into the boundless expanse of heaven and earth.

Shortly after Eldrin departed, the Crown Prince of Void’s brow furrowed slightly. He glanced in the direction Eldrin had left, as if sensing something. Noticing this, Daoist Voidseeker couldn’t help but ask, “What is it?”

"Nothing."

The Taixu Saint Son shook his head, merely sensing the transformations within his sea of consciousness.

Within his sea of consciousness, an ancient scripture slowly revolved, and beside it hovered an immortal sword whose aura of slaughter could shake the ages.

"So it is truly you."

The Son of the Void murmured to himself, reunited with an old acquaintance after hundreds of thousands of years. Yet, given his current peculiar circumstances, it was hardly the right moment to acknowledge their past connection.

At this thought, he slowly lowered his gaze, ultimately refraining from saying anything more.

Eldrin traversed the void and quietly returned to the Netherworld Microcosm.

When they arrived at the Netherworld Microcosm, everyone swiftly gathered around. Daoist Zixuan couldn’t help but ask, “How did it go?” “Quite a few showed up this time.”

Eldrin (Person Name) spoke slowly, his expression profoundly grave as he said.

As he continued his account, the assembly gradually grasped the scale of this situation.

This time, the Netherworld Microcosm opened its gates, drawing close to 50 beings at the half-step Celestial Immortal realm. The vast majority were Single-Dao Fruit Taiyi Realm cultivators, yet there were also a dozen or so Double-Dao Fruit Taiyi Realm experts among them.

Among these individuals, most were direct descendants of the grotto-heavens. 3 hailed from the demon tribes: the current Dragon Prince of the True Dragon Grotto-Heaven, the Phoenix Maiden of the Immortal Phoenix Grotto-Heaven known as 'Yuè Zhuó Phoenix Maiden', and the Western Geng Patriarch from the White Tiger lineage.

3 seats were also claimed by the human race, occupied respectively by the Celestial Maiden of Taibai from the Taibai Grotto-Heaven, the Saint Son of the Pure Yang Grotto-Heaven, and the Buddhist Ascetic from the Great Desert Celestial Sands Domain.

The Divine Clan also claimed 3 seats, represented by the Divine Son of Golden Radiance Cave Heaven, the Divine Son of Western Qi Cave Heaven, and the Kunji Divine Son of Kunxuan Cave Heaven.

There were 6 others with relatively ordinary backgrounds, similar to the former Eldrin and the Western Abyss Dragon King, all possessing dual Great Unity foundations.

The last figure was the Ancestor of Myriad Spirits, an ancient Earth Immortal ranked second on the Primordial Ascension Roll of the Qingcang Celestial Realm. His combat prowess surpassed even those who had attained dual Taiyi Dao Fruits, placing him in a league entirely his own.

After hearing this, everyone's expressions turned contemplative.

Elder Zixuan’s expression turned exceedingly grave as he spoke, “Among the 100 immortal races, only the 10-1000 Spirits Ancestor has arrived. It seems this conflict will once again descend into a chaotic war between our human race and the 2 clans of demons and gods.”

Everyone nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Among the 3 1000 immortal domains, the 3 most transcendent superpowers—whether they be the Human Race, the Demon Race, or even the Divine Race—were locked in a perpetual struggle for supremacy against 1 another.

However, when facing the 100 Spirit Immortal Clan, these 3 major powers would often unite to clear the battlefield first, lest the 100 Spirit Immortal Clan seize the advantage in the end.

Over time, whenever such a microcosm emerged, the 100 Spirit Immortal Clan rarely had Heavenly Immortal experts enter. Precisely because of this, most of the 100 Spirit Immortal Clan in the Qingcang Immortal Domain tended to band together for mutual support within the 100 Spirit Heavenly Domain.

At this thought, the Ancient Ruins Yin Lord also pondered and said, "The 10 1000 Spirits Ancestor will not make a move against us. Within this miniature cosmos, what we must guard against remains the demon and god races."

"The demon race and divine race are not weak, especially those divine sons and imperial sons from the grotto-heavens. Any 1 of them would be a nuisance to us."

Everyone nodded slightly upon hearing this.

An entity with dual Taiyi foundations possessed combat prowess equivalent to 2 or 3 half-step Celestial Immortals with single Taiyi foundations.

Both Lord Liuli and Patriarch Zixuan were existences who had opened the Eighth Heavenly Layer. Yet even joining forces, they could at most contend against a single Imperial Scion—and might very well still be outmatched.

For a Chosen 1 of such a celestial grotto, it was unlikely they would possess an Innate Treasure, yet they most certainly held a Taiyi Marvel as their hidden trump card.
