Chapter 1413 : The Gathering of Immortal Allies
Nyssa Qu [the Dancer] nodded upon hearing this and said, "Now that Lila and Yvonne the Violet Consort have achieved their breakthroughs, our strength holds the advantage. Should we act immediately?" "Not yet," Eldrin Chen [the Abyssal Emperor] shook his head, then continued, "With our current power, we hold a slight edge over them, but not an overwhelming one."
"In terms of pure Mana [the spiritual energy used for cultivation] reserves, First Layer Earth Immortal [the initial stage of the Earth Immortal realm] cultivators like myself and Lyra still cannot match these Late Stage Earth Immortal [cultivators at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm]. If we cannot break their formation and the battle turns into a protracted struggle, we would likely be the ones at a disadvantage."
Yvonne the Violet Consort also nodded in agreement and spoke, "If that is the case, then we must go all out and request the aid of several close friends."
Eldrin Chen agreed and decided to set the plan in motion, saying, "To prevent them from sensing anything amiss, we must act swiftly—so fast they cannot react. "I will go to the Netherworld Realm [a realm of ghosts and yin energy] and the Sky Abyss Sea [the Celestial Abyssal Sea] today. Using the Spatial Law [the Dao principle governing space] to conceal my presence, I will invite them to join us."
Regarding gathering allies to besiege the Alligator Clan and the Wei Sea Dragon Clan, Eldrin Chen felt completely at ease.
Having cultivated for one hundred thousand years now, calling for reinforcements when outmatched was not something he was doing for the first time.
He had forged wide friendships, conducted himself with fairness, and never treated the Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for fellow cultivators] around him poorly. Wasn't the very purpose of this mutual support and assistance in times of need?
Now, with trouble at his doorstep, Eldrin Chen immediately set aside pride. Shrouding himself with the Spatial Law, he stealthily infiltrated the Ancient Ruins Ghost City [a city of spirits within ancient ruins].
After meeting Ancient Ruins Yin Lord [the Nether Lord of the Ancient Ruins], Eldrin Chen let out a long sigh and said, "Brother Ancient Ruins, today I have fallen victim to a scheme and have come, thick-skinned, to seek your aid." "Oh?"
Ancient Ruins Yin Lord was slightly taken aback, his brow furrowing slightly as he said, "With your strength, Fellow Daoist, there cannot be many within the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea [the Western Qi Divine Abyssal Sea] who would dare scheme against you." "Indeed." Immerse yourself in the complete world at AUDIO-NOVEL.COM.
Eldrin Chen nodded, recounting the cause and effect of this journey to Ancient Ruins Yin Lord. After listening, Ancient Ruins Yin Lord could not help but frown slightly at the brow and said, "I have heard of the Wei Sea Dragon Palace. At the peak of their power, this lineage was said to have an Earth Immortal Nine Layers Ancient Ancestor."
"Over forty thousand years ago, the master of the Wei Sea Dragon Palace, the Dragon King of the Western Abyss, was slain while presiding over a formation by the Profound Heart Deity using the Primordial Unity Ancient Talisman. However, it is unknown if any contingency plans were left behind."
Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed slightly. He then spoke, "With my current strength, even if he left behind contingencies, I should be capable of handling them."
Continuing, Eldrin Chen added, "Rest assured, after this matter succeeds, I will certainly not treat Fellow Daoist unfairly. If there are High Grade Heaven-Opening Treasure, you may choose one for yourself."
"There is no need for such formality."
Recalling how Eldrin Chen had often supported his old friends, Ancient Ruins Yin Lord nodded in agreement and said, "Given the friendship between us, I will certainly assist you with all my strength."
"However, I do not desire treasures. I too have a difficult hurdle to overcome. After this is done, I ask for your aid in lending me a hand."
Seeing this, Eldrin Chen smiled and said, "Since Fellow Daoist is willing to help me overcome this difficulty, I naturally will not refuse Fellow Daoist's request."
With that said, neither spoke further on the matter.
Eldrin Chen used his Void Power to conceal Ancient Ruins Yin Lord and quietly brought him back into the depths of the Abyssal Sea Region.
After returning to the Abyssal Sea Region, Eldrin Chen subsequently traveled to the Sky Abyss Sea, the Earth Spring Sea, and the Setting Sun Sea, bringing back Sky Abyss Daoist, Earth Spring Ancient Ancestor, and Skywind the Daoist.
The only place he did not go was the Glazed Blessed Land. His current relationship with the Glazed Blessed Land was known to all, and places like the Flowing Fire Star Palace were certainly monitoring the area around it closely.
If he were to go to the Glazed Blessed Land, the Alligator Clan would undoubtedly receive the news immediately. They would then flee deep into the Boundless Sea Region, leaving Eldrin Chen utterly in the dark.
Returning to the main point, with the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void in hand, Eldrin Chen could traverse an entire sea region in a single day.
Coupled with the swiftness of the Five-Colored Aurora and its passengers, after fetching Ancient Ruins Yin Lord, Eldrin Chen managed to bring all his allies to the Abyssal Sea Region in the brief span of three days.
Seeing that everyone had assembled, Eldrin Chen felt a slight sense of reassurance settle within him.
For this battle, to thoroughly resolve the threat posed by the Alligator Clan, Eldrin Chen had gone all out, gathering a total of ten Earth Immortal [powerful cultivators who have transcended mortality and attained a profound connection with the earth's spiritual veins].
Among them, the strongest was Eldrin Chen himself, whose combat power was at the Eighth Level Earth Immortal tier. Next was Lyra Jiang, whose power matched that of a Seventh Level Earth Immortal.
Those with one foot already in the Seventh Level Earth Immortal realm were Verdant Consort and Nyssa Qu.
Possessing combat power at the Earth Immortal Sixth Layer level were four individuals: Sky Abyss Daoist, Ancient Ruins Yin Lord, Lila, and Yvonne the Violet Consort.
The remaining Skywind the Daoist, Six Stars Daoist, and Earth Spring Ancient Ancestor all possessed strength at the Early Stage Earth Immortal level.
Among the various Half-Step Earth Immortal cultivators, those not in seclusion—including the Void-Refining Immortal, Sky Feather Daoist, Master of the Dao Palace, Lin Tianqi, and seven or eight other Half-Step Earth Immortal cultivators—had all been summoned for this campaign.
Even Caelan Chen, the third son who had remained within the clan and had not yet embarked on his travels, was sought out by Eldrin Chen to participate in the battle.
Beyond these key figures of the Immortal Alliance, Eldrin Chen urgently assembled one hundred and eight Immortal cultivators. Each would wield a Formation Flag to deploy the Heavenly Stars and Earthly Fiends Constellation Sealing Grand Formation.
While such a Formation might struggle against a Late Stage Earth Immortal, it was more than sufficient to seal the Heavenly Layers [the layered spatial barriers of the heavens], making it exceedingly difficult for mid-to-late stage Earth Immortal powerhouses to escape in a short time.
At this moment, the assembled immortals did not yet fully understand the purpose for which Eldrin Chen had gathered them, but they had their suspicions. Their gazes turned as one toward Eldrin Chen. Experience the full epic at *audio-novel.com*.
Seeing this, Eldrin Chen spoke, "You are all pillars of the Immortal Alliance. There is no need to conceal today's matter from you."
"That Alligator Clan lurks beyond the Abyssal Sea Region, wantonly ambushing and slaughtering cultivators from our Abyssal Abode of Bliss and its affiliated forces daily. They spare not even Nascent Soul cultivators, nor even mortals."
"To this day, our Immortal Alliance has lost twenty-three Immortal cultivators, their flesh and blood essence utterly devoured by them."
"Such madness, such disregard for status in attacking lower-realm cultivators—as Immortal cultivators of the Immortal Alliance, I ask you, should we not wage war upon them?" "We should!"
The eyes of the assembled immortals blazed with killing intent, their hatred for their foe palpable. Ever since the Alligator Clan began their relentless ambushes within the Abyssal Sea Region, they had lived in constant fear and vigilance. Now that Eldrin Chen was finally willing to take the lead, they were more than eager to swiftly eradicate this scourge.
Seeing their resolve, Eldrin Chen spoke, his voice grave. "The battle today is of paramount importance."
"To prevent any leaks that might allow the Great Wilderness Alligator Clan to set an ambush for us, I will temporarily collect all your communication treasures. Furthermore, you must each swear a Heavenly Dao Oath [a binding vow to the Heavenly Dao, the cosmic law of the universe] to never divulge any details of this conflict."
The immortals nodded in immediate agreement.
They swore the Heavenly Dao Oath, then handed over their communication treasures one by one.
Satisfied, Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod. He had everyone conceal themselves within the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void [a mystical treasure capable of concealing beings within a pocket dimension], then quietly departed the Abyssal Sea Region.
They flew all the way to the Setting Sun Sea, arriving at the Immortal Island where the Alligator Clan was said to be hiding.
Yet, after a brief observation, Eldrin Chen found the surrounding seas utterly deserted.
"What is going on?"
Seeing this, Lyra Jiang could not help but ask, "Could the news have leaked so quickly?" This content originates from http://www . audio-novel.com. Please respect copyright.
