Chapter 1554 : The Cause of 100 Calamities Rebirth

Next, Eldrin did not head directly to the Glazed Paradise. First, he nurtured several ancient medicinal herbs with Primordial Spiritual Water, then entered the seclusion chamber to refine 2 cauldrons of immortal pills. Only then did he set out for the Glazed Paradise.

Within the Glazed Paradise, Eldrin encountered the 3 maidens: Solar Princess, Lunar Princess, and Stellar Princess.

It had been some years since they last met, and Eldrin noticed the 3 women's cultivation bases were no longer weak. Among them, both Moonlit Dancer and Starlit Enchantress had already stepped into the seventh level of the Earthly Immortal realm.

Both of them had opened 7 celestial layers, possessing the potential to ascend to the Celestial Immortal Realm in the future. It was evident that Divine Lord Liuli had invested considerable resources in nurturing them.

Only Riji's cultivation remained stagnant at the sixth level of Earth Immortal realm. Moreover, her complexion was deathly pale, as if she bore severe injuries. Eldrin, who had deep ties to Glazed Paradise, naturally understood the reason behind this.

This journey to the microcosm had yielded bountiful rewards for Glazed Celestial Lord. She took several Dragon Phoenix Ascension Pills from Eldrin (Person Name) and bestowed them upon the trio to help them break through to the late-stage Earth Immortal realm.

Among the 3, Moon Fairy and Star Fairy possessed profound foundations, both smoothly breaking through to the seventh layer of Earth Immortal. Only Sun Fairy, with her comparatively weaker foundation, failed to achieve the breakthrough.

"Alas."

Seeing that Sun Ji was badly injured, Eldrin couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

I still remember when the great calamity erupted, Sun Ji was among the original pillars, achieving successive victories against numerous foes through her coordination with Eldrin. During the cataclysm, she was also the first to break through the primordial chaos and carve a new realm.

However, precisely because it was a few moments early, Riji only opened 6 celestial layers. While this would be considered outstanding for the vast majority of Earth Immortals, at the late Earth Immortal realm, such aptitude was already quite ordinary.

If nothing unexpected occurs, it would take several more attempts for Sun Ji to break through to the late-stage Earth Immortal realm. With this thought, Eldrin took a deep breath, then retrieved a jade box from his sleeve and offered it to her. "I heard you failed your Earth Immortal breakthrough. Consider this a token of my regard—please accept it."

Riyue Ji took the jade box, and her expression shifted subtly upon a single glance.

Within the jade box lay a jade vial, a 4 Extremities Heavenly Pill, a Yin-Yang Revolving Pill, and a Dragon-Phoenix Ascension Pill. Among these 4 treasures, the 4 Extremities Heavenly Pill, the Yin-Yang Revolving Pill, and the Dragon-Phoenix Ascension Pill were all divine elixirs capable of assisting in breaking through to the late-stage Earth Immortal realm.

When these 3 precious elixirs are combined, the chance of breaking through to the late-stage Earth Immortal realm reaches 80 to 90 percent.

Within the jade vial were 1 100 drops of Innate Spirit Water. This water could heal nearly all injuries sustained by Earth Immortals, even the foundational Dao wounds inflicted by failed attempts to break through to the late Earth Immortal stage.

After recognizing the value of several treasures, Riji's hands trembled slightly as she spoke, "These treasures are far too precious. How could I possibly accept them?"

With these words, Lady Ri attempted to push the jade box back.

Eldrin shook his head with a faint smile. "Just a few magical treasures—they mean little to me. So long as they help you recover and break through to the late-stage Earth Immortal realm, it's all worthwhile."

"I still recall that back then, right here, you once gifted me a bottle of the Galaxy Starfall Pills." Upon hearing this, Sunlight Fairy couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.

She tucked away the jade box and spoke softly, "Once I achieve my breakthrough, I shall be able to nurture an Eighth-Rank, Superior-Grade Solar God Pearl." "When the time comes, I shall entrust it to you—perhaps it may aid your Stellar Glazed Realm in ascending to new heights."

Eldrin couldn't help but smile faintly upon hearing this. "Then you must strive harder. If the 3 of you break through to the Celestial Immortal realm and nurture 3 innate treasure pearls, you might just help me evolve a stellar grotto-heaven."

At this moment, not only Sun Ji, but even Moon Ji and Star Ji smiled.

Since the last great tribulation, the 3 of them had advanced almost effortlessly, cultivating all the way to the late-stage Earth Immortal realm with virtually no bottlenecks. Yet breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm was anything but simple.

Yue Ji couldn't help but shake her head before speaking, "Unless we can achieve consecutive victories in the upcoming Dao Tribulation, just as we did during the last great calamity, our path to becoming Celestial Immortals will be fraught with ever-deepening difficulties."

Eldrin nodded calmly. Without further elaboration, he spoke in measured tones, "Devote yourselves to cultivation. Should you attain the Perfected Realm of Earth Immortals before the Heavenly Tribulation descends, all may not yet be lost."

"Oh?"

The 3 women were taken aback by these words and couldn't help but glance at Eldrin in surprise.

Eldrin said nothing more, continuing his steps until he soon found the Glazed Divine Lord.

When the Glazed Goddess saw her, she motioned for the 3 women to withdraw. In a calm tone, she remarked, "It seems you harbor considerable confidence in facing this Dao Tribulation."

Eldrin did not respond, merely stating calmly, "This journey to the microcosm has finally granted me the chance to contend in the heavenly tribulation." The Glazed Divine Sovereign gave a slight nod but refrained from further words.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly spoke with startling words: "The opportunity for 100 Calamities Rebirth is approaching. If nothing unexpected happens, the peril of the next Dao Tribulation will likely be the most treacherous in 1 100 million years."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) slightly furrowed his brow.

He pondered for a moment before finally inquiring, "On multiple occasions, I’ve heard of the opportunity known as 100 Tribulations Rebirth. I wonder if you, Senior, might know what it truly refers to?"

"An opportunity for rebirth through a 100 tribulations?"

Glazed Divinity Sovereign spoke slowly, not answering immediately as she fell into deep contemplation. After a long while, she finally withdrew her gaze and looked at Eldrin (Person Name) with profound calmness. "Are you aware that since the last fall of the Heaven-Sundering Great Divinity in the Vast Azure Celestial Realm, 90-9 kalpic cataclysms have passed?" *Boom—*

Upon hearing this, Eldrin felt as if a colossal bell had exploded in his heart, sending violent tremors through his entire being.

He lifted his head and instinctively looked toward the Glazed Divine Lord. The Glazed Divine Lord gave a slight nod and affirmed, "What is meant by 'trial of a 100 calamities, life reborn'?"

"As the name implies, it refers to surviving a 100 calamities unscathed and being reborn as a Great Luo immortal."

"A Great Luo Golden Immortal's primordial spirit merges with the Dao—so long as the Great Dao remains unbroken, they can never truly perish."

"In the depths of chaos, the great deity Qing Cang of antiquity met his demise. A supreme being traversed the boundless river of time, erasing his primordial spirit from the very source of the Great Dao." "Though the primordial spirit may be severed and the Great Dao destroyed, the True Spirit remains eternal and indestructible."

All Great Luo Golden Immortals have cultivated the 1 True Spirit. Even after thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of millions of reincarnations, their divine soul remains eternally unchanged—never becoming another spirit, never turning into another self.

Though the Great God Qingcang had fallen, his true spirit remained anchored in the Great Dao. Once every 1 100 kalpic cycles, having accumulated sufficient power, he would attempt to resurrect himself from the River of Time.

The Glazed Divinity spoke with measured grace, then began, "Alas, though the mighty deity Qing Cang possessed immeasurable power, his adversary was even more unfathomable. That indescribable existence once severed Qing Cang’s divine form with a single strike of his blade, leaving behind a sword scar that pierces through endless time and space."

Since the immeasurable kalpas, the great god Qing Cang has been reborn once every 1 100 kalpas.

"Yet each time, they perish within the span of a single breath, obliterated by that sword scar that pierces through endless time and space." Liuli Shenjun spoke slowly, a flicker of terror flashing in her pupils.

She took a deep breath and finally looked at Eldrin, saying, "Across the myriad heavens and infinite realms, what fortuitous encounter could ever compare to that of a fallen Great Luo Golden Immortal?"
