Chapter 1562 : Meeting Qingyuan

The Daoist Yu left in haste and returned just as swiftly.

Soon after, he arrived with a green-robed Daoist in tow.

The Taoist’s cultivation was merely at the early Earth Immortal stage, yet his demeanor and bearing were exceptionally noble and majestic. This was none other than the ghostly form of Qingyuan Daoren (Person Name).

The Daoist Qingyuan did not speak immediately. Instead, he stepped forward and sat facing Eldrin (Person Name). Seeing this, the Sovereign of the Ancient Ruins and Daoist Yu tactfully withdrew from the chamber.

Watching the 2 depart, Daoist Qingyuan turned to Eldrin (Person Name) and asked, “What matter brings you to seek me?”

Eldrin did not answer immediately. With a mere flick of his sleeve, an extraordinarily radiant cyan immortal sword gradually materialized before him. "Senior, do you recognize this blade?"

"Ding."

The Green Abyss Sword (Magic Treasure) emitted a soft hum, recognizing its master as it began circling slowly around Daoist Green Abyss.

Elder Qingyuan's gaze flickered slightly as he slowly gripped the Green Abyss Sword (Magic Treasure). An immediate sense of profound connection coursed through his veins, stirring a faint tremor in his heart that brought him sudden clarity.

He lowered his gaze in contemplation, then sighed after a moment. "Old friend, it has been far too long." "The affairs of bygone eras feel but a blink—hundreds of thousands of years have passed. Never did I imagine we would meet again in this realm."

Eldrin finally understood that Daoist Qingyuan had regained some of his memories. He spoke softly, "It seems my journey here was merely superfluous." Daoist Qingyuan gave a slight nod. As it turned out, he had recovered fragments of his memories many years earlier.

As his cultivation continued to advance, his memories from before death would gradually and completely return.

Qingyuan Daoist (Person Name) poured a shallow cup of tea and remarked placidly, "Tell me, how has the Purple Realm (Location) changed over these years?" "All remains well."

Eldrin began to speak slowly, recounting to Daoist Qingyuan the series of changes that had taken place in the Violet Realm over recent years.

Daoist Qingyuan listened quietly. When he realized that the Violet Realm's demonic tribulation had been quelled and numerous heroes had emerged, he nodded slightly and remarked, "The Violet Realm was once the land of the Great Luo. Indeed, boundless fortune converges there."

"This land of hidden dragons, with but a slight improvement in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, could nurture a true dragon of unparalleled talent." "Alas, our Violet Immortal Sect has severed its lineage of the Dao."

Eldrin couldn't help but let out a soft sigh upon hearing this.

The Violet World's Violet Immortal Sect was the direct lineage of the Violet Immortal Lord. Legend held that during its golden age, this branch had successively seen numerous immortals ascend to the heavens.

Over 8 100 1000 years ago, before the sudden fall of Immortal Monarch Zi, the cultivators of the Violet Immortal Sect had inexplicably vanished, with only a handful remaining.

Daoist Qingyuan could be considered the last sect master of the Violet Immortal Sect. When he was born, the sect had already dwindled to just a handful of disciples, becoming 1 of the weakest among the Nascent Soul Dao traditions.

"The mortal lineage of a Great Luo Sect, yet its final patriarch fell to a mere Nascent Soul Heavenly Demon." Daoist Qingyuan spoke slowly, then finally shook his head. "I have truly failed our ancestral founders."

Hearing this, Eldrin couldn't help but ask, "Senior, may I ask what you plan to do next?" "Take 1 step and see."

Daoist Qingyuan shook his head and spoke gravely, "Our origins must remain unspoken. We should focus on diligent cultivation. When our cultivation base grows sufficiently powerful, we shall fear nothing in this world."

"By the way, you must not reveal the Waymark of the Violet Realm to anyone, or even Heavenly Immortals might covet it."

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this and said, "The celestial beacon of the Violet Realm has been concealed by the Violet Immortal Lord. None can locate its whereabouts." As he spoke these words, a faint stirring arose unbidden within Eldrin's heart.

The Violet Realm, banished by the Violet Immortal Sovereign into the boundless cosmos and concealed by the Sovereign's methods, remained hidden even from the Great Luo Golden Immortals—its cosmic coordinates forever beyond their grasp.

Whoever attempts to divine the location of the Violet Realm will be obstructed by the hidden safeguards left by the Violet Immortal Sovereign. Even with precise spatial markers, pinpointing the Violet Realm's position remains exceedingly difficult.

Even an immortal who ascended from the Violet Realm would find their memory obscured by an unseen force, unable to retain the exact spatial coordinates of the Violet Realm.

Only Eldrin and Lyra seemed to be rather unique, possessing an inexplicable resonance with the Dao Markers of the Violet Realm. Through the immortal traces they had left behind in the Violet Realm, they could locate its position.

Of the 2 of them, Lyra (Person Name) had received the legacy left in the mortal realm by the Violet Immortal Lord, while Eldrin (Person Name) himself did not know why he could sense it. Considering Daoist Qingyuan’s current special status, Eldrin (Person Name) did not inform him of his ability to return to the Violet Realm.

He let out a soft sigh, recalling the purpose of his visit, and spoke, "I have come to fulfill the promise made all those years ago." With that, he recounted his pact with the Green Abyss Sword (Magic Treasure) to Daoist Qingyuan.

After listening, Daoist Qingyuan could not help but laugh. "If I were to reincarnate, could I achieve the status of a Celestial Immortal?" Eldrin (Person Name) shook his head and said, "Becoming a Celestial Immortal is exceedingly difficult—I fear it would be a journey of 10 1000 hardships."

Elder Qingyuan continued, “Then, can 1 attain the rank of Terrestrial Immortal?”

Eldrin (Person Name) pondered briefly before saying, "Becoming an Earth Immortal is exceedingly difficult—it hangs in a delicate balance."

Seeing this, Daoist Qingyuan spoke up: "As the Netherghost Ancestor in this lifetime, I can neither ascend to the Celestial Immortal Realm through rebirth tribulation, nor dare claim to retain my current cultivation base."

"In that case, why should I bother to walk the path of reincarnation?"

At this point, Daoist Qingyuan said, "The third condition from back then shall be considered void." "I understand."

Eldrin gave a slight nod. The conclusion of hundreds of thousands of years of karma inexplicably eased his spirit.

The Heart Demon Oath from back then was already insignificant to the present-day Eldrin, yet it had remained a lingering concern for him all these years. Now that the matter was resolved, he felt a weight lifted from his heart, and his spirits grew remarkably serene.

Seeing this, the Azure Abyss Daoist smiled faintly and said, "Your journey has been in vain this time. However, in a few days, the Other Shore Ghost City will host an Earth Immortal-level Trading Conference."

"While most Netherrealm objects hold little value for immortals like yourselves, the few that are useful are all unique products from the deepest reaches of our realm." Hearing this, Eldrin's eyes faintly gleamed as he inquired, "Might I ask if Nether Miasma will be available at this auction?"

Nether Miasma?

Daoist Qingyuan was momentarily taken aback before shaking his head. "That Nether Miasma is exceptionally rare—it serves as the crucial catalyst for refining ninth-rank Nether Profound Pills and is also sought after by Nether Realm powerhouses."

"As a rule, such treasures only appear at Celestial Immortal-level exchange gatherings and would never circulate in an Earth Immortal-level auction." "I see."

Eldrin furrowed his brow slightly upon hearing this, a faint sigh stirring within his heart.

An auction of the Celestial Immortal level was beyond his current qualifications to access. It seemed the Netherworld Miasma remained exceptionally difficult to obtain.

Seeing this, Daoist Qingyuan fell into a brief contemplative silence before remarking, "If you truly seek the Netherworld Turbid Qi, I happen to know of a source." "Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Eldrin's eyes lit up as he said, "Please enlighten me."
