Chapter 1568 : 3 Immortals of Void

For such scriptures involve the power of the Great Dao, with the principles of the Great Dao imbued within them.

Even if you were given the complete ancient scripture, you could never comprehend it without unlocking the Great Dao shackles upon it. Yet the power of the Great Dao is vast and boundless—to break these shackles would likely be impossible even for the ancient immortals.

Eldrin understood this point well and harbored no covetous thoughts toward the Sutra of the Sixth Buddha. He nodded slightly and said, "For the Divine Monk to cultivate this sutra, your identity in a past life must have been extraordinary."

“When you ascend to the celestial realm 1 day, the Divine Monk will surely attain the Great Dao of a Celestial Immortal, and perhaps even glimpse that supreme realm.” Upon hearing this, the Divine Monk of Tribulation Crossing replied serenely, “I cannot compare to your peerless talent, Fellow Daoist.”

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) wanted to say more, but his brow furrowed slightly as he spoke: "Since the Purple Realm remains unharmed, it is no longer appropriate for me to linger."

"Then we shall entrust the Violet Realm to the Divine Monk's care for now, while we venture forth to confront this Starfall Abyssal Legion." With these words, Eldrin bid farewell to the Tribulation Transcendence Divine Monk, a wisp of his divine consciousness returning to its true form beyond the Violet Realm.

After his divine sense returned, he wasted no time and immediately transformed into a streak of light, speeding toward the depths of the starry sky. At their speed, even distances spanning light-years were but a stone's throw away.

Eldrin tore through the void itself, traversing hundreds of light-years in a single step to arrive beyond the boundaries of the Realm of Cosmic Void.

As he arrived beyond the Realm of Empyreal Void, he discovered a group of horned demons relentlessly besieging 3 figures. "They're Astral Demons."

Seeing the figures before him, the Lord of the Dao Palace slightly furrowed his brow as he carefully observed the path.

Hearing this, everyone began to scrutinize them more carefully. The Astral Demon Clan was an exceptionally powerful lineage among the demon races. Though their numbers were scarce, every member who reached adulthood would attain at least the Nascent Soul Realm.

Before the Cosmic Void Realm, there stood only a few 100 Starry Sky Demons, yet each had reached the Nascent Soul Realm. Among them, 7 or 8 had even attained the True Demon Realm.

However, even though the True Demon Realm was formidable, it was nothing significant to the assembled experts. Every 1 of them present could annihilate it with a mere snap of their fingers.

Eldrin had yet to make a move, yet with a mere flick of his sleeve, Lin Tianqi unleashed torrents of sword energy that swept through the starry river, annihilating the horde of Starry Sky Demons and rescuing the 3 figures.

The 3 of them, suddenly saved, immediately revealed expressions of ecstatic joy.

But among the 3, an elderly man bowed and said, "We thank you esteemed seniors for saving our lives." Seeing this, Eldrin smiled faintly and replied, "Fellow Daoist Voidwanderer, there's no need for such courtesy."

"You know me, Senior?"

That elderly man was none other than the celestial being from the Higher Realm of Void Cosmos—Daoist Void Cosmos.

In ages past, the Realm of Empyreal Void was assailed by the Calamity Abyssal Deity, bringing the entire world to the brink of annihilation.

At that time, Eldrin had once mended the World Membrane for the Void Realm, saving the world from imminent destruction, and had crossed paths with the Void Daoist.

Now, after several 100 1000 years had passed, Eldrin had already broken through to the late-stage Earth Immortal realm. Because of this, Daoist Huanxu did not immediately recognize Eldrin's origins.

However, the 2 immortals—1 man and 1 woman—standing beside Daoist Huanxu glanced at Eldrin (Person Name). The woman hesitated for a moment before asking, “Senior, could you be the legendary Patriarch of the Returning Abyss from the 7 Saints Palace?”

"Indeed."

Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod and replied with detached composure.

The 2 immortals, 1 male and 1 female, were immediately overcome with emotion and prostrated themselves, saying, "Disciples Minghu and Lingxuan pay respects to the Patriarch."

Eldrin finally understood that these 2 individuals had both attained immortality within the last several 100 1000 years. Hailing from the 7 Sages Palace of the Cosmic Void Realm, they could essentially be considered his own disciples' disciples.

However, since the 7 Saints Palace was merely founded by a few of Eldrin's nominal disciples, Eldrin himself had not left behind his own celestial coordinates in the Immortal Realm. Thus, neither of them managed to locate the Return Abyss Immortal Alliance of the Immortal Realm.

After grasping this point, Eldrin nodded slightly. With a sweep of his sleeve, he lifted the 2 figures and remarked with a gentle smile, "Not bad at all. To which immortal realm have you 2 ascended now?"

"The 2 of us are currently in the Southern Haotian Realm of the Qingcang Immortal Domain."

As the 2 disciples and descendants recounted their tale, Eldrin gradually came to understand their circumstances.

It turned out that Daoist Minghu was the founding master of the 7 Saints Palace, having attained ascension to immortality a mere 300,000 years ago.

However, due to his mediocre talent and the fact that he had no immortal vein to cultivate for the first dozen or so millennia, his progress in cultivation was extremely slow. He had only reached the fourth level of the Ascendant Realm thus far.

Spirit Vortex Immortal had attained immortality for less than 70 1000 years. With Daoist Minghu's unwavering support, her cultivation journey progressed with remarkable speed, having now reached the third level of Ascendant Immortal realm.

However, the 2 of them never expected that their patriarch would actually be a late-stage Earth Immortal—a revered ancestor of immense power. Overwhelmed with emotion, they wept tears of joy and eagerly sought to acknowledge their lineage and return to their roots.

Eldrin had no objections. After all, these were his own disciples and descendants—their return to the immortal realm to reconnect with their roots was only natural. However, the Void Wanderer Taoist was anything but calm, for he now realized that Eldrin was the very immortal he had befriended all those years ago.

Although he had long anticipated that Eldrin (Person Name) might have an extraordinary background, he still found it incredible that Eldrin (Person Name) had cultivated to the Eighth Level of Earth Immortal in just a few 100 1000 years.

He couldn't precisely gauge Eldrin's cultivation level, yet he could vaguely sense that the pressure emanating from Eldrin far surpassed that of an ordinary Earth Immortal.

In the past, when he attended the trade assembly, he had the fortune of witnessing a mid-stage Earth Immortal. At that time, he only felt that the aura of that Earth Immortal ancestor was as profound as the abyss and as boundless as the ocean—utterly unfathomable.

But at this moment, he realized that the aura of that Earth Immortal was likely far inferior to Eldrin (Person Name).

Even the 11 individuals around Eldrin (Person Name), any 1 of them far surpassed that Earth Immortal at the mid-stage.

Even Dorian, the weakest in cultivation base, seemed to emanate an aura more formidable than that Earth Immortal at the mid-stage from years past.

Thinking of this, he immediately became utterly reverent and said with immense astonishment, "To think that in just over 8 100 1000 years, Senior has already reached such heights. Truly worthy of being called..."

Elder Voidwalker's voice trembled with shock, "The... the legendary 9 Revolutions Soul Pearl? How could it possibly appear in this mortal realm?" He stared intently at the glowing pearl in the youth's palm, his spiritual senses involuntarily probing forward. Yet when they approached within 3 feet of the pearl, they were instantly dissolved by an invisible force, vanishing without a trace. "This is no illusion..." Elder Voidwalker murmured to himself, his gaze shifting between the pearl and the youth's calm expression. Countless thoughts raced through his mind—from seizing the treasure to forming a connection, from reporting to the sect to keeping it secret. The youth seemed to read his mind, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Senior seems quite interested in this trinket?" Elder Voidwalker's expression shifted several times before he finally suppressed his thoughts.

Eldrin did not reply, merely giving a slight nod as he said, "I heard there are Starfall Demons in the lower realm, so I took the opportunity to descend for a visit."

"To think I would encounter old friends and disciples here—this is truly a fortunate encounter."

Eldrin spoke with detached calm, then smiled faintly. "I observe your cultivation has reached perfection, Fellow Daoist. You are likely not far from the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm." "Your words flatter me."

Elder Voidshaker shook his head repeatedly, knowing full well that the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm represented an immense barrier.

Though he was an ancient immortal who had lived for over a million years, having survived 1 great tribulation and cultivated his power to the peak of the ninth level of Ascendant Immortal realm, taking that final step remained incredibly arduous without a monumental opportunity.

Understanding this, Void Pilgrim grew even more reverent toward Eldrin.
