Chapter 1583 : 9 Layers of Earth Immortals

If not for both Eldrin (Person Name) and the Violet Mystic Daoist descending to the mortal realm to confront the Demon Lord, this Central Earth Deity would have found it nearly impossible to achieve enlightenment.

Lyra also understood this point and couldn't help but nod in agreement. "The timing of his breakthrough was exquisitely precise. Most likely, he sought guidance from a supreme master to calculate the most opportune moment with the least peril for attaining the Dao."

"He got lucky."

Eldrin spoke with an air of detachment, then murmured thoughtfully, "Upon my return, I noticed the waters of the Western Mist Divine Abyss have receded by no small measure."

Lyra nodded, her expression grave. "Indeed, the Western Mist Divine Abyss Sea is suffering a great drought. Compared to several 100 1000 years ago, its waters have diminished by over 10 percent."

Over the years, the sea level of the vast Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea had dropped by more than 10 percent.

1 must understand that the Immortal Realm Continent was boundless and vast, with the ocean floor spanning tremendous variations in elevation, while the sea itself reached depths of hundreds of millions of miles.

Now that the sea level had dropped by 10 percent, the number of immortal mountains and mystical islands that had emerged was simply countless.

In many places where the seabed was shallow, the oceans had even transformed into mulberry fields, becoming a vast continent stretching across countless hundreds of millions of miles.

Upon these continents, seabed treasures accumulated over hundreds of millions of years reemerged into the world. The power of Water Element had drastically diminished across the newborn lands, while the primordial energies of Fire, Metal, Wood, and Earth—suppressed for eons by aquatic dominance—began their resurgence. As heaven and earth cycled their energies, countless earth veins manifested throughout the mortal realm, many containing rare and extraordinary treasures that sparked fierce competition among immortal sects and blessed realms. Whispers spread of numerous conflicts erupting over these precious finds.

"For hundreds of millions of years, the Abyssal Pearl has absorbed over half of the primordial qi from the Sea of Western Qi Divine Abyss." "Who would have thought that now, as the water element power is being devoured, the 5 elemental energies in the Sea of Western Qi Divine Abyss are gradually balancing out, ultimately making the sea increasingly prosperous." Eldrin (Person Name) murmured softly, his eyes contemplative.

For billions of years, the depths of the Xī Qì Shén Yuān Hǎi had remained virtually untouched by true development.

He had a premonition that once the waters of the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea gradually receded, countless seabeds would emerge from the ocean floor, unveiling a staggering wealth rarely seen in this world.

By that time, even the major grotto-heavens across the 6 Western Celestial Domains would likely find it impossible to remain seated.

As the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea gradually dried up, a great turmoil spanning hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of years might slowly descend.

"Affected by the depletion of the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, it may become a core calamity zone during this Heavenly Tribulation."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, a trace of solemnity flashing across his brow.

Seeing this, Lyra (Person Name) couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I was just lost in thought."

Eldrin shook his head. The Abyssal Pearl was far too significant; he dared not inform Lyra, lest it be detected by those ancient immortals or even the Great Luo.

But over these years, Eldrin had long since given Lyra numerous hints.

It could be said that Lyra had an inkling in her heart, knowing full well that Eldrin must possess a formidable treasure in his grasp.

Understanding that Eldrin (Person Name) couldn’t speak plainly, Lyra (Person Name) refrained from pressing further. With a gentle smile, she said, “In that case, focus on your cultivation for now. Break through to the Great Perfection of the Earth Immortal realm first.”

"Hmm."

Eldrin nodded, then and there remaining within the Starry Glazed Realm to begin secluded cultivation in earnest.

This time, 8 1000 years passed in the blink of an eye before Eldrin slowly opened his eyes within the seclusion chamber.

He slowly sensed the Earth Immortal world within himself and gave a slight nod. After years of arduous cultivation, the primordial qi in his Earth Immortal world had reached perfect fullness—it was time to break through.

In that case, Eldrin did not delay any further. He retrieved an ancient pill and slowly swallowed it.

This time, the ancient elixir he consumed was none other than the Dragon Phoenix Ascension Pill. With Eldrin's profound foundation and the aid of this pill, breaking through to the 9th layer of the Earth Immortal realm was as natural as water flowing downhill.

"Boom—"

As the heavens and earth roared with a deafening tumult, Eldrin’s Earth Immortal realm expanded even further, while the celestial world beyond the skies underwent an extreme and profound metamorphosis.

When all finally settled, Eldrin discovered that his Primordial Essence had surged by 50 percent. Within his dantian now resided a full 13 strands of Primordial Chaos Qi, and his magical power had undergone a profound metamorphosis.

13 Heaven-Earth Profound Yellows.

Sensing the power of the World's Origin within him, a flicker of delight surfaced in Eldrin's eyes.

You must understand, even a Ninth-Level Earth Immortal at the Sixth Heaven, upon breaking through to the Half-Step Celestial Realm, could only condense a mere 12 strands of Heaven-Earth Profound Yellow.

Eldrin was merely at the Ninth Level of the Earth Immortal realm, yet he had already condensed 13 strands of Primordial Chaos Qi. This demonstrated that the profundity of his magical power was comparable to that of a weaker Half-Step Celestial Immortal with a single Taiyi foundation.

If the Aqua Azure Lotus Throne was taken into account, Eldrin estimated that the profundity of his magical power was virtually on par with that of a cultivator at the Eighth Heaven who possessed a single Taiyi foundation.

It was precisely for this reason that Eldrin had once deduced that if he could break through the ninth level of the Earth Immortal realm, the Earth Immortal World would be capable of sustaining a single Primordial Taiyi Tree.

For his Earth Immortal realm only needed to break through the ninth layer to reach a state comparable to a Quasi-Celestial Immortal.

At this thought, Eldrin immediately directed his divine sense into the Earth Immortal Realm to observe his own Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root.

Within Eldrin's Earth Immortal realm now grew 3 supreme-grade Heavenly Spiritual Roots. These 3 peerless spiritual plants were the Immortal Peach Tree, the Ancient Enlightenment Tea Tree, and the Whirling Wind Divine-Slaying Gourd.

These 3 ancient trees were of extraordinary value; ever since obtaining the Postnatal Primordial Chaos Qi, their potential had reached the level of Taiyi Ancient Trees.

Eldrin now only needed to utilize the primordial spiritual water from the Qiankun Yiqi Vase (Magic Treasure) to elevate the 3 ancient trees to the Taiyi Ancient Tree (Spiritual Plant) level.

However, Eldrin found himself hesitating over which ancient tree to advance. Among these 3 ancient trees, the Immortal Peach Tree could accelerate 1's cultivation and increase the odds of breaking through to the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm.

Eldrin had no doubt that once this tree advanced to the Great Unity Realm and transformed into a ninth-rank Immortal Peach, its wondrous effects would undoubtedly be elevated to even greater heights.

And the Enlightening Ancient Tea Tree was even more mystical and extraordinary. Once this tree advanced to the ninth rank, it would likely tempt even the mighty Celestial Immortals.

Because the ninth-grade Enlightenment Tea could aid in cultivating divine abilities and comprehending Dao principles, it was a priceless treasure of immeasurable value.

If Eldrin possessed the ninth-tier Enlightenment Tea, there would be a sliver of possibility to evolve his innate divine ability to the Patriarch-level.

Moreover, if he wished to comprehend the Primordial Chaos Dao Principle, he would likely require the assistance of the Great Enlightenment Tea of Taiyi.

The final Wind-Severing God Gourd was Eldrin’s ultimate trump card. He firmly believed that once this treasure ascended to become a Taiyi Wonder, its power would be more than enough to grievously wound—or even slay—a powerhouse with dual Taiyi foundations.

If the 3 Great Unity foundations were ambushed by this treasure, there might even be a risk of their foundations collapsing. Faced with these 3 treasures, Eldrin now found himself hesitating over which 1 to choose. "The Immortal Peach Tree enhances cultivation, the Enlightenment Tea boosts potential, while choosing the Howling Wind Gourd of Divine Execution would directly increase combat power. Which 1 should I advance first?"

Eldrin's brow twitched slightly. After a moment's hesitation, he finally steeled his resolve.

Upon a jade meditation platform polished smooth by countless moons, a young man in azure robes exhaled slowly. A faint golden light shimmered around him before dissolving into the twilight. "15 years," he murmured, his voice barely disturbing the mountain's silence. "15 years of cultivation, yet I remain trapped at the third layer of Qi Refining." His gaze fell upon the spirit stones arranged before him - precisely 1,280 in number, each glowing with subdued luminescence. They represented his entire savings from 3 years of sect missions. Tonight, he would attempt the impossible. The memory surfaced unbidden - that fateful stormy night when the mysterious elder had pressed the jade slip into his palm. "The 9 Revolutions Mystic Art," the old man had whispered, "can elevate mortals to immortality or reduce immortals to dust." Suddenly, the air grew heavy. Dark clouds converged overhead, swirling into a vortex of terrifying energy. Lightning forks danced between clouds, illuminating the towering figure that materialized from the void. "So this is where the last inheritor hides," the newcomer's voice rumbled like distant thunder. In his hand crackled the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure), its blade bleeding crimson light into the gathering storm. The young cultivator's fingers tightened around his own humble sword. After 20-some years of avoiding pursuit, the day of reckoning had finally arrived. He could almost hear the phantom echoes of that long-ago warning: "This path leads either to eternity or oblivion." As the first lightning bolt descended, he realized this confrontation would demand more than mere cultivation - it would require everything he was, and everything he might become.
