Chapter 1695 : Heavenly Domains in Motion

Hearing this, the Crimson Crow Holy Scion fell into a prolonged silence.

After a moment, he took a deep breath and said, "Since Elder Brother Imperial Sun has made his decision, then Crimson Crow wishes you success in cultivating the Innate Golden Crow Physique [a supreme physical constitution said to embody the primordial power of the Golden Crow]. May it allow you to suppress all foes and sweep through this Path Tribulation [a great calamity or trial that tests one's cultivation path]."

Regarding Eldrin Chen's attempt to break through to the Triple Primordial Unity Foundation [the legendary third and highest tier of the Foundation Establishment realm], it was not only the Golden Crow Clan that was making plans.

Almost simultaneously, reactions rippled through the Eastern Pole Six Heavenly Domains, the Six Heavenly Domains of the Western Pole, and the Central Seven Heavenly Domains.

Within the Six Heavenly Domains of the Western Pole, in the heart of the Ancient Frost Soul Domain, the Frost Soul Divine Maiden received the intelligence and slowly opened her eyes.

Beside her, a verdant-robed goddess inquired softly, "Should we intervene?"

The Frost Soul Divine Maiden shook her head. After a long pause, she said, "The Returning Abyss Immortal Alliance is not weak. They possess over a dozen cultivators at the Triple Primordial Unity Foundation. Sending a small force would be futile."

"If we dispatch too many, we risk being exploited by Unfettered Great Center."

At this mention, the Frost Soul Divine Maiden's expression grew somber, a look of profound apprehension crossing her features.

The verdant-robed goddess at her side also paled slightly upon hearing this. "Unfettered Great Center truly lives up to being a direct descendant of a Primordial Era Immortal Clan. He has likely ventured far into the Forbidden Domain [a perilous and mysterious realm beyond the normal stages of cultivation]." Visit audio novel.com to enjoy the complete series.

Within the Eastern Pole Six Heavenly Domains [the six major celestial realms of the Eastern Pole], in the Void Heavenly Domain [the Heavenly Domain of Emptiness], Path Ruins Jiang stood clad in a verdant robe, gazing at the intelligence report in his hand. A heavy sigh escaped him as he spoke with profound gravity, "The Primordial Era Thunder Dragon [an ancient dragon of thunder from the dawn of time], the Zhu Yan Imperial Scion [the Imperial Scion of the Crimson Flame lineage], the Nine-Tails Heavenly Clan [the Celestial Clan of Nine-Tailed Foxes], and the Five-Colored Immortal Phoenix [the Immortal Phoenix of Five Hues]."

"Heroes rise like a tide within these Eastern Pole Six Heavenly Domains. My hands are fully tied; I can only strive to hold them back for you, if only for a moment."

In the Central Heavenly Domain [the central realm of the heavens], within the Green Sun Divine Domain [the Divine Domain of the Verdant Sun], a deity of peerless elegance and grace opened her eyes, then slowly closed them once more.

With a cold snort, she spoke in a measured tone, "Void Holy Son, Unfettered Great Center, Purple Tenuity Imperial Scion."

"In this tribulation, the Human Race has already produced three Great Encompassing True Seed [prodigies destined for the highest realms of cultivation]. Each is powerful enough to defeat and suppress a Forbidden Prodigy [a prodigy of forbidden lineage], all figures of Path Tribulation Protagonist [the caliber of a protagonist in a great path tribulation]."

"And now, Returning Abyss Path Master [the Master of the Returning Abyss Path] is added to their number. In this Path Tribulation [the great cosmic trial of cultivation paths], does the Human Race not claim nearly half of the Fortune [the heavenly fortune and destiny]?"

"The Twin Imperial Scions of Tai Cang are truly worthless, a disgrace to the mighty name of Tai Cang Divine Emperor."

Speaking thus, the Verdant Sun Imperial Scion slowly opened her eyes and finally decreed, "Since the Ancient Cang Ruins Clan [the Ancient Clan of the Azure Ruins] has decided to follow us, then let the Cang Ruins Grotto-Heaven [the Grotto-Heaven of the Azure Ruins] make the journey this time."

"…"

Regarding Eldrin Chen's recent breakthrough, the various major powers of the outside world were all making their own calculations and schemes. Even the previously defeated Twin Imperial Scions of Tai Cang, along with other forces that had suffered defeat in the past such as the Golden Radiance Grotto-Heaven [the Grotto-Heaven of Golden Radiance] and the White Tiger Grotto-Heaven [the Grotto-Heaven of the White Tiger], began to stir and grow restless once more.

Countless individuals sought to seize this opportunity, to extinguish this Human Race Path Tribulation Protagonist at the critical moment of Eldrin Chen's breakthrough.

Simultaneously, within the Six Heavenly Domains of the Western Pole, a world-shaking Formation [a complex arrangement of energy channels and nodes used for defense, attack, or cultivation] spanned the five domains, drawing the primordial energy of all five into the Returning Abyss Sea Region.

Within this grand formation stood nine figures: Exquisite Jiang, Verdant Consort, Nyssa Qu, Lila, Violet Consort Yan, Energy Abyss Chen, Ethan Chen, Kael Chen, and Worthy Verdancy Chen. Each wielded an Innate Treasure [a supreme magical artifact born from the world's essence, possessing unparalleled power] to bolster the Formation.

Guarding the formation's periphery were Verdant Seal Patriarch, Worthy Longevity Chen, Glazed Divine Lord, Violet Mystery Path Master, Blazeflame Divine Spirit, Song Luo, Primordial Solar Holy Son, Evening Star Sword Scion, Wind Cloud Path Scion, and others.

Adding the newly ascended masters of the Triple Primordial Unity Foundation [a supreme cultivation art that unifies the three primordial energies of essence, energy, and spirit] from the major powers over the past few millennia, this amounted to a staggering twenty-three peerless prodigies of combat prowess.

Such a formidable assembly was rare even among the world's greatest heroes, ranking easily within the top three. Only the Golden Crow Lineage, which had unified the Southern Ridge Six Heavenly Domains, could claim a slight edge.

Thus, they were confident in their ability to aid Eldrin Chen in perfecting the Triple Primordial Unity Foundation.

Returning to the matter at hand, on this day, the Five Domains Five Elements Grand Formation within the Returning Abyss Sea Region was pushed to its absolute limit.

An endless tide of Five Elements Origin [the primordial essence of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth] energy converged from the five great Heavenly Domain. A sky-spanning river of Five-Colored Radiant Light [a manifestation of the five elements' power] bridged three thousand immortal paths, all pouring into the depths of the Returning Abyss Sea Region and finally vanishing into a hazy, luminous silhouette.

At that very moment, nine figures descended from beyond the Heavenly Vault [the dome of the sky, often representing the heavens themselves]. Their gazes, cold and detached, fell upon the Returning Abyss Sea Region, a glint of icy intent flashing within their pupils.

At the forefront stood a figure draped in crimson imperial robes—none other than the Forbidden Prodigy of the Golden Crow Clan, the Crimson Crow Holy Scion.

At this moment, the Crimson Crow Holy Scion hovered in the air. Gazing at the vigilant figures stationed beyond the Returning Abyss Sea Region, his pupils contracted slightly as he murmured in a low voice.

"The spiritual essence [the vital energy that flows through all living things and the world] of the Six Heavenly Domains of the Western Pole is thin. In each Path Tribulation [a grand cosmic cycle where destinies converge and new powers rise], only about five or six Triple Primordial Unity Foundation [a supreme cultivation foundation representing the perfect fusion of essence, energy, and spirit] are born. It is exceedingly rare for their number to exceed ten."

"Yet this time, over twenty have ascended—a sight scarcely recorded in the annals of history."

The eight figures flanking the Crimson Crow Holy Scion were all Triple Primordial Unity Foundation whose names shook the heavens. Among them were direct disciples from Demon Race Grotto-Heaven [a blessed realm of profound spiritual energy, often a sect's headquarters], as well as individuals from ancient clans originating from beyond the Vast Azure Immortal Domain.

Hailing from various clans, they were followers of this Path Tribulation Protagonist [the central figure destined to lead an era during a Path Tribulation], the Imperial Sun Holy Scion, akin to the relationship between the Primordial Solar Holy Son and Eldrin Chen.

Hearing this, a direct disciple from a Demon Race Grotto-Heaven nodded slowly, his gaze distant and profound. "The last time the Six Heavenly Domains of the Western Pole produced more than twenty Triple Primordial Unity Foundation was over two billion years ago."

"That was the era of the Ancient Primordial Solar Grotto-Heaven's rise. They gathered seventy percent of the Fortune [the metaphysical luck and destiny of a realm or individual] within the Vast Azure Immortal Domain, and that single sect alone produced eighteen Immaculate Celestial Immortal [a flawless and powerful state of celestial immortality]."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of those present shifted subtly.

The Ancient Primordial Solar Grotto-Heaven was a legendary myth within the Vast Azure Immortal Domain. In that bygone age, the Primordial Solar Grotto-Heaven lineage boasted a full ten Ancient Immortal [immortals who have survived for eons and weathered multiple heavenly tribulations], including one who had reached the formidable Ancient Immortal Realm of the Eighth Tribulation.

A single lineage boasting ten Ancient Immortal [powerful beings who have transcended mortality and cultivated for eons], dominating the pinnacle of the Vast Azure Immortal Domain for several Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles spanning billions of years]. The Primordial Solar Grotto-Heaven [a celestial realm of pure yang energy] had amassed a force of three hundred Celestial Immortal [immortals who have ascended to the celestial realm].

In that era, the Ancient Primordial Solar Grotto-Heaven stood as one of the supreme powers across the Three Thousand Immortal Domains, surpassed only by those legendary Great Encompassing Ancient Sect [sects whose influence and power encompass the very fabric of reality].

Yet, eighteen Kalpa Tribulation ago, in its ambition to ascend to a Great Encompassing Ancient Sect, the Ancient Primordial Solar Grotto-Heaven marshaled the full strength of its entire sect to aid the ancient Primordial Solar Patriarch in his perilous attempt to breach the Great Encompassing Realm [the ultimate realm of cultivation, representing mastery over all existence].

Had this endeavor succeeded, the Primordial Solar Grotto-Heaven would have become the first force in the history of the Vast Azure Immortal Domain to achieve such a monumental ascension.

Alas, in the final, cataclysmic battle, the Ancient Primordial Solar Grotto-Heaven was ultimately bested by a hair's breadth, falling to the hands of the Zhuyin Lineage [the lineage of the Candle Dragon, a primordial divine beast], one of the mighty Hundred Immortal Spirit Races [the one hundred most powerful clans of innate divine spirits].

The Zhuyin Lineage ranks seventh among the Hundred Immortal Spirit Races, its fortunes guarded by a Quasi-Sage Imperial Lord [an imperial lord on the very cusp of sagehood]. That the Ancient Primordial Solar Grotto-Heaven could contend with such a colossus, even with the covert support of the Human Race Immortal Court [the supreme governing body of human cultivators], speaks volumes of its truly Extraordinary nature.

Following that ancient defeat, the original sect was utterly extinguished. The present-day Primordial Solar Grotto-Heaven was later founded by descendants who inherited but a fragment of the fallen realm's legacy.

Even so, it managed to give birth to a figure like the Primordial Solar Patriarch, an Ancient Immortal Great Power [a venerable and immensely powerful ancient immortal], a testament to the profound depth of its remaining heritage.

Contemplating this, the Crimson Crow Holy Scion spoke, "A single Path Tribulation [a great calamity testing a cultivator's path], and this Chen Immortal Clan has already produced over ten individuals with a Triple Primordial Unity Foundation [a supreme cultivation foundation unifying spirit, energy, and essence]. Once they break through, that will be over ten Immaculate Celestial Immortal [flawless and pure celestial immortals]."

"With such Fortune [heaven-bestowed luck and destiny] and latent power, if we do not strangle them in their cradle, I fear they possess the potential for the entire clan to assault the Great Encompassing, becoming the next Ancient Primordial Solar Grotto-Heaven."
