Chapter 1605 : Gathering 5 Blessings

She knew in her heart that with the Taiyi Golden Body Elixir (Divine Pill), the 3 maidens of the sun, moon, and stars truly had hope of reaching the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm. Should their tribulations and opportunities align, they might even glimpse the genuine possibility of attaining full Celestial Immortality.

At this thought, Eldrin smiled faintly and said, "This Master of the Returning Abyss possesses noble character and shows great care toward those around him. He would indeed make a worthy match."

"Divine Sovereign..."

Upon hearing this, the 3 women were momentarily taken aback. Star Maiden’s cheeks flushed slightly as she replied.

Riyue, however, remained calm and shook her head. "Given our potential and strength, I'm afraid we are unworthy of him."

Elder Glaze also nodded, then spoke, "This individual possesses the makings of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Unless you truly step into the Celestial Immortal Realm, you are indeed far from matching him."

Yueji, who had remained silent all along, murmured thoughtfully, "A Celestial Immortal?"

Eldrin departed from the Glazed Paradise, gazing at the 3 Yin-Yang Dao-Comprehending Pills in his hand as he fell into contemplative silence.

After a moment of contemplation, he ultimately visited the Flowing Fire Blessed Land and the Violet Heaven Dao Palace in succession.

He gave the remaining Great Unity Golden Body Pill to the Eldrin, and 1 Yin-Yang Dao-Comprehending Pill (Spiritual Object) to the Violet Mystic Daoist.

These 2 individuals possessed considerable resources and did not owe Eldrin anything. They directly exchanged 2 supreme Chaos Treasures for the immortal elixir.

The 2 pieces of primordial treasures obtained through exchange were useless to Eldrin, yet they could be used by Lyra and others to refine their Lifebound Immortal Treasures—a rare and valuable gain in its own right.

After delivering the gifts to both locations, Eldrin diverted his path to the Netherworld. He first presented the Primordial Nether Crystal and a Yin-Yang Dao-Comprehending Pill to Ancestor Qing, then proceeded to the Ruined Ghost City.

After so many years apart, the Old Ruins Ghost City remained exceptionally low-key, far less prosperous than the Cyan Ghost City.

However, when Eldrin saw the Lord of the Ancient Ruins again, he discovered that the Lord had already cultivated the Taiyi Immortal Body and stepped into the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm.

It was evident that the Old Ruins Yin Lord, who had reversed his Pure Yang body, surpassed the Abyssal Daoist in both foundational depth and methods.

Eldrin even had a feeling that with the methods and power of someone like the Old Ruins Yin Lord, even without his assistance, they would likely become a supreme Netherworld Great 1 of the Qingcang Immortal Domain in the future.

The Realm of the Netherworld Celestial Immortal might not be the ultimate end of his path of cultivation.

"Fellow Daoist Jiuxu has already cultivated the Taiyi Golden Body. It seems the consolidation of dual Taiyi foundations is not far off."

In the rear courtyard of the Ancient Ruins Hall, Eldrin sat facing the Nether Lord of Ancient Ruins and could not help but remark with profound emotion.

The Lord of the Ancient Ruins smiled faintly as he calmly brewed a pot of tea for Eldrin. "For cultivators like us," he began, "fortune and opportunity are what truly matter."

"In my millions of years before life and after death, I have always lived an unremarkable existence. Had it not been for the modest gains in my inner cosmos, I could never have achieved what I have today."

"A fine tea." Eldrin took a delicate sip and praised before continuing, "For this upcoming Dao Tribulation, I'm afraid I must request your assistance, fellow Daoist."

The Ancient Ruins Yin Sovereign spoke calmly, a faint smile gracing his lips. "We merely aid each other to transcend the heavenly tribulation together. Why speak of who assists whom?"

Eldrin gave a slight nod and said nothing more.

He produced the Yin Yang Dao-Comprehending Pill (Spiritual Object) and remarked, "With this treasure, Fellow Daoist, are you confident in breaking through the dual Taiyi foundations?"

"This elixir..."

The Lord of the Ancient Ruins was momentarily taken aback before accepting the Yin-Yang Dao-Comprehending Pill (Spiritual Object). "With this treasure and the preparations I’ve made over the years," he said, "I am 80 percent confident in achieving a breakthrough to establish dual Taiyi foundations."

"However, this treasure is exceedingly rare, and I possess no suitable Yang Realm artifacts to exchange with you."

Seeing this, Eldrin said with a light laugh, "There’s no need to rush. When the time of the Dao Tribulation comes, we shall fight side by side. From what we gain, you may give me something of equal worth."

"Very well."

The Ancient Ruins Yin Sovereign did not decline. As a Half-Step Celestial Immortal powerhouse, he possessed enough confidence to repay this karmic debt, carrying himself with even greater composure than the Abyssal Daoist.

Eldrin departed from the ancient ghost city and soon returned to the sanctuary of the Returning Abyss.

He handed the 2 supreme Chaos Treasures to Lyra (Person Name), then summoned Yan Zijie, Seraphina Qu (Person Name), Qing Ji, and Lila (Person Name) to gather within the mountain abode.

"This time, I shall venture into the 3 great forbidden lands for cultivation. To ensure no disruptions during my absence, I have already made arrangements with my esteemed allies: the Glazed Pure Land (Realm), the Violet Heaven Dao Palace (Sect), the Li Flame Divine Spirit (Deity), the Abyssal Daoist (Cultivator), and the Ancient Ruins Yin Lord (Nether Being)."

"If the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) were truly to encounter trouble, these forces would surely not stand idly by."

Eldrin (Person Name) spoke slowly, giving instructions about matters to be handled after his departure.

Hearing this, Lyra (Person Name) and the other 4 women felt their hearts grow heavy. After all, forbidden lands within the Qingcang Immortal Domain were invariably places of extreme peril.

In the past, Eldrin had managed to trap and slay a Half-Step Celestial Immortal expert merely at the periphery of the Myriad Crows Restricted Zone, a testament to the sheer peril of such forbidden realms.

More importantly, this time Eldrin intended to venture deep into the forbidden zone, harnessing its boundless destructive power to cultivate the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body. It was evident this process would be fraught with extreme peril.

Even with the innate Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void (Magic Treasure), whether Eldrin (Person Name) could return alive remained an uncertainty.

At this thought, Qing Ji and the others grew even more troubled. Seeing that Eldrin, before his departure, still made a point of personally visiting several close friends to pave the way for his clan in advance—preparing for any unforeseen circumstances—only deepened their apprehension.

Yan Ziqi furrowed her brow with concern and couldn’t help saying, “Is this journey truly necessary?”

"In matters concerning the Great Dao, how can 1 retreat?"

Eldrin smiled faintly as he spoke, then added, "Given the resilience of my Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body, within the entire Vastheavens Immortal Realm, aside from those blessed grottos, only these forbidden lands possess the environment required to cultivate it to perfection."

Hearing this, the women also let out soft sighs.

They knew in their hearts that the path of the Great Dao was 1 of no return. If they retreated even a single step today, no amount of sacrifice—not even a thousandfold—could ever make up for it in the days to come.

Eldrin understood the women's concerns and immediately reassured them, "Do not worry. With the methods I now possess, is there any place under heaven I cannot go?"

"What if it is a forbidden realm of the immortal domain? What fails to kill me shall only make me stronger."

With those final words, Eldrin said no more.

He handed over all remaining items on his person to Lyra and the others, keeping only the Yin-Yang Union Gourd, the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void, the Howling Wind God-Slaying Calabash, along with his life-bound treasure. Aside from these, Eldrin carried only a few elixirs for restoring spiritual power.

Furthermore, Eldrin entrusted Lyra with the Human Emperor Sword, the Great Monad Fine Gold War Halberd, and the innate treasure—the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Vase.

Now, every innate divine ability of Eldrin had reached a profoundly mysterious realm, and the power unleashed by any 1 of them could rival that of a Taiyi immortal weapon.

If even 3 Innate Treasures and innate supernatural powers were insufficient for self-preservation, these 2 Taiyi Immortal Weapons would be of little additional use.

Eldrin distributed the remaining treasures among the women and prepared to take his leave. However, before his departure, Lyra pulled him back.

"What's wrong?"

Eldrin was somewhat taken aback, only to find Lyra gazing at him with profound intensity.

Beside them, a delicate blush graced the exquisite faces of Seraphina Qu (Person Name), Verdant Princess, Violet Banquet Princess, and Lila (Person Name).

"Didn't you say you always wanted to enjoy the bliss of having 2 wives?"

"Today, I shall grant you the convergence of 5 blessings, that you may taste the ultimate bliss of this mortal realm."
