Chapter 1735 : Convergence at the Chaos Abyss

Eldrin Chen understood clearly that the authority over the Heavenly Path Source Artifact would ultimately be decided by force, settled through a contest of strength.

Therefore, he sent word back to the two great Grotto-Heaven, informing them that he would soon personally lead his people to the Chaos Abyssal Chasm.

Shortly after the message was sent, Eldrin Chen once again summoned the various Celestial Immortal Great Power of the Returning Abyss Immortal Alliance. Leaving only Violet Consort Yan and Lila to guard the Nine Great Grotto-Heavens, he led all the others towards the Chaos Abyssal Chasm.

The Chaos Abyssal Chasm within the Western Essence Divine Abyss Sea is located at the very Central heart of that sea, at the end of a boundless abyss.

This sea region is named the Abyssal Cavern Sea Region. Situated at the very Central core of the Thirty-Three Layers Sea Region, it has always been a Forbidden Land of the Western Essence Divine Abyss Sea, jointly controlled by the Western Essence Grotto-Heaven and the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven.

As the site of the Chaos Abyssal Chasm, the two great Grotto-Heaven place extreme importance on this place.

They have stationed millions of Path Soldiers and Divine Generals here, with three Celestial Immortal Great Power permanently guarding the location.

"So this is the Abyssal Cavern Sea Region?"

Beyond the Abyssal Cavern Sea Region, immortal carriages traversed the skies and divine avians beat their wings, carrying a group of Nine Heavens Celestial Immortal Deities who tore through the void to arrive.

This group of Nine Heavens Celestial Immortal Deities numbered little more than twenty, yet each possessed an aura of supreme majesty, their forms shrouded in Innate Energy [the primordial, untainted energy of creation]. They were the Celestial Immortal Great Power who commanded awe throughout the Immortal Domain—the very grand powers of the Returning Abyss Immortal Alliance. Published by audio–novel.com.

Standing at the forefront, Eldrin Chen gazed upon the Abyssal Cavern Sea Region before him and could not help but speak.

"The concentration of Immortal Spirit Essence [the refined energy that nourishes immortal cultivation] here is astonishing."

It was not that Eldrin Chen lacked experience; rather, the density of Immortal Spirit Essence within this Abyssal Cavern Sea Region was simply overwhelming.

The Immortal Spirit Essence in these waters was dozens of times richer than that of the Hundred Seas of Returning Abyss, truly worthy of being called an immortal's paradise.

One must understand that the current Hundred Seas of Returning Abyss, influenced by the Nine Great Grotto-Heavens [nine legendary pocket realms of immense spiritual power], already possessed Immortal Spirit Essence far denser than ordinary seas, making it a treasured land for the Immortal Path.

Yet within this Abyssal Cavern Sea Region, the concentration of Immortal Spirit Essence was even more staggering. Even the smallest isle had coalesced its own Immortal Vein [a subterranean current of concentrated immortal-grade spiritual energy].

And the deeper one ventured into the Abyssal Cavern Sea Region, the more one could see clusters of Blessed Land [realms of exceptional spiritual fortune and natural harmony] gathering.

The Abyssal Cavern Sea Region was not vast, being only the size of Eldrin Chen's home base, the Returning Abyss Sea Region. Yet, with a single glance, Eldrin Chen perceived at least tens of thousands of Immortal Isles [islands imbued with immortal-grade spiritual energy], and the number of Blessed Land exceeded three thousand.

"Immortal Isles carpet the land, Blessed Land are scattered everywhere. This Abyssal Cavern Sea Region truly lives up to being the location of the Chaos Abyssal Chasm [a primordial rift leading to realms of chaos]."

Sensing such profound and potent Immortal Spirit Essence, Exquisite Jiang also could not help but voice her admiration.

Beside him, Diyang Tai Cang, who knew more, looked at Eldrin Chen and said, "The location of the Chaos Abyssal Chasm is the place where the Immortal Spirit Essence [the highest grade of spiritual energy for cultivation] is most concentrated."

"If one could fully grasp the Heavenly Path Authority [the authority to control the natural laws of a region] of the Western Essence Divine Abyss Sea, then establishing a Grotto-Heaven [a blessed pocket dimension for cultivation] there and merging three Upper Grade Grotto-Heaven [high-grade blessed pocket dimensions] into it should be able to create a Supreme Grade Grotto-Heaven [the highest grade of blessed pocket dimension]."

"A Supreme Grade Grotto-Heaven?"

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen felt a slight stir in his heart.

Seeing this, Diyang Tai Cang nodded and continued, "In theory, the Chaos Abyssal Chasm within each Heavenly Domain [a major celestial region] is capable of Creation [the act of world-creation or supreme forging] a Supreme Grade Grotto-Heaven. However, this requires hundreds of millions of years and an incalculable amount of resources."

"Directly merging three Upper Grade Grotto-Heaven can greatly accelerate this process."

By now, Eldrin Chen largely understood what Diyang Tai Cang was implying.

Currently, the Chen Immortal Clan possessed two major Grotto-Heaven: the Returning Abyss Grotto-Heaven and the Stellar Grotto-Heaven. If they could obtain another Upper Grade Grotto-Heaven and merge it in, they could Creation a Supreme Grade Grotto-Heaven.

And within the Western Essence Divine Abyss Sea, the two Grotto-Heaven of Western Essence and Divine Abyss were both Upper Grade Grotto-Heaven that had been nurtured for countless years.

"It seems a final confrontation with the two great Grotto-Heaven of Western Essence and Divine Abyss is inevitable."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, then instantly suppressed the thought.

For the current Returning Abyss Immortal Alliance had no need for a Supreme Grade Grotto-Heaven [a top-tier pocket dimension realm], and secondly, the Returning Abyss Immortal Alliance lacked the confidence to subdue two such Grotto-Heaven [pocket dimension realms] simultaneously.

With this thought settled, Eldrin Chen waved his hand dismissively. The dazzling Blazing Phoenix beneath his feet beat its wings, cleaving through the air as it carried him into the depths of the Abyssal Cavern Sea Region.

"The Forbidden Land of the Cavernous Abyss. Halt, traveler."

The moment Eldrin Chen stepped into this place, a World-Illuminating Immortal Light [a divine radiance capable of illuminating the world] blossomed from the heart of the Abyssal Cavern Sea Region.

Eldrin Chen looked up to see a curtain of celestial light spreading out, enveloping the Abyssal Cavern Sea Region like an inverted bowl of Glazed. Original publication: audio-novel[dot]com - The source of this chapter.

Immediately after, three figures of blinding radiance emerged from the depths of the Abyssal Cavern Sea Region.

Among these three figures were two men and one woman. The leading man was clad in armor that shimmered with the aura of a Divine Spirits [a powerful spiritual entity].

Of the man and woman, the man held an Innate [a primordial, heaven-born grade] Violet Lightning Sword, while the woman at the rear grasped an Innate Verdant Frost Sword.

The man now soaring through the air looked at Eldrin Chen and spoke, "Are you, traveler, Fellow Cultivator Eldrin?"

Eldrin Chen did not answer directly. Instead, he swept his gaze over the group, his expression calm as he spoke. "The Vast Sea Divine Armor and the Violet Lightning and Verdant Frost Swords [a pair of legendary swords wielded by a famous couple of cultivators]."

"I presume the esteemed individuals before me are the Vast Sea Heavenly God from the Western Essence Grotto-Heaven, and the two fellow Daoists, the Violet and Azure Sword Immortals from the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven?"

The companions beside Eldrin Chen listened to his words, their expressions remaining utterly composed.

The Western Essence Grotto-Heaven and the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven, as the twin overlords of the Western Essence Divine Abyss Sea, each boasted seven or eight Celestial Immortal Great Power [powerful cultivators who have ascended to the Celestial Immortal realm].

Among them, the Western Essence Grotto-Heaven had eight, and the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven had seven. However, during the Path Tribulation [a great cosmic calamity], Eldrin Chen had slain the Wei River Heavenly God from the Western Essence Grotto-Heaven and the Heaven Star Celestial Immortal from the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven, diminishing the foundational strength of both great Grotto-Heaven [a blessed realm and cultivation sanctuary].

Within the current Western Essence Grotto-Heaven, seven Heavenly God [a title for powerful Celestial Immortals] remained: Western Essence, Western Mystery, Vast Sea, Netherwater, Azure Frost, Wind Void, and Profound Water.

Within the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven, six Celestial Immortal remained, who were also titled Heavenly God: Divine Abyss, Golden Flame, Abyss Halting Path Master, Verdant Daylily, Violet Lightning, and Verdant Frost.

Among the Western Essence Grotto-Heaven, there were three Immaculate Celestial Immortal [Celestial Immortals who have purified their foundation to perfection]: Western Essence, Vast Sea, and Netherwater. The Vast Sea present here was the second most powerful figure in the Western Essence Grotto-Heaven, an Immaculate Celestial Immortal whose cultivation had reached the fifth level of the Celestial Immortal realm.

Within the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven, there were also three Immaculate Celestial Immortal: the Divine Abyss Path Master, the Golden Flame Patriarch, and that Abyss Halting Path Master.

The Violet Lightning and Verdant Frost present were a Daoist couple. They had attained their Dao [reached the Celestial Immortal realm] for sixty million years, yet their cultivation had remained stagnant, trapped at the Third Heaven Celestial Immortal Realm without the slightest advancement.

Although the combined might of the two Violet Lightning and Verdant Frost could unleash combat power rivaling the Mid Celestial Immortal Realm, the immortals of the Returning Abyss Immortal Alliance harbored not a shred of fear.

After all, within the current Returning Abyss Immortal Alliance were Immaculate Celestial Immortal [Celestial Immortals who have achieved a flawless, perfected state] of exceptional talent, each possessing unfathomably profound strength.

Now, witnessing the arrival of the Returning Abyss Immortal Alliance immortals at their gates, the complexions of the three Heavenly God [a powerful divine being] Celestial Immortal [an immortal who has ascended to the celestial realm] shifted slightly.

The Violet Lightning Path Master drew a deep breath and spoke, "Fellow Daoists, what brings you to our doorstep today?"

Eldrin Chen replied with calm composure, "I sent a missive in advance, clearly stating my purpose was the Chaos Abyssal Chasm. Why feign ignorance?"

Upon hearing this, Vast Sea Heavenly God's expression tightened. The three of them had indeed received the message, but relinquishing authority over the Heavenly Path Source Artifact [a primordial artifact embodying the source power of the Heavenly Path] was something they were utterly unwilling to do.

Thus, Vast Sea Heavenly God inhaled deeply once more and stated, "This matter is of grave importance. We ask that you, fellow Daoists, wait until the two Patriarch from Western Essence and Divine Abyss arrive to discuss it further." Read, share, and discuss at audio–novel.com.
