Chapter 1630 : Lior (Person Name) the Taoist

At this point, the violet-robed Daoist shook his head.

Daoist Lior nodded upon hearing this, paying it no mind as he merely regarded it as a coincidence.

At that very moment, thousands of luminous streaks shot across the firmament in succession, each radiating an aura that made Lior (Person Name) tremble with terror.

Among them, a mere wisp of aura emanating from some figures gave the illusion of being capable of annihilating countless worlds, even suffocating him to the point of breathlessness. Upon the most majestic carriage, a Luan Bird (Divine Beast) pulling it resembled a primordial deity of creation, its wings unfurling with the power to split heaven and earth in a single beat.

With a single beat of its wings, it vanished into the distant horizon. "These people..."

When this Lior (Person Name) Taoist took a deep breath, he could not help but exclaim in utter astonishment.

Seeing this, the violet-robed immortal couldn't help but smile with a hint of pride. "Fellow Daoist, there's no need for concern. That is a supreme elder from the Violet Heaven Dao Palace, who shares a profound friendship with our Chen Clan's founding ancestor."

"Today, I have come to the Chen Clan to offer birthday felicitations to the Patriarch."

Lior (Person Name) straightened with reverence upon hearing this and inquired, "Might I ask which great power from your esteemed clan the Patriarch is?" "1 can hardly call him a great power yet."

The violet-robed Daoist shook his head and said, "However, our Chen Clan's Patriarch, Guixu Daoist (Person Name), has cultivated for merely 1 million years and has already reached the Great Perfection stage of the Earth Immortal realm."

"His innate talent and brilliance, even when viewed across the entire Vast Azure Immortal Realm, are a once-in-a-100-million-years, peerless..." "Hold on."

At that very moment, Daoist Lior (Person Name) interrupted him.

His expression turned exceedingly grave, brimming with astonishment as he spoke, "What you just said, Fellow Daoist—could it be that your esteemed clan's Patriarch's Daoist title is indeed Guixu?"

The violet-robed immortal was somewhat taken aback, yet replied, "Naturally so. Our patriarch's daoist title is Elder of the Returning Abyss (Cultivator). Could it be that you've heard of his illustrious name even in the lower realm?"

Elder Lior did not reply, instead speaking solemnly, "Might I inquire if your clan's motto remains: 'Pursuing the Dao for eternal verdance, honoring sages while emulating ancestors, supporting kin to uplift the lineage, ascending to immortality through unwavering perseverance'?"

"You actually know of this?"

The violet-robed immortal smiled faintly, then nodded. "It seems you are from the lower realm, most likely hailing from the Abyssal Return Realm." "But wait—if you truly are of the Abyssal Return lineage, why has no master, elder, or senior immortal come to receive you?"

Just as the violet-robed Daoist was feeling astonished, Lior (Person Name) took a deep breath and spoke: "If my deduction is correct, the Patriarch of the Returning Abyss belongs to the Nian generation, and his revered name is—Eldrin (Person Name)."

"Hmm."

Upon hearing this, the violet-robed Daoist's expression shifted almost imperceptibly.

Now, after 1 million years had passed, Eldrin had become an ancient legend in the lower realm.

Within the vast expanse of the Violet Realm, scarcely anyone remembered the name Eldrin anymore. Even among the Chen Immortal Clan, aside from that handful of individuals, few dared to speak his name directly.

The man before him, however, spoke of the revered title of Eldrin (Person Name) with such ease, completely catching him off guard. At this thought, the immortal in purple robes inquired, "Who exactly are you?"

Daoist Lior did not reply. He let out a sigh and said, "Take me to see Eldrin."

Lior traversed the vast expanse of the sea.

He gazed out into the distance, where the boundless sea stretched beyond sight.

9 Heavens Above (Time & Distance), where boundless starlight converged, dazzling as the Milky Way spanning the heavens. Across the endless azure seas, countless celestial islands adorned the expanse like stars scattered upon the waves. Between the surging tides, the ocean and sky mirrored each other in perfect harmony.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"

Between heaven and earth, streams of light streaked across the sky as thousands of immortals flew toward the heart of the sea.

The cultivation levels of these immortals were unfathomable. Even though he had now attained enlightenment and become an immortal, he remained insignificant compared to these individuals.

Some figures reclined atop immortal carriages, escorted by dozens or even hundreds of immortals. Yet the moment they set foot upon this sea, every last 1 of them advanced with faces full of profound reverence.

Surveying the vast expanse, countless cultivators and Dao soldiers patrolled the celestial seas. Clad in battle armor forged from immortal gold and wielding celestial halberds, each of their weapons would be considered peerless treasures unseen for a million years in the mortal realm.

At the edge of the celestial sea, countless immortal islands drifted amidst the void sky. Upon them, celestial palaces and divine pavilions stood in majestic disorder, as if carved from white jade and immortal marrow, radiating boundless grandeur. "On this day of celebration, mighty cultivators come to offer tribute, and 10 1000 immortals gather to pay homage."

"The Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) of this celestial realm has truly become remarkable," Lior (Person Name) murmured softly, a ripple of emotion stirring between his brows.

The scene before him today felt somewhat surreal, as he recalled how he had once seized a rare opportunity amidst the Netherworld, carrying his memories through a 100 cycles of reincarnation.

He had thought that achieving immortality this day would allow him to revisit the familiar scenes of Purple Vastness, yet upon first setting foot in the celestial realm, he beheld a monumental entity of the dao—vast and boundless beyond comprehension.

"Fellow Daoist, have you also come to present congratulatory gifts?"

At that very moment, an immortal flew over from the side.

She was a female immortal at the early Ascension Realm. Perhaps having rarely encountered another cultivator of equal standing, she instinctively drew closer.

After greeting Lior, she smiled gently and said, "I am Yang Lingxuan, an elder of the Lingxuan Immortal Sect, and 1 who has only recently ascended to immortality."

"She has some connections with the Floating Snow Pavilion, a blessed land under the Eldrin Immortal Alliance, which is how she managed to secure a rare opportunity to deliver a congratulatory gift." At this point, the female immortal at the early Ascension Realm revealed a faint smile.

Today, the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) reigns as the master of the 100 Seas of the Returning Abyss, while the Daoist of the Returning Abyss is acclaimed as the foremost prodigy of the Western Aether Divine Abyssal Sea.

If he could seize this opportunity to establish ties with the Chen Immortal Clan, he might gain their protection during the Heavenly Tribulation, thereby increasing his chances of successfully overcoming it.

At this thought, Yang Lingxuan smiled faintly and said, "I see your cultivation level isn't particularly high, Fellow Daoist. May I ask which path brought you here?" After a moment of contemplation, Lior replied, "I share some acquaintance with a few immortals from the Chen Clan." "You know immortals from the Chen Clan?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Lingxuan immediately regarded him with profound respect.

This time, the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) held the longevity banquet with great discretion, and the available slots were exceedingly scarce. It wasn't a matter of simply wanting to send gifts to gain entry. From what she knew of the Drifting Snow Palace (Organization), they too had only a handful of invitations. Without sufficient connections, many immortals who sought to purchase entry at exorbitant prices found it impossible to obtain. Even within the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) itself, ordinary immortals might not necessarily receive an invitation.

Those capable of issuing invitations were at the very least existences at the Great Perfection of Ascension.

Lior mentioned that he knew several such immortals, which immediately astonished her and sparked a desire to connect with them. Without delay, she struck up a conversation with him.

As the 2 conversed, they soon arrived before a celestial island.

Gazing upon the celestial island before her, the woman’s expression grew solemn as she said, “This place is the Ziwei Immortal Island, a realm of extraordinary prestige and 1 of the most renowned locations in the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea.”

"We hold the invitation and may ascend to the Violet Tenuity Immortal Island, yet though the isle abounds with celestial treasures and spiritual herbs, we cannot wander at will."

"Especially that Verdant Chariot Mountain (Location)—it serves as the ancestral sanctum of the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) in the immortal realm. Without explicit permission from the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization), even an Earth Immortal Patriarch would be instantly annihilated upon setting foot within its boundaries."

"You must be cautious, and remember to prioritize your safety above all else."

Yang Lingxuan was still speaking when she spotted an immortal flying toward them from afar, approaching with ethereal grace.

Yang Lingxuan’s expression shifted slightly as she immediately warned, “Be careful—that’s an Earth Immortal elder. Why would he come looking for us?” Just then, the man glanced at Lior (Person Name), his face turning exceptionally grave, and said:

"Are you perhaps the Daoist Lior (Person Name)?" "Indeed." Lior (Person Name) replied indifferently.

Yuansheng’s expression turned exceedingly grave. Though he had yet to confirm the other’s identity, the person before him was clearly someone of extraordinary status, and he dared not show the slightest negligence. Rising to his feet, he cupped his hands in a respectful salute and said, “Please follow me.”
