Chapter 1695 : Ancient Pure Yang Grotto-Heaven

The Crimson Sun Saint fell silent for a long moment upon hearing his words.

A moment later, he drew a deep breath and declared, "Since Eldrin (Person Name) has resolved thus, Chiwu (Person Name) shall wish you mastery over the Primordial Golden Crow Physique—may it crush all foes and even dominate the impending Dao Tribulation."

As for Eldrin (Person Name) striving to establish the foundation of the 3 Taiyi, it was not only the Golden Crow clan that had laid plans.

At almost the same moment, reactions rippled through the 6 Eastern Celestial Domains, the 6 Western Celestial Domains, and the 7 Central Celestial Domains.

In the 6 Western Heavenly Domains, within the Ancient Realm of Frostsoul, the Frostsoul Divine Maiden received this intelligence and slowly opened her eyes.

Beside her, a goddess in cyan robes inquired softly, "Shall we intervene?"

The Ice Soul Goddess shook her head. After a long silence, she finally spoke, "The Abyssal Return Immortal Alliance is not weak. They possess over a dozen cultivators with Triple Primordial Unity foundations. Sending a handful of people would be futile."

"If we dispatch too many, I fear it would play right into the hands of Taiyang Wuji."

At this point, the Ice Soul Goddess's expression grew somber, revealing a look of profound apprehension.

The Azure-robed Goddess nearby also paled slightly upon hearing this. "Taiyang Wuji truly lives up to being the direct descendant of the Primordial Immortal Clan. He has likely ventured exceedingly far into the forbidden realm."

In the Taixu Heavenly Domain of the Eastern Polar 6 Heavens, Jiang Daoxu stood clad in a cyan robe, his expression turning profoundly grave as he scanned the intelligence in his hand. A heavy sigh escaped his lips as he uttered: "The Primordial Thunder Dragon, the Scarlet Calamity Imperial Scion, the Celestial Fox Clan of 9 Tails, the 5-Colored Immortal Phoenix."

"Amidst the rising powers across these 6 Eastern Heavenly Domains, my hands are already full. I can only do my utmost to hold back a few for you."

In the Central Heavenly Domain, within the Qingyang Divine Realm, a deity of peerless elegance opened their eyes, then slowly closed them once more.

With a cold snort, he slowly began to speak, "The Crowned Son of the Grand Emptiness, the Unfettered of the Great Zenith, the Imperial Scion of the Purple Subtlety."

"In this tribulation, the human race has already produced 3 Great Luo True Seeds, each capable of defeating and suppressing forbidden prodigies—all figures of the Dao Tribulation Protagonist caliber."

"Now with the addition of Daoist Guixu, wouldn't our human race claim nearly half of the providence in this upcoming Dao Tribulation?"

"The Twin Princes of Taicang are truly worthless, bringing shame to the prestige of the Great Vastness God-Emperor."

At this point, Crown Prince Qingyang slowly opened his eyes and finally spoke, "Since the Ancient Cangxu Clan has decided to follow us, let the Cangxu Grotto-Heaven make the journey this time."

As for Eldrin's (Person Name) recent breakthrough, various major powers in the outside world had already begun making plans. Even the previously defeated Twin Princes of Taicang, along with numerous other forces like the Golden Radiance Cave Heaven and White Tiger Cave Heaven that had suffered defeat in the past, were all growing restless and stirring into action.

Countless individuals sought to seize this opportunity to eliminate Eldrin, the protagonist of the human race's heavenly tribulation, during his critical breakthrough moment.

Meanwhile, within the 6 Western Celestial Domains, a world-shaking formation spanned across 5 realms, channeling the primordial qi of all 5 domains into the Sea of Returning Abyss.

Within the grand formation, 9 individuals took their positions: Lyra (Person Name), Qing Ji, Seraphina Qu (Person Name), Lila (Person Name), Yan Zi Ji, Chen Qiyuan, Chen Ethan (Person Name), Kael (Person Name), and Chen Xianqing. Each wielded a Primordial Treasure, channeling its power to reinforce the formation.

Beyond the grand formation, a distinguished assembly stood guard over his breakthrough: Elder Qing, Chen Xianzhang, Liuli Shenjun, Zixuan Daoren, Liyan Shenling, Luo Ming, Chunyang Shengzi, Changgeng Jianzi, and Fengyun Daozi.

Adding to this were the several newly ascended 3 Taiyi Foundation experts from the major factions over the past few 1000 years, bringing the total to a full 20-3 supreme prodigies of unparalleled combat prowess.

Such an astonishing power was a rare and formidable force even among the world's greatest heroes, easily ranking within the top 3. Only the Golden Crow lineage, which had unified the 6 Heavenly Domains of the Southern Peaks, could barely surpass it by half a measure.

Therefore, everyone was confident they could assist Eldrin in cultivating the foundation of the 3 Taiyi.

To return to our story, on this very day, the 5 Elements Grand Formation spanning the 5 domains in the Sea of Returning Abyss was pushed to its absolute limit.

Endless streams of the 5 Elements' primordial qi converged from the 5 Great Celestial Domains. Across the sky, 5-colored auroras spanned 3,000 celestial paths, all ultimately vanishing into the depths of the Sea of Returning Ruin before merging into a hazy silhouette of light.

At that very moment, 9 figures descended from beyond the heavens, treading upon the void. Their eyes swept coldly over the Abyssal Sea, glinting with lethal intent.

At the forefront stood a figure draped in crimson imperial robes, none other than the Crimson Crow Scion—the forbidden prodigy of the Golden Crow race.

At this moment, the Crimson Sun Saint hovered mid-air, his pupils contracting slightly as he observed the vigilant figures beyond the Sea of Returning Abyss. He murmured under his breath,

The Western Polar 6 Heavenly Domains were sparse in spiritual energy. In each Heavenly Tribulation, only 5 or 6 individuals with the 3 Primordial Unity Foundations would emerge—rarely did their numbers exceed 10.

"This time, however, we have the rare occurrence of over 20 individuals ascending with the Triple Eldrin Foundation—a phenomenon scarcely witnessed throughout the annals of history."

Beside the Red Crow Saint stood 8 individuals, each possessing the foundation of 3 Great Perfected Immortals, renowned across the realm. Among them were direct descendants from demonic clan cave heavens, as well as ancient lineage practitioners hailing from beyond the Vast Azure Immortal Domain.

They hailed from various races and were followers of the Divine Sun Saint, the protagonist of the Heavenly Tribulation—a relationship akin to how the Pure Yang Saint followed Eldrin (Person Name).

Hearing this, a direct descendant from a demon tribe grotto-heaven nodded slightly, his gaze profound as he remarked, "The last time the Western Polar 6 Heavenly Domains produced over 20 Triple Great Unity Foundations was more than 2 billion years ago."

In that era, the Primordial Pure Yang Grotto-Heaven arose, seizing fully 70 percent of the celestial fortune from the Vast Azure Immortal Domain. From this single sect alone emerged 18 flawless Celestial Immortals.

Hearing this, everyone's expressions shifted slightly.

The Primordial Pure Yang Grotto-Heaven was a mythical legend of the Vast Azure Immortal Realm. In its prime, the Pure Yang lineage boasted a full 10 Ancient Immortals, among them even 1 who had weathered the 8 Heavenly Tribulations.

A lineage of 10 Ancient Immortals, dominating the apex of the Qingcang Immortal Domain for several kalpas, had amassed a force of over 300 Celestial Immortals within the Pure Sun Grotto-Heaven.

In that era, the Primordial Pure Yang Grotto-Heaven stood as 1 of the most supreme powers across the 3 1000 Immortal Domains, second only to those Great Luo Ancient Sects.

Alas, 18 kalpas ago, the Primordial Pure Yang Cave Heaven, in its ambition to ascend as a Great Luo Ancient Sect, spared no effort in marshaling the entire sect's power to assist the Primordial Pure Yang Patriarch in his breakthrough to the Great Luo Realm.

If this endeavor succeeded, the Pure Sun Grotto would become the first Primordial Sect in the history of the Vast Azure Immortal Domain to achieve ascension.

Alas, in the final battle, the Primordial Pure Yang Cave Heaven ultimately fell just half a move short, defeated by the Candleflame lineage among the 100 Clans of Immortals.

The Candleflame lineage ranked seventh among the 100 Clans of Immortal Spirits, with even a Quasi-Sage Emperor suppressing their destiny. To contend against such a magnificent power—even with the covert support of the Human Race's Celestial Court—demonstrated just how extraordinary the Primordial Pure Yang Paradise truly was.

After the defeat in ancient times, the Primordial Pure Yang Grotto-Heaven was completely annihilated. The current Pure Yang Grotto-Heaven was established by descendants who inherited a portion of the legacy left by the primordial sect.

Even so, it had given rise to ancient immortals of great power like the Pure Yang Patriarch, a testament to its profound and unfathomable heritage.

With this thought in mind, the Crimson Sun Saint Son declared, "A single Dao Tribulation, and the Chen Immortal Clan has already produced a dozen or so 3 Taiyi Foundations. Once they break through, that will mean over a dozen flawless Celestial Immortals."

"With such fortune and foundation, if we don't strangle them in the cradle, I fear their entire clan might attempt the Great Perfection Ascension and become the next Primordial Pure Yang Paradise."
