Chapter 1744 : Self-Created Sword Art

Having obtained 60 percent of the authority over the Heaven's Dao Primordial Artifact, Eldrin immediately grasped control over more than half of the Chaos Abyss.

He mobilized the Chaos Ancient Abyss, dividing the transformed immortal spiritual energy into 1 100 portions. From then on, the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea would receive 1-tenth, while the remaining 9-tenths would be distributed among the 3 factions.

Of the remaining 90 percent of immortal spiritual energy, the 9 great cave heavens of the Guixu Immortal Alliance claimed 60 percent, while the remaining 40 percent was equally divided among the 3 major cave heavens.

Moreover, the colossal Immortal Origin Vein produced here was precisely what Eldrin had coveted for ages.

After observing for a long while, Eldrin finally took a deep breath and said, "To unleash the full potential of this Heavenly Dao Artifact, it requires 9 Celestial Immortals to channel their power while stationed within it."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions shifted subtly.

The Violet and Azure Sword Immortals exchanged a glance, before the Violet Lightning Sword Immortal spoke: "The Heaven’s Dao Source Artifact requires 9 Celestial Immortals to activate. However, our Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven can dispatch 2 Celestial Immortals to take shifts guarding it."

The Vastsea Celestial God also looked rather solemn and promptly declared, "Our Western Qi Grotto-Heaven can also dispatch 2 experts who have been stationed here for years."

Eldrin heard the words, yet offered no reply.

Seeing this, Chen Qiyuan spoke up, "Let our Void Return Immortal Alliance take 6 of these 9 slots."

"You..."

The Heavenly God of the Vast Sea's expression shifted slightly, a flicker of irritation crossing his face.

You must understand, the opportunity to guard the Chaos Abyss is no trivial matter. This abyss connects directly to the primordial chaos, where 1 can frequently discover all manner of Chaos Divine Materials.

These Chaos Divine Materials are typically offered as additional benefits for Guardian Celestials, representing a considerable fortune.

Moreover, within the Primordial Chaos Abyss, the immortal spiritual energy was vast and mighty. Its cultivation environment rivaled even that of a supreme-grade cave heaven, making it an exceptional sanctuary for practice.

此外，加持天道源器转化仙灵之气，本就是功德无量的事情，一般来说一位天仙大能只需要在混沌古渊之中镇守千万年，就能够凝聚出一道功德紫光。

It can be said that every Celestial Immortal powerhouse has contributed merits to heaven and earth within the immortal realm.

Precisely because of this, the 2 great grotto-heavens naturally coveted this allocation. Yet just as the Vastsea Celestial Sovereign was about to speak, Eldrin had already voiced his claim.

He cast a glance at the Vastsea Celestial Divinity and spoke calmly, "Let this matter be settled thus."

As Eldrin spoke, the several Celestial Immortals from the 2 great grotto-heavens slightly changed their expressions. With the absence of the Western Qi and Divine Abyss Celestial Immortals, Eldrin already stood as a singular existence beyond comparison.

Even though they were esteemed Heavenly Immortals, they had no choice but to concede a step.

Seeing that no 1 spoke, Eldrin led the Alliance of Immortals into a palace just beyond the Chaos Abyss.

Within the grand hall, Eldrin gazed upon the assembly of the Immortal Alliance and declared, "The amount of immortal spiritual energy converted by the Chaotic Abyss depends on the number of Heavenly Immortal powerhouses."

"Our Return-to-Void Immortal Alliance, together with the 10 1000 Spirits Ancestor, comprises a total of 30 Heavenly Immortals. Henceforth, we shall take turns standing guard at this location."

Everyone nodded slightly upon hearing this.

The master of the Dao Palace smiled faintly, stroking his beard as he remarked, "Within our Return-to-Emptiness Immortal Alliance, there are precisely 30 Heavenly Immortal Elders. They may be divided into 6 groups to take shifts guarding this place."

Seeing this, Eldrin spoke calmly, "From now on, the Chaos Abyss will rotate its guardianship every 1,000,000 years. Those willing to stand guard here shall receive an additional stipend from the Immortal Alliance."

"Furthermore, the colossal immortal source mineral veins of the Chaotic Abyss, along with various immortal island blessed land enterprises, have all been reclaimed by the Immortal Alliance as their assets."

At these words, everyone's faces lit up with joy.

As a Celestial Immortal powerhouse, everyone present had received a share of the Immortal Alliance's stock. With the Alliance acquiring so many new enterprises, their cultivation resources would become considerably more abundant in the days to come.

The members of the Chen Immortal Clan also wore smiles. As the core lineage of the Returning Abyss Immortal Alliance, the Chen Immortal Clan held the majority of authority within the alliance, and thus naturally claimed the lion's share of these resources.

Especially that colossal Immortal Source Vein, after Eldrin (Person Name) repeatedly examined it, he discovered that the Immortal Source within this massive vein was perpetually evolving day by day.

If 9 Celestial Immortals jointly operate the Heavenly Dao Source Artifact, it would yield over 200,000,000 Immortal Essence Crystals every 10 1000 years thereafter.

This batch of Immortal Origin was distributed among 3 major factions and over 40 Celestial Immortals, with each individual receiving approximately 5,000,000 to 6,000,000 units.

It might seem like this amount of Immortal Origin was modest, but on a scale of tens of millions of years, each Heavenly Tribulation enabled him to generate over hundreds of billions of Immortal Origin.

The portion allocated to the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) alone amounted to over 1 100 billion Immortal Sources.

With this influx of Immortal Source and the Primordial Vessel of Cosmic Qi, Eldrin's cultivation was poised to advance by leaps and bounds.

"10 million years is far too long, but even just the over 1 100 million Immortal Sources allocated to the Immortal Alliance every 10 1000 years are of considerable use to me."

Even if the Primordial Ancient Trees faced arduous ascension and required the consumption of greater amounts of Primordial Spirit Water, within no more than 1 million years, the 20-4 Primordial Ancient Trees of the Returning Abyss Heaven would undoubtedly grow to the limits of low-grade Primordial Ancient Trees.

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured inwardly, a flicker of joy already stirring within him.

At this thought, Eldrin ultimately left Lin Tianqi, the Palace Master of the Dao Palace, Patriarch Zi Xuan, Chen Qiyuan, Chen Ethan, and Patriarch Tian Yuan to temporarily guard this place.

After arranging this matter, Eldrin did not linger any longer. Having just ascended to the Celestial Immortal realm, he had yet to fully digest his gains. Now was the time to retreat into secluded cultivation for a period.

Returning to the Sea of Returning Abyss, Eldrin spent several intimate days with Lyra and the others before retreating once more to the Returning Abyss Grotto-Heaven. There, he began methodically organizing his gains.

That day, he sat cross-legged atop a nameless desolate island, gazing calmly at the surging tides and shifting clouds over the vast sea as he sank into deep contemplation.

His physical body, primordial spirit, and Dao Fruit had all reached a state of flawless perfection, making further advancement impossible in the short term. Yet, countless paths still lay ahead, waiting to be traversed.

In this battle, Eldrin managed to defeat Daoist Shenyuan largely by catching him off guard. Had they fought again, Daoist Shenyuan—with the Myriad Abyss Ancient Cauldron hovering above his head—would have already been in an invincible position.

"With my current foundation, I am still incapable of possessing combat strength sufficient to suppress a Seventh-Level Celestial Immortal."

Within a million years, should 1 seek to advance further and possess the means to suppress and slay late-stage Celestial Immortals, only 3 methods remain to bridge the gap.

"First, I must create a set of sword techniques to enhance the power of the Sky-Severing Twin Swords and the Taiyi Void-Spanning Sword Qi."

Second, by advancing to the innate Wind-Gale Gourd Vine and obtaining a mid-grade innate Wind-Gale Gourd Vine, the God-Slaying Flying Blade would inevitably see its power surge dramatically, gaining the ability to threaten those at the seventh level of the Celestial Immortal realm.

"Third, using the 5 innate immortal treasures as foundation, create a peerless killing formation."

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured inwardly, carefully contemplating the path he would tread from this moment onward.

After some rough calculations, clarity dawned within him—among these 3 methods, the second was undoubtedly the simplest.
