Chapter 1772 : Mystery of Ziyin

"Alas, Fellow Daoist Lingxu, Fellow Daoist Xinghai, and the others achieved the Dao relatively late, missing this heaven-defying opportunity to alter their destinies. It was only through Elder Tianya's guidance that they attained their present accomplishments."

Hearing this, Eldrin finally understood that the Celestial Maiden and others of the past had merely attained a singular Path to Immortality. Theoretically, reaching the Earth Immortal realm marked the absolute limit of their cultivation.

The reason he had cultivated to this day was all thanks to the grand formation laid down by Eldrin in the past, which defied the natural order to alter the destinies of countless friends and comrades.

With a single breath, he reforged the foundations of 3,000 Primordial Divine Beings. Such astonishing methods left Eldrin utterly astounded.

He took a deep breath and couldn't help but remark, "Since innate divinity signifies the potential of a Great Luo, with such capabilities, Senior Zi must be a peerless figure even among the Great Luo realm."

The Celestial Maiden nodded, her gaze tinged with nostalgia as she said, "Elder Zi was born embracing the Chaos Cauldron. That cauldron ranks first on the Chaos Roll of Honor across the 3 1000 Immortal Domains and is the sole Chaos Supreme Treasure in all these realms."

"Senior Zi possesses such a fortuitous encounter, born with boundless chaotic fortune. His methods likely rival even those of the Dao Ancestors and Immortal Sages."

Eldrin's gaze grew subtly more intense upon hearing this.

For the first time encountering someone who had dealings with the Violet Immortal Lord, Eldrin couldn't help but feel a flicker of curiosity.

He couldn't help but glance at the Celestial Maiden and asked involuntarily, "To think it can reshape 1's constitution into that of an innate divine being and rank first on the Chaos Treasure Roll of the 3 1000 Immortal Domains—what kind of inconceivable treasure is this Chaos Cauldron?"

"I do not know either."

The Celestial Maiden shook her head. Her cultivation realm was insufficient, and she clearly had little understanding of this matter.

However, after a moment of contemplation, the Celestial Maiden hesitantly remarked, "I once heard a rumor that even among Chaos Spiritual Treasures, there exists a hierarchy—they are further classified into high-grade, mid-grade, and low-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasures."

Yet that Chaos Cauldron stood apart from these 3 grades, much like an Ancient Treasure among Innate Treasures. It transcended even top-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasures, being a true Chaos Supreme Treasure—half a step into the realm of the indescribable.

At this point, the Celestial Maiden shook her head and said, "Of course, Chaos-grade treasures are the life-bound artifacts of Dao Ancestors and Immortal Sages. Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal might not lay eyes on 1 in their entire existence."

"I've only heard it through the grapevine, so this rumor may not be true."

Boom—

Upon hearing this, Eldrin felt as though a colossal bell had exploded within his mind, leaving him utterly speechless with an indescribable shock.

If all of this were true, then he could largely comprehend the reason behind Immortal Violet's failure in attaining the Dao.

If the Chaos Cauldron truly was a Chaos Supreme Treasure, then it would likely rank among the most peerless treasures even within the boundless chaos.

This is far too precious, enough to drive even Dao Ancestors and Immortal Sages to madness.

Across the vast expanse of 3 1000 immortal domains, the 7 Chaos-level existences—encompassing the Divine Sovereigns, Celestial Emperors, and Dao Ancestors of the human, demon, and god races—likely possess fewer than 10 Chaos Spiritual Treasures combined in their hands.

Suddenly, a Chaos Supreme Treasure appeared, 1 that would likely make even the Primordial Divine Emperor—nay, even the Solar Celestial Emperor—covet it.

Even Eldrin suspected that the fall of the Violet Immortal Lord might have involved the intervention of supreme beings from beyond the 3 1000 Immortal Domains.

Even with the Chaos Cauldron borne upon his back at birth and the indescribable great fortune he carried by nature, the Violet Immortal Sovereign could not deter others from making their move.

As expected, when the Violet Immortal Sovereign embarked on the path of enlightenment, it was inevitable that more than 1 Chaos-level supreme expert would strike, joining forces to strangle this nascent threat in its cradle.

"That Purple Immortal Lord, his rise was far too swift."

In just a few million years, he rose like a comet, dazzling an entire era, only to vanish like a shooting star in the river of time.

"Why doesn't he keep a lower profile, accumulating strength over several kalpas before breaking through unnoticed?"

Eldrin murmured inwardly, sensing something amiss in the Purple Sovereign's unnaturally rapid ascent.

Although the Chaos Cauldron enabled an astonishingly swift ascent, it also drew far too much attention.

Had He remained more low-key and refrained from such astonishing displays, perhaps He would not have met such a terrifying end.

However, such individuals who have cultivated to the Great Perfection Realm could never be fools. There must be a profound reason behind his actions, though the truth remains unknown to Eldrin.

"If 1 day I attain the pinnacle of cultivation as a Dao Ancestor or Celestial Sage, I shall surely uncover what schemes this Elder Zi has been weaving."

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured inwardly. Regarding this Lord Violet Immortal, he felt both unfamiliar and intimately acquainted—a vague intuition whispering that this figure was inextricably intertwined with his own existence.

"Enough."

Lost in thought, Eldrin still couldn't fathom Violet Sovereign's intentions, so he ceased pondering further.

After spending some time exchanging insights with fellow cultivators from the Endless Sky Pavilion, he quietly awaited the sect master's emergence from secluded cultivation.

The master of the Endless Sky Pavilion’s calculations were remarkably accurate. When he predicted a recovery within several 100 years, he meant precisely that. Merely 3 centuries later, he emerged from seclusion, having fully restored all his injuries.

Seeing his breathing had stabilized, Eldrin couldn't help but smile faintly. "It seems your injuries have recovered, Senior?"

"Hmm, all thanks to your Innate Spiritual Water."

The Lord of the Skyreach Pavilion smiled. With a flick of his sleeve, he ascended to the pinnacle of the pavilion and gazed upon the vast expanse of the Chaos Border. "My injuries have fully healed," he declared, "and it is time to settle scores with those old villains."

"Oh?"

Eldrin (Person Name) could not help but ask, "Earlier, Senior mentioned being severely wounded by a surprise attack. Are you now planning to seek vengeance?"

"Hmm."

The master of the Endless Sky Pavilion nodded, his gaze grave as he said, "Long ago, within the primordial chaos, I discovered a Chaos Nest, within which a Chaos Pool is suspected to remain."

"Everything was going smoothly in my battle against the Chaos Ancient Beast, but I never expected to be ambushed by several Celestial Immortals from beyond the heavens."

At this point, the master of Horizon's End Pavilion spoke with murderous intensity flashing in his eyes: "Now that my injuries have healed, it's time to seek retribution."

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this and said, "How formidable are those few individuals?"

1 Celestial Immortal at the eighth level, 4 at the seventh level, and a single ninth-grade supreme Chaos Ancient Vessel.

The master of the Endless Sky Pavilion murmured, his expression growing quite solemn.

Hearing this, the Celestial Maiden’s gaze turned frosty as she said, “Dealing with 5 opponents joining forces, along with a Chaos Ancient Vessel of the highest ninth rank, is not something to be taken lightly.”

"Worry not," the Master of the Endless Sky Pavilion said with a faint smile. "Within that primordial chaos beast clan, there exists a single peak ninth-tier and over a dozen mid-to-low ninth-tier Chaos Dragonwolves. They are no easy adversaries."

"The battle between them will likely take tens of thousands of years to conclude. By then, if we launch a surprise attack, we should have a chance at victory."

At this point, the master of Horizon's End Pavilion turned his gaze toward Eldrin.

He knew clearly in his heart that the combat prowess Eldrin had displayed earlier could likely rival 2 or 3 seventh-level Celestial Immortals joining forces—a rare and invaluable ally.

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) also spoke up, "In that case, let us prepare to make our move."
