Chapter 1930 : Azure Maiden's Path to Dao

"You have obtained the legacy—this too is your destined fortune."

Qing Ji spoke slowly, then shook her head and said, "This legacy also carries karma. I suspect it will require karmic repayment in the future. I must inform my husband after returning."

Yan ZiJi nodded upon hearing this. Having inherited the legacy of the Immortal Flame Celestial Emperor and obtained the precious contingency measures left behind by this revered figure, she could now be considered the true personal disciple of this Celestial Emperor.

Yet the former Immortal Flame Celestial Emperor had already fallen. Should he ever seek to awaken and return in the future, she would never stand idly by.

The price she paid for obtaining the serendipity of the Immortal Flame Celestial Emperor's legacy was a vow: when the Immortal Flame Celestial Emperor revives in the future, she must lend a hand if she possesses sufficient capability.

In fact, unbeknownst to her, the Chaos God Emperors from the 3,000 immortal domains had all once sought to obtain this legacy. Yet every 1 of them abandoned their attempts upon learning of its requirement.

In the eyes of the Dao Ancestors and Immortal Sages, while the legacy of the Blaze Celestial Emperor was remarkable, it was not worth such an immense sacrifice.

After all, the revival of a Chaos Heaven Emperor would inevitably trigger earth-shattering turmoil. Even if that unspeakable being who struck back then chose to stand idly by, it would certainly provoke a great war among multiple Chaos Heaven Emperors.

After all, no 1 wished to see the return of another formidable Chaos Heaven Emperor to these surrounding territories.

It was foreseeable that even the Chaos Celestial Emperor would have to pay a certain price if drawn into this conflict.

"It seems that while the opportunity is good, repaying this karmic debt will likely be no easy task."

With a soft sigh, Yan Zi Ji couldn't help but shake her head once more.

She felt no regret for accepting the karmic ties of this legacy, as it was likely her only chance to alter her destiny and cultivate the foundation of 3 True Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root).

Observing this, Qing Ji also gave a nod before turning her gaze to Lila (Person Name) and saying, "Since this Ancient Immortal Ruins Continent holds such a legacy, it stands to reason that the other 6 Ancient Immortal Ruins Continents likely harbor similar opportunities, does it not?"

"As far as I know, the Celestial Wilderness Ancient Land within the Myriad Gods Primordial Domain serves as the sanctum of the 'Frostsoul Immortal Sage'."

Lila's heart quivered, yet after a fleeting moment, she still voiced her hesitation: "But if we do this... I fear it may invoke karma of cosmic proportions."

Qing Ji smiled, her gaze resolute as she declared, “Debts, like burdens, grow no heavier with their numbers. Whether it’s 1 karmic tie to repay or 10, the obligation remains unchanged.”

"Without the Chaos Heaven Emperor as our backing, we must rely on ourselves to seize every opportunity. This may be your only chance to alter your destinies."

Lila (Person Name) heard this, yet still hesitated, "But what about my husband?"

"Given our husband’s temperament, what do you suppose he would choose if he were here?" Qing Ji (Person Name) countered calmly with a faint smile.

"I understand."

Lila nodded, instantly comprehending.

Having accompanied Eldrin for so many years, she understood his thoughts all too well.

Since the opportunity lay before him and he possessed the means to seize it, Eldrin never shied away from karma.

In Eldrin's eyes, risk and reward were always equivalent. Unless you were backed by the Chaos Celestial Emperor and lacked no opportunities, those who hesitated and dared not take risks would remain mediocre for their entire lives.

After understanding this, she turned to Eldrin and said, "Then I can only ask for your assistance, sister."

Having decided to visit the Primordial Domain of 10 1000 Divinities’ Ancient Ruins Continent, the group lingered no longer and strode 1 after another into the depths of the chaos.

They traversed the vast chaos, crossing endless stretches of void, until they arrived beyond the Primordial Domain of 10 1000 Gods.

Upon arriving at the Myriad Gods Primordial Realm, everyone was astonished to discover that its mainstream cultivation method was also the path to transcendence—the very art of world creation and ascension to the immortal realm.

However, the mainstream cultivators in the Myriad Gods Primordial Domain were predominantly divine races, hence they referred to the established immortal realms as Divine Domains.

Beyond the Primordial Domain of 10 1000 Gods, 3 1000 divine realms stood firm within the chaos, revered by the local deities as the 3 1000 Divine Domains.

"This Primordial Domain of 10 1000 Gods truly lives up to its reputation as the former top-ranked realm among the 7 Celestial Domains of the Southern Abyss."

Gazing upon the magnificent expanse of the 3 1000 Divine Domains, Qing Ji couldn't help but sigh with profound emotion. "Setting aside the number of Chaos Heavenly Emperors," she remarked, "the foundation of the 10 1000 Gods Primordial Domain may not be inferior to that of the 3 1000 Immortal Domains."

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this. In the primordial era, the Primal Domain of 10 1000 Gods had already boasted 5 Chaos God Emperors, surpassing even the strength of the 3 1000 immortal domains by a significant margin.

Had it not been for the 4 Chaos Heavenly Emperors born across the 3 1000 Immortal Domains within mere tens of thousands of cosmic kalpas since the Primordial Era, there would have been little confidence in surpassing this lineage.

"The Ancient Immortal Ruins here have opened. To avoid complications, let us enter now."

At that very moment, Qing Ji (Person Name) suddenly spoke up.

She immediately ventured deep into the 3 1000 Divine Realms, leading the group as they stormed into the Ancient Immortal Ruins Continent, heading straight for the Frostsoul Forbidden Land—the foremost among the 10 great forbidden grounds of this realm.

This time, they concealed their identities and engaged in a series of astonishing battles against the deities from 3 1000 celestial realms.

After more than a dozen consecutive battles, nearly a 100 8-tribulation ancient gods of the Divine Race had been slain, nearly crushing the entire generation of prodigies among the Divine Race across the 3 1000 Immortal Domains.

You must understand, this cosmic calamity is unlike any before. The number of Eighth Tribulation Ancient Immortals drawn into the tribulation is actually not particularly large—in all 3 1000 immortal domains combined, the total scarcely amounts to 2 or 3 100 such beings.

Nearly a 100 8-Tribulation Ancient Gods were slain by them—1 might say nearly half of the generation's most prodigious talents across the entire Myriad Gods Primordial Domain had fallen.

According to Qing Ji's estimation, the Primal Domain of 10 1000 Gods would likely fail to produce a single Great Luo Golden Immortal during this cosmic tribulation.

Of course, this was ultimately a contention for the Great Dao, and none showed mercy. They fought their way to the heart of the Ancient Immortal Ruins Continent, arriving at the threshold of the Frostsoul Forbidden Land.

The Frostforbidden Abyss stood as the most dreaded forbidden ground within this Ancient Immortal Ruins Continent, a place of unparalleled peril. Fortunately, this expedition was personally led by Qing Ji, granting them absolute confidence in conquering this treacherous domain.

Qing Ji took personal command, leading the assault on the Frost Soul Forbidden Grounds. After 3 1000 years of grueling battle, they finally conquered this forbidden realm.

After seizing this forbidden realm, the group immediately stepped inside to cultivate. Drawing upon the profound mysteries of the immortal sage's sanctuary, they began assimilating the insights accumulated from the battle and the source of the Dao.

This secluded cultivation session lasted a full 1 100 1000 years.

As everyone emerged from seclusion, Qingji was delighted to discover nearly all had achieved varying degrees of advancement.

Among them, Chen Ethan (Person Name) reaped the greatest rewards. Having already obtained a wisp of Primordial Indestructible Spirit Light, he had accumulated an astonishingly profound foundation within the Creation Cauldron.

He then ventured through 2 forbidden realms—the Immortal Flame and the Frost Soul—drawing upon their primordial energies of celestial fire and glacial essence to temper his own being. Through this, he grasped the profound interplay of Yin and Yang, life and death, elevating his comprehension of the Dao of Creation and Annihilation to the realm of True Spirit.

Stepping into this realm, Ethan's power was now a far cry from what it had been, bearing a trace of the true aura of the Primordial Chaos Emperor.

Apart from Chen Ethan (Person Name), the others had only taken a step or 2 forward on their existing foundations, never achieving a qualitative breakthrough like forging an indestructible foundation.

In the end, Lila (Person Name) emerged from the secluded cultivation chamber.

"As expected, it worked."

Gazing at Lila before her, Qingji couldn't help but murmur inwardly, a trace of wistful emotion flickering across her expression.

Just as expected, this time Lila (Person Name) successfully cultivated the True Spirit Dao through her training in the Frigid Soul Forbidden Land, subsequently triggering the legacy imprint of the Frigid Soul Immortal Sage.

And as the price for obtaining the legacy of the Chillspirit Immortal Sage, Lila (Person Name) likewise pledged that when the Chillspirit Immortal Sage returns in the future, should she possess sufficient strength, she must lend her aid.

It was precisely because of this promise that Lila obtained the legacy of the Frostsoul Immortal Sage, along with the precious inheritance left behind by the venerable 1.

Through this legacy and opportunity, Lila attained the True Spirit Body and True Spirit Soul, gaining the supreme foundation of 3 True Spiritual Roots.

At this thought, Lila couldn't help but sigh and say, "Though I've gained a serendipitous opportunity this time, repaying this karmic debt in the future will likely prove quite troublesome."

Qing Ji smiled faintly before speaking, "Do not worry. Such an opportunity may very well be 1 of the greatest fortunes you will encounter in this lifetime. We are in no position to be picky."

"Moreover, the day of the Immortal Sage's awakening is still far off. Even when it truly arrives, your husband will be standing at the forefront to bear the burden. You need only focus on your cultivation."

Hearing this, Lila was reminded of Eldrin. Throughout the 2 kalpas of immeasurable time, that peerless figure robed in snow-white garments had always shielded them from storms and hardships at the forefront. An unprecedented sense of security welled up within her heart.

For a moment, all the hesitation, unease, and anxiety seemed to vanish from her heart.

She suppressed that thought and couldn't help but smile. "Indeed, only by growing stronger can I fight side by side with him."

Seeing this, Yan Zijie (Person Name) glanced around before speaking, "With matters here concluded, there's no need for us to linger. Let us venture into the Chaotic Heavenly Abyss."

"Very well."

Before long, the group departed from the 3,000 Divine Realms and set off toward the Chaotic Abyss.

In truth, with the foundation they had accumulated, even if they were to stop now, they would already be qualified to attempt a breakthrough to the Great Luo Realm.

Their decision to cross the Celestial Abyss was not only to continue their training journey, but also to traverse the 6 Northern Abyssal Heavens and attempt to explore the fragmented ruins of the ancient immortal continent within the Northern Abyss.

According to ancient legend, of the 7 fragments of the Immortal Ruins Ancient Land, 3 fell into the hands of the 6 Domains of Northern Abyss, where they were designated as Great Perfection Trial Grounds.

And so, the group concealed their identities, traversed the Chaotic Abyss, and stealthily infiltrated the 6 Domains of the Northern Abyss.

Unfortunately, they had explored 3 fragments of immortal ruins and ancient continents 1 after another, only to be astonished to discover that the legacies of these 3 immortal ruins and ancient continents had already vanished.

"The legacy has vanished?"

Realizing this, Qing Ji felt a flicker of astonishment.

3 legacies of the Primordial Chaos Immortal Sage vanished, suggesting this likely involved dealings between the Chaos Demon Lord and the Chaos Immortal Sage. Alternatively, it could point to the existence of cultivators who had achieved at least 6 True Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root). After conquering several forbidden realms, they might have undertaken the karmic burden of inheriting the Primordial Chaos legacy.

Whichever it might be, the secrets behind it were likely extraordinary and absolutely not to be lightly probed.

"Forget it, no need to dwell on it."

Qing Ji shook her head, yet ultimately led the group in secluded cultivation within these forbidden lands for a time.

However, without the legacy and blessings of the Primordial Chaos Immortal Sage, these 3 immortal sanctuaries no longer possessed world-shaking fortunes.

Others either lacked sufficient aptitude and potential, or had yet to forge their own path, making them unable to reach that critical threshold. Merely relying on the opportunities within the Immortal Sage's Dao Sanctuary was insufficient to cultivate a True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) foundation.

After cultivating in these forbidden lands for a short while, their foundations had somewhat strengthened, yet they remained unable to breach that ultimate bottleneck.

With time running short, Qing Ji finally led the group back across the primordial chaos, traversing the Ancient Chaos Path to return to the 7 Heavenly Domains of Southern Abyss.

At this point, less than 1 100 1000 years remained until the end of the Heavenly Tribulation. Without the slightest delay, they immediately returned to the 6 Heavens Domain of the Southern Abyss to begin their assault on the Great Perfection Stage.

Among them, Qing Ji was the first to impact the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. With her foundation of 7 True Spiritual Roots, she initiated a cosmic genesis, completing her ascension to the immortal domain in an extremely short time and establishing 138 heavenly realms.

These 1 100 and 30-8 heavenly realms surpassed Lyra (Person Name) by a full 6 layers, second only to Eldrin (Person Name)'s 1 100 and 40-4 heavenly realms—a testament to the profound depth of Qing Ji's foundation.

Of course, by comparison, Lyra (Person Name) possessed greater potential for growth. While Qingji's (Person Name) Chaos Azure Lotus origin was indeed heaven-defying, upon reaching a certain realm, she would inevitably become constrained by her innate foundation.

However 1 might judge, the current depth of foundation and brilliance of Eldrin (Person Name) was truly astonishing.

She attained the Dao through her Chaos Spirit Root, possessing not only a heaven-defying foundation but also several innate spiritual treasures.

They were the 5 treasures: 'Chaos Azure Lotus Tome', 'Chaos Azure Lotus Immortal Robe', 'Chaos Azure Lotus Throne', 'Azure Dragon Sea-Quelling Sword', and 'Crimson Dragon Sky-Scorching Sword'.

Among the 5 Treasures, the first 3 were all embryonic forms of Chaos Spiritual Artifacts. At present, they were merely rudimentary prototypes. Only through Qing Ji's continuous cultivation and advancement could they ultimately transform into genuine Chaos Spiritual Artifacts.

The Azure Dragon Sea-Quelling Sword and the Crimson Dragon Heaven-Incinerating Sword were reincarnated alongside Qing Ji (Person Name).

Among them, the Azure Dragon Sea-Roiling Sword absorbed the immense vitality of the Chaos Azure Lotus, emerging as it fused with a single lotus petal. Meanwhile, the Crimson Dragon Sea-Roiling Sword absorbed partial death energy from the lotus seed, coalescing with the discarded lotus sheath to manifest, harboring overwhelming annihilative power.

These 2 treasures were both Primordial Chaos Numinous Treasure embryos. As Qing Ji's cultivation advanced, they would eventually transform into complete Primordial Chaos Numinous Treasures.

And Qing Ji's breakthrough this time yielded a full 20-3 strands of innate indestructible spiritual light.

She integrated 5 of the Primordial Indestructible Spirit Lights into the 5 Polar Heavenly Pillars, while storing away the remaining 18.

For a Great Luo Golden Immortal, merging with the Primordial Indestructible Radiance was fundamentally about elevating their own potential and foundational roots, raising the ceiling of their innate aptitude until it could rival that of a Chaos Demon God—or even a Chaos Primordial God.

Qingji, born of a Chaos Spirit Root, inherently possessed the aptitude and potential of a Chaos Ancestral God. She faced no significant bottlenecks before breaking through to the realm of Dao Ancestor Immortal Sage, nor did she require fusion with Innate Indestructible Spirit Light to enhance her innate gifts.

In contrast, the reason Seraphina Qu (Person Name) needed to integrate the Primordial Chaos Qi along with the Innate Indestructible Radiance was that she was not born as a natural Chaos 9-Colored Clam and had to compensate for her innate aptitude and foundational reserves.

To return to our story, after Qing Ji's breakthrough, Lila and Yan Zi Ji also advanced further, stepping into the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortals.

However, their foundations could not compare to the 2 of them, having only opened 1 100 and 18 heavenly domains and obtained 18 strands of innate indestructible spiritual light.

These innate indestructible lights—5 were absorbed by their 5 Extremity Heavenly Pillars. Of the remaining 13, 3 each merged into the Great Dao, the physical body, and the primordial spirit, leaving 4 strands of innate indestructible light preserved within each.

After that, Chen Ethan also achieved his breakthrough. With his extraordinary potential, he succeeded in opening 1 100 and 8 heavenly domains.

Chapter 1 The Azure Cloud Sect's recruitment ceremony was in full swing atop the mist-shrouded peak. Countless aspiring cultivators had gathered, their eyes blazing with ambition as they gazed upon the towering jade gate that led to the immortal path. A young man in faded blue robes stood at the rear of the crowd, his fingers unconsciously tracing the simple wooden pendant at his chest. "10 years," he murmured. "10 years since I crossed into this world, and finally I have this chance." Suddenly, the crowd parted as a graceful figure descended on a shimmering sword. The disciples nearby immediately bowed and chorused, "Greetings, Elder Mingyue (Person Name)!" Elder Mingyue's cool gaze swept across the assembly. "Those below the third level of Qi Refinement may leave." Her voice carried the weight of undeniable authority. Murmurs rippled through the crowd as nearly a third of the aspirants departed with dejected expressions. The young man in blue, however, remained steadfast. Though he appeared to be only at the second level of Qi Refinement, a faint golden light flickered deep within his pupils. The qualification test commenced. 1 by 1, aspirants stepped forward to place their hands upon the Testing Spirit Stone (Magical Artifact). "Li Feng (Person Name), fourth level of Qi Refinement - qualified!" "Wang Lin (Person Name), third level of Qi Refinement - qualified!" When the blue-robed youth's turn came, Elder Mingyue's eyebrows twitched slightly. "Name?" "Chen Xuan (Person Name)." As his palm touched the Testing Spirit Stone, the artifact initially showed no reaction, prompting snickers from the crowd. But in the next instant, the stone erupted with blinding golden light so intense that everyone had to shield their eyes. "This... this is impossible!" exclaimed an outer sect elder. "The Testing Spirit Stone is malfunctioning!" Yet Chen Xuan merely smiled faintly. In his previous life, he had been the Divine Lord of the Central Heaven, commanding respect across the 9 Heavens and 10 Earths. Though he had fallen during his Heavenly Tribulation, his soul had crossed through the void to inhabit this body. How could a mere Testing Spirit Stone accurately gauge his true power? Just as chaos threatened to erupt, a majestic voice echoed from the highest peak: "Let him pass." The entire mountain fell silent. That voice belonged to none other than the Azure Cloud Sect's Grand Elder. Elder Mingyue took a deep breath, her expression complex as she declared, "Chen Xuan... qualified." As Chen Xuan stepped through the jade gate, he glanced back at the receding world behind him. His journey to reclaim his throne had just begun. Somewhere within the sect's depths, he could sense a wisp of aura from his former life's supreme treasure - the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron (Divine Artifact). Little did he know that high in the clouds, a pair of aged eyes watched his every move with keen interest. "Interesting. To think that after 3 1000 years, another has emerged who can stir the Testing Spirit Stone..." Meanwhile, deep within a forbidden area of the sect, an ancient bronze cauldron covered in verdigris suddenly trembled, emitting a soft hum that seemed to resonate across time itself.
