Chapter 1953 : Seeking Allies, Lanxi Emperor(Cultivation Title)

According to the memories recovered by Lyra (Person Name), her past incarnation had indeed left behind numerous contingencies, including a vast collection of rare treasures—among them several Chaos Lunar Yin Fruits—to facilitate her swift restoration to the Primordial Chaos Emperor realm once her memories were regained.

Unfortunately, for reasons unknown, the contingency plans left behind by the Grand Yin Emperor seemed to have been unearthed by someone long ago. Even the Chaos Yin Fruit had vanished without a trace, forcing Eldrin to painstakingly gather nearly all of Lyra's cultivation resources himself.

Getting down to business, with sufficient justification in hand, Eldrin personally penned 4 separate letters addressed to the 4 peerless emperors: the Emperor of Taicang, the Emperor of Taiyang, the Emperor of Taiyou, and the Emperor of Taihan.

After resolving this matter, Eldrin sent it into the depths of chaos before secluding himself with several dao companions to heal his wounds.

In recent years, he had developed a dual cultivation healing method rooted in the Dao of Yin-Yang Resonance, which now proved to be precisely what the situation demanded.

It was not long after Eldrin went into seclusion that the Blaze Emperor was the first to receive the letter.

The peerless Eldrin Emperor gazed at the letter in his hand and chuckled softly. "This Lord of the Returning Abyss proves rather intriguing. Though every word in his missive pleads for assistance, he maintains dignified composure while laying bare the stakes involved."

And in his arms, a peerless Great Luo Immortal Maiden asked, "Shall we lend a hand?"

The Flame Emperor Li did not reply, merely smiling as he said, "In this world, neither pleas nor threats nor temptations can sway a person’s resolve."

"As for whether to offer assistance, it depends on which choice proves more advantageous for us."

As the words faded, the Eldrin Emperor summoned a Great Luo Golden Immortal under his command and declared, "Issue the decree: during the Chaos War, all conflicts over the Great Dao are forbidden within the Eastern Li Flame Domain."

"Any who dare to wage a Dao Conflict against the human race of Eastern Li Flame Domain during this period shall make an enemy of this Imperial Sovereign."

Elsewhere, the Grand Primordium Emperor gazed at the letter in his hand, falling into a brief silence before folding it shut.

And beside him stood a stunning beauty clad in a long blue dress.

This woman was none other than the Dao Companion of the Grand Firmament Divine Emperor, the mother of Tai Cang Di Yan, and the illustrious deity known as the Blue Dawn Divine Monarch (Person Name). Her cultivation had reached the profound level of the sixth tier of the Primordial Chaos Divine Monarch.

At this moment, Emperor Lanxi pondered briefly before asking, "Are you planning to form an alliance with him?"

The Great Sovereign of the Azure Heavens did not respond. Only after a long while did he finally speak, "On the path of Yin and Yang pursued by Diyang, those who stand in opposition are the Celestial Emperor of the Sun and the Demon Sovereign of the Moon."

"This is an impassable dead end. Only by reforging 1's foundation and cultivating the profound paths of Mysterious Yin and Mysterious Yang can 1 evade these 2, gaining the possibility to prove the Dao as the Primordial Chaos Divine Sovereign."

Hearing this, Monarch Lanxi took a deep breath and said, “Sister Taiyin truly lives up to being the fated Divine Empress. Who could have imagined she still possesses such hidden reserves?”

"This opportunity may very well be Young Yang’s only chance to defy fate and alter his destiny. We absolutely cannot let it slip through our fingers."

The Great Elder God Emperor nodded, then spoke, "Go there yourself and deliver the Profound Yin Origin and Profound Yang Origin to rebuild Di Yan’s foundation."

Blue Xi Emperor nodded, then after a moment’s contemplation, spoke up, “If this matter succeeds, we will owe them a favor of cosmic proportions.”

"I wish to bring that treasure along to repay this favor."

Hearing this, the Great Cang Divine Emperor’s expression shifted slightly. Given the immense wealth left behind by the Lunar Thearch, ordinary treasures would undoubtedly be beneath his notice.

The treasure that Emperor Lanxi wished to bring along was no ordinary peerless artifact, for it had managed to catch the attention of Lyra (Person Name).

The Great Elder God did not answer immediately. Only after a long while did he draw a deep breath and say, "So be it. If Diyang can achieve the Dao, then that treasure is of little consequence. Send it to him."

While the Celestial Venerable Sovereign and his consort were in discussion, the 3 sovereigns—Taiyou, Taiyang, and Taihan—each received a missive.

The 3 Hunyuan Emperor Lords placed great importance on this opportunity to rebuild their foundations, each dispatching their most promising disciples to partake in it.

Thus time flew by, until approximately 1 million years later. No sooner had Eldrin’s injuries fully healed than he discovered that the powerful experts of the 4 Great Imperial Courts had already arrived.

This opportunity to rebuild 1's foundation was taken with utmost seriousness by the 4 Great Imperial Courts. Among them, the Taicang Divine Clan was personally represented by Emperor Lanxi.

The Great Central Imperial Clan dispatched the Grand Elder of the Great Azure Imperial Clan—a Golden Immortal of the Grand Luo Realm at the Great Perfection stage, whose cultivation was second only to the 3 Supreme Elders and the Patriarch who had attained the level of Primordial Chaos Imperial Lords.

The Supreme Nether Imperial Court and the Supreme Frost Imperial Court also dispatched a Great Perfection Stage Great Luo Golden Immortal (Cultivation Realm) each to personally attend.

Eldrin personally received the guests and signed alliance treaties with the 4 great Imperial Courts. According to the terms stipulated in the agreements, should any Chaos Origin Emperor-level powerhouse target the Abyssal Return Immortal Alliance, the Emperors of the 4 Imperial Courts would be obligated to intervene and block such threats.

As for the Great Luo Golden Immortals making a move, the Chen Clan Immortal Alliance would handle it themselves, sparing the 4 Great Imperial Courts any trouble.

Moreover, when necessary, Eldrin (Person Name) could request the 4 Great Imperial Courts (Organization) to intervene once, taking the initiative to deal with formidable enemies on his behalf.

As the price, Eldrin would have to expend 4 precious opportunities to help 4 top prodigies from the 4 great factions rebuild their foundations, granting them the aptitude and foundation comparable to that of a Primordial Chaos Emperor.

After the contract was signed, Eldrin met the candidate arranged by the 4 Great Imperial Courts to rebuild his foundation.

Eldrin recognized 2 of the 4 candidates: his foremost divine general, Tai Cang Di Yang, and the imperial scion of the Tai Yang Imperial Clan, 'Tai Yang Wu Ji'.

Among the 2, Tai Cang Di Yang had followed Eldrin (Person Name) for many years, enduring numerous chaotic wars. His combat prowess had reached the pinnacle of an 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal, rivaling even the top prodigies with a single True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) foundation.

Taiyang Wuji had once broken through to the Celestial Immortal realm alongside Eldrin (Person Name) during the same Heavenly Tribulation. Having now cultivated for nearly 4 kalpas of immeasurable time, his cultivation base had advanced to the realm of an 8-Tribulation Ancient Immortal.

Moreover, Taiyang Wuji possessed astonishing aptitude, ranking among the top 10 imperial descendants in the history of the Taiyang Imperial Clan. For this reason, he received personal cultivation from the Taicang Imperial Clan.

In such circumstances, Taiyang Wuji had already cultivated the 4 Indestructible Foundations, placing him nearly on par with the Zhulongzi of the past.

Aside from these 2 individuals, both the Grand Nether Imperial Court and the Grand Frost Imperial Court dispatched their top Imperial Scions—the Lunar Radiance Celestial Maiden and the Cimmerian Radiance Celestial Lord respectively. Both had cultivated and perfected the 3 indestructible foundations.

These 4 individuals could all be considered foundational geniuses of the 4 Great Imperial Courts. Even without undergoing foundation reconstruction, their prospects of breaking through to the late-stage Great Perfection Golden Immortal realm were immensely promising, with substantial hope of even achieving the Great Perfection Golden Immortal consummation.

However, aside from Tai Cang Di Yan, the others still had little hope of proving their Dao and attaining the Primordial Chaos Emperor realm. Without an even more heaven-defying opportunity, even if they obtained the Primordial Beginning, their chances of a successful breakthrough would not exceed 30%.

At that moment, the 4 of them realized they were about to receive the legacy of the Lunar Sovereign, and couldn't help but feel immensely exhilarated.

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) turned to Emperor Lanxi (Person Name) and the others, saying, "This opportunity concerns a matter of great importance. I must ask the few of you to return to the Imperial Court (Location) and await news."

Emperor Lanxi and the others nodded in agreement upon hearing this. Though they were curious about what kind of opportunity the late Emperor Taiyin had left behind, they understood full well that such a legacy was no ordinary matter. To prevent others from coveting it, Lyra (Person Name) and Eldrin (Person Name) would absolutely never reveal any details.

At this thought, they all nodded slightly and took their leave 1 after another, departing from the Return-to-Void Immortal Realm to await further news.

As the 7 great immortal domains departed, Eldrin brought the 4 individuals into the forbidden land of the Returning Abyss, then sealed their 5 senses and 6 perceptions using the Great Dao of Chaos.

After completing all this, Eldrin took out the Cauldron of Creation and began reforging their foundations.

As the Primordial Chaos Origin was scarce, Eldrin had no intention of consuming it to rebuild the foundations of the 4 individuals this time.

Fortunately, the 4 great factions had all prepared precious top-grade innate spiritual treasures, which could serve as supreme treasures to help the 4 rebuild their foundations.

Eldrin refined the supreme innate spiritual treasure with the Cauldron of Creation, then employed the Power of Creation to reconstruct the foundations for the 4 individuals. After hundreds of thousands of years, he had finally reforged their primordial roots.

Thanks to the refinement of the supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure, the foundations of all 4 individuals had been profoundly enhanced.

The Celestial Maiden of the Moon Palace and the Heavenly Lord of Candle’s Shadow had both reconstructed the 7 Indestructible Foundations. However, since they had not expended any Primordial Chaos Origin, the 4 new Indestructible Foundations were merely ordinary ones.

The 3 original Indestructible Foundations had advanced even further, seizing this opportunity to cultivate the Upper Stream Indestructible Foundation.

A foundation of the Upper Immortal Ascension was already considered extraordinary, yet this foundation had taken a step beyond the Immortal Ascension foundation.

With such a foundation, if 1 could cultivate into a Mixed Origin Emperor in the future and obtain sufficient opportunities, there would even be a sliver of possibility to transform into a True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root).

Moreover, given the potential of their 7 Indestructible Foundations, their combat prowess already rivals that of the weakest single True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) foundation. The likelihood of them refining their Primordial Beginnings to break through to the realm of Chaos Origin Emperor in the future should be no less than 50 percent.

Such astonishing aptitude was considered top-tier even among Great Perfection Golden Immortals, fully worthy of the Extreme Emperor Court investing all its resources in nurturing it.

In comparison, Taiyang Wuji's fortuitous encounter proved even more remarkable. Originally possessing 4 Indestructible Foundations, he had now seized the opportunity to cultivate a total of 7 Indestructible Foundations.

His newly forged Indestructible Foundation was merely at the lower stream, which in truth still amounted to little. Yet, the original 4 Indestructible Foundations all began from the upper stream.

Most crucially, the Dao foundation of Taiyang Wuji had now transformed into a supreme indestructible foundation.

His Great Dao foundation was originally the indestructible foundation of the upper reaches. Now that he had stepped into this realm, it had become truly extraordinary. Should he refine the Primordial Beginning in the future to undergo metamorphosis into a Chaos Origin Emperor, there would be virtually no chance of failure.

Of course, compared to these 3, it was Tai Cang Di Yang who possessed truly heaven-defying talent after reconstructing his foundation.

As the legitimate son of 2 Primordial Chaos Emperors, with his father having reached the Great Perfection stage of cultivation, he now received cultivation resources that were nearly the full extent of their power.

Among them were the Profound Yang Origin and the Profound Yin Origin, 2 peerless innate spiritual treasures of immeasurable value.

Logically speaking, without the impetus from the Primordial Chaos Emperor, the Creation Cauldron should be incapable of refining supreme-grade innate spiritual treasures and supreme-grade innate numinous treasures.

However, this Profound Yin Essence and Profound Yang Essence were exceptionally gentle in nature, being fundamental energies that could be directly absorbed. Refining them was naturally as effortless as turning 1's hand.

Of course, as the price, the value of these 2 treasures far surpassed that of many supreme-grade innate spiritual treasures.

Not only that, but originally Eldrin had no intention of allowing Tai Cang Di Yang to utilize the Primordial Chaos Origin. However, after receiving an exceptionally precious treasure sent by the Blue Radiance Emperor, Eldrin ultimately changed his mind.

He employed a wisp of Creation Essence to help Taicang Diyang rebuild her foundation.

He was originally comparable to a single True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) foundation, but this time, during the reshaping of his foundation, he obtained astonishing resources, naturally undergoing the most heaven-defying transformation.

His Great Dao of Supreme Yin and Yang had completely transformed into the Profound Yin and Profound Yang Dao, ultimately evolving into an entirely new True Spirit Yin-Yang Dao.

Moreover, the potential of his 'Yin-Yang Immortal Body' had fully sublimated, transforming into the True Spirit Physique 'Yin-Yang Divine Sovereign Body'. Seizing this opportunity, his Dao Fruit also evolved into the True Spirit-grade 'Yin-Yang Dao Fruit'.

3 True Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root) foundations, 4 Indestructible foundations.

It could be said that after this breakthrough, Taicang Diyang had fully awakened the potential of a Chaos God Emperor, surpassing even his father, the Great Emperor Taicang, by a notable margin.

You must understand, his father, the Divine Emperor of Taicang, had already reached the Great Perfection stage of the Primordial Chaos Emperor, yet he had only managed to cultivate 2 True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) foundations.

"Not bad."

Seeing the 4 had completed their reconstruction, Eldrin put away the Creation Cauldron and then lifted the sensory seal on them.

The 4 of them gazed at their own foundational cultivation, each revealing expressions of ecstatic delight.

This transformation not only reshaped their foundations, but was enough to completely alter their destinies.

Make no mistake, from this day forth they would each become the foremost sequence within their respective Imperial Courts—indisputable true seeds of the Primordial Chaos Emperor.

Imagine, within the Celestial Court, they had finally obtained a wisp of Primordial Chaos Qi. While it offered other Great Perfection Golden Immortals merely a 30 percent chance of breakthrough, for them, it held at least a 50 percent likelihood of ascending to the realm of Chaos Emperor.

When the time comes, there will be no need for excessive deliberation regarding the priority of who obtains the opportunity.

At this thought, both the Celestial Maiden of the Moon Palace and the Heavenly Lord of Candle’s Gloom were overwhelmed with excitement. They bowed respectfully to Eldrin (Person Name) and said, “We are deeply grateful for your guidance, Immortal Lord.”

"There is no need for formalities."

Eldrin helped the 2 to their feet and said with a smile, "At its core, this is merely a transaction."

Taiyang Wuji’s expression turned somewhat complicated. He gazed at Eldrin (Person Name) and finally sighed, “I had thought we would drift further apart, with little chance of crossing paths again.”

"To think this stroke of fortune still came because of you."

Eldrin smiled faintly before speaking, "Your aptitude is equally unparalleled across the ages, Fellow Daoist. There is no need for undue humility."

Tai Cang Di Yang said no more. Having followed Eldrin (Person Name) through countless battles in the primordial chaos over the years, he had gained profound insight into his lord's nature.

After witnessing Eldrin (Person Name) suppress and slay the 9 Extremes Divine Lord, he had completely embraced his identity as the First Divine General, even feeling an inexplicable sense of pride within.

At this moment, he succeeded in establishing 3 True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) foundations, and his first thought was actually: "At last, I can fight for him."

Yes, after witnessing Eldrin's (Person Name) talent that astonished all ages and his combat prowess that shook the annals of history, he had already begun to feel a subtle admiration.

To serve as a divine general under such a peerless immortal lord did not seem a dishonorable fate after all.

Perhaps 1 day, this might become his greatest glory.

Taicang Diyang’s thoughts wavered, and only then did he realize that, without noticing, he had already lost the Dao heart to compete with Eldrin (Person Name).

Now, more than anything, he simply wished to follow in Eldrin's footsteps, to witness the rise of a legendary figure. Even if it meant becoming a sharp blade in Eldrin's hand, he would willingly clear the path of thorns—all to partake in this magnificent epic.

"Not bad at all."

Eldrin gave Tai Cang Di Yang’s shoulder a reassuring pat and nodded in satisfaction. Then, leading the 3, he stepped out of the Return to Void Forbidden Grounds and summoned the Emperors and Immortal Monarchs of the 4 great Imperial Courts.

Witnessing this scene, the several Great Luo Golden Immortals immediately examined the foundations of the Lunar Palace Celestial Maiden, the Candleghast Celestial Lord, and the Unfettered Supreme Yang. Uncontrollable ecstasy dawned upon their faces.

The Great Primordial Immortal of the Netherdark Imperial Court could scarcely contain his exhilaration as he grasped the Celestial Lord of Candle’s Shadow, exclaiming, “Hahaha! Since the Imperial Princess of Netherdark Phoenix, our Netherdark Imperial Court has produced another true seed of an Imperial Sovereign!”

"It appears that after several 1000 kalpas, my Great Nether Imperial Court shall become a supreme imperial lineage with 3 Emperors."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) couldn't help but smile faintly. When Youwu (Person Name) had cultivated her True Spirit Primordial Soul all those years ago, she was almost certain to become a Chaos Origin Emperor. With the addition of this Dark Radiance Celestial Lord (Person Name), the Grand Nether Emperor Court might truly ascend to become a top-tier emperor court boasting 3 Emperors.

Within the 3 1000 celestial domains, the Hunyuan Emperor was an exceedingly rare presence.

Apart from the disciples of those few Dao Ancestors, Immortal Saints, and the lineages of Heavenly Emperors and Divine Sovereigns, the vast majority of Imperial Courts possessed only 1 or 2 Primordial Chaos Emperors.

Only the most supreme Imperial Courts could give rise to 3 Primordial Chaos Emperors. Generally speaking, only those ranked among the top 20 of the 100 Spirit Races, or the top 10 Imperial Courts within the 3 dominant races—Human, Demon, and Divine—possessed such profound heritage.

If the Great Nether Imperial Court could accomplish this step, it would immediately ascend to the ranks of the top-tier imperial courts, becoming a renowned existence even across the 7 Domains of the Southern Abyss.

The Great Perfection Golden Immortals of the Taiyang Imperial Court and the Taihan Imperial Court also revealed faint smiles. Though they too had reached the Great Perfection stage of the Golden Immortal realm, their hopes of breaking through to become Chaos Emperor Monarchs remained exceedingly slim.

Without sufficient foundation and heritage, even if 1 obtains the Primal Beginning, the possibility of breaking through to become a Chaos Emperor remains exceedingly slim.

However, if the Imperial Court were to gain an additional Primordial Chaos Emperor, it might just enable them to slay their Great Dao adversaries, thereby seizing authority over the Great Dao and increasing their chances of breaking through to the Primordial Chaos Emperor realm.

Moreover, by then, their chances of victory in a war of the Chaos Emperor level would be significantly greater, and they might very well obtain the opportunity to defy the heavens and alter their fate.

To return to our story, after confirming that the foundations of their respective Imperial Sons had been successfully rebuilt, the 3 of them were utterly overjoyed.

They cupped their hands in salute toward Eldrin (Person Name) and Lyra (Person Name), then declared, "The Lunar Sovereign truly lives up to being heaven-ordained Divine Monarch. Such profound foundations are indeed a marvel of cosmic fortune."

Lyra (Person Name) stood with serene composure, resembling a peerless empress as she calmly stated, "The covenant has been sealed. You may depart."

Yes.

The 3 of them were exceedingly courteous, offering a slight bow to Lyra (Person Name) before vanishing into the primordial chaos.

Azure Radiance Emperor did not depart immediately. Her gaze fell upon Tai Cang Di Yan, who was reconstructing his foundation, and a flicker of astonishment surfaced within her luminous eyes.

With great effort suppressing the joy in her heart, she took Lyra's hand and said, "Sister, your methods are truly remarkable. I offer my sincerest gratitude."

Eldrin was momentarily taken aback when he heard Lyra's voice transmission: "The Blue Dawn Sovereign was born from the very first morning light of the Primal Immortal Realm. He could be considered my friend back in the primordial era."

Seeing this, Eldrin nodded slightly, unable to help but marvel at Lyra's vast network of connections.

Without another word, he allowed Lyra to guide the Blue Radiance Emperor through the celestial realm, while he himself led the Great Azure Emperor Central to the depths of the Returning Abyss Heaven.

Another 10 1000 words, bring it on.
