Chapter 2124 : 10 Emperors of 1 Clan

This primordial immortal realm naturally derived the Great Dao of Chaos, and most crucially, it had actually nurtured 3 strands of Primordial Chaos Genesis Qi.

Seraphina Qu did not hoard these strands of Primordial Chaos Qi for herself, but instead handed them all over to Eldrin for disposition.

Eldrin did not decline. After storing the Primordial Chaos Qi, he spoke gravely, "The most pressing matter now is to cultivate more Chaos Heavenly Emperors as swiftly as possible."

"I shall keep this Primordial Chaos Qi for now. When our reserves are more plentiful, we shall proceed with upgrading your 9 Extremities Spirit-Severing Sword."

Seraphina Qu, however, smiled faintly and took his hand, saying, "We are 1, bound by a shared destiny. There is no need for words between us—I trust you completely."

A flicker of warmth blossomed in Eldrin's heart, and he said no more.

After a night of tender intimacy, Eldrin gathered his disciples and clan members early the next morning.

Observing these disciples and clansmen, a faint sense of pride welled up in Eldrin’s heart.

Unbeknownst to all, the accumulated strength of the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) had become the foremost among the great immortal families across the 10 Domains of the Southern Abyss.

Nowadays, the Returning Abyss lineage alone boasted over 30 individuals whose cultivation had reached the Great Emperor Realm.

Among them were Eldrin's 5 legitimate sons, 10 great direct disciples, as well as the first-generation powerhouses like Chen Ethan, Emperor Jiang, Chen Qiyuan, and Ancestor Qing.

Most of these individuals cultivated the Path of Self-Sacrifice. Having previously obtained vast quantities of Primordial Treasures, they spent countless years refining them, ultimately achieving mastery over at least 9 True Spirit Immortal Vaults.

Some individuals did not walk the Path of Sacrificing the Self, such as Lulu, Ao Hong, the Primordial Demon Ape, Li Huang, as well as the 3 Talents, 4 Symbols, and 7 Great Imperial Monarchs.

Their innate talent and foundation were slightly inferior, but under Eldrin's continuous cultivation over the years, their cultivation had now reached the absolute peak of the Great Emperor realm. They had even cultivated various other foundational disciplines simultaneously.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, these individuals could now attempt to specialize in the Sacrificial Self Path.

At this thought, Eldrin could not help but remark, "Now that both of Seraphina Qu's foundations have reached the Heavenly Emperor Realm, it is evident that the Path of Sacrifice's Chaotic Dao has been fully perfected."

"From this moment forth, you may also begin preparing for the Heavenly Emperor Realm."

Upon hearing this, everyone present exchanged glances, their faces lighting up with ecstasy.

Seeing this, Eldrin taught everyone the method of sacrificing to the Dao Heavenly Emperor, then said, "I still have some Primordial Chaos Qi in my possession."

"Those among you who have cultivated the 10 Great True Spirit Immortal Treasures shall each receive a sponsorship of Primordial Chaos Primordial Qi."

Hearing this, everyone’s hearts trembled faintly, and their gazes turned almost in unison toward Ye Qingfeng and the others.

Within the ranks of the Return to Ruins lineage, few had successfully cultivated the 10 Great True Spirit Immortal Treasures. Counting them all, there were merely 4: Jiang Huang (Person Name), Ye Qingfeng (Person Name), Chen Xianzhu (Person Name), and Ye Yinghui (Person Name).

While most of the others had cultivated the 9 great True Spirit Immortal Depots, they still fell 1 step short of the most crucial tenth True Spirit Immortal Depot.

This breakthrough was exceptionally difficult to achieve, requiring both tremendous serendipity and profound accumulation to succeed.

At that moment, Eldrin swept his gaze over the 4 individuals, then with a flick of his sleeve bestowed upon each of them a wisp of Primordial Chaos Qi. He spoke solemnly, "Cultivate diligently and strive to attain the Chaos Immortal Vault as soon as possible."

"I hope that 1 day, you may rise swiftly and lend me your strength."

"We understand."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this, their expressions turning grave 1 by 1.

Eldrin said no more, turning his gaze to Ao Hong, Li Huang, the Ancient Primal Ape, and Sword Xuan Emperor. "When your future potential reaches its limit, should you wish to convert to the Path of Self-Devotion, you may seek me at any time."

Upon hearing this, their faces lit up with ecstasy, and they immediately bowed in unison.

Eldrin waved his hand, dismissing the crowd until only Chen Ethan and Lulu remained.

Observing the pair, a trace of satisfaction surfaced on Eldrin's face.

In previous years, Chen Ethan and Lulu found their cultivation progress had reached an impasse. Thus, they journeyed together into the Chaotic Desolate Sea, only to inadvertently fall into a Chaotic Realm, where they obtained astonishingly profound opportunities.

Seizing this opportunity, Chen Ethan elevated his Dao of Life and Death to the peak of the Quasi-Sage realm, and further cultivated all 9 True Spirit Acupoints to perfection.

Lulu obtained a wisp of Primordial Chaos Qi, shattering the physical body's ultimate bottleneck and laying the foundation for her metamorphosis into a Chaos 9-Colored Deer.

Now it seems both have the potential to reach the Heavenly Emperor realm, and should they convert to the Sacrificial Self Path, their latent potential would surely ascend further.

Especially Lulu, whose foundation was nearly on par with the original Seraphina Qu (Person Name). Once the sacrificial ritual is completed, her potential will likely approach that of Seraphina Qu (Person Name).

At this thought, Eldrin could not help but speak: "Your foundations are now sufficient. This time, attempt to convert to the Sacrificial Path and see if you can cultivate the 10 great True Spirit Immortal Treasures."

With these words, Eldrin did not hesitate in the slightest. He immediately brought the 2 into the Chaos Realm.

Upon arriving at the Chaos Realm, Eldrin began harnessing the power of the Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron to assist them in completing their Sacrificial Path cultivation.

Within the Qiankun Creation Cauldron, Chen Ethan naturally cultivated the 10 Great True Spirit Immortal Vaults.

Alas, Lulu fell just half a step short, ultimately mastering only 9 of the True Spirit Immortal Vaults.

After attaining the True Spirit Immortal Vault, both of them successively achieved the Chaos Immortal Vault, breaking through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm and further perfecting the Path of Self-Devotion.

After their breakthrough, Eldrin resumed his secluded cultivation, no longer concerning himself with the practices of the Sacrificial Dao.

While he was fully immersed in his secluded cultivation, Chen Xianzhu, Jiang Huang, Ye Yinghui, and Ye Qingfeng successively mastered the Chaos Immortal Vault.

Afterward, they also completed the ascension of their primordial inner realms, successively breaking through to the Emperor of Heaven Realm.

While the others, lacking sufficient resources, all began to venture into the Chaotic Desolate Sea in search of opportunities to advance their cultivation.

Thus time hurried by, and in the blink of an eye, nearly a 1000 kalpas had passed.

Until this day, Eldrin emerged from the seclusion chamber and slowly exhaled a breath.

"The resources have been depleted."

Eldrin (Person Name) spoke slowly, a trace of helplessness coloring his expression.

This time he emerged from seclusion not because his cultivation had reached an impasse, but because his resources had been completely depleted.

Back when Eldrin seized a primordial chaos realm, he captured a vast quantity of Primal Yellow Primordial Qi and Chaos Divine Liquid. Over the years, Eldrin had continuously cultivated Golden Chaos Bamboo Shoots.

With these resources, Eldrin's physical cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds over the years, more than doubling since he first broke through to the Heavenly Emperor realm.

However, Eldrin's physical body was far too powerful, and his cultivation consumed an astonishing amount of resources.

By now, all the resources in his possession had been completely depleted, with not even a trace of Primordial Qi remaining.

After all, the Southern Abyss Domains were merely a minor realm, with limited resources at the Primal Primordial Qi level. Supplying Eldrin, who was at the Half-Step Dao Unity stage, was already a stretch—let alone when Eldrin accelerated his cultivation speed by 3 hundredfold.

Unless Eldrin sold Chaos Gold Bamboo Shoots or Chaos Gold Bamboo in massive quantities and expanded his business across the entire 100 Realms of Blazing Central, it would likely become exceedingly difficult for him to obtain Primordial Genesis Qi in bulk from now on.

However, doing so would inevitably expose the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Vessel. The value of such a treasure far surpassed that of ordinary mid-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasures, and it would undoubtedly bring Eldrin immense trouble.

After much deliberation, Eldrin decided to postpone the matter for the time being.

With this thought in mind, Eldrin sensed the foundation of his physical body and couldn't help but let a faint smile surface.

"With my physical foundation now more than doubled, I should possess about 80 percent of an ordinary Dao Union Supreme's strength, shouldn't I?"

Eldrin calculated inwardly, feeling a renewed sense of confidence about the forthcoming opportunities at the Desolate Heaven Ancient Palace.

He went straight into the main hall and summoned several core members of the Abyssal Return lineage.

Gazing at the figures before him, a faint tremor passed through Eldrin's brow before a trace of delight surfaced on his face as he spoke.

"Excellent. Your cultivation has progressed significantly. It seems our chances of success at the Ancient Temple of Desolate Heavens have grown considerably."

Over the years, Qing Ji, Lyra (Person Name), Chen Ethan (Person Name), Lu Lu, Ye Qingfeng, Ye Yinghui, Jiang Huang, and Chen Xianzhu had all broken through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm.

With the addition of Eldrin and Seraphina Qu, the Abyssal Return lineage now boasts 10 ultimate Chaos Heavenly Emperors.

A single clan with 10 Great Emperors—what an astonishing concept! Throughout the 100 Domains of Chiyang, the Guixu lineage stood as 1 of the most supreme powers.

Moreover, the Celestial Emperors of the Returning Abyss lineage were no ordinary Chaos Celestial Emperors.

Among the 10 Great Emperors, 7—Seraphina Qu (Person Name), Chen Ethan (Person Name), Lulu, Ye Qingfeng, Ye Yinghui, Jiang Huang, and Chen Xianzhu—had attained emperorship through the Path of Self-Sacrifice.

They cultivated both the Inner Immortal Domain and the Chaos Vault, their combat prowess reaching the absolute peak of the first realm of Chaos. Nearly all had attained battle strength at the half-step Dao Union level.

Even Lu Lu, who possessed the poorest foundation, far surpassed top-tier Heavenly Emperors in combat prowess. Taking on 3 to 5 ordinary Heavenly Emperors single-handedly was nothing difficult for her.

As for Lyra (Person Name) and Qing Ji, they were also extraordinary.

Among the 2, Lyra (Person Name) cultivated both soul arts and physical body ascension, her strength ranking among the most supreme even among Heavenly Emperors.

Qing Ji was a manifestation of the Chaos Spiritual Root. After breaking through to the Celestial Emperor realm, she possessed top-tier combat prowess among Celestial Emperors.

And the reason they were able to cultivate to such a high realm was greatly related to Eldrin.

Without the 3-hundredfold time acceleration provided by Eldrin (Person Name), even with abundant resources, they would have required at least hundreds of thousands of kalpas of arduous cultivation to reach their current realm.

But now they had reached this realm far ahead of time, demonstrating just how heaven-defying the 300-fold acceleration of time flow truly was.

At this moment, everyone present was quite exhilarated.

Seraphina Qu couldn't help but glance at Eldrin before asking, "Husband, must we all journey to the Desolate Heaven Ancient Temple together this time?"

"Let's go together."

Eldrin spoke with a hint of delight, "Within the Desolate Heaven Ancient Palace lies an opportunity to break through to the Integration Realm. This is a rare chance for us."

"If you miss this opportunity, I fear I won't be able to afford your cultivation resources in the future either."

Everyone present wore a bitter smile upon hearing this.

Now, the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) occupied a considerable portion of the resources across the 10 Domains of the Southern Abyss, yet for them, this remained but a drop in the bucket.

With the support of a 3-hundredfold time acceleration, the cultivation effects could truly be described as defying the heavens. However, the resources consumed in the process had increased by no less than 3 100 times.

The chaotic wild seas surrounding the Southern Abyss alone could never sustain the cultivation needs of the Chen Clan's members.

Even Eldrin (Person Name) was now nearly exhausting his resources, let alone the other members of the Chen Clan.

At this thought, Lyra spoke: "For the sake of cultivation resources, this journey is 1 we must undertake."

"However, to guard against those enemies, we still need to make a couple of preparations."

Chapter 1 The biting mountain wind whipped across the cliffside, carrying with it the scent of pine and damp earth. Lin Feng tightened his coarse hemp robe, his breath misting in the chill air. 1 100 years had passed since he first set foot on the path of cultivation, yet he remained stranded at the third layer of Qi Refinement—a dozen or so years without the slightest hint of breakthrough. He reached into his worn storage pouch, fingers brushing against the meager collection of spiritual resources within: a mere 1,200 spirit stones, 3 Foundation Establishment Pills, and the tattered manual of the Azure Cloud Art. Countless fellow disciples had long surpassed him, some even reaching the golden core stage, while he remained trapped in this endless cycle of stagnation. Suddenly, the Eldrin (Person Name) hanging from his waist grew warm. A faint crimson light began to pulse from the ancient jade pendant—a family heirloom that had shown no reaction for decades. Before he could comprehend this strange phenomenon, violent spiritual energy surged through his meridians like a raging torrent. "Impossible..." Lin Feng gasped, his body trembling uncontrollably. The spiritual energy that had been stagnant for over a decade was now circulating at an astonishing speed, breaking through barriers he thought would never be overcome. A thunderous roar echoed from the sky. Dark clouds gathered with unnatural speed, swirling into a massive vortex directly above him. Bolts of lightning snaked through the ominous formation—this was clearly the sign of a tribulation, but for a mere Qi Refinement cultivator? The Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) strapped to his back began vibrating violently, its crimson sheath glowing as if responding to the heavenly phenomenon. Lin Feng's mind raced—this was no ordinary breakthrough. The Eldrin (Person Name) continued to emit waves of ancient, profound energy, intertwining with the gathering tribulation clouds. He had mere moments to decide: face this inexplicable heavenly tribulation head-on, or flee and forever lose this unprecedented opportunity. Gritting his teeth, Lin Feng drew the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure), its blade shimmering with newly awakened power. For thousands of years, none had dared challenge the heavens at the Qi Refinement stage—but today, the rules themselves would be rewritten. The first bolt of tribulation lightning descended, painting the world in blinding white.
