Chapter 535. Lyra (Person Name)'s Origins

For they were not far from attaining immortality; perhaps in their next life they could shed their mortal forms and ascend as celestial beings, eternal and undying. Naturally, the judge of the underworld would be more than willing to forge a favorable connection.

Recalling the supreme majesty of the Pure Yang Dao Lord, the assembly promptly bowed in reverence, proclaiming, "We congratulate the Dao Lord on attaining the realm of Pure Yang. May the Dao Lord enjoy eternal celestial blessings and ascend to immortal transcendence."

Witnessing countless cultivators offering their congratulations 1 after another, Dorian (Person Name) smiled faintly.

With a flick of his sleeve, thousands of luminous rays scattered like stardust, settling into the palms of each cultivator. In high spirits, he declared, "No need for formalities. Consider these trinkets a token of my regard."

Many thanks, Dao Lord.

The crowd received the treasures, their faces blooming with delight, and promptly presented the lavish congratulatory gifts they had long prepared.

Eldrin was no exception. With little money left between him and Lyra, he gifted a precious bottle of fifth-tier elixirs.

This could already be considered a rather valuable congratulatory gift. Though Eldrin had reaped tremendous rewards on several occasions, they possessed 10 innate spiritual treasures, and the consumption of such treasures was like a bottomless pit. Even the richest landlord couldn't afford endless expenditures.

After his breakthrough, Dorian (Person Name) hosted a grand banquet to entertain the guests.

After the banquet concluded, the Patriarch of the Ji Clan convened a family assembly, even extending invitations to Eldrin and his companion.

Seeing that everyone had gathered, Dorian spoke frankly, "This time I have incurred a considerable debt of gratitude. Should the 3 great holy lands or Magnus the Virtuous Lord ever require assistance in the future, we must extend our support in return."

"We understand."

Everyone nodded in agreement. This time, Dorian's breakthrough had already incurred numerous favors owed.

The 3 great holy lands of the Eastern Wasteland had all intervened on his behalf. In the future, if any disciples from these major holy lands were to attempt the breakthrough to Pure Yang, Dorian (Person Name) naturally could not stand idly by either.

After concluding that topic, Dorian’s expression turned solemn once more as he declared, “Now that I have just broken through to the realm of a Dao Lord, my primary focus will be on consolidating my cultivation and advancing the Supreme Treasure of Pure Yang as well as my second primordial spirit.”

"However, our Ji Clan's financial resources are insufficient to sustain my cultivation of the Supreme Treasure of Pure Yang (Magic Treasure) and the advancement of my Purple Radiance Thunder Dragon Primordial Spirit."

"Therefore, I have reached agreements with several Dao Lord Sanctums in the Eastern Wastelands (Location). Once I consolidate my cultivation base, I shall journey to the abyssal depths of the Demon Abyss to stand guard in place of other Dao Lords."

"In exchange, when the time comes for us to reclaim the ancestral ley lines of the Blood God Sea Region (Location), a Dao Lord shall lend me their aid."

After Dorian finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement.

Recapturing the Blood God Sea Region (Location) was no simple task.

Unlike the Nascent Soul stage, the combat prowess among Spirit Manifestation cultivators rarely varies significantly, for upon breaking through to the Spirit Manifestation realm, cultivators inherently gain means to compensate for foundational deficiencies.

Even for Earthly Infant Nascent Soul and Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul cultivators, the disparity in cultivation after a breakthrough typically wouldn't exceed 1 minor realm.

After all, cultivators who have reached this level are the pinnacle of this realm, and those who form an Earth Grade Nascent Soul can surpass most Heavenly Grade Nascent Souls, ultimately breaking through to the Nascent Divinity Dao Lord realm—such individuals undoubtedly possess extraordinary qualities.

What truly determines the combat prowess of a Primordial Spirit Dao Lord is often their mastery of potent Pure Yang divine abilities and Pure Yang spiritual treasures, as well as their comprehension of the esoteric forces of cultivation.

The Blood God Patriarch's cultivation had reached the peak of Nascent Soul Level 3, and he had further mastered the Pure Yang divine art—Blood God Art. His strength could truly be described as formidable.

With the Blood God Art alone, the Blood God Patriarch possessed 9 half-step Daolord avatars, a feat that made even a Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm) Daolord frown. This did not even account for his other myriad demonic treasures and methods.

Although the Ji Clan Leader possessed the Refining Immortal Cauldron, it still seemed somewhat insufficient to completely defeat the Blood God Ancestor.

At this thought, the Patriarch of the Ji Clan declared, "I shall take up position at the Abyssal Perdition's edge for a dozen or so years. Drawing upon the connections our Ji Clan has cultivated over generations, we may secure a line of credit for the 5 Elements Essence (Cultivation Resource). Once obtained, I shall be able to ascend and forge my Second Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm)."

"Devote yourselves to diligent cultivation. Upon my return, we shall strike against the Blood God Sea Region (Location)."

"Understood."

Seeing everyone nod in agreement, the Patriarch of the Ji Clan declared, “I shall now enter seclusion to consolidate my cultivation base. Lyra (Person Name) and Eldrin (Person Name) will remain. The rest of you may withdraw for now.”

As you command!

After the crowd had dispersed, Dorian glanced at Eldrin and the other with a smile. "My gratitude for your assistance this time as well. Had you not guarded the cultivation chamber, I likely wouldn't have been able to focus on breaking through with peace of mind."

"Not at all, this is what we ought to do."

Eldrin explained that their primary task this time was not to engage in combat, but rather to shield the seclusion chamber from the residual shockwaves of the ongoing battle.

However, such matters, while not troublesome, could only be entrusted to the most trusted individuals.

Dorian smiled faintly, then gazed into the distance as he remarked, "Though I've broken through to the Realm of the Dao Monarch, my hopes of attaining immortality remain slim at best."

"You, however, are different. With the foundational potential of the 5 Spirit Roots, you might just become the second Elder Cousin."

"Granduncle?"

Eldrin (Person Name) froze for a fleeting moment, a trace of bewilderment flickering across his expression.

Dorian cast a glance at Eldrin and chuckled, "The most recent ascendant from the recent ancient era—the Ginger Monarch—was none other than Lyra's grandfather."

"This..."

Lyra nodded and said, "The 'Meridian Forging Ascension Art' I practice was created by my grandfather."

Eldrin knew that this Ascendant Vein-Forging Method was the supreme technique for Lyra to mend her spiritual roots. What truly astonished him, however, was discovering that this very method had been created by the Ginger Emperor himself.

As the 2 recounted the events, Eldrin finally understood the cause and effect behind this matter.

It turned out that Jiang Huang possessed a talent and brilliance rarely seen throughout the ages. The reason he could achieve immortality in an era when it was nearly impossible was precisely because of this "Meridian-Forging Path to Immortality Method".

Emperor Jiang, a cultivator born with a Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), had in his youth plundered the very essence of creation through his peerless talents. He pioneered this art of reconstructing spiritual roots, ultimately completing his own 5 Elements Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root).

From that day forth, Emperor Jiang soared to unparalleled heights. Not only did he forge the Great Luo Golden Core, but he also expended the Jiang Clan's foundational reserves to achieve the Great Luo Nascent Soul in a single, decisive breakthrough.

Speaking of this past event, Dorian began, "When Emperor Jiang achieved the Dao, I was merely at the Golden Core Realm. It was then that I truly understood what it meant to possess the bearing of a Banished Immortal."

Alas, after the venerable 1 underwent his Immortal Ascension Tribulation, 4 of his 5 life-bound treasures were destroyed, leaving only a single immortal sword that advanced to the realm of immortal artifact.

"Otherwise, it might not be impossible to quell the source of the cataclysm at the abyssal end of the Demonic Chasm..."

Dorian spoke with measured grace, his eyes brimming with reverence, clearly holding Emperor Jiang in the highest esteem.

Eldrin (Person Name) fell silent, taking a long moment to collect himself. As expected of 1 who defied the heavens to attain immortality in the late ancient era—merely by pioneering the method of Ascension Vein Creation, Jiang Huang had already proven himself worthy of being called a Transcendent Prodigy.

This extraordinary talent shook the ages, perhaps ranking among the foremost even when counting all those who had ascended to immortality throughout the eternal history of the Violet Realm.

Dorian finished speaking, his gaze resting on the 2 as he said, "Seeing you today feels like catching a glimpse of Emperor Jiang's shadow from ages past."

"If 1 day you can ascend as immortals and leave this realm hand in hand, there might truly be some hope of eradicating the source of this great calamity."
