Chapter 657 Eastern Desolation Immortal Alliance (Organization) Summons

On the day the Vast Heaven Sword (Divine Artifact) was forged, the entire Heaven's Spine Mountains (Location) were swept by raging winds and gathering clouds.

A sword radiance more dazzling than the sun soared into the heavens, illuminating the void across a million-mile expanse. Boundless noble qi converged upon that immortal sword, forming a divine halo of sublime magnificence.

As the churning tribulation clouds receded, Magnus the Virtuous Lord finally elevated this immortal sword to the ranks of Pure Yang Immortal Swords by harnessing the power of his Haoran Dao Body.

As they witnessed the addition of another Pure Yang Immortal Sword to the Eastern Wasteland's Supreme Treasure of Pure Yang (Magic Treasure) rankings, Eldrin (Person Name) and the others revealed expressions of pleasant surprise.

With the Lifebound Pure Yang Immortal Sword (Magic Treasure) tempering his spiritual power, Magnus the Virtuous Lord (Person Name) now found his chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm unexpectedly increased by 20 percent, while his confidence in summoning the Heaven and Earth Souls had grown substantially.

At this thought, Eldrin cupped his hands in congratulation: "With the successful ascension of your lifebound immortal sword, your path to the Primordial Spirit realm is now within reach. This junior offers you early congratulations, esteemed senior."

Magnus the Virtuous Lord (Person Name) afforded a rare smile, for as his Lifebound Immortal Sword (Magic Treasure) merged with his body, the layers of tribulation energy shrouding his Nascent Soul (Cultivation Base) were faintly suppressed for a time.

Seeing this, Magnus the Virtuous Lord (Person Name) remarked, "Such renowned mountains and great rivers possess profound fortunes woven into fate. Should we succeed in restoring them, we would likely reap immense rewards."

"The origins of your The Vast Sea (Location) are also extraordinary. After the Demonic Abyss Cataclysm, you may attempt to restore it."

"I understand."

Eldrin nodded slightly; the method Magnus the Virtuous Lord employed to restore the earth veins had profoundly enlightened him as well.

However, the damage inflicted upon the water veins of The Vast Sea (Location) during its failed ascension was far more severe than that suffered by Heaven's Spine Mountains (Location), making its restoration considerably more challenging.

He still had a long road ahead before he could hope to restore the water veins of The Vast Sea (Location).

In any case, with the Pure Yang Immortal Sword in hand, Magnus the Virtuous Lord (Person Name) now stood among the most elite cultivators below the Nascent Soul realm.

Across the entire Eastern Wastelands (Location), he stood nearly invincible, second only to a handful of Nascent Soul Dao Lords (Cultivation Rank).

Among Nascent Soul True Monarchs, he could firmly secure a place within the top 5 of the Eastern Wastelands. Only a Half-Step Primordial Spirit like Maris the Sea Steader, who possessed an innate Pure Yang Spirit Treasure, could truly surpass him.

At this thought, Eldrin felt a glimmer of anticipation for the Green Abyss Sword as well.

Although the Green Abyss Sword (Magic Treasure) was not his Life-Bound Spiritual Treasure, and his cultivation level made it difficult for him to unleash its full power, once the Green Abyss Sword (Magic Treasure) was fully awakened at the cost of severe depletion, its razor-sharp edge could even pose a threat to a Primordial Spirit Dao Lord.

"Since the True Lord has successfully forged the immortal sword, I shall take my leave."

After bidding farewell to Magnus the Virtuous Lord, Eldrin flew straight toward Spirit Isle Lake, then descended directly into the subterranean waterways beneath Spirit Isle Lake.

At the sight of the Green Abyss Sword (Magic Treasure), Eldrin (Person Name) cupped his hands and said, "Might I ask, Senior, how your injuries have been faring?"

"With the aid of Pure Yang True Liquid, I've completely recovered."

The blade of the Green Abyss Sword (Magic Treasure) refracted a faint glow as he spoke calmly, "With the power I've accumulated thus far, I can only deliver 3 full-strength strikes."

“However, as long as you do not provoke a Nascent Soul demonic cultivator, I can ensure your safety.”

"I understand, Senior."

Eldrin nodded slightly. The might of the Pure Yang Immortal Sword could truly be described as earth-shattering; once unleashed at full power, it was capable of cleaving a majestic mountain range tens of thousands of meters high with a single strike.

In the face of such a peerless immortal sword, even a Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm) Dao Lord would be insignificant. It was more than enough to ensure Eldrin (Person Name)'s safety.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, several more months had passed.

That day, Eldrin was in deep meditation when a magnificent beam of light soared toward the outskirts of Verdant Chariot Mountain.

The newcomer was clad in a golden robe, his demeanor peerlessly noble. Countless Dao Patterns shimmered around him, radiant as a Primordial Divine Spirit.

The Golden Core cultivators of the Chen Clan dared not show the slightest negligence. Just as they prepared to receive the visitor, they heard the man’s booming laughter.

"Eldrin, my dear brother, I've come to see you."

The voice surged with majestic force, reaching even Spirit Isle Lake (Location) thousands of miles away.

Eldrin was jolted awake by the voice. With a hint of surprise, he withdrew his cultivation technique and stepped forward to greet them with a gentle smile.

Witnessing this, Lila couldn't help but ask Lyra, "The newcomer bears the manifestation of Dao resonance—they must have reached the Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm. When did you become acquainted with such a cultivator, my lord?"

"It is the Heaven-Shattering Cataclysm."

Lyra spoke, her brow slightly furrowed as she said, "This individual is a direct disciple of Riverlord Chang. We became acquainted back at the Eternal River Sanctuary. It's said that over a 100 years ago, he broke through to the Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm."

The visitor was, after all, an honored guest. With those words, the 3 of them flew together beyond Verdant Chariot Mountain (Location) to welcome him.

When Eldrin (Person Name) saw Huan Tianji, he smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "It has been many years. I never imagined you would break through to the Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm). I failed to offer my congratulations in person—I beg your forgiveness."

Shaking his head with a light laugh, Huantian Ji replied, "It was merely the summoning of the Earth Soul, not even grand enough for a banquet. There’s no need for such courtesy, worthy brother."

Eldrin invited Huan Tianji to Verdant Chariot Mountain, personally brewing him a cup of spiritual tea. After exchanging pleasantries, he smiled and inquired, "By the way, might I ask what brings you here, brother?"

"My purpose in coming here is regarding the calamity of the Demonic Abyss."

With these words, Huantian Ji produced an ancient scroll and handed it to Eldrin (Person Name).

His expression turned grave and solemn as he spoke, "The calamity of the Demonic Abyss concerns the very survival of humanity in the Violet Realm. We cultivators of the Eastern Wastelands naturally cannot stand idly by."

"Thus, my purpose in coming is to deliver a decree on behalf of the Eastern Desolation Immortal Alliance (Organization)."

Eldrin’s brow furrowed slightly. After a brief glance, he handed the decree to Lyra and the other.

According to this decree, in preparation for the impending calamity of the Demonic Abyss, all immortal clans above the Golden Core realm within the Eastern Wastelands must contribute both resources and manpower.

Moreover, the resources to be contributed were allocated according to the strength of each major immortal clan—the more powerful the clan, the greater the share of resources they were required to provide.

For instance, within a Golden Core Immortal Clan, every Golden Core, Early Stage (Cultivation Realm) cultivator must contribute 2,000,000 spirit stones or equivalent resources.

According to the Chen family's standards, with a total of 7 Eldrin True Monarchs, each would need to contribute their share.

Among them, Lila (Person Name), Chen Changxuan, Chen Silas (Person Name), Kael (Person Name), and Elara (Person Name)—all 5 at the Nascent Soul, Early Stage (Cultivation Realm)—were each required to contribute 1 100 Heavenly Crystals (Spiritual Object) or equivalent resources.

Eldrin and Lyra, both at the Nascent Soul, Mid Stage, were required to contribute 2 100 Heavenly Crystals or equivalent resources each.

The 7 of them alone were required to contribute resources worth 900 Heavenly Crystals (Spiritual Object), not to mention the Chen family's 3 100 1000-some cultivators.

Moreover, the Chen Clan possessed 5 fifth-grade spiritual veins: the Immortal Apricot Isle, the 8 Trigrams Isle, the Green Lotus Atoll, the Spirit Lake Atoll, and the 100-1000-Mile Untamed Wilds. Each fifth-grade spiritual vein required an allocation of 1 100 Heavenly Crystals (Spiritual Object).

By this calculation, the Chen Family would likely have to pay resources worth over 2 billion spirit stones—a price so exorbitant it could hardly be borne.

After reading it, Lyra (Person Name) couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the amount of resources we need to mobilize this time a bit excessive?"

"The resources requisitioned for the Abyssal Cataclysm are allocated based on your strength and the resources you control. Since you occupy a substantial share, naturally, you must bear a greater cost."
