Chapter 757 The Fall of Tianxuan Sect

"Allow me to divine the signs."

Eldrin spoke, then summoned the Star-Gazing Tower to deduce the precise time when the Patriarch of the Fang Clan would break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

The moment Eldrin performed the divination, the revelation struck him like a thunderbolt. To his astonishment, the Patriarch of the Fang Clan would attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm in merely 30 years.

Moreover, judging by the celestial signs, Fang Xuan's chances of successfully breaking through this time appeared quite promising.

"How could it be so soon?"

Qing Ji’s expression turned pensive as she remarked with a hint of surprise.

As the sworn enemy who had killed his son, Eldrin had long since made calculations regarding the Clan Master of the Fang family.

According to their earlier calculations, Fang Xuan's chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage were slim. Given his foundation, it would take at least 6 100 years before a breakthrough might be possible.

Yet this divination showed such drastic changes, clearly indicating the presence of a tremendous variable.

At this thought, Lila (Person Name) took a deep breath and said, "There are few things that can influence the variables of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm. Most likely, Fang Xuan has obtained a Nascent Soul Elixir or a treasure similar to it."

"That explains it." Eldrin nodded slightly, pausing in contemplation before continuing, "The Fang Clan wouldn't hesitate to offend numerous powerful foes and even annihilate multiple Nascent Soul families—most likely to purchase the Soul Consolidation Pills."

Lyra nodded upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashing in her pupils: "In that case, we must not delay any longer. Otherwise, I fear variables may arise sooner or later."

A faint smile also graced Qing Ji’s lips as she mused, “With our strength, we should indeed be more than capable of annihilating the Fang Clan.”

Upon hearing this, the group was momentarily taken aback, a flicker of astonishment passing through their expressions.

Eldrin took a deep breath. Had it not been for the Celestial Apricot gifted by the master of the Dao Palace, which allowed them to break through their cultivation ahead of time and thereby advance the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss, they might not have been able to subdue the Fang family at this moment.

And by the time the Fang family breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, I fear they will become a calamity.

At this thought, Eldrin took another deep breath. The master of the Dao Palace possessed the Heaven-Patterned Armor, a supreme treasure of celestial secrets, and must have deduced all of this as well.

If he failed to meet the master of the Dao Palace, a catastrophic upheaval would inevitably occur—1 so dire that even Eldrin would face a fatal tribulation. That calamity would ultimately require someone to sacrifice their own life to shield him from the heavenly retribution.

"Would this implicate the Fang Clan, myself, and that individual who intercepted my heavenly tribulation on my behalf?"

"The Fang Immortal Clan (Organization) of Central Province?"

Suddenly, Eldrin’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t help but take a deep breath, exclaiming,

If Fang Xuan possessed a Soul Origin Pill, there was a 90 percent chance he had procured it from the ancestral lineage of the Fang Clan in Central Province.

The Lord of the Dao Palace had calculated everything with utmost precision. By bestowing upon him the Heavenly River Immortal Apricot, he had inadvertently made him the harbinger of Fang Xuan's heavenly tribulation ahead of fate. This had irrevocably severed all ties with the Fang Clan, leaving no room for reconciliation.

The master of that Dao Palace had explicitly stated it was unspeakable at the time, indicating there must be something within that even he found difficult to articulate directly.

Upon careful reflection, if the master of the Dao Palace had remained silent about this matter, it could still be dismissed as ignorance. But once spoken aloud, it meant completely severing ties with the Fang Clan of Central Province.

"The master of this Dao Palace seems to have some connection to the ancestral bloodline of the Chen Clan from the old days, to actually have schemed against the Fang Clan of Central Province—a clan of Primordial Immortals."

"The Palace Master’s intention—does he wish for me to eliminate the great threat of Fang Xuan in advance?"

Eldrin murmured softly, then shook his head after a brief contemplation. He always felt there was more to it than that.

There might be more behind this than just the Fang Clan alone. Otherwise, the 2 Primordial Spirit powerhouses from the Fang Clan’s ancestral lineage alone would not be enough to make even a Demigod Ancestor (Cultivation Realm) like the Palace Master wary.

Even if Fang Xuan were to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, he would still need several centuries to consolidate his cultivation. By then, Eldrin's strength would have long advanced to a higher level. There was simply no way Fang Xuan could pose a fatal threat to Eldrin.

After all, he was not only formidable in strength, but also had the support of 2 Nascent Soul Grandmasters—the Pavilion Master of Feathered Wings and Dorian (Person Name).

Decades later, Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) would most likely break through to the Soul Formation Realm, utterly unfazed by Fang Xuan's formidable reputation.

Yet what truly lay behind all this, Eldrin did not know for now, though he vaguely grasped the intention of the Lord of the Dao Palace.

"The Palace Master’s intention is for me to seize this Nascent Soul Elixir?"

"In that case, I understand."

Eldrin (Person Name) took a deep breath, then said with a faint smile, "Sharpening the axe won't delay the task of cutting wood. I shall refine my spiritual power further with the immortal sword—we'll commence the endeavor 3 years hence."

"While we have this time, I shall refine a cauldron of Heavenly Dao Pills (Spiritual Object) to assist Lila (Person Name) and our clansman Kael (Person Name) in breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm."

Early the next morning, Eldrin began refining the Heavenly Dao Pill.

With his current level of cultivation, he now possessed full confidence in refining the Heavenly Dao Pill (Spiritual Object), and the process had accelerated significantly.

In just 1 year's time, he successfully refined this batch of Heavenly Dao Pill (Spiritual Object), yielding a full 4 pills.

A success rate of 4 Heavenly Dao Pills (Spiritual Object) per batch indicated that he was now capable of attempting to refine sixth-rank Pure Yang Treasure Pills, with an estimated success rate no lower than 10 percent.

After successfully refining the precious elixir, Eldrin immediately sought out Kael and Lila, presenting them with 2 Soul Consolidation Pills.

Among the True Monarchs of the clan, Kael (Person Name) was a cultivator with a triple spiritual root. Over the years, he had encountered continuous fortuitous opportunities, leading to remarkably rapid progress in his cultivation. Not long ago, he had touched the threshold of the late Nascent Soul stage.

Lila's cultivation advanced with astonishing speed. As a proud genius blessed with a Heterodox Spiritual Root, she only needed to refine her sole life-bound spiritual treasure, the 'Frigid Glaze Sword of Frozen Soul'. Her cultivation progress was nearly on par with that of a Heavenly Spiritual Root.

So she had already touched the threshold of Nascent Soul, 7th Tier (Cultivation Realm) many years prior. Had it not been for Eldrin (Person Name)'s continuous stream of fortuitous encounters along his path, she might well have reached the Great Perfection of Nascent Soul realm even earlier than him.

Both possessed the foundation of a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, with spiritual power and nascent souls of profound depth. Breaking through to the Spirit Transformation realm was as natural as water flowing downhill.

Just 3 months later, both of them successively broke through to the late Nascent Soul stage, experiencing a tremendous boost in their combat prowess.

Especially Kael, after reaching the late Nascent Soul stage, his spiritual power had become sufficient to wield the Heavenly Demon's Immortal-Slaying Sword.

With the peerless sharpness of this sword, should he strike with his full power, his strength would likely be on par with Eldrin (Person Name).

At this thought, Eldrin convened a meeting atop Verdant Chariot Mountain, gathering numerous Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the clan.

At the True Monarch Assembly, Eldrin (Person Name) noticed that in the mere span of 2 100 years, 3 new faces had joined the gathering alongside the original True Monarchs.

The 3 of them had just broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, all being the family's newly advanced Nascent Soul cultivators in the past 2 100 years. They were Chen Zuqian (Person Name), Chen Siyuan (Person Name), and the third named Chen Furou (Person Name).

The 2 individuals ahead were among the first group of 6 candidates. Both had laid their foundations on mid-grade Golden Cores and, with the full support of their clan, had ultimately broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm. Unfortunately, they had only achieved Mortal-Grade Nascent Souls.

Chen Furou was a rising star among the "Fu" generation, remarkably 2 100 years younger than Chen Fusu by lineage. Against all expectations, she achieved a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm on her very first attempt, moreover establishing a genuine Nascent Soul Foundation. This accomplishment suggested she held some promise for the future.
