Chapter 977 : The Path of Limitless Dao
"Two supreme Dao Principles can converge to form the Limitless Dao Principle [the supreme law of boundlessness and infinity]."
"But to achieve this, one must abandon the other three Dao Principles."
Eldrin Chen murmured to himself, his brow deeply furrowed in contemplation.
Whether it be the Profound Darkness True Water or the Primordial Solar Heavenly Flame, both are supreme Dao Principles. Once their Polarity [the fundamental opposing yet complementary forces of reality] harmonizes, one could reign supreme across the heavens!
This is a Dao Principle that points directly to the Primordial One Great Path.
What, then, is Limitless?
Heaven, earth, and the cosmos have boundaries; they are finite.
Even the Great Thousand Universe has its limits; it is finite.
That which can be called Limitless exists not within the confines of heaven, earth, or Cosmos, nor is it bound by the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
The Great Path is boundless, ethereal and endless; it alone can be called Limitless. Your portal to cultivation novels: audio—novel.com.
The Boundless Chaos [the primordial, formless state before creation], vast and without horizon, is also known as the Limitless [a supreme cultivation realm representing absolute boundlessness].
The Polarity Limitless Path Principles [the supreme laws governing the duality of Yin and Yang and the concept of the Limitless], which dares to take the name of the Limitless, reveals just how supremely powerful it is.
Yet, precisely because it is so overwhelmingly powerful, it is also inherently domineering, possessing an intensely exclusive nature that brooks no rivals.
Eldrin Chen's three Great Path [supreme cultivation arts]—the Primordial One Gold [the primordial essence of metal], the Myriad Things Earth [the earth that nurtures all things], and the Seed of Life [the primordial seed containing the essence of life]—all possess the potential to lead directly to the realm of the Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [a supreme immortal realm of golden perfection].
They could even advance further, potentially glimpsing the realm of the Primordial One Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [the ultimate state of primordial golden perfection]. Naturally, such paths were utterly intolerable to the Polarity Limitless Path Principles.
Although these three paths might not quite match the supremacy of the Polarity Limitless Path Principles which reigns supreme under heaven, they still held the potential to point directly toward the realm of a Path Ancestor Immortal Sage [an immortal sage who has founded their own supreme cultivation path]. Their profound mysteries made them impossible to simply abandon.
"To forsake the sharpness and resilience of the Primordial One Gold, the profound depth and enduring nature of the Myriad Things Earth, and the vibrant vitality of the Life Path Principles [the fundamental principles governing life and growth]... to focus solely on cultivating the peerlessly domineering Dual-Polarity Primordial One Path Principles [the supreme laws of the primordial duality]..."
Eldrin Chen murmured to himself, but in the end, he shook his head.
A supreme Great Path lay right before him, yet he found it difficult to choose to walk it.
The reason was simple: once he chose that path, his Primordial One Foundation [his foundational spiritual constitution, forged from primordial essence] would be rendered a wasted effort. While his combat power might increase dramatically, this new path was not necessarily perfect.
The Polarity Limitless Path [a supreme cultivation art that harnesses the opposing forces of Yin and Yang] is incomparably domineering. While those who walk this path may achieve combat prowess worthy of being called an emperor under heaven, it lacks the sharpness and resilience of the Primordial One Gold [a legendary metal embodying the unyielding essence of primordial creation], the profound solidity of the Myriad Things Earth [an earth-based divine ability representing the foundation of all things], and the vibrant vitality inherent in the Life Path Principles [the fundamental laws governing life and growth].
Although such a supremely powerful Great Path [a major cultivation system or philosophy] is peerless in its dominance, it ultimately cannot compare to the all-encompassing nature of the Primordial One Great Path [the foundational cultivation art representing the unity of all things] and the singular, unified Primordial One Limitless Path Principles [the supreme laws derived from the concept of primordial unity] that embody the Primordial One [the fundamental, undifferentiated source from which all existence emanates].
"Hmm..."
Eldrin Chen suppressed the impulse to merge the two Path Principles [fundamental laws or truths of a cultivation path]. The light of the Sun and Moon [a metaphorical or literal representation of the celestial bodies, often symbolizing duality] gradually faded from his pupils, and the Polarity Limitless Circle [a divine ability manifesting as a circle of limitless Yin-Yang energy] behind him slowly dissipated as he relinquished the Polarity Limitless Path Principles [the laws governing the limitless path of Yin-Yang polarity].
Abandoning one Primordial One Great Path stirred a flicker of regret in Eldrin Chen's heart, yet he felt no true attachment to it.
In truth, Eldrin Chen understood clearly that although this chosen path was more arduous, and the difficulty of comprehending the three Path Principles would be vastly greater.
Yet, once he fully grasped all five Path Principles, the ultimate Primordial One Limitless Path Principles he would cultivate would far surpass the power of the Polarity Limitless Path Principles that allowed one to reign as emperor under heaven.
"When Polarity [the complementary yet opposing forces, typically Yin and Yang] work in harmony, they give birth to the Polarity Limitless Path Principles, enabling one to claim imperial dominion over the world."
"If I can unify my five foundational elements into one, achieving the Primordial One Limitless Path Principles, could I then become the Ancestor of the Myriad Paths?"
Eldrin Chen murmured to himself, then shook his head with a wry smile. "Regardless of what lies ahead, the important thing is to tread each step firmly."
With those words, the two Path Principles behind him converged back into his body like a great whale drawing in the sea. An increasingly formidable aura erupted from within him.
It turned out that upon mastering the power of the Profound Darkness True Water Path Principles, he had seized the momentum to shatter a bottleneck. His cultivation base's spiritual power surged, breaking through to the Primordial Spirit 9th Tier realm.
Having cultivated to this stage, Eldrin Chen's progress in refining his spiritual power had reached its limit. All that remained was to accumulate it to its peak, after which there would be no further room for advancement.
To take the next step, he would need to transcend the Immortal Ascension Heavenly Thunder Tribulation [the cataclysmic heavenly trial required to ascend to immortality] and transform his spiritual power into the legendary Immortal Essence [the purified, transcendent energy of an immortal].
However, Eldrin Chen's physical body and Path Principles had yet to reach their ultimate potential. Moreover, he had not yet cultivated the Primordial One Limitless Path Fruit [the supreme foundational achievement for a cultivator]. Naturally, he was unwilling to undergo the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation prematurely.
With this thought, Eldrin Chen concluded his cultivation session and emerged from the Seclusion Chamber. Find thousands of chapters at www . audio-novel.com.
Stepping out, he found Nyssa Qu had been waiting for some time. Seeing him, she smiled and asked, "Husband, what were your gains from this session?"
Eldrin Chen offered a slight smile and nodded. "It proceeded smoothly enough."
"Truly!"
Delight washed over Nyssa Qu's face. She couldn't help but take his hand, saying, "With you having mastered the Profound Darkness True Water Path Principles this time, it seems the day of your immortal ascension is not far off."
"Why not press forward with unbroken momentum and continue your secluded cultivation to comprehend the Path Principles Power?"
Eldrin Chen shook his head, however, and said with a smile, "Gaining insight into Path Principles Comprehension is no simple feat. Yet for me, the foundational accumulation has long been sufficient. What I lack to truly grasp the Path Principles is but a fleeting, elusive spark of inspiration."
"Apart from divine materials like Abyssal Depths Divine Iron or Violet Flame Immortal Gold which inherently contain Path Principles, one can only rely on that ineffable moment of enlightenment. This is not something that can be forced through seclusion."
Eldrin Chen elaborated calmly, then continued with a smile, "Now, with three hundred years remaining until the next Demonic Abyss Cataclysm, I intend to use this time to settle accounts with the malevolent demons and monsters plaguing the Purple Seal Realm."
"And, in doing so, see if any hidden schemes or agents of the Outer Realm Demon God still linger within the Purple Seal Realm."
"I see."
Nyssa Qu nodded, a smile gracing her lips as she spoke, "Indeed, many demonic Patriarch within the Purple Seal Realm have committed grievous evils. Now that my husband has attained the Way, it is only right he takes charge and delivers justice for all living beings."
"It is precisely what should be done!"
Eldrin Chen smiled, offering no further words on the matter.
He emerged from his Seclusion Chamber and summoned several of the clan's younger generation who had reached the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] realm, including Ethan Chen, Literature Abyss Lu, and Withering Liana Gu.
Once the group had assembled, he handed them a roster.
Taking it, they saw the names of seven or eight Primordial Spirit Demons listed upon it.
"Clan Uncle, this is..."
Ethan Chen scanned the list and could not help but ask with a hint of hesitation.
The Primordial Spirit Demons on this roster all possessed cultivation at the Primordial Spirit Early Stage. They had plagued the Purple Seal Realm for many years, yet had remained inactive during several past Demonic Abyss Cataclysms.
This realization stirred something within the group, and they roughly guessed Eldrin Chen's intention.
Under their collective gaze, Eldrin Chen nodded and said, "The Purple Seal Realm harbors many demons and fiends, most of whom have brought calamity to the world for years. In earlier times, I was preoccupied with my own cultivation and had no leisure to eradicate them."
"Now that my path has taken initial form, it is time to rid the Purple Seal Realm of these scourges."
At this point, Eldrin Chen looked again at the list. "These individuals possess mere Primordial Spirit Early Stage cultivation. I entrust their elimination to you. I trust you will not disappoint me."
Their expressions turned solemn upon hearing this. Ethan Chen nodded firmly. "These vile creatures have plagued the world for too long. Even had you not spoken, Clan Uncle, we were prepared to move against them."
"Since you, Clan Uncle, have personally spoken, then we should not delay. Let us eliminate them swiftly."
"Very well."
Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod. Over these years, the cultivation base of Ethan Chen and the others had grown increasingly profound. Not long ago, Ethan Chen had even broken through to the Primordial Spirit 4th Tier [the fourth level of the Primordial Spirit realm, a major stage in cultivation].
With them personally taking action, it should be more than sufficient to overcome these demonic beings.
However, Primordial Spirit Demonic Cultivator [a cultivator who follows a demonic path and has reached the Primordial Spirit realm] possess formidable life-preserving abilities and can tear through the void to escape at critical moments. Actually slaying them would likely be quite difficult.
Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen retrieved the Polarity Void Mirror [a powerful magical treasure capable of manipulating spatial forces] and said, "Take my magical treasure [an enchanted artifact used by cultivators] on this journey. Ensure they do not escape with their lives." For more chapters, visit audio . novel . com for the complete novel.
