Chapter 1202 : Celestial Steles of the Azure Firmament

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen's eyes flickered with a subtle shift.

He was not entirely unfamiliar with the Law Stele [a celestial stele inscribed with cosmic principles]. He recalled distantly, back within the Glazed Blessed Land [a paradisiacal realm of cultivation], Solara, the Immortal Maiden had once expounded upon the profound mysteries of these Law Stele to him.

These Law Stele were three hundred sixty-five celestial steles, born from the very fabric of the world at the dawn of creation within the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain [the Celestial Azure Heaven, a higher realm of existence].

They could commune with the boundless Law Power [the fundamental principles and forces that govern reality] of the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain. An Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] who comprehended their secrets would find their own grasp of the Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles and forces that govern reality] advancing by leaps and bounds.

Those Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm [cultivators at the peak of the Immortal Ascension stage] whose comprehension of the Laws of the Dao was vast could, through Comprehending Laws [the art of meditating upon and understanding cosmic laws] via the celestial steles, bring their own Laws of the Dao to perfect completion. There was even a chance to make an ultimate leap, grasping a sliver of Rule Power [a power transcending ordinary Laws, closer to the foundational rules of the cosmos].

Thus, even Law Immortal [Immortals renowned for their mastery of cosmic Laws] at the Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality coveted a chance to access these Law Stele.

"The Law Stele..."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, then spoke, "I shall remember this matter. When the time comes, we shall journey together to witness the gathered heroes of the Western Jue Divine Abyss Sea [the Divine Abyssal Sea in the Western Jue region]."

Having said that, Eldrin Chen continued, "My gains from this journey are not insignificant. I intend to enter seclusion to consolidate them and attempt a breakthrough into the Sky-Reaching Realm [a profound realm where one's comprehension of the Dao touches the heavens] of the Laws of the Dao."

After deciding to enter seclusion for Comprehending Laws, Eldrin Chen did not delay any further.

He returned to the Starry Glazed Realm and began to wholeheartedly delve into comprehending the power of Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles that govern reality].

Having been in the Ascending to Immortality realm for over thirty thousand years, Eldrin Chen had already accumulated profound insights into the Laws of the Dao. Coupled with the gains from his recent venture to the Western Abyss Celestial Palace, his current session of Comprehending Laws felt like a natural and inevitable progression.

In merely the time it takes for an incense stick to burn [a conventional short duration, roughly fifteen to thirty minutes], Eldrin Chen's comprehension of the Pure Yang Celestial Fire Law [the cosmic law governing the ultimate yang flame] had reached its zenith, allowing him to be the first to attain the Sky-Reaching Realm [the pinnacle stage of law comprehension].

Upon cultivating the Pure Yang Celestial Fire Law to the Sky-Reaching Realm, Eldrin Chen's mastery of this particular Laws of the Dao could be considered truly great.

The Pure Yang Celestial Flame [the ultimate yang fire born from celestial law] at this realm was flawless and seamless, approaching the very limits of its Laws of the Dao.

With such formidable Law Power [power derived from comprehending cosmic laws], Eldrin Chen only needed to cultivate steadily. Once his Immortal Essence [the refined energy of an immortal] accumulated sufficiently, he could smoothly advance to the Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm.

"The Pure Yang Celestial Flame at the Sky-Reaching Realm possesses the awe-inspiring power to incinerate all things, capable of suppressing all manner of evil spirits across the heavens," he mused.

"Even a Ghost Immortal [an immortal who cultivates through ghostly or yin-based methods] at the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm would likely not dare to face such a flame head-on."

Whispering these thoughts to himself, a flicker of profound joy surfaced within Eldrin Chen's heart.

With the Primordial Chaos Limitless Law [a supreme cultivation art of boundless potential] coalescing into a unified whole, after Eldrin Chen cultivated the Pure Yang Celestial Fire Law [a cultivation art embodying the purest celestial flames], mastering the remaining four Laws of the Dao [fundamental principles of reality that grant divine powers] became as natural as water flowing downhill.

Relying on the principle of the Five Elements generating one another, after cultivating the Heavenly Fire Law [a divine ability of heavenly flames], he then comprehended the Law of Myriad Things Earth [the Dao principle governing the stability and nourishment of all earthly things]. In merely nine hundred years, he brought it to great completion.

Then, using Earth to generate Metal, he spent eight hundred years, and the Primordial Chaos Ancient Metal Law [a cultivation art of primordial, unyielding metallic essence] also reached the Sky-Reaching Realm [a profound stage of mastery where one's power seems to touch the heavens].

After another seven hundred years, using Metal to generate Water, the Profound Nether True Water [a divine ability of profound, netherworldly waters] also reached great completion.

The final Seed of Life [a mystical seed containing the essence of life and growth], Eldrin Chen required only six hundred years to cultivate it to complete success.

Once all five Laws of the Dao [fundamental principles of reality that grant divine powers] reached great completion, the Primordial Chaos Limitless Law [a supreme cultivation art of boundless potential], under their mutual blending and complementation, finally attained the Sky-Reaching Realm [a profound stage of mastery where one's power seems to touch the heavens].

After the Primordial Chaos Limitless Law [a supreme cultivation art of boundless potential] was cultivated to great completion, when Eldrin Chen once again channeled the power of this Limitless Law [the boundless principle], he immediately felt his own strength undergo a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering increase.

If the Law Power [power derived from comprehending a fundamental Law of the Dao] of the earlier Eldrin Chen was comparable to the Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm [the advanced stage just before achieving true immortality], then the current Eldrin Chen was confident he could suppress even the Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality [the pinnacle of the mortal cultivation journey] relying solely on his Law Power [power derived from comprehending a fundamental Law of the Dao].

This was truly astonishing. One must understand that the sources of a cultivator's and an Immortal's [a being who has transcended mortality] strength primarily come from two aspects.

The first is one's foundation, and the second is one's methods.

What is referred to as foundation encompasses the Laws of the Dao [the profound principles that govern reality, akin to natural laws], the Immortal Physique [a cultivator's body refined to an immortal state], the Dao Fruit [the metaphysical culmination of one's cultivation path], and one's cultivation base. This foundation is the very root of all power.

What is referred to as means encompasses the myriad Divine Ability [supernatural powers derived from comprehending the Dao], the various secret arts, as well as Immortal Treasure [powerful enchanted artifacts], Formation [magical arrays that channel energy], and talismans.

Compared to foundation, Divine Ability, secret arts, and even immortal Treasure Talisman [a consumable talisman containing immense immortal power] are the primary sources of an Immortal's [a being who has ascended to immortality] combat prowess.

However, without a powerful foundation, even the mightiest immortal Treasure Talisman cannot be activated. The reason Eldrin Chen can wield a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [the highest grade of immortal artifact] lies precisely in his incomparably strong foundation. Therefore, foundation and means complement each other.

Returning to the main point, in the past, eight or nine parts out of ten of Eldrin Chen's strength resided in his Lifebound Immortal Treasure [an immortal treasure grown and nurtured as part of one's own cultivation], his Divine Ability, and that Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure, the Yin-Yang Dual Pole Pearl [a supreme treasure embodying the dual forces of Yin and Yang].

Now that his Primordial Chaos Limitless Law [a supreme cultivation art of boundless primordial chaos] has reached great completion, even if he were to lose his Lifebound Immortal Treasure and the Yin-Yang Dual Pole Pearl, relying solely on this Sky-Reaching Realm [a legendary cultivation realm] level Primordial Chaos Limitless Law, his power would far surpass that of an ordinary Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality [the ninth and highest tier within the Ascension to Immortality realm]. This chapter is part of a larger work available at audio-novel`com.

Coupled with his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [an indestructible physique forged from primordial chaos], his foundation has become astonishingly powerful. Within the Ascension to Immortality Realm, even without relying on external aids, he can already be considered nearly invincible.

"This Primordial Chaos Limitless Law, even if it cannot compare to Rule Power [the power to impose one's own rules upon reality], should not be far behind,"

Eldrin Chen pondered silently, estimating the formidable nature of his own Laws of the Dao.

The five types of Law Power [the power derived from comprehending a specific Law of the Dao] he cultivated were all top-tier Laws of the Dao that pointed directly to the Great Dao of the Grand Luo [the supreme, all-encompassing Dao].

Now that all five Laws of the Dao have been cultivated to the Great Perfection stage, their fusion has birthed the Primordial Chaos Limitless Law at the Sky-Reaching Realm. Its might can truly be called peerless throughout the ages.

However, Rule Power is, after all, an existence that transcends the ultimate limits of the Laws of the Dao. Even the Primordial Chaos Limitless Law at the Sky-Reaching Realm should still fall slightly short in comparison.

Yet the gap should not be vast. Eldrin Chen estimated that the Primordial Chaos Limitless Law likely possessed about eighty percent of the potency of true Rule Power, far surpassing the perfected Laws of the Dao of ordinary cultivators at the Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality.

Thinking of this, a faint smile of satisfaction touched Eldrin Chen's lips.

He cast a glance around his Cultivation Cave but did not emerge immediately. Instead, he murmured to himself with a smile, "The time for a breakthrough has come."

Having now mastered the Primordial Chaos Limitless Law, his foundation was flawless and perfectly harmonized. Advancing his Dao Fruit [the condensed essence of one's cultivation path] to towering heights was merely a matter of course. It was indeed time to break through to the Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm.

With this resolve firm in his heart, Eldrin Chen immediately consumed a Sky-Touching Pill [a supreme elixir that bridges the gap to higher realms], harnessing its vast medicinal potency to assail the barriers of the Sky-Reaching Realm.

In truth, given Eldrin Chen's current foundation and Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound and unshakable base of one's cultivation], especially after his Laws of the Dao and physical body had successively reached Great Perfection, breaking through to the Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm was as natural as water flowing downhill. He could have succeeded even without relying on a supreme elixir like the Sky-Touching Pill.

However, the Sky-Touching Pill contained immense medicinal energy. Consuming it would rapidly augment his Immortal Essence [the purified energy core of an immortal], significantly shortening the time required for his secluded breakthrough. Using it now was hardly a waste.

The moment he swallowed the Sky-Touching Pill, his body erupted with a dazzling, indestructible immortal radiance. Strands of Law Power intertwined upon it, one after another, weaving a tapestry of supreme authority.

With a resounding, crystalline crack, he finally shattered the great bottleneck of the Sky-Reaching Realm. The Immortal Essence [the foundational energy of an immortal] within his body began to surge and multiply.

In that instant, an immeasurable tide of Immortal Spirit Qi [the highest grade of spiritual energy, refined for immortal cultivation] swept forth, coalescing into a colossal vortex above his Seclusion Chamber. This maelstrom persisted for a full three hundred years.

Only when the vortex finally dissipated did Eldrin Chen perceive that the Immortal Essence within him had swelled by more than half.

"The Seventh Level of Immortal Ascension Realm, where the Dao Fruit [the metaphysical culmination of one's cultivation path] reaches for the heavens."

Sensing the explosive growth of his Immortal Essence and the profound metamorphosis of his Dao Fruit, Eldrin Chen could not help but allow a smile of profound satisfaction to grace his features. The complete novel can be found at audio-novel dot com.
