Chapter 1096 : The Ruthless Contention of Cosmic Laws

"These two Great Path are far too formidable, pointing directly to the realm of a Path Ancestor Immortal Sage [an existence who has mastered a fundamental law of the cosmos and attained sagehood]. They are among the Great Path where the struggle for authority is most brutal and intense. Over countless eons, numerous Great Encompassing Immortal Lord [immortals who have attained the highest realm of cultivation] have perished because of this."

As he spoke to this point, a faint glimmer flashed in the eyes of Prison-Suppressor Child.

He hailed from an immortal sect of the Nether Abyss Purgatory Sea, and naturally had received guidance from a master. His choice of the Prison-Suppressor Path was also motivated by a desire to avoid such a brutal road.

Eldrin Chen listened quietly, his pupils involuntarily trembling slightly.

His Primordial One Limitless Path Principles were composed of five supreme Path Principles [fundamental laws that form the basis of a cultivator's power]: 'Primordial Solar', 'Profound Darkness', 'Myriad Things Earth', 'Primordial One Gold', and 'Life'.

If one day he wished to break through to the realm of a Path Ancestor Immortal Sage, he would inevitably have to contend for the authority of these five Great Path Authority [the sovereign control over a fundamental cosmic law].

This was an unbearably harsh truth, causing Eldrin Chen's heart to sink with a heavy weight.

Even if Eldrin Chen did not initiate such a struggle, once he broke through to the Great Encompassing Realm [the highest realm of cultivation], trouble would likely seek him out regardless.

This was the nature of contending for Great Path Authority. If he had no desire to advance further, it would be one matter. But as long as he continued on his cultivation journey, this trouble would inevitably find him sooner or later.

"The Great Path... is perhaps even more merciless than I imagined." Support the author by reading on http://www . audio-novel.com.

Eldrin Chen let out a sigh, and after a long while, shook his head once more. "Enough. I am merely at the Ascendant Immortal Realm [the foundational stage for true immortals] now. What use is there in pondering such distant matters?"

The final scroll, the 'Polarity Primordial Void Scripture', was naturally the legacy cultivation art of the Polarity Patriarch.

This art cultivated the Polarity Path Laws [the fundamental laws governing the duality of shadow and radiance]. However, it was not based on the two Great Path [supreme cosmic principles] of Supreme Lunar and Solar [the ultimate embodiments of moon and sun], but rather on the two Path Principles [core tenets of a cultivation path] of Primal Shadow [the primordial essence of darkness and concealment] and Primal Radiance [the primordial essence of light and revelation].

Therefore, the Polarity Patriarch cultivated the Lesser Polarity Path Principles [a potent, though not ultimate, expression of the shadow-radiance duality], not the Polarity Limitless Path Principles [the supreme, unbounded expression of that duality]. Even so, it was considered exceptionally powerful.

The cultivation methods recorded within this art were even more astonishing than those in the previous two volumes of the Immortal Scripture [a sacred text containing profound immortal cultivation techniques].

It contained two Divine Ability [supernatural powers granted by advanced cultivation]: the 'Polarity Life-Death Curse' and the 'Polarity Polar Light Escape'. Eldrin Chen had naturally witnessed the former.

The latter was an Immortal Rank Supreme Grade [the highest tier within the immortal realm] Escape Radiance [a technique for instantaneous flight] Divine Ability, capable of allowing a cultivator to transform into twin beams of polar light and vanish in an instant. It was a supreme Divine Ability for preserving one's life or pursuing a foe.

Had the Polarity Patriarch employed this Divine Ability back then, it was uncertain whether Eldrin Chen and Prison-Suppressor Child would have been able to slay him.

Fortunately, the Polarity Patriarch had exhausted his spiritual power at that critical moment. In his haste, he could not even muster the energy to activate the Polarity Polar Light Escape, which led to his immediate demise at their hands.

Beyond the two Divine Ability, this cultivation art also recorded the forging methods for two types of Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure [the pinnacle class of immortal artifacts]. These were, naturally, the Polarity Polar Light Sword and the Polarity Dual Poles Pearl.

The Polarity Polar Light Sword and the Polarity Dual Poles Pearl were now in the possession of the two of them. As for the crafting methods of these two Lifebound Supreme Treasure, they now served only as references for enlightenment and study.

Even so, Eldrin Chen found himself utterly captivated by these volumes of cultivation arts.

He could not help but caress the three scrolls, then spoke, "These cultivation arts are truly remarkable treasures."

Prison-Suppressor Child, witnessing this, shook his head. "These arts are indeed Extraordinary, but for me, they are merely icing on the cake."

"If you desire them, I shall not contest you for them."

"How could I accept this so easily?"

Eldrin Chen was momentarily stunned, his hand holding the three scrolls hesitating.

The value of these three cultivation arts was utterly staggering. The soul cultivation path of the Supreme Lunar Soul Refinement Art and the body tempering methods of the Primordial Solar Body Forging Technique would provide immense insights for Eldrin Chen's future cultivation of his spirit and flesh.

The Polarity Primordial Void Scripture was even more profound—a cultivation method that fused several Path Principles. It could aid Eldrin Chen in continuously perfecting his own Primordial One Limitless Immortal Scripture. Its worth, one could say, was truly beyond measure.

With these three cultivation arts in hand, Eldrin Chen was confident he could refine his own cultivation method to the Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier within a few thousand years.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing the expression on Eldrin Chen's face, Prison-Suppressor Child chuckled and said, "In this battle, it was you who slew the Polarity Patriarch. It is only fitting you take a larger share."

Witnessing this, Eldrin Chen finally said nothing more.

Picking up the remaining four scrolls of supreme-grade Immortal Scripture, he said with a smile, "Let us examine the other three."

Unlike the first, these four scrolls of Immortal Scripture were not cultivation arts.

One contained alchemical inheritance, one held forging inheritance, one detailed talisman inheritance, and the final scroll recorded a special esoteric method. Dive deeper into the Dao at audio-novel dot com.

The alchemical inheritance was quite Extraordinary, documenting the refining methods for two types of supreme-grade Immortal Pill.

The forging inheritance encompassed the crafting techniques for forty-three types of immortal artifacts, while the talisman scroll recorded the methods for creating thirty-seven types of immortal-grade talismans.

After a quick perusal, Prison-Suppressor Child shook his head. "These legacies are all decent, but aside from the Empty Clarity Pill within this Alchemy Scripture, the rest largely duplicate what is already archived within my sect."

Eldrin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. The three scrolls of Immortal Scripture documented hundreds of Immortal Pill, immortal artifacts, and even talismans. He had not expected the other's sect to possess nearly all of them.

At this thought, Eldrin Chen could not help but take a deep breath and said, "With such profound foundations, could your esteemed sect be one of the Grotto-Heaven [a superior realm of cultivation, a paradise within a cave] within the Nether Abyss Purgatory Sea?"

Prison-Suppressor Child gave a faint, enigmatic smile and replied, "Given the life-and-death bond we share, I see no harm in telling you."

"Within the Nether Abyss Purgatory Sea, there are seven great Grotto-Heaven. My sect belongs to the second-ranked among them, the Purgatory Grotto-Heaven."

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen's heart shook with sudden clarity. Now he understood why Polarity Patriarch had shown such profound shock upon seeing the Seven Ghosts Purgatory Furnace.

With this realization, Eldrin Chen could only offer a bitter smile. "Then, this Alchemy Scripture shall be entrusted to you."

"Agreed."

Prison-Suppressor Child gave a slight nod, then turned his gaze to the final scroll of Ancient Scripture.

A flicker of surprise passed through his eyes as he remarked with interest, "This secret art... it seems rather intriguing."

Eldrin Chen also examined the Ancient Scripture, and his heart immediately trembled slightly.

This final Immortal Scripture recorded an exceedingly profound and mystical [a method or technique for cultivating one's spiritual power and advancing one's realm]. Its name was the 'Heaven-Seizing Earth-Nurturing Art'.

The Heaven-Seizing Earth-Nurturing Art is an utterly astonishing secret art. Its miraculous function lies in its ability to artificially cultivate Immortal Soil [a legendary soil of supreme fertility and spiritual richness].

According to the methods recorded within this secret art, a cultivator need only find a clump of Immortal Soil and scatter it within a Spiritual Field [a field nourished by spiritual energy for growing rare plants].

Then, by setting up a Formation [a magical array or pattern] within the Spiritual Field, and gradually refining precious Spiritual Object [objects imbued with spiritual energy] rich in spiritual energy into the Immortal Soil, one can transform all the spiritual earth in the Spiritual Field into Immortal Soil.

It is said that if enough Spiritual Object are refined, theoretically, a single handful of Immortal Soil could be expanded into a thousand *mu* of Immortal Field [a field of Immortal Soil].

However, the requirements for this method are exceedingly stringent. One must possess at least Ascendant Immortal Realm cultivation to barely be capable of aiding its growth through refinement.

Furthermore, it requires an Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] who cultivates Path Principles [the fundamental laws or elements of cultivation, such as Earth, Wood, or Water] to ceaselessly refine it day and night using the secret art.

"Though the method is demanding, its ability to nurture Immortal Soil is such that even if presented to an Earth Immortal Blessed Land [a paradise realm of Earth Immortals], it would be worthy of being a treasured heirloom,"

Prison-Suppressor Child shook his head, speaking with profound gravity. "This method would likely be considered quite precious even within my Purgatory Grotto-Heaven [a grotto-heaven realm associated with purgatory]."

Eldrin Chen, however, was unwilling to abandon it. After a moment of contemplation, he suggested, "How about this: after we leave, I will purchase a sheet of Primordial Unity Golden Foil Paper [a special paper used for recording profound arts] and make a copy of it. What do you think?"

"That would be acceptable."

Prison-Suppressor Child gave a nod. While the Primordial Unity Golden Foil Paper was exceedingly precious, exchanging it for this cultivation method was a worthwhile trade.

With that matter settled, the two of them finished distributing the hundred volumes of Immortal Scripture.

Their gazes then turned to the remaining treasures, and smiles of genuine delight spread across their faces.

Unlike the Immortal Scripture, which would require considerable time to fully digest and comprehend, these tangible treasures were the true gems that could bolster their strength in the immediate future. Published by (audio-novel.com). All rights reserved.
