Chapter 1753 : Forging the Indestructible Divine Body

Beings below the Dao Embryo of the seventh grade can, at most, cultivate a single Treasure Body. A seventh-grade Dao Embryo has the potential to cultivate an Indestructible Spirit Body [a spiritual constitution of supreme resilience].

Those who have opened the Ninefold Heavens [the nine celestial layers within a cultivator's body] possess a great certainty of cultivating an Indestructible Divine Body [a divine constitution of peerless durability]. As for the Saintly Body [a legendary constitution of sainthood], its power is truly overwhelming; it requires opening the Ten Great Divine Treasuries [the ten supreme internal repositories of divine power] and forging a Supreme Dao Embryo [the ultimate embryonic form of one's Dao] beyond the ninth grade to achieve.

This avatar had opened the Nine Great Divine Treasures [a supreme cultivation art focusing on nine divine internal treasures] and nurtured a Nine-Grade Dao Embryo. Eldrin Chen sought out nine kinds of peerless, world-transcending treasures, utterly unique to the mortal realm, and ultimately cultivated one of the most supreme Divine Body [a constitution imbued with divine essence].

"Indestructible Divine Body."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, continuing his cultivation. Unconsciously, he had already reached the Indestructible Perfection [the flawless completion stage of the Indestructible realm].

He did not delay further and directly began to assail the Sacrificial Self Realm [a realm where one sacrifices one's foundational self to achieve a higher state]. He offered up the foundation of his entire Dao Fruit [the fruit of one's cultivated Dao, representing one's core attainment] and finally succeeded in cultivating the Sacrificial Self Realm.

"Success!"

Eldrin Chen whispered, yet a furrow of concern appeared between his brows.

Breaking through to the Sacrificial Self Realm was far too perilous. Even with his pinnacle-level Heaven Immortal [a high immortal realm] willpower, he had nearly failed. An ordinary person would find it utterly impossible to succeed.

"It seems the cultivation art still requires further refinement." Join our community of readers at site: audio-novel.com.

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, then surveyed the cultivation progress of this avatar. In the end, he created several hundred more wondrous techniques.

These wondrous techniques encompassed all seven cultivation realms. Some were methods to strengthen one's Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound and unshakable foundation of a cultivator's power], others enhanced the probability of a successful breakthrough, and some were designed to reduce the difficulty of advancement.

Eldrin Chen integrated these wondrous techniques into the Self-Sacrifice Path [a profound cultivation art centered on sacrifice and transcendence]. Instantly, he felt the Self-Sacrifice Path had become significantly more refined and complete.

Next, he had this avatar discard its cultivation and start anew. This time, the path of the Body Forging [the initial stage of physical tempering and strengthening] was even more perfected. After cultivating the Martial Path True Body [a supreme physique born of the martial path], a single arm-swing possessed the colossal force of one hundred thousand Jin-weight.

A divine strength of one hundred thousand Jin-weight per arm had reached the theoretical limit of the Body Forging Realm. Advancing beyond this point was nearly impossible in theory.

With this excellent foundation, the avatar's renewed cultivation progressed with even more astonishing speed compared to the previous attempt.

First, it forged a Supreme Dao Foundation [the highest possible foundation for one's Dao, surpassing even the fabled Nine Grades] that transcended the Nine Grades. Then, it opened the Ten Great Divine Treasuries [the ten legendary reservoirs of divine power within a cultivator's body] and cast the Supreme Dao Embryo [the ultimate embryonic form of one's Dao]. Furthermore, it cultivated the paramount Invincible Saintly Body [a physique of peerless sanctity and indomitability] and, with Immortal-Slaying Combat Power [combat prowess capable of slaying immortals], broke through to the Sacrificial Self Realm.

"It rivals a Triple Ascension Foundation [a foundation achieved through three successive transcendent breakthroughs]," Eldrin Chen noted inwardly.

Yet again, Eldrin Chen severed the avatar's cultivation entirely, forcing it to start the arduous process of cultivation anew, repeating the cycle once more.

Thereafter, Eldrin Chen continuously repeated the cultivation of the Path of Sacrificial Self. During this process, he experimented with divergent paths: he cultivated Fire Fiend Qi, contemplated the Dao of Harlan, and repeatedly severed his Divine Treasury to begin cultivation anew.

Thus, hundreds of thousands of years [a conventional long period of time] passed in a fleeting blur, until one day, a flawless immortal radiance blossomed from the depths of Abyssal Heaven [a profound and mysterious celestial realm], and a figure that shook the heavens and earth sacrificed everything.

He revived from decay, breaking free from a ruined husk like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, transforming into an invincible figure who strode forth.

"The Seven Realms of Sacrificial Self [the seven ultimate stages of a profound self-sacrificial cultivation path] hold no more secrets for me."

Gazing at the avatar before him, a trace of a smile flickered in Eldrin Chen's eyes.

After hundreds of thousands of years of comprehension, his Path of Sacrificial Self [a profound cultivation method based on self-sacrifice and rebirth] had reached perfection. The moment this avatar completed the Sacrificial Self [the final stage of the Sacrificial Self path], it possessed combat power unrivaled within the Ascension Immortal Realm [the realm of immortals who have ascended beyond the mortal plane].

Having reached this point, he had arrived at the very end of the Path of Sacrificial Self. From here, the only paths forward were either the orthodox immortal path of Fleshly Body Sanctification [the cultivation of the physical body to a sacred, indestructible state] or to forge an entirely new method.

Eldrin Chen had no intention of having this avatar tread the Path of Flesh Sanctification. Instead, he planned for it to continue contemplating the Path of Sacrificial Self, seeking to pioneer the possibility of an Eighth Realm of Martial Dao [a hypothetical eighth, transcendent realm beyond the established seven realms of martial cultivation].

With this thought, Eldrin Chen gathered his focus. Performing a quick calculation with his fingers, he was surprised to discover that four hundred thousand years had already passed.

"Having secluded myself for hundreds of millennia, the next Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic, world-shaking calamity ordained by fate] draws very near."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, then emerged from his seclusion and returned to the Abyssal Grotto-Heaven [his personal pocket dimension, a paradise of spiritual energy].

Yang RealmEldrin Chen emerged from seclusion, and Lyra Jiang was overjoyed. She spent a tender period of time with him before finally asking, "How were the gains from this retreat?"

Eldrin Chen informed Lyra Jiang of the situation and then said, "The Path of Sacrificial Self [a profound cultivation method focused on self-sacrifice for greater power] has been perfected. The remaining minor details can be handled by my avatars."

After listening, Lyra Jiang nodded, unable to contain her delight as she said, "It seems then that the Path of Sacrificial Self truly has boundless potential."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod of agreement and happily shared many of his insights and realizations with Lyra Jiang.

Only after a long while did he finally ask, "I have calculated the time. Now, there are only a little over two hundred thousand years left until the Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic era of fate and conflict that reshapes the world]. I wonder if anyone in our clan wishes to enter the fray?"

Lyra Jiang had long anticipated this question and replied, "Sylas has a strong, competitive nature. He intends to use the Dao Tribulation [a personal trial of one's cultivation path] as a catalyst to break through to the Heaven Immortal Realm [the realm of celestial immortals]."

Upon hearing this, a slight frown creased Eldrin Chen's brow.

Generally speaking, Grotto-Heaven Direct Descendant [the direct heirs or disciples of a major immortal sanctuary] rarely personally initiate a Great Tribulation. This is because the Great Tribulation operates at a relatively lower level of cosmic conflict; even if one can trigger it, successfully cultivating a Triple Taiyi Foundation [an exceptionally stable and potent foundational state for an immortal] through it is not guaranteed.

Furthermore, such beings have the backing of a Grotto-Heaven [a blessed realm or immortal sanctuary] and need not worry about others obstructing their path. They can attempt to charge into the Heaven Immortal Realm at any time.

For a Grotto-Heaven Direct Descendant like Ye Qingfeng, who has already cultivated the Triple Taiyi Foundation, personally descending into the Great Tribulation would be an underutilization of his formidable capabilities.

Lyra Jiang discerned Eldrin Chen's thoughts and shook her head, saying, "Because the Calamity Tribulation [a cataclysmic era of fate and destiny] draws near, this Great Tribulation [the grandest and most perilous cycle of fate] is of extraordinary significance."

"From what I know, the number of Triple Taiyi Foundation [cultivators who have perfected their foundation at the Triple Taiyi realm] preparing to enter this tribulation is likely no fewer than ten, far exceeding other periods."

"Oh?"

Eldrin Chen calculated with his fingers and realized many powers were still making their arrangements, aiming to nurture more Heaven Immortal [immortals who have ascended to the celestial realm] to strengthen their Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound and unshakable foundation of a cultivator's power] before the Hundred Calamities Rebirth Opportunity [the era of rebirth following a hundred great calamities] arrives.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen spoke, "Then let Alistair Lu, Ysander, and the others enter the tribulation. This Great Tribulation should rightfully be dominated by our Human Race once more."

Hearing this, Lyra Jiang smiled faintly. Eldrin Chen's three disciples were all peerless geniuses of the Triple Taiyi Foundation.

His eldest disciple, Qingfeng Lu, had even stepped into the Forbidden Realm [a legendary and nearly unattainable state of cultivation]. Such an existence was enough to serve as a pivotal figure even within a Dao Tribulation [a tribulation centered on the comprehension of the Dao], and once they stepped into the Great Tribulation, they would be nearly invincible.

With these three entering the tribulation, they would likely face even the direct heirs of the Great Luo Ancient Sect [an ancient and formidable sect] without the slightest fear.

Considering this, Lyra Jiang said, "Then I shall go and make the arrangements."

"There is no need for haste just yet."

Eldrin Chen shook his head and then spoke, "I shall first elevate a treasure."

As his words fell, Eldrin Chen retrieved a precious vase shimmering with Yin-Yang light.

"The Primordial Qian-Kun Primordial Qi Vase," Lyra Jiang exclaimed, a note of pleasant surprise in her voice. "Has your accumulation of Primordial Essence [the foundational, purest form of cosmic energy] reached sufficiency?"

"Yes."

Eldrin Chen nodded. A single strand of Innate Primordial Violet Qi [the supreme, innate cosmic energy of creation] required over one hundred and sixty thousand years to accumulate.

Now, with eight hundred thousand years having passed, and adding the one strand he had saved previously, Eldrin Chen now held five strands of Primordial Essence in his possession.

To elevate the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth to the realm of an Innate Ancient Treasure [a treasure born from the primal chaos of creation], at least Six Paths strands of Primordial Essence were required. Previously, Eldrin Chen had already used one strand to advance this treasure to a Mid-Grade Innate Treasure. With these five additional strands, the requirement was now fully met.

With this thought settled, Eldrin Chen immediately channeled the Innate Primordial Violet Qi, guiding it to merge into the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth.

As the Innate Primordial Violet Qi fused with the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth, one after another, new Innate Dao Patterns [natural, cosmic sigils representing fundamental laws] began to manifest and take form within the precious vase. Access the full story on audio~novel.com.
