Chapter 1750 : The Sacrificial Path to Immortality

"Sacrificial Self!"

Gazing at the two words before him, a light of unprecedented brilliance ignited within the eyes of Eldrin Chen.

Anyone who beheld this Martial Path Seventh Realm Cultivation Art would feel it was a creation worthy of the Celestial Beings themselves.

For this Martial Path Seventh Realm Cultivation Art required supreme, heaven-defying courage and boundless, unshakeable willpower to even attempt cultivation.

The Six Realms of Martial Path progressed through Body Forging, Vital Essence Refinement, Foundation of the Path, Divine Treasury, Path Embryo, and finally Indestructibility. Upon reaching the peak of this path, a cultivator's physical body, Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator], and spiritual power would have been refined to the absolute limits of the Mortal Realm.

A Martial Path Paragon at the Indestructibility Pinnacle possessed strength enough to overturn heaven and earth, capable of wrestling a Primordial Era Kunpeng [a mythical beast of immense size and power] and tearing apart a Nine Heavens True Dragon [a supreme dragon of legend] with their bare hands. Their combat prowess rivaled that of a true Flawless Immortal, earning them the title 'God of the Mortal Realm' without the slightest exaggeration.

Yet such a figure, whose talent and wisdom were in no way inferior to a True Immortal, found their path forever blocked, unable to advance a single step further due to a fundamental flaw in their foundation.

Thus, Eldrin Chen forged a new immortal path, creating this Sacrificial Self Art.

This Seventh Realm Cultivation Art involved sacrificing everything—the Treasure Body [a physique as precious as a divine artifact], the spiritual power, the physical form, even the Divine Treasury itself—all of which were comparable to the power of a 'God of the Mortal Realm'.

He would offer his lifelong cultivation as nourishment, as spiritual sustenance, to sacrifice and nurture that Path Embryo within his body, until that Path Embryo transformed into a Path Body.

Indeed, starting from the Divine Treasury Realm, Eldrin Chen had already laid the foundation for the Sacrificial Self Realm.

This Martial Path Divine Treasury Opening is divided into the following aspects: Origin Source, Vitality, Force Extreme, Primordial Energy, Soul, Dao Heart, Longevity, Celestial Mechanism, Path Principles, and the ultimate Divine TreasuryGreat EncompassingTen Great Divine Treasuries.

As long as one opens the three great Divine Treasury of Vitality, Primordial Energy, and Soul, it is possible to gestate a Path Embryo.

That Path Embryo is formed from the convergence of the three powers—Vitality, Primordial Energy, and Soul—and possesses the wondrous properties of boundless Creation Origin [the primordial essence of creation]. It is fundamentally different from a cultivator's Infant Soul [the nascent spiritual core formed during the Nascent Soul stage], for it is a true embryo of flesh and blood.

If one can open seven Divine Treasury and cultivate them to Indestructibility perfection, then the Path Embryo would be nearly equivalent to a nascent Divine Spirits [a being born of heaven and earth, possessing divine power] gestating within the cosmos.

The difference is that the Divine Spirits are born from the womb of Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy [the chaotic, primordial energy that gave birth to the universe], while the Path Embryo is forged by a cultivator's own power, devouring and refining the Creation [the act and essence of cosmic creation] of heaven and earth.

And when cultivation reaches the limit of Indestructibility Extreme, this Path EmbryoDivine Spirits will have gestated to its absolute peak. The time for its birth into the world is at hand.

Yes, a mortal body is inherently flawed; it fundamentally cannot achieve immortality.

Therefore, Eldrin Chen forged a new path, treating the first six realms of the Martial Path as the foundation for this seventh realm.

A cultivator who has perfected their Indestructibility [a state of supreme durability and resilience] would sacrifice everything cultivated over ten thousand years: their Martial Path Treasure Body [a physique forged for martial prowess], their Indestructibility Blood [bloodline essence granting unyielding vitality], their Ten Great Divine Treasuries [the ten supreme foundational energy reservoirs], their vast sea of spiritual power, and indeed their entire cultivation foundation.

They sacrifice the old self, reviving from a broken and withered husk, reborn anew from the essence of Extinction Silence [a primordial state of absolute stillness and void].

It is akin to a caterpillar breaking from its cocoon as a butterfly. The 'Path Body' [a physique born of profound sacrifice and aligned with the Great Path] that emerges from this metamorphosis would possess earth-shattering, heaven-startling potential.

The Path Body is born close to the Great Path [the fundamental principle of existence], its innate talent rivaling that of Divine Spirits [beings naturally born of Heaven and Earth]. Compared to the exceedingly rare Innate Path Body [a physique innately aligned with the Path from birth], one's physical body, spiritual power, and cultivation base undergo a complete transformation, granting the most perfect aptitude under the heavens.

"Even a mortal with the poorest aptitude, if they possess sufficient perseverance and Opportunity and Fortune [the confluence of chance and destiny], and cultivate to the Sacrificial Self Realm [the realm of self-sacrificial rebirth], could rival a Nine Heavens Divine Spirit [a supreme spirit-being] that astounds the ages. Their physical strength alone could wrestle with a Nine Heavens True Dragon [a legendary dragon of supreme power]."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, his heart stirred by these realizations.

He had a feeling: the more powerful one's Treasure Body [a physique cultivated into a treasure], spiritual power, and Divine Treasury [a foundational energy reservoir] were before the sacrifice, the more formidable one would become upon stepping into the Sacrificial Self Realm.

If one could open all Ten Great Divine Treasuries and cultivate a peerless, era-defining Martial Path Divine Body [a divine physique of the martial path], then upon entering the Sacrificial Self Realm, their power would be unprecedented. Crushing a Nine Heavens Celestial Immortal Spirit [a celestial spirit of the highest heavens] with a mere flip of the palm might not be beyond their reach.

"This path is overwhelmingly domineering, yet also overwhelmingly arduous. The potential of one who can set foot in the Sacrificial Self Realm would likely surpass even that of a Triple Ascendant Immortal Foundation [the pinnacle of immortal foundational cultivation]."

With this final thought settling in his heart, Eldrin Chen reached his conclusion.

Compared to the Immortal Path [the path of cultivating the spirit to achieve immortality], the Martial Path [the path of cultivating the physical body to achieve supreme power] is more domineering and arduous. However, anyone can cultivate the Martial Path, and from such a vast foundation, countless prodigies are bound to rise.

In truth, the world has never lacked individuals of great perseverance, immense courage, and profound talent. Sadly, limited by their Spiritual Root [the innate spiritual aptitude that determines one's cultivation potential] aptitude, these individuals have faded into obscurity and perished, their names lost to the ages.

With this Martial Path now available, Eldrin Chen believed these individuals could unleash their own brilliance. Perhaps some would even walk forth as peerless, invincible champions.

"The Seven Realms of Martial Path [the seven major cultivation stages of the Martial Path]... the supreme powerhouses of the Sacrificial Self Realm [the final realm of the Martial Path, where one sacrifices their Path Fruit for ultimate power] have already bridged the path to immortality."

"And the road that lies beyond..."

Eldrin Chen spoke softly, a slight frown creasing his brow. This chapter is provided by audio-novel-dot-com. Support the original.

In truth, upon reaching the Sacrificial Self Realm, Martial Path cultivators could already set foot upon the immortal cultivation path. They could proceed to World-Opening [the process of creating one's own inner world to break through to the Earth Immortal realm] and break through to the Earth Immortal [an immortal who has opened their own inner world] realm.

Yet, Eldrin Chen had a feeling. After sacrificing their lifelong Path Fruit [the condensed essence of one's cultivation path and comprehension], Martial Path cultivators gained supreme talent and an invincible Path Body [a physique perfected by one's cultivation path]. However, because their Path Embryo [the nascent form of one's cultivation path] had transformed into their physical form, they no longer possessed a Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core and soul essence of a cultivator].

One could say that Martial Path cultivators lacked a Primordial Spirit, or rather, their Primordial Spirit was one with their flesh.

This path was fundamentally different from the Immortal Path. For them to cultivate the World-Opening methods of the Immortal Path would be to abandon the essence for the trivial.

"How, then, should one cultivate this Eighth Realm of Martial Path?"

Eldrin Chen pondered and calculated for a long while, yet no clear path forward revealed itself.

He understood in his heart that the cultivation method for the Eighth Realm of Martial Path was comparable in rarity and profundity to the legacies of the Earth Immortal Realm. Such a path could not be forged from nothing with ease.

Even with Eldrin Chen's comprehension far surpassing that of a Great Encompassing Golden Immortal, he would need to personally walk the path, expending vast amounts of time to painstakingly explore and piece together the way forward beyond the Sacrificial Self Realm.

Of course, even with no immediate breakthrough in sight, Eldrin Chen was not disheartened.

This was because the Sacrificial Self Realm was forged from the condensation of a lifetime's cultivation. Thus, its practitioners not only possessed peerless innate talent but also combat prowess and latent potential far exceeding that of an Immortal Body.

A powerhouse of the Sacrificial Self Realm could clash head-on with the Slaughter of a Peerless Immortal Sword, suppress a Nine Heavens Celestial Immortal Treasure with bare hands, or shatter an entire great world with a single fist. Such feats were well within their grasp.

They were natural-born candidates for Fleshly Body Sanctification. If such formidable beings were to switch to cultivating the Path of Fleshly Body Sanctification within the Immortal Path, their progress would be measured in leaps and bounds each day.

"Perhaps within the Three Thousand Immortal Domains, some supreme Great Encompassing Golden Immortal or Path Ancestor Immortal Sage has also devised methods to elevate mortals to immortality," he mused.

"But for a method that allows mortals to cultivate all the way to the Immortal Ascension Realm while still possessing such astonishing potential... I fear my Sacrificial Self Path stands alone and unrivaled."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly to himself, a profound understanding dawning within his heart.

It was not that Eldrin Chen was arrogant, but because the Sacrificial Self Path [a cultivation method focused on self-sacrifice and transcendence] he had pioneered was already remarkably complete. Although its cultivation difficulty far surpassed that of the Immortal Path [the orthodox path of cultivation leading to immortality], if it were spread throughout the Myriad Heavens [the countless realms and worlds of existence], it would undoubtedly give birth to innumerable powerful experts of the Sacrificial Self Realm [the foundational realm of the Sacrificial Self Path].

Countless ancient worlds would treasure it as a priceless gem, ushering in a golden age for the Martial Path [a path of cultivation focused on martial prowess and physical transcendence] comparable to that of the Immortal Path.

If others had been able to open up similar paths, they would likely have already spread them across the myriad realms of the Myriad Heavens, and Eldrin Chen would not have remained utterly unaware of them.

And indeed, this was the truth. Within the Endless Chaos [the primordial, formless chaos beyond ordered reality], there had indeed been those who opened up mortal paths to the Immortal Path.

However, those cultivation methods possessed significant flaws. Even if one managed to cultivate into an immortal through them, they would only become false immortals of low potential. Immerse yourself in the complete world at *audio-novel.com*.
