Chapter 1753 : Forging the Indestructible Divine Body

For those with a Path Embryo [the foundational seed of one's cultivation path] below the seventh grade, it is possible to cultivate at most one Treasure Body [a physical constitution forged from rare treasures]. A seventh-grade Path Embryo has the potential to cultivate an Indestructibility [the state of being unbreakable and everlasting] Spirit Body [a constitution of pure spiritual essence].

Those who have opened the Ninefold Heaven [the nine celestial heavens, a profound cultivation milestone] possess an extremely high chance of cultivating an Indestructibility Divine Body [a constitution imbued with divine power]. As for the Saint Body [a saintly constitution of supreme purity and power], it is far too formidable; it requires opening the Ten Great Divine Treasuries [the ten supreme divine repositories within the body] and forging a Supreme Path Embryo [a path embryo that surpasses the ninth grade] to achieve.

This avatar had opened the Nine Great Divine Treasuries and nurtured a Nine-Grade Path Embryo. Eldrin Chen sought out nine types of peerless, world-transcending treasures, ultimately cultivating one of the most supreme Divine Body.

"An Indestructibility Divine Body,"

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, continuing his cultivation. Unconsciously, he had already reached the perfection of Indestructibility.

Without further delay, he directly began to assail the Sacrificial Self Realm [a realm where one sacrifices the self to achieve a higher state of being]. He consolidated the foundation of his entire Path Fruit [the fruit of one's cultivation path, representing its culmination] 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 perilous in the extreme. Even with his pinnacle-level Celestial Immortal [a high-ranking immortal] 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 (audio-novel.com).

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

These marvelous techniques encompassed all seven cultivation realms. Some were methods to increase foundational depth, some enhanced the probability of a successful breakthrough, and others were designed to reduce the difficulty of advancement.

Eldrin Chen integrated these marvelous techniques into the Sacrificial Self Path. Instantly, he felt the Sacrificial Self Path had become significantly more refined and complete.

Next, he had this avatar discard its cultivation and start anew. This time, the path of body tempering was even more perfected. After cultivating the Martial Path True Body, a single arm possessed the colossal strength of one hundred thousand Jin-weight [one Jin-weight equals zero point five kilograms].

A single arm with the divine might of one hundred thousand Jin-weight had reached the theoretical limit of the Body Forging Realm. Advancing further 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 Foundation of the Path that surpassed the Ninth Grade. Then, it opened the Ten Great Divine Treasuries and forged the Supreme Path Embryo. Furthermore, it cultivated the supreme Invincible Saint Body and broke through to the Sacrificial Self Realm with Immortal-Slaying Combat Power.

"It rivals the Triple Ascendant Immortal Foundation," Eldrin Chen noted inwardly.

Yet, Eldrin Chen once again severed the avatar's cultivation, discarding all its power, and began the cycle of cultivation anew.

Thereafter, Eldrin Chen repeatedly cultivated the Sacrificial Self Path, experimenting with divergent paths. He cultivated the Fire Fiend [a malevolent entity born of pure flame], contemplated the Dao of Vast Righteousness, and on numerous occasions severed and rebuilt the Divine Treasury from scratch.

Thus, hundreds of thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye, until one day, a flawless Immortal Radiance blossomed from the depths of Returning Abyss Heaven. A figure that shook the heavens and earth sacrificed everything.

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

"The Seven Realms of Sacrificial Self hold no more secrets for me."

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

After hundreds of thousands of years of comprehension, his Sacrificial Self Path had reached perfection. The moment this avatar completed the Sacrificial Self process, it possessed combat power unrivaled within the Ascendant Immortal Realm.

At this stage, he had reached the very end of the Sacrificial Self Path. From here, the only orthodox paths forward were either the Fleshly Body Sanctification of the standard immortal way, or he would have to forge an entirely new method.

Eldrin Chen had no intention of having this avatar tread the Path of Fleshly Body Sanctification. Instead, he planned for this avatar to continue contemplating the Sacrificial Self Path, seeking the possibility of creating an Eighth Realm of Martial Path.

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 draws very near."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, then emerged from his seclusion and returned to the Returning Abyss Grotto-Heaven.

In the mortal realm, Eldrin Chen emerged from his secluded cultivation. Exquisite Jiang was overjoyed and spent a tender period of time with him before finally asking, "How were the gains from this session of secluded cultivation?"

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

After listening, Exquisite Jiang nodded, unable to contain her delight as she said, "It seems then that the future prospects of this Sacrificial Self Path are truly boundless."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod of agreement and happily shared many of his insights and realizations with Exquisite 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 remaining until the Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic cosmic event that reshapes the world]. I wonder if anyone in our clan wishes to enter this tribulation?"

Exquisite Jiang, having anticipated his question, replied promptly, "Verdant Edge has a strong-willed and competitive nature. He intends to use the Path Tribulation [a personal trial faced when advancing one's cultivation path] as an opportunity to break through to the Celestial Immortal Realm."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed slightly.

Generally speaking, direct disciples of a Grotto-Heaven [a blessed realm and major power base for cultivators] rarely personally initiate a Great Tribulation. This was because the Great Tribulation operated at a relatively lower level of cosmic significance. Even if one could successfully trigger it, there was no guarantee of ultimately cultivating the Triple Primordial Unity Foundation [an exceptionally stable and powerful foundational cultivation state] through it.

Furthermore, such individuals, backed by a Grotto-Heaven, did not need to worry about others obstructing their path. They could attempt to charge into the Celestial Immortal Realm at any time they chose.

For a direct disciple of a Grotto-Heaven like Alistair Ye, who had already achieved the Triple Primordial Unity Foundation, personally descending to participate in a Great Tribulation was somewhat beneath their station—like using a priceless treasure for a mundane task.

Exquisite Jiang discerned Eldrin Chen's thoughts and shook her head. "Because the Kalpa Tribulation [the immense cosmic cycle of destruction and rebirth] draws near, this Great Tribulation [a period of immense calamity and upheaval] will be unlike any other."

"From what I know, the number of Triple Primordial Unity Foundation [cultivators who have achieved the foundational state of unifying the three primordial energies] preparing to enter this tribulation is likely no fewer than ten, far exceeding other eras."

"Oh?"

Eldrin Chen calculated silently and realized many powers were still maneuvering, seeking to nurture more Celestial Immortal [immortals who have ascended to the celestial realm] to strengthen their foundations before the Hundred Tribulations Rebirth Opportunity [the rare opportunity for rebirth after enduring a hundred tribulations] arrived.

Considering this, Eldrin Chen spoke, "Then let Literature Abyss and Fate Birth and the others enter the tribulation. This Great Tribulation should rightfully remain under the dominion of our Human Race."

Upon hearing this, Exquisite Jiang smiled faintly. Eldrin Chen's three disciples were all peerless geniuses of the Triple Primordial Unity Foundation.

His eldest disciple, Alistair Ye, had even stepped into the Forbidden Domain [a legendary and perilous realm of cultivation]. Such an existence was potent enough to be a central figure even within a Path Tribulation [a tribulation related to one's cultivation path], let alone the Great Tribulation where they would be nearly invincible.

With these three entering the fray, they would likely face even the direct heirs of the Great Encompassing Ancient Sect without a trace of fear.

Thinking this, Exquisite Jiang said, "Then I shall go and make the arrangements."

"There is no need for haste just yet."

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

As his words fell, Eldrin Chen retrieved a treasure vase shimmering with the light of Polarity.

"The Innate Primordial Energy Vase of Heaven and Earth," Exquisite Jiang spoke, a note of pleasant surprise in her voice. "Have you accumulated enough Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [the supreme, primordial energy of creation]?"

"Yes."

Eldrin Chen nodded. A single strand of Innate Primordial Chaos Violet Aura 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 possessed five strands of Primordial Chaos Violet Aura in his grasp.

To elevate the Primordial Energy Vase of Heaven and Earth to the realm of an Innate Ancient Treasure [a treasure born from the primordial chaos of creation] required at least six strands of Primordial Chaos Violet Aura. Eldrin Chen had already used one strand previously to advance this treasure to a Middle-Grade Innate Treasure. With these five additional strands, it was finally sufficient.

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

As the Innate Primordial Chaos Violet Aura fused with the Primordial Energy Vase of Heaven and Earth, one after another, new Innate Path Patterns [the fundamental, natural laws of the cosmos] began to gestate and manifest within the treasure vase.
