Chapter 1751 : Martial True Body

Only a select few could ever cultivate a flawless Immortal Foundation, and even they had to pay an unimaginably staggering price.

Such a tremendous cost, coupled with the fact that it would be impossible to achieve without the guidance of an immortal, makes it far more practical to directly cultivate a spiritual root for cultivation. This method is unsuitable for widespread adoption.

Of all the paths to cultivation, only Eldrin's 'Sacrificial Ascension' Art truly enables 1 to attain power rivaling celestial beings, possesses greater latent potential, maintains broad adaptability, and imposes less stringent demands on resources.

With this thought in mind, Eldrin (Person Name) ultimately turned his gaze back to the seventh volume of martial arts.

At the seventh realm of martial arts, 1 had already bridged the path to immortality for mortals, which could be considered a grand avenue to the heavens. Yet, it still paled in comparison to the method pioneered by the Primordial Dao Ancestor—the act of cleaving chaos to shape the cosmos and ascending to the celestial domain of the universe.

If 1 day Eldrin could complete the methods for the Eighth Realm, or even the Ninth Realm, and break through to the Tenth Realm of the Great Luo, this technique would become a true peerless path, comparable to the Primordial Dao Ancestor's way of creation.

No, it might even surpass the merit of the Path of Creation, for this method enables mortals to tread the immortal path—its virtue is likely more astonishing than cleaving heaven and earth.

At this thought, Eldrin withdrew his focus and stored away this martial arts technique.

Beside them, Lyra (Person Name) took in everything with a watchful eye. She couldn't help but pick up the scripture created by Eldrin (Person Name), asking with a touch of astonishment.

"Your martial arts technique is so profound. Once disseminated, it is bound to garner immeasurable merit."

"But what do you intend to do next?"

Upon hearing this, Eldrin fell into a brief contemplative silence before grasping Lyra's implication. A trace of solemnity surfaced in his gaze.

Such a profound and marvelous technique held limitless potential, yet for now, Eldrin could not widely disseminate it.

For his current strength was insufficient, and rashly spreading such an unprecedented path of cultivation would likely bring calamity rather than blessing.

After all, among the 3 1000 celestial domains, the powerful experts of the demon and god clans might not wish to see another Dao Ancestor emerge from the human race.

Seeing this, Lyra (Person Name) could not help but speak up: "Why not begin with a discreet, experimental rollout in a select few places like the Abyssal Universe? Once you break through to the Great Perfection Realm 1 day, it will not be too late to spread it across all heavens."

"Very well."

Eldrin nodded and could not help but remark, "This is the perfect time to continuously refine this method of martial cultivation."

Hearing this, Lyra (Person Name) also nodded.

Eldrin (Person Name) This cultivation method is formidable indeed, yet it clearly possesses numerous flaws.

For instance, the process of refining essence into qi in the early stages was excessively agonizing, the formation patterns and methods for forging the Dao Embryo could also be optimized, and the final Path of Self-Sacrifice had a success rate of less than 1 in 10 1000.

To fully perfect this cultivation method, it would be necessary to create specialized elixirs for each realm, exclusive array patterns and secret techniques, as well as pills and methods that increase the success rate of breakthroughs.

In truth, during the primordial beginnings, the path of immortal cultivation was fraught with uncertainty, where among hundreds of millions of practitioners, scarcely 1 might ascend to immortality.

It was only through the successive efforts of generations of sages that they developed methods and elixirs such as the Foundation Establishment Pill (Spiritual Object), the Golden Core Formation Pill (Spiritual Object), and the Nascent Soul Formation Pill, ultimately giving rise to the glorious and prosperous era of today.

Eldrin believed that by continuously refining and perfecting this method, the path of martial arts would ultimately become a transcendent great way capable of rivaling the immortal dao.

Of course, he had already drafted the foundational framework of the cultivation method. The remaining issues couldn't be discerned from mere theoretical analysis—it required actual practice. Only through cultivating this technique could he simultaneously observe its flaws and devise solutions for the myriad challenges encountered during cultivation.

At this thought, Eldrin began to speak: "Then let us start from the Return to Void Universe. Once someone achieves the Sacrificial Self Realm, we shall promote it throughout your universe."

Lyra nodded upon hearing this and said, "There’s no need to rush other places for now. Safety must remain our top priority."

At this point, Lyra gazed at Eldrin and said, "Your Path of Sacrificing to the Self, with its 10 supreme divine mysteries unparalleled in profundity—if we could master them, it would undoubtedly amplify our combat prowess tremendously."

Eldrin nodded. Within the 7 realms of the martial path he had forged—Body Forging, Qi Refining, Dao Foundation, Divine Treasure, Dao Embryo, Indestructibility, and Self-Devotion—each stage possessed its own astonishing marvels.

But the 1 with the greatest potential and the most use to Eldrin was this Divine Vault Realm.

Once these 10 great divine treasures are unlocked, they can push 1's potential to the absolute limit, granting peerless combat prowess within the same realm.

If Eldrin (Person Name) could also cultivate the 10 Great Divine Temples, it would mean merging the core essences of the Immortal Path and the Sacrificial Self Path, allowing him to wield the most formidable techniques of both disciplines.

At that time, Eldrin would undoubtedly transcend all immortals, becoming at the very least a peerless prodigy on par with the Divine Emperor and Heavenly Sovereign of that era.

However, Eldrin treads the path of immortal cultivation. To rashly practice an incomplete martial arts technique might damage his foundation—a regret that would come too late to mend.

Moreover, the higher 1's cultivation realm, the more difficult it becomes to unlock all 10 Great Divine Realms.

Given Eldrin's current cultivation level, the difficulty of opening all 10 Divine Treasures would likely be even greater than achieving the breakthrough to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

At this thought, Eldrin shook his head and said, "With a flawless Celestial Immortal foundation, the success rate of opening 10 major Divine Treasures is not high."

Upon hearing this, Lyra (Person Name) frowned slightly and said, "Then what do you intend to do?"

"Divert a wisp of soul to cultivate this Path of Self-Sacrifice."

Eldrin (Person Name) spoke slowly, "By splitting my soul to retrain in the Path of Self-Sacrifice, I can personally comprehend the cultivation of the 7 realms of martial arts."

This would not only aid in perfecting the Sacrificial Self Art, but also allow him to continuously comprehend the power of the 10 great divine treasuries. If 1 day he could cultivate the Path of Sacrificing the Self to its pinnacle, he might even create a method to merge immortal cultivation and martial arts.

"The 3 1000 Great Daos, though their paths diverge vastly, ultimately converge upon the same destination."

"I believe that 1 day, my Dharmic methods and the path of immortal cultivation shall merge into 1."

"Perhaps that very day shall be the moment I attain the Dao of Chaos!"

With this thought in mind, Eldrin began spreading the Path of Self-Offering within the Realm of Returning Abyss.

At almost the same moment, Eldrin also cast down a fragment of his soul, reincarnating through mortal flesh within the Return to Ruins Heaven.

With Eldrin's current level of divinity, even reincarnating through a mortal vessel could bestow astonishing innate gifts—born with a supreme spiritual root and a natural Dao Body.

However, to cultivate the Path of Sacrificial Ascension, Eldrin deliberately severed all ties and reincarnated as a mortal devoid of spiritual roots.

A mere mortal body, far too frail and feeble, required special attention from Eldrin. After leaving behind a sufficient amount of tiger and wolf flesh and blood, this split soul embarked upon its path of cultivation.

In the early stages of Body Forging cultivation, the essence lies in fortifying the body's vital energy and honing the growth of spiritual power—a process that presents no significant difficulties.

The only problem was that his mortal physique was far too inferior. The rate at which he refined flesh and blood was excruciatingly slow—it would likely take over a 100 years to complete Body Forging and cultivate a true Martial Dao body.

To this end, Eldrin gathered vast quantities of grains, essence of flesh and blood, and potent medicinal herbs, ultimately creating several cultivation elixirs including the Essence-Refining Pill, Qi-Blood Pellet, and 100 Herb Elixir.

These elixirs can greatly accelerate the speed of martial cultivation, reducing what would normally take 1 100 years to achieve to merely 30 years.

Still unsatisfied, Eldrin later devised numerous wondrous techniques: the Skin-Tempering Method, Bone-Fortifying Art, Blood-Replacement Skill, Sinew-Refining Technique, and Organ-Forging Method.

With an ample supply of elixirs and cultivation techniques, he forged his Martial Dao True Body within 20 years.

"80 1000 jin of brute force?"
