Chapter 1894 : A True Spirit's Calculated Awakening

It is a pity that there is only one True Spirit Imprint [a unique spiritual brand left by a powerful being, capable of awakening latent divine abilities]. Moreover, before breaking through to the Primordial One Imperial Lord [the realm of a supreme lord who has unified their primordial essence], Eldrin Chen could not obtain another True Spirit Imprint, making it a less than optimal choice to use it to awaken these two Divine Ability [a supernatural power cultivated through profound arts].

According to Eldrin Chen's thoughts, this True Spirit Imprint would be better saved for the future, to be used to awaken one of the eighth or ninth Innate Acupoints [the body's natural energy nodes, which can be refined into sources of immense power] into a True Spirit Divine Ability [a divine ability of the highest order, awakened by a True Spirit Imprint].

With this in mind, Eldrin Chen slowly rose to his feet. After calculating for a moment with his fingers, he could not help but smile and say, "This seclusion has already lasted one hundred thousand years. Only three hundred thousand years remain until the end of this kalpa."

"It is time to return and step into the realm of the Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [the ultimate stage of immortal cultivation, representing a perfect, all-encompassing golden existence]."

Eldrin Chen smiled faintly and then walked out from the Seclusion Chamber [a specially prepared chamber for deep meditation and cultivation].

At this moment, Exquisite Jiang had been waiting for some time. Seeing him emerge from the Seclusion Chamber with a radiant glow, a smile graced her features. "It seems I am to become the wife of a Great Encompassing Immortal Lord [a title for a cultivator who has reached the Great Encompassing Golden Immortal realm]," she said.

Eldrin Chen gave a gentle smile, taking Exquisite Jiang's hand. "My lady will not only be the wife of an Immortal Lord [a title for a powerful immortal cultivator]," he said, "but in time, you shall also be an Empress."

Upon hearing this, Exquisite Jiang did not say much, but a profound warmth blossomed within her heart.

Not long after Eldrin Chen ended his seclusion, Nyssa Qu and Gentle Deer also emerged from theirs. This period of cultivation had yielded immense gains for Nyssa Qu, who had now successfully cultivated the True Spirit Primordial Spirit [a divine ability that refines one's spiritual core to a state of true spirit purity].

Eldrin Chen was not surprised by this. Having refined the Path Source [the condensed essence of a cultivator's lifelong cultivation path] of the Three Souls Imperial Lord, it was entirely within expectations for Nyssa Qu to achieve the True Spirit Primordial Spirit.

Most crucially, Nyssa Qu had already assimilated the Chaos Genesis Energy [the primordial creative force of the cosmos]. Once her metamorphosis was fully complete, barring unforeseen circumstances, she would undoubtedly emerge as a monstrous prodigy with a Three True Spirit Foundations [a legendary cultivation base formed from three distinct True Spirit foundations].

It was rather a pity for Gentle Deer. Even after refining the top-grade Innate Heavenly God Object [a divine object born of heaven and earth] known as the 'Nine-Colored Immortal Jade' [a legendary jade radiating nine divine hues], she still failed to forge a True Spirit Foundation [the ultimate foundation for a cultivator's spiritual core]. Her combat prowess had only increased by a modest margin.

Seeing that everyone had emerged from seclusion, Eldrin Chen spoke without delay. "Since all have concluded their cultivation, let us return. I must still attain the Great Encompassing [the Golden Immortal realm of omnipresent awareness] before this Kalpa Tribulation [a cataclysmic cycle of cosmic destruction and renewal] concludes."

Upon hearing his words, the group nodded in unison, their faces alight with joy as they followed Eldrin Chen on the journey home.

The outward journey had been fraught with constant battles, consuming vast stretches of time. The return flight, undertaken at full speed, proved far swifter.

They traversed the Vast and Boundless Chaos [the primordial, formless expanse preceding creation] and exited the Chaos Heaven Abyss [a chasm of chaotic energies at the edge of the cosmos] in a mere thirty thousand years. After several more millennia of travel, they finally arrived at the 'Returning Abyss Heaven' [the Celestial Realm of the Returning Abyss], which lay just beyond the borders of the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the myriad immortal realms].

Upon returning to the Returning Abyss Heaven, Eldrin Chen first ensured the realm remained secure and undisturbed. He then turned to Exquisite Jiang and said, "The ascension of the Returning Abyss Heaven into a full-fledged Immortal Domain [a sovereign realm governed by immortal laws] requires further preparations."

"While time yet remains, you should return and invite any clansmen with the potential to reach Great Encompassing to witness the ceremony."

"A sound plan,"

Exquisite Jiang agreed with a nod. Observing another's path to Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [the Golden Immortal realm] was a rare and invaluable Opportunity and Fortune [a chance encounter with great destiny]. For those with true ambition, such an event was indeed not to be missed.

With this thought, Exquisite Jiang utilized the power of the Returning Abyss Pearl [a mystical pearl connected to the profound depths of the abyss] to return immediately to the Vast Azure Heavenly Domain.

Only after watching Exquisite Jiang depart did Eldrin Chen turn his gaze to survey his own Returning Abyss Immortal Domain. After so many years, as he beheld it once more, Eldrin Chen discovered that the diameter of the Returning Abyss Immortal Domain had now surpassed eight hundred billion light-years.

This revelation left everyone profoundly astonished. It was generally understood that the Universe [the personal cosmos cultivated by an immortal] of an ordinary Eight Tribulations Ancient Immortal typically spanned a diameter of merely one hundred billion light-years.

An Universe measuring eight hundred billion light-years across was not merely larger; its volume exceeded that of a typical Eight Tribulations Ancient Immortal's cosmos by a factor of hundreds.

"It likely has not yet reached its limit,"

Eldrin Chen murmured softly as he contemplated the Universe before him.

As the master of Returning Abyss Heaven, he possessed an intimate understanding of this cosmos's latent potential. He estimated its ultimate diameter could very well surpass one trillion light-years.

The reason it had not yet attained that peak was simply that Eldrin Chen's cultivation progress had been too swift, and the Universe's expansion had struggled to keep pace.

"The rate of converting Chaos Water [primordial water from the Sea of Chaos, a source of immense energy] is somewhat slow, and this location is not ideal either,"

Eldrin Chen whispered. Without delay, he commanded the Returning Abyss Heaven to cleave through the Sea of Chaos [the primordial, formless expanse between realms], steering it away from the Three Thousand Immortal Domains and towards the distant Sea of Chaos Fringe.

Thus they journeyed for tens of thousands of years, traversing a distance of approximately three million Path [a fundamental unit of cosmic distance in the cultivation world], before finally coming to a halt.

A distance of three million Path was sufficient to require an ordinary Ancient Immortal Great Power three million years of arduous travel to cover. This location was situated beyond the fringes of the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the core realms of the immortal world], yet not so distant as to be remote. For Eldrin Chen, it was a fitting choice.

The vast majority of Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [the pinnacle realm of immortal cultivation] established their Immortal Domain [a personal realm created and governed by a powerful immortal] at roughly this distance from the Three Thousand Immortal Domains.

To venture further would mean encountering numerous Chaos Lair [dangerous, untamed regions of primordial chaos] of the fifth grade or higher, and potentially even entering the territories of sixth-grade, top-tier Great Encompassing Chaos Lair. With Eldrin Chen's current strength, it was inadvisable to anchor his Immortal Domain so deeply within such perilous lands.

At this distance, the concentration of Sea of Chaos Water [the primordial, energy-rich substance from which all things are born] was already astonishingly potent, more than sufficient—indeed, abundant—for Returning Abyss Heaven [Eldrin Chen's personal immortal domain] to undergo its ascension here.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen anchored Returning Abyss Heaven within this expanse of the Immortal Domain. He then began to channel his power, compelling Returning Abyss Immortal Domain to voraciously inhale and exhale the surrounding Sea of Chaos Water.

Given Eldrin Chen's present cultivation base, the speed at which he could catalyze Returning Abyss Heaven to convert Chaos Water was naturally prodigious. In a mere thirty thousand years, he had replenished Returning Abyss Heaven to its absolute limit.

By now, the diameter of Returning Abyss Heaven had surpassed one trillion light-years.

"That should suffice,"

Eldrin Chen murmured. He glanced back over his shoulder and saw that Exquisite Jiang, Nyssa Qu, Lila, Violet Consort Yan, and the others had been waiting for some time.

Farther away, Imperial Sovereign Jiang [the supreme ruler of the Jiang lineage], Energy Abyss Chen [a powerful patriarch of the Chen clan], Ethan Chen [a young prodigy of the Chen clan], Ao Hong [a mighty dragon], and the other Ancient Immortals [beings who have cultivated for countless ages] all watched the ceremony with solemn expressions.

Adhering to a principle of discretion, Eldrin Chen [the protagonist, a powerful cultivator] had invited only a few trusted confidants to witness his breakthrough to the Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [the pinnacle realm of immortal cultivation].

With a slight nod, Eldrin Chen addressed the assembly. "The ascension of an Immortal Domain [a cultivator's personal pocket dimension] is a matter of profound gravity. Please withdraw to observe from a distance of one Path [a vast cosmic distance, often measured in light-years]."

Upon hearing his words, the gathered figures all retreated with grave countenances.

Gazing upon the Returning Abyss Heaven [his celestial abode, a realm of profound mysteries] below, Eldrin Chen drew a deep breath and finally commenced his breakthrough.

"*Hummm—*"

In that instant, Eldrin Chen marshaled the full power of his cultivation foundation. With supreme force, he pierced through the fabric of infinite dimensions, his consciousness reaching out to touch an indescribable, unknown realm.

It was a shifting, flowing river, seemingly woven from the confluence of fate and fortune. It coursed through the endless Space-Time [the fundamental framework of reality], brimming with unpredictable, transformative power.

"The River of Destiny,"

Eldrin Chen murmured, a flicker of awe gleaming in his eyes as he beheld the Long River [the legendary, eternal stream of fate].

Behold, within this vast and boundless Long River [the metaphysical river representing the flow of fate and time], countless tributaries surged and intertwined, each radiating with dazzling power as they crisscrossed one another.

Among them, one River of Destiny [the personal lifeline of fate belonging to an individual] shone with exceptional brilliance. It flowed as wide and mighty as a great river, coursing inexorably through innumerable Destiny [the predetermined course of events for a being] tributaries, ultimately converging with that grand River of Destiny.

"That is my River of Destiny."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a flicker of astonishment lighting his eyes.

He observed his own River of Destiny closely and discovered that along its path, it intersected with hundreds, even thousands, of other River of Destiny streams.

Yet these other River of Destiny streams now appeared exceptionally dim, their Destiny power seemingly devoured by his own.

"Zhuyin, Soaring Sky Imperial Scion, Frost Sparrow Holy Spirit, Blazing Prison Holy Spirit, and also Three Souls Imperial Lord…"

Eldrin Chen whispered, comprehending in an instant the origins of these River of Destiny.

These River of Destiny intersecting with his own, it turned out, belonged to the Eight Tribulations Ancient Immortal [an immortal who has survived eight great heavenly tribulations] he had slain during this Kalpa Tribulation [a cataclysmic era of cosmic upheaval and conflict].

Their Destiny had crossed paths with Eldrin Chen, only to be extinguished by his hand.

Among the powerful ones, the River of Destiny [the metaphysical river representing an individual's fate and fortune] of figures like Soaring Sky Imperial Scion and Three Souls Imperial Lord still retained a sufficient reserve of Destiny [the predetermined course of events and fortune in one's life] power.

However, the River of Destiny of far more individuals had been utterly drained, their allotted fate and fortune completely devoured by the River of Destiny of Eldrin Chen.

"So this... this is the true nature of the Destiny Heavenly Pass [the legendary barrier one must overcome to transcend the Great Encompassing Realm]," he murmured.

Eldrin Chen whispered softly to himself, a look of profound realization dawning upon his features.

He understood now that, save for the exceedingly rare Child of Destiny [an individual born with an extraordinary, preordained fate], the vast majority of living beings possessed no Great Encompassing [the supreme cultivation realm] destiny within their allotted fate.

To break through to the Great Encompassing Realm and shatter the legendary Destiny Heavenly Pass, one must slay a sufficient number of Destiny rivals and devour their Destiny power.

Only by severing all enemies whose Destiny intertwined with one's own, by consuming enough of their Destiny power to nourish and expand one's own River of Destiny, could one finally break the Destiny Heavenly Pass.

"If that is the way of it..."

"Then let it be shattered!"

With this ultimate comprehension, Eldrin Chen immediately marshaled all his power. It coalesced into a colossal, heaven-veiling hand that plunged directly into the churning currents of his River of Destiny.

In that instant, he seized the segment of the River of Destiny [the metaphysical river that charts the predetermined course of all lives] that belonged to him, striving to wrench it free from the river's flow.

Yet, from within the River of Destiny, a tremendous force of suction suddenly surged forth, resisting Eldrin Chen's attempt to sever this portion of the River of Destiny.

"You seek to stop me from shattering Destiny [the preordained fate or course of events]?"

"Impossible!"

Eldrin Chen's eyes turned icy. In that moment, he channeled the full might of his cultivation base to its absolute limit.

The River of Destiny shuddered violently, but in the end, Eldrin Chen tore his segment free with sheer, unyielding force.

The portion of the River of Destiny that belonged to Eldrin Chen instantly transformed into a torrent of immense Destiny power, merging with his very being and becoming one with him completely.

"*Hummm—*"

And in that very moment, Eldrin Chen felt it—an invisible shackle within him shattered.

Destiny.

Destiny [the predetermined course of a being's life] is the inborn fate of a person. Within this Chaos [the primordial, formless state before creation], aside from innate Chaos Fiends [demonic beings born from the primordial chaos], in principle, no one should be able to set foot upon the Great Encompassing Realm [the supreme realm of cultivation, encompassing all things].

For Post-Heaven [born after the formation of Heaven and Earth] living beings—be they Divine Spirits [innate spiritual beings], the myriad demons, or even the Human Race—reaching the Primordial Unity Realm [the realm of returning to the primordial oneness] is already their limit. They lack the destined fate to tread upon the Great Encompassing Realm.

To take this step, the only way is through a complete Heaven-Defying Fate Alteration [a supreme divine ability that defies the heavens to alter one's predetermined destiny].

How can one perform a Heaven-Defying Fate Alteration and truly grasp one's own Destiny?

The sole method is to pluck one's own Destiny from the River of Destiny [the metaphysical river that flows with the threads of all beings' fates].

From then on, one's life is no longer dictated by Heaven. One transcends the predetermined fate and fortune, no longer a plaything of the pitiful Destiny.

After Eldrin Chen severed the River of Destiny and fused its essence with his own Destiny, he finally shattered the Destiny Heavenly Pass [the heavenly barrier of destiny]. Henceforth, his life was his own to command, not Heaven's to decree.

His cultivation realm soared. His spiritual power, his cultivation base, and all his foundational strengths seemed to undergo another immense enhancement. An indescribable force surged into his body.

"Path Union!"

At this moment, Eldrin Chen resolved to first achieve Path Union [the unification of one's cultivated path with one's very being].

For ordinary individuals, the Path Union realm is as difficult to reach as scaling the heavens themselves. Yet for Eldrin Chen, it was a matter of course.

He pushed his cultivation base to its absolute limit. In a single instant, he pierced through the Endless Chaos and stirred the vast, primordial expanse of the Primordial Chaos Great Path Sea [the foundational sea of chaotic energy from which all creation is said to have emerged].

"BOOM!"

A crack of eternal light split open across the Heavenly Vault [the dome of the sky, often seen as the boundary of the mortal world].

Eldrin Chen looked up. The radiance of Immortality and Indestructibility [the state of being unbreakable and eternal] cascaded down, drawing upon an infinite torrent of Great Path Origin [the fundamental source energy of the cosmic laws].

Five supreme Great Path [cosmic laws or principles that govern reality]—Primordial Solar, Profound Darkness, Source Earth, Life, and Mixed Metal—roared down like an ocean. They poured into the Returning Abyss Seal before surging into Eldrin Chen's very being.

These five supreme Great Path intertwined with the five Great Path he himself cultivated. They merged and complemented one another, their essences fusing into a perfect, seamless whole.

In that very moment, Eldrin Chen gained partial authority over these five supreme Great Path.

"So this... is the Great Path Authority [the power to command a portion of a cosmic law]?"

Eldrin Chen murmured to himself. He attempted to channel the power of the five Great Path, immediately sensing the earth-shattering divine might he could now command. The power of any single one of these five Great Path was sufficient to annihilate even a Three Souls Imperial Lord with terrifying ease.

He then attempted to intertwine five strands of Great Path Authority [the supreme authority over a fundamental cosmic principle], weaving them together to manifest the Chaos Limitless Great Path [the Divine Ability of Boundless Primordial Chaos]. Instantly, it stirred an even more astonishing power.

This power was truly earth-shattering, even surpassing the limits of the Great Encompassing Golden Immortal Early Stage [the initial stage of the Great Encompassing Golden Immortal realm].

"This power..."

Eldrin Chen murmured, divine light blazing within his eyes.

Yet, at that very moment, Eldrin Chen sensed a trace of strain. He knew this was because his Great Path [his supreme cultivation art] had not yet integrated the Innate Indestructibility Spirit Light [the Primordial Indestructible Spiritual Radiance] and had not fully transformed into a truly complete Innate Great Path [a Primordial Great Path cultivation art].

If the Chaos Limitless Great Path could not complete its metamorphosis within a certain timeframe, the authority he now held would slip from his grasp.

Therefore, to truly master this portion of authority, he still needed to refine the Innate Indestructibility Spirit Light and allow his Great Path to undergo its final, necessary transformation.

With this realization, Eldrin Chen did not hesitate for a moment. He began to mobilize the power of his Great Path Authority, using it to catalyze the ascension of the Returning Abyss Heaven [the Heaven of the Returning Abyss].

"BOOM!"

In that instant, the vast expanse of the Returning Abyss Heaven erupted with a deafening, thunderous roar.

In that instant, the vast expanse of Returning Abyss Heaven began to tremble violently. An endless torrent of Sea of Chaos Water [the primordial, formless waters from which all creation emerges] poured inward, being devoured by the Returning Abyss Heaven with a ravenous hunger.

One after another, the magnificent Heavenly Domain [a celestial realm within an immortal's domain] began to expand at a breathtaking pace.

In the blink of an eye, the diameter of the Returning Abyss Heaven surpassed one million billion light-years, and it continued to swell and grow with Extreme Speed [a divine ability granting immense velocity].

Countless streams of Chaos Water were transformed into Immortal Spirit Essence [the foundational spiritual energy of an immortal domain], which in the next moment coalesced into vast lands, majestic mountains, and winding rivers.

Within this newly opened Immortal Domain [the personal realm of a powerful immortal], countless World-Opening Marvel [rare treasures born during the creation of a world] and currents of Innate Energy [energy present since the dawn of creation] were scattered everywhere. Every corner was now filled with a desolate yet profoundly potent Innate spiritual energy [the purest form of energy, untouched and primordial].

An immeasurable amount of time seemed to pass before the Seventy-Two Layered Heavens [the seventy-two celestial strata forming the core structure of a supreme immortal domain] within the Returning Abyss Heavenly Domain finally stabilized completely. Its size had increased by a factor of tens of millions, if not more.

"Innate Spiritual Essence!"

At this moment, Eldrin Chen gazed upon the Returning Abyss Immortal Domain and could not help but reveal a flicker of astonishment.

He saw that within the vast Returning Abyss Immortal Domain, there were actually twelve strands of Innate Spiritual Essence [the primordial spiritual essence from which indestructible divine lights are forged]. Each strand of Innate Spiritual Essence serves as the catalyst for synthesizing an Innate Indestructibility Spirit Light [a divine light of creation that grants unbreakable properties], with each strand representing the potential for one such light.

It must be understood that for an Immortal Domain ascended by a typical Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [a supreme immortal who has attained the Golden Immortal realm], only one portion of Innate Spiritual Essence is obtained for every Thirty-Sixfold Heaven [a set of thirty-six celestial layers] successfully opened.

And the Returning Abyss Immortal Domain [the personal realm of an immortal cultivator] currently possessed by Eldrin Chen is merely at the Seventy-Two Layered Heavens [a foundational stage of an immortal domain], yet it already holds twelve strands of Innate Spiritual Essence [the primordial spiritual foundation of an immortal domain]. This is already six times the amount an ordinary Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [a high-level immortal cultivator] would possess.

"It seems the amount of Innate Indestructibility Spirit Light [a fundamental, indestructible spiritual energy used to empower divine abilities] obtained upon the ascension of a Great Encompassing Golden Immortal to an Immortal Domain differs based on the cultivator's foundational strength,"

Eldrin Chen murmured softly to himself, then could not help but shake his head with a faint smile. If the Innate Spiritual Essence obtained were the same, what meaningful distinction would there be between a cultivator with a True Spirit Foundation [a supreme cultivation foundation] and an ordinary Great Encompassing Golden Immortal?

The Returning Abyss Immortal Domain he had opened was vastly greater in diameter than the Immortal Domain an ordinary Great Encompassing Golden Immortal Early Stage [the initial phase of the Great Encompassing Golden Immortal realm] could manifest. It was only natural, then, that he would receive a greater quantity of Innate Indestructibility Spirit Light.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen immediately drew his wandering thoughts back to the present.

He acted without delay. Channeling the Innate Spiritual Essence, he fused it with Innate Energy [the primordial energy inherent to all things]. In the blink of an eye, he had synthesized twelve radiant strands of Innate Indestructibility Spirit Light.

"It is time for the breakthrough."

With the twelve strands of Innate Indestructibility Spirit Light now in hand, Eldrin Chen wasted no time. He took five of them and began the process of merging them directly into his Chaos Limitless Great Path [his supreme divine ability, the embodiment of boundless chaos].

Although his Chaos Limitless Great Path had long since taken its final form, even reaching the True Spirit Realm [a perfected state of a divine ability], it was not yet the true, ultimate version. Before being tempered and empowered by the Innate Indestructibility Spirit Light, it remained incomplete.

To put it another way, what he possessed before was not the Innate Chaos Limitless Great Path [the primordial, innate version of the ability]. The difference between the two is as vast as the chasm between a Great Encompassing Divine Weapon [a powerful, man-made divine weapon] and an Innate Spiritual Treasure [a treasure born from the primordial chaos of creation]. Their inherent power exists on entirely different planes.

At this moment, the Chaos Limitless Great Path [a supreme divine ability embodying boundless chaos], having absorbed five strands of Innate Indestructibility Spirit Light [a primordial, indestructible spiritual radiance], finally underwent its complete and ultimate metamorphosis.

Its brilliance erupted with overwhelming intensity, its power having increased by more than double. It fused completely and inseparably with the five supreme Great Path [the fundamental cosmic laws or principles of cultivation] within the Great Path Origin [the primordial source of all cosmic laws].

Reaching this stage, Eldrin Chen understood he had now thoroughly obtained partial authority over these five Great Path. Unless attacked by someone cultivating the same specific Great Path, no one could utterly annihilate him.

After accomplishing this, Eldrin Chen turned his gaze to the remaining seven strands of Innate Indestructibility Spirit Light before him.

In terms of both cultivation base and realm, the present Eldrin Chen could truly be considered a genuine Great Encompassing Immortal Lord [an immortal lord whose power encompasses the cosmos].

Were he an ordinary Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [a golden immortal of cosmic stature], he would undoubtedly save these seven strands of Innate Indestructibility Spirit Light. They would be reserved for a future breakthrough to the Great Encompassing Golden Immortal Mid Stage [the mid-stage of the Great Encompassing Golden Immortal realm], used to elevate his cultivated Great Path to a minor mastery level, thereby gaining greater Great Path Authority [authority and power derived from comprehending a Great Path].

For Innate Indestructibility Spirit Light is exceedingly rare, and the primary focus of a Great Encompassing Golden Immortal's cultivation lies precisely upon the Great Path.

To illustrate, if the same portion of Innate [primordial] Indestructibility [the quality of being unbreakable and eternal] were used to advance one's physical body and Primordial Spirit [the foundational spiritual core of a cultivator], it might only elevate one's foundational strength within the Great Encompassing Foundation [the foundational stage of the Great Encompassing realm]. However, if used to enhance a Great Path, it would not only elevate that Path but also grant power severalfold, even tenfold greater, drawn from the resulting increase in Great Path Authority.

Faced with such a choice, the decision would seem obvious, requiring little further thought.

But Eldrin Chen was different. He understood clearly that he could not attain the Chaos Heavenly Emperor [the title of a Heavenly Emperor who rules over primordial chaos] through the method of Path Mastery [ascension via supreme comprehension of a cosmic law]. His destined path was to attain the Heavenly Emperor [a supreme sovereign ruler] through the Soul Path [the cultivation path focusing on the soul and spirit] and the refinement of his physical form. Therefore, he absolutely had to enhance both his body and his Primordial Spirit.

Without a moment's hesitation, Eldrin Chen fused all seven strands of Innate Indestructibility Spirit Light [a primordial, unbreakable spiritual radiance] directly into his physical body and Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator].

Five of these strands were absorbed by Eldrin Chen into his flesh, while the remaining two merged with his Primordial Spirit.

Upon integrating these five strands of Innate Indestructibility Spirit Light, Eldrin Chen's physical form underwent a profound metamorphosis, his Great Encompassing Physique [a supreme physical constitution] ascending to new heights. His overall power surged, effectively doubling once more.

Bolstered by the five True Spirit Divine Runes [divine sigils of immense power], this formidable physique, while perhaps not yet rivaling the raw force granted by Great Path Authority [the authority to command a fundamental law of existence], was nonetheless a force to be reckoned with.

Having fully assimilated all twelve strands of Innate Indestructibility Spirit Light, Eldrin Chen felt his strength undergo another qualitative leap. He now possessed the capability to once again undertake the monumental task of World-Opening [the act of creating a new world or realm].

Thus, Eldrin Chen glanced down at his Returning Abyss Heavenly Domain [his personal celestial realm] and made his decision. He would embark on another World-Opening to harvest more Innate Indestructibility Spirit Light. Official source: audio‑novel.com. Unauthorized reproduction is prohibited.
