Chapter 1803 : Primordial Holy Body Dao Fetus

"Greetings to you both."

Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod and calmly invited the 2 to step into the grotto-heaven.

It turned out that these 2 were none other than the Sovereigns of Antiquity and Future, 2 of the 3 Human Sovereigns from the former Minor Cosmos of the mortal realm.

It must be admitted that the 3 Human Emperors who emerged from the Netherworld Microcosm back then were all exceptionally rare geniuses among humankind.

The 3 of them rose through the Heavenly Tribulation, slaying several rare and formidable foes, ultimately breaking through to the flawless Celestial Immortal realm.

Alas, after their breakthrough, the 3 lacked the foundational heritage of the Chen Clan. Their cultivation progressed at an ordinary pace, resulting in their cultivation realms stagnating at the First Heaven Immortal Stage even after over 3,000,000 years had passed since the Great Dao Calamity.

Given the current circumstances, it would likely take them over 2 million years to break through to the Second Heaven of the Celestial Immortal realm.

Getting down to business, after the Ancient Emperor and the Future Emperor took their seats, they both turned to Eldrin and asked, “Your Majesty, you’ve summoned us today—may we ask what this is about?”

Eldrin understood clearly that he had received the legacy of the Celestial Mourner's Human Sovereign from the Minor Universe in his youth, obtaining the Minor Universe's supreme treasure of humanity—the Human Sovereign Sword. It was for this reason that the 2 acknowledged him as the Human Sovereign of the remnants from the Netherworld's Minor Universe.

To this, Eldrin accepted it with composure. After studying the 2 carefully, he remarked, "In recent years, I've attempted to comprehend the Dao of Time and Space, yet it contains countless abstruse complexities that defy easy understanding."

"Thus, I have specifically invited both of you here to seek guidance on the Dao of Time."

The Dao of Time?

Emperor Sugu turned his head and exchanged a glance with Emperor Weilai upon hearing this.

After a moment of thoughtful silence, the 2 finally smiled and said, "It would be our honor to discuss the Dao with Your Majesty."

In the years that followed, Eldrin resided within the Abyssal Grotto, engaging in profound discourse with 2 Celestial Immortals who had mastered the Dao of Time.

The Ancient Emperor and the Future Emperor possessed astonishing innate talents, with an even more extraordinary comprehension of the Dao of Time. They were natural prodigies destined to cultivate the Great Path of Temporal Laws.

1 cultivated the Path of Antiquity, while the other pursued the Dao of the Future—both were branches upon the great river of Time.

Amidst the discourse with the 2 individuals, Eldrin experienced a profound enlightenment, feeling immensely enriched. At last, he began to grasp subtle insights into the cultivation of the Dao of Time.

"The Dao of Time truly lives up to its name as the supreme Dao. Even its branches—Retracing the Past and Peering into the Future—can be regarded as boundless Great Daos, reaching all the way to the realm of Dao Ancestors and Immortal Sages. How profoundly unfathomable!"

After the discourse on the Dao concluded, Eldrin could not help but remark with deep emotion.

Upon hearing this, both Su Gu and Future Great Emperor gave a slight nod.

As the saying goes, the Great Dao numbers 3 1000 paths, and each may lead to enlightenment—meaning that mastering any 1 of these 3 1000 avenues is enough to reach the realm of the Dao Ancestors and Immortal Sages.

But in truth, the 3 1000 Great Daos remain a metaphorical number, for the Great Dao is boundless and limitless. Each Great Dao holds infinite possibilities, capable of diverging into countless laws, rules, and Dao principles.

Yet these laws, rules, and Dao principles all hold potential for further advancement. By pushing them to their absolute limits, 1 could ultimately derive new Great Daos.

In the path of fire, there exist the Pure Yang Celestial Flame, the Solar True Fire, the Primordial Chaos Immortal Fire, the Netherworld Demonic Blaze, and so forth.

The Great Dao of Time can also branch into various supreme principles such as Antiquity, Future, Present, Chronos, and Hour. When cultivated to their ultimate extent, these Great Dao principles hold boundless possibilities.

Of course, aside from the 3 1000 Great Daos, the vast majority of Daos could hardly be considered Chaos Daos. At best, 1 could cultivate them to the Great Perfection Realm, yet it remained exceedingly difficult to advance further to the realm of the Dao Ancestor Immortal Sage.

Yet in theory, should there be an unprecedented prodigy, 1 capable of pioneering a path never before seen in all of history, and cultivating a minor Dao to its absolute extreme—continuously refining and elevating it—such a path could ultimately transform into a primordial Chaos Dao, unparalleled since time immemorial.

Indeed, even a minor and ordinary strand of law power, which at its inception could not even be considered a rule, if continuously refined and sublimated through transformation, may ultimately evolve into a supreme Dao that rivals the Great Dao of Time itself.

Hence, a saying circulates throughout the 3,000 immortal realms: "There is no hierarchy among Daos, no supreme Great Dao—only the supreme cultivator."

"Discussing the Dao with you both today has been immensely enlightening."

"These remaining items, I bestow upon you both as a token of gratitude."

After the discourse on the Dao concluded, Eldrin felt he had gained considerable insights. With a faint smile, he retrieved several innate treasures and presented them to Emperor Sugu and Emperor Weilai.

The moment they laid eyes on the rare treasure, both of them felt a faint tremor in their hearts.

The innate treasure Eldrin retrieved was of extraordinary value. Though it held little use for Eldrin himself, for early-stage Celestial Immortals like them, each piece was a priceless treasure beyond measure.

This gave the 2 of them pause. Instead of immediately claiming the treasure, they hesitated and declined.

"This treasure is far too precious; the 2 of us are unworthy of it."

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) smiled faintly and said, "There's no need to be so formal. I still have quite a few of these innate treasures in my possession."

"If the 2 of you feel uneasy about this, why not guard the Chaotic Abyss on my behalf? Consider these rare treasures as your compensation."

The Ancient Emperor and the Future Emperor both paused briefly upon hearing this before accepting the rare treasure with a grateful nod. "Our sincere thanks," they said in unison.

Eldrin (Person Name) nodded slightly upon hearing this, offering no further words.

Since the fall of Daoist Shenyuan, 2 of the 5 Celestial Immortals from the Shenyuan Grotto-Heaven had fled and scattered. The remaining 3, shaken by the events, sealed their mountain in seclusion. The Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) had now seized control over 70-5 percent of the Heavenly Dao Source Artifact's authority in the Western Qi Shenyuan Sea.

The Chaos Cave Realm, however, required a substantial workforce to operate. With the 2 Celestial Immortals from the Divine Abyss Cave Realm no longer guarding it, the Chen Clan now faced a shortage of manpower.

With Eldrin and the Future Great Emperor now guarding that realm, the family could spare 2 Celestial Immortals, allowing their celestial elders to devote more energy to cultivation.

Seeing the 2 agree, Eldrin couldn't help but smile faintly before personally escorting them out of the grotto-heaven.

Before parting, the Future Emperor pondered briefly, then finally retrieved from his sleeve a divine stone shimmering with the light of ages. Handing it to Eldrin, he said:

"Since Your Majesty seeks to comprehend the Great Dao of Time, I possess a rare treasure that may offer some assistance."

"This is..."

Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly as he spoke involuntarily, "A supreme-grade Taiyi Marvel—the Stone of Eons."

The Future Great Emperor nodded, then spoke, "This is the primordial essence bestowed upon me by the Heavenly Dao at the end of the small universe’s demise."

"I had intended to integrate it into the Mirror of Seclusion, but over the years, fate has granted me other opportunities. This object no longer holds much use for me, so I shall bestow it upon you."

Eldrin (Person Name) fell into a brief, contemplative silence upon hearing this. After a moment, he cupped his hands and said, "Then I offer my gratitude."

With those words, Eldrin took out another mid-grade innate treasure and exchanged it with the Future Great Emperor.

Strictly speaking, a mid-grade innate treasure holds far greater value than a superior-grade Taiyi rarity. However, time-attributed treasures are exceptionally rare, making their worth difficult to quantify. It cannot be definitively said that Eldrin got the worse end of the deal.

After seeing off the 2 Great Emperors, Eldrin resumed his secluded cultivation.

Eldrin continued to contemplate the Stone of Ages, and his comprehension of the temporal dao principles advanced by leaps and bounds. In merely 1 1000 years, he had cultivated the power of innate dao principles.

But at this step, Eldrin discovered that the principles of time and space were gradually merging, forming an unprecedented strand of space-time power.

This Great Dao was truly astonishing, actually comparable to the power of the Primordial Chaos and Infinite Dao Principles, faintly showing signs of standing as an equal.

But at that very moment, Eldrin discovered that his Primordial Chaos rules had begun continuously suppressing the Great Dao of Time and Space, hindering his comprehension and making it difficult to advance any further.

The temporal law born from the convergence of time and space was truly too formidable. Even the Primordial Chaos Wuji law could not fully suppress it, thus hindering the growth of this Great Dao.

Eldrin murmured softly, his gaze tinged with a solemn intensity.

At this moment, Eldrin faintly sensed that should he choose to walk the Path of Time and Space, it would undoubtedly prove extraordinarily arduous.

Not only would the Primordial Chaos rules impose suppression, but once 1 cultivated to the Quasi-Sage Realm, they would inevitably draw the attention of the 2 Heavenly Emperors—Zhu Long (Primordial Dragon) and Shi Huang (Primordial Phoenix).

The Dao of Time has been mastered by the Celestial Emperor Zhulong, while the Dao of Space has been comprehended by the Primordial Phoenix. At the culmination of these 2 paths now stand 2 beings of Celestial Emperor-level stature.

"Even if I continue down this path of cultivation, with 2 Heavenly Emperors still in this world, I cannot complete the final transcendent leap to attain the realm of the Dao Ancestor and Immortal Sage."

"Moreover, with the suppression of the Chaos Wuji Rules, my attempt to integrate the powers of time and space and master the Great Dao of Time and Space will undoubtedly be exceptionally arduous."

Eldrin murmured softly, lost in deep contemplation.

Time stands supreme, while Space reigns as king.

And if time and space were to merge as 1, 1 would surely become invincible under the heavens.

To be fair, having witnessed the might of the Dao of Time and Space, Eldrin coveted such power immensely, unwilling to relinquish this Great Dao lightly.

"This path is rugged and treacherous, destined to shake the heavens and upheave the earth."

"I have already attained the Path of Primordial Chaos, there is no need to recklessly cultivate this Great Dao."

"Perhaps... a different approach is in order..."

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured softly before finally producing 2 dazzling immortal fruits from his sleeve.

Both immortal fruits were enveloped in primordial qi—1 wreathed with the power of temporal reincarnation, while the other brimmed with boundless sacred radiance.

Innate Saint Embryo Fruit, Innate Samsara Fruit.

"With the Primordial Saint Embryo Fruit as its foundation, it reshapes a peerless foundation for the next life, thereby comprehending the Great Dao of Time and Space."

"By reincarnating through the Primordial Reincarnation Fruit, 1 can sever the subtle threads of karma, enabling a new cycle unhindered by the limitations of 1’s current foundation—untraceable even by the most profound divinations."

"Thus, even if this Reincarnation Body meets with mishap, it will not bring calamity upon the True Self."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, falling deep into contemplation.

A moment later, he steeled his heart and consumed an Innate Samsara Fruit, using it to generate a wisp of soul essence capable of severing karmic ties.

He then fused this soul strand with the Primordial Sacred Embryo Fruit, further integrating it with a wisp of Primordial Primordial Purple Qi, before finally casting it into the cycle of reincarnation.

This wisp of divine soul, in its cycle of reincarnation, underwent the baptism of the Great Path of Samsara until it completely severed the power of karma. After converging with the Primordial Mother Qi, it soared into the boundless cycle of reincarnation.

Boundless chaos, infinite dimensions, and countless heavens.

In a magnificent great cosmos, within a resplendent holy land bathed in immortal radiance, a towering figure stood before a delivery room.

A long while later, a baby’s cry pierced the silence.

The heavens bloomed with boundless auroras, while upon the earth countless golden lotuses unfurled. Stars fell like rain across the firmament, and endless phantasmal forms of celestials and deities offered blessings, as if the entire cosmos itself was rejoicing at this infant's birth.

Heavenly radiance descended, golden lotuses bloomed from the earth, stars fell in showers, and immortals offered their blessings...

Gazing at the celestial phenomena filling the skies, the majestic figure revealed an expression of astonished delight: "My son, born with such extraordinary portents, may very well possess the potential to become a Heavenly Emperor."

Just then, the delivery room door swung open. A figure emerged and exclaimed with delight, "Your Majesty, Her Ladyship has given birth—it's a boy!"

"Excellent! Excellent!"

The man was ecstatic and walked in, overjoyed.

A long while later, the man examined the infant's cultivation base and couldn't help but exclaim, "An innate holy physique and dao embryo, born with the cultivation of a Nascent Soul Dao Lord—could it be that my son is the reincarnation of a mighty being?"

"However, such extraordinary talent risks lacking proper tempering. It would be best to sever part of her primordial foundation and let her restart her cultivation from the beginning."

When Eldrin (Person Name) slowly awoke from his deep slumber, it took him a considerable while to comprehend his current circumstances.

This cosmos was an immensely vast major universe. Although Eldrin's current cultivation level was insufficient, through various data calculations, he deduced that the diameter of this universe likely exceeded 10 billion light-years.

A magnificent grand cosmos, with a diameter of at least 10 billion or even hundreds of billions of light-years, must have either been naturally conceived by the primordial chaos or forged by an 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal. It now stands on the verge of transforming into a celestial domain.

"However, the cosmic spiritual energy here is far more turbulent, and the Great Dao appears fragmented and incomplete. Either the ancient immortal who forged this cosmos has fallen, or this universe is approaching its end of days."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, once more examining his own innate aptitude.

This incarnation's aptitude was truly astounding. Born with an Innate Sacred Body and Dao Fetus, it had further merged with the Primordial Primordial Purple Qi and the Primordial Mother Qi from the cycle of reincarnation, ultimately transforming into that unprecedented Primordial Sacred Body and Dao Fetus.

The aptitude of the Primordial Chaos Holy Body Dao Fetus was truly astonishing. Eldrin, with his vast wealth of experience, had to admit he had never even heard of such a constitution. He only understood that it was likely even more formidable than the Innate Holy Body Dao Fetus.

Even compared to the Primordial Indestructible Body, such a constitution would likely be no less formidable.

However, the innate talent of this Reincarnation Body was far too astonishing—born with the cultivation base of a Nascent Soul Dao Lord, it left even his parents utterly astounded. Fearing that he would lack tempering and trials, they thus severed all his cultivation, forcing him to start his training anew from the very beginning.

And this family background seemed to be anything but ordinary.

Within this fragmented greater cosmos, there are a total of 20-4 celestial domains, each governed by a sacred sanctuary.

The star domain he hailed from was known as the Primordial Desolation Star Domain. His father was a powerhouse at the Ninth Tribulation Taiyi Realm, and their clan even possessed an Ancestor whose might rivaled that of a Celestial Immortal.

Due to the extreme scarcity of Primordial Qi, this universe possessed only 20-4 Celestial Immortals—the 20-4 Heavens’ Supreme Ones. For the Chen Clan of Tianhuang to claim 1 among them demonstrated the truly astonishing depth of this great clan’s heritage.

Yet even with 20-4 Celestial Immortals, no 1 in this cosmos possessed the ability to leave this universe.

Legend has it that beyond the fractured cosmos lies a desolate sea of chaos, where even a Celestial Immortal Sovereign would be utterly annihilated upon setting foot. Since ancient times, not just 1 but multiple Celestial Immortals have ventured into its depths, yet none have ever returned alive.

"Even a Heavenly Immortal would be annihilated in an instant—the primordial chaos beyond this cosmos is so overwhelmingly dense."

"Could it be that I am no longer in the 3 1000 Immortal Realms, but within the Chaos Sea?"
