Chapter 1804 : 3 Realms Realm

Eldrin fell into contemplation, a faint sense of trouble brewing within him.

If this cosmos were not beyond the 3 1000 Immortal Domains, but lay within that Chaotic Sea, then this incarnation of Samsara would likely face monumental tribulations in its return to the 3 1000 Immortal Domains.

"Enough, overthinking serves no purpose. I should first set foot upon the path of cultivation."

Eldrin murmured softly, waiting until his physical form had matured somewhat before once again embarking on the path of cultivation, beginning to train his Martial Dao True Body.

Yes, in this life Eldrin had no intention of treading the path of immortal cultivation. Instead, he planned to harness the comprehension bestowed by his Primordial Chaos Holy Body Dao Fetus to fathom the Way of Self-Sacrifice.

In this life, Eldrin intended to comprehend the Dao of Time and Space. Since he would inevitably face the 2 Heavenly Emperors sooner or later, he decided to embrace the burden—cultivating the Path of Self-Offering without hesitation.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, once he perfected the Path of Self-Offering to the Earth Immortal and even Heavenly Immortal realms, and even created a method directly pointing toward the Great Perfected 1 realm.

If this were to be spread throughout the myriad heavens and worlds, then he would become the Dao Ancestor of this path. As the 1 who perfected this great Dao, his reincarnation body would also be blessed with immeasurable merit.

In that era, with the immeasurable merit of pioneering the path of cultivation upon him, this reincarnated self should possess ample confidence to stand face-to-face with the Dragon Emperor of Candles.

The Path of Sacrificing Oneself, along with the realms beneath it, had long been perfected by Eldrin (Person Name).

Thus, Eldrin (Person Name) cultivated with astonishing speed. He advanced unwaveringly through Body Forging, Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Divine Treasure, Dao Embryo, and finally, the Undying Realm.

In the cultivation of the first 6 realms, Eldrin pushed each realm to its absolute limit, and even surpassed those boundaries multiple times.

Only when every realm had reached a state of flawless perfection, leaving no room for further advancement, did Eldrin finally encounter a bottleneck.

It was not that Eldrin (Person Name) lacked the talent to break through to the Sacrificial Self Realm, but rather that this realm required sacrificing the "self"—offering up 1’s physical body, magical power, and cultivation as nourishment to nurture the Dao Embryo, ultimately transforming into a "new self."

Eldrin's Primordial Chaos Saint Body Dao Fetus was inherently incomparably powerful, fully comparable to a Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body at the same realm. It remained utterly impervious to calamities—even 9 Heavens Immortal Flames could not harm it in the slightest, making it fundamentally impossible to sacrifice the self.

Left with no alternative, Eldrin steeled his resolve and borrowed the Great Empyrean Immortal Sword from his father in this life, severing his Primordial Chaos Holy Body Dao Fetus with its own edge.

Only after he completely severed the Hongmeng Sacred Body and Dao Fetus, reducing himself to a mortal physique, did he begin his breakthrough into the Sacrificial Self Realm.

With his lifelong cultivation and the origin of his Primordial Chaos Holy Body Dao Fetus as nourishment, he ultimately transformed the Dao Fetus into a "new self."

"Is this... the new me?"

Eldrin murmured softly, sensing an unprecedented surge of power within himself.

This Sacrificial Realm was originally the seventh stage of martial arts, theoretically equivalent to the Ascension Realm in cultivation. Yet Eldrin felt as though he could crush immortals with a mere snap of his fingers.

Eldrin then challenged foes from all directions, testing the limits of his newfound power. To his astonishment, he discovered he could obliterate those at the Great Perfection of Ascension Realm with merely a flick of his finger.

Even when a Terrestrial Immortal Patriarch attacked with a World-Creation Artifact in hand, he withstood it barehanded and even shattered 1 of these divine treasures.

"What formidable physical strength."

"Realm of Sacrificial Ascension, this new form of mine has surpassed even the Primordial Chaos Saint Physique and Dao Fetus, possessing the bearing of 1 who stands peerless under heaven."

Eldrin murmured softly, realizing that the combat prowess of his reincarnated form had now surpassed that of his original self, which had just broken through to the Immortal Ascension Realm.

Of course, this was not because the true self lacked power, but rather because the cultivation of the Sacrificial Self Realm defied the natural order, compounded by the fact that this incarnation of Samsara possessed the Primordial Chaos Holy Body Dao Fetus as its foundation.

For this Path of Self-Sacrifice differed profoundly from cultivation at the Ascendant Immortal Realm—the strength of the "new self" manifested through sacrifice depended entirely on the power of the "former self."

If the foundation of the old self were ordinary, then the manifested "new self" would possess limited potential, its combat prowess potentially inferior to that of other immortals of the same realm.

Yet if the potential of the 'Old Self' proves truly boundless, then the 'New Self' would be capable of sweeping through all directions, rivaling even the foundation of 1 who has Ascended thrice without the slightest difficulty.

The primary reason this new self of mine was so formidable lay in the fact that the Primordial Chaos Holy Body Dao Fetus was simply too invincible—it was inherently a supreme constitution comparable to the Chaos Indestructible Body.

Such a constitution was inherently formidable, and after cultivating through the 6 realms of martial arts, the final manifestation of the 'new self'—unifying the primordial spirit, magical power, and physical body—naturally became invincible under the heavens.

Of course, Eldrin’s new self was astonishing, yet the majority of his combat prowess lay in his physical form. His comprehension of laws and the Dao fell far short of his foundational strength.

Therefore, after this breakthrough by sacrificing myself, Eldrin began to wholeheartedly contemplate the Dao of Time and Space.

After the breakthrough, the aptitude of the 'new self' became even more astonishing. It still seemed to be the Primordial Chaos Holy Body Dao Fetus, yet it had shattered some unseen limitation, gaining an infinite growth potential akin to that of the Mortal Body and the Indestructible Chaos Body. Eldrin named it the Primordial Chaos Holy Body.

With the innate talent of the Primordial Chaos Sacred Body aiding him, Eldrin's comprehension of the Dao of Time and Space grew increasingly profound. Before long, he had cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Sacrificial Self Realm, and even grasped the power of Time and Space Laws.

After comprehending the power of temporal and spatial laws, Eldrin finally grasped the path to cultivating the eighth realm of martial arts.

"I have attained enlightenment..."

"This is the true essence of the eighth realm of martial arts!"

That day, Eldrin opened his eyes from secluded cultivation, a trace of wild joy flashing across his face.

He emerged from seclusion, having finally reached new heights by creating the cultivation method for the eighth realm of martial arts.

Inner Cosmos.

Eldrin murmured softly, having finally perfected the method for the eighth realm of martial arts.

In ancient times, the Primordial Dao Ancestor, taking pity on all living beings, devised the Method of External Cosmos to aid immortals in obtaining Primordial Chaos Qi. This method harnessed the power of creation within the dimensional void to acquire the innate Primordial Qi.

Now Eldrin’s reincarnated self had devised a cultivation method for the eighth realm of martial arts: opening an inner world within the body to obtain the Primordial Chaos Qi.

This method of creating an Inner World was unprecedented. To master it, 1 must fulfill 2 prerequisites.

First, 1 must master the Way of Self-Sacrifice, discarding the old vessel to consecrate a new self.

This new self was born from nothingness, possessing greater plasticity. Moreover, with the primordial spirit and physical form unified as 1, it need not occupy the sea of consciousness or the dantian region.

Thus, the 3 dantians—the Upper Dantian (Purple Palace), Middle Dantian (Cinnabar Field), and Lower Dantian (Qi Sea)—could be emptied, creating a void within them to separate heaven and earth.

Second, 1 must comprehend the power of spatial laws.

If 1 fails to comprehend the laws of space, even with a more malleable new self, it would be impossible to open an inner world within the body.

To create heaven and earth requires boundless resources and primordial qi. If 1 were to use their own cultivation and spiritual power as the inner dantian’s fuel, even if they were drained to the last drop, it would be impossible to forge a terrestrial immortal world.

Only by comprehending the laws of space could 1 pierce through dimensional barriers, drawing upon boundless dimensional energy to carve out a magnificent ancient realm within 1's body.

Upon fulfilling these 2 conditions, the ultimate size of the world 1 could forge would then depend entirely on the cultivator's destiny and foundational strength.

Eldrin had comprehended the laws of time and space and cultivated the ultimate Body of the New Self, thus naturally fulfilling these 2 conditions.

Without hesitation, he began forging his Inner Cosmos, establishing an Ancient Netherrealm within his lower dantian.

"This realm differs from the Earthly Immortal Realm—let it be known as the World-Originating Realm."

After his breakthrough, Eldrin murmured softly, further dividing the Heaven-Splitting Realm into 3 tiers.

For within the 3 Dantians—the Violet Mansion, the Lower Dantian, and the Sea of Qi—1 could open the 3 realms: the Celestial Realm of Qian Heaven, the Mundane Realm of Red Dust, and the Netherworld of the Underworld.

He would open the Nether Ancient Realm, known as the Early Heaven Opening Stage; establish the second layer, the Mundane Ancient Realm, referred to as the Mid Heaven Opening Stage; and if he succeeded in forging the third layer, the Celestial Ancient Realm, he would be revered as having reached the Late Heaven Opening Stage.

After the 3 layers of heaven and earth have fully opened, connecting them into 1 is what is known as the Outer 3 Realms realm.

The boost from the 3 Realms' power obtained by a 3 Realms Realm expert far surpasses the external world empowerment of an Earth Immortal Patriarch.

After careful calculation, Eldrin (Person Name) deduced that even the weakest 3 Realms Realm expert should be comparable to a Great Taiyi Realm (Cultivation Realm) powerhouse.

Building upon this foundation, if 1 further comprehends the Taiyi Dao Principles and even cultivates a new true self, the ultimate peak expert of the 3 Realms Realm would likely possess combat power far surpassing that of ordinary Taiyi Realm cultivators, rivaling even the forbidden prodigies.

"This path, cultivated to this extent, can already be called a heaven-shaking great dao."

Eldrin murmured softly, a wave of emotion washing over his heart.

At this moment, enlightenment dawned within him: even if a 3 Realms realm expert abandoned martial arts to cultivate the immortal path exclusively, upon breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm, they would undoubtedly manifest the Flawless Celestial Immortal aptitude.

Of course, Eldrin would never again tread the orthodox path of immortal cultivation in this incarnation of his cycle of rebirth.

An Outer Realm of an Earth Immortal Patriarch could project power across the dimensional void to their true self, yet at most, it could only amplify the patriarch’s strength by 30 percent.

The 'Inner World' forged through the Path of Self-Sacrifice resides within 1's body, capable of channeling all its power to its creator. Thus, the empowerment this Inner World grants a cultivator surpasses that of the external world by severalfold.

Just as the Celestial Immortals who cultivate the modern method of universe creation possess combat power far surpassing that of the ancient practitioners—those Celestial Immortals and Primordial Gods who never forged their own cosmos.

To put it simply, the moment his inner world was established, the era had already begun to change without a sound.

"Sir, the times have changed."

Of course, while the path of immortality values innate talent, the Path of Self-Sacrifice demands unwavering will. Without extraordinary courage and determination, 1 would likely struggle to advance far along this arduous path.

For those with spiritual roots, the path of immortality proves far more accessible.

Yet no matter what, the Path of Sacrificial Ascension reigned supreme among all cultivation methods of the same realm. Once this truth spread, it would ultimately shake the very foundations of the world.

Moreover, after creating his inner world, Eldrin's path forward had gradually become clear, and he had gained some insight into the cultivation method for the ninth realm of martial arts.

After the 3 realms converged, those who reached the 3 Realms Realm had ascended to the pinnacle of the world, deserving to be called peerless prodigies of this era.

"To advance further, 1 must now comprehend the power of spatial laws, merging those 3 Realms into an inner universe."

Eldrin murmured softly before resuming his secluded cultivation.

With the Inner World now established, the cultivation methods for the Earth Immortal Realm, the Celestial Immortal Cosmos, and even the Transcendent Immortal Domain—all of which similarly involved world-creation—could already serve as meaningful references.

Eldrin (Person Name) need only extract the essence, then refine and perfect it according to the Path of Self-Sacrifice. In time, this would inevitably yield methods to ascend to the Cosmic Realm, and even to open up an Immortal Domain.

Now that he had just stepped into the Heaven-Opening Realm, he was in no hurry to perfect the techniques of the Ninth Realm. There would be plenty of time to refine them in the future.

In the years that followed, Eldrin began to undertake continuous secluded cultivation of the Trinity Arts. In what seemed like a fleeting moment, 1 million years had passed.

As time flowed on, after 1 million years finally reached their end, Eldrin succeeded in opening up the 3 Realms. With his supreme divine power, he pierced through all 3 Realms, breaking through to the unprecedented 3 Realms Realm that had no predecessors in all of history.

"Upon first stepping into the Realm of 3 Realms, he was already invincible in the mortal world."

Eldrin murmured softly. After breaking through the 3 Realms Realm, instead of immediately continuing his seclusion to refine the Inner Universe Method, he emerged to pay a visit to the Supreme Elder of the Celestial Barren Sanctuary.

The Ancient Barren Ancestor had cultivated to the Celestial Immortal realm, ranking among the most formidable powers in this cosmos. Eldrin engaged in a sparring match with the Ancient Barren Ancestor, emerging victorious after exchanging over a 100 moves.

Eldrin was not surprised by this. Having broken through the 3 Realms, the power within his body now harbored divine energy of unprecedented magnitude. With this strength bolstering his form, he was more than capable of confronting even Celestial Immortals.

In this cosmos, the Primordial Qi had long since vanished. Even the Celestial Venerable of the Ancient Barrens, with his cultivation only at the Third Heavenly Immortal Realm, could not harm the Primordial Chaos Holy Body in the slightest—despite wielding a Primordial Treasure in his assault.

"To face a Congenital Treasure barehanded and hold your ground—your strength is such that it borders on invincibility, even when measured against the vast expanse of this cosmos."

The Ancient Wasteland Patriarch was defeated by Eldrin (Person Name), his heart filled with both shock and terror.

He knew this junior was blessed with unparalleled talent, yet he never imagined such staggering brilliance—achieving such terrifying accomplishments in just 1 million years.

At this thought, Patriarch Tianhuang sighed with emotion and said, "With such profound cultivation, you truly live up to the legendary constitution. Perhaps 1 day you might indeed lead us to ascend, departing from this doomed universe."

Ascension?

Eldrin murmured softly, unable to resist asking, "Ancestral Master, as 1 of the most ancient beings in this universe, you must know countless hidden truths unknown to others. I humbly beg for your guidance."

Elder Tianhuang nodded, then spoke, "This universe is immeasurably ancient, and even I know little of its mysteries."

"However, according to ancient records, this universe was forged by the Creator Deity, originating from a realm known as the 3 1000 Immortal Domains."

It is said that 3 billion 7 100 million years ago, the Creation Deity, in pursuit of breaching the supreme Great Perfection Realm, propelled this very cosmos forward, journeying all the way to the depths of this primordial chaos to seize the opportunity to impact the Great Perfection Realm.

"Alas, the Primordial Deity failed, ultimately perishing within that boundless heavenly tribulation. Even this very cosmos was wounded by the cataclysm."

"At this point, this universe is not far from destruction—I fear it can sustain for no more than 10 million years."

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this. In 10 million years, this universe would face destruction—a conclusion that aligned closely with his own deductions.

According to his calculations, this universe was on the brink of destruction and would completely collapse in 9,670,000 years.

"A universe forged by an 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal, adrift within the Primordial Chaos Sea—this is likely to prove rather troublesome."

Eldrin murmured softly, "Even with my extraordinary foundation and the fact that my Primordial Chaos Saint Body can defy the suppression of the chaos across 3 1000 immortal realms, surviving in this Chaos Sea would likely be incredibly difficult."

Unless Eldrin (Person Name) could comprehend the Dao of Time and Space, using it to break through to the ninth realm of martial arts and carve out a vast, boundless space-time universe within his body, only then might there be a glimmer of hope.

"If I truly succeed, using the inner cosmos to bear all living beings of this realm, there might still be a sliver of hope."

Eldrin murmured softly before relaying this information to the Ancient Wasteland Patriarch.

Upon hearing this, the Heaven-Withering Patriarch couldn't help but reveal ecstatic delight, exclaiming, "A universe within 1's body, bearing the profound wonder of all living beings."

"If you truly succeed, you shall ascend to the higher realm with all living beings of this universe—a boundless merit of immeasurable virtue."

Eldrin nodded and spoke calmly, "The cultivation method of the Inner Universe requires expending quite a few resources."

Hearing this, the Ancient Barren Patriarch declared resolutely, "This realm was forged by the World-Forging Deities, and their legacy treasures remain hidden across the major sacred lands. I believe every major sacred land would be willing to lend you their aid."
