Chapter 1805 : Realm of Cosmos

Speaking of this, the Ancient Barren Elder was reminded of something else.

He quickly rose to his feet and spoke, "Within the Celestial Barrens Holy Land, there remains a treasure—a relic left behind by the World-Forger Deity. Even I have been unable to refine it, yet I believe it may be of use to you."

As the Ancient Barren Elder spoke, a divine light flew from the depths of the dao field with a sweep of his sleeve, landing in his palm.

Eldrin glanced at it and immediately recognized it as a wondrous stone imbued with primordial chaos energy. His heart jolted violently, a flicker of astonishment and suspicion crossing his expression.

"This is..."

"This is an innate divine artifact—the Primordial Chaos Stone (Spiritual Object)!"

The Ancient Barren Elder slowly spoke, his expression profoundly grave as he said, "Legend has it that after the Creator Deities fell, most of their supreme treasures were lost in the primordial chaos, yet numerous rare wonders still remain in this realm."

"The founding ancestor of our Primordial Barren Holy Land was a direct disciple under the tutelage of the World-Creating Divine Spirit. This Primordial Chaos Stone (Spiritual Object) was the most powerful wonder he obtained after the World-Creating Divine Spirit’s fall."

Eldrin gave a slight nod upon hearing this. This piece of Primordial Chaos Stone was an exceptionally rare chaos divine material, containing 20-4 innate Dao patterns. It could be considered a top-tier innate marvel—no wonder even the progenitor of the Tianhuang Sacred Land had been unable to refine it.

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but remark, "This object is indestructible. With my current cultivation level, I can't refine it for now. But if I advance further in my cultivation, perhaps I could forge it into a Lifebound Supreme Treasure."

At this point, Eldrin took the Primordial Chaos Stone, cherishing it so dearly that he could hardly bear to part with it.

This universe was truly worthy of being a great cosmos opened by an 8 Calamity Ancient Immortal. The value of this Primordial Chaos Stone (Spiritual Object) alone likely surpassed the entire fortune of an ordinary 3 Calamity Ancient Immortal.

But to get back to the main story, in the years that followed, Eldrin emerged from seclusion and journeyed through this stretch of primordial chaos.

Within this expanse of chaos, there stood 20-4 sacred lands in total, each guarded by a Celestial Immortal of great power. However, the cultivation base of these Celestial Immortals remained only at the early Celestial Immortal stage.

Because the ancient mid-stage Celestial Immortal elders had either perished in the Quantumn Cataclysm or ventured into the primordial chaos, never to return.

The remaining individuals, unable to obtain Primordial Qi, had their cultivation stagnate at the early stage of the Celestial Immortal realm.

For this place of chaos was far too perilous; even a flawless Celestial Immortal attempting their breakthrough within that chaos would surely meet a demise with no burial ground.

However, breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm within the dimensional void would yield at most 2 or 3 strands of Primordial Qi. Relying solely on these 2 or 3 strands of Primordial Qi obtained during the breakthrough, it would be fundamentally impossible to advance any further.

Eldrin visited all 20-4 sacred lands, crossing blades with the ancestral masters of each sanctuary. Yet not once did he meet his match.

Of the 20-4 Paramount Sovereigns in this universe, nearly all were Flawless Celestial Immortals.

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured softly, letting out a faint sigh.

This universe could no longer harness Primordial Qi, making it nearly impossible to cultivate new Primordial Treasures, while all other resources were exceedingly scarce. Thus, these Celestial Immortals were all Flawed Celestials.

Yet Flawed Celestial could never break through to the Ancient Immortal realm. Without attaining the Ancient Immortal realm, venturing beyond this cosmos would mean certain death in the depths of chaos. No wonder the patriarchs of the various sacred lands were plunged into despair.

"A vicious cycle. Had I not come, after tens of millions of years, I fear no 1 in this universe would have survived."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, before finally returning to the Celestial Barren Sanctuary with a dozen or so rare treasures in tow.

This time, the various sacred lands witnessed his might and comprehended the astonishing profundity of the Inner Universe Dao. They regarded him as the sole hope for this cosmos, naturally offering the legacy left behind by the ancient 8-Calamity Immortal.

Unfortunately, the Primordial Ancient Treasures left behind by the 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal, along with the vast majority of Primordial Marvels and Primordial Treasures, had all been refined by predecessor immortals over billions of years.

Since time immemorial, countless mid-to-late stage Celestial Immortals in desperate straits have ventured into that primordial chaos, striving to carve a path to the legendary realm of immortality.

Alas, they all failed, and along with them, vast quantities of innate marvels and countless innate treasures were lost within the chaos.

Few Primordial Treasures remain to this day, and not a single powerful Primordial Artifact exists anymore. All that's left are supreme Primordial Treasures like the Primordial Chaos Stone (Spiritual Object), which cannot be refined.

However, there were only 3 of these supreme innate treasures, yet each was a truly unparalleled divine artifact.

These 3 treasures were the Primordial Chaos Stone (Spiritual Object), the Void Cosmos Immortal Gold, and the 9-Colored Immortal Marrow—all supreme-grade innate wonders, each containing 20-4 innate Dao patterns.

These 3 supreme-grade innate treasures could be refined into 3 peerless, world-shaking artifacts.

"In the future, it may be refined into a personal ultimate treasure."

Eldrin murmured softly as he stored away all 3 treasures.

Apart from these 3 extraordinary treasures left behind, the most precious items within the Ancient Immortal's Legacy were several 100 volumes of ancient scriptures.

These ancient scriptures were all texts from beyond the Celestial Immortal realm, containing myriad profound mysteries. Among them was even a method for forging an Innate Spiritual Treasure—clearly the innate Dao patterns of an Eighth Tribulation Ancient Immortal’s life-bound supreme treasure.

So many ancient scriptures proved immensely beneficial to Eldrin, instantly immersing him in wholehearted enlightenment.

In just these short few 1000 years, Eldrin had cultivated the Dao Principles of Time and Space to the Taiyi Realm, his personal power growing increasingly unfathomable.

It was at this very moment that Eldrin gained insight into the subsequent cultivation of the 3 Realms Realm.

Within this miniature cosmos, the vital energy was insufficient, making it impossible for Eldrin (Person Name) to merge the 3 realms into 1 and ascend it into an inner universe.

However, drawing upon the chaos energy from the Primordial Sea to forge an inner universe was beyond his current level of cultivation.

Therefore, Eldrin had no choice but to advance further, cultivating beyond the 3 Realms Realm to strengthen himself beyond all limits. Only then could he possibly carve out an inner universe within the Chaos Sea.

"Ordinary immortals find their cultivation reaching its limit at the Taiyi Realm. Without Primordial Qi, advancing further is impossible."

"Yet the path I worship transcends the ordinary, allowing me to advance even within the 3 Realms Realm."

Eldrin murmured softly, contemplating the path he had deduced for himself, a glint of resolve flickering in his eyes.

In his calculations, even after breaking through to the 3 Realms Realm, without opening a Celestial Immortal cosmos or merging with Primordial Qi, there still remained the possibility of advancing further.

This is the greatest advantage of the Inner World over the Outer World, for the Inner World resides within the body of a 3 Realms Realm expert, essentially functioning as the cultivator’s dantian.

The power of the 3 Realms within this dantian can nourish the Primordial True Body, while also refining the immortal's magic power and primordial spirit.

On this foundation, immortals can harness the power of heaven and earth to continue their cultivation, advancing in Dao principles, Dao fruits, and physical form—ultimately reaching the Minor Ascension Realm.

Conversely, when the Dao Principles, Dao Fruits, and physical body have all been cultivated to the Minor Completion stage, they can propel the expansion of the 3 Realms, thereby breaking through to the middle stage of the 3 Realms Realm.

Upon breaking through to the middle stage of the 3 Realms Realm, 1 could in turn nourish the physical body, Dao Principles, and Dao Fruit, enabling their cultivation to reach the Great Perfection stage.

In this manner, the Inner Universe and the cultivator nourish each other reciprocally. When the theoretical limit is attained, the power of a 3 Realms Realm expert surges exponentially—physical body, laws, and Dao Fruit all ascending to the supreme pinnacle of the Taiyi realm.

Thus, these 3 Realms Realm experts can also be divided into the Initial Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage, and even the Perfection Stage, corresponding respectively to the Early Celestial Immortal Stage, Middle Celestial Immortal Stage, Late Celestial Immortal Stage, and even the Great Perfection of the Celestial Immortal Stage.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, a perfected 3 Realms Realm expert—even without reversing to the primordial state—may not match a Great Perfection Celestial Immortal in strength. Yet, bolstered by their inner world, their power should be comparable to a Seventh-Level Celestial Immortal.

To possess such power with a mortal physique was nothing short of a myth.

You must understand, even a 12 Tribulations Forbidden Son of Heaven only possesses combat prowess at the mid-stage Celestial Immortal level. And the gap between mid-stage and late-stage Celestial Immortal is far from insignificant.

"A powerhouse of the 3 Realms Realm is likely between the eighth and ninth tiers of the immortal path, rivaling the vast majority of Celestial Immortal experts."

"If 1 reaches the Great Perfection of the 3 Realms Realm before venturing into the primordial chaos to open an inner universe, the amount of Primordial Qi obtained..."

Eldrin’s heart skipped a beat. After a brief moment of finger-calculation, he realized that if a powerhouse at the peak of the 3 Realms Realm were to create a universe within the chaotic expanse of the 3,000 Immortal Domains, they might very well forge a grand cosmos spanning hundreds of millions of light-years in diameter.

What was even more astonishing was that because the power of a 3 Realms Realm expert far surpassed that of a Half-Step Celestial Immortal, the universe they opened up was even more vast. During the process of creating the universe, they could obtain significantly more Primordial Qi.

A cultivator at the Great Perfection stage of the 3 Realms Realm, when advancing to the Inner Universe within the primordial chaos, would obtain at least 30-6 strands of Primordial Qi.

30-6 strands of innate qi, coupled with the fully mastered Great Unity Dao Principles, Great Unity True Body, and even the Great Unity Dao Fruit.

"Does this not mean that once the 3 Realms Perfection is broken through, 1's cultivation will instantly reach the pinnacle of the Celestial Immortal realm?"

Eldrin (Person Name) pondered inwardly, his heart swelling with a trace of delight.

If his calculations were not mistaken, then a being who had reached the Perfection Stage of the 3 Realms Realm would obtain several times more Primordial Qi than an ordinary Flawless Celestial Immortal, saving a tremendous amount of time spent exploring the Chaos.

Many Celestial Immortals fail to cultivate to the late Celestial Immortal stage not due to lack of innate talent or wisdom, but primarily because they cannot obtain sufficient Primordial Qi.

Moreover, venturing into the Chaos Realm during the early and middle stages of Celestial Immortality carries immense peril. Should 1 dare to explore the primordial chaos alone, the likelihood of meeting their demise amidst its unfathomable depths is overwhelmingly high.

In contrast, once a 3 Realms Realm cultivator breaks through to the Celestial Immortal stage, they immediately reach the Great Perfection of the Celestial Immortal realm, directly bypassing the most perilous early and middle phases of Celestial Immortal cultivation.

Moreover, a Heavenly Immortal who has attained perfection in the 'Sacrificial Path' and opened an inner cosmos can continuously channel chaos qi within their bodily universe. Even when venturing deep into the primordial chaos, they need never fear the exhaustion of their magical power.

It can be said that a Heavenly Immortal at the Great Perfection stage who achieves a flawless breakthrough into the 3 Realms Realm would far surpass ordinary Heavenly Immortals at the Great Perfection stage in both combat prowess and endurance. Within the same realm, such an individual could likely contend against 2 opponents simultaneously without difficulty.

"Once my Path of Sacrifice breaks through to the Innate Realm, my power will surely become astonishingly formidable."

"Alas, the powerhouses of the 3 Realms Realm had yet to reverse their innate forms. Even with the support of their Inner Cosmos, their strength remained inferior to Celestial Immortals of the same realm."

“可三界境强者想要突破，需要消耗的资源也不少，而且能否更进一步，也看根基和底蕴，恐怕绝大多数人都无法突破至三界境圆满。”

Eldrin murmured softly, "By my estimation, the vast majority of 3 Realms Realm experts reach their limits upon attaining the middle stage of 3 Realms Realm."

To break through to the late 3 Realms Realm, 1 requires not only vast resources but also an exceptionally profound foundation.

For the same 3 Realms Realm, the strength of its inner world ultimately determines the potency of its latent potential.

For instance, an ordinary Sacrificial Self realm cultivator, with a foundation comparable to 3 Ascendant Immortal foundations, would likely not be able to open an Inner World as vast as Eldrin's, due to their lack of comparable plasticity.

A being whose Inner World is too small is akin to an Earth Immortal who has opened 5 or 6 layers of the heavens—they could never compare to a Celestial Immortal Seed who has opened 9 layers. Such individuals ultimately lack sufficient potential and may not even be able to break through the 3 Realms Realm.

Even after breaking through to the 3 Realms Realm, a Sixfold Heaven 3 Realms expert could never compare to the great powers of the Ninefold Heaven, or even the Tenfold Heaven.

"The Inner World only reaches up to the Sixth Heaven—it is impossible to break through the 3 Realms Realm."

Those who have reached the Sixth Heaven and above can break through to the 3 Realms Realm, but those at the Sixth Heaven can only remain at the early stage of the 3 Realms Realm.

Those who reach the Seventh Heaven can break through to the middle stage of the 3 Realms Realm. Cultivators at the Ninth Heaven can advance to the late stage of the 3 Realms Realm. Only those who open beyond the Tenth Heaven possess the potential to achieve the Great Perfection of the 3 Realms Realm.

"As for me..."

Eldrin murmured softly, his divine sense peering into the inner cosmos within him. There, he beheld the 3 realms—the Celestial Heaven, the Mortal Dust, and the Nether Abyss—each with 5 layers of heaven and earth rising and falling, while a strand of spacetime force traversed through them all.

15 Heavenly Layers

"As expected of the Primordial Chaos Holy Body. With such a physique walking the Path of Sacrificial Ascension, the foundation and accumulated depth of this reincarnated form have become even more profound than my original self at the same realm."

Meanwhile, deep within the Abyssal Caverns, Eldrin slowly opened his eyes.

Sensing the formidable power of his Samsara Body, a trace of satisfaction flickered across his face before he withdrew his divine sense.

Now that the Reincarnated 1's path of cultivation in the 3 Realms Realm was firmly established, and with a grand universe to sustain him, he would likely lack no cultivation resources until breaking through to the Great Perfection of the 3 Realms Realm.

From then on, he began to take his cultivation seriously.

However, before entering seclusion, Eldrin attempted to deduce the cultivation method for the 3 Realms Realm, hoping to find a way to reduce the difficulty of breaking through to the Middle 3 Realms Realm and beyond.

After repeated deductions, Eldrin still furrowed his brow and abandoned further calculations.

He discovered that for a 3 Realms Realm expert to advance further, there were no longer any simple paths. 1 either had to pay an enormous price to rebuild their foundation, or expend rare and divine treasures far beyond what this realm should require.

Whichever the case may be, none proved to be a cost-effective transaction, rendering true widespread adoption unattainable.

Fortunately, the initial stage of the 3 Realms Realm was already comparable to having 3 Taiyi foundations.

Even if experts at this realm could no longer make breakthroughs, they could still ascend to the Inner Universe within the chaos of the 3 1000 Immortal Domains, thereby reversing their Innate True Form to break through to the Celestial Immortal realm.

Eldrin spoke with an air of detachment, and after much contemplation, he ultimately named this tenth realm of martial arts the 'Celestial Immortal Realm'.

Of course, as a distinction, Eldrin (Person Name) gave another name to those powerful experts who had opened their inner cosmos.

Cosmic Realm.

A Celestial Immortal who has broken through via the Path of Self-Sacrifice harbors a true macrocosm within. To say they embody the cosmos is no exaggeration, making them truly worthy of the title—Cosmic Realm.

The 6 Realms of Mortality: Body Forging, Qi Refining, Dao Foundation, Divine Treasury, Dao Embryo, and Immortal Permanence.

"The 4 Realms of Immortal Dao: Sacrificial Self, Heaven-Opening, 3 Realms, Cosmic Infinity..."
