Chapter 1907 : Samsara Body Attains the Great Luo
"Finally, it's done."
Eldrin murmured softly, a faint smile gracing his lips.
After perfecting the Inner Cosmos and the 10 Great Immortal Vaults method, the cultivation path of the Sacrificial Art had become remarkably refined—at the very least, it could now rival any cultivation method below the Great Perfected Golden Immortal stage.
As for the methods beyond the Great Luo Realm, though not yet perfected, should 1 choose to realign their path toward mastering the Dao, they would already be no different from an ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal. What matters more then lies in 1’s own cultivation and destiny.
With such a perfected method, the final threshold barring the Path of Self Sacrifice had been overcome.
Eldrin (Person Name)直接取出了十份大罗奇珍，交给轮回身炼成神藏之宝，又取出了大量资源交给轮回身修行。
Thus, in merely 10 1000 years, the Samsara Body had already cultivated 10 supreme immortal treasuries.
According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, these 10 great immortal treasures had all reached a level comparable to an indestructible foundation.
Using the Great Luo Immortal Vault as its foundation and the 9 major immortal vaults as its formation eyes, the Samsara Body laid down a 10 Directions Infinite Formation to empower itself. Instantly, the Samsara Body’s power was amplified to its absolute limit.
At this moment, Eldrin discovered that the 10 Great Divine Treasures functioned like 10 major acupoints and bloodline abilities, elevating the combat prowess of his Samsara Body by several levels.
"Power that rivals the foundation of 5 True Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root)."
Sensing the power of his Samsara Body, Eldrin murmured softly, a flicker of astonishment gleaming in his eyes.
In that moment, Eldrin grasped the potential of the Sacrificial Ascension Path. He realized that if he could 1 day advance its 10 great immortal treasuries to the level of the Divine Soul Treasury,
Then, with the power of the 10 Great True Spirit Divine Treasures unified, the Reincarnation Body would likely directly attain the Dao as the Primordial Chaos Heavenly Emperor.
These 10 great immortal cultivation methods, fundamentally based on divine repositories, were originally created by emulating the acupoints and divine patterns of true spirits.
In other words, if it continues to be perfected—along with the sacrifice of 1's physical body, soul, and other foundational elements—the new self, forged through the unification of all foundational aspects, would ultimately have the potential to attain the Dao as the Primordial Chaos Celestial Emperor.
Indeed, pursuing this path to its ultimate end would likely resemble achieving sainthood through physical cultivation or attaining enlightenment via primordial spirit—1 could prove the Dao and ascend as Chaos Heavenly Emperor without ever treading the path of mastering the Dao.
"A method that rivals the path of physical sanctification, or rather, the embryonic form of a supreme Dao."
Eldrin murmured softly, a faint ripple stirring in the depths of his gaze.
The potential of the Path of Self-Sacrifice was truly immense. At this moment, even Eldrin felt a stirring desire to abandon his current cultivation method and embrace this newfound path.
Yet after a long while, Eldrin still suppressed the thought.
Be it the Path of Self-Sacrifice, Fleshly Body Ascension, or Divine Soul Attainment, all these great paths possess an overwhelming exclusivity.
Eldrin's current foundation was barely maintained in balance by his powerful primordial spirit and the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos. If he were to forcibly cultivate the 10 Great Immortal Treasures of the Sacrificial Path, it would most likely trigger violent conflicts within his foundation, leading to his own catastrophic disintegration.
"The Path of Self-Sacrifice remains incomplete at present."
"Fleshly Body Ascension to Sainthood, Primordial Spirit Attainment of the Dao, and the Primordial Chaos Limitless Great Dao—all are paths leading to the heavens. Their potential and power may not necessarily be inferior to the Sacrificial Art of Self."
"Let me focus on my cultivation in peace. If 1 day I achieve the ultimate state of physical sanctification and divine soul ascension, reaching the absolute limits of both paths, only then shall I incorporate the strengths of all schools into my Path of Self-Devotion. Perhaps then I may truly surpass the masters who came before me."
Eldrin murmured inwardly, ultimately resolving to first tread the orthodox path.
Once you have reached the limit of your predecessors’ path, you can then extract its essence and discard its dross, integrating it into your own Great Dao. This approach is far more reliable than fumbling in the dark on your own.
In truth, the Path of Self-Sacrifice today has already incorporated the strengths of numerous schools. It inherently contains the essence of various approaches—immortal cultivation, physical body sanctification, primordial spirit enlightenment, and more—essentially advancing by standing on the shoulders of giants.
At this thought, Eldrin swiftly withdrew his focus.
He immediately brought the Samsara Body into the depths of chaos, silently attaining the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.
The breakthrough of his reincarnation body did not cause much of a stir, primarily because Eldrin had already proven his path to the Great Dao. As the saying goes, once a Golden Immortal of the Great Luo is proven, they remain proven for eternity.
Unless a Great Luo Golden Immortal willingly relinquishes their authority over the Dao, achieving the Great Luo realm knows no bottlenecks. This incarnation of reincarnation resembles Eldrin (Person Name)'s avatar, thus transcending to the Great Luo realm naturally faces no impediments.
Secondly, the Samsara Body cultivated an Inner Cosmos. The commotion of the Inner Cosmos transforming into an immortal domain was suppressed by the Samsara Body, preventing any significant upheaval.
The Reincarnation Body transformed its inner world into the Cycle Immortal Domain. This domain comprised 30-6 layers of celestial heavens, 30-6 layers of mortal dust, and 30-6 layers of nether darkness—totaling 1 100 and 8 realms—breaking through to the Great Perfection Stage.
To Eldrin's (Person Name) delight, after the Reincarnation Immortal Realm ascended, it had given birth to a total of 12 strands of innate indestructible spiritual light.
On average, 1 Innate Indestructible Radiance was born for every 9 layers of heaven. To possess so many Innate Indestructible Radiances was truly astonishing.
You must understand, Eldrin (Person Name) had cultivated the foundation of 7 major True Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root), simultaneously pursuing sainthood through physical refinement, enlightenment via primordial spirit, and the path of mastering the Dao. On average, only 1 strand of innate indestructible spiritual light could be obtained across 6 immortal domains.
Eldrin directly merged 7 of these 12 strands of innate indestructible spirit light into his Sacrificial Self body.
3 distinct paths merged into the Dao of Time, the Dao of Space, and the Dao of Samsara respectively. Through this, he cultivated the authority over these 3 great Daos and broke through to the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.
The remaining 2 strands of Primordial Indestructible Spirit Light were both used by the Samsara Body to refine the supreme treasure of enlightenment—the Samsara Bell.
This Cycle Bell was the life-bound treasure of the Cycle Body, having successively integrated Primordial Yellow Mother Gold, fragments of time, and fragments of space. It bore the divine patterns of the Great Dao, including those of time, space, and reincarnation.
Most crucially, the Samsara Body had also integrated the Chaos Jade Platform as material into its form. This platform, originally designed to cradle treasures like the Chaos Mud, was crafted from an unknown material that astonishingly contained vast reserves of true spirit imprints.
Using this as a vessel foundation, the Reincarnation Body actually cultivated it into an innate treasure embryo, rivaling even a True Spirit Treasure in its potential.
Thus refined, the Cycle Bell, though merely a lower-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure and inferior to the main body’s Abyssal Seal, could still be considered a rare supreme treasure, with the potential to evolve into a Chaos Spiritual Treasure in the future.
Such a supreme treasure naturally possessed power that could be described as utterly astonishing.
Eldrin attempted to circulate his energy. As the Wheel of Reincarnation Bell tolled, the boundless chaos erupted with a deafening roar.
An ancient world was torn asunder, the powers of time and space intertwined. The vast Dao of Reincarnation struck out against the primordial chaos, reducing all in its path to dust.
"This power."
Eldrin was deeply shaken, a trace of solemnity flickering in his gaze.
In that moment, he grew increasingly aware of the Samsara Body's immense power—a strength rivaling that of a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal. When pushed to its absolute limits, it could even barely hold its own against a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal.
10 Great Immortal Treasures, Inner Immortal Domain, True Spirit Body.
With the support of all these foundational enhancements, though the Samsara Body had just stepped into the Great Luo Realm, it was already sufficient to contend directly against a mid-stage Golden Immortal of the Great Luo.
Eldrin murmured softly under his breath, his gaze gradually withdrawing from the distance.
He gazed at the Cycle Incarnation, a glimmer of amusement flickering in his eyes as he spoke, "From this day forth, I shall entrust you, Fellow Daoist, to traverse the chaos and gather cultivation resources on my behalf."
"We are 1 and the same, so how could there be any talk of 'fellow Daoist' between us?"
The Reincarnation Body smiled faintly. As an incarnation formed from a wisp of Eldrin's divided soul, their origins were fundamentally 1. There was a peculiar amusement in holding a conversation with what was essentially himself.
Rising to his feet, he gazed into the depths of chaos and declared, "I shall take my leave first."
As the words faded, the Wheel of Reincarnation Bell tore through the primordial chaos, carrying him into the depths of the Chaotic Sea.
Eldrin stood in place, watching the fading silhouette of the Samsara Body, an involuntary smile gracing his lips.
Unlike my true self, the Samsara Body carries the Samsara Immortal Domain within its own form. For such an existence, the vast primordial chaos is but an abode—why would it require a fixed cultivation sanctuary?
Thus, venturing into the Chaos Sea to hunt primordial beasts and seek fortuitous encounters was the most fitting endeavor for his Reincarnation Body.
After seeing off his reincarnation body, Eldrin returned to the Abyssal Immortal Domain in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, he observed the multidimensional spacetime of the Abyssal Immortal Realm once more, falling into deep contemplation.
He discovered that within the vast multidimensional space-time of the Voidless Immortal Realm, minor worlds underwent cycles of creation and destruction with astonishing rapidity, while even the inhabitants of major worlds had virtually no opportunity to advance further.
Only the living beings of the Great 1000 Worlds and the cosmos possess the potential to attain immortality and ascend to the Guixu Immortal Realm.
"Creatures of the minor realms and the greater worlds should also have the chance to attain immortality."
Eldrin murmured softly, then with a flick of his sleeve, he communed with the Heavenly Dao and began altering the laws governing this multidimensional space of the Void Return Immortal Domain.
In an instant, the creative power of the Great Luo Golden Immortal reverberated across multiple dimensions, and the laws within the vast expanse of the Returning Abyss Immortal Domain began to transform.
Soon after, a new phenomenon emerged within the endless multidimensional spacetime—the Ascension Guidance Light.
In the past, the Ascension Radiance belonged to the rules of the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm. Only the Immortal Realm possessed the power to summon the Ascension Radiance, guiding immortals to ascend into its domain.
However, after the rules were altered, even minor worlds, major worlds, the Great 1000 Worlds, and the cosmos itself could emit Ascension Immortal Light.
From this day forth, any being of the minor realm who reaches the early stage of the Violet Palace Realm in immortal cultivation, or attains perfection in the Foundation Establishment Realm of martial arts, shall be able to ascend to the nearest major realm.
When beings of the minor world cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage of the immortal path or the Dao Embryo Realm of the martial path, they may ascend to the greater world or the cosmos at large.
The resources of the Great 1000 World are sufficient to nurture Immortals, while the cosmos can sustain Earth Immortal Patriarchs. Those who cultivate to the Ascension Realm in either of these realms may ascend to the Celestial Domain.
However, after altering the rules governing the Ascension Immortal Light, the Primordial Essence consumed by the Abyssal Immortal Realm would greatly increase from this point onward.
However, the Void Abyss Immortal Domain lies within the Chaotic Sea, and with a Great Perfected Golden Immortal presiding over the Heavenly Dao, the converted primordial essence far surpasses that of the Azure Vault Immortal Domain by over a hundredfold. Thus, such minor depletion holds no cause for concern.
In Eldrin's view, as long as the Path of Self-Sacrifice continued to produce ascending immortals, such costs would be deemed worthwhile.
Of course, allowing beings from minor worlds to ascend would also bring about a significant problem.
That miniature world was originally only capable of sustaining itself for 100,000 years. If a large number of perfected Zifu and Daofi practitioners were to ascend, it would accelerate the world's destruction.
Due to the limited spiritual energy in the minor realm, the accumulated heaven and earth essence and resources over 1 100 years could at most give rise to no more than 1 or 2 perfected Zi Palace or Dao Foundation cultivators.
To even attempt a breakthrough to the Zi Mansion stage, relying solely on spiritual energy might not suffice—1 would also need rare treasures born from the precious essence of heaven and earth.
For instance, the Li Fire Crystal (Spiritual Object) used to break through to the Violet Mansion realm was merely an ordinary rarity within the Violet Realm, as any third-order fire-attribute earth vein could nurture it.
Yet a minor world spans only tens of thousands of miles—not even comparable to the former desolate expanse of a mere 100 1000 miles. How could such a infinitesimal realm ever give birth to the Li Fire Crystal (Spiritual Object)?
According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, within a minor world, during the first 10 1000 years since its primordial beginnings, 1 Li Fire Crystal (Spiritual Object) could still be conceived every decade.
By the time 10 1000 years had passed, it would take several decades, or even a full century, to produce a single 1.
In the final tens of thousands of years, that Li Fire Crystal (Spiritual Object) became a legendary treasure appearing only once every millennium, for which descendants would fight to the death.
As the resources of heaven and earth were depleted, the lifespan of the minor world was bound to be drastically shortened.
According to Eldrin's (Person Name) calculations, if a perfected Purple Mansion or Dao Foundation cultivator ascended every 1 100 years, the lifespan of a world spanning 50 1000 li in radius would be halved, reduced to approximately 50 1000 years.
A minor realm could likely only accommodate between 100 to 500 cultivators achieving perfection in either the Purple Mansion or Dao Foundation stages.
"Will the Ascension Radiance that guides the powerful of minor worlds to ascend accelerate the destruction of their realms?"
Eldrin murmured softly, then quickly lowered his gaze.
The Way of Heaven is merciless, treating all beings as straw dogs. Yet now, Eldrin (Person Name) had transcended this very Heaven’s Law, having long grown accustomed to the cycles of life and death in the mortal realm.
The destruction of a single minor world, or even the accelerated ruin of thousands of such realms, could no longer stir his heart.
In his view, humans experience birth, aging, sickness, and death—and is the world itself not the same?
The birth and demise of billions of worlds are but the natural cycles of the Heavenly Dao. For mortals who cannot attain immortality, there is fundamentally no difference between a minor world lasting 1 100 1000 years and 1 lasting 10 1000 years.
Be it a 100 1000 years or a million, without attaining immortality, all is but foam between 1's fingers—vanishing in the blink of a thought, destined to face decay.
Conversely, if among the proud sons of heaven emerging from a minor world, 1 were to eventually ascend and become an immortal, it might in turn nourish that minor world, allowing it to advance into a major world. From then on, it would possess the potential to endure for several or even countless kalpas.
"By the way, never cultivate those who bite the hand that feeds them."
Eldrin murmured, once again altering the laws of heaven and earth.
He altered the laws across multiple dimensions of space-time. From this day forth, those who break their Heavenly Oath shall be unable to summon the Ascension Immortal Light.
Moreover, all who ascend from their world incur a karmic debt to their world of origin. After ascension, they must repay this worldly causality.
If 1 fails to settle karmic debts for an extended period, they may become unable to summon the Ascension Immortal Light. Even the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm may reject their ascension.
For those who ascended without settling their karmic debts in time, only to find their original worlds already destroyed, the object of their karmic reckoning shall become the Abyssal Immortal Realm.
After all, the multidimensional spacetime was derived from and dependent on the Eldrin Immortal Realm, so transferring the karmic consequences to it posed no issue.
After altering these rules, Eldrin (Person Name) slowly let out a breath.
According to the rules he had established, 1 couldn't speak for the temperament of ascended immortals, but at the very least, it ensured that those who ascended to the immortal realm would never be ungrateful snakes.
As for after ascending to the celestial realm, they would all be under the direct jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao’s laws. It was believed that the Ancestor of the Heavenly Dao, Elder Uncle Chen Changxuan (Person Name), would oversee everything with unwavering authority.
Of course, if these individuals were to advance further and attain the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortals, whether they would be willing to repay the karmic debt owed to Eldrin would become a matter of choice—Eldrin would possess little authority to compel them.
However, Eldrin believed that for 1 to ascend from the Perished Abyss Immortal Realm and ultimately attain the Great Perfected Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, it must be akin to the ancient 8-Calamity Immortals throughout the history of the Frigid Zenith Immortal Realm—a feat nearly impossible without the support of an Immortal Realm Sovereign.
Such an individual would most likely be taken in by Eldrin (Person Name) as a disciple and nurtured.
If they failed to settle their karmic debts after attaining the Great Luo Path, they would likely be scorned by the ancient sects and countless clans.
A Great Luo Golden Immortal does not fall into the cycle of reincarnation. For such beings, life and death hold little to fear; instead, the Dao Heart and face matter far more than mortality itself.
Among the 3 1000 celestial realms, few newly ascended Great Luo Golden Immortals ever emerge through promotion from within a celestial domain.
"If my Void Abyss Immortal Domain could produce a new Great Luo Golden Immortal, it would indeed be a joyous occasion for me."
Eldrin smiled faintly. Once more, he meticulously examined the laws of heaven and earth, and only after confirming there were no oversights did he withdraw his spiritual awareness.
After imparting the Sacrificial Dao and altering the laws of heaven and earth, Eldrin (Person Name) embarked on his secluded cultivation.
In the years that followed, Eldrin devoted himself to perfecting his cultivation techniques while extending his divine consciousness across boundless dimensions to spread his teachings throughout the heavens.
And through these countless years, the other 8 newly-ascended Great Luo Golden Immortals among the human race held their celestial banquet.
Eldrin was invited to attend the immortal banquets hosted by several of them, 1 of whom was none other than Youwu.
As the direct disciple of the Great Nether Emperor, Youwu had obtained numerous fortuitous encounters in those years. For hundreds of thousands of years during the final epochs of the Cosmic Tribulation, she battled across the realms, ultimately cultivating a True Spirit Primordial Soul.
With this as his foundation, Youwu had broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm, establishing himself as the true seed of a future Human Emperor.
Thus, amidst continuous secluded cultivation and attendance at immortal banquets, the first 1 million years swiftly passed, and the Abyssal Immortal Realm welcomed its first great tribulation.
As part of the heavenly cycle, Eldrin did not intervene in the Great Tribulation.
However, as a privately owned immortal realm, the immortal spiritual energy converted by the Abyssal Return Immortal Realm far surpassed what the Vast Azure Immortal Realm could ever hope to match.
Thus, in this great tribulation, Eldrin did not intend to slaughter too many.
First, for the members of the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) and the immortals within the alliance of the Immortal Alliance, Eldrin (Person Name) had sheltered them, ensuring they never had to undergo tribulation.
True Immortals who have entered the tribulation are either newly ascended Immortals emerging from the dimensional void, or Earth Immortals who aspire to prove their path toward the Great Luo and seek to advance further.
Moreover, Eldrin had no intention of letting the Abyssal Immortal Realm fall into internal strife. Instead, he ventured into the depths of chaos and captured over a 100 chaos nests.
He refined these hundreds of Chaos Nests into a vast Chaos Heaven Domain, using the blood of ancient chaos beasts together with ferocious beasts to create the Chaos Beast Tribe.
The Chaos Heaven Domain lay beyond the Return to Ruins Immortal Realm. Those Chaos Beast Clans fed on the breath of chaos, requiring little additional resources from Eldrin to nurture them.
Whenever a great tribulation or a heavenly tribulation descended, the Chaotic Heavenly Domain would briefly merge with the Abyssal Return Immortal Domain.
Those who undergo the tribulation may step into this realm to engage in life-or-death combat against the Chaos Beasts. By slaying a single Chaos Beast of equivalent cultivation rank, 1 shall transcend the heavenly trial.
The victor would obtain the Chaos Beast's physical essence—a supreme treasure for body cultivation and the finest resource for practitioners of the Path of Self-Offering.
Defeat naturally meant falling on the spot, returning 1's Dao to the heavens and rejoining the primordial source of the immortal realm, thus fulfilling the great cycle of celestial law. (End of Chapter)
