Chapter 2097 : Throne of Chaos and Curse

In ages past, the six Supreme Beings of the Immortal Cosmos Dao Progenitor and the Celestial Furnace Grotto-Heaven could all be considered disciples of this Nameless Dao Progenitor.

Yet, for reasons unknown, this Nameless Dao Progenitor suddenly perished. The subsequent utter annihilation of the Heavenly Forge Lineage seems to have been connected to this event in some way.

Even so, Eldrin Chen showed not a flicker of hesitation. He spoke with calm resolve, "Since I aspire to the Chaos Realm, how could I possibly fear mere inauspiciousness?"

With those words, Eldrin Chen decisively stepped onto the central throne and settled upon it.

"Boom—"

The moment Eldrin Chen took his seat upon the throne, a cataclysmic wave of inauspicious power surged forth, crashing down upon him like a Chaos Divine Mountain.

This force was supremely malevolent, imbued with an extreme form of Curse Power that sought to utterly corrode Eldrin Chen's physical body and his Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator].

Yet, as swiftly as it came, the power vanished, dissipating into nothingness in the blink of an eye.

"Argh—"

Simultaneously, from the boundless expanse of the Chaos far beyond, a muffled groan echoed. An indescribably bizarre and sinister figure let out a howl of anguish.

This figure's aura had become incredibly feeble, as if it had suffered a terrifying backlash.

At the same time, a majestic figure appeared beside him, a flicker of confusion crossing its features as it spoke, "Who exactly struck? You have suffered backlash twice in succession?"

"Unnameable, untouchable. It was the Terminus Power [a power representing the absolute end of all things]."

The ominous figure trembled as it spoke, its voice filled with profound terror.

The majestic figure's brow furrowed slightly, and it spoke with surprise, "Another Scion of the Epoch's End [a being destined to witness or bring about the end of a cosmic era]? Could it be that He is truly about to emerge into the world?"

The majestic figure murmured to itself, its expression once again clouding with deep apprehension.

A Scion of the Epoch's End who wields the Abyssal Great Dao [the supreme Dao of the primordial void and oblivion]—such a being could very well be a supreme existence at the Half-Step Primordial Chaos Realm [a realm bordering the primordial state of all creation]. Once it emerges, it would likely become the most dreadful adversary for all life within Chaos [the primordial, formless state from which all existence arises].

Considering this, the majestic figure's gaze turned icy. Finally, it declared, "Though the Scion of the Epoch's End is fearsome, it can only reach its peak power when Chaos itself approaches the brink of utter Annihilation [complete and final destruction]."

"Before that time comes, it is merely a Chaos Sovereign [a ruler who commands a portion of primordial Chaos]. Perhaps we can seize it and seal it away permanently before then."

"It seems," the figure concluded, its tone turning contemplative, "the time has come for us to meet with our old friends once more."

As for the events transpiring beyond the distant Chaos, Eldrin Chen remained unaware.

At this moment, seated upon a meditation cushion, he suddenly felt the infinite interweaving of the Great Dao [the fundamental principles and laws of the cosmos] surging towards him.

All the myriad aspects of the Great Dao contained within the Myriad Heavens Great Dao Tree, the legacies of the hundreds of Chaos Celestial Emperor, and even the Dao and methods left behind by the six Dao-Union Supreme [the supreme cultivators who have unified with the Dao] manifested vividly before his eyes.

Eldrin Chen surveyed this panorama without omission, and his own comprehension and foundational understanding of the Great Dao began to expand and deepen at a breathtaking pace.

He drank from this wellspring of knowledge with an insatiable thirst, his foundational essence strengthening like a sponge absorbing water.

An immeasurable span of time later, Eldrin Chen had inscribed all these principles and methods into the depths of his mind, using them to verify and refine the Dao he himself had forged.

After another unknowable duration, he then let go of them all, allowing them to be forgotten by conscious thought and instead etched as instinct into his flesh, his Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator], and even the very fabric of his spiritual power.

In a certain moment, Eldrin Chen felt that he *was* the Dao, that he himself embodied the laws of the Myriad Heavens. He attained a profound, ultimate comprehension of the Great Dao and its Laws [the fundamental rules governing reality].

It was at this point that Eldrin Chen realized the harvest from this experience had already surpassed the accumulated wisdom of others over millions of Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles in Buddhist cosmology, often billions of years].

"The myriad paths of the Myriad Heavens all converge upon the same destination."

"This shall serve as nourishment, allowing me to perfect my own Chaos Great Dao [the supreme and all-encompassing fundamental principle of Chaos]."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, immediately using this as a foundation to refine his Chaos Limitless Great Dao [a supreme cultivation art embodying the boundless nature of Chaos].

In that instant, his Chaos Limitless Great Dao began to transform with Extreme Speed [a divine ability granting unparalleled velocity]. Unconsciously, ten distinct Grand Dao Divine Form [divine manifestations of a supreme Great Dao] slowly materialized within his comprehension, each one grasped and understood.

At this moment, Eldrin Chen realized that for each of the five Great Dao [supreme fundamental principles of cultivation] he cultivated, he had already mastered three Grand Dao Divine Form.

Thus, these fifteen Grand Dao Divine Form converged and fused, ultimately coalescing into three majestic Chaos Great Dao Divine Form [divine manifestations of the Chaos Great Dao].

For an ordinary Perfect Innate Great Dao [a flawless, heaven-born supreme Dao], upon reaching this stage, Eldrin Chen could have directly projected his Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] into the Sea of Dao [the metaphysical ocean where all Daos converge] to initiate the Great Dao Authority Struggle [the cosmic contest for dominion over a Great Dao's authority].

However, Eldrin Chen's five Boundless Great Dao [supreme Daos of infinite scope] were all exceedingly potent, and each was also cultivated by a Chaos Celestial Emperor [a supreme ruler born of Chaos]. Therefore, he did not rush to contend for Dao Authority [the sovereign right to command a Dao's power].

Emerging from his deep cultivation, he found the others present still immersed in secluded contemplation of their arts. Without pause, he resumed his own closed-door cultivation to further perfect his path.

It was at this time that Eldrin Chen began refining the cultivation method of the Path of Self-Sacrifice [a profound cultivation art centered on the principle of ultimate self-offering].

Compared to the Chaos Limitless Great Dao, the refinement of the Path of Self-Sacrifice seemed to proceed with far greater swiftness and fluidity.

After a period of quiet contemplation, Eldrin Chen refined two additional Grand Dao Divine Form for the Path of Self-Sacrifice [a profound cultivation method based on sacrifice], thereby stepping into the realm of twelve Grand Dao Divine Form [divine manifestations of a Great Dao].

In truth, ever since evolving the Path of Self-Sacrifice into a Boundless Great Dao [an infinite and limitless Great Dao], Eldrin Chen could have directly used it to attempt a breakthrough to the Chaos Celestial Emperor realm.

Attempting the breakthrough with a Primordial Primordial Great Dao [an ancient and foundational Great Dao] would have guaranteed success with absolute certainty, leaving no room for failure. Yet, Eldrin Chen deliberately refrained from doing so.

This was because a Primordial Primordial Great Dao possessed boundless potential and represented a period of rapid development for its Grand Dao Divine Form.

Once it transformed into a Chaos Great Dao [a Great Dao of primordial chaos], the speed of its refinement and evolution would instead slow down significantly.

Precisely for this reason, some Primordial Primordial Great Dao, even when cultivated by immensely powerful Chaos Celestial Emperor [Celestial Emperors who have mastered Chaos], were not fully mastered by these sovereigns.

On the contrary, these Celestial Emperor [supreme rulers of the heavens] actively encouraged countless Grand Luo Golden Immortal [Golden Immortals of the Grand Luo realm] and Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch [Emperor Monarchs of Primordial Chaos] to cultivate these paths, dedicating their entire lives and essence to perfecting these Boundless Great Dao.

Only when these Boundless Great Dao reached a bottleneck, a point where further progress seemed utterly impossible, would these Chaos Celestial Emperor begin to harvest the Dao Authority [authority and control over a specific Dao].

Based on Eldrin Chen's conjecture, the largest portion of Dao Authority over the Pure Yang Great Dao [the Great Dao of Pure Yang] he cultivated was likely held by Blazing Zenith Supreme.

Currently, the Pure Yang Celestial Fire Great Dao [the Great Dao of Pure Yang Celestial Fire] had already manifested twenty-six distinct Grand Dao Divine Form.

Once the Pure Yang Celestial Fire Great Dao [a supreme cultivation art of the purest solar fire] gives birth to its twenty-seventh Grand Dao Divine Form [a divine manifestation of a Great Dao's power], it is highly likely that Blazing Zenith Supreme will begin his harvest.

For the Primordial Great Dao [the foundational Great Dao] of twenty-seven Grand Dao Divine Form, once fused and transformed into a complete Chaos Great Dao [the Great Dao of primordial Chaos], will directly step into the realm of Dao-Union Supreme [a Supreme being who has unified with their Dao].

If Blazing Zenith Supreme were to successfully achieve Dao-Grasping [the state of fully grasping a Dao] at that time, and simultaneously master two Great Dao at the Dao Merging [the realm of merging with a Dao] level, his power would directly ascend into the ranks of the top-tier Dao-Union Supreme.

For Eldrin Chen, the Path of Self-Sacrifice [a cultivation art centered on the concept of sacrifice] can be considered in a similar light.

The current Path of Self-Sacrifice cultivates a Great Dao; this type of Path of Cultivation [a fundamental cultivation methodology] is far too universal.

Within the same scope, the number of Grand Luo Golden Immortal [a high-level immortal realm] cultivating the Path of Self-Sacrifice would absolutely be thousands, even tens of thousands of times greater than those cultivating the Pure Yang Celestial Fire Great Dao.

Under such circumstances, the rate at which the Path of Self-Sacrifice is perfected naturally far surpasses what the Pure Yang Celestial Fire Great Dao could ever hope to match.

Once Eldrin Chen's cultivation later breaks through to the Chaos Realm [a realm of primordial chaos], and the Path of Self-Sacrifice is propagated throughout the entire Blazing Zenith Hundred Domains [a vast region of one hundred domains], it would be a trivial matter for the Path of Self-Sacrifice to give birth to twenty-seven Grand Dao Divine Form.

Even though perfecting each subsequent Grand Dao Divine Form becomes increasingly difficult, once the Path of Self-Sacrifice is spread throughout the entire Chaos [the primordial Chaos], achieving thirty-six, seventy-two, or even one hundred and eight forms would not be impossible.

At that time, by transforming the Path of Self-Sacrifice into a Chaos Great Dao, Eldrin Chen could very well ascend to the heavens in a single step, breaking through to the realm of Chaos Sovereign [the Sovereign of Chaos] in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Eldrin Chen was unwilling, at least for the short term, to force a breakthrough using the Path of Self-Sacrifice [a cultivation art that requires immense personal sacrifice to advance].

At this moment, Eldrin Chen was focused on continuously refining the Path of Self-Sacrifice. With the foundational Dao principles of hundreds of Chaos Celestial Emperor [supreme rulers of chaos realms] as his foundation, he had developed numerous insights for perfecting this art.

After only a brief period of contemplation, Eldrin Chen had already conceived three preliminary approaches to cultivate the True Spirit Immortal Treasury [the ultimate state of an immortal's spiritual repository].

He refined these three approaches, quickly drafting the cultivation methods for each one in turn.

These three methods were respectively: the 'Supreme Treasure Forging Treasury' [a method to forge the treasury using supreme treasures], the 'True Form Refining Treasury' [a method to refine the treasury through one's true form], and the 'Immortal Extremity Nine Transformations' [a method involving nine transformations to reach immortal extremity].

Among these three methods, each was a masterpiece of thought, employing a different conceptual path to forge the True Spirit Immortal Treasury.

The so-called Supreme Treasure Forging Treasury required obtaining ten Innate Supreme Treasure [treasures born of heaven and earth with supreme power]. These ten treasures would then be refined into an Immortal Vault Treasure [a treasure that serves as the core of an immortal's spiritual vault].

Using this as a foundation, one would absorb Chaos Primordial Beginning Qi [the primordial energy of chaos from the beginning of creation] along with vast quantities of Chaos Water [water imbued with the essence of chaos], continuously strengthening the Origin [the foundational source] of the Immortal Treasury [the spiritual repository of an immortal].

In this manner, the Ten Great Immortal Treasuries [the ten major spiritual repositories of an immortal] would grow increasingly powerful. Upon breaking through a certain ultimate limit, one would then completely refine the Immortal Vault Treasure, allowing the treasury to devour the Innate Supreme Treasure and thereby achieve the True Spirit Immortal Treasury.

This method emulated the Flesh Sanctification Method [an art for sanctifying and strengthening the physical body], yet it possessed its own distinct variations.

The first method involves cultivating the Immortal Treasury [the foundational spiritual repository within a cultivator] with the aid of an Innate Supreme Treasure [a primordial treasure born from the essence of heaven and earth]. Once the Immortal Treasury reaches its Limit-Breaking [the ultimate boundary or limit of a cultivation realm], it attracts a True Spirit Imprint [the spiritual essence and imprint of a True Spirit being]. This imprint is then refined and fused with the Innate Supreme Treasure to forge the True Spirit Immortal Treasury [an Immortal Treasury elevated by the power of a True Spirit].

The True Spirit Immortal Treasury forged through this method places little demand on innate comprehension or profound insights into the Great Dao [the fundamental laws and principles of the cosmos]. Its essence is one of brute force and overwhelming power.

The second method, 'True Form Casting the Treasury,' differs from the Supreme Treasure Forging Treasury [the art of forging a treasury with a supreme treasure]. This path requires no special resources, but its demand for comprehension and enlightenment is extraordinarily high.

To cast the treasury with one's True Form, the prerequisite is to first cultivate a Great Dao True Form [a physical manifestation of one's comprehension of a Great Dao]. This means one's Dao-Grasping [the realm of comprehending and grasping the Dao] cultivation must have reached the Great Emperor Realm [the realm of a Great Emperor].

After achieving the Great Dao True Form, one integrates it into the Immortal Treasury. This fusion catalyzes the continuous growth of the Immortal Treasury, pushing it to Limit-Breaking and ultimately transforming it into a True Spirit Immortal Treasury.

However, the True Form Casting method is far from simple. The Path of Self-Sacrifice [a legendary and arduous cultivation path] encompasses a full Ten Great Immortal Treasuries [the ten supreme Immortal Treasuries]. To achieve a breakthrough, one must cultivate ten distinct Great Dao True Form.

Yet, to possess ten True Forms of the Great Dao signifies a Boundless Great Dao [a Great Dao of limitless scope and power] that would shake the ages. With such profound comprehension, one could directly ascend to the realm of a Chaos Celestial Emperor [a Celestial Emperor who commands the power of primordial Chaos]. Why then would one choose the arduous Path of Self-Sacrifice?

After much contemplation, Eldrin Chen simplified the method for achieving the True Spirit Immortal Treasury, ultimately pioneering the Nine True Spirit Immortal Treasuries Method [a method to cultivate nine True Spirit Immortal Treasuries].

According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, a cultivator who masters the Nine Great True Spirit Immortal Treasuries [the nine supreme True Spirit Immortal Treasuries] could later merge these nine Immortal Treasury into one, enabling a direct breakthrough into the Chaos Realm [the primordial realm of Chaos].

The third method, 'Immortal Extremity Nine Transformations' [the Nine Transformations of Immortal Extremity], was devised by Eldrin Chen by synthesizing insights from the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Art [a heavenly art of nine profound revolutions], the Indestructible Heavenly Art [the heavenly art of indestructibility], and the Refine Self Through Self Dao [the art of refining oneself through one's own Dao].

This method does not require an Innate Supreme Treasure, nor does it demand exceptional comprehension or willpower. Instead, it calls for immense perseverance and unwavering resolve.

Cultivating this art involves repeatedly shattering one's own Immortal Treasury [the foundational spiritual repository of a cultivator], then undergoing a rebirth-like Immortal Treasury [the foundational spiritual repository of a cultivator] from the fragments.

Through this cyclical process of destruction and rebirth, the Immortal Treasury [the foundational spiritual repository of a cultivator] is continuously strengthened, until it surpasses its inherent limits and transforms into a True Spirit Immortal Treasury [an ultimate, perfected spiritual repository].

According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, one only needs to shatter each Immortal Treasury [the foundational spiritual repository of a cultivator] nine times and successfully rebuild it through rebirth to achieve the transformation into a True Spirit Immortal Treasury [an ultimate, perfected spiritual repository].

At that stage, the True Spirit Immortal Treasury [an ultimate, perfected spiritual repository], combined with the opportunity for the Inner Immortal Domain [a cultivator's internal spiritual world] to evolve into a Primordial Immortal Domain [a primordial, self-sustaining spiritual realm], would be sufficient to spontaneously generate a Chaos Great Dao [the supreme Dao of primordial Chaos], directly propelling one into the realm of a Chaos Celestial Emperor.

However, this path is perilous beyond measure. Should the rebirth fail after the shattering, all cultivation progress would be lost, making it the most treacherous of the three methods.

"Among the three methods, the 'Supreme Treasure Forging Treasury' depends on resources, the 'True Form Refining Treasury' relies on comprehension, while the 'Immortal Extremity Nine Transformations' tests one's perseverance and resolve."

"Though each of these three paths is fraught with immense difficulty, they all lead directly to the Chaos Realm [the supreme realm of primordial Chaos], representing a true path to the heavens, a Great Dao [a supreme and profound Path]."

"Moreover, once the Path of Self-Sacrifice reaches the Chaos Realm [the supreme realm of primordial Chaos], bolstered by the Inner Immortal Domain [a cultivator's internal spiritual world] and the Ten Great Immortal Treasuries [the ten supreme spiritual repositories], one's combat prowess should be peerless within that realm."

As these thoughts drifted through Eldrin Chen's mind, he turned his focus inward to observe his own Path of Self-Sacrifice. He discovered, almost without noticing, that it had already manifested eighteen Grand Dao Divine Form [divine manifestations of supreme Daos].

Clearly, this time, by pioneering the method of creating three True Spirit Immortal Treasury [a supreme cultivation art that forges an immortal treasury within one's true spirit], the Dao Authority [the measure of one's mastery and influence over a specific Dao or cultivation path] of the Path of Self-Sacrifice [a profound cultivation art centered on the concept of sacrificing the self to achieve greater power] has been elevated to an immense degree.

"A single Grand Dao Divine Form [a divine manifestation embodying a fundamental principle of the cosmos] can cultivate one True Spirit Immortal Treasury."

"With my eighteen Grand Dao Divine Form, can the Reincarnation Body [a separate, independently cultivatable body formed through profound reincarnation arts] cultivate eighteen True Spirit Immortal Treasury?"

"If eighteen Grand Dao Divine Form yield such results, what if they are perfected to thirty-six divine forms in the future, or even the Seventy-Two Great Dao Divine Forms [the ultimate set of seventy-two divine manifestations representing the core principles of the Great Dao]? Wouldn't the Reincarnation Body then be able to point directly to the realm of the Chaos Sovereign [the supreme sovereign who commands the primordial chaos itself]?"

Eldrin Chen suddenly murmured inwardly, a flicker of profound contemplation passing through his gaze.

A feeling arose within him—the Reincarnation Body cultivating the Path of Self-Sacrifice was perhaps on the cusp of its momentous rise.

After all, compared to his true self, which did not cultivate the Path of Self-Sacrifice, the Reincarnation Body was the true progenitor of that very path, capable of unleashing the Path of Self-Sacrifice's full, latent potential.

"Bong—"

Just as Eldrin Chen was lost in thought, the resonant toll of an ancient bell echoed through the great hall.

Eldrin Chen opened his eyes to find the others in the hall gradually stirring awake, roused by the Grotto-Heaven Spirit [the sentient spirit guardian of a grotto-heaven, a blessed realm] who held a small bell in hand.

He cast his gaze upon the assembly, his expression placid as he spoke in a measured tone, "The time has come. The Opportunity [a rare chance for profound enlightenment or advancement] to contemplate the Dao ends here."

"The six individuals at the forefront…"

The Grotto-Heaven Spirit [the sentient spirit of a mystical paradise-realm] paused briefly, then turned its gaze specifically to Eldrin Chen, before continuing, "You seven, follow me to contemplate the Chaos Self-Reflection Mirror [a legendary artifact that reveals one's true nature and potential]. The rest of you may depart."

Hearing this, a flicker of reluctance passed over the faces of those present. Only the foremost figures, such as the Black Abyss Great Emperor, revealed a trace of genuine delight.

Without waiting for further remarks from the others, the Grotto-Heaven Spirit rose and proceeded towards the rear of the great hall.

Eldrin Chen and the others promptly stood and followed. Noticing the Black Abyss Sage Ascendant walking beside him wore an expression of joy, Eldrin Chen could not help but inquire, "How did the battle feel?"

"The gains were immense," he replied, his face alight with satisfaction. "It remedied the foundational flaws in my Divine Form."

The Black Abyss Sage Ascendant spoke, his features clearly etched with pleasure.

Eldrin Chen nodded in understanding. While the path of Sainthood through the Flesh [a cultivation method focusing on perfecting the physical body to achieve sainthood] did not test one's comprehension, the Divine Forms cultivated through it varied greatly in potency.

To illustrate, consider two defensive-type True Spirit Divine Form [the ultimate spiritual manifestation of a cultivator's power]. The Immortal Shield manifested by the Immortal Great Emperor might only bolster his defense by eighty percent.

However, some supreme defensive Divine Forms, such as Eldrin Chen's Black Tortoise Shield, can double their defensive power even without the amplification of the Chaos Divine Rune.

Conversely, some weaker defensive-type True Spirit Divine Form can only enhance defense by fifty percent.

If such disparities are not bridged, they will create a vast and ever-widening chasm as one's cultivation advances.

In his early years, Black Abyss Sage Ascendant lacked foundational depth. Apart from his Chaos Divine Form, his other Divine Forms were not considered top-tier Chaos Divine Form, with average enhancements hovering around seventy to eighty percent.

Yet, seizing this opportunity upon the first meditation cushion, he gained profound insights from a Dao-Union Supreme [a supreme being who has merged with the Dao], greatly refining his own True Spirit Divine Form and significantly boosting its potency.

Now, the eight True Spirit Divine Form of Black Abyss Sage Ascendant provide an average foundational enhancement of approximately ninety percent.

With this improvement, further augmented by his Chaos Divine Form, Black Abyss Sage Ascendant's overall combat strength has risen by more than ten percent.

Thus, Black Abyss Sage Ascendant's current power has firmly reached a level where he can contend with a Celestial Emperor [a supreme ruler among immortals], possessing roughly sixty percent of the comprehensive combat prowess of the Chaos Celestial Emperor.

"Satisfactory,"

Eldrin Chen nodded with approval. He patted Black Abyss Sage Ascendant on the shoulder and said, "Contemplating the 'Observing the Self' realm later will allow you to remedy some of your remaining deficiencies."

"With the additional empowerment of the Primordial Chaos Mother Spring [a legendary spring said to be the source of all primordial chaos], the foundational enhancement of your eight divine forms, Senior, should all be able to reach the pinnacle realm of divine forms."

Black Abyss Sage Ascendant let out a breath, unable to suppress a smile as he spoke: "If I can truly remedy my shortcomings, then after we leave this place, it will be time for me to break through to the Chaos Celestial Emperor realm."

"Indeed. Once you, Senior, break through to the Chaos Celestial Emperor realm, you will undoubtedly surpass the heroes of the Seven Domains of the Southern Abyss and become a towering pillar of our Human Race."

Eldrin Chen nodded, a smile gracing his features as he replied.

His words were no mere flattery, for Black Abyss Sage Ascendant had already cultivated the Chaos Divine Form [a supreme physical manifestation born of chaos].

With such a foundation for his breakthrough into the Chaos Celestial Emperor realm, even if he could not rival a Half-Step Dao-Unification expert, he should still surpass the most elite Celestial Emperor cultivators, capable of facing five opponents of the same realm alone.

As the two conversed, they were led before an ancient mirror.

The Grotto-Heaven Spirit [the sentient spirit of a mystical grotto-heaven realm] regarded them calmly and stated, "The Chaos Self-Reflection Mirror can open a single Kalpa Tribulation [a vast cosmic cycle of time and tribulation]. You have only the duration of one Kalpa Tribulation."

"Whether you can discover your own deficiencies, or even perfect your own Dao and techniques, depends entirely on your own comprehension and Opportunity [a fortuitous encounter or moment of enlightenment in cultivation]."

With those words, the Grotto-Heaven Spirit flicked its sleeve, activating the Chaos Self-Reflection Mirror and drawing all seven figures into the depths of the treasured mirror.

After a dizzying whirl of heaven and earth, Eldrin Chen regained his senses to find himself within a space of Void [a profound state of emptiness and potential]. Surrounding him were three mirrors.

These three mirrors each held a reflection: one mirrored the various Great Dao [the supreme cosmic principles and paths] he cultivated; another mirrored his Chaos Indestructible Body [a physique forged from primordial chaos, granting near-absolute resilience]; the final one mirrored his Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core and true essence of a cultivator's being].

Within the three mirrors, Eldrin Chen discovered the imperfections in his own Great Dao, the subtle flaws within his physical body, and even glimpsed the incomplete aspects of his Primordial Spirit cultivation.

Yet, on the whole, these defects were not numerous.

Eldrin Chen meticulously rectified and perfected every single flaw he found, only to discover that a mere three thousand years had passed.

"Can the Chaos Self-Reflection Mirror [a mystical artifact that reveals the imperfections in one's cultivation] reveal so few shortcomings?"

Having completed this task, Eldrin Chen murmured softly to himself, a note of puzzlement in his voice. "Or is it that my Dao is already profoundly refined, with few flaws to begin with?"

Eldrin Chen surveyed his own being, realizing that through the years of constantly perfecting his cultivation treasures, he had long ago polished his imperfections to a state where no further improvement seemed possible.

Considering this, it was within expectation that his cultivation method harbored few significant flaws.

However, to use only three thousand years of a single Kalpa Tribulation [a cosmic cycle of immense duration, often associated with great trials and renewal] felt like a profound waste of such an opportunity.

Therefore, Eldrin Chen pondered for a moment and directly presented the three newly conceived volumes of the True Spirit Immortal Treasury technique to the Chaos Self-Reflection Mirror [a mystical artifact capable of revealing flaws and imperfections], asking it to illuminate their shortcomings.

Unexpectedly, the Chaos Self-Reflection Mirror proved remarkably effective, immediately identifying numerous imperfections within the three scrolls of the True Spirit Immortal Treasury method.
