Chapter 1948 : Mid-stage Da Luo Jinxian

"Then we shall wait a while longer."

Eldrin spoke, then said, "Let us wait a little longer. Once my Great Dao cultivation breaks through, perhaps we can attempt to claim it."

Hearing this, Chen Qiyuan didn’t press further but sighed softly, “Alas, I hope that after my breakthrough, I can lend you a hand.”

Eldrin smiled faintly before speaking, "Should the Patriarch attain enlightenment through the path of physical sanctification, he would undoubtedly manifest an invincible presence among the Great Luo Golden Immortals."

With those words spoken, neither of them said anything more.

After seeing off Ancestor Qiyuan, Eldrin did not immediately delve into the profound truths of the Great Dao. Instead, he began cultivating the Maha Gold Bamboo to refine Maha Gold.

Having cultivated to this day, Eldrin had already endured 3 and a half kalpas since attaining the Dao of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Lyra, Seraphina Qu, and Lulu had also experienced 2 and a half kalpas, their cultivation having made significant progress.

Especially for the Physique of the Great Dao, as they lacked no resources, they had already begun consuming Pills of the Great Dao and Golden Fruits of Immortality at the very first layer. This caused their physical cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds, saving them a tremendous amount of cultivation time.

By now, Lyra, Seraphina Qu, and Lulu had achieved complete physical refinement, ready to attempt the breakthrough to the Middle Stage of the Dharmakaya.

There were also Qing Ji, Yan Zi Ji, Lila (Person Name), Chen Ethan (Person Name), and others. Although it had only been 1 and a half kalpas since they attained the Dao, thanks to the assistance of vast resources, their physical cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds.

At most, they would only need to wait 50 million years. After refining the next batch of Great Luo Immortal Pills and Indestructible Golden Fruits, they would qualify to attempt a breakthrough to the middle stage of the Great Luo Physique.

At this thought, Eldrin opened his cauldron and refined several batches of the Great Luo Golden Elixir.

Lyra (Person Name) and Seraphina Qu (Person Name) each obtained a Great Luo Golden Pill (Elixir), immediately entering seclusion to break through to the Great Luo Physique. Not long after, both had cultivated their Great Luo Physique to the mid-stage Great Luo realm.

To this end, the 3 of them consumed some Indestructible Radiance. Eldrin allocated 6 strands each to Lyra and Seraphina Qu, while Lulu only expended 3 strands. In total, they had depleted 15 strands of Primordial Indestructible Radiance.

Although the trio had successfully achieved their breakthroughs, they primarily followed the Path of the Great Dao. While they had also cultivated the Da Luo Body to some extent, they had not practiced bloodline supernatural abilities or True Spirit Divine Patterns. Consequently, their overall combat prowess had not seen a particularly significant enhancement.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, their overall strength had only increased by 10 to 20 percent. Though they had advanced further from an already lofty pinnacle, they still hadn't reached the realm of the seventh level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Apart from this, the Reincarnation Body also obtained a Great Luo Golden Elixir, yet it did not break through to the mid Great Luo stage.

The primary reason was that the Path of the Samsara Body remained incomplete. Moreover, advancing the cultivation of the Samsara Body required consuming a substantial amount of resources, which ultimately prevented the final breakthrough.

To this end, Eldrin spent over a million years refining the methods of the Inner Immortal Domain and the 10 Great Immortal Treasures based on the conditions of his reincarnated forms, ultimately creating the cultivation method for the Great Perfection Stage of the Path of Self-Sacrifice.

This time, Eldrin integrated the 10 Great Immortal Treasures with his Inner Immortal Domain. He used the Inner Immortal Domain as the foundation for his Path of Self-Sacrifice cultivation, while employing the 10 Great Immortal Treasures to draw upon the waters of chaos, establishing a cycle of primordial energy for the Inner Immortal Domain.

Then, using the 10 Great Immortal Treasures, the origin of the immortal realm, and the great laws of the immortal domain, he continuously tempered the Sacrificial Self Body, engraving countless laws, rules, and dao principles of the immortal realm into it. This process ceaselessly enhanced the power of the Sacrificial Self Body at every moment....

In the end, the Inner Immortal Domain, the 10 Great Immortal Treasures, and the Sacrificial Self Body formed a flawless cycle.

The 10 great immortal treasures inhaled and exhaled the waters of chaos. Through the transformation by these supreme treasures, it was converted into the purest primordial energy that nourished the immortal realm, allowing it to grow continuously.

In the process of the celestial realm's growth, countless worlds and universes within it undergo cycles of creation and destruction, epochs revolve, beings experience birth, aging, sickness, and death, all things pass through reincarnation, and the flow of time and space continues. The principles of Yin and Yang, the 5 Elements, the 4 Symbols, the 8 Trigrams, and all the great Dao laws grow increasingly perfected.

And these perfected Heavenly Daos and laws were all engraved into the Sacrificial Self Body, every moment augmenting its power.

"Boom—"

In the very instant the cultivation method of the Jiewo Dao's Great Perfection Realm was perfected, a violent tremor resounded through the endless chaos.

Countless Great Luo Golden Immortals raised their heads, gazing toward the Chaos Supreme Realm. Within the indescribable Sea of Dao, a trace of astonishment surfaced in each of their expressions.

There in the vast sea of the Great Dao, a faint strand of the Dao underwent an ultimate transformation, bursting forth with an indescribable radiance that outshone the splendor of countless other Daos.

A newborn Great Dao, yet exceptionally radiant and magnificent.

"Which fellow practitioner founded this Great Dao? Judging by these celestial phenomena, it appears to possess the potential to break through to the Dao of Infinity."

Another Dao Ancestor has emerged. Perhaps before long, there shall be 1 more among our ranks.

Within the endless chaos, the Great Luo Golden Immortals and Chaos Heavenly Emperors conversed among themselves, many revealing a trace of approval in their expressions.

In the Eldrin Immortal Realm, Eldrin (Person Name) gazed upon his Cycle Reincarnation Body, an involuntary trace of joy surfacing in his expression.

From the very moment the cultivation method for the Great Luo Realm of the Path of Self-Sacrifice was successfully created, Eldrin sensed a tremendous surge in the power of the Path of Self-Sacrifice within him.

In almost an instant, the Path of Self Sacrifice became a Minor Accomplishment Dao, its power multiplying severalfold. As the master of this Dao, Eldrin immediately realized it had grown potent enough to rival the seventh level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

And this was only the beginning. For every additional Great Luo Golden Immortal who cultivated the Path of Self-Sacrifice, the power wielded by Eldrin would grow by another measure.

If there were 3,000 beings who had cultivated the Path of Sacrifice to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, the Path of Sacrifice would rival the Primordial Dao of Limitlessness. With the authority of such a great dao, Eldrin (Person Name) would possess power sufficient to contend against Dao Ancestors and Immortal Sages, attaining combat prowess at the pinnacle of Quasi-Sage level.

"The Great Dao of Self-Offering has finally achieved preliminary completion."

Eldrin murmured softly, a faint smile gracing his lips.

This time, the creation of the Great Luo method for the Path of Self-Offering would allow future cultivators of this path to directly break through the barrier between Dao Ancestor and Immortal Sage.

Moreover, immortals who practice the Sacrificial Path need not follow the path of Dao Authority, nor are they akin to those who achieve sainthood through physical cultivation or prove their Dao through primordial spirit.

The Path of Sacrifice is the convergence of 3 supreme principles: the Authority of the Great Dao, the Sanctification of the Flesh, and the Ascension of the Primordial Spirit. 10 Great Immortal Treasures manifest externally, while an entire Immortal Domain resides within.

Thus, even without the power of the Great Dao's authority, the Path of Self-Offering would never be inferior to any Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Moreover, the Sacrificial Art of Self offered a more comprehensive path—the higher 1's cultivation, the more formidable it became. Upon reaching the late-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, practitioners of this art would undoubtedly stand peerless among their equals.

"What name should be given to this Great Firmament Chapter of the Sacrificial Path Dao?"....

Eldrin murmured softly, recalling the cultivation methods of the Sacrificial Path, and finally declared, "The Sacrificial Art of the Great Luo Realm is founded upon the Immortal Domain and the 10 supreme immortal treasuries."

"In essence, I am the immortal realm, I am the myriad heavens, I am all living beings—all creation is but an extension of my being."

"Then let's call it the Realm of All-Self?"

"Sacrifice to me, all to me..."

Eldrin murmured softly, a faint smile gracing his lips.

This Path of Sacrificing the Self began with sacrificing the old me, then stepped into the realm where all things are me—but where will it ultimately lead?

The Reincarnation Body shook his head and, after a long while, sighed softly. "Let us still call it the Great Luo Realm. Great Luo is boundless and transcendent. I shall only use this designation within our Sacrificial Dao path."

"Very well."

Eldrin nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to the Reincarnation Body and inquired, "Having rebuilt the Realm of Self-Refinement, when will you be able to step into the mid-stage of the Great Luo?"

"1 kalpa is more than enough!"

The Reincarnated 1 replied with serene indifference, a trace of detachment flickering deep within his pupils.

Seeing this, Eldrin nodded slightly. After a moment of contemplation, he summoned several dozen disciples and juniors, including Ye Qingfeng, Lu Wenyuan, Yuansheng, Pure Serenity Child, Chen Xianqing, and Chen Xianchang.

"We pay our respects to our master, to Father..."

Everyone present saw Eldrin and immediately dropped to their knees in reverence, saying.

Eldrin swept his gaze over the assembly and gave a slight nod of approval. Those gathered at his summons were either his personal disciples, direct bloodline descendants, or the remaining few who stood as pinnacle Celestial Immortals of truly peerless talent.

It could be said that every individual present held a glimmer of hope to attain the Great Dao of the Golden Immortal.

Arise.

At this thought, Eldrin gestured with an open palm, lifting everyone to their feet with an unseen force.

Then he pondered slightly before speaking after a moment, "Every 1 of you possesses the potential to attain Great Luo Realm. You are the most exceptional prodigies our clan has ever produced."

"This time, I have summoned you all because there is a matter I wish to entrust to you."

Everyone exchanged glances upon hearing this. The eldest disciple, Ye Qingfeng (Person Name), immediately spoke up, "Master, please enlighten us."

Eldrin nodded slightly before declaring, "The Path of Self-Devotion I forged has now been perfected to the Great Perfection Realm, stepping into the domain of minor accomplishment in the innate Great Dao."

However, to reach the pinnacle of this path, it requires the emergence of 9 Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Sacrificial Self Dao to perfect the Great Dao.

"Thus, I wish to select suitable candidates from among you to cultivate the Path of Sacrificial Ascension."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with ecstasy.

They immediately offered their congratulations, exclaiming with joyous surprise, "Congratulations, Master! We rejoice in your success! The Great Path is achieved, and the realm of the Dao Ancestor is within reach."

"We vow to dedicate ourselves to the Cult of Self-Sacrifice, striving to contribute to our master's grand path."

Eldrin chuckled softly upon hearing this, then spoke: "You must consider this carefully. The Path of Sacrificial Devotion differs from ordinary Great Daos. This path has already been mastered by me, your teacher. Should you cultivate it, you shall gain no authority over the Great Dao."

"If I, your master, cannot create cultivation techniques for higher realms, you will be forever confined to the Great Perfection Stage,"

Upon hearing this, everyone smiled faintly.

Yuan Sheng rose directly to his feet, declaring with unshakable resolve, "My master holds the grace of setting me upon the path of cultivation. What does it matter if I never obtain the authority over the Great Dao?"

"Moreover, the Path of Sacrifice I cultivate can lead 1 to the Great Perfection Realm, ranking among the strongest methods across all heavens. What have we to fear?"

Eldrin nodded, then said with a smile, "In that case, those who wish to specialize in the Path of Self-Sacrifice may remain."

In the end, all the personal disciples chose to remain, while only a handful of the nominal disciples departed.

Gazing upon those who remained, Eldrin couldn't help but smile faintly before speaking, "Since all of you have chosen to stay, this master shall no longer keep you in the dark."

"Although this master dares not claim to definitively pioneer this path to the primordial chaos realm, I can nevertheless make this vow to you all."

"Once you ascend to the Great Luo Realm through the Path of Self-Sacrifice, this master's dominion over the Dao of Self-Offering shall shelter your primordial souls from eternal dissolution."

"So long as the Path of Sacrifice remains unbroken, you shall endure with the Dao. Though this grants no dominion over the Great Dao itself, it is enough to transcend the cycle of reincarnation—rivaling even the Great Luo Golden Immortals who walk the path of Dao mastery."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces lit up with joy.

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) spoke up, "Follow me."

With these words, Eldrin led the group into the depths of the Li Fire Abyss Forbidden Grounds.

To transition to the Path of Self-Sacrifice, 1 must sacrifice their former vessel, using its foundation as cultivation resources.

The cultivators had already reached a high level of cultivation, making it extremely difficult for them to switch to the Path of Self-Sacrifice. A single misstep could lead to failure, yet there existed 1 clever workaround.

This method involved using the Creation Cauldron’s Dao of Creation to dismantle their physical bodies and employing their current cultivation foundations as sustenance to send them into the cycle of reincarnation.

This cycle of reincarnation was unlike any ordinary 1. They were not reborn in the mortal realm, nor did they enter the Wheelwell of Rebirth to cleanse their past. Instead, they underwent rebirth directly through the essence of the immortal realms, retaining all their memories.

It could be said that after stepping into the cycle of reincarnation, they became divinities born of heaven and earth.

In this process, they bypassed the initial stages of the Path of Self-Sacrifice and directly cultivated the Realm of Self-Sacrifice. Using their past existence and the essence of the immortal realm as offerings, they forged a powerful new self-body through this sacrifice.

Of course, having resorted to a shortcut method, they couldn't absorb all the materials and origin energy in 1 go.

They had to start their cultivation anew from the Sacrificial Self Realm, gradually absorbing all the accumulated foundations and essence of their past lives, ultimately striving to reach the Cosmic Heaven Realm and the Immortal Vault Realm once more.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, once these individuals exhausted the accumulated foundations from their past lives, at least several dozen of them would be able to cultivate to the Immortal Vault realm.

As for whether they could advance further and set foot in the Great Perfection Realm, that would depend entirely on their own serendipity and destiny.

In truth, Eldrin held great expectations for those who had chosen to exclusively cultivate the Sacrificial Self Realm.

Because their foundations were exceptionally high, and they were blessed by the fortune of the Sacrificial Dao, their hope of breaking through to the Great Perfection was actually not low.

In particular, Ye Qingfeng (Person Name), Lu Wenyuan (Person Name), Yuansheng (Person Name), Chen Xianqing (Person Name), and Chen Xianchang (Person Name)—each originally endowed with unparalleled natural gifts—would see their hopes of breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm vastly enhanced once they converted to cultivating the Sacrificial Path.

Most crucially, just as the Samsara Body could simultaneously cultivate the paths of Samsara and Time-Space, practicing the Sacrificial Self Dao did not hinder 1's progression along the Path of Dao Mastery.

They are highly likely to simultaneously cultivate the Great Dao and embark on the Path of Dao Mastery while using my Dao as sacrifice to prove their Great Perfection. At that time, their combat prowess would rank among the pinnacle of their peers.

Getting back to the main story, after arranging for everyone to specialize in cultivating the Path of Self-Offering, Eldrin let out a slight sigh of relief....

Since the incarnation through reincarnation, it has been of utmost importance to gather the 9 Great Luo beings for the Sacrificial Path.

For once 9 Great Perfection masters of the Sacrificial Path are gathered, the Sacrificial Path shall reach its consummate stage. With Eldrin presiding over a perfected great dao, his combat prowess would directly ascend to the realm of a Primordial Chaos Emperor.

Between the Primordial Chaos Emperor and the Great Luo Golden Immortal lay an impassable chasm.

Even a perfected Great Luo Golden Immortal, having unleashed forbidden divine abilities, would find themselves with barely enough skill to preserve their own life when facing a Primordial Chaos Emperor.

Clearly, unless Eldrin had reached the late stage of Great Luo Golden Immortality in all 3 of his foundations, it would be impossible for him to possess combat prowess of this magnitude.

"To spread the Path of Self-Offering across the 3 1000 Immortal Domains, we must first refine it to its perfected state."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, his pupils glinting with grave intensity.

After helping the others undergo body dissolution of their old forms and begin cultivating the Path of Self-Sacrifice, Eldrin immediately returned to the Abyssal Realm to continue comprehending the power of the Great Dao.

After years of cultivation, Eldrin's comprehension of the Great Dao had gradually reached completion, and his accumulation had become full and rounded.

此刻Eldrin (Person Name)不断炼化悟道茶，逐一推演完善着混元无极大道之力。

In merely 1 million years, Eldrin had advanced the Primordial Chaos Ancient Gold to minor mastery, completing the first step of his Great Dao breakthrough.

Next, Eldrin proceeded to deduce the 4 great Daos of Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth in sequence, following the principle of the 5 elements' cyclical generation.

By the time the 5 great Daos were fully deduced, Eldrin discovered that he had expended 5,000,000 years.

"A breakthrough is at hand."

After completing the deduction, Eldrin did not hesitate in the slightest. He immediately consumed a Great Dao Immortal Pill to commence his breakthrough.

This Great Dao Immortal Pill possessed extraordinary effects, primarily enhancing the comprehension of the Great Dao for Golden Immortals of the Grand Luo. After consuming just 1 pill, Eldrin (Person Name) managed to break through the bottleneck that had hindered his advancement.

For Eldrin (Person Name), breaking through the bottleneck did not require this elixir; it was more about replenishing the origin of his Great Dao to complete his metamorphosis.

The moment he swallowed the Great Dao Immortal Pill, Eldrin felt his comprehension of the Great Dao advance by leaps and bounds. Seizing the opportunity, he immediately completed the evolution of the Chaos Infinite Great Dao.

As time flowed on, another 5 million years passed before the Primordial Chaos Limitless Great Dao finally completed its transformation, evolving into the Lesser Purity Primordial Chaos Limitless Great Dao.

Seeing this, Eldrin immediately merged 10 strands of innate indestructible spiritual light, completing the ultimate transformation of the Primordial Chaos Infinite Dao.

"Finally, it's done."

Witnessing the Primordial Chaos Limitless Dao taking form, Eldrin couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

"My comprehension is truly unparalleled through the ages, yet a single breakthrough consumed a full 5 million years. How did the legendary Violet Immortal Sovereign manage to ascend to the realm of Primordial Chaos Emperor within merely a few million years?"

"Could it be that the Chaos Cauldron can alter the flow of time itself?"

Eldrin was somewhat perplexed, yet he could not uncover the truth of those bygone years.

In the end, everything could only be attributed to the heaven-defying efficacy of the Chaos Cauldron.

Since he couldn't figure it out, Eldrin had no choice but to set the thought aside and immediately began sensing the power within his body.

At this moment, Eldrin (Person Name) discovered his power could no longer be mentioned in the same breath as before.

For in this moment, Eldrin's physical form, primordial spirit, and Great Dao all stepped into the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal of the Grand Luo, finally completing an indescribable qualitative transformation.

Each of the 3 paths alone could rival the power of a seventh-level Great Luo Golden Immortal. Yet if all 3 forces were to converge as 1, the unleashed might would be comparable to that of an eighth-level Great Luo.

Moreover, this power was by no means weak even within the Eighth Level of the Great Luo. According to Eldrin's estimation, it had to be at least the strength of a Great Luo Eighth Level practitioner with a foundation of 3 Indestructibilities.

Of course, no 1 who reached the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm could be considered weak. Among them were certainly those who had cultivated multiple Indestructible Foundations, and there were even some who had successfully forged a True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), enabling them to forcibly challenge and defeat opponents at the ninth level of the Great Luo realm.

Thus, even with Eldrin's current combat prowess, he dared not claim absolute invincibility among the Eighth-Level Golden Immortals.
