Chapter 2123 : A Celestial Farewell

The Obsidian Abyss Heavenly Emperor [a title for a powerful ruler of a celestial domain] understood this as well, yet a trace of reluctance lingered in his heart.

He turned back to look at Eldrin Chen and the others, then cupped his hands in a respectful salute. "Fellow Daoists, until we meet again."

Everyone nodded in acknowledgment. The Primordial Genesis Path Ancestor [a title for an ancient founder of a cultivation path] couldn't help but smile and say, "I hope that when we next meet, you will have already stepped into the Path Union Supreme Realm [the highest echelon of the Path Union cultivation stage]."

"Well said! We shall meet again, above the Path Union realm!"

The Obsidian Abyss Heavenly Emperor cupped his hands once more, then finally strode over to stand beside Suppress Nine Heavens.

That Suppress Nine Heavens gave a faint smile. In the end, he mounted the Qilin Saint Emperor [a holy emperor of the mythical Qilin race] and soared into the sky, taking the Obsidian Abyss Heavenly Emperor with him as they tore through the Chaos [the primordial, formless state before creation] and departed.

Only after the Obsidian Abyss Heavenly Emperor had completely vanished did the assembled crowd finally release a collective sigh of relief, though a hint of profound reflection colored their expressions.

The pressure exuded by Suppress Nine Heavens had been overwhelmingly immense. Every Heavenly Emperor present had felt a sense of powerlessness in his presence.

Had Suppress Nine Heavens chosen to make a move against them, even if they had activated the Chaos Grand Formation [a grand defensive array] of the Primordial Immortal Domain, their only fate would have been utter and complete suppression.

Contemplating this, the Ant Heavenly Emperor could not help but sigh with feeling. "The Nine Revolutions Ancestral Court [a legendary and ancient sect] truly lives up to its reputation. A mere inner disciple is enough to overawe even a Blazing Center Supreme [a supreme being of immense power]."

"I wonder what kind of peerless, invincible figure the personal disciple of the Nine Revolutions Path Ancestor must be?"

The Primordial Genesis Path Ancestor merely smiled faintly and sighed before speaking. "This old man once visited the Seven Domains Alliance. Even within that alliance alone, there were several hundred Path Union Supreme cultivators."

"A Primordial Court [the foundational sacred land of a supreme power] established by a Chaos Sovereign likely possesses a foundation no weaker than the Seven Domains Alliance. The lineage of the Nine Revolutions is a top-tier Chaos Primordial Court; its depth is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine."

Eldrin Chen also nodded but did not dwell further on the topic.

With a calm expression, he looked at the assembled group and spoke. "With the departure of the Obsidian Abyss Heavenly Emperor, our overall strength has diminished considerably."

"Fortunately, before parting, Senior Suppress Nine Nether Abysses assured us that our safety would be guaranteed for ten thousand Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles spanning billions of years]."

"During this period, I urge all fellow Daoists to devote yourselves to cultivation and strive to enhance your own power as much as possible."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded slightly in agreement, then cupped their hands in farewell and departed one by one.

Eldrin Chen did not linger either. He returned to the Great Wasteland Ancient Realm to begin his final preparations for advancing the realm itself.

As time flowed on, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy [the most fundamental and potent energy of creation] within the Great Wasteland Ancient Realm grew increasingly abundant and dense.

Unbeknownst to all, more than thirty Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles] had already passed, and the Great Wasteland Ancient Realm [a primordial world] had reached the very brink of a profound metamorphosis.

"The Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy [the foundational energy of heaven and earth] has reached its limit, and the Space-Time Secret Realm [a pocket dimension where time flows differently] now holds ten times its original reserve of world essence."

Sensing the burgeoning power of the Great Wasteland Ancient Realm, Eldrin Chen murmured softly to himself before communing with the will of the world itself: "Now that the Heavenly Emperor [a supreme title for a ruler of heaven] essence is brimming, it is time to ascend to the realm of a Primordial Domain [a foundational, primordial world]."

"I wonder how your comprehension of the Chaos [the primordial state before creation] opportunity you require is progressing."

The Great Wasteland Ancient Realm did not answer immediately. Instead, it returned a strand of Chaos Genesis Energy [the primordial energy from which all things are born] to Eldrin Chen before speaking: "All preparations are complete. The breakthrough shall commence today."

"*Hum—*"

As the words faded, the Great Wasteland Ancient Realm began its ultimate transformation.

Its aura swelled to a majestic, boundless scale, blazing like a brilliant Chaos divine sun that shook the heavens and the earth, illuminating the endless expanse of the Vast and Boundless Chaos [the infinite, formless primordial void].

Even the Outer Realm Demon Emperor [a demonic sovereign from beyond this realm], far away in the Northern Abyss [the northernmost abyssal region], and the Blazing Center Supreme [a supreme title meaning 'Blazing Center'], separated by the Boundless Void [the infinite emptiness between realms], sensed this monumental event.

"Using the Chaos Spiritual Root [a spiritual root capable of absorbing chaos energy] to draw upon primordial energy, aiding the shattered Primordial Domain in restoring its foundational rank."

The Outer Realm Demon Emperor murmured slowly, a trace of icy resolve flickering between his brows.

Further away, Blazing Center Supreme's expression grew increasingly somber. After a long silence, He finally spoke: "A most ingenious maneuver. To suddenly elevate the Primordial Domain using a method that restores its foundational rank."

"Even I was caught unprepared."

As these thoughts churned within Blazing Center Supreme, He ultimately lowered His gaze, refraining from intervening to stop the Great Wasteland Ancient Realm's ascension.

Had it not been for the warning from Suppress Nine Heavens, He likely would have attempted to act, using hidden trump cards to thwart the Great Wasteland Primordial Domain's elevation in rank.

But now, with a peerless Supreme like Suppress Nine Heavens having spoken, not even He, a Supreme in His own right, dared harbor the slightest thought of defiance.

For the power of Suppress Nine Heavens was far too terrifying. Whether it was His personal might or the formidable force He represented, it was something Blazing Center Supreme dared not obstruct.

"So be it. I shall permit your arrogance a while longer."

"When the Desolate Heaven Ancient Hall opens, I shall cast you into the abyss of eternal oblivion."

"..."

Under the heavy gazes of the various powers, the Great Wasteland Ancient Realm ultimately completed the restoration of its rank.

After a long while, the Great Wasteland Primordial Domain had fully restored its rank. Its World's Origin [the foundational spiritual essence of a world] had increased by not just hundreds or thousands of times compared to before, and the world itself had expanded to an immeasurable degree.

Eldrin Chen sat meditating within the Great Wasteland Primordial Domain, personally experiencing the gradual transformation of the Great Wasteland Ancient Realm. He finally gained a sliver of enlightenment regarding the path to advancing an Immortal Domain [a higher-order realm cultivated within a practitioner's body].

"An abundant origin, a Chaos [the primordial state before creation] opportunity, and the self-generation of a Great Path [a supreme cultivation method or principle]."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, summarizing three key points for the method of advancing the Sacrificial Self Path [a cultivation path based on sacrificing parts of oneself] to a Primordial Immortal Domain [the most ancient and foundational level of an inner Immortal Domain].

The first was to make the origin of the Inner Immortal Domain [the cultivated realm within a practitioner's body] ten times more abundant. The second was to comprehend the opportunity within Chaos. Finally, the Inner Immortal Domain would spontaneously generate a Primordial Chaos Great Path [a supreme Dao born from Primordial Chaos], allowing the cultivator to directly step into the Heavenly Emperor Realm [a supreme cultivation realm].

But at this moment, Eldrin Chen had already discovered a problem: the immense difficulty of simultaneously cultivating an Inner Primordial Domain [the primordial foundation within an inner domain] and a Chaos Immortal Treasury [a treasury of power derived from Chaos].

Without sacrificing the Primordial One Immortal Domain [the foundational, unified Immortal Domain], achieving a Unique Immortal Treasury [a singular, unparalleled treasury of power] was exceedingly difficult. Conversely, without sacrificing the Ten Great Immortal Treasuries [a set of ten supreme treasuries of power], opening an Inner Primordial Domain was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

To advance an Inner Immortal Domain into a Primordial Immortal Domain without sacrificing an Immortal Treasury [a repository of immortal power]...

First, the origin of the Inner Immortal Domain must be abundant, reaching a level ten times the limit of a Primordial One Immortal Domain.

This single requirement alone is an exceedingly difficult feat to achieve. Generally speaking, one must sacrifice all of their Immortal Treasury [a cultivator's internal repository of spiritual power and treasures] to meet this condition.

Understanding this, Eldrin Chen fell into a moment of silent contemplation, his mind already beginning to formulate a solution.

He proceeded to the Returning Abyss Grotto-Heaven [a secluded realm of profound cultivation] and, turning to Nyssa Qu, declared, "I have successfully devised the method for the Inner Primordial Domain [the foundational internal world within a cultivator's body]."

"However, advancing it to an Inner Immortal Domain [an immortal-grade internal world] will likely prove far more challenging than we initially anticipated."

Eldrin Chen explained in detail, then handed the cultivation method he had created for the Sacrificial Self Path [a profound cultivation art based on self-sacrifice and refinement] Inner Primordial Domain to Nyssa Qu.

Nyssa Qu studied it briefly, a slight frown creasing her brow. "To ascend to an Inner Immortal Domain, one must accumulate ten times the usual amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy [the primordial, foundational energy of creation]. The difficulty is truly immense," she remarked.

"Even with my foundational strength, achieving such a feat seems nearly impossible."

Eldrin Chen nodded in agreement. "Therefore, my suggestion is to first cultivate the Chaos Immortal Treasury [an immortal-grade treasury forged from primordial chaos], and then return later to attempt the advancement of the Inner Immortal Domain."

Nyssa Qu nodded once more, immediately grasping the logic behind Eldrin Chen's proposal.

An Immortal Domain [a realm or domain imbued with immortal power] cultivated within one's own body through the Sacrificial Self Path naturally imposes far more stringent limitations on its advancement compared to an external Immortal Domain.

To avoid Body Explosion [a fatal outcome where the cultivator's body cannot contain excessive energy and ruptures], Eldrin Chen could not open a Space-Time Secret Realm [a pocket dimension where time and space are altered] within her Inner Immortal Domain [the internal world cultivated within an immortal's body]. He had to accomplish this step through an alternative method.

Under these circumstances, the optimal solution was to first merge the Nine Immortal Treasuries [nine foundational energy repositories within an immortal's cultivation] into one, cultivating the Sole Chaos Immortal Treasury [a singular, supreme energy repository born from primordial chaos].

This was because only the speed at which a Chaos Immortal Treasury [an immortal's energy repository connected to primordial chaos] could absorb the Sea of Chaos Water [the primordial waters of chaos, a source of immense energy] and its capacity to store Chaos Origin [the fundamental essence of primordial chaos] could meet the demands for advancing her Inner Primordial Domain [the foundational internal world of a cultivator, preceding the Immortal Domain].

Understanding this, Nyssa Qu spoke, "I have been preparing for a long time. Now that the Inner Immortal Domain Art [the cultivation art for forging an Inner Immortal Domain] is complete, it is time for my breakthrough."

Beside her, Nyssa Qu felt a flicker of concern and asked, "Advancing to the Unique Immortal Treasury [the realm of possessing a singular, perfected Immortal Treasury] is no small feat. Are you confident?"

"There is no need for worry. Having cultivated the Ten Great True Spirit Immortal Treasuries [ten supreme Immortal Treasuries forged from True Spirit foundations], merging them into one is but a natural progression, like water flowing downhill."

Nyssa Qu smiled. For this ascension to prove her Dao [the fundamental truth or path of cultivation] as a Chaos Heavenly Emperor [a sovereign whose authority stems from primordial chaos], she possessed absolute certainty.

Eldrin Chen nodded in agreement. Achieving the Unique Immortal Treasury without sacrificing the Inner Immortal Domain, relying solely on one's own power, was a challenge of monumental difficulty.

Fortunately, Nyssa Qu possessed an extraordinary foundation, having already perfected ten True Spirit Immortal Treasuries [Immortal Treasuries of the highest purity and potency]. This made her breakthrough far less arduous than it would be for others.

Seeing her resolve, Eldrin Chen hesitated no longer. He immediately retrieved a portion of Chaos Genesis Energy [the primordial energy from which all creation springs] and handed it to her, saying, "Proceed with utmost care. I shall await your emergence."

"Excellent!"

Nyssa Qu nodded and immediately began her assault on the realm of the Unique Immortal Treasury [a supreme cultivation state where one's internal spiritual world becomes a unique, unparalleled repository of power].

This time, Eldrin Chen personally guarded her secluded cultivation, even observing Nyssa Qu's breakthrough from close quarters with meticulous attention.

After all, the method to achieve the Unique Immortal Treasury was something Eldrin Chen had devised himself; he had not yet truly reached this profound state.

Fortunately, perhaps due to her overwhelmingly solid foundation, Nyssa Qu's breakthrough proceeded, on the whole, with only moments of tension but no true peril.

After an immensely long period of cultivation, Nyssa Qu directly merged her Ten Great Immortal Treasuries [ten supreme internal spiritual repositories] into one, transforming them into a single, supremely exalted Ten Extremities Unique Immortal Treasury [a unique treasury state encompassing the power of all ten extremities of existence].

Subsequently, Nyssa Qu refined Chaos Genesis Energy [the primordial energy from which all creation springs], ultimately causing her Unique Immortal Treasury to undergo a final metamorphosis. It transformed into a Chaos Immortal Treasury [an immortal treasury born from and infused with primordial chaos], radiating with a ten-colored Chaos Light [a luminous manifestation of primordial chaos].

Witnessing this scene, Eldrin Chen could not help but reveal a flicker of delighted surprise.

"The Chaos Immortal Treasury... it is complete."

Behold, Nyssa Qu slowly ascended, bathing within the boundless Primordial Chaos Great Path Sea [the vast, formless sea of primordial chaos that underlies all paths and laws]. Behind her head, a Chaos Immortal Treasury gently rose and fell, finally merging completely with her Sacrificial Self Physique [a legendary physique forged through supreme self-sacrifice and refinement].

Subsequently, Nyssa Qu opened her eyes and, with a gentle smile, looked towards Eldrin Chen. "My husband," she said, "I have finally succeeded."

"Excellent," he replied. "Now, you are the first Heavenly Emperor [a supreme title for a ruler of a heavenly domain] of the Sacrificial Self Path."

Eldrin Chen spoke slowly, a complex mix of emotions coloring his expression.

This breakthrough by Nyssa Qu not only validated the peerless nature of the Sacrificial Self Path [a profound cultivation method centered on self-sacrifice and transcendence], but also triggered indescribable changes within its Great Path Authority [the fundamental authority and laws governing a cultivation path].

Now, the Sacrificial Self Path had given birth to thirty-two Great Path Divine Form [divine manifestations or avatars representing the ultimate power of a cultivation path], placing it firmly among the most formidable ranks of the Limitless Innate Great Path [the category of supreme, boundless cultivation arts born from innate principles].

Contemplating this, Eldrin Chen turned his gaze back to Nyssa Qu. "How do you feel?" he inquired.

"Powerful," she answered simply.

Nyssa Qu spoke softly, then activated the Chaos Ten Extremities Immortal Treasury [a supreme cultivation realm representing an immortal treasury containing the ten extremities of primordial chaos] that manifested behind her head. Instantly, a force of ultimate might shook the Myriad Heavens [the collective realms of all heavens], causing the vast expanse of the Sea of Chaos [the primordial, formless ocean from which all creation emerged] to tremble violently.

Eldrin Chen nodded in acknowledgment. "Your current strength," he estimated, "places you among the absolute pinnacle of Chaos Heavenly Emperor [a title for emperors who rule over domains within or born from the primordial chaos]."

"Even if three or four ordinary Heavenly Emperor were to join forces, they would likely be no match for you. And if you were to cultivate an Inner Primordial Domain [a personal, internal universe or world cultivated within one's own body]..."

Eldrin Chen's words paused for a moment, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. "Once you succeed, I'm afraid you will ascend to the heavens in a single step, directly entering the realm of Half-Step Path Union."

"All thanks to my husband's assistance."

Nyssa Qu's heart was also stirred with excitement, her emotions difficult to calm for a time.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen said no more. Only after her emotions had settled did he finally inquire, "How do you feel? When will you have accumulated sufficient foundational essence [the primordial energy required for a major breakthrough]?"

She carefully sensed the power within her body and finally spoke. "With my current Chaos Immortal Treasury [a profound internal space for storing immense power], if I continuously convert Sea of Chaos Water [a primordial, formless spiritual substance], I can attempt the ascension to Inner Immortal Domain [a perfected internal world representing the pinnacle of an immortal's cultivation] within three hundred Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles spanning billions of years]."

"Three hundred Kalpa Tribulation."

Eldrin Chen nodded, about to say something more, but then he promptly held his tongue.

He exchanged a glance with Nyssa Qu, and then the two of them, one after the other, walked out of the Returning Abyss Grotto-Heaven.

Outside the Primordial Immortal Domain [the core territory of a supreme immortal], more than ten Chaos Heavenly Emperor [supreme sovereigns who rule over primordial chaos] had already appeared. The various Heavenly Emperor from Southern Abyss showed a flash of astonishment the very moment they laid eyes on Nyssa Qu.

"We congratulate Fellow Daoist Qu, and we congratulate the Returning Abyss Path Ancestor [the supreme title of Eldrin Chen, meaning the progenitor of the Returning Abyss cultivation path]."

Tai Nie Divine Sovereign and the others spoke first, offering congratulations to Nyssa Qu, and then made a special point of congratulating Eldrin Chen.

At this moment, everyone present was utterly astounded, a flicker of awe even coloring their expressions.

For Nyssa Qu's breakthrough into the Heavenly Emperor Realm [the supreme realm of cultivation, where one commands the laws of heaven and earth] not only signified the Southern Abyss had gained a new Chaos Heavenly Emperor [a title for a Heavenly Emperor who has mastered the power of primordial chaos], but more importantly, it proved the Sacrificial Self Path [a cultivation method that focuses on sacrificing one's own essence to achieve supreme power] could lead directly to the Heavenly Emperor Realm.

This was no trivial matter. It must be understood that the Sacrificial Self Path was already an exceptionally versatile Great Path [a supreme and profound cultivation methodology].

Although originally created for the Human Race, humans, demons, fiends, deities, and even the myriad other races could all cultivate the Sacrificial Self Path.

For such a supremely versatile Great Path, if it could only reach the Great Emperor Realm [the realm just below Heavenly Emperor], then no matter how heaven-defying it was, it would ultimately have its limits.

Those geniuses with the potential for the Heavenly Emperor Realm would not choose to cultivate the Sacrificial Self Path.

But if the Sacrificial Self Path could break through to the Heavenly Emperor realm, that changed everything. One could foresee that henceforth, a multitude of peerless prodigies would devote themselves to the Sacrificial Self Path, among them would be no shortage of those with the true seed of a Heavenly Emperor within them.

Under such circumstances, the spread of the Sacrificial Self Path would accelerate a hundredfold. It was believed it would soon permeate the Blazing Central Hundred Domains, and spreading throughout the entire Seven Domains Alliance would not be an issue.

Furthermore, the Sacrificial Self Path reaching the Heavenly Emperor Realm signified this Great Path possessed boundless potential, holding the possibility of stepping into the ChaosSovereign Realm [the legendary realm beyond Heavenly Emperor, where one becomes a sovereign of primordial chaos itself].

"Could it be that we are about to witness the rise of a Sovereign [the ultimate pinnacle of cultivation, a being who commands the fundamental laws of reality]?"

The Heavenly Emperor [a title for supreme rulers of heavenly domains] present murmured inwardly, a trace of awe coloring their expressions.

At the edge of the Endless Chaos, Blazing Center Supreme nearly smashed his table in fury, his eyes blazing with a torrent of Celestial Slaughter [a plant of immense destructive power] aura: "The bearing of a Sovereign, the potential of a Sovereign!"

"If he is allowed to mature, what place would remain for this old man?"

A chill ran through Blazing Center Supreme's heart. Finally, as if reaching a grim decision, he personally strode forth from the Blazing Central Chaos Domain, vanishing into the boundless Chaos Desolation Sea.

"My thanks for your congratulations."

Eldrin Chen offered a faint smile. After allowing Nyssa Qu to exchange greetings with the assembly, he spoke, "My wife has just achieved her breakthrough and requires time to consolidate her cultivation base [to stabilize and solidify the newly attained level of power]."

"Once she emerges from seclusion, she will be happy to reminisce with you all."

"It is of no concern. Fellow Daoist, please attend to your seclusion first."

The Heavenly Emperor smiled warmly, yet in their hearts, they resolved to forge strong ties with the Returning Abyss Lineage.

After the two had departed, Primordial Phoenix Heavenly Emperor immediately sought out Vermilion Bird Sage Ascendant. With a calm expression, he spoke: "Vermilion Bird [the mythical fire-avian spirit], you shall reincarnate and cultivate anew."

Vermilion Bird Sage Ascendant was momentarily stunned, a flicker of disbelief crossing his features.

Primordial Phoenix Heavenly Emperor gave a slight nod, his tone leaving no room for argument. "Transfer the authority over the Great Path of Vermilion Heaven Solar Fire to Blazing Phoenix, who serves under Returning Abyss Path Ancestor."

Upon hearing this, Vermilion Bird Sage Ascendant's expression shifted through several shades of emotion. Finally, he prostrated himself upon the Earthly Path [the foundational cultivation path]. "This humble one obeys the decree of the Patriarch."

With those words, Vermilion Bird Sage Ascendant departed from the Immortal Phoenix Great Hall, his bearing carrying a profound weariness tinged with desolation.

Primordial Phoenix Heavenly Emperor watched his retreating figure for a long while before speaking thoughtfully. "After your reincarnation, you may cultivate the Sacrificial Self Path. Perhaps then you will find a sliver of hope to glimpse the Heavenly Emperor Realm."

"This is an unavoidable Tribulation [a trial or calamity faced by cultivators] for you, yet it may also be your greatest opportunity."

Vermilion Bird Sage Ascendant's spirit trembled. He hurriedly prostrated himself once more, kowtowing several times to Primordial Phoenix Heavenly Emperor. "From this day forward, I, the Vermilion Bird, no longer belong to the Immortal Phoenix Clan. I shall be a disciple, a descendant, under the lineage of Returning Abyss Path Ancestor."

"To the Immortal Phoenix Ancient Clan, I can offer no further aid."

Primordial Phoenix Heavenly Emperor offered no reply, merely waving a hand in calm dismissal. "Go now."

"..."

Simultaneously, across the entire Southern Abyss Domains, the major powers began instructing their most outstanding disciples to focus exclusively on cultivating the Sacrificial Self Path [a profound cultivation method centered on self-sacrifice and rebirth].

Those peerless prodigies who had remained stagnant at the Primordial One Imperial Lord [the foundational realm for true cosmic power] or even the Great Emperor Realm [a supreme realm of immense authority] for hundreds of thousands of Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles of destruction and rebirth] began to sever their very foundations and step into Reincarnation [the cycle of death and rebirth] to cultivate anew.

Peerless freaks from the True Dragon Clan, direct disciples under Immortal Sages, and even Peerless Prodigies [individuals of unparalleled talent and potential] from the Divine Clan all firmly embarked upon the cultivation path of the Sacrificial Self Path.

For all this, Eldrin Chen had long anticipated it, yet he paid it little mind.

For the Sacrificial Self Path no longer required his personal effort to nurture and propagate. The major powers would naturally invest their own wealth and resources to cultivate the experts within their ranks who had converted to this path.

Those prodigies who could no longer advance an inch brought their own resources into their reincarnated cultivation, requiring no investment of resources from Eldrin Chen whatsoever.

At this time, Eldrin Chen returned to the Returning Abyss Grotto-Heaven [his personal pocket dimension and cultivation sanctuary]. There, he dedicated himself to two tasks: further refining the cultivation methods of the Sacrificial Self Path, and continuously elevating his own cultivation base.

By now, Nyssa Qu's cultivation had reached the Heavenly Emperor Realm [a realm of celestial sovereignty], and the distance to possessing combat power at the Half-Step Path Union [a quasi-merged state with the Heavenly Dao] was not far.

Once she successfully cultivated her Inner Immortal Domain [a perfected internal world within a cultivator], her strength would likely be not far behind that of Eldrin Chen himself.

In response, Eldrin Chen devoted himself to refining Chaos Primordial Energy [the most fundamental and potent energy of primordial chaos] and Chaos Divine Liquid [a miraculous liquid condensed from the essence of chaos] to elevate his cultivation base. Concurrently, he continued to perfect his various foundational aspects, striving to remedy all his shortcomings.

Thus, time flowed swiftly, and several hundred Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles spanning billions of years] slipped by unnoticed.

During this process, the Primordial Genesis Path Ancestor [the supreme manifestation of Eldrin Chen's cultivation path] finally cultivated its second Primordial Chaos Great Path [a fundamental law of the primordial chaos], and its cultivation level stepped into the Second Chaos Realm [the second major stage of power within the primordial chaos].

Upon reaching this stage, the power of the Primordial Genesis Path Ancestor surged once more, definitively attaining a level comparable to a Half-Step Path Union [a cultivator on the verge of unifying their cultivated paths into a single, supreme Dao].

Furthermore, according to Eldrin Chen's estimation, as the Sacrificial Self Path [a profound cultivation method centered on self-sacrifice and transcendence] continued to spread, the Great Path [the fundamental law or principle] within the Primordial Genesis Path Ancestor's Immortal Domain [a cultivator's personal realm, a microcosm reflecting their Dao] would grow increasingly potent.

Perhaps by the time the Sacrificial Self Path had spread throughout the Blazing Central Hundred Domains [a vast region of one hundred celestial domains], it would give birth to a third Chaos Divine Form [a powerful avatar or manifestation born from chaos].

When that day arrived, the strength of the Primordial Genesis Path Ancestor would surely skyrocket, allowing it to rank among the top-tier Half-Step Path Union cultivators.

Of course, the advancement of the Primordial Genesis Path Ancestor was merely a minor interlude, for Eldrin Chen himself remained immersed in arduous cultivation.

After several hundred more Kalpa Tribulation had passed, Nyssa Qu finally accumulated sufficient foundational essence and began her breakthrough into the Inner Immortal Domain [the process of forging an Immortal Domain within one's own body].

Perhaps due to her exceptionally solid foundation, Nyssa Qu's breakthrough proceeded with seamless, natural ease, culminating in the formation of a Primordial Immortal Domain [an Immortal Domain of the highest, most ancient and potent grade].
