Chapter 556 : The Patriarch's Personal Disciple

Support Revive Chen set down the ancient scroll, his expression turning grave.

After a moment of contemplation, he finally spoke, "Since it is the Patriarch's command, Support Revive naturally obeys."

Seeing his agreement, Eldrin Chen nodded with a smile. "This Ancient Vast Sea Scroll is not the most perfect match for your Triad Path Body [a rare and powerful physique that allows cultivation along three distinct paths simultaneously]. From now on, you shall cultivate by my side. I will use the Ancient Vast Sea Scroll as a foundation to gradually refine and perfect a cultivation method for you."

"My deepest gratitude, Patriarch."

Support Revive Chen bowed deeply to the ground, his face alight with joy and astonishment.

To receive personal instruction from a True Lord [a high-ranking cultivator who has mastered profound truths]—what an immense and heaven-sent opportunity this was.

With a final nod of approval, Eldrin Chen casually bestowed several precious gifts upon him. "You may withdraw for now," he said. "I shall summon you again in a few days."

"As you command."

Watching Support Revive Chen depart, Exquisite Jiang, who had been standing nearby, raised an eyebrow. "It is rare to see you so dedicated, taking the time to nurture the younger generation with such care."

Eldrin Chen offered a serene smile. "Such fine jade and promising talent requires meticulous carving to reveal its true brilliance. Leaving it to grow wild would be a tragic waste of heaven-bestowed potential." This chapter is provided by site: audio-novel.com. Support the original.

"It is the same."

Exquisite Jiang nodded slightly. Not all those blessed with heaven-defying talent are destined to walk the longer path.

Looking across the entire ancient domain, there are actually quite a few prodigies with Path Body [a rare and powerful innate constitution]. Yet, many of these individuals perish before reaching the Infant Soul [the stage where a cultivator's nascent soul is formed]. Even among those who achieve something, most only attain a Mortal Path Infant Soul [a nascent soul formed through a common, earthly cultivation method]. To achieve an Earthly Path Infant Soul [a nascent soul of superior quality, aligned with profound earthly principles] is already considered a stroke of deep fortune.

Someone like Path Master Unreal, who managed to obtain Heavenly Path Energy [a supreme spiritual essence aligned with the Heavenly Dao], is exceedingly rare and cannot be judged by ordinary standards.

Suppressing these thoughts, Eldrin Chen said no more and returned to his Seclusion Chamber [a chamber for isolated meditation and cultivation] to begin consolidating the insights gained from this recent discourse on the Dao.

"..."

Three months passed in the blink of an eye. Eldrin Chen began personally instructing Support Revive Chen and Literature Abyss Lu in their cultivation.

On this day, Eldrin Chen summoned the two. Gazing at Literature Abyss Lu and Support Revive Chen, he said, "Your constitutions are unique. To fully unleash the power of your Path Body, it is best to cultivate techniques that are most compatible with your Path Union [the stage of harmonizing one's body with the Dao]."

"Allow me to observe your Path Body more closely, so I may tailor and deduce cultivation arts specifically for you."

"Literature Abrus, step forward."

"As you command."

Literature Abyss Lu gave a nod and stepped forward.

Eldrin Chen reached out and grasped Literature Abyss Lu's wrist. A wisp of his divine sense [a cultivator's spiritual perception] probed into the other's physical body, beginning to explore the mysteries of this Four Symbols Path Body.

"This is..."

After a brief observation, Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed slightly, revealing a trace of solemnity.

Upon closer inspection of Literature Abyss Lu's Path Body, he discovered that within its Innate state, it contained profound Dao patterns [mystical inscriptions representing fundamental cosmic principles]. Each strand of these patterns was unfathomably deep, leaving even Eldrin Chen feeling they were somewhat inscrutable.

"These Dao patterns are profoundly intricate and complex. To fully comprehend them would be to master the Four Symbols Arcane Power, and perhaps even glimpse the Path Principles Power of the Four Extremities."

Eldrin Chen mused inwardly, feeling a sudden flash of insight. His understanding of the four forces—fire, metal, wood, and water—deepened in an instant.

Although this was still some distance from fully grasping the four Arcane Power, it was a significant harvest for Eldrin Chen, providing substantial inspiration.

"My initial intent was to nurture talented juniors out of appreciation for their potential. I never imagined that observing the profundity of a Path Body could also aid my own cultivation."

"If I can thoroughly comprehend the Four Symbols Path Body [a legendary physique embodying the four cardinal beasts], extracting its essence to enrich my own foundation, it would greatly benefit my efforts in deducing new cultivation arts."

"Truly, every cause has its effect, and every encounter holds its destined purpose."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, then settled his mind to begin observing the Path Body [a special innate constitution granting unique cultivation advantages].

Literature Abyss Lu's cultivation was merely at the Foundation Establishment [the second major realm where a cultivator builds their spiritual foundation] stage, so the profound mysteries of his Path Body were not yet fully manifested. With Eldrin Chen's exceptional comprehension, it took only a moment to memorize nearly all of its Dao patterns [the fundamental spiritual inscriptions of a Path Body].

After a long while, Eldrin Chen withdrew his hand and said, "Return to your cultivation for now. Once I have perfected the art, I will impart it to you."

After Literature Abyss Lu departed, Eldrin Chen continued his examination of Support Revive Chen's Path Body.

As Eldrin Chen had anticipated, Support Revive Chen's physique also provided him with significant inspiration.

After both had left, he began to ceaselessly calculate and deduce, crafting the most suitable cultivation arts for them.

Given Eldrin Chen's current profound foundation and cultivation level, creating low-tier arts from such a lofty vantage point was effortless. He could even devise a technique for the Golden Core Realm [the realm where spiritual energy condenses into a golden core] without much difficulty.

Thus, in merely seven days, he had already crafted a most suitable cultivation art, the Four Symbols True Art [a profound technique based on the four celestial beasts], tailored specifically for Literature Abyss Lu's Path Body [a unique physical constitution aligned with the Great Dao].

This art converged the Four Symbols Power [the combined might of the four celestial beasts], enabling cultivation up to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment [the pinnacle of the Foundation Establishment stage]. It even contained four distinct Divine Ability [supernatural powers derived from profound cultivation].

Yet, Eldrin Chen was not satisfied with this alone. He spent another month, pushing the Four Symbols True Art to the realm of Great Perfection of Violet Sanctum [the ultimate stage of the Violet Sanctum realm].

He stopped there, not because he couldn't continue the derivation, but because Literature Abyss Lu's cultivation was still too low. The subsequent Dao patterns [the fundamental principles and structures of the technique] of the Four Symbols True Art were still evolving. Forcing out a Golden Core Chapter [the section of the art pertaining to the Golden Core realm] now might not suit his future cultivation path.

Furthermore, it would take Literature Abyss Lu over a hundred years to reach Great Perfection of Violet Sanctum. There would be ample time to observe and refine the art later.

After perfecting the Four Symbols True Art, Eldrin Chen once again set his mind to creating a cultivation art for Support Revive Chen.

The Triad Path Body [a constitution harmonizing the powers of Heaven, Earth, and Man] was also profoundly mysterious. He toiled for more than a month before successfully deriving this art to the Great Perfection of Violet Sanctum.

Having created two cultivation arts, Eldrin Chen summoned the two disciples and handed them the two scrolls.

He looked at Literature Abyss Lu and said, "The art I have created for you is named the Four Symbols True Art. This method can lead you to the Great Perfection of Violet Sanctum. Moreover, it allows for the simultaneous cultivation of four types of spiritual power [the refined energy wielded by cultivators]—metal, wood, water, and fire—and possesses a potent effect on tempering the physical body."

"This art comes with four Divine Ability: the Vermilion Bird Body Refinement [refining the body with the Vermilion Bird's essence], the White Tiger Bone Forging [forging bones with the White Tiger's might], the Black Tortoise Blood Tempering [tempering blood with the Black Tortoise's vitality], and the Azure Dragon Body Nourishment [nourishing the body with the Azure Dragon's essence]. When these four Divine Ability are combined, they form the Four Extremities Body Refinement Art [the Art of Refining the Body through the Four Extremities], capable of forging the ultimate physical form."

"This cultivation art is the most compatible with your Path Body [a special innate physical constitution], making it the most suitable technique for you. Once mastered, the latent potential of your Four Symbols Path Body [a constitution embodying the power of the Four Cardinal Beasts] can be continuously unlocked."

After speaking, his gaze shifted to Support Revive Chen and he continued, "As for you, Support Revive, your assigned technique is called the Triune Path Scripture [a scripture focusing on the harmonious cultivation of the three fundamental aspects of being]."

"This method can converge the triune power of Vital Essence, Energy, and Spirit [the three foundational energies: physical vitality, internal energy, and spiritual essence]. It allows for the simultaneous cultivation of the physical body, the soul, and the mana pool, fusing these three aspects into a seamless whole where they endlessly cycle and reinforce one another, perpetually strengthening the triune force."

"If you cultivate it to a profound level, there will be no weakness in your physical form, your mana, or your soul."

Literature Abyss Lu took the scripture and could not suppress a look of ecstatic joy.

According to the scripture's description, the Four Symbols True Art could also manifest the Four Extremities True Body [a divine ability that dramatically enhances physical power by channeling the essence of the Four Cardinal Directions], vastly augmenting Literature Abyss Lu's bodily strength.

Most importantly, its underlying concept was utterly Extraordinary. Theoretically, if it could be continuously refined and expanded in the future, the Four Symbols True Art represented a Great Path [a supreme and complete cultivation methodology] leading directly to Fleshly Body Sanctification [the ultimate purification and ascension of the physical form].

The foundational concept behind Support Revive Chen's technique was equally Extraordinary. According to Eldrin Chen's vision, if the Triune Path Scripture were perfected to its ultimate extreme, it should be able to converge one's entire foundational essence, coalesce the Vital Essence, Energy, and Spirit into a state of Trinity Unity [perfect, inseparable fusion of the three foundational energies], and form the legendary Leakless Path Fruit [a flawless, self-sustaining cultivation core], enabling one to become an Immortality Path Fruit Immortal [an immortal whose power stems from a perfected, eternal cultivation core].
