14.1 - The Cultivation Paths That Were Erased
Throughout eternity, many paths of cultivation have been discovered, developed, and perfected. However, there exist forbidden realms—ancient cultivation methods that have been erased from history, sealed away by the will of the universe itself.
These paths were either too powerful, too dangerous, or too uncontrollable, leading to their complete annihilation.
But whispers of their existence still remain…

14.2 - The Five Forbidden Realms
I. The Realm of Eternal Regression (The Path of Infinite Rebirth)
A cultivator in this realm continuously reincarnates, each time stronger and more transcendent.
With every cycle, they retain all their power, memories, and enlightenment.
In theory, this process should lead to ultimate power, but there is a flaw:
After too many reincarnations, the cultivator loses all sense of self, becoming a mindless force of destruction.
The only known being to reach this stage disappeared from reality, their existence erased.
II. The Realm of Absolute Nullification (The Dao of Non-Existence)
This path allows a cultivator to erase themselves from existence, making them immune to all laws, attacks, and even reality itself.
Nothing can affect them, not even time, space, or causality.
However, once a cultivator reaches the peak, they cease to exist in all forms—not dead, not alive, simply not there.
Those who tried to master this path simply vanished, with no trace remaining.
III. The Realm of Primordial Reversal (The Path of Time Inversion)
A cultivator in this realm gains the ability to reverse all events, undoing any action or outcome.
Unlike normal time manipulation, this allows them to rewrite history at will.
However, every change creates a paradox, causing the universe itself to collapse under the weight of contradictions.
The last known user of this realm was erased by the universe itself, as reality rejected their existence.
IV. The Realm of Unshackled Chaos (The Lawless Path)
This is a realm where cultivators reject all rules, laws, and logic, becoming forces of pure chaos.
They are unpredictable, uncontrollable, and unbound by any concept.
While powerful, those who follow this path eventually become so unstable that even they cease to understand their own existence.
In the end, the universe itself seals them away in eternal oblivion.
V. The Realm of The Final Eclipse (The Path of the True End)
The ultimate forbidden realm, where a cultivator can consume all of reality.
This is not destruction—it is the absolute consumption of existence itself.
If a cultivator completes this path, everything, including themselves, is absorbed into the void, and nothing remains.
The only recorded attempt at this path resulted in the loss of an entire multiverse, leading to its permanent sealing.

14.3 - The Reason These Paths Were Forbidden
The fundamental reason these realms were erased from existence is that they contradicted the nature of reality itself.
The Eternal Regression led to a paradox of infinite power with no self.
The Absolute Nullification made a cultivator so untouchable that they simply ceased to be.
The Primordial Reversal broke the structure of time, causing the universe to reject its wielder.
The Unshackled Chaos turned cultivators into formless forces of destruction.
The Final Eclipse threatened the complete erasure of existence.
Thus, these paths were sealed away by the highest cosmic forces, ensuring no one could ever walk them again.

14.4 - The Lost Records and the Hidden Seekers
Even though these realms are forbidden, rumors persist that some ancient cultivators still seek them.
In the deepest voids of existence, there are whispers of beings who have not yet been erased.
It is said that certain ruins, ancient tablets, and lost scrolls contain fragments of these forbidden techniques.
However, any who attempt to uncover them vanish mysteriously, as if reality itself erases their existence.
To this day, the question remains:
Can someone master these forbidden realms without being erased?
Or is there a greater power that ensures they remain lost forever?
