Wang Wei clenched his fists and immediately noticed the change, and he was not talking about glistening his skin but the strength of his fleshly body.
'Dragon-Phoenix Realm 6th step,' he thought. Moreover, he was at the peak of this realm. If not for the bottleneck that exists between the 6th and 7th steps, he would have reached a higher level. However, he did not care. He will use his wife's seal to deal with that bottleneck - just as he did for the 4th step and how he will do for the 10th step.
'Next is my soul.' Wang Wei closed his eyes as he sensed the changes in his Paragon Soul. 'It probably increases from being on par with 91 to 92 Grand Dao Source to 93-94 Grand Dao Source, which should be excellent news.'
According to his theory, since Empyreans need to cultivate or condense a Paragon Soul to enter the next realm, individual and independent soul cultivation will be required from now on in the Paragon Realm. There is even the possibility that soul quality will return to the equation again. So, if his guess is correct, he won't have to worry about his soul until his cultivation reaches 94% Grand Dao Source.
"Next is the Taboo Realm." Wang Wei focused on his [Dao Body], which could now be called [Perfect Dao Body], and activated his [Awakening]. As soon as his first palace appeared, he noticed the difference. Unlike how it looked before, the palace now had a monument with 13 circles, each containing a lotus inside.
'Circle represents wholeness and completeness - also a symbol for perfection. Lotuses symbolize purity, enlightenment, and spiritual perfection. Then, there is the number 13.'
All other nine palaces had the same monument, but after the 10th was condensed, Wang Wei briefly saw an illusory 11th before dissipating. Moreover, he felt the palaces were not more connected than before.
'Could it be that something will happen after I condense all 12? No, it should be after condensing the 13th.' He smiled as he could not wait. He used all his Grand Dao Boosts, and his strength rapidly increased: 67%...68%...69%...69.9%...70%.
Wang Wei felt he had broken a barrier, entering a new field of power, strength, and confidence. The feeling was unlike when he used the Illusory Pill, as this was his own power. He was no longer on the near orgasmic sensation of having this much power since he was used to it and continued analyzing his strength.
'I was right. The Perfect Foundation's purpose was not to grant me Taboo Battle Realm - that was just a byproduct. Its main purpose is to increase my chances of becoming Half-Step Transcendence and even ensure I am the best amongst my peers once I reach that realm,' Wang Wei analyzed, his eyes twinkling with wisdom.
'The Taboo Battle Realm also has its purpose besides granting people high battle prowess,' he thought, sensing everything in his battle. 'The foundation added [perfection] to my [Existence], and the Taboo Battle Realm also added something. However, it's not completely formed yet, meaning I most likely need to achieve it in the Empyrean and Paragon Realm before completion.
'And once that is done, there is a high chance that it will either help me achieve Half-Step Transcendence or be useful afterward.'
Wang Wei believed that the Taboo Battle Realm was a checkpoint Grand Dao created for the path of Half-Step Transcendence. He even believed that the minimum requirement to achieve it is Paragon Realm, and the person must be willing to walk a similar path as Heavenly Book Paragon that involves abandoning most of their powers or placing themselves in a weakened or vulnerable state for an extended period (not necessarily need to reincarnate). Such a method was the orthodox path - which requires a lot of time and effort - while his was a shortcut that can even be considered cheating.
Wang Wei focused back on his strength. 'I can feel that this is not my limit.' He continued to add his Grand Dao Boost with expert control of his Dao Imprint. So, his strength increased: 70.1%...70.5%...70.7%...70.9%...70.999%.
'I've hit another limit?' Wang Wei thought. He felt all his boosts could get him even more power - especially since he already had entered a new level in his Force Control skill, [Pseudo True Heavenly Dao Control]. He finally made a breakthrough with his experience watching that new world becoming a Heaven Will and directly controlling the True Heavenly Dao Will during the transformation.
