Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1510

After returning to the sect, Wang Wei did not immediately contact the ancestors since they might still be in retreat. According to his calculation, 72,000 Yuan Epochs had passed, which may not have been enough for them to return to their peak. So, he requested a meeting, and to his surprise, he received a reply almost immediately.

Wang Wei flew to the Elder Council Mountain where he saw Yan Hai and the others' projection was waiting. "Aren't you guys here a little too fast?" Wang Wei asked.

"We had to leave our retreat after sensing the sudden change of Heaven and Earth," Qiyuan replied. "No one is here, so you can sit down anywhere." The arrangement of the room was simple but showed a clear hierarchy. Four cushions stood in a slightly elevated position at the front of the room, while the rest were in large clumps in the lower section.

However, Wang Wei also noticed there were 45 seats at the front of the clumps while the rest had more than a hundred. He remembered the information about the sect and realized the front seats were the Peak Paragons.

'If I remember correctly, the front row previously had 57. The casualty of the ultimate taboo is not as high as I thought,' Wang Wei thought. Losing more than 10 Peak Paragons was a significant loss to any faction, but considering the scale of the event, this number was acceptable since other factions would lose more.

Everyone sat in a circular pattern in the lower section, so Wang Wei sat next to Yan Hai.

"I'm guessing whatever changes occurred have something to do with you," Yan Hai said.

"Yes, and no," Wang Wei admitted before telling them about Grand Dao's great reveal.

"The Transcendent Era is already here," Qiyuan muttered. The upcoming catastrophe was just to speed up things.

"Wai, what about us, body refiners?" Wang Chong asked. "Our soul is fused with our bodies, and we don't have a Dao. Do we have to start cultivating Power Dao?"

"You may not have a soul, but you have a mind," Li Ming said. "You can also use your willpower for the Soul Quintessence. As for Dao, you may have to study the Power Grand Dao Source."

"Isn't the True Power Dao Realm the purest essence of the Power Dao? You just need to understand the concept of Power to a sufficient level for the Dao Quintessence," Yan Hai chimed in.

"You, of all people, have deep insight into body refining. I think I've officially seen everything in the Chaos Universe," Wang Chong said, not hiding his shock.

"Shut up, you jerk. Now that I'm refining my body, it won't be long before I can use my flesh body to suppress you," Yan Hai sneered.

"You can try," Wang Chong fired back. He would rather die than let this woman beat him in a competition of the flesh.

"So, what do you think?" Qiyuan asked, talking to Wang Wei.

"About what?"

"About Pure Body Refiners' Path in the Quintessence Realm."

"The name of the realm is itself a trap on people's minds," Wang Wei sneered. "There is no need to follow the three steps. A pure body refiner can probably transcend their bodies three times to become a third-step Quintessence powerhouse. In fact, my theory is that's how things were in the Essence Age."

"That would be simpler," Wang Chong said. "However, each transition would have to be exponentially more potent than the previous one, and that's not mentioning the resources that each transition would require. If this is what the transcendent path was like in the Essence Age, I understand why Grand Dao limited it."

"How would that work with the gates?" Li Ming asked. "Would it require condensing a fifth and sixth gate?"

"Why not?" Wang Wei replied before further elaborating. "The fourth gate requires the combination of the Gate of Ascension, Gate of Power, and Gate of Flesh. Maybe you need to create three new subsidiary gates from the 4th gate and combine them into the fifth gate. No, it would require sixth subsidiary gates for the fifth, and nine for the sixth. Then, you combine the 4th, 5th, and 6th gates to create the 7th gate to achieve [True Transcendence]."

Wang Wei's eyes as this path had great potential. However, his body suddenly paused as he realized the implications. If the 7th Gate is already on par with True Transcendence, what about the 8th and 9th gates? Was that possible?

Wang Wei was not the only one who understood numerology, so the others soon had the same thought as him. Then, a chill ran down their spines. They had never considered whether there was a further path beyond [Transcendence] since they were all focused on that first. But now, they had to think about it, and the implications scared them.

"No need to think about things beyond our understanding," Qiyuan said, and everyone nodded. So, besides Wang Wei, the others immediately put that thought on the back of their mind, with a spell to remind them when they are more powerful.
