Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor-Chapter 1510: Essence Gate Art

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.

'Interesting. Could Hongmeng not be the end of cultivation? Or do the rules operate differently? But if there are rules, can I still have absolute freedom?' Wang Wei did not know the answer to these questions, and he probably won't for a while. However, a seed had been implanted in his mind by this deduction.

"Your path is viable," Qiyuan commented. "However, it won't be easy to create those subsidiary gates."

"Transcendence was never meant to be an easy path," Wang Chong said, not hiding his excitement. Now that he had a way forward, he could dedicate his time, effort, and talent to this goal.

"I can give you a copy of my Fourth Gate Technique, but it's only 13% completed now, and it will take me a little while for it to reach 30%," Wang Wei suggested. This path might seem useless to him, but it's not.

His current plan is to achieve Soul Quintessence before the flesh. However, after entering the second step, he can still use this path to create a 5th gate, drastically increasing his strength in the second step. In fact, this technique might be the key for Wang Wei to retain his dominance of strength in the Quintessence Realm, along with the flawed Dao Quintesse.

"I'll start with the 13% version," Wang Chong said with shining eyes. It seems his luck was on the rise.

Wang Wei nodded and gave him a copy. "You should be warned that you must also recondense your Gate of Ascension."

"Already in the process," Wang Chong revealed. During the Second Origin War, he encountered people from the Primeval Body Mansion and learned of that gate's importance.

"That's good to hear," Wang Wei nodded.

"Do you have any other ideas for the [Essence Gate Art]?"

Wang Wei's lips twitched. This bastard hadn't even created a Fourth Gate yet, but he had already named the technique for creating the subsequent gates. Regardless, he thought about it for a moment.

"The core of the fourth gate is the [Gate of Flesh]. The Gate of Ascension symbolizes improvement and evolution, and the Gate of Power is the foundation of body refining. They combined to give the 'flesh' the possibility to evolve to a higher state of existence — it grants them higher potential.

The Fourth Gate can be called the Gate of Evolution or the Gate of Transformation. The subsequent gates must allow the body to evolve and increase its potential.

"When I met the people from the mansion, they organized the type of cultivation based on the approach, like Yin Qi Path, Giantification Path, or World Body Path. Our clan will soon have a Human Fiendgod Bloodline, meaning we walk the Bloodline Path.

"Maybe the subsidiary gates are based on these paths. For example, the Bloodline Gate, and since you cultivated the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture], you can condense an Artifact-Body Fusion Gate and a Star Body Gate."

A bright light emanated from Wang Chong's eyes. They said a man can die the next day after being enlightened, and he had never understood these words more than today. "I'll take my leave," Wang Chong said before canceling his projection. Immediately afterward, the others felt someone accessing all of the sect's Qi Luck to cultivate, but they did not stop him.

"I'm glad he found his path," Qiyuan smiled.

"What about you guys?" Wang Wei asked.

"This Soul Quintessence Technique is too biased toward Time Dao, so I'll probably change it to suit me more," Yan Hao said, and Qiyuan nodded in agreement.

"My Hong'er said the same thing," Wang Wei said without a hint of shame on his face. freewebnoveℓ.com

"It's the best approach," Qiyuan said.

"I don't know." Everyone looks at Li Ming.

"Is something wrong?"

"I have this feeling this may not be the best-suited path for me," Li Ming said. As a fighter, his soul and body were in top shape, albeit not the best. However, he felt the standard path might not fit his personality and ambitions.

"I may have a suggestion." Everyone looked at Wang Wei.
