Unfathomable Senior Chapter 653

‘This isn’t as easy as I expected it to be… but nothing that matters ever is.’

Zhang Dong was sitting in sothing that looked like a room that was lifted from an apartnt. The back of it was missing and instead of walls, it was surrounded by a bubble made of energy. The outside was in an empty space covered by thick cent-looking rocks. It was illuminated from all sides and floated directly in the middle. The lack of any windows and doors was on purpose as only he could get in here through the help of his system.

This place was hidden away in the Dinsional Regalia that housed a continent-sized pocket dinsion. It was the best place to hide away such an important treasure and perhaps enough to keep the overseer away. Considering that it was an immortal grade treasure, perhaps the one pretending to be the Azure Emperor’s wife would not be able to get in.

What he wanted to do here was figure out how ti worked. The Dao of ti was mostly unknown to him but after seeing the creatures that were frozen in ti, he hoped to figure so things out. Bob had been able to sowhat hack himself into the room to present him with a few things. It was now sowhat possible for him to recreate the effect through this machine but he didn’t really understand the concept of it.

For the test, he brought over a lone creature from the outside. It was just a little spirit mouse that had been put on hold. The ti around it had been slowed down but not really frozen as it was still moving. Through the machine, he could sowhat slow down or speed up the passage of ti around this little creature. However, stopping it outright wasn’t that easy, first of all, it required him to use spirit points and a lot of them.

‘So, if I wanted to stop ti for one second with this thing, I’d need a year's worth of spirit points?’

‘Affirmative.’

‘That’s quite sothing and I can’t even activate it unless it’s outside of this chamber…’

To be frank, the plan to learn the Dao of Ti to counter the ti-stopping effect of the Azure Empress was looking grim. With his current understanding, he would not be able to speed up or slow down everything by more than a fraction of a second. He did not even know if he would be able to move at all if the sa thing happened again.

‘It’s better than nothing though…’

There were a few ways of using this thing and at least he was able to go through the tip of the iceberg. There was a chance that he could protect himself against the ti-stopping effect if he did things right. Luring the woman over here would be one thing and sothing that he even thought about.

The sea shell that he took from the Cerulean Empress was still in his possession but he decided not to use it yet. He worried that the mont he did sothing would happen to his mutated seed. It could attract the Azure Empress to this location which he wanted to postpone.

‘Maybe it would be possible to trap her here and ask her so questions… But will I be strong enough to tackle her by myself?’

By analyzing the Overseer from the other world he knew that his next opponent should be above the nascent soul level. After revisiting the secret ground that he was forced to go through he beca aware of one truth. Sothing that created this world was keeping people from reaching the immortal realm through regular ans.

Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishnt, Core Formation, and last Nascent Soul. These were the first four realms that were freely accessible to the people of this world. However, there was a new realm above the Nascent Soul that was still below the immortal realm.

After going through the research of his predecessor, he ca to a conclusion. The realm above the nascent soul level should have been easily reached by him. All clues pointed to mastering a greater Dao and he had mastered multiple ones already. Dao of Heavenly Lightning, Dao of Holy, Dao of Darkness, Dao of Flas, Dao of Wind, and Dao of Gravity were the ones that he had fully mastered.

There were ones that he had not yet fully comprehended as the Dao of Swords that he was also very proficient at. Yet this should have already been enough for him or anyone else to break through into the next realm. He could even conclude that fully mastering a greater Dao was not really needed for the stage above the nascent soul.

‘He nas the stage after this Dao Enlightennt stage, then after it would be the Dao Mastering stage or Dao rging stage. The first one was probably where you mastered one greater Dao and in the next one you had to do the sa with multiple ones, maybe even combine them into sothing greater…’

This was his theory that he ca up with and also ran through Bob which gave him a high probability of it being true. There were at least two new realms that this world was stripped of. Without getting into those stages a person’s spirit sense would not be able to evolve either. Their understanding would reach a bottleneck that could never be broken.

The sa thing was happening to him, without the help of the system he would not have been able to gather so many new greater Daos. Even though he knew so many it was still not possible for him to get into the true immortal stage and perhaps even if he absorbed the Dao of Water and Wood that he was given, not much would change.

‘If the stage before the Immortal realm is the Dao rging stage, it might require to combine at least two Greater Dao’s with each other in so way…’

Zhang Dong had tried this theory already and it wasn’t that hard to complete with his attacks. Combining the Dao of Wind with the Dao of Fire to create a Firestorm technique wasn’t that hard but this didn’t seem to be the issue. There was sothing missing, it was more likely that he needed to create a grand Dao of sothing by rging the greater Daos together with each other.

‘The main elental Daos are wind, earth, water, and fire. Then there is also wood, holy, and darkness that sotis are accounted for… Do I have to combine them all into sothing to reach the Immortal stage? Maybe it would be enough to combine the four base ones?’

He was not sure what he should do or if it was even possible. If he was supposed to combine greater Daos into a grand one then they all had to be connected to so type of source. Just like there was a lesser Dao of Rainwater that connected to the greater Dao of Water, all of these elents had to co from sothing.

‘There could be sothing that all of them ca from… like a point of origin, sothing like a Pri elent that they all stem from… In theory, if I could figure out what this Pri elent is, then I’d be able to open up this seed and enter the Immortal realm.’

Now ca the focal point of the issue. For him to start his research he would need to analyze all of these various elents to find a connection. Perhaps it was enough to analyze the paths that he already knew but maybe he needed the two others that were for now inside the seashell.

‘This might take a while, I wonder how long other masters took to get through this…’

He started considering the life spawn increase after reaching a realm above the nascent soul one. Perhaps it reached sothing like then thousand years for the first one and a hundred thousand for the next one. It was unclear but it probably gave each master a lot of ti to ponder their Daos in peace and tranquility.

‘Well, I should have so ti to do it…The Empire has gotten quite peaceful and if that woman hasn’t appeared I should be able to continue.’

For a mont he deliberated about hiding himself in one of the spawn zones that appeared as black circles on his map. The walls were made from an incredibly hard substance that he couldn’t break. However, after Bob inford him about them being connected to the world’s system he decided to not go with that option.

All his attempts to cultivate safety didn’t go to fruition. He had convinced himself that the mont he began a transformation into the immortal realm or one of the other two realms that were blocked, the Overseer would be at his doorstep. He was not sure how strong his next opponent was but she had to at least be in the next realm but also could be in the other one right before the immortal realm.

‘Well, I’m not in a rush for now… maybe this is for the best…’

With peace sowhat returning to the empire he finally had so ti on his hands. His children were continuing to grow and he hoped to be there to witness everything. Perhaps he was being a bit selfish but he wanted to at least take so ti off and enjoy the current state of things.

His lifespan would be around a millennium and his current age was not even forty years old. The body that he currently had would not age and even if it did it wouldn’t really matter. His soul was trendous and would allow his Qi to remain almost as powerful until the mont he died.

With this in mind, he decided to make a few moves. It would be one of the first tis that he actually went into a state of closed cultivation. He needed to focus on examining all of the various Daos that he had and connecting them to the others. Only after learning what he could learn from the paths he already had would he attempt to use the sea shell because when he did that, the end of this world might be upon him.

His shoulders felt heavy as he had to wrestle with a moral conundrum. Was it really fine to allow this world to perish if he failed? Like in the other world, the Overseer was trying to wipe it clean and the sa thing could happen here. Perhaps it was better to live out his long life with his family and let it all go, who was he to decide their fate?

Even with those thoughts clouding his judgnt he needed to push forward. The possibility of this unknown being wiping this world clean even without his involvent was also probable. When that ti ca, he just needed to be ready and give it his all. If there was sothing he could do to protect the people that he cared about, he would work tirelessly to achieve this goal.
