Liam furiously searched the information packets he had in his possession to understand the steps to power. However, the many documents in his possession only vaguely described the process.

From the looks of it, the path of an immortal was only similar in the very beginning stages when a person is mortal or awakened. Once they crossed the transcendent stage, the path was described as extremely unique to oneself.

This meant there was no set roadmap, no surefire steps to follow to guarantee success. Liam already knew that gaining levels after a certain point was no longer about killing other living things. It looked like ultimately everything came down to the dao seeds.

Liam felt a little hopeful at this point because if it was dao seeds, he had them aplenty.

All he had to do to cross the 999 threshold and become a transcendent was to nurture one of these dao seeds into a dao fragment.

Liam controlled his urge to immediately dive into the path to obtain more power and continued perusing the information packets in his possession. He wanted to do it right.

His patience was immediately rewarded.

As Liam went through some information regarding the Spire of Ascension, he saw that the place had several rigorous rules and restrictions set in place. The one that first caught his eye was how a person could only enter once per stage. The Spire itself was accessible only after someone was awakened and between the awakened and transcendent stage, only one use was possible.

Liam frowned at the thought of how Eldrin had conveniently failed to tell him this crucial bit of information.

While he still would have been able to enter the Spire, he would have already used the chance that was available after becoming a Transcendent and missed his first chance. But the elf would have still kept his two chances and entered the Spire twice.Liam sighed and decided to let this go. The elf had after all done more than enough by bringing him here. He always knew that the crafty guy couldn't be trusted completely and this did not come as a total shock.

Liam put away all of his information packet scrolls and quickly removed the crystal from the array edges, immediately turning off the platform. The barrier turned off and he stepped out.

Liam did not waste any time in getting rid of the nether gathering formation as he did not trust the insane affinity nether had with his body. Who knew if he spent a few more minutes in the array, he might just make another breakthrough and get over to the Transcendent stage.

Liam smiled ruefully as he shook his head. His current position was rather precarious. He contemplated his next step when Dante and Luna stared at him with weird expressions.

lightsΝοvel "You are done?" Dante asked.

Liam did not answer him and instead looked at the system prompt that flashed in front of him. It once again displayed the several different cultivation chambers available at his disposal.

The feast was all laid out in front of him and yet he did not dare take a bite. On one side, there was the danger of crossing level 1000 by accident and on the other side, he did not want to gain too many dao seeds as the elven ancestor had warned him against it.

"This is problematic…" Liam mumbled.

Dante revealed a smug smile at the sight of Liam's big frown. Little did he know that if he became aware of Liam's problems, he would die of a brain stroke.lights

Liam stood silently for a while before he finally sighed and stepped out of the last floor. This facility was a system standard edition facility so there was no point in him rushing to use this. It would be more beneficial if he waited until after he visited the Spire of Ascension first and then used it to step to the next stage.

Just when he was thinking about what to do next, Rey's message chimed in saying that Lan Deming was severely injured and if he had any stronger healing pills or potions that he could spare.Hmmm… Liam stared at the message.

"Isn't there some days left before the auction officially starts?" He mumbled.

"Yes?" Dante hesitantly replied, wondering what was going on.

However, Liam did not say anything else. He silently started walking along the corridor and before any fairy could appear to escort them, he descended to the previous floor.

"What are you doing?" Dante frowned.

"Just planning to kill some time." Liam cracked his neck as a smile appeared on his face. As if she understood what he meant, a little fox peered her head behind his neck, mirroring the smile on his face.

Dante started sweating. He did not know why but he did not have a good feeling about what was going to happen. But everything was already out of his control and the water had reached his head. He could only stare dumbfoundedly at Liam casually walking over to the fighting pits counter.

"Oh? He is just going to fight continuously?" Dante slightly relaxed. It made sense. He had heard rumors about Liam being a hardworking freak who fought continuously, working non-stop day and night. He was probably going to do the same with the fighting pits.

"He He. This is better than the training room." Dante let out a sigh of relief.

If Liam had been in training rooms, a significant portion of his funds would have disappeared but now that he was going to fight day and night, nothing would be spent and he would still have the time to plot something.historical

Dante's mind began to spin thinking of all sorts of strategies when suddenly he noticed that Liam's figure was no longer at the fighting pits.

"What? Where are you going?"

The alchemy grandmaster opened his mouth wide open as his gaze landed on the familiar figure now standing at the beast egg counter.

"What the fuck? What is he doing there?" Dante gulped.
