Slaying the Dao was a sublimation. All these paramount Supremes had undergone tremendous transformations within this realm.
From the sixth to the seventh Emperor Grade layer, both realms served to consolidate the foundations of one's inner world. Although Shi Lan had only recently entered the Firmament Realm, with the Qiong Luo Realm, reaching the consummation of the Firmament Realm would take no more than a few years.
As her cultivation neared Slaying the Dao, Shi Lan had spent a great deal of time these past years reading the insights Tai Shi had once given her.
These insights contained the experiences of many Emperor Lords in Slaying the Dao and condensing Dao Fruits. The information gathered within was vast, even including some secrets passed down from the ancient era.
