He sat cross-legged atop the highest Divine Mountain in the Divine Domain.
Li Yue's black hair streamed in the wind, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
He was now only one step away from bringing his Dao into the Fourth Step.
Once his Dao entered the Fourth Step, he would reach the limit of the Four Sovereigns Dominator Divine Rank and could begin advancing to the Three Pure Ones Dao Ancestor Divine Rank.
But that single step was incredibly difficult!
The gulf between the Fourth Step and the preceding three steps was immense.
In the Mythic Dimension, the six Fourth Step existences towered over all others.
In the Star Realm Dimension, Fourth Step existences were all Emperor Lords, the pinnacle powerhouses of their civilizations.
This was the level known as Quasi-Taboo.
"To advance to the Fourth Step, my Dao must truly embark upon the taboo path."
"Only by truly embarking upon the taboo path and securing a firm foothold there will I have any hope of entering the Fourth Step."
"The taboo path..."
"According to the detailed information obtained from the Mythic Dimension and the Star Realm Dimension..."
"This is a path that does not exist, yet seems to exist."
"It does not exist in the real world, only within the will of living beings."
"If someone can embark upon the taboo path and stand firmly upon it, a wisp of taboo light will be born within their will."
"An existence who possesses a wisp of taboo light is a Fourth Step creature."
"This is also the main reason the Fourth Step is called Quasi-Taboo."
"And the main reason the Fourth Step's power far surpasses the Third Step."
Li Yue pondered.
How could I embark upon the taboo path?
And could I secure a firm foothold there?
Every Fourth Step
