This was a category that had emerged after he quantified the progress of his remaining four heavenly barriers.
Within it, 90% was a threshold. Once crossed, it meant the most crucial direction had been found. What remained was to grind away through exhaustive trial and error.
Before this simulation, both his material body and body god stood at 90%. For the remaining ten percent, unless a flash of inspiration struck, he would have to rely entirely on his own research. For the first 5%, he could probably advance 1% every hundred thousand years. The latter 5% would be slower, but the time needed for each 1% would never exceed a million years.
That speed might seem slow, but one had to consider what Zhao Cheng was cultivating now.
The path of piling up higher dimensions with lower dimensions had always been difficult. The more pillars there were, the more one had to consider their unity. With every additional barrier, the difficulty rose severalfold, or even tenfold.
If Wuluo, the former and now outdated Number One Transport Brigade Commander, learned of Zhao Cheng's rate of progress, he would definitely cry out that someone was using cheats.
In Wuluo's era, proving the Dao with seven pillars made one an Immortal Emperor; proving the Dao with eight pillars made one a Heavenly Lord.
Although Zhao Cheng was currently at six proofs, he could in fact already achieve the next barrier. His cognition had already reached that level; it was only because of the special circumstances of reality that it had yet to be put into practice.
Zhao Cheng still needed to use the Hyper-Dimensional Body to feel out the mines in the real world and see exactly where the pitfalls lay.
So in truth, Zhao Cheng was now effectively at seven proofs and
