Chen Nianzhi nodded slightly upon hearing this.
The seven great emperors of the Three Talents and Four Symbols had originally all possessed the foundations to attain the level of sub-saints, barring any mishaps.
Yet for various reasons, their foundations had remained incomplete, preventing them from entering the sub-saint realm.
If they wished to return to the sub-saint realm now, it would largely depend on whether they could make up for their own potential.
However, replenishing their potential would require at least nine strands of Hongmeng Origin Essence for each of them, and Chen Nianzhi was unwilling to waste any for the time being.

Most crucially, there were limits to refining Hongmeng Primordial Essence. Before Chen Nianzhi broke through to the Chaos Heavenly Emperor realm, he could cultivate at most twelve strands of Hongmeng Primordial Essence.
