The gap between Sequence Six and Sequence Seven was not merely a rise of one sequence rank. It was a leap to an entirely different level.
The increase in lifespan alone made that clear.
Sequence Seven had a lifespan of only six hundred years, twice that of Sequence Eight and four times that of Sequence Nine.
But Sequence Six had a lifespan of six thousand years-ten times that of Sequence Seven, twenty times that of Sequence Eight, and forty times that of Sequence Nine.
That was longer than most civilizations had existed.
The difference in lifespan alone revealed the gulf between Sequence Six and Sequence Seven.
A Sequence Seven Adept could suppress Sequence Eight Adepts. Chu Sheng could not even imagine how powerful Sequence Six must be.
That was precisely why he felt such urgency.
In truth, though, he was both in a hurry and not particularly pressed for time.
Chu Sheng simply wanted to take precautions in advance, to have something that would let him escape or fight back when trouble came. But things had not reached that point yet.

He could create sacrificial items himself, so he knew their power
