For all cultivators, time is probably the most worthless thing, especially the powerful figures at the Lord Rank.
The three powerful figures from the seventeenth space have arrived here for a long time already. Their time here can only be
calculated by Epochs.
They knew that James was in a rush to leave. However, they could never break through the seventeenth space to achieve the
eighteenth, despite their long time here.
“Let him try.”
“Let’s go and play a game of chess.”
“Okay.”
The three powerful figures left temporarily to head to another pavilion and started their game of chess to pass the time. This was
because cultivation was out of the question. Yahveh and Jehudi were both Eight-Power Macrocosm Ancestral Gods who could
no longer upgrade their ranks to reach that of the Nine-Power. For Yehosheva, this could not be more true as he had reached the
Lord Rank’s Ninth Stage.
While the three of them were playing chess to pass the time, James was concentrating on his closed-door meditation. At his
stage, even though the cultivation methods of the place were mysterious, he could still easily understand them. Very quickly, he
could understand enough methods to merge them together, so he could break through the barrier.
Yet, his efforts were to no avail.
“Save your energy, James. It’s useless,” a voice appeared from afar.
James tidied up his energies and appeared in front of the three of them with a flicker. He looked at them and asked, “Why?”
Jehudi said, “Because the way to cultivation was blocked long ago. The Omniscience Path was cut off, and all of the potentials of
living beings were cut off as well. To get into the eighteenth space, one does not only require enough cultivation methods but
must also reach the Sixth Stage of the Omniscience Path.”
“Indeed,” Yahveh nodded and added, “But the current potential of living beings can only support the Third Stage of the
Omniscience Path. After the Third Stage, all potential would be fully exploited and one can venture no further.”
Yehosheva also looked at James and said, “It is what it is. You’ve mediated for long enough, take a break.”
Upon hearing this, James’ eyebrows shaped into a frown. The eighteenth space can only be reached via the Sixth Stage of the
Omniscience Path? Was this a joke? Since the battle in the Primordial Realm, this possibility had been cut off. One could only
reach the Third Stage at most. Under Yukia’s arrangement, he managed to reach the Fourth Stage, and this was a feat in itself
already. Now how could he venture into the Fifth Stage, let alone the Sixth?
“What should I do now?” James looked extraordinarily tense. He could not be trapped here. That was not an option. There were
so many other things for him to do in the outer realm. He still wanted to search for the Universe Seed in the Chaos, summon the
birth of the universe, and let these new universes merge into a world that was no weaker than the Primordial Realm.
That way, Yukia could appear, as well as Thea.
Seeing how tense James looked, Yehosheva opened up and said, “Since you’re already here, you can’t leave anytime soon, so
stay here in peace. Perhaps after an infinite amount of time, a powerful figure will arrive here and open up the spatial barrier of
the place, setting us free.”
Yahveh said encouragingly, “Don’t ruminate over useless thoughts. At least there are a few of us here to keep you company. If
you’re too bored, go into a deep sleep. Perhaps when you wake up, you’ll be able to leave.”
“Yep,” Jehudi advised, “There’s nothing else to do anyways apart from taking a good nap.”
