Gu Wen returned to his room and immediately sat down in meditation, feeling a sense of urgency that was greater than before.
The completion of the Ninefold Perfect Dao Foundation and Ascension was something he must achieve.
Previously, he only understood the benefits of Ascension, but he was unaware of the dire consequences of failing to ascend.
Heaven and Earth are like a chessboard, with all beings as pieces; only by ascending can one escape the board.
If he could not ascend, would he become the next Yu Jian Buddha?
The Dao Master must ascend!
Turning his focus inward to his Qi Sea, he realized that his Dao Foundation had not been nourished by Heavenly Essence for a long time.
However, relying solely on medicinal pills and consulting others had already advanced his progress by one-third.
Now, he only needed eighty years of Heavenly Essence to succeed.
This meant that Gu Wen, without relying on his Fate, could theoretically catch up to most of the talented individuals; all he lacked was time, and Heavenly Essence could greatly shorten that time.
In the vastness of Fate, there were sixty-five Fire Meteors and twenty tributaries of the Golden Heavenly River.
[Heavenly Essence: Sixty-five years]
[Imperial Nectar: Twenty years]
He had not yet decided how to use the Imperial Nectar.
