Then he shrugged and said, "Not that it matters. After all, they are extinct. Ancient cultivation can’t be that great if its cultivators were eliminated in the competition for resources. But if there is anyone who knows if ancient cultivators needed to burn lifespan for power, it would be a Dao Lord."
Since he was talking about Dao Lords, his mind couldn’t help but wander to Slav. As he thought of Slav, he rembered the Supre tac in Slav’s possession. He also rembered his plan to take that Supre tac for himself.
Now that he knew a little more about Supre tacs, his plan to take the Supre tac for himself seems naive. The thought of what could happen to him in the attempt to take the Supre tac made him chuckle to himself.
As he chuckled, he said inwardly, ’With the ability to convert other law fragnts into the law fragnts of their pathway, that Supre tac will be able to break down my existence and convert it into harmless law fragnts.’
’Without a Supre tac of my own to resist, the best that I would be able to do is delay the conversion process. The bigger I am and the more law fragnts I possess, the longer I can survive under that kind of power.’
’However, I have Fenrir, and Fenrir seems to be three-dinsional too. So Fenrir shouldn’t be at too much of a disadvantage to a Supre tac.’
’The main disadvantage that Fenrir might have is that its power is too weak compared to a Supre tac. After all, a Supre tac is at least rank 9 while Fenrir is currently at rank 6. So there is still the risk that the Fenrir tac can be broken down and converted by a Supre tac.’
’But if I improve Fenrir’s power to rank 8, the gap between them should be narrowed. That way, the risk of being overpowered by a Supre tac will be reduced. Then Fenrir will be able to safely devour the Supre tac.’
After reviewing this plan, he said, ’According to all the information I have right now, it should work. Who knows, I might be wrong. So I should continue to try to gain more understanding of Supre tacs.’
’But even if I’m wrong and the plan to get Slav’s Supre tac is faulty, there is nothing wrong with trying to get stronger. So, in the anti, I should go on with the plan. I still need to increase the size of my Cave Heaven, get more law fragnts, and increase my cultivation.’
As he said this, he checked to see the amount of lifespan that he had spent on the understanding that he had just gained. When he checked, he saw that he had lost a little more than forty thousand years of life.
His eyes twitched when he saw this. This was because he had only connected to the Supre tac with his Insight Stat for 40 seconds.
This ant that he had lost 1,000 years of his lifespan for every second that he observed the operation of the Supre tac. The exorbitant cost of gaining understanding made him understand why most divine beings allow others to upgrade their Divine tacs, not upgrade them themselves by gaining mastery of the pathway.
He snorted and said, "Forget hitting soone to kill them or investigating them to force them to give up. What I should do is find a way to force people to connect to the Supre tac and gain understanding from it."
He grumbled so more about how the sect was already stealing their lifespan through life-leech, but his grumbling didn’t continue for more than a few seconds. After grumbling, he continued his journey to the second heaven.
He thought more about the pathway, but he didn’t stand around doing so anymore. Instead, he did along the way to the second heaven and during the process of eating spirit creatures or hunting divine beings.
Most of his ti was spent eating spirit creatures. After all, spirit creatures were available everywhere, and it didn’t take any effort or lifespan on his part to eat them. But once in a while, he stumbled onto a divine being or two and killed them for their Divine tacs and their Cave Heaven.
With the manifestations of Fenrir scattered across the second heaven, it beca easy for him to encounter divine beings. Once the manifestation caught sight of a divine being, it would mark that divine being.
Once a divine being has been marked, it becos nearly impossible for them to escape from him. As long as the divine being stays in the second heaven and doesn’t leave it, killing them was easy.
It was easy for him to kill other divine beings in the second heaven because they wouldn’t be able to use their Cave Heaven. They would be restricted to using their Divine tacs. Since he has more Divine tacs than they do, he can always overpower them.
The only complications happened when the divine beings escaped from the second heaven down to the second dinsion or into the third dinsion. But even then, this only ant that he had to do more work pursuing them and spend more ti on the hunt than he needed to.
After each hunt, he gained a Divine tac and a Cave Heaven to assimilate. So each hunt made him beco stronger and more efficient in his next hunt.
He hunted and killed four divine beings and gained three Divine tacs. Unfortunately for him, one of them destroyed their Divine tac before dying.
Even though he didn’t use the Siphon Ability on them, they still chose to destroy their Divine tac. This caused his tracking mark to lose the target, so he couldn’t find their Cave Heaven after their death.
So out of the Four Divine tacs that he hunted, he only gained so loot from three of them. The three of them belonged to the Pill Refinent Pathway, the Killing Pathway, and the Deceiver Pathway.
