Path of Absolute Transcendence

"Dad, Mom, I am back," Kai said as soon as he came out of the secret realm.

"Kai, you took your sweet time in cultivation," Alex said as he saw Kai coming out of the secret realm.

"Yeah Dad, I wanted to lay a solid foundation so I took my time to cultivate."

"Wow, baby, you changed so much in just three years," Riya replied in astonishment when she saw Kai.

"How long did I take, Mom?" Kai asked doubtfully in case he heard wrong.

"You did cultivate for 3 years, and you have grown so much. Even your skin becomes smooth, I want my skin to be like yours." Riya replied with some envy.

Kai did not hear her envious voice; instead, he was surprised about the time he took for cultivation. According to his calculation, if he cultivated his talent regularly, it would only take 2 years to reach the peak of the mortal realm, but now three years have passed.

'It seems the transcendent foundation took longer than estimated.' thought Kai.

"Kai, how many layers did you cultivate?" Alex asked curiously.

"Can you guess?" Kai asked a question instead of answering.

"Eight layers, I think so," Alex replied doubtfully

"My son can cultivate nine layers, and Alex, you don't know his determination; he will not end his seclusion without achieving his desired result," Riya said in a confident tone.

"Mom is the one who understands me better. Yeah, I have achieved a heavenly foundation." Kai said it with a smile.

"It's not like I don't know your determination and desire, but achieving a heavenly foundation is a huge hurdle, and only a few individuals in the entire world have achieved such an achievement," Alex explained the reason.

"Dad, it is not like Heavenly Foundation makes a person stronger; there may be a lot of people with such potential who end up as losers. The world only remembers the winner in the end."

"You do have a point, and don't tell the information about your foundation to anyone."

"Okay, Dad."

Kai did not tell them anything about his real foundation to scare them. The trial that he needs to pass will worry them, and Riya will tie him up in a room if he tells them the dangers of the trial.

Kai has a lot of possibility of dying in this trial since he ignored the words of Heavenly Dao and broke the rules.

"Kai, rest for a few days, and you need to break into the supernatural realm. After that, we will go to the sect since they have better resources; the secret realm won't be of any use to us after awakening." Alex revealed about his next action.

Like Alex said, the secret realm won't be of any use to Kai since it is only tier 1 and the supernatural realm is tier 2.

Breaking through the supernatural realm is very easy; Kai can do it anytime, but he is very nervous about the awakening talent. He had achieved all the things that can make his talent better; he even achieved a transcendent foundation.

'so I hope my talent will be good, unlike my cultivation talent.' Kai thought, even though he knew his talent was going to be the best of the best.

"Dad, did something major happen at the time of my seclusion?" Kai asked. It is a habit of Kai to remain knowledgeable about the current situation.

"Two major things happened, first one is about the holy son of Slaughter Palace. He broke through the supernatural realm in half a year after his awakening. He is the youngest to make a breakthrough in the history of Slaughter Palace. It happened only a few days ago.

The second major thing is that the whole world became red, and dark red clouds with pure dark lightning appeared. It seems someone broke the rules of the world, and the heavenly dao wanted to eliminate them, but it suddenly disappeared without any trace."

Kai did not care about the first information, but the second information scared him a lot. The heavens were targeting him since he was the one who broke the rule despite the warning.

'But why did the punishment suddenly disappear?' Kai was clueless about the situation.

He did not think that heaven would strike him directly instead of setting up a very powerful trail.

"From now on, I need to think about the consequences of my action instead of the benefits," Kai muttered in a serious tone.

"But why did the punishment disappear for no reason?" Even the heavens directly said that it wouldn't tolerate him if he broke the rules.

The punishment appeared like heaven's words, but it disappeared instead of striking him.

'It seems there is something big that has happened and maybe someone saved me for some reason.' Thought Kai. He knew the Heavenly Dao wouldn't have taken pity on him, so there was some external interference and they prevented him.

'There is no free lunch in the world, so the person may have some plans to use me. If it was a genuine reason, it is okay, and I can repay him or her for the favor.' thought Kai.

But if there is some ulterior motive, 'I hope you will not regret killing me earlier."

Even if the person did not save Kai, he wouldn't have died in the lightning tribulation, he had the protection of a void fragment, and no one is capable of defeating it in this world.

But Kai did not think about that for now; he needs to prepare for my next plan. It is very crucial to my future path.

Then, after two days of rest, he is ready for the breakthrough.

"Dad, I am ready."

"Kai, you can go inside the formation. It is a Tier 2 formation called the Spirit Gathering Formation; it will help gather the ambient Qi."

Without saying anything, Kai sat inside the formation. Then he tried meditating inside the formation. It was easier to absorb the Qi inside compared to cultivating it outside.

'It seems this type of formation is very useful for people with low-level talent.' thought Kai.

The only disadvantage is that the cost of material for this formation is very high, and it consumes a lot of spirit stones for each usage, so it is only used when it is time to break through.

A human has a wisdom palace in their spiritual soul, but it is sealed by our subconscious mind. The innate talent of every human is in the wisdom place. Only a strong body is capable of wielding talent; a weak body will explode, so the seal is placed until the body becomes strong.

It is because a cultivator needs to temper their body before breaking through the supernatural realm.

The body is like a container, and the talent is like water; if the container is small, the water will pour out. But here, the water will not pour out; instead, it will explode the container.

Kai needed to break the seal of wisdom to break through; it was very easy since he had already broken a stronger barrier. The moment Kai broke the seal, he got information about the talent.

After digesting the information, Kai opened his eyes with a smile on his face.

"Baby, what talent did you awaken?" Riya asked excitedly.

"Kai, tell us quickly," Alex asked in the same tone.

It seems they are much more nervous about the talent than Kai.

"I awakened two talents," Kai replied calmly.

"Baby, do you awaken two talents?" Riya asked in disbelief.

"Did I ever lie to you?" Kai replied.

"It seems the rumors may be true." Alex suddenly said.

"What rumor, Alex ?" Riya questioned.

"I heard that people who achieve 7 layers or above have a chance to awaken dual talent. I thought it was a baseless rumor, but it seems to be true."

"Baby, what about your talent? If it is strong enough, you can achieve your dream easily." Riya asked curiously.

"My first talent is Ultimate Sense, it increases all my senses to an abnormal level. The second talent is Learning, it lets me learn anything and also gives me the power of adaptation. Both of them are growth types, and they can grow with my strength." Kai replied proudly.

"Kai, it seems your talent is really good and your dream is now achievable, " Riya said happily, and her words seem to be genuine without any jealousy.

"I hope you will develop your talent in the right way and become the strongest person in the entire world," Alex advised, he was hiding his proud face but still spoke in a strict tone.

"Okay, dad, mom. I will defeat all of them in the battle." Kai said confidently.

The confidence is because of his foundation and talent. Both of his talents are very good, and they're even growth-oriented. The talent is divided into normal and growth talent.

The normal type of talent will have a certain upper limit, and it is also the most common type. The growth-type talent is very special since it does not have a limit; it grows stronger with the cultivator.

The Ultimate Sense ability is similar to a certain hero's sense, but it is more advanced as it includes his reflexes, intuition, and even soul. It is called Ultimate because everything related to sense is amplified.

For now, the amplification is 10 times, and it will grow stronger with his cultivation level.

The Learning ability is also heaven-defying; it allows Kai to learn anything. It is a passive ability, and it has increased his speed of learning 10 times now. The adaptation power that comes with this ability makes this talent broken.

It allows Kai to adapt his body to anything and makes his body integrate or resist it.

Now Kai needs to prepare himself because his plan officially starts in the Slaughter Palace.
