Chapter 1288 - 1236 - 1237: Wanting to Battle the Great Emperor
Although respectful of the actions of these senior True Immortals, for they have established countless merits in the pioneering of the human race, this does not mean that the likes of Great White Star Lord and his younger peers have not thought about surpassing them.
Once, they knew of the power of True Immortals and understood that being one step behind meant being behind at every step. They believed that even if they one day stepped onto the Immortal Path, it would still be difficult to catch up with the pace of these senior True Immortals.
A strong being can be confident, but they cannot be blindly confident. The depth of accumulation these senior True Immortals possess, the lead they have in terms of time, the resources and fortuitous opportunities they occupy, are unimaginably fundamental.
This is why Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing put forward the Heavenly Court Expansion Plan, giving them a chance to find new opportunities and fortune, a possibility to overtake the old guard True Immortals on a curve.
Without this plan, under the former heavenly alignment where the winner takes all, these latecomers would only ever nibble the scraps left behind, and to surpass their predecessors would be exceedingly difficult.
Even with the Heavenly Court Expansion Plan, not everyone is fortunate enough to discover new worlds like Wood Virtue Star Lord and secure more resources in advance. For them, surpassing those mighty ones remains merely a possibility.
However, now, upon hearing Fire Virtue Star Lord say that Emperor Wenchang has taken this step, it signifies that on the path of Immortal Path Cultivation, the forerunners do not hold every advantage; these gaps can be bridged, and they truly qualify to reach the pinnacle and catch up with their predecessors.
We recognize and respect your achievements as seniors, and we remember your kindness and protection.
But as cultivators, on the path of cultivation, what we desire most is to forge ahead and continuously climb to higher peaks.
"It’s not that simple. Each of these senior True Immortals is a complex individual in their own right," said Fire Virtue Star Lord with a light laugh, seeing the eagerness flickering in Great White Star Lord’s eyes.
