Chapter 1440 - 1388-1389 Great Emperor’s Tacit Consent, True Immortal Endorsement
"One misstep leads to a series of missteps. If one cannot make up for the gaps, then one is doomed to lag behind forever, and the gap will only grow wider," Star Lord Due spoke with a gloomy expression.
The Immortal Path was clearly within sight, and Immortality was within reach, yet for someone as strong as he was, not a trace of joy could be felt; instead, the weight on his heart grew heavier, and the pressure intensified.
Sometimes, the higher you stand, the further you see, and it is only by approaching the mountain that one can truly sense its towering majesty.
Now, as he drew closer to the Immortal Path, he felt its profundity even more, and the cultivation on the Immortal Path became ever more arduous.
Just like now, although the Longevity Taoist Monarch had initiated the Heavenly Court’s Expansion Plan, providing these successors with a vast space and an opportunity to become stronger and venture farther without fear of suppression by the predecessors.
But as they grew stronger, so too did the predecessors, and due to differences in strength, the benefits gleaned from the same world by the two groups were vastly disproportionate.
The stronger became even stronger, and while these successors exerted themselves to catch up, far from narrowing the gap, it only widened.
Facing such a situation, they also had no grounds for grievance, for everyone started from the same point and faced the same circumstances. One could not simply expect more benefits only because the other party was stronger; there were no such rules.
To have such a situation was already very fortunate; at least there was a relatively fair opportunity, a chance to overtake on a curve and make up the gap, if only they could have a chance like the Wood Virtue Star Lord.
They should be grateful for the benevolence of the Longevity Taoist Monarch. Had it been the old days, these successors would have no such opportunities, only fit to trail behind the strong and pick over the leftovers, all the while at the mercy of their mood.
