Chapter 1690 -s 1636-1637: The Embarrassed Fire Virtue Star Lord
"It’s not that the Jade Emperor doesn’t want Time, but these Dao Lords didn’t give him Time," Yu Zhenzi explained with a bitter smile in defense of the Jade Emperor.
Everything happened too swiftly; even the Jade Emperor and the Great Emperor Ziwei, despite their successful plotting, did not anticipate Taoist Monarch Tianji and Sword Emperor would act so decisively, unwilling to wait for the end of the trial.
It is known that True Immortals possess extended lifespans, and Dao Lords are almost immortal; waiting for decades or even centuries for something is not considered a lengthy time.
Yet, this trial is only the first round, and had they been willing to wait for its thorough conclusion, it would have taken at least several decades to a century, giving them ample time to cope.
However, these two veteran Dao Lords disregarded martial ethics and took action directly, leaving no time to master the Supreme Divine Power.
As the top-tier Divine Abilities, Supreme Divine Powers are mighty but require time to master; otherwise, they can’t unleash their full potential. It was all too rushed, offering not even a moment’s time to react.
"To learn of the Dao in the morning and die in the evening would suffice. It means finding out the path to the enemy’s home in the morning and having the foe dead by night," Pei Xuanjing said, laughing lightly.
Yu Zhenzi’s eyes revealed a hint of astonishment upon hearing this: "Is that the interpretation of this saying?"
He was by no means ignorant, well-versed in the classics of Confucianism, Buddhism, and other disciplines, and while he was familiar with the classics of the Confucian Gate, he had never considered such an interpretation of the phrase.
Is this the gap between me and the powerful Dao Lords?
