Chapter 1711 -s 1656-1657_2
Even if we take a step back and assume the array that revitalizes the old with the new becomes accessible to all major immortal sects, it would amount to nothing more than a slight increase in combat power comparable to that of Taoist Monarchs.
The current state of affairs in the world is rapidly changing, with newly ascended Dao Lords aggressively pushing forward, forcing even established Dao Lords to leave the Diaoyu Island and personally enter the fray.
This means that the current conflict is no longer confined to the level of True Immortals; Dao Lords are being dragged into the waters, and clashes between them are no longer rare occurrences.
In such a scenario, even if these large immortal sects possess such arrays, apart from providing some assurance for themselves, they fundamentally cannot influence the situation between heaven and earth.
After all, the operation of these arrays is not something to be taken lightly, as they require the consumption of substantial resources. A few interventions may be manageable, but frequent interventions would likely deplete their foundational reserves.
The gap between top immortal sects and large immortal sects is not just in the strength of Taoist Monarchs but also in the accumulation of resource bases. If these large immortal sects can afford to sustain these arrays, then the top sects can too, and even more so.
"Your meaning seems to imply that you want all parties to lay their cards on the table?" Yu Zhenzi pondered, as if he had grasped a part of Pei Xuanjing’s thoughts.
Pei Xuanjing nodded: "Resources are meant to be used. Only by bringing forth more powerful beings can we accelerate expansion and promote faster advancement of the Divine Land World. If we hoard all the resources we grab and fail to use them, like a miserly landlord, then keeping them would be meaningless."
The number of True Immortals in the world at this moment seems abundant, but in reality, it is not the limit. Various immortal sects claim their resources cannot support more True Immortals and need to expand to acquire more resources, but this should be taken with a grain of salt and never taken seriously.
Holding back a trump card is the instinctual practice of cultivators, or for any power.
