Chapter 1733 - 1678 - 1679: Success or Struggle, it’s All due to the Holy Spirits_2
Although in these ten thousand years, he has surpassed many by breaking through from just attaining Tao-Certifying True Immortal to the current True Immortal Sixth Layer,
yet not having certified as a Taoist Monarch, no matter how strong, one still exists merely as a chess piece; this is also why he can only remain in the Mortal Realm.
Compared to his once greatest adversary, the former Great River Country Lord, now the Fire Virtue Star Lord, from being evenly matched, the gap was drastically widened at the moment the other party certified as a Taoist Monarch, an almost insurmountable disparity.
Truly speaking, his and Fire Virtue Star Lord’s talents and perception are not much different; after all, cultivators who could reach that step would not have too great a disparity in talent and insight.
The other party cultivates the Honghu Dharma Body, a unity of twin bodies, and his own Holy Spirit Body is not the slightest bit inferior, and could even be considered somewhat stronger.
But as ten thousand years have passed, he is still at the True Immortal Sixth Layer, while the other has already stepped into the True Immortal Seventh Layer thousands of years ago, certifying as a Taoist Monarch.
What truly widened the gap between them was not so-called talent or insight, but the difference in cultivation resources and opportunistic fortune they received.
Originally, with both of their strengths and influences, the resources and opportunities they could obtain were roughly equivalent; however, who would have thought that the other would find a strong backer, embracing a powerful support, and from then on leapt over the dragon gate, soaring to the heavens.
Just as after the Enthroning Gods, they certified as True Immortals, he could only rely on himself for years of cultivation, while the other followed the Longevity Taoist Monarch, leveraging the myriad of resources that Taoist Monarch had obtained; even just a small portion of them helped the Fire Virtue Star Lord certify as a Taoist Monarch.
Although seeing the other now mired in the quagmire of the Heavenly Court, unable to extricate himself, as a force to counterbalance the Jade Emperor, after the Jade Emperor obtained the Great Law Decree Technique, becoming the first target the Jade Emperor aims to seize authority from.
