The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Strong individuals are prideful, and until the very last moment, no one is willing to admit defeat.

In fact, for some strong individuals, when they truly reach the end of the road with no retreat, they are never lacking in the courage to perish together with their foes; they would rather fight to the death than compromise with their opponent.

Immortals are also human, and though the essence of life for True Immortals has changed, it does not mean they are Holy Sages; they possess desires and ambitions similar to ordinary cultivators, often magnified, continually pursuing greater strength.

For both Wood Virtue Star Lord and Qingling Primordial Lord, before they truly clashed, perhaps someone could mediate, prompting them to each make some concessions.

But once they actually come to blows, they definitely aim to thoroughly suppress the other, reducing an enemy for themselves.

Even if Wood Virtue Star Lord has reservations, knowing he cannot directly slay Qingling Primordial Lord, he does not mind stripping him of everything, depriving him of any chance of rising again, thoroughly eliminating an enemy.

For Qingling Primordial Lord, it is even more so; he knows that once he attacks Wood Virtue Star Lord, the enmity between them becomes irreconcilable. Even if he cannot destroy him, he would not mind taking away everything from him, even sending him into slumber, or into reincarnation.

No one wishes to leave themselves with a potential enemy, unless one has reached the level of the Longevity Taoist Monarch.

And in the eyes of many, even though the Longevity Taoist Monarch now seems to be carefree, for those who truly fought against this Taoist Monarch during his rise, there were almost no favorable outcomes.

Not to mention anything else, just the Taixu Sect of old, where the Taixu Taoist became a stepping stone for his rise to fame.
