Chapter 1288: Chapter 1236 – Chapter 1237: Wanting to Battle the Great Emperor Chapter 1288: Chapter 1236 – Chapter 1237: Wanting to Battle the Great Emperor Although respectful of the actions of these senior True Immortals, for they have established countless merits in the pioneering of the human race, this does not mean that the likes of Great White Star Lord and his younger peers have not thought about surpassing them.
Once, they knew of the power of True Immortals and understood that being one step behind meant being behind at every step. They believed that even if they one day stepped onto the Immortal Path, it would still be difficult to catch up with the pace of these senior True Immortals.
A strong being can be confident, but they cannot be blindly confident. The depth of accumulation these senior True Immortals possess, the lead they have in terms of time, the resources and fortuitous opportunities they occupy, are unimaginably fundamental.
This is why Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing put forward the Heavenly Court Expansion Plan, giving them a chance to find new opportunities and fortune, a possibility to overtake the old guard True Immortals on a curve.
Without this plan, under the former heavenly alignment where the winner takes all, these latecomers would only ever nibble the scraps left behind, and to surpass their predecessors would be exceedingly difficult.
Even with the Heavenly Court Expansion Plan, not everyone is fortunate enough to discover new worlds like Wood Virtue Star Lord and secure more resources in advance. For them, surpassing those mighty ones remains merely a possibility.
However, now, upon hearing Fire Virtue Star Lord say that Emperor Wenchang has taken this step, it signifies that on the path of Immortal Path Cultivation, the forerunners do not hold every advantage; these gaps can be bridged, and they truly qualify to reach the pinnacle and catch up with their predecessors.
We recognize and respect your achievements as seniors, and we remember your kindness and protection.
But as cultivators, on the path of cultivation, what we desire most is to forge ahead and continuously climb to higher peaks.
“It's not that simple. Each of these senior True Immortals is a complex individual in their own right,” said Fire Virtue Star Lord with a light laugh, seeing the eagerness flickering in Great White Star Lord's eyes.
These senior True Immortals are not that simple; how far they have gone, no one knows. After all, there are no hindrances between the Fourth and Sixth Heavens.
Over the years, they have seized so many opportunities and fortunes; it's impossible that they are as simple as they appear, and except for themselves, no one really knows their cards until the final moment–not even Longevity Taoist Monarch can be certain.
A hint of dejection dimmed the Divine Light in Great White Star Lord's eyes, and he finally calmed down.
If they can improve, then so can the senior True Immortals at an equally rapid pace; this is only to be expected.
Therefore, for these newcomers to surpass their predecessors, they likely still have a long road ahead of them.
However, this outcome is already quite positive, for at least it presents visible hope, a direction for effort, and possibilities right in front of them.
After regaining his composure, he asked Fire Virtue Star Lord, “So, what should we do next?”
Their plan had already begun, and now even Emperor Tianyang was alerted. Given the ensuing chain reaction, other Great Royalty Emperors would undoubtedly react. They could take advantage of the situation, intensifying the world's slaughter to more swiftly amass the Authority of Slaughter.
Great White Star Lord, urgently yearning to progress, grew even more eager for the contest between Immortal Path Strong after hearing Fire Virtue Star Lord describe the landscape of the True Immortal Realm.
In the end, it is the True Immortals who dominate this world. Only by becoming a True Immortal does one qualify to partake in its struggles; anyone else, even a Supreme Strong at their limits, can only be a slightly larger pawn, unable to control their own destiny.
No matter how one enters the True Immortal Realm, since the end destinations of both paths are the same, there's no need to be fixated on the road. As long as one steps on the Immortal Path, there will be more chances to find new opportunities, to pioneer new worlds, and to plunder fortuitous opportunities. Such a path might not necessarily be slower.
“You are aware of all the plans. Now, it's your move,” said Fire Virtue Star Lord, standing with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed upon the palace of Emperor Tianyang. Even though they were miles away, his gaze seemed to traverse the distance and see Emperor Tianyang seated high above.
Upon hearing this, Great White Star Lord blinked in surprise and asked, “Me? I am to push forward, but what do you plan to do, Star Lord?”
The two of them had decided that Fire Virtue Star Lord would take the lead, with himself as support. Although he knew all the plans, he wasn't expected to initiate the push.
“I will go and visit Emperor Tianyang,” Fire Virtue Star Lord announced, his form of address changing from the general 'I' to the regal 'I'.
The momentum around Fire Virtue Star Lord shifted in the midst of speaking, casting off his former gentleness for the attire of an Emperor's Robe.
He was challenging Emperor Tianyang!
“Why challenge him? Wasn't the Taoist Monarch's plan to motivate Wood Virtue Star Lord? Won't this affect the Taoist Monarch's plan?” Great White Star Lord's expression changed drastically once again.
The brief time today brought too many changes, causing his heart to fluctuate wildly, a state he had never experienced since he started his cultivation journey.
The news he had just learned was shocking enough, and now, hearing that Fire Virtue Star Lord intended to challenge Emperor Tianyang, he felt as if he was splitting apart.
