Back at the tavern, the three old men were all sipping at their drinks as they gazed upon a small crystal orb.
These three were some of the most powerful people in the Beyond, and they were pretty much… Bored.
After all, they all reached the peak of their cultivation and found no way or method to progress further. They stagnated not because of their lack of effort, but because the pathway forward was nowhere to be found.
And so after trying to figure out how to overcome their stagnation for many generations and years, they decided that it was better to go back to the roots of cultivation. There must be clues for them that they missed, clues to the heavenly path. And so they took interest in the cultivators who had talent and proved to be people who were able to bind fate itself to their wills.
Cultivators who had heavenly blessings and protection.
