This obviously wasn't the only problem either. Just now, they had said that they would be gathering up all of the geniuses. If they gathered up all the geniuses of the various Sects and held them under the name of investigation, how would these geniuses be able to participate in The Convergence? If Ryu was correct, this group of Higher Heaven individuals probably descended with even more geniuses that would only continue to speed up the process.
In maybe a handful of years, the Complete Heavenly Path might be forced to be opened far ahead of schedule.
On the surface, this wasn't a problem, but Ryu was too far behind. The quicker the Convergence was, the faster it would outpace him. The faster it outpaced him, the less benefits he would be able to gain from it. The less benefits he gained, the more unlikely it would be that he would one day reach a point where he could stand atop the cultivation world.
