But if Time were to pass for even longer, for instance, several hundred years more, Yao Baojuan would reach the end of his lifespan and perish.
Then, the Qing Immortal Sect would suffer the loss of yet another Earth Immortal, and the strongest one at that.
Without Yao Baojuan, the Qing Immortal Sect would have only three Earth Immortals left, compared to the four at the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate, one less.
This had never happened before in the tens of thousands of years of conflict between the two.
For the Qing Immortal Sect, it was an unimaginable disaster.
Because this signified an imbalance of power between them, indicating that the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate had officially surpassed the Qing Immortal Sect in strength.
When we were stronger, it was already difficult to halt the aggressive expansion of the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate.
Now weaker than our opponent, wouldn't they be able to annihilate us soon?
For the Qing Immortal Sect, this was hard to accept.
