Pei Xuanjing's power had risen too swiftly; not to mention in comparison to those of the same realm—True Immortals who had accumulated essences over thousands or even tens of thousands of years—even some cultivators from the Eightfold and Nine Realms of Spirit had an accumulation that in some ways surpassed that of Pei Xuanjing.
The Golden Core Dao differed from other Dao paths. It was an unprecedented route, and every step taken by Pei Xuanjing involved continuous exploration and constant trials.
What he needed was not just to smoothly advance on the Immortal Dao himself but to pave a thoroughly solid path for those who would follow.
The way of Heavenly Immortals was elusive, and while every Heavenly Immortal's path was different, as a pioneer and guide of the Golden Core Dao, Pei Xuanjing also needed to leave plenty of guidance for those who came after him.
