"Yes, I am still maneuvering between the Cultivation Path Ancestor and the Saints, any one of them could kill me with a casual slap."
"Then why are you so rule-abiding in front of me?"
"Filial piety."
Empress Nuwa laughed again, "On the Path of Supreme Unity, I alone am supreme. In the end, it's all about cultivating oneself. Knowing that other powerhouses are stronger is one thing, but self-confidence is another. Changsheng, you should learn from King Zhou, Tongtian, and Doumu. At the True Monarch stage, simply following the rules will only keep you alive; it's not much use for advancing your cultivation base anymore. On the surface, Xuandu and Ksitigarbha may seem to follow the rules, but deep down, each is more arrogant than the next."
Ji Changsheng nodded.
He could see this even without Empress Nuwa pointing it out.
Not to mention Great Mage Xuandu, the severed arm of Saint Cundi said it all.
