In the novel, the antagonist sends enemies level by level to give the protagonist experience, letting him grow into a local big shot without any real danger...
In reality, when do things ever happen just right?
Just like when he arrived in this world, all he wanted was to build up his strength, but inadvertently, he got embroiled in the struggle for the dynasty. He hadn't even increased his power yet, and he already had enemies piling up to the heavens.
If he made a move on Dragon Tiger Mountain, he would surely provoke Heavenly Master Xu, and provoking Heavenly Master Xu might lead to trouble with the Heavenly Court...
Back when the Monkey King wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, he already had accomplished his training, but what does he have now?
Alright then!
He has Divine Power.
The quality of Divine Power is very high, and to some extent, it can crush the Spiritual Power within cultivators, the only downside being that he has too little of it.
