Cultivation requires talent, but what exactly is talent?

In fact, the talent for cultivation is one's affinity with the Dao Origin, the imperceptible portion of the Dao Origin one receives the moment they arrive in the world.

No matter how we classify things like Spiritual Body, Taoist Body, or Spiritual Root, it's essentially one's portion of the Dao Origin, akin to the innate breath one is born with.

Even though the initial Dao Origin is imperceptible, as they continue to grow and cultivate, they will begin to actively reject certain Daos and become more attuned to others, increasing the portion of the Dao Origin they cultivate.

These countless beings, all things under the heavens, even the tiniest part, when combined, form an incredibly formidable number.

Therefore, in a certain sense, theoretically speaking, even a Taoist Monarch cannot occupy 100% of the Dao Origin portion. Once they reach a certain extent, even a Taoist Monarch will face a limit and be unable to continue cultivating.

According to the current understanding of cultivation, stepping into the realm of a True Immortal, from a certain perspective, means mastering one ten-thousandth of one's cultivating Dao Origin portion.

Of course, this is just a foundation and not the only condition. If cultivating multiple Daos, one might master even less, as the requirements to become a True Immortal are not high, and the path is not fixed, offering opportunities for change.

Indeed, even if a True Immortal occupies one ten-thousandth of the Daoist Rules' Origin portion, this largely stems from their understanding of the Laws and not Authority, unless they become a True Immortal by fully relying on the Divine Position, following the Immortal Path.

In short, this invisibly indicates the great disparity between each layer of the True Immortal realm, thoroughly severing the ideas of Qingling Primordial Lord and others from seizing others' portions.

Even though the Wood Dao Authority is in the grasp of the three of them, and they possess absolute suppression, they find it impossible to seize the portions of ordinary people, only able to collect and comprehend it themselves.

The reason is simple: not to mention those True Immortals who secure their authority through the Heavenly Court's Divine Position and are listed on the Gods Sealing List. Unless they voluntarily relinquish their authority, endless hatred will ensue.

If you target one or two, that's one thing, but provoke three or four, making everyone panic-stricken, and they unite against you, they truly have the chance to "bite an elephant to death" with sheer numbers. Moreover, other Imperial Honors absolutely will not permit such actions.

Some things can be done but not spoken of. If you act swiftly to create a fait accompli, others, even if displeased, can only acquiesce.

However, if you are sluggish and leave many loose ends to be grasped by others, it will inevitably stir up severe reactions, and even your supporters won't allow it.

Even with the backing of the Taoist Monarchs behind Qingling Primordial Lord, their support has limits. This act of seizing authority can be done but not spoken of; one or two instances of not being caught can be overlooked.

But some things, although they weigh only four liang when unaccounted for, become a thousand jin when assessed, too heavy to bear.

Everyone understands cultivators' urgent desire to collect authority and certify Taoist Monarchs, but if your methods are overly crude, a backlash is inevitable. After all, they are the Taoist School, not the Demonic Gate; decorum must be observed.

This is where the Taoist School differs from the Demonic Gate. The Taoist School emphasizes the most basic rules; actions within these rules are not punished, but once boundaries are overstepped, consequences will follow. This is the baseline for the Taoist School.

To be blunt, the purpose of joining the Taoist School is to rely on its greatness for cultivation and to seek protection.

In the end, if the Taoist School's upper echelon strongmen act like those demonic old devils of the Demonic Gate, treating middle and lower-level Taoist Disciples like crops to be harvested and even uprooted, it will inevitably create panic within the Taoist School and unsettle the entire membership.

If Qingling Primordial Lord dared to do so, it wouldn't just ruin his reputation but would smash the Taoist School's bowl, the cooking pot for many Taoist Monarchs.

You can pay a price to exchange, as this is within the Taoist School's rules. But if you plunder without regard for rules, you break the norms and will provoke sanctions from all.

And this exchange is fraught with uncertainties. Once the opposite party gains autonomy, they may no longer be willing, allowing for the possibility of regret.

Moreover, the exchange requires a price, and even with Qingling Primordial Lord and others' wealth, they may not afford enough. Even a tiny amount, multiplied over time, becomes an unimaginably vast sum.

This means the path is unattainable, or the time is too prolonged, and the cost too high.

Since Qingling Primordial Lord became a True Immortal and decided to develop along the Great Path of Wood, he has been preparing for this undertaking, on one hand collecting Wood Dao Authority, on the other, continuously trading to harvest some Wood Dao cultivation divine power skills, thereby comprehending the Great Path of Wood, aiming to grasp more of its law origin portion.

But over thousands of years, from certifying as a True Immortal to now reaching the True Immortal Sixth Heaven, he has expended countless resources to reach the current mastery of approximately eight percent of the portion.
