However, many times these rules are only applied to ordinary people. For common cultivators, such risks are significant, and they cannot resist the pursuit of the Nether Yin Department.

But cultivators from some immortal sects, being protected by others or having connections within the Nether Yin Department, can naturally skip this step.

Another superior choice is that some powerful individuals, who have not been harmed themselves, choose to use the Path of Ghost Immortals to seek a stronger foundation for themselves, to reach higher realms in the future.

For example, finding some spiritual materials of heaven and earth, like the Holy Spirit Embryo of the Da Xue Country Lord, and then placing their Yin Spirit within it, making it their true body. This way, they surpass countless competitors from the starting point of cultivation, and their potential is even greater.

Besides the Da Xue Country Lord, the most obvious is the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder. Why would a True Immortal of the Sixth Heaven serve the Shenxiao Sect? What he schemes for is nothing but the assistance of the Shenxiao Sect, hoping to use their spiritual object to rebuild his foundation and ascend to a higher level.

Of course, such actions can only be played by cultivators with great luck or those born into major forces with great support.

For some strong individuals, having no choice, they embark on the Path of Ghost Immortals, cultivating through the Refining Spirit Dao.

While constantly refining their Yin Spirit, they eventually find this path closer to the Immortal Path, and their cultivation gravitates towards the Divine Immortal Path.

It's not that the Divine Immortal Path is inherently stronger than the Path of Ghost Immortals, but rather, the Dark Spirit Dao is excessively challenging.

For example, with each transformation of the Yin Spirit alone, every transformation needs to undergo Thunder Tribulation, washing their Yin Spirit of impurities through it to finally transform into a Yang God.

Although the Thunder Tribulation is filled with creation, it also comes with unimaginable danger, and not every strong individual on the Path of Ghost Immortals can confidently endure numerous tribulations, making retreat a common choice by instinct.

Some strong individuals simply have no choice, unable to switch paths, seize new bodies, or have the resources to nurture a powerful body, ultimately walking the Path of Ghost Immortals to the end, thus becoming Ghost Immortals.

Of course, every strong individual who becomes a Ghost Immortal has, from the moment their Yin Spirit began to transform, undergone numerous Thunder Tribulations, continuously purifying their Yin Spirit into a Yang God, and upon achieving Ghost Immortal status, their strength is absolutely not inferior to True Immortal strong individuals of other paths.

However strong the Path of Ghost Immortals may be, those who can truly reach the end and successfully certify the Dao on this path are either left with no options or persons of great perseverance and wisdom.

To Qingling Primordial Lord, he is not such a strong individual, or rather, even for someone like him, achieving success on the Path of Ghost Immortals is not easy, and he has not succeeded in practicing it.

If even he is like this, then naturally he believes the same for the Wood Virtue Star Lord. After all, as an independent practitioner, the resources the latter can acquire are not comparable to his own.

In the eyes of Qingling Primordial Lord, Ju Mang Ancestor Witch, or most of the strong individuals in this world, the Wood Virtue Star Lord, though powerful, also follows the Divine Immortal Path to become a True Immortal, possibly dual-cultivating the Heavenly Immortal Way. Apart from this, no other paths have been achieved.

To the strong on the Divine Immortal Path, the authority of the laws they hold is their foundational basis, and any slight disturbance is absolutely intolerable. Losing that authority would be a matter of life and death for them.

Therefore, Qingling Primordial Lord never considered trading the Authority of the Great Path of Wood because he believed his opponent would never give it up, just as he would never give up his authority.

So he has only one choice before him: find a way to seize it directly, without any other considerations.

This is the difference in information. Wood Virtue Star Lord hid his trump card too well. Over the millenniums, his low profile led many to not even know that his cultivation's core was the Life and Death Dao.

In this world, those who truly know that the Wood Virtue Star Lord practices the Life and Death Dao might only include the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life from the same Second Rate World. After all, when Wood Virtue Star Lord became a True Immortal, the emperor helped, so not knowing would be strange.

But with Pei Xuanjing's character, even if he knew, he would only find it interesting, and he would definitely not reveal this directly.

If Wood Virtue Star Lord had not actively disclosed this information, proposing a trade of his Wood Dao Authority with Ju Mang Ancestor Witch, Ju Mang Ancestor Witch would have likely remained unaware of this matter.

Of course, even if Qingling Primordial Lord knew this, wanting to trade with Wood Virtue Star Lord, he wouldn't have anything satisfactory enough for Wood Virtue Star Lord to agree on.

Therefore, whether he knows about it or not means nothing to Qingling Primordial Lord. Regardless of whether he knows Wood Virtue Star Lord is willing to trade, the situation he faces and the means he employs will only be to forcibly seize it.

Of course, had he known in advance, he might have acted sooner because initially, he was most wary of Wood Virtue Star Lord choosing to go all out when cornered, which would cause him immense backlash.

But if Wood Virtue Star Lord indeed has other options, even if the latter is stronger, having a retreat means his own chance of success would be slightly higher.

No matter what, this current situation leaves Qingling Primordial Lord with no choice unless he's willing to miss this opportunity to ascend, otherwise, he has to make a last-ditch effort.

"The Wood Virtue Star Lord is making a move, leaving the Heavenly Court?" Qingling Primordial Lord heard the report from his subordinate, with divine light flickering in his eyes.

He was unsure why the Wood Virtue Star Lord, who had clearly given up on the Myriad Laws Realm, chose to leave the Heavenly Court at this time. It was obvious the other had detected his spying but dared to risk leaving now.

There are two possibilities: either he doesn't care about the threat, believing that with the other Five Old Lords venturing to the Myriad Laws Realm, the lone Qingling Primordial Lord won't be able to handle him.

Or something happened, forcing the Wood Virtue Star Lord to venture out at this time, even knowing the considerable risk, due to some enormous gain compelling him to do so.

For the strong, sometimes they don't need too many clues; by putting themselves in others' shoes, they can deduce a largely accurate outcome.

Qingling Primordial Lord is doing precisely this. Even without knowing the Wood Virtue Star Lord's purpose or understanding his trade with Ju Mang Ancestor Witch, he can speculate on the other's intentions by hypothesizing in their place.

But it's of no import. To Qingling Primordial Lord, unless the Wood Virtue Star Lord leaves the Heavenly Court to meet some Taoist Monarch, nothing will sway his intention to seize the Wood Virtue Star Lord's authority.

That day, the Wood Virtue Star Lord, long residing in the Heavenly Court, suddenly left for the Divine Land World.

And the long-waiting Qingling Primordial Lord immediately followed suit, meeting in the Divine Land World, and to seize the Wood Dao Authority, Qingling Primordial Lord decisively made a move without hesitation.

Two True Immortals of the Sixth Heaven unleashed a great battle in the Divine Land World, and although no words were spoken, it was as if they both understood each other's intentions, leaving no room for concession.
