Venerable Lu Xia fell silent.
She knew that Heavenly Venerable Lu was speaking the truth.
A cultivator, if they intentionally eliminate other prodigies while they are still weak, will indeed face no rivals in the future but will also lose the invincible heart.
Such cultivators might reach the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor realm, becoming unrivaled cosmic powerhouses.
But, they cannot truly attain the Dao.
In this lifetime, that's as far as they will go.
Suddenly, Venerable Lu Xia remembered something, her pupils constricted sharply, and she said, "Father, our universe has at least over nine origin eras of ancient history, which spans hundreds of billions of years. How many Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors would have appeared during this time? Could they... still be alive?"
Heavenly Venerable Lu fell silent immediately.
He was worried about this issue too.
