Li Yun's sigh drew the attention of Cloud Gate's three Heavenly Venerables. The three raised their heads, glanced at Li Yun, then let out helpless sighs as well.
They understood Li Yun's feelings all too well.
Indeed...
If they had known it would turn out like this, it would have been better not to know at all!

They knew of the Immortal Character's existence, yet could not obtain it.
Who knew how they were supposed to endure the days ahead?

"Dream Ancestor..."
"Opportunities are the foremost factor in all things beneath heaven, but surely one cannot rely entirely on opportunities?"
"What I mean is... could there be some way to do something that increases the chances of obtaining an Immortal Character?"
The moment those words came out—
The crushing disappointment in Cloud Gate's three Heavenly Venerables' hearts stirred once more.

No need to work hard.
No need to scheme and plot.

They refused to believe that so many experts Above Heavenly Venerable had all reached the realm of Profound Venerable through opportunities
