It was rare to encounter someone at this level, so Lu Xiaotian naturally seized the chance to ask a few more questions.
"Difficult. The Heart-Eroding Demonic Qi damages the Dao realm, causing inner demons to arise. It isn't just the qi itself that resists; once the inner demons have taken root, they too will resist any outside force trying to enter. An Immortal Lord might be able to subdue the Heart-Eroding Demonic Qi, but in doing so, he would also crush Vice City Lord Xue's own power. Inner demons born from a Golden Immortal's cultivation can be dealt with, if handled properly. If not, they become a terrible scourge. The Demonic Beasts in Luoyang Prison really have been plotting this for a long time," Daoist Yihua sighed.
"If an Immortal Lord can't do it, couldn't the Celestial Emperor be asked to intervene? The Celestial Emperor's cultivation reaches the heavens and plumbs the earth, his attainments approach the miraculous, and he commands the vast fortune of an entire Celestial Court. Though he rarely appears, once one cultivates to the Golden Immortal level, one becomes a pillar supporting the whole Celestial Court. Surely he wouldn't just watch Vice City Lord Xue remain beyond help?" Lu Xiaotian asked, rather puzzled.
"The Celestial Emperor? His attainments do indeed approach the miraculous. He is the one who has gathered the laws of an entire Celestial Court into himself. But the Celestial Emperor must consider the bigger picture. At his level, when he is willing to act, he will act; when he is not, he has his reasons. His position is one that others cannot understand, and must not be casually presumed upon." By the end, Daoist Yihua's tone had grown stern.
"Yes!" Lu Xiaotian nodded. Hearing the warning in Daoist Yihua's voice, he knew it
