Although Xu Fu and Ling Qing had both cultivated the technique recorded on the Beast Skin Scroll, they had taken different paths.
Ling Qing comprehended the principles of the Dao, condensing divine edicts from his own insights.
As long as he still possessed dharma power, he could use those divine edicts to command the corresponding rules wherever he went.
Of course, if he truly encountered a deity who held actual authority, he would have to yield by three parts.
But the advantage was that he was not confined to any one place.
Xu Fu, on the other hand, was the exact opposite. He had found this world and directly condensed its origin into authority.
But worlds had their limitations.
Every world had its own inclinations; none could encompass every principle of the Great Dao.
Thus, once one became bound to a world, one also inherited that world's strengths and weaknesses.
Since Xu Fu had chosen this world, he naturally had to accept its constraints.
Ling Qing, however, was different. The three hundred and sixty-five spirit deities he had refined—
were insights he had attained when the various schools expounded the Dao in the Warring States Instance.
Later, he had passed through many worlds and adapted to the characteristics of several of them.
Though he was still far from encompassing all worlds, he had at least laid the foundation to touch upon the Great Dao.
Xu Fu knew quality when he saw it. Thus, when he first met Ling Qing, he had already wanted to seize this thing for himself.
Then, like Ling Qing, he could refine this world. Not only would he receive this world's nourishment and ascend directly into immortality, he could also take the Galaxy Scroll as his foundation and comprehend the origin of the Great Dao.
