Competitiveness!

Hearing the system's introduction to the Jade Snow Red Lotus, Li was instantly astonished. Eating a single Jade Snow Red Lotus could make one's body as tough as an acquired spiritual treasure—wasn't that too absurd? How tough was a body at the acquired spiritual treasure level? To put it into perspective, Li cultivated the Nine Revolutions Mystic Art. Even upon reaching the fifth revolution, his body would only be as strong as an acquired spiritual treasure. At the sixth revolution, it would rival an acquired supreme treasure; at the seventh, an innate spiritual treasure; and at the eighth, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. Back then, the Twelve Ancestral Witches had cultivated to the eighth revolution. They possessed no primordial spirits and could not use spells or magic treasures, yet relying solely on their powerful mana and physical strength, they had forcibly slain Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who held an innate supreme treasure, as well as Di Jun, the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Court. How mighty was that?

One had to know that Eastern Emperor Taiyi was rumored to have been half a step into sainthood. With an innate supreme treasure in hand, before the Six Saints of Heaven and Earth emerged, he had been the strongest being in the primordial world. Yet even such a fierce figure had been killed by the Twelve Ancestral Witches. That was the power of the Nine Revolutions Mystic Art. With a body comparable to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, unless it was the Witch-Slaying Sword specifically designed to restrain Ancestral Witches' bodies, they could stand there and let you hack at them, and you still might not be able to kill them. Hadn't Gonggong directly rammed Mount Buzhou, the pillar supporting heaven and earth, into collapse? That mountain had been formed from Pangu's spine.
