Between becoming an Ultimate Emperor and becoming a Supreme, Ju Hua ultimately chose to become an Ultimate Emperor.
He walked the Ultimate Dao. As long as he wasn't discovered, he could keep cultivating until he became eternal. Once he did, he wouldn't be a soft persimmon for the Sith Race to squeeze anymore. With the right methods, he would still have a chance to achieve his goal.
During the ancient war, not a single Supreme had died. This showed that, apart from some of Iyer's trump cards, the Sith Race had little chance of doing anything to the Supremes in their Chaos Universe.
If Ju Hua achieved Ultimate Emperor status through the Dao of Causality, then even without integrating his other Daos or using his sword arts, his strength would rank among the upper echelons of the Supremes. The Sith Race certainly wouldn't be able to kill him at will!
Even if he failed, Ju Hua wouldn't regret it. Besides, things couldn't get much worse; at the very least, he could give the Cultivator Civilization another Ultimate Emperor's worth of fighting strength!
Of course, although he had decided to walk the Ultimate Dao of Causality, this Dao would be no easy path.
The first hurdle before Ju Hua was comprehending the Ultimate Dao of Causality!
Not just anyone could comprehend an Ultimate Dao. No matter how high one's realm, it was useless without sufficient talent!
An ordinary cultivator might have the talent to comprehend the Ultimate Dao of the Sword, but not necessarily the talent to comprehend the Ultimate Dao of Causality. Ji Ning, who was already close to Dao Integration, was one such example.
But Ju Hua was still quite confident. His talent for the Dao of the Sword was high, and his talent for the Dao of Causality
