Before anyone knew it,
the Great Sun Sword Lord had become one of the two oldest cultivators in the Immortal Sect.
Divine Mechanism, Sun Slayer, Myriad Mechanisms, and the other Dao Integration Divine Lords had existed longer than the Great Sun Sword Lord. They had been born and made their names before him.
But they had spent a long time in slumber. Only in the past ten thousand-odd years had they begun to awaken and advance to Dao Integration.
The Great Sun Sword Lord, meanwhile, had been there all along. He had never slept.
In years actually lived, events witnessed, and the development of immortal-path science experienced, the Great Sun Sword Lord was an ancient being second only to Yuan in the Immortal Sect. Sun Slayer and the other Divine Lords could not come close.
In the cultivation world, time was wealth beyond price.
Over his long life, the Great Sun Sword Lord had taught countless Void Refining, Spirit Transformation, and Dao Integration cultivators. Peaches and plums flourished beneath his tree;
He had fought shoulder to shoulder with many cultivators, forging bonds between comrades in arms;
He had worked alongside countless Immortal Sect cultivators, tackling all manner of difficult problems in immortal-path science. Together, they had scratched their heads in laboratories and racked their brains for answers...
The Great Sun Sword Lord had shared lives and work with countless Immortal Sect Citizens!
That was what it meant to be an ancient one.
How could Sun Slayer compare?

Therefore, Sun Slayer had to compromise!
This political storm in the Immortal Sect was smoothed over at the first hint of a ripple, thanks to the Great Sun Sword
