The Sage Master knew very well that although he and Azure Cloud Master were both World-Openers, there was still a gap between their combat strength.
That was because his Sage Dao focused on edification, not slaughter.
Moreover, Azure Cloud Master's Divine Dao had been developed to the point of ascension, while the Sage Dao was still only just getting started.
The state of the world was actually quite complicated now.
There were monsters, demons, Buddhists, and many True Immortals from the Immortal Realm.
Every side had entangled interests and existing conflicts.

The Sage Master's expression froze.
