The Self-as-Seed Dao Lineage was far too formidable. It had produced more than one Heavenly Emperor, and its founder Huang was not its only supremely powerful figure. Countless Dao Ancestors emerged in later generations, along with generation after generation of Red Dust Immortals, all possessing the potential to become emperors. Though it was only one system, it rivaled all the systems of Empyrean combined.
Through Mortal World Immortal Transformation, they endured countless tribulations and were reborn through nirvana. Whatever failed to kill them only made them stronger.
The Eerie Plateau feared the immense potential of the Body-as-Seed System. Its resilience under pressure surpassed imagination. If endless tempering produced another one or two Heavenly Emperors like Huang and Ye, the Dark Faction might truly be overthrown.
Even if the Plateau could not be overturned, the Ancestors still had to give the matter serious thought for their own safety.
To prevent Huang and Ye from gaining reinforcements, or waiting until their dazzling successors matured, the Dark Plateau adopted a plan to cut off their descendants entirely. It cursed the Self-as-Seed path, causing every cultivator practicing Immortal Dao methods to fall into darkness.
"After countless ages, the Secret Realm Method was corrupted. Cultivators of later generations were cursed, undergoing mutations, falling prey to ominous forces, and losing themselves in a muddled haze."
The emperor's silhouette said solemnly, "Tracing it to its roots, the curse is directly linked to Dark Ancestor Blood. Removing this filth is extraordinarily difficult, unless the Plateau is completely eradicated."
This formed a vicious circle. To remove the curse, they had to destroy the Plateau. To destroy the Plateau, another one or two Heavenly Emperors had to emerge. To produce more Heavenly Emperors, they had to remove the curse.
