At this point, Xu Changxing could not help raising his eyebrows slightly.
When he had been extracting the Great Dao Laws earlier, he had vaguely felt that he seemed to be overlooking something.
Only now did he realize that he had overlooked the Way of Destiny.
To stop other immortal sects from refining the Small Worlds attached to the Immortal Realm, the Tianyan Sect's Immortal Venerable had merged the Way of Destiny into the Immortal Realm and all the Small Worlds attached to it.
From then on, disrupting the workings of the Great Dao would incur an extremely severe backlash of fortune.
It was also from that time onward that Origin Crystals had become even more precious.
Yet Xu Changxing had extracted Great Dao fragments from dozens of Small Worlds in one go, and the backlash of fortune he suffered had been almost negligible.
Even that nearly insignificant backlash had ultimately been dispelled completely by the Tianyan Pearl.
At the time, Xu Changxing had taken it for granted that the Tianyan Sect's supreme treasure should possess such a function.
But now, seeing the Myriad Immortals Alliance's reaction, he suddenly realized that doing this did seem rather like "allowing officials to set fires while forbidding commoners to light their lamps."
Although doing this felt immensely satisfying, it would inevitably provoke an enormous backlash.
That backlash would come not only from the Immortal Monarchs active in the current age, but also from the supreme experts who had yet to return to the present world.
According to Daoist Wuchen, the Immortal Monarchs who could continue hiding from the great tribulation in the depths of the void were all exceptionally powerful.
If Xu Changxing went too far, he might draw those supreme Immortal Monarchs back to the Immortal Realm.
"That is a little troublesome."
