The Taoist Monarch is different from the True Immortal; a True Immortal can yield, but once the Great Tao of a Taoist Monarch is cast, retreat is not possible.
To achieve victory in the struggle for the Great Tao, one must forge ahead courageously, wielding a blade against all opponents, building success upon their fallen bodies.
Cultivation never speaks of gentleness and humility; it is always about competing with heaven and earth, with others.
In the battles between Taoist Monarchs, mere retreat does not earn gratitude from enemies; instead, it reveals weakness, prompting foes to devour everything relentlessly.
Zhao Baiyang understands that though he attained success as a Taoist Monarch, he was defeated by the Daoist Bodhisattva of the Buddhism School, implying that in the eyes of many Taoist Monarchs, he was at the lowest level.
