"If one can become Immortal, why not gamble on it once more?"
The Lord Emperor is indisputably cold-blooded, not unlike a devil, growing more devil-like by the moment.
The words of Qingcang just now, "He who cultivates the path without cultivating virtue is no different from a devil," seemed particularly appropriate.
He continued to speak:
"After the younger generation unified the Immortal Land, without yet employing human and material resources to search for the Immortality Pill, it actively presented itself to me, wishing to use the power of the dynasty to gather Spiritual Objects from all over the world."
Qingcang felt a faint sound stir beside his ear but paid no attention, gesturing for the Lord Emperor to go on.
