"A Dao Venerable should indeed dominate the era,"
said the Penglai Dao Lord with a smile.
"You flatter me, I merely settled some debts of gratitude and vengeance. As for the other powers, I do not have the time to uproot each of them,"
Alkaid replied.
The Penglai Dao Lord nodded, "Looking back, there have been no small number of Dao Venerables who have dominated an era. The reason they haven't unified the Northern Sea Star is probably similar to your thoughts. However, some of the leaders of these forces have enough capability themselves. If they can rise to the occasion and leverage the reputation of a Dao Venerable, they might be able to rule a gate to the Immortal Realm. Then, by cultivating a succession of Dao Lords through the gate, they could become the embryonic form of a dominant power."
Alkaid associated this with the Sun and Star Sect.
This power did exactly that.
