To be a person of integrity, the strong often uphold their promises, simply because they are compelled to do so.

Reneging is not impossible; if one can afford the price, then no one can do anything about it.

The Divine King is not afraid of the robed figure reneging, nor is the robed figure afraid of the Divine King's withdrawal.

In making a transaction, one naturally follows the other party's request, exploiting loopholes solely depends on one's capabilities.

Thus, to prevent such situations, the transaction with the Divine King had only one item: Zhan Dao.

It's merely a simple act of Zhan Dao; if the Divine King wants to trick him, he can only distort his own Dao, which is utterly unprofitable.

And mere Zhan Dao, no one can comprehend everything within such a short time and so simply.

Even in the past, Shi could not have achieved it in such a short time.

Thus, in the eyes of the Divine King, it's tantamount to a bit of showing off, completing it without losing a single hair.

The comprehension of the robed figure was indeed limited, with a mysterious aura that wasn't even a fraction of Zhan Dao, moreover, it was chaotic and disordered, the truly digestible part would be even less.

He was content, solemnly speaking in the Void.

"I will do whatever it takes to ensure the Crown Prince ascends the throne."

Returning from the Void, he traveled all the way back to where Emperor Qian was in seclusion, only then did the robed figure open his eyes.

Emperor Qian had always been facing away from him, continually looking at that occasionally thick as a heavenly chasm, occasionally ephemeral as a shadow of bubbles door.

The robed figure stood there, having fully comprehended the Dao this time, unimpeded, the acquired things continuously flew out, transforming into countless keys, and then manifesting into myriad miscellaneous things.

"My task is complete, it's time to disappear."

"No, the moment of true success has not yet arrived, everything remains variable." Emperor Qian was very calm, although smiling, decisively stopped the half-planned celebration.

"What more changes could there be? This should already be enough, right?"

"No, we must wait until abdication, when the tide recedes, to truly confirm."

Emperor Qian looked at the mysterious fragments manifested.

"The part of the Dao that Shi seized, after evolution, transformed into the Refining God Path.

Even after so many years and continuous evolution, the Refining God Path still has unavoidable innate flaws.

And that person's Dao is the same, it also has irrepressible innate defects.

To be the strongest, without flaws, it is necessary to obtain both."

The robed figure sighed.

"Unfortunately, mere Zhan Dao makes it absolutely impossible to fully comprehend.

Even if completely comprehended, it is still following behind that person.

Even if his Dao had innate defects long ago, he remains the master of this Dao."

Emperor Qian's demeanor was calm, with a slight admiration on his face.

"To tell the truth, to this day, I still don't understand how Shi managed to seize the Dao from the tiger's mouth in that distant era.

With my power, forcibly seizing that person's Dao is absolutely impossible.

At the Ninth Tier Peak of Qi Refinement, the path was cut off, then you came.

Afterward, Refining God, still at the Peak of Primordial Spirit Realm.

If not for the return to Dadui, my path had reached its end.

Though I do not know how the predecessors seized the Dao, I cannot open the path, yet I wish to carve my own Dao.

To this day, in Qi Refinement, I can carve my path, yet in Refining God, I cannot.

That person's Tao, though impossible to fully comprehend, is enough for me to trial and error, to make up for flaws.

One day ascending to the Tenth Tier, defining my path, I will not have that person's inherent flaws.

The inherent flaws of others walking the Refining God Dao, I will also not bear."

As Emperor Qian spoke, the Primordial Spirit emerged.

His expression was frosty, his gaze was utterly unwavering, one saw his aura slightly ripple, the realm of the Primordial Spirit immediately began to fall.

From the Primordial Spirit Realm, it fell to the Eighth Tier, then bit by bit, steadily declining to the First Tier, and even the very foundation of Refining God was directly discarded.

Emperor Qian's Divine Light in his eyes dimmed, and his whole morale plummeted.

The robed figure, standing there, was somewhat shocked, yet made no sound. He watched quietly, fearing he might disrupt Emperor Qian.

A moment later, Emperor Qian lifted his eyelids, and though the Divine Light waned, his eyes were even sharper and more determined.

"To be without flaws, to be the strongest, one must have sufficient determination. The past cultivation, full of flaws, cannot be corrected, better to start anew."

"Such a short time, is it enough to comprehend?" the robed figure couldn't help asking.

"It is enough."

The realm of Ninth Tier Peak, at a towering height, combined with what the robed figure specifically comprehended, was never intended to be directly assimilated, it was merely a honing of one's path, specifically for understanding how to fill certain flaws.

Emperor Qian had already realized how to proceed.

Now utilizing the power of the Daqian Divine Dynasty to stabilize the Divine Soul, discarding the realm of Refining God, starting anew will not take too long.

This time, although still walking on the broad road of Refining God, it is equivalent to pioneering a small path entirely of his own, completely aligning with his own being.

Carefully perusing the classics, among the former top experts, those still recorded today, not one has completely walked the path tread by their predecessors.

Everyone is different, the initial differences that were negligible, the further one walks, the greater the differences become.

The Ninth Tier, for those with no shortage of talent, resources, or willpower, was truly not very challenging.

Walking again the path tread by predecessors, even treading in their footprints, would not go amiss.

But advancing to the Tenth Tier is entirely different.

It necessitates possessing something uniquely one's own, pioneering from nothing.
