Cultivators vie with the heavens, the earth, fellow man, and themselves!
Although the path of cultivation is said to be about following the heavens and serving the people, the continuous transformation of life is in itself a rebellious path, a battle to be fought.
Battle!
This word has already invisibly pervaded a cultivator's life. Without fighting, how could they ever have reached the realms they stand in today?
Even True Monarch Qingyang himself, though he speaks of learning to evade and forbear, when faced with an opportunity too hard to give up, wouldn't he struggle for it?
How could that not be!
No True Immortal has ever achieved their status by the charity of others. Even if, in many people's eyes, it might seem like Strong Cultivators such as True Monarch Qingyang and Yu Zhenzi only achieved true immortality because the Longevity Taoist Monarch helped them greatly.
