Lord Willow God once said that only Huang alone could be considered a true contender of the mortal world.
Others, even including the prominent Tu Wa Zi, Gu Chen, and others in the village, weren't quite the same.
Although they had achieved the status of Red Dust Immortals, they merely took a shortcut with the help of a supreme treasure.
Otherwise, the likelihood would have been extremely slim.
And this included him as well.
But there was nothing shameful about it.
To achieve the position of a Red Dust Immortal with a shortcut certainly meant one was much better than an ordinary True Immortal - a rank not even achievable in others' dreams.
Even with that shortcut available, success wasn't guaranteed; of the many who stepped through that door, only a few ultimately succeeded.
A shortcut still requires one to grasp the opportunity.
While the Red Dust Immortal shared the same origin as the True Immortal, they possessed power on par with a Quasi-Immortal King.
