Shen Mo had once considered using the Mountain River Dungeon as his place of Dao attainment, relying on the Soaring Serpent and the Bizarre Dragon to withstand Lin Zhaozai.
However, after consulting with Big Moro Yao, he dismissed this idea.
Those at the Heavenly Monarch level had all achieved their own "Dao." Regardless of whether their Dao path was high or low, once they attained their Dao, they became difficult to influence by external factors and could, to some extent, resist the power of anomalous transformation. The life radiation of the Soaring Serpent and Bizarre Dragon, the fusion of the Jade Flower Sect's longevity flesh with Evil Spirits, and the assimilating power of heaven and earth experienced when a forbidden land descends upon a new world—these are all similar kinds of alien powers. For cultivators at the Divine Bridge Realm or Class V creatures, these are not things that would invariably result in death upon contact.
