And he also possessed the title of "Heavenly King," fully capable of traveling to his superior continent, the Fourth Grade Continent "Jiang Taiping Continent." He could have secluded himself there for cultivation until his Cultivation was sufficient, then officially moved to Jiang Taiping Continent from Qi Tian Continent.
The advantage of this approach was its speed, but the downside was that he would no longer possess that ruling-class strength.
His current strength, while fundamentally at a communicative level in Qi Tian Continent, wouldn't match up in "Jiang Taiping Continent." Although he hadn't crossed hands with anyone in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, he was deeply aware that he probably couldn't defeat them, after all, there was a gap of two Great Realms, and even a high-grade Unification Killing Move wouldn't make a difference.
Just like how even a ninety-nine First Grade Golden Core could not defeat a Third Grade Divinity Transformation Domain.
