Although the Giant Wood Deity held the Golden Immortal cultivation level and brought two top masters Ji Nan and Lu Yu, along with tens of thousands of Sword Immortals reborn from his True Yang Jade Liquid Pool, they seemed impressive but were actually not the match of the Emei Sect.

As this generation, including people like Li Yingqiong, had been accumulating cultivation for lifetimes — three, six, nine… altogether spanning more than a thousand years — they burst forth just before this Dharma Destruction Era. The Flying Sword Magical Treasures they used were the accumulation of the Emei Sect from three elders over a thousand years, undoubtedly powerful.
