The Individual Immortals and Human Immortals of the Sea Clan, despite their complaints about that senior's decision to undertake a breakthrough and Tribulation Transcendence at such a critical moment, the majority of Water Devils could understand.
After all, sometimes enlightenment surges and the threshold is suddenly breached!
Could he really be expected to forcefully suppress it?
If he missed this chance, it might never arise again, how could that Earth Immortal Realm Water Devil give up?
Not to mention he had been in seclusion for many years, completely unaware of the battle raging between the Sea Clan and the Cultivators outside, even if he did know, he wouldn't forgo the chance to ascend to a Heavenly Immortal for the sake of the Sea Clan!
It should be noted, in a sense, becoming a Heavenly Immortal is like reaching the endpoint of The Great Tao!
