True spirits enter the Investiture of the Gods list; from then on, they are severed from the Immortal Dao, and their cultivation can no longer progress.
Now, although the immortals of the Jiejiao Sect have escaped the Investiture of the Gods list and achieved reincarnation to cultivate anew, the countless years they have wasted—that is indeed true.
It is often said that the Golden Immortals of the Chan Teaching delayed their progression due to their cultivation being sealed. Yet, wasn't the time wasted by the immortals of the Jiejiao Sect even longer?
Whether those included in the Investiture of the Gods list or captured and sent to the West, from the time of the Enshrinement Calamity until now, their cultivation has shown no progress. However, the Golden Immortals of the Chan Teaching have already become Quasi-Saints by this moment.
