The first move of the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms is called Overpowering the Dragon with Regrets. This name comes from a sentence in the first hexagram of "The Book of Changes": Overpowering the Dragon has Regrets.

It means that the dragon that flies to the highest point can only fall down. Using this as the first move feels a bit like seeking defeat. Using this move is already too powerful.

There will be no higher pursuit in the future.
