"All paths return to their source; all paths return to the Supreme..."
Zhou Qing closed his eyes and shook his head inwardly.
As the ancestor of all paths, the Supreme had attained the Dao before the Taiyi Primordial Era, before countless immeasurable calamities. Such a gap could not be easily bridged.
Though he had attained Hunyuan, there was still an enormous gap between him and such an Eternal Giant.
It was already remarkable that he had caught up to Zhen Yuanzi within three calamities, but that was all.
"The Supreme..."
Zhen Yuanzi sighed inwardly as well. Old Lord was the sovereign of all paths and the ancestral source of all teachings, existing before the Great Void and arising from the source of Limitlessness.
He was the ultimate being, ending where there was no end and reaching where there was no limit.
Though he practiced nonaction, his will governed countless calamities. He was the unquestionable uncrowned king.
Though Zhen Yuanzi had attained the Dao long ago, he still could not compare.
In truth, even ancient great deities who had attained the Dao before him, such as Taiyi, Ancestor Hun Kun, and Yang Mei, were now far inferior to Old Lord.
"We can only see what fortune Daoist Wukong has."
Zhou Qing said no more and picked up a Ginseng Fruit, tossing it into his mouth.
Though he knew Daoist Wukong, there was nothing he could do.
"Qingniu will be arriving soon."
At that moment, Zhen Yuanzi's heart stirred. "It is time to head to Great Scarlet Heaven as well. Listening to Old Lord speak of the Hunyuan Dao Fruit would not be bad."
"Let us see how the calamity unfolds..."
Zhou Qing smiled faintly.
He had already attained Hunyuan and had no need to take the initiative to enter the calamity.
