The Old Daoist shook his head and uttered the word "difficult" three times in a row.
Gu Shaoshang did not mind. Cultivation had never been easy; no one's attainment of the Dao was ever a simple matter.
Even Shakyamuni had plotted through countless tribulations to achieve Hunyuan Wuji, yet in the end, he had only succeeded halfway.
Even without Gu Shaoshang's intervention, could he truly have attained the Dao so easily?
Most likely not!
"What makes it difficult?"
Gu Shaoshang settled his thoughts and asked.
That earlier battle had made it seem as though the Three Pure Ones were quite at odds with Daoist Hongjun.
Old Lord had no particular friendship with him, but if Gu Shaoshang wished to become Daoist Hongjun's enemy, Old Lord would most likely only go with the flow.
That was precisely why Gu Shaoshang had come to Great Scarlet Heaven.
Those who understood Daoist Hongjun best had to be these Supreme Giants. Even Queen Mother of the West might not understand him as well as Old Lord did.
"Before time immemorial, when even the Taiyi Primordial Era did not exist, beneath the Great Dao, the myriad Daos did not exist..."
Beneath the flickering flames of the Eight Trigrams Furnace, Old Lord slowly began:
"At that time, the myriad Daos did not exist. There was no yin and yang, no Five Elements, no karma, nor was there any concept of time... When Pangu transformed into the primordial world, no other Dao existed at first; only the Dao of Force constituted the initial heaven and earth... Only after great powers attained the Dao one after another did the myriad Daos emerge in the primordial world... Though the primordial world was said to have been transformed from Pangu, its evolution was brought about by countless Chaos Divine Demons
