"This... Or perhaps the Cosmic Supreme still possessed tremendous energy at the time, enough to break through the barrier of the Celestial Vault and prove the Great Dao. That wouldn't be impossible either, would it?" said Jadeclear Immortal Venerable.
I smiled bitterly. "If you put it that way, I'm afraid even you would find it far-fetched, Jadeclear Immortal Venerable.
