With the foundation of his Ancestor Realm, bolstered by the Heavenly Emperor's fruit position, then so long as he was in the Heavenly Court, he, Heavenly Emperor Lu, feared no one.
This time, he had lost the chance to leave the Three Realms, but that could not be counted as losing too much.
Seeing Lu Chuan's expression, Haotian smiled and said, "Looks like there's no need for me to say anything else. All right, I'm off!"
"Wait, there's one more thing."
Lu Chuan stopped Haotian. "Please, I must ask Your Majesty to enlighten me."
"What is it?" Haotian said.
Lu Chuan frowned and said, "Whether it's attaining the Dao as a Heavenly Venerable or as the Heavenly Emperor, both are as difficult as climbing a thousand mountains and crossing ten thousand abysses. In the tens of millions of years since the seven great Heavenly Venerables attained the Dao, countless mighty beings have been exploring the path of Dao attainment, yet not one more person has succeeded. I want to know, is it that the Three Realms can only have seven Heavenly Venerables?"
He thought of certain legends.
Supposedly, back then, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was the first to attain the Dao of Primordial Unity. Afterward, he lectured on the Primordial Dao Fruit in Zixiao Palace, drawing countless mighty beings to listen.
The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, who later attained the Dao, had been accepted by him as disciples during that time, and the reason was that Hongjun had given them special treatment and handed them something called Grandmist Purple Qi, or whatever it was.
Of course, there was one more question he had not dared ask Haotian, and that was: Old father-in-law, were you ever a boy attendant to my grandmaster?
"What you said is right, and also not right."
