Wu Chu guessed that Fox Ancestress was trying to say the Ancestor had ill intentions, though she had not finished her sentence. Normally, Fox Ancestress would not have had such nerve. She had probably been so enraged by his choice that she lost her head! She even dared to gossip about a Sage.
Wu Chu had actually considered that possibility as well. After all, Nuwa and the other five had already formed the rudiments of their own paths. Even without Grandmist Purple Qi, theoretically, the six of them still had a chance to take the path of Proving the Dao through Force.
But Wu Chu quickly threw that dark thought out of his mind. Just because one could take that path did not mean one could succeed.
Throughout history, not a single person had successfully Proved the Dao through Force.
Pangu had opened heaven and earth to prove the Dao, but that could not be considered a success, though he had created the Primordial World.
Luohou had stirred up boundless slaughter and sought to prove the Dao through killing. In the end, he was stopped and chose to establish the Demon Realm, but that could not be considered a success either, because he had been confined within the Demon Realm.
In the future, when Houtu transformed herself into Reincarnation, she would be invincible within the Land of Reincarnation, but just like Luohou being confined to the Demon Realm, she too would be restricted to the Land of Reincarnation.
Although Taishang and the others had gained their chance at Sainthood through Grandmist Purple Qi, once they became Sages, they would at least be invincible throughout the Primordial Land and free to come and go.
Unless they were like Tongtian, provoking the eldest and second brothers into joining outsiders to bully him.
