The years drifted by, and several thousand more passed in the blink of an eye.
As the day of Nuwa's sermon at Wa Palace drew near, Red Cloud went to ask Wu Chu, "Senior Sister Nuwa will be preaching in Outer Chaos. Are you going, Eldest Senior Brother?"
Privately, Nuwa was Wu Chu's elder sister, but in name, Wu Chu was Nuwa's eldest senior brother. Now his junior sister had attained Sagehood, while her eldest senior brother had yet to do so.
If he went to listen to her sermon, could Eldest Senior Brother really swallow his pride?
As for Red Cloud himself, with Wu Chu, this eldest senior brother, standing ahead of him, the junior brothers below felt far less pressure. Though this eldest senior brother did not possess Grandmist Purple Qi, he had once had the courage to refuse it. No one doubted that he would be able to become a Sage someday.
Moreover, the Dao of Civilization he had founded, a path unlike the Dao of cultivation, had brought him infinitely close to the edge of Sagehood.
Thus, although Red Cloud possessed Grandmist Purple Qi, he was under little pressure now. After all, aside from Wu Chu, his eldest senior brother, there were still four senior brothers above him!
Zhunti, the senior brother who had lost his Grandmist Purple Qi, could be set aside.
Wu Chu smiled. "Of course I'm going! Why wouldn't I? I'll treat it as going to congratulate my sister. Learning has no order of seniority; those who have achieved understanding are teachers. Since Sister Nuwa has entered the Sage Dao ahead of us, she naturally has things worth learning from. Why let ourselves be constrained by such empty notions?"
