Innate Demon God Era

Chen Yang's eyes flickered when he heard this. "So that's how it is. But does that mean if the Heavenly Dao is damaged in the future, it will implicate you grandmasters as well?"

"Alas... more or less. If we rely on the Heavenly Dao to enhance our cultivation, then we must bear the risks as well." Grand Pure One Laozi sighed.

Duobao was astonished as well. "Even so... there are quite a few cultivators in the Primordial World who possess Heavenly Dao Status. Why haven't they been harmed?"

"It is different... We have reached the Primordial Unity Realm, fused with Primordial Purple Qi, and become part of the Heavenly Dao. We can rely on the Heavenly Dao's amplification to accelerate our cultivation in the Primordial Unity Realm, and we can also receive its enhancement. The other holders of Heavenly Dao Status do not possess such traits. Simply put, the more one relies on the Heavenly Dao, the greater the risks one must bear. That was what happened this time. We were plotted against by Luohou and severely wounded. Afterward, we had to maintain the seal, making our injuries even harder to recover from," Yuanshi Tianzun said.

Chen Yang and Duobao understood now. They also understood why Luohou, despite being sealed, had been able to stir up something so terrifying.

Luohou had been sealed, yet through the connection between the Demon Dao and the Heavenly Dao, he had kept a constant watch over the Heavenly Dao. Once the Heavenly Dao was damaged, Hongjun and the Saints would be injured as well. Luohou would then grow stronger and break through the seal. With the badly wounded Hongjun and the Saints, matters would naturally become troublesome.

Chen Yang's expression turned grave. "Grandmaster... what exactly caused a flaw to appear in the Heavenly Dao?"
