Hearing those words, Taishang Laozi was instantly stunned.
He clearly had never imagined that Tongtian could say such a thing.
Tongtian claimed he could solve a problem that even their teacher Hongjun could not?
Surely this had to be a joke?
Taishang Laozi's first reaction was naturally one of profound disbelief.
After all, if the problem could really be solved so easily, their teacher Hongjun would not have been stuck at this stage for so many Primordial Eras, ultimately left with no choice but to merge himself with the Heavenly Dao.
Indeed!
Others might not have known, but the six Sages understood it very clearly.
Hongjun had not willingly merged himself with the Heavenly Dao. It had been his only remaining option.
After all, in the Primordial World back then, the Quasi-Saint realm had essentially been the ceiling. No one could advance another step.
Although the primordial Dao could also lead to Sagehood, that path was far, far too difficult.
Throughout the entire Primordial Lands, aside from Pangu, who had created the Primordial World and was their Father God, no one else could reach the Sage realm.
Not to mention that the Primordial World was now entirely under the Heavenly Dao's control, making it even harder to attain Sagehood through Primordial Unity.
Because the Heavenly Dao would not allow it.
This was actually understandable. After all, the Primordial Lands' capacity was fixed. If several Sage-realm experts appeared, or even one or two experts who transcended that realm, the entire Primordial World might collapse.

Yet now Tongtian actually claimed he had a way to solve this problem.
How could Taishang Laozi not be curious and astonished?
Tongtian was merely a Sage. Even if his combat strength surpassed
