Chu Mo sucked in a breath of cold air.
The founding ancestor of Heaven's Will Sect possessed such might?
Seeing Chu Mo's astonishment, Zhi Su smiled inwardly. Then he said, "Of course, all this happened during the Primordial Beginning era. No one knows the exact details."
Had the Dao he cultivated not been so closely connected to the Great Dao Venerable of the Harmony Truth Lineage, he would never have learned such secrets.
He paused before continuing, "Fuli was entirely different back then. The various Daos had yet to be established, and all laws were newly born. Though it was not as powerful as it is today, outstanding talents still emerged in abundance."
"Most of today's Great Dao Venerables attained their Dao during that era. The four lineage ancestors of Tribulation Deliverance, the Fire Virtue Zhu Ancestor, the Sun-Moon Twin Venerables, and so on were all among them."
Chu Mo listened, engrossed, and only came back to his senses after a long while. After a moment's consideration, he asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhi Su, how did you decide which to approach first?"
Rather than answer directly, Zhi Su asked in return, "Of the two sects and one sea, which do you think would be easiest to defeat in a debate on the Dao?"
Chu Mo thought for a moment. "Tribulation Deliverance's Fortune is already in my hands, so we can set that aside. A quick victory over the Outer Sea would be difficult. A rift has already formed between Great Evolution and me. Even with a Root Origin in hand to threaten them, they probably won't give way easily. Heaven's Will Sect, on the other hand...
"They have always followed Heaven and accorded with the Dao. My establishment of the Netherworld enjoys Heaven's favor, so perhaps they would be easier."
