Dao Ancestor Hongjun's meaning was crystal clear: he wanted Duke of the East to understand that even as an Ancestor of Immortality, he was merely an Ancestor of Immortality under his command, not one independent of Xuanmen!
Dao Ancestor Taiqing, Primordial Lord of Heaven, and Ancestor Kunpeng all felt a surge of relief in their hearts. With Duke of the East having become a Sage, it was difficult for them to voice any objections openly!
Though they held hidden resentment toward Duke of the East becoming an Ancestor of Immortality, they had had no outlet for it. Now that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had stated it outright, they naturally felt thoroughly vindicated.
