"Following this great catastrophe of heaven and earth, the Mountain and Sea Realm has given birth to new primordial power. After the Seven Ancestors of the Daoist Sect survived the Tribulation Crossing, they could have ascended on the spot, yet they chose to remain in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Whether it is because they fear the unpredictable dangers of higher realms or prefer to be the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a phoenix, the fact remains that their refusal to ascend has blocked the path of the Dao for all other Earth Immortals. This includes your three Great Elders of the Wu Sect, the Divine Monkey King of the Demon Kingdom, and, of course, myself."
Every word spoken by the Sacred Monarch Qiye landed heavily on the hearts of Wu Hong and Wu Wei. In truth, how could they not desire to break this deadlock? However, the Daoist Sect possessed seven ancestors, each with a cultivation base equal to or greater than that of the Four Elders of the Wu Sect—and that was before they had lost one of their own elders. How could they possibly compete with the Daoist Sect?
After hearing the Sacred Monarch Qiye out, both Wu Wei and Wu Hong were tempted by the idea of cooperation. If they could find a few more allies of the Sacred Monarch Qiye’s caliber, shaking the foundation of the Daoist Sect might not be an impossibility.
