The human heroes all looked at Dale with concern.
"Yes," Dale replied with a nod. "He's still alive."
The human heroes were stunned at this revelation. The Primeval Lord of Heaven let out a sigh of relief.
It was the answer he was hoping for. It was like a thorn was just pulled from him.
This meant the human race in the seventy-seventh chaos did not really fall into decline!
After all, the human heroes led by the Primeval Lord of Heaven survived to this day, and now, they had found that so had the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord.
The Grandmaster of Heaven was also doing fine, although he was now on the opposing side.
The survival of the three fellow disciples was nothing short of a miracle.
"So where is he? Why did he disappear after entering the Jade Pure Realm?" the Primeval Lord of Heaven pressed.
"It's a long story. After entering the Jade Pure Realm, we ran into some trouble..." Dale then launched into the story of what happened to their party a long time ago.
"We had been hiding in the bubbles all this time to evade the Snake Spirit King. It was near-impossible to leave, but I took a huge risk to come here."
"What was so urgent that you had to come here, then?" the Snake Goddess asked curiously.
Dale's gaze swept through the human heroes. Apparently not finding who he was looking for, he turned his attention back to the Snake Goddess. "I'm here for Zen."
The Primeval Lord of Heaven, the Snake Goddess and the others all shot each other a knowing look.
Dale didn't need to say anything more. They were sharp enough to know what he came here for.
Zen had displayed exceptional abilities since he had entered the Creation Myth Temple.
The Primeval Lord of Heaven and the Snake Goddess also knew from having entered Zen's inner world as energy souls that it was a primitive land. From there, Zen had evolved more and more until he finally obtained the ancestry-level bloodline.
This growth was extraordinary and could not be attributed to mere luck.
The Primeval Lord of Heaven and the Snake Goddess were thus able to deduce that Zen had an extremely powerful backer.
But that only left them more confused.
Even the Monkey Spirit King wouldn't be able to orchestrate such a feat.
Who could possibly be so powerful that they could enable Zen to fuse with the ancestry-level bloodline?
It was beyond imagining!
All this time, none of them could figure it out.
"So it was my senior fellow disciple all along?" the Primeval Lord of Heaven mused aloud with a quizzical look.
He respected the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord very much, but if he was the one behind Zen, it would be somewhat of a blow to his ego. It would imply the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord was far more advanced than him now.
"That is correct. In fact, the Grand Weapon Refining Method that Zen cultivated was given by my master," Dale answered.
"The Grand Weapon Refining Method..." the Primeval Lord of Heaven muttered, with some bitterness in his voice. "His theurgies must be far beyond my reach now."
The Snake Goddess pursed her lips. She had always wondered where the Grand Weapon Refining Method had come from, but Zen hadn't known either when she had asked him. She would never have thought it was related to the long-missing Grand Supreme Elderly Lord.
"But my master is not as powerful as you think," said Dale with a smile. "The Grand Weapon Refining Method was not a theurgy he created. It was given by a human spirit."
"Given?" The Primeval Lord of Heaven's white eyebrows shot up. "How about the ancestry-level bloodline?"
