Gu Yang's question seemed a tad abrupt, as if this unknown old man had deliberately lured them here.
Indeed, this was his speculation, or perhaps a probe.
Since this man could sense the revival of the Way of Heaven, it would be quite normal for him to sense their arrival in heaven as well.
He had said, "You have finally arrived," indicating that he really had been waiting for them.
There was a possibility that this man intentionally caused a disturbance to compel the Wheel of Creation to issue an order, summoning people to suppress him.
The task that Gu Yang received was "suppression," not annihilation. He had found it odd at the time, but now it seemed it was because they could not possibly annihilate him.
He was very likely a former Da Luo Golden Immortal.
An emaciated camel is still larger than a horse. Even a supreme treasure might not be able to kill a Da Luo Immortal.
