"If it was that simple, why bother risking the seven of them? I could have directly wrested the Heavenly Dao Purple Qi."
Seeing the self-blame in the Queen Mother, the Jade Emperor quickly comforted her, "Ah, it was my mistake as well. Had I known that one day I would need the Five Elements Secret Realm, I would never have made that vow, which has now kept me from making use of the Secret Realm."
The vow the Jade Emperor made was that he would not set foot in the Five Elements Secret Realm until he achieved the Primordial Chaos, which cut off his possibility of entering the realm.
As both blamed themselves, the Jade Emperor added, "Now let's retrieve the Heavenly Dao Purple Qi first, and then we will deal with Shou'er and the others. Next, we need to find out who attacked you causing my poor daughter's innate deficiency, thus making it difficult for her to achieve the Great Dao."
