How high was the Grand Supreme Dao Ancestor's standing?
Many cultivators believed that whatever the Dao Ancestor said was right. The one that could ever be wrong was themselves.
Even Qin Yun subconsciously believed that the Grand Supreme Dao Ancestor's method of letting the Essence Soul be a sword was the best path. He tried to faithfully follow the footsteps of the Grand Supreme Dao Ancestor but ended up falling flat on his face. Even after having failed, he did not know what he did wrong and continued pondering over the mistake in his Dharmic formulation.
The two wolf demons' conversation gave him a wake-up call. It jolted him to his senses!
He had extricated himself from a proverbial cage!
