The reason Yuxuan Tianlao asked was not out of jealousy. He understood his own circumstances. Despite his recent advancement into the realm of the Great Heavenly Venerate, he had reached his limit in this life.
During his advancement to Great Heavenly Venerate, he had exhausted all his potential. In this lifetime, he might not even be able to reverse his Immortal Body and become a Nine Heavens Mysterious Immortal, let alone breaking through the tenth realm!
This was the fetter he couldn't break through!
Hence, over the endless years, he completely abandoned cultivation and instead became a problem solver, continuously managing things for Taiyi Sect.
Yuxuan Tianlao just thought that such a decision was too abrupt, after all, Chen Chang'an was too young, far too young.
Moreover, they knew very little about Chen Chang'an. To put it bluntly, apart from a hearsay story about Chen Chang'an's past, they knew nothing else about him.
