Chu Liang felt somewhat nervous when he saw the old man. After all, he had entered the seventh realm by proving his Dao through Void-Slaying, and Li Laoba was precisely the Dao Master of Void-Slaying.
For those seasoned great powers, this did not matter much; many of them had mutually comprehended one another's Great Daos. But for a newly advanced seventh-realm cultivator like Chu Liang, some restraint was inevitable.
Yet from the looks of it, Li Laoba across from him seemed just as reserved.
"Sit, heh-heh." The old man rubbed his hands together and gave a simple-minded laugh. "I heard you, kid, leaped straight from the fifth realm into the seventh and made quite a splash over in Penglai. Not bad. You didn't disgrace our Void-Slaying Great Dao."
"This junior merely acted recklessly before. Your praise is too generous, Sword Saint," Chu Liang hurriedly said.
"Ah, there's no need to be so modest." Li Laoba waved a hand. "You know, don't you? The thing in this world containing the most Void-Slaying Dao rhythm is the Pure Yang Ancient Sword of our Infinite Sword Sect. Without visualizing the Pure Yang Ancient Sword, it is hard for Void-Slaying to make any progress, much less take command of Tianyuan."
"This junior has heard a little of it, but..." Chu Liang nodded. "I would not dare hope to enter Tianyuan through this Dao. Proving my Dao through it back then was merely a matter of necessity. I have no intention of contending with Senior."
Unable to make sense of the old man's intentions, Chu Liang spoke with great politeness, and every word was true. As for not wishing to contend with Li Laoba for the Dao, that was also the honest truth.
The Pure Yang Ancient Sword belonged to them in the first place.
