"Of course there was. If the outstanding few among cultivators trained until they became immortals, then the first True Immortal should have been Asura. Looking across the three thousand worlds, sweeping through past and present, there was no one who cultivated faster than the Asura King of old."
Fairy Yutong wore a smile on her face. At this point, however, she turned her head and gave Lin Xuan a deeply meaningful look. "Of course, that record has now been broken.
