"With this junior and Purple Chi Lord, the Purple Zenith Realm's legacy can be considered passed on."
"You and I... can no longer be said to have failed our ancestors."
At the same moment, He Sanyao, standing within the Dark Dragon Domain's barrier and seeing Wei Tu off, seemed to sense Wei Tu's gaze lingering here. His tone was filled with emotion.
"Oh? In your eyes, could this junior possibly stand alongside Purple Chi Lord?"
At these words, the hunched old man beside him showed some surprise, as though Wei Tu being comparable to Purple Chi Lord was unimaginable.
Had Wei Tu been here, he would certainly have been greatly startled.
For when he had returned here and spoken with the Purple Zenith Realm's survivors, this hunched old man, as the "Lin Clan Ancestor," had regarded him highly and shown him much consideration in both word and deed... He had not resembled in the slightest someone who now "looked down" on him.
"Though that junior's aptitude is passable, and though the Feather Dragon Clan bestowed Hidden Dragon Guards upon him to protect his path, he is still far inferior to Purple Chi Lord... Even when the Purple Zenith Realm was at its zenith, Purple Chi Lord was a genius seen once in an age. Not to mention that, for his ascension to Mahayana... and for that sliver of possibility, you and I did not hesitate to sever our own bloodlines and cripple part of our cultivation, completing that ancient ritual..."
The hunched old man frowned as he spoke.
Hearing this, He Sanyao did not refute him, merely nodding in agreement.
In his eyes, in terms of aptitude alone, Wei Tu truly could not compare to Purple Chi Lord.
This was reality, not his "favoritism" toward Purple Chi Lord!
