Because Lu Yang had taken it in too quickly, he nearly failed to process what he had heard. Only after True Lord Flying Snow finished speaking did shock finally appear on his face.
The Peak Master of Monster-Rearing was the Lord of Netherworld?
The Heavenly Remnant Consciousness was the foundation of Netherworld?
Which piece?
In an instant, countless questions flooded his mind. Yet soon afterward, a familiar sensation surged into his Sea of Consciousness, interfering with his thoughts.
Forbidden Knowledge!
However, Lu Yang could now be considered battle-hardened. Having endured the baptism of all kinds of Forbidden Knowledge, he recovered after only a brief daze.
Then he saw True Lord Flying Snow seated before him, her beautiful eyes carrying a smile that was not quite a smile as she softly said, "To regain your clarity so quickly, it seems Fellow Daoist knows quite a few taboos. Tracing this back, Fellow Daoist should be of Sky Soaring's generation, though not from the era of the First Generation Peak Masters."
...She's probing me.
Lu Yang understood at once. True Lord Flying Snow had just been testing how many secrets he knew, intending to use that to determine his true identity.
Too bad she won't be able to probe out anything.
After all, no one could imagine that a peerless treasure like the Hundred Lives Book still existed in this world. Her premise was wrong from the start; no matter how she guessed, she could never reach the truth.
With that thought, he immediately chuckled.
"I am but an unknown nobody. I never expected to trouble Fellow Daoist so greatly."
"Fellow Daoist is no unknown nobody." True Lord Flying Snow shook her head. "You resisted the Pure Land alone and defeated it. Fellow Daoist's strength is truly remarkable."
"You flatter me."
