The one who appeared was an old man—and a late Spirit Severing stage old man at that.
This old man had a ruddy complexion and a short, slightly slender build. Fine light flashed in his eyes. Though his expression revealed no anger, merely seeing him inspired an involuntary feeling of reverence.
The reason Qin Fengming cried out was probably because he had actually seen this old man before.
More precisely, he had once encountered him when he was still in the Human Realm.
When Qin Fengming was still a Nascent Soul cultivator in the Human Realm, he had once had an opportunity to enter a place called the Immortal Mountain Secret Realm with the help of a token.
Back then, in the Immortal Mountain Secret Realm, he had encountered several great figures whose renown resounded throughout the Spirit Realm, True Demon Realm, and True Ghost Realm. This old man had been one of them.
At that time, this old man had given Qin Fengming an extremely strange impression, and his strength had been extraordinary. He had fought against a Saintly Venerable clone from the True Demon Realm without falling into a disadvantage.
Cultivators were basically capable of remembering anything they had seen, so although several hundred years had already passed, Qin Fengming immediately recognized this old man named Gu Changtian at first glance.
Although Qin Fengming had been unknown back then, he had once helped those people of great origins break a terrifying formation and undo the seal on a Chaos spirit treasure.
Thus, everyone present at the time had naturally been left with a deep impression of him as well.
Qin Fengming remembered clearly that Gu Changtian had once told Ye Hua of the Immortal Mountain Sect that his true body was a Mahayana Existence of the Tianling Sect
