Hearing Saint Ancestor Hai Yi's divine sense incarnation cry out in alarm, Qin Fengming's thoughts raced. Saint Ancestor Hai Yi and Lian Taiqing had indeed met before, and their relationship had been far from shallow.

He had consulted numerous texts containing records of ancient cultivators, yet none mentioned Saint Ancestor Hai Yi. That alone was enough to determine that Saint Ancestor Hai Yi should be a Great Cultivator rather than an immortal from the Immortal Realm.
