Baidu Search: Volume Five—Making a Name for Himself, The Unpleasant Conversation
Facing the Blood Demon Ancestor, a late Nascent Soul cultivator, and still remaining calm as he traded blows with him verbally, Xun Ming naturally had something to rely on. That reliance was his sect: the Imperial Sword Sect.
The Imperial Sword Sect had existed for an exceedingly long time. Even the Five Great Super Sects fell far short of it in comparison.
Although the Imperial Sword Sect's current strength had caused the Cultivation World of the Yuanfeng Empire to rank it as a First-rate Sect, all the mighty cultivators in the Cultivation World knew that if sects were ranked by the depth of their foundations, the Imperial Sword Sect was unquestionably a super sect.
The Imperial Sword Sect was willing to remain behind others at present because, over the past several thousand years, not a single person within the sect had advanced to the Integration realm. Left with no choice, it had abandoned the title of super sect.
But throughout the long river of the Cultivation World's history, the Imperial Sword Sect had produced outstanding talents generation after generation. Integration stage cultivators had emerged one after another, and more than a hundred of them had shattered the void and entered the Spirit Realm.
With such a deep foundation, the Imperial Sword Sect could be said to rank first among the First-rate Sects, excluding the six super forces of the present day. Even the Five Great Super Sects showed it a measure of deference.
The Blood Demon Ancestor had by now learned Xun Ming's identity and origins. Although he had always been overbearing toward the Imperial Sword Sect, even he, a Great Cultivator, would not dare casually tear all pretense of cordiality away from Xun Ming.
