"I came here solely because of Li Xiangru. I imagine you've already heard about this from the old Prince Yu'an. How much do you know about Li Xiangru, Fellow Daoist Lu?" I asked expressionlessly. Since he knew so many things, he ought to know something about this matter as well, right?
Lu Sheng smiled. "When Li Xiangru first came to the Demon God Realm, he was nothing more than a down-and-out immortal. He came here to seek an opportunity and bide his time, and he visited the various kings of the Demon Realm, including this place. Li Xiangru had been here before, and he even had some dealings with the old Ancestor. He also borrowed a measure of power from him."
"Borrowed power?" I froze for a moment. I truly hadn't expected Li Xiangru to have been a down-and-out immortal when he first arrived in the Demon God Realm, needing to wait for a chance to rise.
"Heh heh, naturally. Back then, cultivators from other realms who came to our Demon God Realm to bide their time numbered more than could be counted, especially those from the Ancient Immortal Realm. But the one who left the deepest impression on me was Li Xiangru. He was truly without precedent, yet not without successors." Lu Sheng spoke blandly.
"Successors?" I was a little confused by Lu Sheng's words. This fellow had probably lived too long and remembered too much, leaving his thoughts somewhat scattered.
"Li Xiangru's swordsmanship was extraordinary. Even back then, he was already incomparably formidable. Even the old Ancestor couldn't defeat him. As for those who came after him, isn't the one who came later the High Immortal? It's just that, as far as swordsmanship is concerned, it's still impossible to say who is stronger or weaker." Lu Sheng
