Bi Feiyu and the two elders behind him were Realm Lords, and understood the restrictions of these rules far better than Luo Zheng.
A Celestial Venerable becoming a True God?
There had never been such a precedent.
That was precisely why they found it so unbelievable.
There had once been Realm Lords who achieved True Godhood. Although the odds were vanishingly small, it had ultimately been possible.
However, after a Celestial Venerable bore Heaven's Mandate, that possibility was snuffed out. They could never cross this threshold of the Heavenly Dao.
But...
This time, "Qing Yu"—that was, Ying—had displayed her means, effortlessly breaking past the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao's rules and opening the eyes of everyone throughout the vast universe.
Rules were dead, but people were alive.
Chen Huang Yi Sword was an unparalleled genius who had emerged from Sword Manor. Perhaps he, too, possessed a way to break these rules?
However, Luo Zheng himself did not understand this point either.
The only reason he knew that Chen Huang Yi Sword had achieved True Godhood was because there was a position for Chen Huang Yi Sword in Emperor's Corridor...
Perhaps the key still lay in the Severing Emotion Divine Dao cultivated by Chen Huang Yi Sword?
"Dao Child Luo Zheng, may I ask where you received this information? Or perhaps you have met Yi Sword Celestial Venerable?" Bi Feiyu asked again.
Luo Zheng nodded. "I came to Sword Manor because of what that senior told me. He wanted me to continue tempering my sword intent..."
With that, Luo Zheng raised his arm...
A bright blue light began to flicker across the upper half of his arm. It was unmistakably a sword-shaped mark!
That sword-shaped mark had been driven into Luo Zheng's arm by Chen Huang Yi Sword.
