"Did Ancient Immortal Tianwu think the Deputy City Lord had good talent?" Song Zhiyan blurted out instinctively.
Whether Sun Yanfeng's talent was good or bad mainly depended on whom he was compared with.
Compared to Jiang Chuan, Sun Yanfeng's talent was indeed nothing remarkable. But compared to people like Song Bin and Meng Yifei—
Sun Yanfeng was unquestionably an unparalleled outstanding talent!
It was hardly strange for Ancient Immortal Tianwu to take notice of such talent.
Jiang Chuan neither confirmed nor denied it, asking again, "Did Ancient Immortal Tianwu ascend through feathered transformation back then, or did he remain in this universe like the Eight Great Demonic Immortals?"
Meng Nanxi shook her head. "That isn't clear. The excavated Ancient Texts, including those of the Ancient Sect, contain no record of it. But considering the existence of the Heavenly Connection Technique, Ancient Immortal Tianwu most likely ascended through feathered transformation."
"No, my view is precisely the opposite of yours. I think Ancient Immortal Tianwu was the least likely to have ascended as an immortal. During the Ancient Era, many ancient immortals actually knew very little about the Immortal Realm. What they knew came from a small number of Ancient Texts. Otherwise, they would not have believed that immortal light descending into the world was sent by immortals of the Immortal Realm to receive reincarnated immortals."
Jiang Chuan explained, "If Ancient Immortal Tianwu was not a reincarnated immortal from the Immortal Realm, and he obtained the Heavenly Connection Technique—a spell capable of constructing an immortal path and ascending—what do you think he would have thought?"
"You mean Ancient Immortal Tianwu actually regarded the Heavenly Connection Technique as some kind of conspiracy."
Meng Nanxi nodded lightly. "That is indeed very possible. But if that is the case, I think there is another possibility."
