"Sorry for the trouble." As a rising star, the Lotus Avatar received the Thousand Tribulations Punishment Lord's courtesy.
As an Immortal Lord, he knew far more than ordinary people about the Ancient Buddha Secret Realm and the great battle that had erupted afterward.
The losses suffered by the Immortal Realm were one thing. According to the information he had received, among the countless weapons Lu Xiaotian had used to break open the Dragon Silkworm Demon Cavern,
were weapons once used by Chen Fufeng, Black Mountain Ghost Lord, Jade Chapter Devil Lord, and even Emperor Niao Roc.
This showed that even more powerful figures at the Immortal Lord level had fallen to Lu Xiaotian than the rumors claimed.
For the time being, Immortal Lord Shijing was only missing, not confirmed dead. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he had suffered one defeat after another since entering the Ancient Buddha Secret Realm, and his fortune had taken a severe blow.
Even if he was not dead yet, being lost in that chaotic region of space meant his chances of survival were slim.
Even if fortune favored him and he managed to return alive, losing his position as an Immortal Lord was inevitable.
The Lotus Avatar's strength and standing were indeed still inferior to his, but the other man had inherited the Sacred Soul Sword Stele. His talent in the sword dao was unmatched by all but a rare few across the entire Immortal Realm.
Once Immortal Lord Shijing stepped down, someone would inevitably take his place, and the Lotus Avatar would become one of the strongest candidates.
The other man's future achievements might well surpass his own. It was only natural for the Thousand Tribulations Punishment Lord to show such a formidable talent a measure of respect.
But no matter
