Master's Clone is Also a Saint

Could it be that his venerable master was not only the Vice Sect Leader of the Sect of Interception, but also moonlighting as the Emperor Venerate of the Eastern Heavenly Court?!

The moment this absurd thought surfaced, Yang Jian dismissed it himself.

Impossible. Absolutely impossible.

Though Saints possessed vast divine abilities, the great momentum of the Heavenly Dao could not be reversed. As the Vice Sect Leader of the Sect of Interception, how could Master Qin Mu possibly come to the Heavenly Court and establish his own domain?
