The human disciple Tongtian Cult Leader had taken in had actually reached the realm of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal in just a few hundred years. That was truly astonishing.
Among humans, those with exceptionally high talent were rare, especially someone as gifted as Yang Jian.
Moreover, Yang Jian had half of the god race's bloodline. His mother had been the Jade Emperor's own younger sister.
That had greatly aided Yang Jian's rapid rise in strength.
"Senior Brother, my disciple Yuwen Ling is fairly talented and diligent. The reason he cultivated so quickly is that I had nothing much to do these past few hundred years, so I personally taught him every day, gave him many pills, and took him in search of opportunities," Tongtian Cult Leader explained to Taishang Laojun with a smile.
After hearing this, Taishang Laojun suddenly understood. If someone as powerful as Tongtian Cult Leader devoted several hundred years to carefully teaching one disciple, personally trained him every day, took him to seek opportunities, and gave him so many pills, then even someone with poor talent and a dull mind could reach the Golden Immortal realm, let alone the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm. That would be easy enough.
That human disciple, Yuwen Ling, was talented and clever. Now that he thought about it, reaching the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm was understandable—entirely normal.
Tongtian Cult Leader had only done so because he had been idle these past few hundred years. If he had been busy, he would not have had so much time to personally instruct a disciple.
"Junior Brother Tongtian, it seems you place great importance on this Yuwen Ling," Taishang Laojun said with a smile. It had been a long time since he had seen Tongtian Cult Leader teach a disciple so attentively.
