Chen Changming narrowed his eyes and looked Li Danyang up and down. Hidden within his wide sleeve, a Sword Talisman quietly appeared in his left hand.
The Sword Talisman gleamed with a smooth luster, fine runes flowing across its surface. Like a sleeping seed, it needed only a thread of spiritual power to bloom with deadly sharpness.
His opponent was at the fifth level of the Fusion Realm. If they fought, Chen Changming could only rely on the Sword Talisman to kill him.
Fire Radiance Immortal entered the Spirit Realm long ago. By rights, his cultivation now shouldn't be below Chu Qiushui's...
Could this man also be just one of Fire Radiance Immortal's clones? And could the true body, which has broken through to the Mahayana Realm, now be on the far more distant Purple Flame Continent?
Yes. That must be it!
As thoughts surfaced one after another, Chen Changming quickly worked it out. If this Elder Council elder had any connection to Fire Radiance Immortal—
Then he could only be a clone, not the true body!
Fire Radiance Immortal had left the Human Realm even earlier than Chu Qiushui. After so many years of secluded cultivation in the Spirit Realm, his breakthrough to the Mahayana Realm was practically nailed down.
Yet Li Danyang stood before him at only the fifth level of the Fusion Realm, still a hundred and eight thousand li from the Mahayana Realm.
What did that mean?
It meant this man was definitely not Fire Radiance Immortal's true body. At most, he was a clone—perhaps even a clone of a clone.
Once Chen Changming realized Fire Radiance Immortal had only sent a clone, he breathed a little easier.
The gulf between the Mahayana Realm and the Fusion Realm could not be bridged with a few talismans.
