The green-clad figure paused in the sky at the sound, then abruptly turned around. From the front, he was a young man of about thirty.
But when he saw that man's face clearly, Emperor Lu could not help but freeze.
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then suddenly said in surprise, "Big Brother, it's really you!"
Who else could that familiar figure be but Kong Xuan?
During the Investiture of the Gods, Kong Xuan had helped him enormously. After the Investiture of the Gods ended, Kong Xuan had gone back to secluded cultivation.
Back then, Kong Xuan had already been a Great Luo Golden Immortal, so what he was naturally charging toward was the higher Grandmaster Realm. By now, at least eight or nine hundred years had passed.
The Grandmaster Realm was a realm between Great Luo Golden Immortal and Daluo Golden Immortal of the Origin. In an era when Heavenly Venerables did not appear, they were the strongest.
Lu Chuan knew that breaking through to the Ancestor Realm was no easy matter and was fraught with difficulties, so Kong Xuan had come to the Investiture of the Gods partly to repay a debt of gratitude, and partly to answer the tribulation and seek the hidden key to breakthrough.
"Long time no see!"
A smile appeared on the green-clad figure's face.
Lu Chuan hurried forward and said delightedly, "Congratulations on leaving seclusion, Big Brother. Why didn't you tell me when you came out? If I hadn't happened to run into you today..."
"It wasn't a coincidence. I knew you would pass through here, so I waited here specially for you."
Kong Xuan shook his head and said with a smile, "I should have been out of seclusion for over a hundred years now. I've been wanting to come see you."
