The late Tier 7 Jade Soul Race cultivator who spoke was one of those responsible for monitoring all cultivators who had smuggled their way through ascension back then.
On one occasion, their high-grade Heaven-Reaching spirit treasure, the Heaven-Observing Pearl, had sensed a smuggled ascension. Yet by the time they arrived, the aura had vanished. They all concluded that the cultivator had been gravely wounded during the smuggling attempt and died immediately after escaping.
Thus, no one investigated further afterward.
Now, it seemed clear that someone from the Ye Family had used a feigned-death technique to deceive the Heaven-Observing Pearl.
Of course, what shocked him most at that moment was not that the person from back then was still alive, but that he had already reached early Void Refinement.

Once they reached late Spirit Transformation, they would be drawn in by the Ascension Platform and fall directly into the Jade Soul Race's encirclement. Thus, they could not possibly have crossed over by smuggling.
Yet only six or seven hundred years had passed, and the other party had already reached early Void Refinement. Moreover, his cultivation was exceptionally condensed and solid.
