The battle had its result.
The simulated disciple of an upper-realm Immortal Order, trained in a legacy of the same rank, fell to a single strike from the Great Sun Sword Heir. The disciple had no power to fight back.

"Why is the legacy sealed?"
Jiang Ding asked quietly.
"Sword Heir,"
"all legacies require the joint approval of the Netherworld Pool and the Radiant Palace before they can be opened. You must obtain her approval
