"Because."
Ye Yuandao changed the subject and continued, "About thirty years ago, the Heavenly Venerable fought Xie Haiyuan. At the time, Xie Haiyuan was quickly suppressed by the Heavenly Venerable and barely managed to exchange a few moves."
"He could be considered to possess the combat power of World Realm, Ninth Break, but it did not last long."
Su Yuan understood. Xie Haiyuan was not even a thousand years old, yet he could fight the Heavenly Venerable. He truly was powerful.
Moreover, his realm was still one minor stage below the Heavenly Venerable's.
However, whether the Heavenly Venerable had gone all out in that battle against Xie Haiyuan was unknown.
"Xie Haiyuan is one of the targets our Divine Abyss Sacred Land must defeat."
Ye Yuandao pondered for a moment before speaking again.
"The other is Shangguan Tianzong of Flowing Cloud Star."
Su Yuan did not ask about Shangguan Tianzong, but Ye Yuandao felt it was better to add some details.
"Shangguan Tianzong was a genius born before the Star-Domain War and was formerly Flowing Cloud Star's strongest genius."
"He is currently at World Realm, Seventh Break, slightly inferior to Xie Haiyuan."
Hearing this, Su Yuan felt somewhat doubtful. It seemed that geniuses born after the Star-Domain War possessed greater talent?
Xie Haiyuan was like this, and Shen Xiao was the same. Both proved that point.
Ye Zun had said Shangguan Tianzong was formerly Flowing Cloud Star's strongest genius, so there must naturally be a strongest genius of the current generation.
There was no need to think about it. That person had definitely been born after the Star-Domain War ended.
"Shangguan Tianzong also sparred with Venerable Xiao, but he lost far faster than Xie Haiyuan had against the Heavenly Venerable."
"That was also something that happened decades ago."
