"Y-you... who exactly are you?!"
As Godfather Venerable looked at the man before him, even his soul seemed to freeze. The feeling that resistance was impossible plunged him into utter despair.
An expert!
An unimaginably terrifying expert!
Although Qin Er had not used any divine abilities, Godfather Venerable could tell from instinct alone that the man before him was someone he could not contend with.
He had never imagined it.
An existence like this had been hiding in Ye Hong's Sea of Consciousness.
But on second thought, it made a certain amount of sense.
How could a useless wretch have risen so far in just a few short years, even killing the genius he had raised, without an opportunity powerful enough to make it possible?
"Senior!"
"I did not know this Sea of Consciousness already belonged to you. Please forgive me, Senior. I will leave at once—"
Godfather Venerable showed not a shred of defiance and immediately submitted.
Qin Er wore an odd expression as he watched the man beg for mercy.
He had been so overbearing before.
Qin Er had not expected him to cave so quickly.

Perhaps Godfather Venerable's temperament had much to do with how he had become a True Immortal and survived without perishing completely even now.

"Please ask, Senior. I will tell you everything I know and hold nothing back!"
Godfather Venerable answered hurriedly.
Seeing how cooperative he was, Qin Er refrained from attacking.
"You said you were a True Immortal of the Ninth Moon World a hundred thousand years ago.
