Jing Jiu had not bowed to anyone in many years.
His patriarch, True Person Daoyuan, had departed very early, and his master, True Person Chen Zhou, had soon followed.
The elders of his master's generation in Green Mountain had either been killed by him and his senior brother or locked away in the Sword Prison.
After that, he had become the person of the highest seniority on the entire Chaotian Continent, so naturally he had no need to bow to anyone.
But General Li was his senior, and by many generations.
General Li's full name was Li Chunyang.
When he had been on the Chaotian Continent, his Daoist title had been True Person Chunyang.
He was the very True Person Chunyang who had joined forces with a Divine Emperor of a certain generation to defeat the Netherworld army at Great Marsh, bringing two thousand years of peace between the Mortal World and the Netherworld.
True Person Chunyang had been the fourteenth sect master of the Green Mountain Sect, the last Sword Immortal to ascend, and True Person Daoyuan's master.
Li was a common surname. Five of the Chaotian Continent's Ascension Ones had been surnamed Li. At first, Jing Jiu had thought only of the other four, not True Person Chunyang. It had nothing to do with any other reasoning. He simply did not want this matter to involve an Ascension One from Green Mountain, and even less did he want the person he had to face to be his own great-grandmaster.
Whether he wanted it or not, the moment he saw General Li on Heavenly Light Peak, he had to accept this fact.
By the time True Person Daoyuan had brought him back to Green Mountain from the Imperial Palace in Chaoge City, True Person Chunyang had long since ascended.
