"Terrifying grade! I reached terrifying grade so quickly!"
Lu Ren sensed the change in the source of his Immortal Soul and could barely contain his excitement. The Immortal Soul in his sea of consciousness had shrunk to barely three inches, yet it radiated an immensely powerful will.
With a terrifying-grade Immortal Soul, Lu Ren's perception had grown even more formidable. It could cover almost the entire Heavenly Corpse Immortal Sect.
At that moment, apart from Zhao Xinyue, who was still healing, not a single living presence remained in the sect.
"Yuan Tiansheng, who exactly is this Old Su you mentioned?"
Lu Ren sat cross-legged and began restoring his Immortal Soul as he questioned him.
"His name is Su Ying. I don't know his true identity. He only said he would help me destroy the Wuyue Clan!"
Yuan Tiansheng answered truthfully.
"So destroying the Wuyue Clan was your idea?"
Lu Ren asked.
"I came under the pretext of capturing you to test whether Great Venerable Wu Yue was injured. Once we confirmed she was gravely wounded, we naturally had to seize this once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity to destroy the Wuyue Clan. The clan once produced someone who reached the Shattered Realm. It's an ancient immortal lineage with deep foundations. If we destroyed it, my Six Paths Immortal Sect would surely rise!"
Yuan Tiansheng spoke with conviction.
"Weren't you afraid you'd fail?"
Lu Ren shot back.
"Life itself is a high-stakes gamble. The five great immortal sects have spent over a hundred thousand years developing in the Wuyue Realm, yet we've been marching in place. If I don't take this step, I'll share the fate of every sect master before me. Even with an immortal lifespan, I'll never advance any further!"
Yuan Tiansheng sighed.
"Well said. Life is a high-stakes gamble!"
Lu Ren nodded
