At that moment.
An uproar had already swept through the Great Dao Sect.
News that Lu Ren and Cang Xuanming had agreed to a fated battle in a hundred years had spread throughout the sect.

"I heard Lu Ren already has strength comparable to a Heaven-Questioning Stage cultivator!"

"Lu Ren is back!"

"He was only at the Dao-Shedding Stage when he left the sect, and now he's reached Return-to-True Late Stage!"
