Li Yan had spent some time reading fairly detailed information on their overlord, the Blood Lamp Sect, as well as several of the larger sects under its jurisdiction.
The Donglin Lineage seemed to be on good terms with the Pojun Sect, and Li Yan also remembered information about its Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Donglin Tingyue reached the Nascent Soul Realm eighty years ago and advanced all the way from the early stage to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. He is the Donglin Lineage's youngest Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator...
Information immediately surfaced in Li Yan's mind. He had always been extremely cautious whenever he encountered cultivators skilled in controlling beasts.
With such people, you never knew what kind of Demon Beast they might produce, or what innate divine abilities it possessed. Nor could you judge its combat strength by its rank.
Demon Beasts were naturally adept at fighting above their rank. In a battle between two Nascent Soul Cultivators, an opponent's beast might unleash some special innate divine ability. If it affected you for even half a breath, that might be the moment of your death.
Among the information on the Donglin Lineage's Nascent Soul Cultivators, Donglin Tingyue had left a particularly deep impression on Li Yan, because he had reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage after only eighty years of cultivation.
Even in the Immortal Spirit Realm, that made him an elite disciple with exceptionally outstanding cultivation aptitude, the sort every sect and lineage cherished and delighted in.
Of course, when judging others, Li Yan never took his own cultivation speed into account. His cultivation method was too unusual, practically tailored to him, and he had always enjoyed fortunate opportunities.
Thus, in his view, this was very different from his own aptitude. His progress had merely come from fortunate opportunities.
