"I heard Master Zhuge say that you've undergone the Cangqiong Ascension three times? May I ask if that's true?"
Hearing this, Li Huowang looked coldly at the young man before him. "So what if I have, and so what if I haven't? What business is it of yours?"
"So it's true?!" Xia Risheng immediately dropped to one knee, his expression one of extreme excitement. "Greetings, Grand Elder!"
The instant he knelt, Li Huowang stood up and moved aside. "I'm not any Grand Elder. You have the wrong person!"
"You are! You definitely are! Anyone who can use the Great Thousand Record to perform the Cangqiong Ascension three times is without a doubt the Grand Elder of the Ao Jing Sect!"
"At your level, you don't even need the Great Thousand Record anymore; you can offer your own flesh directly to the Master! That is the supreme symbol of status!"
