The Heavenly Gate Sword Immortal was born approximately 1,500 years ago, during the transitional era between the end of the Wu Dynasty and the beginning of the Dayan Dynasty. Yet, perhaps after encountering too many ancient beings, Xu Yuan showed little surprise at the woman's age:
"You were actually from the same era as that Sword Immortal? But judging by the timeline, wouldn't the Dayan Ancestor still have been around in your time? Did even he fail to catch your eye?"
"Li Shouchen?"
The Lady Wen spoke softly after a brief pause: "Neither his methods nor his cultivation were truly unmatched. The reason he could seize the world largely stemmed from the exhausting feud between the Qian Zhou Kingdoms at the time, which had depleted their national strengths. The sects also needed someone to bring order to the chaotic era."
Xu Yuan chuckled upon hearing this:
"To describe a man who established such a formidable realm in this way—isn't that assessment perhaps a bit excessive?"
