Jiang Cheng then expressed his understanding.
Indeed, at that time, he was the only one identified as an Ascender by the Upper Immortal Realm.
Others had not been exposed yet back then.
Combined with having slain the Nine Flames Immortal Emperor, admitting to knowing him at that time would have been a foolish move.
Ji Linghan and Immortal Mo did the right thing.
As expected, Yuan Zhen Immortal Venerable continued, "At that time, dozens of Immortal Emperors descended from the Upper Immortal Realm, searching everywhere for your trail."
"It lasted for tens of millions of years, slightly relaxing only in recent years."
"If it had been known then that the Feixian Sect was your legacy, the entire Sect wouldn't have been able to survive..."
"However, the ancestors always missed you, so they took the risk of sculpting your Immortal Jade Statue and instructed each generation's Sect Leader and Great Elder to pass it down."
So that's how it was.
