The identity of the young man in black was that of Shen Jianting, the most outstanding disciple of amongst the few major powers in the Ancient Martial World, the Sword Heaven Sect.
And his master, the white-haired elder, was the Supreme Elder of the Sword Heaven Sect, Shi Jingshi, a powerful being who had reached the pinnacle of the Heavenly Venerable Realm.
"I have high hopes for you,"
Upon hearing his disciple's words, Shi Jingshi nodded in satisfaction and said with a heavy heart,
"In the past three years, you have engaged in secluded cultivation at the Sword Tomb and have become a Martial King. You have even grasped our sect's defining martial art, Myriad Swords Unity, and have been acknowledged by as many as seven Divine Swords."
"I estimate that among the younger generation, only Li Tianfan from the Shushan Sword Sect and Chu Wuya from the Kunlun Sect in the Western Regions can rival you, the rest are not worth mentioning."
