When Eternal One Sect discovered him, they realized he had the makings of a great cultivator.
Sect Leader Mao, impressed by his abilities, took him in as a disciple and personally trained him for over a decade.
Pehong Chen did not disappoint him—he was one of the best among the top talents and had an impressive battle record.
Most notably, he was the fastest to master the Eight Gods Blade among all the Eternal One Sect disciples.
Yes, it was the Eight Gods Blade, not the Seven Gods Blade.
Eternal One Sect had passed down a weakened version of the Seven Gods Blade to its disciples, but its power was far less than the original Eight Gods Blade.
Many of the sect's elders were aware of this.
As the top disciple and a natural genius, Pehong Chen wasn't kept in the dark about this fact.
