Chapter 330 Sword Elder's Sigh: The brat from back then has become a Saint Venerable?

After hanging up with Lin Mo, Lin Xiyue didn't delay for a moment.

She turned and left the Quiet Room, rushing toward the area where Li Fan was located in a state of great urgency.

At this time, Li Fan was sitting alone by a cliff on Mount Taibai.

Holding his iron sword, he closed his eyes and focused his mind, sensing the Sword Intent that had recently improved.

As a breeze brushed past, an invisible sharpness seemed to pulse around him, silently slicing falling leaves in half.

"Little Brother Li!"

"Little Brother Li!"

The crisp shouts coming from the distance broke the silence.

Li Fan snapped his eyes open, a sharp light flashing momentarily in the depths of his gaze.

Upon seeing that the newcomer was Lin Xiyue, he quickly stood up and asked with some surprise:

"Young Miss Xiyue?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Are you looking for me for something?"

"Sorry, Little Brother Li, I've disturbed your cultivation again."

Lin Xiyue stopped her pace and didn't exchange pleasantries with him, getting straight to the point:

"It's like this, My Brother just contacted me."

"He said he encountered a situation and wants to ask Old Grandfather about someone's background."

"And from his tone, it seems quite urgent."

"Brother Mo wants to check someone's background?"

Hearing this, Li Fan's expression immediately became solemn.

Since Lin Mo had personally given the instruction, it was definitely no small matter.

"Alright, Young Miss Xiyue, please wait a moment."

"I'll call Elder Jian out right now."

Saying that, he reached out to grasp the iron sword in his arms, preparing to call out in his mind.

Buzz!

However, before he could speak.

That rusty iron sword vibrated on its own.

Immediately after, a wisp of blue smoke rose, transforming into the familiar figure of Elder Jian, floating in mid-air.

"Alright, no need to shout."

"This old man heard you."

Elder Jian stood with his hands behind his back, a hint of nonchalant casualness on his illusory face.

"Speak, Girl Lin."

"Who does Lin Boy want to ask about?"

"As long as it's not some unknown small character, this old man basically knows most of them."

This wasn't him bragging.

As a Saint who once stood at the peak of Cangxuan, his experience and knowledge were absolutely at the living fossil level.

"Hehe, I knew Old Grandfather was the most amazing!"

Lin Xiyue first offered a bit of flattery before blinking her large eyes and asking curiously:

"Old Grandfather, the person My Brother wants to ask about is called... the Burning Heaven Holy Venerable."

"There's also another name, it seems to be Huang Feiyan?"

"Do you know her?"

"Burning Heaven Holy Venerable..."

Hearing this title, Elder Jian first stroked his beard, his brow furrowing slightly as if in thought.

"This title sounds somewhat familiar..."

However, in the next second.

The moment the three words 'Huang Feiyan' entered his ears.

Elder Jian's hand stroking his beard suddenly froze, and his entire body was like a cat that had its tail stepped on, his soul form fluctuating violently!

"Wait!!"

"Who did you say?!"

"That stinky brat Huang Feiyan?!"

"She... she's actually become a Saint Venerable now?!"

Elder Jian's eyes widened, full of disbelief.

"Yes, yes, yes, that's the name!"

Seeing Elder Jian's strong reaction, Lin Xiyue's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly.

"Old Grandfather, seeing your reaction, you really do know her, don't you?"

"Nonsense! Of course I know her!"

Elder Jian seemed to remember some past events, his mouth twitching violently twice.

A very strange, one might even say... teeth-gritting expression appeared on his face.

"That stinky brat..."

"Back then, among all the Holy Land prodigies of the younger generation, that stinky brat was the wildest! The most lawless!"

"Even in front of me, she dared to be disrespectful. Not only did she not call me Senior, she even dared to mock my sword for not being fast enough!"

"Hmph!"

Speaking to this point, Elder Jian snorted coldly, saying indignantly:

"If it weren't for giving that old fellow Ziyang some face, I would have definitely taught her a good lesson on behalf of her Revered Master back then, to let her know the height of the heavens and the depth of the earth!"

"Uh..."

Seeing Elder Jian's expression of gritting teeth in anger yet seemingly unable to do anything about the other party.

Li Fan, standing to the side, felt very surprised.

To be able to make a Saint as arrogant as Elder Jian show such a frustrated look... it seemed that mysterious Burning Heaven Holy Venerable was also a fierce character in her youth!

"Elder Jian, this Burning Heaven Holy Venerable... what is her background exactly?"

Li Fan couldn't help but ask curiously.

"To make you 'resent' her so much, she must be quite extraordinary, right?"

"Her?"

Elder Jian curled his lip and continued crossly:

"She... she was the Personal Disciple of the Blazing Sun Holy Master back then—that old fellow Ziyang."

"She was also the most brilliant and monstrous Prodigy among the entire younger generation of the Cangxuan Great Realm back then, without exception!"

"Even if placed in the present, I estimate few prodigies could compare to her back then."

At this point, Elder Jian sighed.

Although he voiced his dislike, he still extremely recognized that stinky brat's talent.

"The Blazing Sun Holy Master's... Personal Disciple?"

Lin Xiyue caught the key information and scratched her head in confusion.

"But I heard My Brother say that the Burning Heaven Holy Venerable is now the First Grand Elder of the Yanyang Holy Land!"

"And her status seems even higher than the current Holy Lord?"

"First Grand Elder?"

Hearing this position, Elder Jian was slightly stunned, and then a deep sense of vicissitude and emotion flowed in his eyes.

"Hehe... yes..."

"Times have changed, and the world has transformed."

"That little slip of a girl who used to follow behind others has actually grown to such a height now..."

"She's even become an Old Ancestor in the Holy Land..."

"It truly makes one sigh."

Elder Jian shook his head, seemingly lamenting the ruthlessness of time.

"But it's not surprising."

"After all, she has become a Saint Venerable. With such strength, being the First Grand Elder is more than enough."

Then, seeing the increasingly confused looks from Lin Xiyue and Li Fan, he continued to explain:

"You wouldn't know."

"The Ziyang I spoke of was the previous, or even the one before the previous, Blazing Sun Holy Master."

"That old fellow... though his strength was decent, his luck was poor."

"Many years ago, he perished because he encountered a terrifying great tribulation."

"So the current Blazing Sun Holy Master naturally cannot be him."

"So that's how it is..."

After hearing Elder Jian's explanation, the two of them finally understood.

"Um... Old Grandfather."

At this moment, Lin Xiyue suddenly seemed to have discovered a blind spot and asked curiously:

"I hear you constantly emphasizing the term 'Saint Venerable'."

"And from your tone, it seems this term is very extraordinary?"

"What exactly is a Saint Venerable?"

"Isn't it just a respectful title for a Saint?"

Li Fan also pricked up his ears.

He had long been incredibly curious about this term he had never heard before.

"Ha..."

Seeing the thirst for knowledge in the eyes of these two juniors, Elder Jian burst into laughter.

He put his hands behind his back, raised his head, and spoke slowly in a profound tone used for teaching juniors:

"Remember this."

"The words 'Saint Venerable' are certainly not as simple as just a respectful title!"

"In the Saint Domain—that is, the Saint Realm you speak of—there are actually extremely strict Rank divisions!"

"And a Saint Venerable..."

A sharp light flashed in Elder Jian's eyes as he said word by word:

"Is the... fourth Realm within the Saint Realm!"

"That is... the peak of the holy path!"
