Chen Tianyang replied, "You are too kind, senior. It was nothing more than sheer luck."
His words were not entirely inaccurate. If Zuo Yixian had not been foolish enough to try and seize the Longyuan Sword, he would never have become the Sword Guarding Spirit. Chen Tianyang would not have been able to borrow Zuo Yixian’s true essence, and it would have been impossible to slay the Blood Elder so easily.
Daoist Yuanming assumed Chen Tianyang was merely being modest, which only improved his impression of him. "A young man who is neither arrogant nor discouraged—excellent. You truly have a commendable character."
