The Emperor of Great Xia said in a deep voice, "When you first entered the palace, you served by the side of that ancestor of our Xia family at the age of six. The ancestor disliked the mortal world and wholeheartedly sought immortality, leaving behind a note in his thirtieth year and departing freely, never to return. Let me ask you, has the ancestor already stepped onto the path of immortality and become a cultivator?"
"My master has indeed already become a cultivator." The old eunuch slowly nodded.
"Lamentable, pathetic!" The Emperor of Great Xia could not help letting out a cold laugh. "My Xia family produced a cultivator, yet he left behind not a shred of heritage, nor did he pay any heed to Great Xia. What kind of logic is this? If the ancestor had lent Great Xia a helping hand, even before Fang Chen was born, Great Xia could have risen into the ranks of the eighth-rank nations, or even had a chance at the seventh-rank!"
