Hearing this, I immediately said, "That doesn't seem right. That fierce woman, wasn't she able to trade blows back and forth with the Emperor? Even if she was heavily injured, doesn't that mean she is also incredibly powerful?"
Uncle Jianyi remained very patient as he spoke to me. "Xuanyou’s ability to clash with the Emperor actually involved a great deal of luck. You could say that the timing, the location, and the circumstances—she had them all on her side." He then looked at me with a profound gaze.
"Xuanyou could be described as a sudden, rising force. Over eight hundred years ago, she seized the Monster Beast Forest in one fell swoop. That was what first drew our attention. Since you have become so entangled with her, I might as well tell you a bit about her history. In the world of cultivation, the pasts of such prominent figures are hardly secrets."
