"Second Senior Brother is way too freakish! How come we rarely heard people mention him back in Tiandu?"
"That is because your time in Tiandu was too short," Du Qinghui said with a smile. "We all measure our time in centuries. You brat stayed in Tiandu for thirteen years before heading down the mountain. Second Senior Brother was Master's favorite disciple and the one with the highest hopes of inheriting Master's mantle. But after he became obsessed with the Dao of the sword, he strayed from the right path. Although Tiandu has the Myriad Immortals Sword Array to awe all demons with sword qi, Master said that the true Great Dao is not achieved through artifacts. Once cultivation reaches a higher stage, one must let go of all attachments, including the sword at one's side. Second Senior Brother, however, disagreed. He insisted on piercing straight into the Great Dao with the sword. Not only did this run counter to Master's teachings, but he also left Tiandu year after year to seek and comprehend the Dao elsewhere. Everyone was afraid of breaking Master's heart, so no one ever mentioned him in front of Master."
"I see!"
