Over time, the rumors grew increasingly absurd. Some claimed that Chen Xuan was nothing more than a kept man, having contributed nothing of substance and merely using the Queen Mother’s reputation to pad his resume and gain recognition during the Great War.
Others alleged that Chen Xuan had fled the Great War in a pathetic, cowardly display, surviving only because he hid behind the protection of women.
In short, the rumors spiraled out of control. Most immortal realm cultivators simply could not stomach the idea of a lowly mortal cultivator from the human realm shining so brightly during the Great War—a feat most immortals wouldn’t even dare dream of.
