The elder overseeing the relic, despite not being exceedingly powerful, is ultimately a Dao Fusion.

A remarkable little girl... Lu Ye could only think of one person!
"What is her relation to the old gentleman?" Lu Ye looked ahead.
The elder smiled faintly, "I taught her for a period."

"I understand." Lu Ye nodded.
