Even so, in the millennium that followed, despite his steady climb to the throne of a True Monarch and his attainment of a Sword Dao Golden Core, the label "outsider from a Small World Heaven" was never completely shed.
Within the Wansheng Sword Sect, certain deep-rooted, ancient factions of True Monarchs never truly overcame their alienation and ostracism of him.
If not for the devastating losses of the war between the Three Sects, the Wansheng Sword Sect would not have faced such a talent shortage, desperate to replenish its ranks with top-tier combatants. Furthermore, had Lv Chunyang's own talent and comprehension not been so astounding as to turn the heads of the entire Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm, suggesting he might even shatter the fetters of the Sword Dao, it never would have been his turn to rise to power, regardless of his Fruit Position.
Outsiders only saw his glamorous status. How could they know of the turbulent undercurrents beneath the surface?
