"If that's the case, then it all makes sense!"
With the cautionary tale of Progenitor Tingyou as a precedent, that True Monarch Chengtian Zhengde of the Ye Family would surely be on high alert against any Foundation Establishment cultivator who could possibly threaten him.
Even his own Direct Lineage would be no exception.
'Demon-Vanquishing Perfected was probably one of them. He successfully cultivated the Fruit of Wall-Surface Earth, but the Perfected Lord would not tolerate it, so he was forced to switch to a First-Grade True Skill...'
He might not even have known it himself.
After all, the Sword Pavilion has a Secret Technique to erase past lives. If a Perfected Lord personally took action and tampered with you during your reincarnation, you might even end up thanking him!
'The Fruit of Sword Dao... is truly a massive pitfall!'
