Hearing that Elder Meng was actually only a little over three thousand years old, Xuan Hao understood that it would only be a matter of time before he managed to recover back to his former peak and broke through to the Soul Ascension Realm.
Other than this, Xuan Hao also caught on to the fact that Elder Meng was not originally someone from the Sky Empire but had only come to the Sky Empire after his strength had regressed to the Fifth Stage of the Domain Lord Realm.
Given how little he knew about the surrounding Empires and the situation outside the Sky Empire, he could only guess that it was due to the place he was from being in a rather chaotic state where even Domain Lords were at the risk of dying if they did not have enough strength.
