After some thought, Nie Yan smiled and said, "Brother Qian must be exaggerating. Although Fellow Daoist Han managed to reach Nascent Soul stage in such a short amount of time, reaching Deity Transformation is still a matter far out of reach. It isn't so easily done. In fact, so long as he reaches late Nascent Soul stage, he is able to proclaim his own sect a hegemon of their side. That seems much more likely."
With a spirited glint appearing from his eyes, the cultivator surnamed Qian slowly said, "Hehe! I merely think too much. If Senior Han doesn't come across any mishap, he'll surely become a greatly influential character in the Heavenly South. Given the deep ties he has to Yellow Maple Valley, if he joins, I reckon it won't be long before we can reclaim the State of Yue."
