The Old Ghost, however, seemed entirely unsurprised. He looked at Ye Ming with a chuckle and said, "But you needn't lose heart. An Innate Saint might be powerful, but they aren't invincible. History is not without fallen Innate Saints. What's more, above the aptitude of an Innate Saint is that of a Banished Immortal. And in you, I see a glimmer of what it takes to be the Protagonist of Heaven and Earth..."
"The Protagonist of Heaven and Earth?"
Ye Ming perked up. It was the first time the Old Ghost had ever mentioned such things.
"The young woman in white who appeared in Qianyuan Prefecture that day likely has the aptitude of a Banished Immortal."
