    Hmm, the MC seems to have forgotten that he had indeed intended to go overseas, but changed his plans once there was no longer a point in doing so.

    Honestly, that token feels a bit superfluous, and its probability of working if wielded by someone without the strength to conquer the empire on their own is likely zero. Frankly, I doubt there's anyone alive that even remembers what the token looks like, much less what it means or how to verify its authenticity.

    Odds are that it would likely be given to a royal family member regardless. Besides it might have some of his legend divine sense in it to enfore it.

    Why does he suddenly want to conquer the continent? Didn't he believe it wasn't worth the trouble before?

    Exactly. This is completely out of character.

    If this was just the countries that had been plotting against them I'd be fine with it.

    If he's at the 3rd layer, and that's considered one step below the top, then why wouldn't the sects want to recruit him? Unless he's done something to destroy his own reputation, there's no reason for them to not want more powerful people loyal to the sect, especially for the second rate powers.

    Wow, this guy might actually manage to not commit suicide. I'm truly surprised.

    Did it say that he couldn't join? At any rate I think the "top" he referred to are probably the known experts. There might be some hidden ancestors in the upper realm.

    I wonder if he's about to accidentally destroy half the city...
    I wasn't responding to anything you had written...

    I didn't think you were. I was asking if the story said he couldn't join a sect if he wanted to(that the sects didn't try to recruit him basically).

    Perhaps I'm misremembering the chapter that introduced him, but I thought it had said that. As I recall, the lack of resources from them refusing to recruit him is the whole reason he came to this continent.

    "there would be no problem in negotiating with them…” If a negotiation actually happened, I'd expect it to be something along the lines of "Surrender or die."

    Why would you mobilize the army to face a Legend? If anything, you should be scattering them to preserve their numbers.

    I wonder if all the Legends going forward will be so nice as to offer themselves up to be slaughtered by going straight to Chang An, or if some of them will actually try to avoid the MC.

    They should send Bloodkill over to scout things out.

    I've read enough of this novel to not expect any scouting from the enemies. I bet they'd be like, "There's a Legend there" "So what?" then they'll reach the palace and shout something like "Surrender or Die!", every Martial Artists on the capital would be amazed and scared when they see a bunch of Legends surrounding the Palace... alright this is getting too long, long story short they'll do something stupid and get killed.

    His sister has a fragment of his divine sense, doesn't she? Can't she use that to contact him and let him know he has visitors before they start trying to lay waste to the city? Failing that, don't they have a bunch of coins from him that were created specifically for dealing with enemies?

    How did 3rd Heavenly Layer go from "respected elder in even the major sects" to basically nothing that any random cultivator could manage in under two centuries?

    I'm mildly surprised that Ruan Qing couldn't defeat any of them. He's been taught by the MC directly after all. Him beating one of them would have been credited to the MC.

    Now that one of them has died in a way they can't really comprehend, I wonder if they'll try to surrender or to flee. Fleeing seems more likely if the MC lets them, but you never know.

    Those Divine sense thingy are for protection and probably a one way communication.

    Yeah, it's ridiculous that these disciples are still disciples when they're Legends already. A Vice Sect Master is at 3rd/4th Heavenly Layer already yet these mobs who are dumb enough that they would just believe a rogue cultivator's every word. And he was gone for more than a hundred years. How tf did they reach 3rd layer when they can't even do a simple reconnaisance.

    It was my understanding that they're sentient to some extent as they're sort of like proto-clones of him. As such, communication in dire circumstances should be possible.

    To be fair, they did do the recon. They just didn't believe its results due to their own, perfectly reasonable preconceptions, which were then confirmed when the met the MC's servant.

    Oh right, the Divine Sense is similar to an apparition of the MC, at thr level he placed it. He usually just one hit kill his enemies so it's hard to remember his numerous skills.

    This magic power sounds basically worthless compared to his sword. Sure, it'd be good as an AoE, but its not like he needs to take out an army of Legends, and the collateral damage to the environment and any allies he might have around him would just not be worth the minimal amounts of time the power would save him.

    Why does he think this is his first combat oriented magic power? Eyes of Truth lets him target weak points with absolute precision (assuming he ever finds anything strong enough for him to care about its weak points), and Flesh Rebirth allows him to attack with abandon while not caring at all about defense. I mean, sure, neither one is helpful to him in battle since he's so OP compared to anyone he's willing to fight, but the same can be said for the new power.
