Zhu Yan indeed wasn't boasting; when it came to matters of the sea, he knew a great deal and spoke at length about Jiu You True Person. He recounted all the deeds of Jiu You True Person since the time he became renowned.
Born in an archipelago academy, Jiu You True Person first became famous for stealing the academy's treasure and killing the academy's head. After that, he disappeared for fifty years, and when he reappeared, he had achieved the Condensation Spirit Realm. By executing Sword Sovereign of the Yellow Glyph, his name spread far and wide.
Later on, Jiu You True Person executed the Sword Sovereigns with the characters Xuan, Di, and Tian, advancing step by step to a high position in the Eternal Life Pavilion. The reason for his controversy was that all the opponents he killed were his close friends.
