Chapter 1393: Ultimate Condescension
Though Zhentian’s tone was very friendly, his words clearly showed his firm attitude.
Daoist Puresun replied: “If Daoist Meng must board, I have no choice but to overestimate myself and spar with you.”
The crowd was stirred after hearing this. In their eyes, an invincible existence was finally challenged by someone from the younger generation even when the older cultivators would refrain from doing so. They were breathless due to Puresun’s audacity.
This was completely different from Ruyan and Jianshi stepping up. The two women knew that they weren’t Zhentian’s match, but they had no choice but to fight.
It was different for Puresun. He challenged Zhentian in such a calm manner that it made people suddenly feel as if he was qualified to fight against him, an illusion of sorts.
In the past, Puresun was too reserved and his reputation was inferior to Profound’s, so his challenge to Zhentian took the crowd by surprise.
Profound had the biggest reaction to this declaration. His eyes flashed as he was overwhelmed with excitement. He had always brooded about his brother not wanting to compete for the Heaven’s Will.
He understood just how strong his brother was despite his lackadaisical nature. This was how his brother should act all the time!
Zhentian laughed in response: “Gu Chun’s four branches are indeed wonderful. There is no denying that the two of you are incredible for being this strong at your age. I’m sure I was inferior to you when I was younger, but right now, you are not strong enough.”
Some felt great fear after hearing this. They didn’t expect the powerful Zhentian to admit that he was inferior to Puresun when he was at the same age!
Being recognized as such was a great honor, a supreme glory of a lifetime. Others would be elated after hearing the praise, but Puresun simply chuckled: “There is always a higher step even at the highest level of enlightenment. In terms of cultivation and mastery, I am not your match as you have walked further than me, but there are things in this world that are too unpredictable. Only through fighting will the victor be known. But then again, even Immortal Emperors have lost. Both victory and defeat are merely methods of honing oneself, there’s no need to look at them as the deciding factor.”
Puresun’s style looked exactly like someone who was undefeatable among the younger generation.
Profound was applauding him in his mind. This was his brother’s graceful bearing — completely matchless in this world! His eyes lit up while waiting to see his brother’s true strength because he had never seen it before. Even as the junior brother, he didn’t know the extent of Puresun’s strength.
Many people found it hard to breathe after hearing this calm response to Zhentian. This type of demeanor proved just how mighty he was.
“Well said!” At this time, a loud laughter came as someone applauded: “It is a shame to have such a great mentality yet not compete for the Heaven’s Will.”
People turned their heads and saw someone quickly approaching. He appeared before everyone in the blink of an eye. Ruyan, Jianshi, and Puresun also smiled after seeing this newcomer.
“Fierce is back!” Someone shouted right away.
“I knew Fierce isn’t someone who’s afraid of trouble, he definitely wouldn’t flee.” An expert became very excited after seeing Li Qiye come back.
Some cultivators thought that Li Qiye wouldn’t dare to fight Zhentian so he ran. At this moment, this group didn’t dare to say anything.
