Chapter 417 Zhao Gongming, how long have you been a Quasi-Saint?
Chapter 417 Zhao Gongming, how long have you been a Quasi-Saint?
Just as everyone was shocked that the Quasi-Saint sent by the Jie Sect was Zhao Gongming, Zhao Gongming and the Antarctic Immortal stood facing each other on the Dao Discussion Platform.
The Antarctic Immortal stared intently at Zhao Gongming, his body shrouded in celestial light, his aura vast and unfathomable.
After all, he has been a Quasi-Saint for countless lifetimes.
As for Zhao Gongming, he had only recently been promoted to Quasi-Saint.
Zhao Gongming also gazed at the Antarctic Immortal, his expression unchanged, his face calm and serene.
After a moment of silence, the Antarctic Immortal squinted and said:
"Zhao Gongming, how long have you been a Quasi-Saint?"
"You dare to fight me?"
When he said this, the Antarctic Immortal's tone carried a hint of condescending contempt.
In his view, if Daoist Duobao were to fight him, he might be able to take it seriously.
But if it were Zhao Gongming instead, the Old Man of the South Pole would feel much more at ease.
"Ha ha!"
Upon hearing what the Antarctic Immortal said, Zhao Gongming couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"Senior Brother Antarctic, the way you're talking makes it sound like you're something special just because you advanced to Quasi-Saint a few years earlier than me?"
"The path of cultivation depends on comprehension, opportunity, and fortune!"
"It's not about who advances to the next level to become stronger!"
At this point, Zhao Gongming's smile vanished, and he added:
"You saw it before, too."
"My personal disciple, with the cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, defied and defeated a Quasi-Saint of your Chan Sect."
"In terms of years of cultivation, my disciple hasn't been cultivating for many years."
As soon as Zhao Gongming uttered these words, the Old Man of the South Pole was rendered speechless.
He had originally planned to gain the upper hand over Zhao Gongming in terms of momentum.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Gongming used Chen Changsheng's victory over Guang Chengzi, who had just been promoted to Quasi-Saint, as a counter-argument.
At the same time, the disciples present were all taken aback when they heard what Zhao Gongming said, and all turned their gazes to Chen Changsheng.
"What?"
"I...I didn't hear wrong, did I?"
"This Chen Changsheng has only been on the path of cultivation for a few years?"
"Really?"
"He's human! How can his cultivation talent be so monstrous?"
"Even beings with innate talent couldn't possibly cultivate to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal in such a short time, could they?"
"The key point is that he even managed to defeat a Quasi-Saint while only being a Grand Luo Golden Immortal!"
"..."
Immediately, the disciples were all amazed, and their awe of Chen Changsheng grew even stronger.
The disciples of the Chan Sect, in particular, were utterly shocked.
They originally thought that Chen Changsheng had been Zhao Gongming's disciple for a long time.
Who knew that it would only be a few years?
Master Yu Ding glanced at himself, his heart filled with emotion.
This is something others may not know, but he knows it very well.
Knowing that Chen Changsheng began his cultivation journey around the same time as Yang Jian, one would conclude that Chen Changsheng did so around the same time.
"It must be said, Chen Changsheng's talent in cultivation is absolutely astonishing!"
Master Yu Ding was secretly amazed.
After taking Yang Jian under his wing, he was extremely satisfied with this disciple.
After all, Yang Jian was already blessed with great fortune.
In just a short period of time, he has already advanced his cultivation to the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
In Yu Ding's view, Yang Jian's achievements already made him a dragon among men.
Who would have thought that her brother-in-law, Chen Changsheng, was even more monstrous than Yang Jian?
"Could this young man also be someone destined for great fortune?"
"But why is there absolutely no indication...?"
Upon thinking of this, Master Yu Ding frowned slightly and couldn't help but glance at Chen Changsheng a few more times.
Upon hearing this, Manjushri Bodhisattva's eyes flashed with surprise, and he sighed inwardly:
"What?"
"He's only been practicing for a few years?"
"Is Zhao Gongming... just bluffing?"
Manjushri found it hard to believe, as he was still resentful of his previous defeat to Chen Changsheng at Chentang Pass.
He had originally planned to take action again during the Seven Peaks Competition and teach Chen Changsheng a lesson.
However, after seeing that Chen Changsheng had defeated Guang Chengzi, who had broken through to the Quasi-Saint level in the heat of battle, Manjushri gave up the idea.
In his view, even Guang Chengzi was no match for Chen Changsheng, so for him to step onto the stage would only be to humiliate himself.
On the other side, Guang Chengzi was also deeply shocked.
"How is that possible?"
"How could someone cultivate from a mere mortal to a Great Luo Golden Immortal in just a few years?"
"Moreover, his method of creating clones is even more bizarre and terrifying."
Guang Chengzi gasped in surprise, finding it hard to believe.
Just as everyone was shocked by Zhao Gongming's words, on the Dao Discussion Platform, the Antarctic Immortal took a deep breath, then stared fiercely at Zhao Gongming and said:
"Zhao Gongming, stop being so glib!"
"bring it on!"
"Let me see just how capable you are, this newly promoted Quasi-Saint?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a vast and powerful quasi-saint aura suddenly erupted from the body of the Antarctic Immortal.
As soon as this energy was released, the entire area where the Dao Discussion Platform was located trembled violently, and the wind and clouds changed color.
Zhao Gongming's long robe fluttered in the wind as the old man of the South Pole unleashed his aura.
One can naturally sense the terrifying aura emanating from the Antarctic Immortal.
However, there was no fear in his eyes; instead, a surge of fighting spirit rose up.
His advancement to Quasi-Saint was largely thanks to the Quasi-Saint Pill that Chen Changsheng had given him.
Even after advancing to Quasi-Saint, he has not yet shown his strength to anyone.
He naturally wanted to try it out and see just how much his strength had increased.
After a slight pause, a glint of shrewdness flashed in Zhao Gongming's eyes.
Immediately afterwards, his eyes widened in anger, he made hand seals and chanted incantations, and directly unleashed a treasure.
The moment this treasure appeared, the world fell silent.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that Zhao Gongming now held a dark gold rope in his hand.
The rope, about the thickness of a thumb, coiled quietly, without any luster, resembling a dormant ancient black serpent.
However, upon closer inspection, one can discover...
The inscription on the rope was not made of ordinary iron, but rather covered with fine, naturally formed dragon scale patterns, as fine as mosquito eyelashes.
Within each scale, golden clouds seemed to swirl and surge.
At both ends of the rope, instead of flat ends, there are two naturally formed dragon heads the size of fists.
The dragon's head is closed with its eyes lowered, and it holds a dragon pearl in its mouth.
From within that dragon pearl, there seemed to be a vast ocean, with waves appearing and disappearing, which was the scene of "two dragons playing in the sea"!
"It's...it's the Dragon-Binding Rope!"
Upon seeing the magical weapon that Zhao Gongming had unleashed, someone exclaimed in surprise, recognizing it as such.
After all, Zhao Gongming had already made a name for himself in the prehistoric world.
All living beings who have seen or heard of this should know that the Dragon-Binding Rope is Zhao Gongming's signature magic weapon!
"The Dragon-Binding Rope?"
Upon seeing this, Chen Changsheng muttered to himself.
Naturally, he knew that this Dragon-Binding Rope was no ordinary magic weapon.
If things had continued along the original trajectory, Zhao Gongming would have used this treasure to capture Huanglong Zhenren, one of the twelve immortals of the Chan Sect, during the subsequent Investiture of the Gods.
It was bestowed upon Zhao Gongming by the Tongtian Sect Leader when he distributed treasures at Biyou Palace; it can capture dragons and bind immortals.
