"Recalling Daoist Randeng's words, Sage Zhunti of The West had a total of three magic treasures on the list!"
The moment those words were spoken...
Sage Zhunti of The West's face completely darkened.
After all, having it exposed publicly by someone else was indeed rather humiliating.
Following Senior Little Erbi's prompt, the countless beings of the Primordial Land began taking stock of Sage Zhunti's magic treasures.
The Six Roots of Purity Bamboo, ranked fiftieth.
The Empowering Divine Pestle, ranked forty-second.
The Seven Treasure Mystical Tree, ranked thirty-fourth.
Sure enough, neither more nor less—exactly three.
At that moment, Taoist Randeng's irritatingly smug voice rang out:
"Zhunti, this Daoist also has three magic treasures on the list. My Nether Coffin Lamp ranks twenty-seventh, ahead of your Seven Treasure Mystical Tree. Are you convinced?"
The moment those words were spoken.
Many creatures of the Primordial Land spat out their food.
Sage Zhunti's original words had actually been thrown back at him by Taoist Randeng, word for word.
Wasn't that a slap in Sage Zhunti's face?
It could even be said that Sage Zhunti's face had been slapped resoundingly.
The countless beings of the Primordial Land all found Taoist Randeng somewhat despicable after hearing his words.
Yet his despicableness was oddly endearing.
It was truly impossible not to laugh.
Taoist Randeng was not wrong.
He himself also had three magic treasures on the list, no worse than Sage Zhunti's.
They were:
The Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, ranked one hundredth. (The future pagoda of Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li.)
The Cosmos Ruler, ranked fifty-first.
The Nether Coffin Lamp, one of the Six Spirit Lamps, ranked twenty-seventh.
Although the Nether Coffin Lamp's ranking was somewhat opportunistic, it was still higher than the Seven Treasure Mystical Tree no matter what.
That was beyond question.
The moment Taoist Randeng said this.
Sage Zhunti's face darkened, and fury surged in his heart.
"Randeng, you damned fool! If you have the guts, come out and let me sweep you with my tree!"
Any one of the countless beings in the Primordial Land could tell that Sage Zhunti was utterly enraged at that moment.
He only had three magic treasures on the list, placing him at the bottom among the Sages.
Then Taoist Randeng had humiliated him like this.
Naturally, he had flown into a rage out of shame.
Then Taoist Randeng's smug voice sounded again:
"Old Daoist Zhunti, you want to make a move against me? Who do you think you are? Even if you wanted to kill me, you'd have to line up behind Yuanshi. It wouldn't be your turn..."
"You, the trashiest Sage, dare mock me? You were given the opportunity to become a Sage, yet even becoming one was difficult for you. You had to make the Forty-Eight Great Vows and borrow Merit from the Heavenly Dao just to barely become a Sage. And now you dare yap at me? Trash..."
Taoist Randeng had finally found an opportunity to vent his anger.
His mouth was like a manure sprayer, blasting Sage Zhunti so badly that he was left dazed and disoriented.
"Randeng, you ill-omened bastard, make yourself clear! Who are you calling trash? Who is the weakest Sage? Damn it... you cursed, ill-omened bastard..."
Upon hearing Sage Zhunti's furious words of humiliation.
Everyone wanted to laugh, yet forcibly held it in.
They wanted to laugh but did not dare, nearly suffering internal injuries from holding it back.
No one had expected Taoist Randeng to be this shameless!
He had openly declared that Sage Zhunti was the weakest Sage.
He had not left Sage Zhunti even a shred of dignity.
No wonder Sage Zhunti had flown into a rage out of shame.
At that moment, Taoist Randeng, somewhere unknown, arrogantly said once more:
"This Daoist is talking about you—about you, you despicable bastard. You, Zhunti, are the weakest Sage."
"What? You're unconvinced? Let me ask you: can you beat Grand Supreme Old Lord? He is the universally acknowledged leader of the Mystic School, the acknowledged strongest cultivator in the Primordial Land. He has eight magic treasures on the rankings. Even if he gave you both legs and one arm, you still wouldn't be his match."
"You..."
Though Daoist Zhunti was furious, he could not say a word. He truly was no match for the Grand Supreme Elder Lord.
Taoist Randeng's words truly delighted Grand Supreme Old Lord.
They caused him to view Taoist Randeng in a different light, and he developed a measure of goodwill toward him.
"Then there's Yuanshi. Yuanshi may be a little hypocritical, but his cultivation and magical power are right there for all to see. He has seven magic treasures on the list as well. Once that Pangu Banner comes out, he has scarcely any equals. Wouldn't he chop your shit right out of you?"
"You... you cursed bastard... how can you speak so crudely..."
Those words enraged Sage Zhunti so badly that he began cursing aloud.
Yet he truly did not know how to refute them.
If he were really to fight Yuanshi Tianzun, he genuinely would not be his opponent.
At that moment, Yuanshi Tianzun, within the Jade Void Palace, also revealed a disdainful look in his eyes.
He had always looked down on the Two Sages of the West.
After all, when the Two Sages of the West became Sages, they had needed to borrow Merit from the Heavenly Dao. Strictly speaking, they were merely pseudo-Sages.
Comparing him with the Two Sages of the West? What a joke.
That bull-nosed old Daoist Randeng was completely right this time. If the Two Sages of the West truly dared come, once he unleashed the Pangu Banner, he really could beat the shit out of them.
At that moment, Randeng's smug voice came over once again:
"Sage Tongtian is even less worth mentioning. With the Four Swords of Zhuxian in his hands, even Taishang and Yuanshi would feel their scalps tingle. Let alone someone like you?"
"You... you damned Randeng! Don't let me see you, or I will never forgive you..."
Sage Zhunti trembled all over in rage.
Yet he could never find any grounds to refute him.
Sage Tongtian wielded the Four Swords of Zhuxian. Once the sword formation was deployed, it could not be broken without four Sages.
Naturally, he could not possibly be Sage Tongtian's opponent. That left him unable to argue.
Within Biyou Palace on Golden Turtle Island, Master Tongtian had already drained the entire gourd of Jade Nectar in his hand.
He was completely drunk by then.
He sprawled freely atop the clouds.
Hearing Taoist Randeng's words, Sage Tongtian inexplicably muttered a few words.
A mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
Taoist Randeng's words came again:
"Guiding Sage of the West is even less worth mentioning. That old fellow looks perpetually worried, but in truth, his schemes run the deepest. He appears unassuming, yet he secretly hides immense cultivation and magical power. Naturally, you are no match for him either... Whether in schemes or magical power, he could sell you off and you wouldn't even know it..."
"..."
Sage Zhunti did not talk back this time. In truth, he could not.
Guiding Sage of the West was his senior brother. Together, they had established the Western Sect in the lands of The West.
He naturally knew Guiding Sage of the West's cultivation better than anyone.
He truly was no match for his senior brother Jieyin.
At that moment, Taoist Randeng's words came again:
"Then there is Saint Nuwa. Although Saint Nuwa has always kept a low profile, she possesses the greatest Merit. Not only does she have the Merit of Creation of Humanity, she also bears the Merit of Mending the Heavens."
"She was also the first Sage besides the Dao Ancestor, becoming a Sage earlier than anyone else. Compared to Nuwa... you are far inferior as well. Yet you still refuse to accept that you are the weakest Sage?"
Those words truly enraged Sage Zhunti.
After adding everything up, had he really become the weakest Sage?
Where would that leave his dignity?
Where could he possibly put his face?
Things had reached this point. No matter what, he had to speak up and refute it.
Otherwise, he would truly become the weakest Sage.
"What utter nonsense! Saint Nuwa is merely a woman. How could she possibly be mentioned in the same breath as me?"
Wow...
The moment Sage Zhunti said those words.
The entire Primordial Land erupted in uproar.
Many great powers were immediately stirred up.
Sage Zhunti had fallen into Taoist Randeng's trap.
He had fallen for Randeng's huge scheme!
This time, Sage Zhunti had thoroughly offended Goddess Nuwa.
Just as the countless beings of the Primordial Land were gloating over his misfortune.
A clear, cold voice descended from the heavens.
