Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start

Chapter 20: A Fierce Rebuttal to Guang Chengzi's Three Swords Agreement

"good."

Guang Chengzi nodded slightly. "It's true that Junior Brother Duobao discovered this Golden Marrow Fruit first, but the fruit grows on the territory of my Yuqing lineage."

"Therefore, this fruit should rightfully belong to my Yuqing lineage."

Upon hearing this, the Shangqing disciples who were watching immediately retorted loudly.

"According to the ancient rules, the treasures of heaven and earth belong to the virtuous; whoever discovers them first, they belong to them."

"Yes, that's utterly unreasonable. This Golden Marrow Fruit belongs to Senior Brother Duobao."

"We'd rather fight for pride than for the steamed buns. Even if this Golden Marrow Fruit is ruined, we absolutely cannot let it be given to the disciples of the Jade Purity lineage."

Zhao Gongming said seriously, "Brother Guangchengzi, if we follow your line of reasoning, doesn't it seem a bit against the rules?"

Guang Chengzi said calmly, "In Kunlun Mountain, on the territory of my Yuqing lineage, my word is the rule!"

Among the Three Pure Ones, Taiqing had no disciples, while Guangchengzi was the eldest disciple of Yuqing.

Naturally, he took himself as the chief of the Xuanmen sect.

As the chief of the Xuanmen sect, the first thing Guang Chengzi needs to do is establish his authority!

Zhao Gongming glanced at Guang Chengzi indifferently, then suddenly the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"Brother Guangchengzi, you have quite the big mouth. Kunlun Holy Land is the place where Master, Uncle Master and others cultivate in seclusion."

"You say that on Mount Kunlun, you are the rule. According to you, then wouldn't you be even greater than Master and Senior Uncle?"

Zhao Gongming's words were sharp and incisive, each one a veiled attack on the heart.

It is important to know that in the prehistoric world today, the order of hierarchy and the relationship between master and disciple are highly valued.

Those who betray their teachers and ancestors will be looked down upon wherever they go.

Zhao Gongming's words were tantamount to putting Guang Chengzi directly on the fire to roast.

Sure enough, before Zhao Gongming could finish speaking, Guang Chengzi became anxious.

"What nonsense are you spouting? This Kunlun Mountain is, of course, the territory of Master and Uncle Master."

Zhao Gongming's expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice.

"Since this is the territory of Master and Uncle-Master, and they haven't even spoken or set any rules yet, what are you yelling about here for?"

Zhao Gongming's eloquence was honed through the information explosion of later generations; it was incredibly sharp.

How could a mere Guang Chengzi be a match for him?

He could only manage a few words before his face turned bright red, and he couldn't utter a single word.

"You, you, Zhao Gongming, you've gone too far!"

Guang Chengzi slowly exuded an aura that was infinitely close to that of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

A massive aura swept across all directions, displaying immense power.

The surrounding space trembled continuously, and even the earth shook faintly three times.

"This is going too far!"

Zhao Gongming smiled, "I think the one who's going too far is you!"

As his voice fell, his aura flared up, though he was only at the late Golden Immortal level.

However, his magical power was profound, refined, and in no way inferior to that of Guang Chengzi.

Guang Chengzi was secretly pleased to see that Zhao Gongming only had the cultivation level of the late Golden Immortal stage, and said.

"Zhao Gongming, since that's the case, do you dare to fight me?"

"There's no need to fight you."

Zhao Gongming glanced at Guang Chengzi indifferently, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Guang Chengzi was overjoyed, never expecting that Zhao Gongming would back down at the last moment.

Just as he was about to speak again, Zhao Gongming spoke up once more.

"If you can withstand three of my sword strikes, my junior brother Duobao and I will not only return the Golden Marrow Fruit, but also personally apologize to you."

"If you can't withstand three of my sword strikes, from now on, whenever you see a direct disciple of my Shangqing lineage, you'll have to call them Senior Brother or Senior Sister. How about that?"

"What did you say?"

Guang Chengzi was stunned and stared at Zhao Gongming in disbelief.

He suspected that Zhao Gongming might have taken the wrong medicine.

He was a peak Golden Immortal, no, he even had one foot in the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

And he, at only the late stage of Golden Immortal, with such cultivation, thought he could defeat him with three swords?

Moreover, when he became an apprentice at Kunlun Mountain, he saw that Zhao Gongming was holding a black steel whip.

In other words, Zhao Gongming had not practiced swordsmanship before becoming an apprentice.

Even after becoming an apprentice, he was constantly practicing the way of the sword.

To think that someone who has only cultivated swordsmanship for a thousand or two thousand years can defeat him is simply delusional.

Let alone Zhao Gongming, even when Tongtian Shishu was at the Golden Immortal realm, he wouldn't dare to make such boastful remarks.

"Senior Brother, there's no need for that."

Daoist Duobao also believed that Zhao Gongming was putting on a brave face.

How could someone who has cultivated swordsmanship for one or two thousand years defeat Guang Chengzi with just three sword strikes?

"Brother Gongming, don't act rashly."

When the Three Immortals heard that Zhao Gongming was going to use three swords to defeat Guang Chengzi, they panicked!

If it were a direct confrontation, Brother Gongming would have a very high chance of winning, given his numerous top-grade spiritual treasures.

But to defeat Guang Chengzi with just three sword strikes using only swordsmanship would be a bit too incredible.

Zhao Gongming gave Duobao and the others a reassuring look, "Don't worry, I have my own plans."

But everyone remained anxious and looked at Zhao Gongming with worried expressions.

It's not that they don't trust Zhao Gongming, but this whole thing is just too outrageous.

Zhao Gongming ignored the others and instead looked calmly at Guang Chengzi, asking again.

"Guang Chengzi, you don't need to worry about anything else. Do you dare to agree to this three-sword pact?"

Guang Chengzi quickly said, fearing that Zhao Gongming would go back on his word, "Why wouldn't I dare? Everyone has heard the conditions. Whoever loses must willingly fulfill them."

"That's natural."

Zhao Gongming laughed heartily.

"Alright, then draw your sword."

Guang Chengzi's vigilance reached its peak, and his entire body was covered inch by inch with the ultimate magical power of a Golden Immortal.

At the same time, he offered up the superior innate spiritual treasure bestowed by Yuqing Yuanshi, the Eight Trigrams Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe.

Guang Chengzi did not believe at all that Zhao Gongming could defeat him with three swords.

But since both sides were going to fight, they were well prepared.

"Good heavens, Senior Brother Guang Chengzi actually unleashed the Eight Trigrams Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe! How is Senior Brother Gongming supposed to fight him now?"

"With your peak Golden Immortal cultivation and the protection of a top-grade spiritual treasure, Senior Brother Gongming, you'd better admit defeat sooner rather than later."

"Let alone three sword strikes, I'm afraid even thirty sword strikes wouldn't be enough for Senior Brother Gongming to break through Senior Brother Guangchengzi's defense, would it?"

The disciples of the Yuqing lineage immediately burst into laughter.

On the other hand, the disciples of Shangqing fell silent, and no one spoke.

The difference is too great, too huge!

Zhao Gongming looked at Guang Chengzi, who was on high alert.

With a slight smile and a thought, the immortal sword bestowed by Tongtian appeared in his hand.

A rich spiritual aura swept over us, enveloping all directions.

"Hiss, such a rich spiritual aura! This is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure!"

"Although top-grade innate spiritual treasures are powerful, the difference in cultivation level is too great, so they can't be of much use. Besides, Senior Brother Guang Chengzi also has a top-grade innate spiritual treasure protecting him."

"Sigh, Senior Brother Gongming has really overestimated himself this time!"

The people around were constantly talking in hushed tones and sighing from time to time.
