"Zhunti, give it a rest! Your Maitreya—how much talent could he possibly have? My Jiejiao’s Daoist Duobao, now that is a true dragon among men!" Master Tongtian shouted at the top of his lungs. His voice reverberated through Zixiao Palace, ringing painfully in everyone’s ears. With a theatrical expression, he glared with eyes wide as copper bells, as if he could see right through Daoist Zhunti.
"He cultivates with such ferocity, never resting day or night, his pursuit of power endless. Not only is his strength formidable, but his mind is exceptionally sharp; anything he handles is resolved with ease. The position of Lord of the Heavenly Court must be his!" His words were brimming with confidence and pride, as if Daoist Duobao were already securely seated upon the throne of the Heavenly Court.
