Chapter 35: The Contest

"How rich nature's spiritual energy is!" Zhunti's eyes gleamed with greed as he gazed at the Investiture of the Gods list floating in mid-air, proclaiming, "Hahaha! This object and I must be fated, it shall be ours to obtain!"

Tongtian spoke up, "Fellow Daoist, your words are mistaken. This item clearly originated from our Eastern domain, how could it be fated for you?"

"As East and West all fall under the Heavenly Dao, where does this notion of 'your Eastern object' come from?" Zhunti retorted with a light laugh.

Li Qingming didn't believe that Tongtian could out-talk Zhunti. These bald monks were best known for their verbal tricks in later generations. Thus, he called out:

"I see Mount Sumeru as very fated to me, why not let me uproot that mountain and bring it to my Ten Thousand Bamboo Island! I wonder what the venerable Master Uncles think of this?"

Nuwa covered her mouth and chuckled softly, while Laozi and Primordial Venerable also smiled.
