Heavenly King Yuan Shi mused, "Tathagata... indeed now has the qualifications to strive for saint position. If the third brother doesn't use his sword... no, the third brother has made recent progress."
Heavenly King Yuan Shi wanted to use Heaven Connecting Sect Hierarch as an example, but then he suddenly remembered that the Sect Hierarch had mastered the Power of World Extinction and had made a breakthrough in strength.
Then the Buddha Tathagata would not be able to keep up.
So Heavenly King Yuan Shi took Saint Cundi as an example: "If Fellow Daoist Cundi does not wield the Seven Treasures Magic Tree, Buddha Tathagata has a chance to survive a beating from Fellow Daoist Cundi."
Ji Changsheng blinked and blurted out, "Just not dying doesn't make one very strong, Nether River managed that too, only to be beaten to death by my mom in three punches."
Heavenly King Yuan Shi coughed lightly and explained, "Among saints, there is also a difference in strength."
