Chapter 897

However, those who can reach the Quasi-Saint realm are still as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.

Counting across the entire Central Plains, there are only about ten Quasi-Saints.

Almost every Quasi-Saint possesses hundreds of years of accumulation, which is absolutely incomparable to a Half-Saint.

This can be seen just from Su Chen's ranking.

That Sun Sect truly possessed the strength to wipe out the No-God Absolute Palace with one person, yet in the end, it was still categorized in the same tier as the Fist Dao God.

One can imagine how immense the gap between a Quasi-Saint and a Half-Saint is.

Everyone never expected that there would be as many as three experts of this realm among the foreign races.

The only thing that made everyone feel slightly comforted was that the ones on the list this time were no longer experts from the Dongying Jianghu.

For a moment, everyone in the hall began to discuss one after another:

"The ones on the list this time are again Mongol Yuan experts. Could this Foreign Expert List really be monopolized by Mongol Yuan and Dongying?"

"These two Jianghu are truly terrifying. Dongying Jianghu goes without saying, and this Mongol Yuan Jianghu, with one Quasi-Saint and two Half-Saints, is not inferior to the Central Plains Jianghu either."

"It's fortunate that it's not Dongying Jianghu. I am increasingly feeling the danger of Dongying Jianghu; it will absolutely be a great enemy of the Central Plains!"

"The Dongying Empire indeed has the ambitions of a wolf, but the Mongol Yuan Empire's ambition is not far behind. Both are threats to the Central Plains."

"That's right! From the Demon Master Pang Ban, one can see Mongol Yuan's layout in the Central Plains; they absolutely have the heart to annex the Central Plains."

"I have long heard that the secret arts of the Tibetan Esoteric Sect are strange and powerful. It is indeed true; they actually have two Saint-grade secret arts."

"Is this Bashiba's 'Heaven-Changing Earth-Striking Great Art' actually a top-quality Saint-grade secret art? This person must be a great enemy of the Central Plains."

"Bashiba should be someone focused on the Martial Dao. Although he is revered as the State Preceptor by Genghis Khan, he may not truly exert his full effort for the Mongol Yuan Empire."

……

On the White Jade Platform.

Su Chen lightly shook his folding fan, not intending to end the commentary here, and continued:

"Regarding Bashiba, there is another strange anecdote."

"As the Tibetan King and Mongol Yuan State Preceptor, Bashiba's status and position are exceptionally revered, and he spends his entire year in seclusion within the ancestral grounds of the Esoteric Sect."

"Even Genghis Khan, having invited him to meet and talk several times, was flatly refused."

"However, he once had a very wonderful encounter with a Central Plains expert."

"This Central Plains expert, everyone is also very familiar with; it is Chuan Ying of the Great Song Jianghu."

"When previously commenting on the Great Song Wu Huang List and the Nine Provinces Blade God List, Su Mou had commented on Chuan Ying."

"This person can be called a peerless talent of the age, self-enlightened in the Heavenly Dao, and advancing by leaps and bounds all the way."

"Although he only has the peak Wu Huang realm, his blade technique has already entered the Land Blade Immortal level."

"Chuan Ying learned from the heavens and earth, once traveling the world with a thick-backed blade, and during this, he went to the Mongol Yuan Jianghu."

"Because of an accident, one of Chuan Ying's short blades was obtained by Bashiba's disciple and presented to Bashiba."

"Bashiba saw at a glance that the short blade retained Land Blade Immortal-level blade intent, could not help but be shocked as if by a heavenly being, and hurriedly went down the mountain to search."

"But Chuan Ying had no fixed residence and had long since drifted far away, so they ultimately did not meet."

"Subsequently, Bashiba performed the 'Heaven-Changing Earth-Striking Great Art', combined with the supreme Esoteric Sect secret transmission, and actually established a connection with Chuan Ying by relying on the Chuan Ying blade intent remaining on that short blade."

"This 'Heaven-Changing Earth-Striking Great Art' of his was originally a mental attack method, which could make the person under the technique sink into the mental world unable to extricate themselves, eventually becoming a puppet at his mercy."

"But this time, Bashiba kicked an iron plate."

"Chuan Ying's mental power was not the slightest bit inferior to his, and he even actively accepted his 'Heaven-Changing Earth-Striking Great Art', directly confronting him in the mental world."

"At that time, Chuan Ying only had the cultivation of the ninth layer of the Wu Huang realm, while Bashiba had already entered the Quasi-Saint realm."

"But the confrontation between the two in the mental world was evenly matched, forcing Bashiba to use his ultimate secret technique, the Thousand-Hundred Generations Reincarnation."

"The two were entangled in this mental world for thousands of generations, as if they had conducted a long, trans-spatial journey."

"In the thousand-hundred generations of reincarnation, the two were sometimes friends, sometimes enemies, sometimes husband and wife, sometimes father and son, with various identities changing indefinitely."

"This secret technique can be called extremely dangerous; a slight carelessness would lead to drowning in the reincarnation of time and space, unable to extricate oneself, eventually exhausting one's spirit and dying."

"But in the end, the two relied on their powerful willpower and all woke up."

"Therefore, Chuan Ying and Ba Shiba, though they had never formally met, had long been soulmates, forging a profound friendship that was both adversarial and fraternal."

"At the same time, both men benefited greatly from this long journey through time and space, laying a solid foundation for their future breakthrough into the Martial Saint Realm."
