The second treasure appeared somewhat gloomy, even carrying a hint of eeriness.

It seemed to make one's hair stand on end at a single glance.

Then the crowd turned their gaze to the Grand Dao Script.

["Nether Coffin Lamp, ranked as a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, is a ghostly divine lamp. Within the lamp resides a clump of 'gray flame' named 'Nether Ghost Fire.' This fire connects directly to the netherworld, capable of manifesting scenes from a deceased person's life, and can even burn away any nether entity in the world. Master: Taoist Randeng!"]

After reading the explanation of this treasure, many secretly clicked their tongues in awe.

No wonder it looked so fearsome.

That terrifying aura truly felt unsettling.

So it was a ghostly divine lamp.

The master of this lamp was none other than Taoist Randeng.

With that, Taoist Randeng was quite remarkable himself.

He actually had three treasures on the ranking.

Not a bit inferior to the Sages.

They were:

The Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, ranked one hundredth.

The Cosmos Ruler, ranked fifty-first.

And the Nether Coffin Lamp, ranked twenty-seventh.

Although Taoist Randeng had become a laughingstock for everyone.

And had even offended Yuanshi Tianzun because of it.

No one underestimated Taoist Randeng in the slightest.

On the contrary, they secretly admired him.

After all, he was a primordial great power.

Absolutely not to be taken lightly.

For he was someone who dared to confront even Sage Yuanshi.

The Primordial Beings, with mixed feelings, widened their eyes and looked toward the next treasure.

["Yin-Yang Sun-Moon Lamp, ranked as a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, is a divine path supreme treasure. Within the lamp, Yin-Yang Divine Fire is nurtured, capable of transforming into Yin-Yang Qi, incinerating all things in the world, manipulating minds, and refining a person's heart and spirit into a puppet. Master: Guiding!"]

(Author's note: In Journey to the West, the mouse spirit who stole lamp oil was from this lamp; the Yin-Yang Qi within transformed into the fairies Qingxia and Zixia.)

As soon as this treasure appeared, countless Primordial great powers once again burst into exclamations of awe.

This treasure was indeed formidable.

Yin-Yang Divine Fire could also refine a person's heart and spirit, turning them into a puppet.

If it was truly that powerful, then in the future, one would have to take a detour upon meeting Sage Guiding.

After all, the Two Sages of the West were no good sorts.

What if, by some carelessness, one was refined into a puppet by him? Wouldn't that be a lamentable tragedy?

Within Mount Sumeru of the Western Sect, Sage Zhunti looked toward Sage Guiding:

"Congratulations, elder brother, on having another treasure on the ranking."

After all, Sage Zhunti had already come to a complete halt here.

So now, it could only depend on his elder brother.

Sage Guiding nodded, his expression finally easing slightly.

All the Sages between heaven and earth had several treasures on the ranking!

Only he, Guiding, had but a single treasure on the list: the Receiver Divine Canopy.

It was truly too embarrassing.

Although no one had noticed it yet.

He himself could hardly bear it.

Now that the Yin-Yang Sun-Moon Lamp had also made the ranking.

Though he still lagged behind in numbers.

It at least made up for his awkward situation.

The Primordial Beings once again turned their gaze to the fourth treasure.

["Eight Scenery Palace Lamp, ranked as a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, is an earthly divine lamp. Within the lamp resides a clump of purple flame named 'Heaven-Burning Purple Fire.' This fire possesses boundless power, capable of burning the heavens and boiling the seas. Legend has it that this fire can investigate all living beings. Master: Taishang!"]

The billions upon billions of living beings in the Primordial World, upon seeing these Grand Dao Scripts, once again erupted in uproar.

Another powerful divine lamp had made the ranking.

Thus...

The six treasures ranked twenty-seventh on the Treasure Ranking should all be divine lamps.

Everyone eagerly looked toward the fifth treasure.

Sure enough, it was another divine lamp.

["Jade Void Glazed Lamp, a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, a Heavenly Dao divine lamp. Within the lamp is nurtured the Glazed Myriad Spirits Fire. This fire is mysterious and unfathomable, unstoppable by gods or ghosts—it is the fire of the Heavenly Dao. Master: Yuanshi."]

Another extremely powerful divine lamp.

And this one was a Heavenly Dao divine lamp.

That meant the next divine lamp would probably be a Human Dao divine lamp, right?

Everyone turned their gaze to the final treasure.

["Precious Lotus Lamp, an Ultimate Innate Merit Spiritual Treasure, a Human Dao divine lamp. Within the lamp resides the Seven Treasure Mystic Fire. Legend says this fire was the first divine flame in heaven and earth, once illuminating chaos and aiding Pangu in splitting the heavens. This celestial fire eventually transformed into the Seven Treasure Mystic Fire. All beings with the seven emotions and six desires are restrained by it; only those possessing boundless benevolent power can activate it, wielding divine power that shakes heaven and earth and reverses the course of fate. Master: Nuwa!"]

Thus, the six great treasures of heaven and earth were all revealed.

At this moment, Goddess Nuwa inside Wa Palace was delighted to see her name appear.

She had thought that after the Red Embroidered Ball made the list, the Treasure Ranking would have nothing more for her.

But unexpectedly, the Precious Lotus Lamp had also made the list.

It was truly a pleasant surprise.

All the great powers of the Primordial World watched with rapt fascination.

Seven treasures appearing at once.

Or rather, six treasures appearing at once.

It was far more satisfying than seeing them one by one.

At the very least, it let people take them all in at a single glance.

The six divine lamps in the sky continued to flicker without pause.

Many people had already caught on.

Didn't these six divine lamps represent the six paths of Heaven, Earth, Human, Divine, Ghost, and Demon?

Each path had a corresponding divine lamp...

Whether it was coincidence or fate working in the unseen, no one could say.

After a long while, another large mass of purple aura descended from the sky.

["Treasure Ranking, twenty-seventh place: Six Spirit Lamps. These six divine lamps are all Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. When gathered together, they can form the Six Spirit Lamp Fire Reincarnation Formation, which can incinerate a Heavenly Dao Sage. Hence, they are ranked twenty-seventh..."]

Upon seeing these Grand Dao Scripts, many people sighed and shook their heads, still not fully satisfied.

At the same time, they gained insight into many things.

They also learned secrets they had never known before.

So these six divine lamps could form the Six Spirit Lamp Fire Reincarnation Formation.

And this Six Spirit Lamp Fire Formation could incinerate a Sage. No wonder it overpowered the Seven-Colored Gourds and ranked twenty-seventh...

Everyone had absolute faith in the authority of the Hongmeng Purple Gold List.

After all, from the hundredth place on the Treasure Ranking all the way down to the twenty-seventh, there had never been a single mistake.

Though some had felt unconvinced, as the list was revealed, those people had no choice but to shut their mouths.

Next, the Purple-Gold Qi in the sky began to churn once more.

Everyone knew the next list was about to be revealed.

They quickly widened their eyes and stared intently at the heavens.

Sure enough.

The golden aura spreading across the sky began to boil first.

Then it split into five streams, shining directly down into midair.

Everyone grew excited again.

Five clusters of golden light? Could this be another batch of multiple treasures?

The five clusters of golden light in the air gradually began to manifest.

And indeed, they revealed five treasures.

They were five banner-like treasures.

As soon as these five treasure banners appeared.

The entire Primordial World erupted in shock.

Because everyone recognized these five treasures.

They were also treasures that all beings in the Primordial World yearned for.

The purple Grand Dao Scripts in the sky began to manifest.
