The Hongmeng Purple Gold List that blotted out the sky and covered the earth was still shrouded in purple mist; the Mystic Treasure Chart had not yet been truly announced, but countless great powers across the Primordial Land had already begun to discuss it endlessly.

Many Dao voices had already begun to resound unceasingly across the Primordial sky:

"I wonder if this Hongmeng Purple Gold List is truly accurate. Surely those legendary treasures will all make the list, one by one?"

"If we're really talking about treasures, I reckon the Three Pure Ones' Primordial Treasures are still the most formidable—the Pangu Banner, the Taiji Diagram, and the Four Swords of Zhuxian."

"Just now, when the heavens collapsed and the earth split, these three Primordial Treasures of the Three Pure Ones each displayed their divine might, protecting the myriad beings of the Primordial Land. They're bound to claim the top spots!"

"That's not necessarily true. I think the most powerful treasure is the Chaos Bell in the hands of His Majesty Eastern Emperor Taiyi. As long as it hovers above the head, one remains undefeated from the start. It also belongs to the ranks of Primordial Treasures and is likely to top the list!"

"Have you all forgotten the Demon Ancestor Rahu from back then? He was the one who contended with the Dao Ancestor Hongjun. Though Rahu later perished, the God-Slaying Demon Spear in his hand still exists in the Primordial Land. If we're talking about the top spot, it has to be the God-Slaying Spear—after all, it's a weapon of unparalleled slaughter!"

"Hmph, you're truly ignorant. Have you all forgotten the Dao Ancestor Hongjun? The Dao Ancestor Hongjun possesses the Creation Jade Tablet. The Creation Jade Tablet is a Chaos Treasure, the source of all Daos! It's on the same level as Pangu's Creation Axe. Though it has shattered and is incomplete, most of the jade tablet remains in the Dao Ancestor's hands. If we're really discussing the top spot, it has to be the Creation Jade Tablet..."

"The Creation Jade Tablet is formidable, but it's still broken and incomplete... If it's ranked first, I reckon many will refuse to accept it..."

The Mystic Treasure Chart of the Primordial Land was about to be announced.

At this moment, countless great powers were discussing it fervently.

Though the list had not yet been released, it had already fully stirred up their curiosity.

After all, this was the biggest gossip across the entire Primordial Land.

Those legendary great powers and their legendary treasures would all appear on the list, one by one.

When that happened, it would satisfy their greatest curiosity.

And even spark disputes among them.

After all, these were all great powers with some means. Various Dao voices rang out unceasingly across the Primordial sky, each supporting the mighty figures they admired.

Some, refusing to yield to one another, had already started fighting outright.

Sage Tongtian, who had already returned to Biyou Palace on Golden Turtle Island, sat cross-legged in the void, his gaze burning as he stared fixedly at the Hongmeng Purple Gold List above the sky.

Around him, four immortal swords drifted and floated unsteadily.

"A Mystic Treasure Chart, is it? This Seat possesses countless treasures—whether the Six Souls Banner, the Heart Piercing Lock, or the Purple-Gold Hammer, which of them is not a treasure that shakes the Primordial Land? Let alone the Four Swords of Zhuxian, unmatched in slaughter? The top spot surely belongs to me, Tongtian!"

Master Tongtian was full of confidence. He held the Four Swords of Zhuxian in his hands, unmatched in slaughter, unbreakable except by four sages. Such a treasure would certainly be ranked first.

Inside the Jade Void Palace, the disheveled-haired Yuanshi Tianzun also stared intently at the Hongmeng Purple Gold List above.

Listening to the discussions of others, a look of disdain appeared in his eyes:

"Merely those born from eggs and dampness, and yet they dare to spout such reckless opinions?"

Yuanshi Tianzun had always been arrogant, looking down on those ants.

He held the Pangu Banner, transformed from the blade of Pangu's Axe. Though the Four Swords of Zhuxian were said to be unmatched in slaughter, when it came to true offensive power, his Pangu Banner was no less formidable.

Moreover, his Pangu Banner had the ability to suppress fate. When it came to ranking, he absolutely refused to believe that his Pangu Banner would fall behind the Four Swords of Zhuxian.

Inside the Tushita Palace above the nine heavens, Grand Supreme Old Lord was sitting cross-legged on a peculiar cushion, gazing down at the living beings of the Primordial Land.

Looking up at the Hongmeng Purple Gold List deep in the sky, he suddenly opened his brows and revealed a peculiar expression.

"Since the living beings of the Primordial Land are so curious, let them have a good look and see for themselves..."

There seemed to be a hint of contempt in his gaze, along with other undertones.

Among the sages, Grand Supreme Old Lord had the deepest foundation.

Whether it was the Primordial Treasure Taiji Diagram or the merit treasure Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth, each one was powerful beyond imagination.

If it really came to ranking treasures, aside from his teacher's Creation Jade Tablet, he would accept no one else's claim to the top.

In the Ancestral Witch Hall, the sacred land of the Witch Race at the very center of the Primordial Land.

Twelve towering figures that blotted out the sky and covered the earth stood there in silence.

All of them looked up at the sky, the atmosphere somewhat subdued.

Their Witch Race had deficient Primordial Spirits, so they were not skilled in using treasures; their forte was their physical bodies.

Now that the Hongmeng Purple Gold List was first announcing the Mystic Treasure Chart, it clearly had nothing to do with their Witch Race.

One of the more hot-tempered Ancestral Witches spoke up:

"So-called treasures are nothing but heterodox paths. There's naturally no need to pay them any mind."

Another Ancestral Witch nodded in agreement:

"Indeed, there's no need to mind them. Our Witch Race stands tall between heaven and earth; our forte is our physical bodies. With just our bodies, we can contend with the Demon Race. Those treasures are ultimately external objects. Those who rely on treasures are nothing but ants..."

The Twelve Ancestral Witches commented back and forth, but Dijiang, who stood at the head, remained silent the entire time.

Even so, he still felt somewhat displeased.

Now that the Mystic Treasure Chart has emerged, the Demon Race is bound to steal the spotlight once again...

Xuanming stepped forward from the side: "Big Brother, no need to worry. When the Hongmeng Purple Gold List later announces the Physical Body Ranking, that should be the time for us brothers and sisters to dominate."

Upon hearing this, Dijiang, the leader, nodded, and his expression finally eased.

Within the vast Heavenly Court, two towering figures of unparalleled grace stood silently, gazing up at the sky.

One was Heavenly Emperor Dijun.

The other was Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

Dijun stared at the enormous Scroll in the sky, divine fire seeming to churn in his eyes: "Worthy brother, this time the Mystic Treasure Chart is precisely when our Demon Race will display its might. With your Innate Treasure Chaos Bell's power, no matter what, it's guaranteed to contend for third and strive for first—truly a cause for celebration."

Eastern Emperor Taiyi also fixed his burning gaze on the sky. He wasn't particularly interested in where his Chaos Bell would rank, but he was extremely intrigued by the Hongmeng Purple Gold List that blotted out the heavens.

Hearing his elder brother's words, he smiled with pride: "Elder Brother, you speak amiss. Your Hetu Luoshu is also an immensely powerful treasure; it will surely rank among the top on that list."

Before the Mystic Treasure Chart had even been officially announced, the entire Primordial World was already stirring with unrest.

Countless living beings were waiting in silence for the moment the list would be revealed.

After all, they too wanted to find out—just where did those legendary treasures rank? And what kind of terrifying power did they truly possess?

After a long while, the Purple-Gold Qi that filled the sky gradually began to seethe.

"Hum..."

The entire Primordial world seemed to tremble at that moment.

Countless trillions of living beings all sensed it at once, and the whole Primordial World fell silent in an instant.

Everyone looked up to watch.

Everyone was waiting for the first treasure to appear.

The first treasure to emerge would be the threshold of this treasure list.

Under the gaze of countless trillions of beings, the list that spanned the entire sky suddenly released a dense golden light.

This golden light manifested directly between heaven and earth, and then a vast phantom of a treasure, immeasurable in size, gradually took shape within the light, finally solidifying into form.

This phantom of a treasure had fully entered the sight of the Primordial World's living beings...
