"Even the Dao Ancestor dared to punish him!"
"Was this a ranking created by the Heavenly Dao?"
"Shh, do not speak carelessly. This was very likely created by an existence even more terrifying than the Dao Ancestor. Did you not see that even the Dao Ancestor's strike was blasted apart?"
"This... was too terrifying. We were utterly incomparable!"
"..."
Hongjun's palm strike had been shattered, and he had even been punished. All the Myriad Races Experts of Hong Huang sensed it.
Especially the Six Saints of Hong Huang and those who had once listened to teachings in Zixiao Palace. They had believed Dao Ancestor Hongjun's strength was already enough to intimidate any expert in Hong Huang.
But now, it seemed there was another powerful existence they had never even heard of. Unfortunately, no matter how they tried, they could not deduce who it was.
For a time, all kinds of speculation spread.
The Dragon Clan claimed that Ancestral Dragon had most likely revived and directly reached a realm beyond Saints. The Dragon Clan was about to rise again.
The Witch Race claimed that Father Pangu had not died, and that the mysterious existence who had just shattered the Dao Ancestor's strike was their Father God.
The hidden demon clan also emerged, claiming that it had to be Demon Ancestor Luohu. He had not died in the struggle between Dao and demons back then, but had merely fled into Chaos, grown even stronger, and only then returned.
Inside Zixiao Palace!
Hongjun naturally sensed the countless speculations, but he dismissed them all one by one. This person must be someone who had never appeared before; otherwise, how could he possibly not know?
It seemed necessary to gather the Six Saints of Hong Huang at Zixiao Palace and discuss how to deal with this so-called Supreme Hongmeng Ranking.
However, before he could issue his decree, terrifying Dao essence had already begun to emerge from the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking.
[The first ranking of the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking, the Hong Huang Treasure Ranking, begins updating!] [All types of treasures in Hong Huang will be assessed according to their power. Those who enter the top ninety-nine will have their holders rewarded!] [Hong Huang Treasure Ranking, ninety-ninth place: Demon Binding Rope!] [Low Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!] [Holder: Saint Nuwa!] [Ranking reward: A strand of Xuanhuang Merit!]
"It has begun!"
"Look!"
"Divine Marks have appeared on the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking. It is Saint Nuwa's treasure!"
"Quick, look! Ninety-ninth place actually received a strand of Xuanhuang Merit as a reward. Was that not too astonishing?"
It seemed that getting one's own treasure onto the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking would not be easy. After all, even the Three Lives Stone was only ranked ninety-ninth.
Inside Wa Huang Palace, Nuwa's brows furrowed slightly. This treasure of hers had some power, but she had barely ever used it. How did the other party know about it?
And were these so-called rewards real or fake? It could actually reward Xuanhuang Merit—how was that possible?
[Hong Huang Treasure Ranking, ninety-eighth place: Xing Tian Axe!] [Supreme Grade Postcelestial Spiritual Treasure!] [Holder: Great Witch Xing Tian!] [Ranking reward: Cultivation art, War Heaven Art!]
Heavenly Court, Demon Emperor Palace!
Taiyi, seated high within the main hall, could not help but snort coldly. "He is merely a Great Witch of the Witch Race. What right did he have to make the ranking?"
"Exactly!"
"The petty Witch Race does not cultivate primordial spirits. Their treasures are nothing more than weapons. What qualifications did they have?"
Di Jun also snorted coldly, his face full of displeasure. Yet he did not dare rashly go out and question the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking's order, so he could only endure it.
Seeing this, Xihe, seated beside Di Jun, smiled. "husband, uncle, do not mind it. Our demon clan possesses countless treasures and will surely surpass the Witch Race!"
Within the Witch Race, Xing Tian burst into laughter. Though he did not cultivate a primordial spirit, he could tell from its name alone that this rewarded cultivation art was suitable for strengthening the physical body.
[Hong Huang Treasure Ranking, ninety-seventh place: Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover!] [Low Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!] [Holder: Chan Sect disciple, Taiyi Zhenren!] [Ranking reward: A strand of Ziwei Heavenly Fire!]
"Hmm?"
"What kind of treasures were these? Could it be that all treasures ranked within the top ninety-nine in Hong Huang were such trash?"
"Exactly. Was there something wrong with this ranking?"
"It was clearly ranked at random. Was This Seat's treasure not better than that Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover and Xing Tian Axe?"
"Exactly..."
Upon hearing of several postcelestial spiritual treasures, the Myriad Races Experts of Hong Huang were fine with it, but those Saint's Orthodoxy Disciples and great powers from every side all revealed dissatisfaction.
In their view, these were all treasures of average power. What was there to see?
[Hong Huang Treasure Ranking, ninetieth place: Dragon Binding Rope!] [Medium Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!] [Holder: Sect of Interception disciple, Bixiao!] [Ranking reward: Treasure upgraded by one grade!] [Hong Huang Treasure Ranking, eightieth place: Taiqing Talisman Seal!] [Medium Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!] [Holder: Saint Laozi!] [Ranking reward: A strand of Sealing Law!] [Hong Huang Treasure Ranking, seventieth place: Seven Arrows Book of the Nail Head!] [Postcelestial Supreme Treasure!] [Holder: Di Jun's son, Lu Ya!] [Ranking reward: A strand of Void Flame!]
Seeing these rewards, many experts were shocked, yet they felt they were somewhat illusory.
It rewarded Space Law—was that not clearly impossible?
Were laws not meant to be comprehended?
More and more people began to harbor traces of doubt.
However, when the ranking updated to sixtieth place, the Myriad Races Experts were stunned again.
[Hong Huang Treasure Ranking, sixtieth place: Five-Colored Divine Light!] [Postcelestial Supreme Treasure!] [Holder: Son of Yuan Feng, Kong Xuan!] [Ranking reward: A strand of Innate Five Elements Origin!]
"Origin?"
"Five Elements Origin?"
"How was that possible? What exactly was going on?"
This reward was actually Five Elements Origin. That was even more astonishing than rewarding laws or Xuanhuang Merit.
"Yuan Feng's son?"
"Yuan Feng actually had descendants left in Hong Huang?"
"..."
Even those peak Quasi-Saints could not help but tremble inwardly upon seeing this reward.
They wanted to know where Kong Xuan was. Could they kill him and seize his treasure?
Especially the Four Seas Dragon Clan, former overlords of the ancient era who had now declined, and the Qilin Clan hidden atop Buzhou Mountain.
Although they too were remnants, they at least still had some clan members. Not all of them had been captured by powerful experts to serve as pack beasts and mounts, or fallen.
There had been no news of the Phoenix Clan for a long time. Yet when news finally appeared, it was of a Phoenix Clan Crown Prince who possessed a Postcelestial Supreme Treasure and could even obtain Five Elements Origin.
Wa Huang Palace!
Caiyi Boy Servant beside Nuwa wore a worried expression and knelt directly before her. "Our clan's Crown Prince has actually entered the world. I beg Your Highness to protect him!"
Nuwa nodded slightly. "This Palace has already deduced his location, but this child has another opportunity awaiting him. There is no need for This Palace to act!"
Just as Nuwa had expected, Tongtian atop Kunlun Mountain had already stepped out of Three Pure Ones Hall with a smile.
"This child bears the Phoenix Clan's fate. He can enter This Venerable's sect as a registered disciple!"
With a burst of laughter, his figure vanished from the spot and sped toward the great marshes of southern Hong Huang.
At the same time, people from the Dragon Clan, Qilin Clan, demon clan, and even the Witch Race all headed toward the great marshes of southern Hong Huang.
Whether the ranking's rewards were real or fake, they would first seize the so-called Five-Colored Divine Light. Then, once the reward was distributed, it would surely be theirs.
