"Law of Reincarnation?"
"Master, this law is not the Dao I cultivate!"
Golden Cicada was somewhat stunned. Though this reward was exceedingly astonishing, it was not the most suitable for him.
"What do you know?"
"After obtaining the Law of Reincarnation, even if you begin comprehending it now, you will surely gain benefits even more astonishing than before!"
"There is also ten thousand years of cultivation this time. It should be enough for you to break through to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm!"
Jieyin reprimanded Golden Cicada. If he had obtained such a reward back when he was at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage, his current strength would surely not be inferior to Laozi's.
[Grand Unity Golden Immortal Cultivation Battle Power Ranking, Ninth Place: Yuan Hong!] [Sect of Interception disciple!] [Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal!] [Ranking Reward: High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure God-Slaying Cudgel! Demon God Undying Body! Three strands of the Law of Strength!]
"The Law of Strength?"
"Who is Yuan Hong?"
"Never heard of him!"
"Another Saint's Orthodoxy Disciple?"
"If we disregard treasures, could it be that I am not even a match for that fellow?"
"Once this Grand Unity Golden Immortal Cultivation Battle Power Ranking update ends, I shall challenge this man and obtain that Law of Strength!"
"..."
Upon hearing that Yuan Hong had obtained the Law of Strength, the Myriad Races of Hong Huang Experts were all greatly shocked.
The Law of Strength was one of the foremost among the Three Thousand Great Daos. As the saying went, power could break all laws. Back then, Pangu had been a Chaos Demon God born from the Great Dao of Strength.
Especially the many Grand Unity Golden Immortal-level members of the Witch Race, who were already eager to make a move.
Though they did not cultivate the Primordial Spirit, if they obtained the Law of Strength and integrated it into their fleshly bodies, they would surely gain enormous benefits.
"Hahaha!"
"A nominal disciple This Venerable casually took in actually possesses such strength?"
"It seems I should summon him to Kunlun Mountain and properly instruct him!"
At this moment, the corners of Tongtian's lips lifted slightly, and he could not help but laugh aloud.
Yuan Hong had been a white ape he had casually enlightened while traveling through Hong Huang. When he summoned his disciples to expound the Dao this time, he had not even thought of that little fellow.
Who would have thought that he would actually rank on this Grand Unity Golden Immortal Battle Power Ranking?
It seemed necessary to summon him over and properly instruct him.
Within the Three Pure Ones Hall, Yuanshi's gaze narrowed slightly.
"Hmph!"
"Among Third Brother's disciples, there is not a single one worthy of This Venerable's regard!"
"Big Brother, you should also advise Third Brother, lest those furred and horned, wet-born and egg-born creatures bring chaos to Kunlun Mountain in the future!"
Upon hearing that a Sect of Interception disciple had made the rankings, Yuanshi felt a faint dissatisfaction in his heart.
"Fortune and misfortune are all determined by Heaven. Let the third one come to realize it himself this time!"
Laozi shook his head slightly. Though, like Yuanshi, he did not think highly of the Sect of Interception's disciples, he also knew Tongtian's temperament. If they said too much, a rift might arise between the brothers.
[Grand Unity Golden Immortal Cultivation Battle Power Ranking, Eighth Place: True Man Yuding!] [Chan Sect disciple!] [Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal!] [Ranking Reward: High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Demon-Slaying Sword! Grass Sword Art! Ten strands of the Law of Swordsmanship! Ten thousand years of cultivation!]
"Hm?"
"Why do this Chan Sect disciple's rewards seem inferior to those of the Sect of Interception disciple in ninth place?"
"How could they be inferior to Yuan Hong's? Didn't you see the additional ten thousand years of cultivation?"
"Just ten thousand years of cultivation. How can the Law of Swordsmanship compare to the Law of Strength?"
"Of course it can. There are seven more strands this time, so these rewards are naturally better!"
"..."
Upon hearing the rewards for eighth place, the experts of the myriad races could not help discussing them.
Quite a few experts felt that the Law of Swordsmanship could not compare with the Law of Strength.
Naturally, some also believed that these were merely bestowed laws. If one could not refine them or comprehend deeper mysteries, then even a hundred strands would be useless.
Gradually, many Hong Huang Experts went from discussion to argument, and from argument to conflict, faintly on the verge of stirring up a bout of chaos.
Kunlun Mountain, Three Pure Ones Hall!
Yuanshi's brows drew together slightly as his gaze swept over the Chan Sect disciples before finally settling on True Man Yuding.
At this moment, a trace of unease showed on True Man Yuding's face. He seemed dissatisfied with these rewards.
"Yuding, these rewards should be suitable for increasing your battle power!"
"But Master, the Sword Dao Decree cannot compare to the Law of Strength. This disciple does not understand—why is my ranking higher, yet my reward inferior to that of an unaffiliated disciple of the Sect of Interception?"
True Man Yuding hurriedly asked, hoping Yuanshi would clear up his confusion.
"You must not harbor such thoughts. You should know that Ten Strands of Sword Law can rival the Law of Strength. After all, they are merely laws, not the origin of the Dao itself. Even if one obtains them, one may not necessarily master them; even if one masters them, they may not necessarily be suitable!"
Yuanshi's voice rang out calmly. At this point, he was not only watching True Man Yuding, but also observing the other disciples, considering whether there were any more who could make the ranking.
[Grand Unity Golden Immortal Cultivation Battle Power Ranking, Seventh Place: Ksitigarbha!] [Western Teachings disciple!] [Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal!] [Ranking Reward: High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Nine Nether Demon God Staff! High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Soul-Slaying Pearl! Three strands of Earth Dao Origin!]
"Two High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures?"
"What abilities does this Ksitigarbha possess?"
"Exactly—how could he be directly awarded two High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures?"
"Not only that, there is Earth Dao Origin as well. Though the Earth Dao is inferior to the Heaven Dao, it is still terrifying!"
"This Seat must test myself against Ksitigarbha!"
"..."
Upon hearing that two High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures had been awarded outright, the Myriad Races Experts all revealed traces of envy and shock.
Yet their words were also filled with jealousy. Quite a few declared that they would definitely test themselves against Ksitigarbha.
[Grand Unity Golden Immortal Cultivation Battle Power Ranking, Sixth Place: Guang Chengzi!] [Chan Sect disciple!] [Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal!] [Ranking Reward: Thirty strands of Sealing Law! Postcelestial Supreme Treasure Mysterious Yellow Demon-Sealing Seal! Innate Exotic Treasure Enlightenment Stone!]
"An Enlightenment Stone?"
"It is actually such a treasure?"
"I heard that after obtaining this treasure, one can increase their cultivation speed and strengthen their ability to comprehend the Dao!"
"Guang Chengzi? This Seat will remember him!"
"Something is not right—how many Saint's Orthodoxy Disciples has this been already?"
"Could it be that the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Cultivation Battle Power Ranking is going to be completely dominated by disciples of the Saint's orthodoxies?"
"..."
Expressions of shock once again appeared on the faces of the Myriad Races Experts.
The Enlightenment Stone held an enormous allure for them.
Especially those who had encountered bottlenecks in their cultivation—they wished they could immediately fight Guang Chengzi, defeat him, and claim the ranking reward.
At the same time, they were deeply puzzled. Why, after all this time, were the names on the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Cultivation Battle Power Ranking all disciples of Saint's orthodoxies?
"What is going on?"
"I am only in sixth place?"
"That makes no sense!"
"Who else could possibly rank above me?"
Outside the Three Pure Ones Hall on Kunlun Mountain, after Guang Chengzi saw his ranking, he was initially overjoyed, but soon traces of confusion appeared on his face.
Among this same batch of Chan Sect disciples, he was considered the strongest. The dozen or so remaining disciples were naturally inferior to him in strength.
Yet even so, he had only taken sixth place. In other words, there were still five existences ahead of him who were stronger than him.
Naturally, he refused to accept it.
