Daoist Randeng had become the target of ridicule throughout the Primordial World.
A moment later, the next magic treasure was revealed.
As soon as this treasure appeared,
the entire Primordial World erupted once more.
Could it be another Saint Artifact?
What in the world was going on?
The Ranking List had only just passed the halfway point,
yet Saint Artifacts were appearing one after another?
When had Saint Artifacts become so common?
After everyone cried out in alarm, their breathing grew heavy once again.
The sounds of gasping and panting echoed endlessly across the Primordial World.
It was rather awkward.
The source of the awkwardness was the magic treasure now manifested in the sky.
["Forty-ninth on the Magic Treasure Ranking: Jieyin Divine Banner. A Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure and a supreme Buddhist treasure. It contains the sound of the Great Dao, and its voice rings like thunder. It naturally suppresses the power of the primordial spirit; all who possess a primordial spirit are affected. Master: Saint Jieyin."]
Everyone who saw this felt almost at a loss for words.
After Saint Zhunti's Six Roots Pure Bamboo had made the list,
Saint Jieyin's Jieyin Divine Banner had followed suit.
Now two Saint Artifacts had already made the list...
It was simply beyond imagination.
Such a formidable treasure had only ranked forty-ninth on the list.
At the Eight Treasures Merit Pool on Great Sumeru Mountain in the Western Land,
Saint Zhunti looked at Saint Jieyin's bitter expression and sighed faintly.
"Senior Brother, our Western Land has always been impoverished, and we have few magic treasures to our names."
"Now my Six Roots Pure Bamboo and your Jieyin Divine Banner have both ranked low. It seems the West will go no further on the Magic Treasure Ranking..."
Hearing this, Saint Jieyin's expression grew even more sorrowful.
Still, he spoke up to console him.
"Junior Brother, do not be too sorrowful. You still have the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and the Blessing Divine Pestle. Both treasures possess boundless power, so they will surely make the list..."
Hearing this, Saint Zhunti nodded, though he still seemed troubled.
Saint Jieyin was also in low spirits, but his gaze shifted slightly, and he chanted a Buddhist invocation.
"Amitabha. Daoist Randeng, my Jieyin Divine Banner ranked ahead of your Universe Ruler. Are you satisfied?"
As soon as he said this, the entire Primordial World fell silent once more.
No one had imagined that Saint Jieyin, who was always compassionate, would say something like that.
Wasn't he rubbing salt in Daoist Randeng's wound?
Daoist Zhunti had just mocked Daoist Randeng.
Now Daoist Jieyin was following right after him.
These two Western Sages were simply a pair of eccentrics...
No one knew whether Daoist Randeng could bear being teased by the two Sages.
At that moment, far away in a secluded place, Daoist Randeng's face had turned completely liver-colored.
He glared toward the West, his eyes practically spitting fire.
"These two despicable men have gone too far..."
Daoist Randeng's face was flushed dark red, and his heart seethed with resentment, but all he could do was mutter to himself.
After all, his opponents were Sages.
As a mere Quasi-Saint, he was no match for them, so he could only swallow his anger.
Soon, the imposing Jieyin Divine Banner vanished from the sky.
The violet-gold qi began to churn once more.
The next magic treasure gradually took shape in the air.
It was a long sword.
This left everyone somewhat perplexed.
There were simply too many sword treasures in the Primordial World.
Many obscure yet exceptionally powerful sword treasures existed.
It was understandable not to recognize this one.
But the truly mighty figures were stirred.
They recognized whose treasure it was.
In the sky hung an ancient sword, dark and gloomy, with an ominous air.
Its blade was covered in diamond-shaped patterns, shaped like green lotus flowers, and bore the mysterious seal-script characters "Green Ping."
The blade was not straight. Its spine formed a distinct ridge, and its widest point lay about half a foot from the hilt.
From there, it curved inward, then bulged outward again near the tip before curving inward to form a sharp point. A hazy green light enveloped the whole sword, making it feel as cold as ice and sharp enough to slice through a strand of hair.
But the golden light flashing across it was so dazzling
that those with weaker cultivation could not see it clearly.
The crowd's discussion gradually grew louder.
Yet no one could figure out what kind of treasure it was.
When the purple qi in the sky revealed the characters of the Great Dao, the people of the Primordial World sucked in another breath.
What in the world was this?
Could it be another Saint Artifact?
When had Saint Artifacts become so common?
There were already three appearing one after another?
This was simply too incredible, wasn't it?
Many people looked at one another, unable to put their astonishment into words.
A mighty figure spoke slowly.
"Perhaps most of the treasures that appear from here on will be Saint Artifacts. After all, the famous treasures of the Primordial World have mostly appeared already. Now it's probably time for the Sages to show what they have..."
At this, everyone nodded in agreement.
That was certainly true.
The famous treasures of the Primordial World that belonged on the list had already appeared.
Perhaps now it was time for the Sages to show what they had.
Everyone looked up at the sky.
The sword's image remained.
So did the characters of the Great Dao.
["Forty-eighth on the Magic Treasure Ranking: Green Ping Sword. A Top-grade Innate Merit Spiritual Treasure, formed from a leaf of the Thirty-six-grade Creation Green Lotus. It possesses an extremely powerful killing intent and is a sword of slaughter. It can cut down all things, and killing with it incurs no karma. Master: Tongtian!"]
Saint Tongtian of Biyou Palace on Golden Turtle Island's eyes shifted slightly.
When other people's treasures ranked poorly, he had teased them quite a bit.
Now, all of a sudden, it was his turn...
It really did not feel very good...
There was no need to say much about his Green Ping Sword.
Its reputation alone shook the entire Primordial World.
It had been formed from a leaf of the Thirty-six-grade Creation Green Lotus.
It possessed boundless merit in its own right.
How could such a powerful treasure have ranked only forty-eighth?
It truly seemed bizarre.
After taking a sip of fine wine, Sect Master Tongtian, who had always loved watching the drama unfold, spoke up as well.
"Daoist Randeng, my Green Ping Sword ranked ahead of your Universe Ruler. Are you satisfied?"
