As soon as those words were spoken, peals of laughter rang across the entire Primordial Chaos Land.
This was just too funny...
It seemed Daoist Randeng really was rather unfortunate.
His own magic treasure ranked fifty-first, and dissatisfied, he had loudly protested, venting his resentment.
He never would have guessed that every treasure ranked above his belonged to a Sage.
Zhunti's Six Roots Pure Bamboo...
Jieyin's Jieyin Divine Banner...
Tongtian's Green Ping Sword...
And one after another, the Sages had spoken up... asking whether he was satisfied or not.
Clearly, the Sages had all taken out their pent-up frustration on Randeng.
Poor Randeng had become the Sages' punching bag just like that...
Hearing Tongtian's words, Daoist Randeng nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
His face darkened completely.
His chest heaved violently, and the hatred in his eyes was almost tangible.
"Damn Zhunti..."
After all, Zhunti had been the first to mock him.
Naturally, Randeng's hatred for him was the deepest.
Just as the beings of the Primordial World were laughing uproariously,
Primeval Lord of Heaven in Jade Void Palace and Taishang Laozi in Doushuai Palace both looked rather displeased.
Sect Master Tongtian's Green Ping Sword had only ranked forty-eighth, which naturally left them feeling disgruntled.
The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi and Coiling Dragon Staff in their hands had the same origins as Sect Master Tongtian's Green Ping Sword.
Their power could be said to be evenly matched.
With the Green Ping Sword ranked so low, their own treasures couldn't possibly rank much higher.
Naturally, this left them displeased.
The ranking was far from what they had expected.
Sure enough, ranked forty-seventh was Taishang Laozi's Coiling Dragon Staff.
["Magic Treasure Ranking, forty-seventh place: Coiled Dragon Crutch. A top-grade Innate Merit Spiritual Treasure, transformed from a petal of the Thirty-six-grade Creation Green Lotus. It possesses an extremely powerful killing intent; this is a staff of slaughter, capable of cleaving all things, killing without incurring karmic repercussions. Master: Taishang!"]
It was just as Taishang Laozi had expected.
Since the Green Ping Sword had appeared, his Coiling Dragon Staff and Primeval Lord of Heaven's Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, being closely related in origin, would naturally rank at about the same level.
The next one would presumably be Primeval Lord of Heaven's Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.
The white-haired Taishang couldn't help pursing his lips, then shook his head.
Originally, according to his expectations,
the three treasures belonging to the three brothers had all been transformed from the Thirty-six-grade Creation Green Lotus and were further blessed with merit.
They should have ranked around twentieth at the very least, and might even have made the top twenty.
Instead, they had all landed around forty-seventh or forty-eighth, barely edging out Daoist Randeng's Universe Ruler.
He really couldn't be satisfied with rankings like these.
A faint smile flashed in the eyes of the slightly mischievous Taishang Laozi.
"Randeng, what do you think?"
Though brief, his words also rang across the Primordial World.
This time, the beings of the Primordial World didn't burst out laughing.
But they did chuckle softly.
Wasn't Daoist Randeng just too miserable?
Had he really become the Sages' punching bag?
First Daoist Zhunti, then Daoist Jieyin, then Tongtian, and now Taishang Laozi...
Every Sage had treated Randeng as a punching bag.
How could that not be miserable?
Hearing those words, Daoist Randeng's body began to tremble violently.
These Sages of the world were simply going too far.
Did they really all think of him, Randeng, as an easy target?
But in the end, he took a deep breath and forced down his boundless fury.
After all, his opponent was Taishang Laozi.
The eldest of the Three Pure Ones.
And the leader of the Daoist sect.
Among the Sages, his cultivation was probably the highest as well.
He was certainly no one Randeng could contend with.
So he had to swallow this insult.
Whether he liked it or not.
After Taishang Laozi's Coiling Dragon Staff disappeared,
the Violet Gold Qi in the sky seethed once more.
The next magic treasure soon appeared in the air.
It was an exceptionally beautiful Jade Ruyi.
Its head was shaped like an Auspicious Cloud, with three Unbounded Treasures set into it.
On its handle were nine golden dragons, each rising or descending in a different pose, none alike. Each dragon possessed its own distinctive spirit. Their meaning: the eight directions and six realms, with none but me supreme.
Its tail was shaped like a lingzhi mushroom and bore five patterns of good fortune. Though each pattern differed in form, their essence was the same. Their meaning: eternal immortal blessings and a Sage's boundless longevity.
Everyone marveled at the sight of such a beautiful magic treasure.
Soon, the purple aura manifested Great Dao Script in the air.
["Magic Treasure Ranking, forty-sixth place: Three Treasures Jade Ruyi. A top-grade Innate Merit Spiritual Treasure, transformed from a root of the Thirty-six-grade Creation Green Lotus. It possesses an extremely powerful killing intent; this is a jade treasure of slaughter, capable of cleaving all things, killing without incurring karmic repercussions. Master: Primeval!"]
Seeing that his own Three Treasures Jade Ruyi had only ranked forty-sixth, Primeval Lord of Heaven felt a surge of frustration.
A flash of light glinted in his eyes, and he spoke up as well.
"Daoist Randeng, My Three Treasures Jade Ruyi ranks above your Universe Ruler. Do you have any objections?"
As soon as Primeval Lord of Heaven said this, peals of laughter once again filled the skies above the Primordial World.
Far away, Daoist Randeng's face darkened. Finally unable to bear it any longer, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He was the dignified Innate Being Daoist Randeng, a Quasi-Saint expert, yet now he had become an object of ridicule to everyone?
Blood trickled from the corner of Daoist Randeng's mouth, and a frenzied look filled his eyes. Since these so-called Sages had shown him no respect, he had no reason to hold back anymore.
At worst, he would flee for the rest of his life. If he truly put his mind to escaping, even a Sage would have a hard time dealing with him.
Besides, the Sages had many disciples.
If they refused to show him any respect, he would kill their disciples—one for one, two for two.
With that thought, Daoist Randeng decided to burn his bridges and cursed aloud.
"Go to hell, you damn Primeval! You good-for-nothing who can't rise to the top or sink to the bottom! How much better are you than me?"
Daoist Randeng had been bottling up his frustration for a long time. How could he care about his image now?
He simply cursed them to their faces.
His long-simmering rage made his voice thunderously loud.
That enormous voice spread across the entire sky.
Countless beings in the Primordial World heard every word clearly.
His voice rumbled through the air like thunder for a long time.
The beings of the Primordial World were utterly stunned.
Daoist Randeng really had guts!
The Sage had only made a few mocking remarks, and Daoist Randeng had cursed him outright.
"Gasp..."
