The two magic treasures that appeared in the sky were none other than Ancestor Minghe's Yuantu and Abi Swords.
Soon, Great Dao Script appeared in the sky as well.
["Magic Treasure Ranking, 40th place: Yuantu Abi Twin Swords. Yuantu: Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, supreme treasure of slaughter, killing without incurring karma. It is the embodiment of the Way of Slaughter between heaven and earth. The one who wields both Yuantu and Abi is the master of the Way of Slaughter. Their function leans toward slaughter. They are among the most renowned swords in the world. Master: Ancestor Minghe."]
When Great Dao Script appeared in the sky, many people cried out in astonishment.
Many others were puzzled.
Why had the Yuantu and Abi Swords appeared so early?
These two swords had long been famous throughout the Primordial Chaos World.
They were both swords of slaughter.
They perfectly complemented Minghe's Way of Slaughter.
The method Ancestor Minghe claimed would let him attain sainthood was: slaughter heaven, slaughter earth, slaughter all living beings.
These two swords had followed Minghe, and no one knew how many creatures of the Primordial World they had slaughtered.
They had long been stained with countless drops of blood.
What was even more bizarre was that these two divine swords could kill without incurring karma!
That was almost absurdly beyond imagination.
And yet these two long swords ranked only 40th?
Could that be right?
Many people began to doubt the Magic Treasure Ranking.
For the moment, setting aside all the other beings of the Primordial World—
Even Ancestor Minghe himself was somewhat surprised.
"Only 40th place?"
The figure wreathed in towering blood-red aura murmured to himself.
He had expected these two divine swords to rank somewhere in the top ten...
If one were really judging by their destructive power,
his two divine swords absolutely deserved such a ranking.
But now they had placed only 40th...
That was pretty damn ridiculous.
Ancestor Minghe opened his murky eyes and stared fixedly at the sky.
At that moment, he understood how Daoist Randeng felt.
No wonder Daoist Randeng had roared that he refused to accept the result.
Daoist Randeng's Universe Ruler really was quite impressive.
By rights, it should have ranked somewhere around 20th or 30th on the Primordial World Ranking.
In the end, it had placed only 51st.
His two divine swords should have ranked around 10th, or at most somewhere in the teens...
Yet they had ended up in 40th place...
It wasn't that their magic treasures were weak.
Rather, all the magic treasures had been pushed down by around twenty places.
This was about to get interesting.
The beings of the Primordial World chattered among themselves.
Everyone was beginning to doubt the Magic Treasure Ranking.
If a slaughter treasure like the Yuantu Abi Swords didn't rank high, then what kind of treasure would?
Everyone grew even more eager to see the magic treasures that came next.
They all craned their necks, their attention focused entirely on the sky.
Before long, the golden aura filling the heavens began to roil once more.
Was a magic treasure finally about to appear?
Many people stared intently at the sky.
The golden aura churned for a long while before finally forming a magic treasure.
It was something that looked like a whip, yet also like a willow branch.
Then Great Dao Script appeared.
["Magic Treasure Ranking, 39th place: Human Creation Whip. A postcelestial Merit Supreme Treasure! Though its grade is not high, it possesses the supreme merit of creating humankind. It is a Merit Supreme Treasure with power beyond the understanding of ghosts and gods, capable of whipping all things and living beings. Master: Empress Nuwa!"]
The appearance of this magic treasure sent the entire Primordial World into an uproar once more.
Another Sage's magic treasure.
Empress Nuwa's Merit Supreme Treasure from creating humankind had ranked only 39th?
What was going on?
Why was its ranking so low?
By this point, many people understood.
It wasn't that these magic treasures were weak.
Rather, their rankings had all been pushed back by about twenty places...
It was simply too unbelievable.
Even a magic treasure like the Human Creation Whip had ranked so low.
By now,
many people wore solemn expressions.
They stared fixedly at the boundless Primordial Violet Gold List in the sky.
They were determined to see exactly what the higher-ranked magic treasures were.
Many people felt especially nervous.
As a result, time seemed to pass especially quickly.
Before long, another magic treasure appeared in the sky.
This magic treasure was a scroll.
As the scroll slowly unfurled in the sky,
it revealed a mysterious and uncanny Qiankun Diagram with eight trigrams.
Its appearance
sent the entire Primordial World into an uproar once again.
Another Sage Artifact.
Wasn't this Taishang Laozi's Qiankun Diagram?
Starting with the Yuantu and Abi Swords, every one of these magic treasures had been immensely powerful and should have ranked in the top ten!
Why were they appearing now, while the ranking was still in the thirties?
Just then, Great Dao Script appeared in the sky:
["Magic Treasure Ranking, 37th place: Qiankun Diagram. A Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. Within the diagram are the eight trigrams of Qiankun, heaven and earth, earth and heaven: Qian is heaven, Kun is earth; Qian comprehends through change, Kun accomplishes through simplicity. With the diagram in hand, Qiankun is mine. Master: Taishang."]
Many people sucked in a sharp breath.
What was this supposed to mean?
The entire Primordial Chaos World was now in chaos.
All sorts of confused voices rang out.
Everyone found it unbelievable.
Apart from those powerful beings,
even the Sages felt that something was wrong.
Every one of them wore an unpleasant expression.
By rights, Taishang Laozi's Qiankun Diagram should have ranked at least somewhere in the teens. How had it placed only 38th?
It was simply inconceivable.
"Everyone, don't be alarmed. Let's wait and see how the ranking turns out."
This time, the one who spoke was Saint Tongtian, who had always been taciturn.
