At last, the Five Elements Banners of the east, south, west, north, and center revealed themselves in the sky.
They fluttered and snapped in the wind.
What a magnificent sight.
Countless Primordial Great Powers gazed enviously at the banners in the sky...
A moment later, Great Dao Script appeared again.
["Twenty-sixth on the Magic Treasure Ranking: Innate Five Elements Banners. Each banner is a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. When all five banners are gathered, they can form the Innate Five Elements Great Formation, with its five formations rotating in turn. The five formations are: Eastern Azure Wood Formation, Northern Dark Water Formation, Western Geng Metal Formation, Southern Flame Fire Formation, and Central Profound Earth Formation."]
"So the Five Elements Banners can form the Innate Five Elements Great Formation when gathered..."
"That's the first time I've heard of that..."
"Though it's unlikely anyone could gather all five, once they're brought together, they'll form another formation capable of killing a Sage... They really can't be underestimated..."
"I never would've thought the Pure Lotus Treasure Color Banner would be in Daoist Jieyin's hands... The Eastern banner, of all things, ended up with a Western Sage... What irony..."
"Why bring that up? Didn't the Northern Profound Yuan Water Control Banner also end up in Minghe's hands?"
"Do you think they'll ever manage to gather the Seven-Colored Gourd, the Six Spirit Divine Lamp, and the Innate Five Elements Banners?"
"I don't think the chances are very high."
Everyone looked up at the heavens, talking among themselves.
"Do you think the next magic treasure on the ranking will also be a group of several treasures?"
"Who knows? In any case, this Primordial Violet Gold List is incredible. Everyone has to admit that its rankings are spot-on..."
Hearing this, countless people nodded in agreement.
It was exactly as they said...
The way the Magic Treasure List ranked the treasures...
There wasn't a single mistake.
Who could possibly disagree?
Just then, four golden beams of light shot down from the sky.
The moment they appeared, everyone was stirred once again.
"Just as I thought... Another four magic treasures appearing together?"
"First the Seven-Colored Gourd, then the Six Spirit Lamps, and just now the Innate Five Elements Banners. Now there are four beams of light again? What kind of magic treasures are these?"
"I hadn't noticed before, but now that you mention it, that really is the case..."
"Could all the top-ranked magic treasures be sets?"
Everyone grew excited.
The four golden beams of light in the sky began to take shape.
Four treasures that blotted out the sun finally appeared.
"Are those... lotus flowers?"
"No, they're not lotus flowers. They're four lotus platforms!"
"They're Supreme Lotus Platforms..."
Everyone gazed at the void, their eyes gradually burning with excitement.
At last, Great Dao Script began to appear.
The Great Dao Script on the far left read:
["Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus. A Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure formed from an immature seed of the Creation Pure Lotus. It possesses Merit Golden Flames and boundless Power of Merit. Once seated upon the lotus platform, its owner will remain undefeated as long as its merit endures. Master: Jieyin!"]
"Boom..."
The entire Primordial World finally erupted.
The atmosphere gradually reached its climax.
The Twelve-Grade Merit Lotus Platform was actually in Daoist Jieyin's hands.
This Western Sage truly had some impressive methods...
So many treasures from the Eastern Lands had fallen into this Sage's possession!
Just thinking about it was enough to make people furious.
In the Heavenly Court, the two imposing figures grew even more displeased when they saw the golden lotus platform.
"Elder Brother, those two Western Sages really are no good. They've managed to get both the Eastern Azure Lotus Treasure Color Banner and the Twelve-Grade Merit Lotus Platform. It's infuriating..."
Heavenly Emperor Di Jun's expression was also rather grim.
He was the Heavenly Emperor of the demon race.
His status was incomparably exalted, yet only two of his magic treasures had made the list.
He couldn't help but be furious when so many fine treasures had fallen into the hands of the Western Land.
Sect Master Tongtian of Biyou Palace on Golden Ao Island was also rather annoyed.
The Magic Treasure Ranking had reached this point.
Only three of Saint Tongtian's magic treasures had made the list.
What had Jieyin of the Western Land done to deserve it?
He already had four magic treasures on the list!
How could that not infuriate him?
Sect Master Tongtian, who had always been a forceful and murderous man, now felt murderous intent toward Daoist Jieyin.
Primeval Lord of Heaven in Jade Void Palace was just as displeased.
He didn't even have a treasure like the Twelve-Grade Lotus Platform.
What merit did Jieyin of the Western Land possess?
How had he come to own the Twelve-Grade Merit Lotus Platform?
Primeval Lord of Heaven, who had always been incomparably arrogant, turned his gaze toward the Western Land.
His eyes filled with solemnity.
It seemed he could no longer underestimate the Western Land.
Those two fellows from the West had already reached into the Eastern Lands.
If they kept at it, who knew how powerful they'd become while quietly building up their strength...
On Mount Sumeru, Daoist Zhunti of the Western Teachings saw Jieyin's name appear once more and immediately brightened.
"Elder Brother, your lotus platform made the list too. That means you have four magic treasures on it now... Congratulations!"
The bald Saint Jieyin gave a slight nod.
"I never expected to climb the rankings like this. It's an unexpected delight... At least I haven't disgraced myself too badly..."
He paused for a moment, then continued:
"But now, almost all of my hidden strength has been exposed... I wonder whether this is a blessing or a curse..."
As he spoke, his expression changed, and he once again looked sorrowful.
Seeing Saint Jieyin's change of expression, Saint Zhunti couldn't help glancing sideways at him.
At the same time, he grumbled inwardly.
You should be satisfied...
I've only got three magic treasures on the list so far... I've already earned the title of weakest Sage...
His gaze turned slightly cold. Clearly, he wasn't pleased.
Just then, Great Dao Script appeared in the sky once more.
When the beings of the Primordial World saw the words in the heavens, they all turned pale.
Every Great Power's expression became extremely grim.
Some even fell straight to the ground.
Every Great Power wore an expression of utter horror.
"How can this be? Why has that guy's name appeared again?"
"Didn't that guy die?"
"Could it be that guy... isn't dead after all? Is he still alive?"
