The one who had rushed off was Saint Tongtian, whose temper was notoriously short.
Taishang and Primeval Lord of Heaven exchanged a glance, looking somewhat helpless. Then they, too, turned and strode away.
In moments, those incomparably imposing figures had vanished without a trace.
Sage Nuwa, whose graceful beauty surpassed all of the Primordial World, pondered for a moment, then greeted the Two Sages of the West before disappearing into the horizon.
The Two Sages of the West exchanged a glance, seemingly unwilling to give up.
But they knew there was nothing to be done. They turned westward and crossed the skies.
Though the mighty figures of the Sages had disappeared, the other creatures of the Primordial World remained in a state of uproar...
The Primordial World had now transformed and ascended, and everyone's strength had made great strides. Perhaps a new opportunity to become a Sage was right before them... How could they not be thrilled?
Countless creatures of the Primordial World wore feverish expressions as they gazed intently up at the new firmament.
Just then, the vast and boundless will of the Great Dao descended upon the Primordial World.
In the unseen depths, countless creatures of the Primordial World sensed its arrival.
On the Primordial Violet Gold List, which stretched across the entire void, the Violet Gold Qi began to surge.
Then, on the enormous scroll, the endless Great Dao began to unfold.
One after another, Great Dao totems appeared upon the scroll.
As the totems manifested in turn, Great Dao Script appeared across the firmament.
Every creature in the Primordial World recognized it clearly.
The words in the sky plainly read: <Primordial Violet Gold List: Magic Treasure Chapter>!
These words radiated endless Violet Gold Qi across the firmament, dazzling with indescribable strangeness and splendor.
Besides <Primordial Violet Gold List: Magic Treasure Chapter>, many other Great Dao Script characters appeared on the enormous scroll, though they were somewhat dim:
<Primordial Violet Gold List: Spiritual Root Chapter> Primordial Violet Gold List: Luck Chapter <Primordial Violet Gold List: Immortal Appearance Chapter> Primordial Violet Gold List: Strength Chapter...
But those words were somewhat dim at the moment.
The first category to be revealed was the Magic Treasure Chapter...
At the sight of these words, countless creatures in the Primordial World erupted in excitement.
They all understood at once.
The Primordial Violet Gold List was an omniscient and omnipotent supreme treasure.
It knew everything about the Primordial World, and nothing escaped its notice.
It understood every secret of the Primordial World and saw through every hidden truth.
From this day forward, the vast, sky-shrouding Primordial Violet Gold List would rank and reveal everything in the Primordial World.
In other words, the Primordial Violet Gold List was going to rank every magic treasure in the Primordial Heaven and Earth.
At this, every creature in the Primordial World grew excited.
Who among the many great powers of the Primordial World was truly stronger or weaker? Who was the real deal, and who was all talk?
It was time to put them to the test...
In an instant, everyone gazed fervently at the firmament...
The sky-shrouding Primordial Violet Gold List still shimmered with purple light. The Magic Treasure Ranking had yet to be officially revealed, but the great powers of the Primordial World were already discussing it animatedly.
Great Dao voices rang out across the Primordial World:
"I wonder if this Primordial Violet Gold List is accurate. Surely all those legendary magic treasures will be listed one by one?"
"If we're talking about magic treasures, the Innate Supreme Treasures of the Three Pure Ones are probably the most powerful: Pangu Banner, Taiji Diagram, and Immortal Slaying Four Swords."
"Just now, when the heavens collapsed and the earth fell apart, those three Innate Supreme Treasures of the Three Pure Ones each displayed their might and protected the people of the Primordial World. They're sure to take the top spots!"
"That's not necessarily true. I think the most powerful treasure is the Chaos Bell in the hands of His Majesty Eastern Emperor Taiyi. As long as it's held above one's head, one is invincible from birth. It's also an Innate Supreme Treasure, so it'll probably rank first!"
"Have you forgotten Demon Ancestor Luohu? He once contended with Dao Ancestor Hongjun. Though Luohu died, the God-Slaying Demonic Spear he carried is still in the Primordial World. If we're talking about the top spot, it should go to the God-Eating Spear. It's an unparalleled weapon of slaughter, after all!"
"Hmph, you're all so ignorant. Have you forgotten Dao Ancestor Hongjun? He possesses the Jade Plate of Creation, a Chaos Supreme Treasure and the source of the myriad Daos! It's on the same level as Pangu's Sky-Opening Axe. Though it's broken and incomplete, most of the Jade Disc is in the Dao Ancestor's hands. If we're talking about the top spot, it has to go to the Jade Plate of Creation..."
"The Jade Plate of Creation is indeed powerful, but it's broken and incomplete... If it really ranked first, I'm afraid plenty of people would refuse to accept it..."
The Primordial World's Magic Treasure Ranking was about to be revealed.
At this moment, many great powers were discussing it animatedly.
The list had yet to be announced, but it had already piqued their curiosity.
After all, this was the biggest gossip in the entire Primordial World.
The legendary great powers and their legendary treasures would all appear on the list.
At last, their greatest curiosity would be satisfied.
It might even spark disputes between them.
After all, these great powers all had their own abilities. Their various Great Dao voices filled the skies of the Primordial World as they championed the mighty figures they admired.
Some even refused to back down and had already started fighting.
Saint Tongtian had returned to Golden Ao Island, to Biyou Palace. Seated in midair, he stared intently at the Primordial Violet Gold List above.
Four immortal swords floated around him.
"A Magic Treasure Ranking? I have countless treasures in my hands. Whether it's the Six Souls Banner, the Heart Slaying Lock, or the Purple Gold Hammer, each is renowned throughout the Primordial World! And that's not to mention the unparalleled slaughtering power of the Immortal Slaying Four Swords. The top spot will surely belong to me, Tongtian!"
Sect Master Tongtian was brimming with confidence. He possessed the Immortal Slaying Four Swords, whose slaughtering power was unparalleled and which could only be broken by four Sages. Such a treasure was sure to rank first.
In Jade Void Palace, Primeval Lord of Heaven, his hair disheveled, was also staring intently at the Primordial Violet Gold List above.
Listening to the others' discussions, he showed disdain.
"They're nothing but creatures born of wetness and eggs, yet they dare to spout such nonsense?"
Primeval Lord of Heaven had always been arrogant and looked down on those ants.
He possessed the Pangu Banner, formed from the blade of the Sky-Opening Axe. Though the Immortal Slaying Four Swords were famed for their unrivaled killing power, his Pangu Banner was no less powerful in terms of attack.
And since his Pangu Banner could suppress fate, he absolutely refused to believe it would rank below the Immortal Slaying Four Swords.
In Doushuai Palace, high above the nine heavens, Taishang Laozi sat cross-legged on a strange cushion, looking down upon the creatures of the Primordial World.
As he looked up at the Primordial Violet Gold List in the depths of the firmament, his eyes suddenly opened, revealing an odd expression.
"Since the creatures of the Primordial World are so curious, then let them have a good look..."
His gaze seemed to hold a hint of contempt, along with something else.
Among the Sages, Taishang Laozi had the deepest reserves.
Whether it was the Innate Supreme Treasure Taiji Diagram or the Merit Supreme Treasure Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, each was unimaginably powerful.
If the magic treasures were ranked, then apart from his teacher's Jade Plate of Creation, he would accept no one else's treasure above his own.
At the Witch Race's sacred ground, in the Ancestral Witch Hall at the very center of the Primordial World,
twelve sky-shrouding figures stood in silence.
Every one of them looked up at the firmament, the atmosphere somewhat subdued.
The Witch Race's souls were incomplete, so they were not adept at using magic treasures. Their strength lay in their physical bodies.
Now that the Primordial Violet Gold List had revealed the Magic Treasure Ranking first, it clearly had nothing to do with the Witch Race.
One irritable Ancestral Witch spoke up:
"Magic treasures are nothing but unorthodox tricks. There's no need to pay them any mind."
Another Ancestral Witch nodded in agreement:
"Exactly, there's no need to care. We of the Witch Race stand between Heaven and Earth, and our strength lies in our physical bodies. We can face off against the Demon Race with nothing but our bodies. Magic treasures are external things, after all. Those who rely on them are nothing but ants..."
The Twelve Ancestral Witches traded opinions, but their leader, Di Jiang, remained silent throughout.
Even so, he still felt somewhat displeased.
Now that the Magic Treasure Ranking had appeared, the Demon Race would surely steal the limelight again...
Xuanming stepped forward.
"Big Brother, there's no need to worry. When the Primordial Violet Gold List reveals the Physical Body Ranking, that will surely be the time for us siblings to dominate."
Hearing this, Di Jiang nodded, and his expression finally improved.
