Primordial: I Was Exposed After Hiding for Eons

But he never expected it to rank only fifty-first, such a low position...

It truly exceeded his imagination.

Just as the uproar among the great powers of heaven and earth reached its peak, a streak of primordial purple qi appeared, and then Great Dao Script manifested in the void:

["Magic Treasure Ranking, fifty-first: Universe Ruler. Rank: Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. The Universe Ruler contains the Primordial Unity Qi of heaven and earth, formed by merging the yin and yang of the world's cosmos, representing the yin and yang of the world! It possesses divine power capable of shaking the Primordial Chaos Land, and can even overturn the yin and yang of the Primordial Chaos Land for a short time. Master: Randeng!"]

The crowd, who had been buzzing with discussion, were all left speechless after reading the Great Dao Script's description of this treasure.

Then they gradually grew animated again.

This legendary treasure, the Universe Ruler, was not weak at all—in fact, it could be called terrifyingly strong.

Possessing divine power to shake the Primordial Chaos Land, and even capable of overturning its yin and yang for a short time.

A treasure like this—would you call it weak?

That would be the greatest joke under heaven.

Yet such a treasure was only ranked fifty-first on the Magic Treasure Ranking?

Wasn't this utterly baffling?

Could the authority of this ranking be in question?

Everyone's faces shifted between gloom and uncertainty, doubt creeping into their hearts.

But after their doubts, they all shook their heads.

This Primordial Violet Gold List had been able to repair the Heavenly Gate, stand against the six saints, and even wound Dao Ancestor Hongjun himself.

The ranking it produced could absolutely not be false.

With that, the matter became clear.

There were still fifty treasures in the Primordial Chaos Land whose power far exceeded the Universe Ruler.

Just as the beings of the Primordial Chaos Land were marveling, an extremely loud voice resounded through heaven and earth.

This voice belonged to Daoist Randeng:

"The Universe Ruler only ranks fifty-first? This poor Daoist does not accept this..."

The voice was thunderously loud.

It could almost be said to echo across the entire Primordial Chaos Land, heard clearly by everyone.

This poor Daoist does not accept...

Does not accept...

Not accept...

Everyone felt a wave of sympathy for Daoist Randeng.

And indeed, it was true.

The Universe Ruler was already so powerful, almost monstrous.

To be able to overturn the yin and yang of the Primordial Chaos Land in a short time—what a terrifying ability that was!

Yet even with such strength, it still ranked only fifty-first...

It truly was worthy of sympathy.

Just then, another immensely loud voice rang through heaven and earth:

"Daoist Randeng, do not be hasty. Let us see how the rest of the ranking unfolds..."

"This Primordial Violet Gold List possesses such might; the authority of the list it produces surely cannot be false..."

The speaker was Zhen Yuanzi, a man who had some acquaintance with Randeng...

His words seemed to comfort Randeng, but his tone carried a strange edge.

Even a strong hint of schadenfreude leaked through.

As soon as these words were spoken, faint traces of mockery could be sensed across heaven and earth.

Daoist Randeng was one of the Innate Beings, himself extremely powerful.

Later, he had attended lectures at the Purple Cloud Palace three times, making him one of the Three Thousand Travelers of the Mortal World.

Even across the entire Primordial Chaos Land, aside from the saints, he was among the most formidable existences.

Yet both of the powerful treasures in his hands ranked low.

One of them, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, was only placed at a hundredth.

The second treasure he had high hopes for, the Universe Ruler, was merely ranked fifty-first.

Faced with such a situation, it was only natural that some would mock him.

Hearing these voices, Daoist Randeng's face darkened instantly.

These people dared to laugh at him?

Truly too detestable.

His lips parted slightly, as if to say something, but in the end, no words came out.

Instead, he stared at the sky with a gloomy gaze.

He wanted to see for himself—what treasures were ranked ahead of him? What gave them the right to be placed before the Universe Ruler?

If the treasure ranked fiftieth was not stronger than the Universe Ruler, then it would be enough to prove this ranking was nothing but a joke.

Just then, the dense Violet Gold Qi in the sky began to seethe once more.

Seeing this commotion, everyone grew excited, their eyes wide, gazes locked tightly on the sky above...

The Violet Gold Qi in the air continued to churn without pause.

All eyes were fixed on the heavens.

"Hurry up and show it—I want to see what treasure is above the Universe Ruler."

"With treasures in the top fifty, they must surely be extremely powerful, right?"

"This humble Daoist is also very curious—after this treasure appears, will it earn Daoist Randeng's admiration?"

Everyone's eyes remained glued to the sky, but that didn't stop them from exchanging words.

The Violet Gold Qi in the sky grew denser and denser.

Then, a fierce golden light flashed in the air.

It eventually transformed into a bamboo pole.

This bamboo pole looked somewhat withered, its appearance unremarkable.

But the moment it appeared, a collective gasp swept across the entire Primordial Wilderness.

No matter how much they calculated, they never expected this treasure to show up.

It was utterly baffling.

Everyone recognized it—this was Saint Zhunti's famed treasure, the Six Roots Pure Bamboo.

Forged from the immensely powerful spiritual root "Bitter Bamboo," it was said to possess tremendous might.

It had always been Saint Zhunti's beloved possession.

Yet it was ranked only fiftieth?

That position was rather awkward.

Not too high, not too low.

But for a saint, it was somewhat low.

At this moment, the two saints on the Great Sumeru Mountain in the West also wore grim expressions.

The bald Daoist Jieyin exclaimed in shock:

"Junior brother... what is this? How could your Six Roots Pure Bamboo only be ranked fiftieth?"

Daoist Jieyin even began to doubt the authority of this ranking.

He knew all too well how powerful his junior brother's Six Roots Pure Bamboo truly was.

For such a mighty treasure to be ranked only fiftieth was utterly incomprehensible.

Daoist Jieyin's mouth hung open, his gaze dazed as he stared at the sky.

At that moment, the endless violet qi in the sky manifested several lines of Great Dao Script:

["Magic Treasure Ranking, Fiftieth: Six Roots Pure Bamboo. Rank: Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. Original form: one of the ten Innate Spiritual Roots, the Bitter Bamboo. Acquired by Daoist Zhunti and refined into a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. It can seal a person's six senses, close their six consciousnesses, and turn them into a Human Swine—difficult even for saints to evade. It can also aid in cultivation. 'When the six roots are pure, that is the Dao; without desire or seeking, emptiness is achieved.' Master: Zhunti!"]

Seeing these words, Daoist Zhunti's expression grew complicated, then a bitter smile crept onto his face.
