Primordial: I Was Exposed After Hiding for Eons

"Elder Brother Jieyin, this Primordial Violet Gold List possesses such power that it can even mend the boundless sky—it surely cannot be wrong."

With that, he paused briefly before continuing:

"It seems this vast Primordial Chaos Land holds many things we have yet to understand. The West's desire to flourish still has a long and arduous road ahead..."

He shook his head with a bitter smile.

Daoist Jieyin, standing beside Daoist Zhunti, nodded in deep agreement.

His expression also turned somewhat solemn.

Even his junior brother's Six Roots Pure Bamboo, with its overwhelming might, had only ranked fiftieth.

It appeared the Primordial Chaos Land truly concealed many secrets...

Only then did the crowd of the Primordial Chaos Land snap back to reality.

And then, as if a pot had boiled over, they erupted into fervent discussion.

A saint's divine artifact had made the list... and it was only ranked fiftieth?

"Really? A divine artifact this powerful only ranks fiftieth? That's too unbelievable, isn't it?"

"If the fiftieth-ranked artifact is this strong, then how powerful must the ones ahead be? Truly something to look forward to..."

"Indeed, the more you think about it, the more terrifying it gets. Even a saint's formidable artifact only ranks fiftieth—it seems the Primordial Chaos Land still hides many opportunities... Today has truly been an eye-opener..."

In the boundless Heavenly Court, two peerless Great Emperors sat gazing down upon heaven and earth.

One was the Supreme of Ten Thousand Demons, Di Jun.

The other was the matchless Eastern Emperor, Tai Yi.

Tai Yi let out a disdainful laugh:

"That bastard Zhunti's Six Roots Pure Bamboo? I didn't expect it to only rank fiftieth? Seems it's nothing special after all."

The Supreme of Ten Thousand Demons, Di Jun, nodded in agreement:

"Ever since the West had its fate refined away by the Demon Ancestor Rahu, it has become barren and impoverished. For those two saints to have even a few artifacts barely worth mentioning, it's already good that one of their treasures made the list!"

Hearing his elder brother's words, Tai Yi nodded, expressing his full agreement.

Yet the mockery in his eyes grew even more pronounced.

Di Jun continued:

"Though the West is barren, those two saints should not be underestimated. Neither of us has yet found the path to sainthood—we must not be careless."

Tai Yi nodded, then glanced at the Chaos Bell in his hand.

A peculiar expression gradually crept across his lips.

Within Biyou Palace on Golden Ao Island, Saint Tongtian had already taken out a gourd of wine and begun to drink.

The divine liquor was extremely potent, enough to intoxicate even a saint.

By now, Saint Tongtian was already a bit tipsy.

Seeing the Six Roots Pure Bamboo appear on the Ranking List, even Tongtian was somewhat taken aback.

He knew something of that bamboo—it was itself one of the Ten Great Spiritual Roots of Heaven and Earth.

That bastard Zhunti had taken the top six joints and refined them into the Six Roots Pure Bamboo.

When they had sparred before, he had witnessed its power firsthand.

By all reason, it shouldn't have ranked this low...

Yet now it appeared at fiftieth place...

That was rather intriguing.

With a hint of drunkenness, Tongtian revealed a strange expression, as if he could hardly believe it.

There even seemed to be a trace of mockery at the corner of his lips.

Within Jade Void Palace, Primeval Lord of Heaven watched the Six Roots Pure Bamboo make the list, and a sneer gradually curled at the corner of his mouth.

He had always looked down on the two saints of the West.

Those two Western saints had received the opportunity to attain sainthood from their teacher.

They had earned merit for protecting the West, established the Great Western Sect, and accumulated multiple layers of merit—yet still could not become saints.

In the end, they had to swear forty-eight great vows in succession, borrowing merit from the Heavenly Dao, barely scraping by to sainthood.

How could such saints compare to him, the orthodox Xuanmen?

That Six Roots Pure Bamboo was nothing more than a common trinket—ranking fiftieth was already more than it deserved.

What more could it ask for?

The mockery on Primeval Lord of Heaven's lips grew more pronounced. He glanced back at the Pangu Banner standing behind him, a smug expression spreading across his face.

His Pangu Banner was unmatched in slaughter and possessed the power to suppress fate.

Beyond that, he had many other mighty treasures, all of which were surely items that would make the list.

It seemed that on this Ranking List, he, Saint Primordial, would inevitably dominate the top spot.

Not only these Heavenly Dao Sages, but everyone else also found it somewhat unbelievable.

This Six Roots Pure Bamboo could be said to shake the Primordial Chaos Land; it was a common Dharma treasure used by Saint Zhunti.

Yet now it was only ranked fiftieth.

Wasn't that far too low?

At that moment, everyone began to murmur in discussion.

But out of deference to Saint Zhunti's face, they could only whisper among themselves.

For a time, the skies above the Primordial Chaos Land were filled with a buzzing hum of hushed voices.

Saint Zhunti's expression was extremely ugly. A stifled fury churned in his heart, yet he could not release it.

Finally, he fixed his gaze on Daoist Randeng:

"Randeng, This Saint's Six Roots Pure Bamboo ranks above your Universe Ruler. Are you convinced?"

As these words fell, the entire chaotic Primordial Chaos Land fell silent in an instant.

Everyone's breathing grew softer.

Just moments ago, Daoist Randeng had been shouting his discontent to heaven and earth, fiercely questioning his Universe Ruler's ranking.

Now, the aggrieved Saint Zhunti had spoken up to ask.

"The Six Roots Pure Bamboo ranks above your Universe Ruler—are you convinced?"

At this moment, the entire Primordial Chaos Land was eerily quiet.

Everyone waited for Daoist Randeng's answer.

"..."

Yet everyone was disappointed.

The whole expanse of heaven and earth remained utterly silent.

Randeng did not answer Saint Zhunti.

In truth, he could not answer.

Saint Zhunti's Six Roots Pure Bamboo was indeed more powerful than his Universe Ruler.

Its ranking naturally came before his.

Far away in a remote region, Daoist Randeng's face darkened.

His eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

He felt a burning sting on his face, as if Saint Zhunti had truly slapped him hard across the cheek.

"..."

After another moment, there was still no sound between heaven and earth—an uncanny stillness.

"Hmph!"

With Saint Zhunti's snort echoing out, the Primordial Chaos Land gradually grew lively again.

But the subject of all discussion now fell squarely on Daoist Randeng.
