"Senior Brother Jieyin, the Primordial Violet Gold List is so powerful that it can even repair the boundless sky. It surely can't be wrong."

He paused briefly, then continued:

"It seems there are still many things in this boundless Primordial World that we don't know. The West has a long and arduous road ahead if it is to prosper..."

He gave a bitter smile and shook his head.

Daoist Jieyin, standing beside Daoist Zhunti, felt the same way.

His expression grew equally solemn.

His junior brother's Six Roots Pure Bamboo was so powerful, yet it had only ranked fiftieth.

It seemed the Primordial Chaos Land truly concealed many things...

Only now did the people of the Primordial World react.

Then, as if a pot had boiled over, they erupted into a frenzy.

A Sage's magic treasure had made the list... and it had only ranked fiftieth?

"Is this for real? A magic treasure this powerful only ranked fiftieth? That's unbelievable!"

"The fiftieth-ranked magic treasure is already this powerful? How strong must the treasures above it be? I can't wait to find out..."

"Indeed. The more you think about it, the more terrifying it gets. A Sage's magic treasure this powerful only ranked fiftieth. It seems the Primordial World still holds many opportunities... Today has truly opened my eyes..."

High above the boundless Heavenly Court, two peerless Great Emperors sat gazing down upon the world.

One was Di Jun, Supreme of Ten Thousand Demons.

The other was Tai Yi, the peerless Eastern Emperor.

Tai Yi gave a disdainful laugh.

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

Supreme of Ten Thousand Demons Di Jun nodded as well.

"Ever since Demon Ancestor Rahu refined the West's fortune, the region has become desolate. The two Sages only have a few magic treasures that are any good. It's already impressive that one of their treasures made the list!"

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

The scorn in his eyes grew even stronger.

Di Jun continued:

"Although the West is desolate, those two Sages must not be underestimated. You and I still haven't found a way to become Sages, so we mustn't let our guard down."

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

A strange expression gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Inside Biyou Palace on Golden Ao Island, Saint Tongtian had already taken out a wine gourd and started drinking.

The immortal wine was so potent that even a Sage could get drunk.

By now, Saint Tongtian was already a little tipsy.

Even Tongtian was somewhat surprised to see the Six Roots Pure Bamboo appear on the Ranking List.

He knew a little about the Six Roots Pure Bamboo. It was one of the Ten Great Spiritual Roots of Heaven and Earth.

That wretch Zhunti had taken the six sections at its tip and refined them into the Six Roots Pure Bamboo.

He had witnessed its power when they had sparred before.

By rights, it shouldn't have ranked so low...

Yet now it had appeared in fiftieth place...

That was rather intriguing.

Tongtian, a little tipsy, revealed a strange expression, as if he found it hard to believe.

There was even a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth.

When Primeval Lord of Heaven saw the Six Roots Pure Bamboo make the list inside Jade Void Palace, disdain gradually showed at the corner of his mouth.

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

The two Sages of the West had received the opportunity to become Sages from their teacher.

They had gained merit by protecting the West and establishing the Great Western Sect. Despite having several layers of merit to their names, they had still failed to become Sages.

In the end, they had made Forty-Eight Great Vows in succession and borrowed merit from the Heavenly Dao before barely managing to become Sages.

How could Sages like them compare to him, the Orthodox Xuanmen?

The Six Roots Pure Bamboo was nothing more than an ordinary trinket. Ranking fiftieth was already good enough.

What more could it want?

The mockery on Primeval Lord of Heaven's face grew more pronounced. He then glanced back at the Pangu Banner standing behind him, his face showing smug satisfaction.

His Pangu Banner was peerless in its killing power and could also suppress fortune.

Besides that, he had many other powerful magic treasures, which were surely worthy of a place on the list.

It seemed that in this Ranking List, he, Saint Primordial, would inevitably stand head and shoulders above the rest.

It wasn't only these Heavenly Dao Sages who found it hard to believe.

Everyone else was just as astonished.

The Six Roots Pure Bamboo was renowned throughout the Primordial World. It was a magic treasure Saint Zhunti often used.

Yet now it had ranked only fiftieth.

That really did seem too low, didn't it?

At that moment, everyone began discussing it.

But out of consideration for Saint Zhunti's dignity, they could only whisper among themselves.

For a time, the sky above the Primordial World was filled with a low murmur.

Saint Zhunti's expression was extremely grim. He was seething with anger, but had nowhere to vent it.

At last, he fixed his gaze on Daoist Randeng.

"Randeng, my Six Roots Pure Bamboo is ranked above your Universe Ruler. Are you convinced?"

As soon as he spoke, the entire clamorous Primordial World fell silent.

Everyone's breathing grew quieter.

Just moments ago, Daoist Randeng had been shouting that he wasn't convinced.

He had vehemently questioned the ranking of his Universe Ruler.

Now Saint Zhunti, still brimming with resentment, had spoken up.

Are you convinced that the Six Roots Pure Bamboo is ranked above your Universe Ruler?

The entire Primordial World was now eerily quiet.

Everyone was waiting for Daoist Randeng's answer.

"..."

Yet everyone was disappointed.

The whole world remained utterly silent.

Randeng didn't answer Saint Zhunti.

In truth, he couldn't answer.

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

Naturally, it ranked above his.

Far away, in a secluded place, Daoist Randeng's face darkened.

His eyelids kept twitching.

His face felt as if it were burning.

It was as though Saint Zhunti had truly slapped him hard across the face.

"..."

After a while, there was still not the slightest sound from anywhere. The silence was eerie.

"Hmph!"

Only after Saint Zhunti's snort rang out did the Primordial Chaos Land gradually grow lively again.

But now, everyone's attention had turned to Daoist Randeng.
