Chapter 230: The Saint's Treasure!
A treasure like the Heavenly Book is rarely encountered in the vast Primordial World. Its uniqueness lies not only in its extraordinary abilities but also in its immense power. Unlike many other treasures, it lacks offensive capabilities, yet it remains of utmost importance.
Some of the lower-level cultivators in the Primordial World were unaware of the Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Human. However, after the introduction from the Weapon List and extensive discussions among many cultivators, more people gradually became familiar with them.
The release of the rankings continued. However, as the ranked weapons became more prominent, the intervals between announcements grew longer. This allowed the audience ample time to discuss in the livestream.
This time in the Primordial World, many treasures were revealed, providing a great opportunity for those with limited knowledge to recognize numerous treasures and learn their functions. However, there were also those who were displeased—especially those whose unique weapons were exposed, along with their functions. Originally unknown to others, these hidden tools were now revealed to all, rendering some of their secret techniques ineffective.
Among these was Lu Ya's Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger, a formidable treasure. Its greatest advantage lay in its surprise factor. Unfortunately, the Weapon List had exposed its function, and now the livestream was filled with people spamming, "Call upon the treasure to turn around!"
Everyone now knew that using the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger required calling upon it through a gourd. Although once released, the dagger was nearly impossible to stop, now that everyone was aware that the gourd in Lu Ya's hand housed the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger, they would be on high alert whenever it appeared, exercising extreme caution.
While this revelation didn't diminish Lu Ya's overall combat strength, it did mean that his prized weapon—once a secret trump card—was now public knowledge, with almost no one in the Primordial World unaware of it.
Naturally, Lu Ya was furious. But with time, he would come to terms with it, understanding that while the dagger might no longer be as stealthy, it still remained deadly. Even though others might recognize the gourd, it wouldn't stop him from easily killing those he needed to kill with the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger. For those he couldn't kill, he would just need to find alternative methods.
Beyond the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger, there were many other strange and powerful treasures revealed in the Primordial World. Their high rankings further broadened everyone's horizons.
Then came Fuxi's Hetu and Luoshu on the ranking list. Among the Three Sovereigns, only his treasure ranked near the top, though not at the very top. Still, compared to the other two, it was quite impressive.
Xuanyuan's Xuanyuan Sword and Shennong's Shennong Cauldron had already appeared earlier on the list. Both of these treasures were acquired through postnatal merit and could not compare to Fuxi's innate spirit treasure, the Hetu and Luoshu.
While the Three Sovereigns were all quasi-saints with immense power, and combined they surpassed a single quasi-saint, their treasures seemed somewhat lacking.
Following that, various other powerful weapons continued to appear on the list.
Weapon List, Rank 32: Red Silk Ball | Owner: Nuwa
The Red Silk Ball can strike a person, and even a Saint could be injured by it. It is one of Nuwa's Merit Saint artifacts, capable of presiding over the marriages of Heaven, Earth, and Man.
The Red Silk Ball had a long history, having been obtained by Nuwa from the Treasure Dividing Cliff. It was a highly effective weapon in Nuwa's hands, injuring many powerful beings over the years.
During the Investiture of the Gods, the Red Silk Ball even injured Tongtian Jiaozhu, demonstrating the might of this innate spirit treasure when wielded by Nuwa.
However, the true strength of the Red Silk Ball did not lie in its ability to injure a Saint. Its true uniqueness came from its role as an object of marriage, making it one of a kind in the Three Realms.
Sun Wukong: "It even has that kind of function? Innate spirit treasures are so strange, even controlling marriage!"
Erlang Shen: "You have no idea. There's much more to it than that. With your memory, I bet you'd forget even if you had read about it before!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva: "This treasure belongs to Saint Nuwa. Its power is undeniable. Since Saint Nuwa governs the human race, it makes sense that this treasure, connected to marriage, is so fitting for her!"
Taiyi Zhenren: "With a treasure like the Red Silk Ball being revealed, it's clear that the subsequent items on the list will be even more formidable. At this point, if you're still hoping for your own treasure to make it onto the list, forget it. They'll all be top-grade innate spirit treasures from now on!"
Fuxi: "I knew Saint Nuwa's treasure would make it onto the list. But I didn't expect it to rank as low as 32. I feel like the Red Silk Ball should be ranked higher. Its power is far beyond just this position!"
Ancestor Minghe: "I've heard about this Red Silk Ball for a long time, and today, I finally get to witness it!"
Ancestor Minghe was always isolated from others in the Primordial World, living in the Blood Sea. He led a lonely and boring life, similar to Sun Wukong's imprisonment under the Five Elements Mountain.
However, unlike Sun Wukong, Ancestor Minghe could leave the Blood Sea at any time, unrestrained, moving about freely—making him a truly unique existence.
Sun Wukong: "So this is Saint Nuwa's treasure. It doesn't seem all that powerful. If I don't try it for myself, I'll find it hard to believe!"
Taiyi Zhenren: "This is only the tip of the iceberg. There are many more treasures to come!"
After all, this was only the 32nd-ranked treasure, and the weapons ahead of it were undoubtedly even more powerful than the Red Silk Ball.
Ever since Sun Wukong learned that he had sprung from the stone left behind when Saint Nuwa mended the heavens, he had been extremely respectful of her.
Once the appearance of the Red Silk Ball concluded, everyone's attention shifted to the upcoming weapons. Now that the treasures of Saints were being revealed, they anticipated seeing the true weapons Saints themselves used.
These weren't like the Vajra Bracelet, which was crafted by a Saint but rarely used. No, these were weapons Saints employed in battle. Most people in the Primordial World, even those with considerable strength, would never have the chance to witness a Saint's weapon in action. This event was a rare opportunity, allowing them to safely admire the treasures of the strongest beings without fear.
