Chapter 239: The Origin of the Treasure!

Chapter 239: The Origin of the Treasure!

Due to the fact that Heavenly Auspicious Clouds isn't widely known, some people were quite puzzled and wanted to ask about it.

[Sun Wukong: What exactly is Heavenly Auspicious Clouds?]

[Taiyi Zhenren: It's a defensive magical treasure that can block countless attacks and isolate external divine powers. Ordinary assaults can't break through its protection!]

[Guang Chengzi: Heavenly Auspicious Clouds isn't a flashy treasure. Some people, not having seen its effects, are puzzled as to why such an item qualifies to make the list.]

[Ancestor Minghe: Only those who have seen it in action or know enough about it can understand the power of the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds!]

[Sun Wukong: You all keep boasting about how great this thing is, but we have no idea what it even is!]

The description in the Weapon List informed Sun Wukong that this was a defensive treasure, but these people didn't explain it clearly.

[Tathagata: This treasure's origins are rather complex and relate to Saint Hongjun. After Saint Hongjun acquired this item, he used it to defeat the once-arrogant Rahu. This treasure played a crucial role in that battle, but later, Saint Hongjun gave it to Yuanshi Tianzun.]

[Tathagata: Yuanshi Tianzun didn't let this treasure go to waste. During the last Investiture of the Gods War, he also used it, and it played a critical role in the Immortal Execution Sword Formation, contributing to his ultimate victory!]

[Sun Wukong: So that's how it is!]

[Lu Ya: Not only that, but this treasure is also closely tied to the Immortal Execution Sword Formation. Back when Saint Hongjun defeated Rahu, he used the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds, while Rahu used the Immortal Execution Sword Formation. Who would've thought that after so long, a similar coincidence would happen? Yuanshi Tianzun used the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds to protect himself within the Immortal Execution Sword Formation and defeat Ancestor Tongtian! Twice in a row, the Immortal Execution Sword Formation lost!]

[Yuanshi Tianzun: It's not as formidable as you're saying. It's merely an ordinary defensive treasure, capable of protecting one's body and ensuring safety, nothing more.]

[Erlang Shen: If the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds is an "ordinary defensive treasure," then what does that make our far inferior items, unworthy of even being called treasures?]

[Fuxi: The Heavenly Auspicious Clouds has more uses than that. It's just that Yuanshi Tianzun has so many treasures that its power isn't fully realized in his hands. Given his strength, he doesn't really need such a thing unless he faces a powerful opponent like the Immortal Execution Sword Formation again!]

[Ancestor Minghe: After all, Yuanshi Tianzun is a Saint with countless treasures. He excels at both attack and defense, so it's rare that he'd need such a treasure to protect himself, as few can force him to that point!]

[Sun Wukong: The more I hear about what's next, the more curious I get. This treasure ranked tenth can already repel all attacks, and most other treasures can't even breach it. Just imagine how powerful the treasures that rank higher will be!]

After hearing the detailed explanations from several powerful figures, everyone came to understand how formidable the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds was. Yet, all they could do was marvel in awe.

In Yuanshi Tianzun's hands, unless he gives it to someone else, it will likely remain underutilized.

After the heated discussion, the rankings were updated again.

[Weapon List Rank No.9: Pangu Banner, Innate Supreme Treasure, Owner: Yuanshi Tianzun]

[The Pangu Banner is exceedingly powerful, capable of tearing apart chaos and the primordial void, shattering heavens and time, embodying the Dao of Creation, mastering the mysteries of all laws, and possessing the ability to split the universe. It can manipulate the forces of heaven and earth, standing unrivaled in both offense and creation within the Primordial World!]

Though it seems quite powerful, the true might of the Pangu Banner is slightly lesser than described, as it was transformed from the Pangu Axe, and all its powers originate from the Pangu Axe.

In other words, everything the Pangu Axe possessed, the Pangu Banner has as well, but the two cannot be compared in terms of strength.

It must be understood that the current Three Realms were created by the Pangu Axe splitting heaven and earth. The Pangu Banner, however, lacks that kind of power; otherwise, it would surely rank first.

Nonetheless, the Pangu Banner holds the top spot among treasures in terms of offensive and defensive abilities. Even when Yuanshi Tianzun acquired it, Saint Hongjun was deeply wary of its strength.

Hongjun, knowing Pangu's prowess and the power of the Pangu Axe, had warned Yuanshi Tianzun not to casually wield the Pangu Banner during dangerous moments. Otherwise, its devastating power could lead to significant casualties.

The reason Hongjun could say this is, first, because the banner retained some of the sharpness of the Pangu Axe, and second, because the only treasure comparable to it is the Immortal Execution Four Swords. However, the Immortal Execution Four Swords must be used in conjunction with their formation diagram to match the Pangu Banner; otherwise, as individual swords, they are no match for the Pangu Banner.

[Chiyou: At last, we see the Pangu Banner again. This is the item formed from Pangu's axe. Just seeing it is like seeing Pangu himself, a testament to his might!]

[Bai Ze: The Pangu Banner didn't inherit much of the Pangu Axe's power. Although it ranks now, it pales in comparison to the axe. Even if it inherited just a tenth of the Pangu Axe's strength, it would easily be in the top three, not ranked where it is now!]

[Tathagata: The Pangu Banner is already extremely formidable. Of course, it can't compare to the Pangu Axe, which is beyond reach, but in today's Primordial World, the Pangu Banner is considered a top-tier treasure!]

[Sun Wukong: Looking at the Pangu Banner's power, I doubt it's as simple as it seems. A Saint with this kind of weapon shouldn't be underestimated—their hidden strength runs deep!]

[Bull Demon King: The fact that this is an item forged from the Pangu Axe shocks everyone. Without the appearance of the Weapon List, it would be nearly impossible for those of us at our level to even aspire to such a treasure!]

The appearance of the Pangu Banner stunned everyone, as none of them had ever seen such a powerful treasure that could alter space-time and shatter the void.

In short, there was nothing this treasure couldn't do. However, since they hadn't witnessed its full power firsthand, while they were astonished, they still harbored some doubts. But it wasn't like Yuanshi Tianzun would demonstrate the treasure for them.
