Chapter 225: The Blessing Vajra!

Chapter 225: The Blessing Vajra!

The appearance of the Shennong Cauldron breathed new life into the list, signifying that the treasures to follow would all be innate spirit treasures. Most of the spectators watching the list were primarily eager to see innate spirit treasures. Although post-heavenly supreme treasures could be powerful, they paled in comparison to innate spirit treasures, and all cultivators were eagerly awaiting the reveal.

They had all heard tales about the famous treasures wielded by the mighty figures in the Primordial Era, and while they could imagine their power, they had never seen them with their own eyes. Now, having the chance to witness these powerful weapons from the Primordial Era, they were unwilling to miss it. More importantly, they were excited to see the weapons that ranked higher on the list.

The weapons that had appeared earlier were ranked too low, and some were even familiar to them. Only the higher-ranked innate treasures, and especially the supreme ones, were the true reason they were watching this list.

As the next ranking was revealed, this time, no unfamiliar name like Ye Tian appeared. The treasures and their owners were all well-known powerhouses from the Primordial Era.

Most people had at least heard of these weapons, and some had even seen them in person, so there was no shock this time.

[Weapon List Rank No. 60: The Blessing Vajra, Low-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, Owner: Zhunti]

[The Blessing Vajra is immensely powerful and extremely durable. It can crush anything, and its attack power is tremendous!]

[Guanyin Bodhisattva: This is the treasure of Saint Zhunti. Although it's not the one he uses most often, the fact that it ranks so highly shows that the two Western Saints have many powerful treasures!]

[Taiyi Zhenren: What's the use of such a strong treasure? Saint Zhunti's power far surpasses the need for such things, yet he still won't give any of them to you. Don't you find that strange?]

[Manjushri Bodhisattva: Saints have their own considerations. How could they casually give such things to ordinary disciples? You, a nobody from who-knows-where, wouldn't understand!]

[Samantabhadra Bodhisattva: This treasure doesn't have many opportunities to be used. Keeping it in the hands of Saint Zhunti is the best choice.]

Taiyi Zhenren's words were clearly meant to stir up trouble. He knew that such treasures were no ordinary items. Even though a saint might not need an innate spirit treasure, they wouldn't casually hand it over to their disciples either.

Only when a disciple had achieved great merit might they have a chance to receive one. Otherwise, even for saints, innate spirit treasures were not easy to come by. Carelessly giving them to disciples would be a grave mistake. Innate spirit treasures are rare, even among quasi-saints, and there are many of those. Handing them out recklessly to Buddhist disciples could bring even greater disasters.

[Ancestor Minghe: This is just the first one. Zhunti likely has better treasures, which should appear later on the list!]

[Sun Wukong: These saints, one after another, who knows how many treasures they've hoarded. Yet, they won't give us even one. Do you really think they need these things?]

[Erlang Shen: Saints are saints because of their overwhelming power. Of course, powerful people have more treasures. Isn't it normal? You, monkey, have the nerve to talk about saints so casually!]

[Nezha: The Blessing Vajra is an innate spirit treasure. Even though it ranks lower, it still surpasses most other treasures in the Primordial Era. It's incredibly valuable. How could they just hand it out to disciples?]

[Kong Xuan: Whether or not a disciple receives it depends on Saint Zhunti's will. What use is your chatter here? It won't change anything.]

[Guangchengzi: This treasure's functionality is limited. Aside from smashing people, I doubt it has any other use!]

[Guanyin Bodhisattva: Isn't your Overturning Seal the same? This is an innate spirit treasure with immense power!]

Though the Blessing Vajra had a singular use, the Buddhist Bodhisattvas were unwilling to let it be belittled so openly. After all, no matter how powerful a treasure is, some people will always be bold enough to downplay its value.

Regardless, these Bodhisattvas were determined to stop the slander.

[Zhunti: A treasure belongs to the one who is destined to have it. I will not gift it randomly. Innate spirit treasures are extremely rare in the Primordial Era. If anyone claims they are easy to come by, let them step forward, and I'll see for myself!]

Saints are usually calm by nature, but the unchecked chatter in the livestream had crossed the line, almost as if they no longer respected him. Zhunti couldn't allow this disrespect to continue.

When they saw the saint speaking directly, everyone realized that a saint had been watching them all along. If they continued to say anything more, they risked drawing the saint's ire.

[Zhunti: The Blessing Vajra, being an innate spirit treasure, holds immense power. However, it is not easy to control. Without sufficient strength, it could very well harm its wielder.]

[Guanyin Bodhisattva: Saint Zhunti need not explain further. If they dare speak again, just suppress them all!]

The conversation about this treasure quickly passed, but everyone now understood that while everyone could speak in the livestream, it was not wise to casually comment on certain treasures. A saint's dignity must never be challenged.

If anyone said something too offensive, even if it wasn't particularly bad, as long as the saint was displeased, they could suppress them at will. This was the law of the strong.

Without the power to resist, those who didn't want to be treated harshly could only keep quiet and not speak carelessly. Otherwise, they would only face pain.

Even Sun Wukong understood that the saints would never allow those weaker than themselves to act with impunity in front of them.

From the start, Sun Wukong had only been speaking about the Buddha. Though the Buddha was not a saint, his status in Buddhism was incredibly high. For most, speaking to the Buddha the way Sun Wukong did would have been impossible.

If someone else had done so, they would have been punished by the Buddhists. Sun Wukong, however, had not faced such punishment because he had already been noticed by the Buddha.

Being suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain was already a significant punishment. If it had been any other ordinary demon, they would likely have been converted by Buddhism. But Sun Wukong could not be treated the same way.

The Buddha needed Sun Wukong, a role in the Journey to the West that was irreplaceable and could not be omitted.

The Buddha also had to ensure Sun Wukong did not encounter any accidents, as the monkey was fond of stirring up trouble. If Sun Wukong provoked a powerful figure from the Primordial Era and was killed, it would be a big problem.

Suppressing him under the Five Elements Mountain was, in a way, a protective measure.
