Chapter 240: Successive Shocking Treasures!

Therefore, when it comes to the Pangu Banner, they could only imagine it in their minds.

Then, the Weapon List announced the next name.

[Weapon List - 8th Place: Taiji Diagram, Innate Supreme Treasure

Owner: Laozi]

[The Taiji Diagram can eliminate evil, making one impervious to all techniques. As long as one is within the Taiji Diagram, they will be invincible. When confronting enemies, it can transform into a grand golden bridge spanning thousands of miles, capable of stabilizing the earth, wind, water, and fire, as well as the cosmic void!]

The Taiji Diagram is an image of Dao, constantly changing with the interaction of yin and yang, forming the shape of Taiji. It is Laozi's treasure for maintaining fortune and the protective treasure of the Human Sect. Like the Pangu Banner, it is transformed from the Pangu Axe, inheriting some of its power.

Each part of the Pangu Banner received a fragment of the axe's power, which makes it seem somewhat average. However, its offensive power is extremely outstanding, as it inherits the vast majority of the Pangu Axe's strength-based Dao.

The Taiji Diagram, on the other hand, leans towards defense. It can stabilize everything, be it the earth, wind, water, fire, or the cosmic void, effortlessly.

Even when facing an enemy, it doesn't crush them directly but can transform into a golden bridge to suppress them.

[Sun Wukong: Although seeing such an item is delightful, as soon as I see the owner, I am reminded of my miserable fate. I never thought that the very Laozi who refined me in the alchemy furnace would have such great power and possess so many treasures. I have no idea how I managed to escape his Tushita Palace. If he had decided to stop me, I probably wouldn't have had any chance of escaping at all!]

When Sun Wukong caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, he was indeed full of pride. He never expected such an outcome, and the power of Laozi was beyond his expectations. He originally thought he was just a regular old alchemist but didn't realize he was a Saint.

Moreover, when Sun Wukong left, he had eaten or destroyed countless elixirs. Laozi had such a good temper that even after seeing this, he didn't come out to punish Sun Wukong.

[Haotian Jade Emperor: You should count yourself lucky for the Saint's benevolence. If you had truly angered him, your fate would have been much worse. Let alone being imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain to reflect on yourself, you should stop thinking about escaping and stay put!]

[Ancestor Minghe: The Taiji Diagram and Pangu Banner were both transformed from the Pangu Axe. Both are top-tier Innate Supreme Treasures. This shows just how powerful the Pangu Axe must have been. It was capable of splitting the heavens and earth, shattering the void of chaos. Only such immense power could accomplish that!]

[Bai Ze: Of course, the Pangu Axe alone wouldn't suffice. It required the strength of Great God Pangu to achieve that feat!]

[Guanyin Bodhisattva: The Taiji Diagram is now in Laozi's hands. It's the protective treasure of the Human Sect and also his Dao-proving treasure. Whether in terms of power or its purpose, it has been fully utilized. I'm curious about just how powerful this treasure is!]

[Tathagata: I once witnessed the unfolding of the Taiji Diagram. The entire sky and void transformed into a golden bridge, with countless torrents of earth, wind, water, and fire below, all suppressed and stabilizing the surrounding space. It was as if time had momentarily paused. This shows the Taiji Diagram's power of suppression. And it's a defensive treasure, practically unbreakable by any other treasure!]

[Zhunti: The Taiji Diagram is a treasure I've long coveted. Back when I was at the Treasure Dividing Cliff, I wanted this one. But by the time it was my turn, it was already gone!]

[Lu Ya: While the Taiji Diagram is impressive, it's only ranked eighth. There are still seven more treasures that surpass it. I wonder what those seven treasures could be?]

[Taiyi Zhenren: The gap between this treasure and the previous ones is enormous. The earlier Innate Spirit Treasures and Postnatal Supreme Merit Treasures can't even compare. The difference in their utility is worlds apart!]

[Sun Wukong: Well, that's obvious. You have to understand that the owners of these treasures are Saints. How could the treasures used by others compare to theirs? Naturally, they are of extraordinary power. Otherwise, they wouldn't have caught the attention of Saints!]

[Erlang Shen: Though that may be true, there are no longer such treasures appearing in the current age of the Primodial World. The ones that could have emerged already have. It's hard not to feel envious.]

Only in the early days of the Chaos opening did the Primordial World have the most treasures. After that came the division of treasures at the Treasure Dividing Cliff. Although more treasures would appear later, they were far inferior to the earlier ones.

Erlang Shen, as a third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, possessed very few treasures. This was because there were no treasures available that matched his strength. Most treasures had long since found their owners.

[Xuanyuan: Laozi is the leader of the Human Sect, and this treasure suits him well. It may not have overwhelming offensive power, but it embodies the balance of all things and can suppress everything!]

[Fuxi: The Taiji Diagram is truly profound. The yin and yang on it swirl like two fishes, constantly moving. If I could study it for a while, I would surely gain great insights!]

Fuxi's strength is not weak, being a quasi-saint. However, wanting to comprehend the Taiji Diagram is just wishful thinking. There's no way Laozi would lend such a treasure to anyone for study.

However, Fuxi understood this and didn't dwell on it. He merely voiced his thoughts without having any real expectations.

[Sun Wukong: These treasures are all so powerful, but if the Saints don't take action, we'll never get to see them. Besides, they wouldn't use these treasures directly in battle. We probably won't have any chance to witness them!]

[Jieyin: Laozi's strength is beyond question, and so is the power of his treasures, especially the Taiji Diagram!]

[Laozi: The Taiji Diagram isn't that powerful; it's merely sufficient for self-defense.]

[Tathagata: Saint, you are being modest! For the Taiji Diagram to rank so highly on the Weapon List, it must have numerous strengths. Even if its offensive capability is lacking, it is still a Innate Supreme Treasure, and being transformed from the Pangu Axe means it can't be weak!]

Laozi never engages in conflict and always emphasizes balance. The Taiji Diagram is his Dao-proving treasure, perfectly aligned with him. Naturally, what he says reflects this philosophy.

By speaking now, he simply didn't want others to assume the Taiji Diagram was a powerful offensive weapon.

Although many believed this treasure to be immensely strong, in terms of attack power, it may not surpass other Innate Supreme Treasures. But in terms of defense, it undoubtedly exceeds them.
