Chapter 126.2: The Power List Conclude, Golden Lightning!

On the screen appeared a black tree.

[Soul Tree: Can gradually enhance soul strength and mental power, and also restore mental energy.]

[Yamanaka Inoichi: This is a great reward. Our Yamanaka Clan's secret techniques rely on strong mental strength, and the Soul Tree will help us enhance that, thus increasing our overall power!]

[Yamanaka Ino: Haha, this is awesome! Dad, hurry up and extract the Soul Tree, I want to train under it!]

[Akimichi Chōza: Your Yamanaka Clan has some good luck too!]

[Nara Shikaku: The rankings seem to provide rewards that suit each clan's needs perfectly, making them all quite useful.]

[Tsunade: Indeed. Unless you're really unlucky, the rewards are generally quite fitting for us, without any completely unusable or unsuitable items.]

Time passed, and one by one, the rewards for each group were revealed. Unknowingly, the reward distribution was nearing its end.

As the last reward for the Fūma Clan was announced, it signaled the conclusion of the Power List rewards.

[Kakashi: The Power List rewards have been fully distributed. Looks like we'll have to wait another year for the new rankings to be revealed.]

[Might Guy: I'm looking forward to the new rankings! I hope I can make it to the list this time!]

[Senju Hashirama: I also hope I can be included in the new rankings!]

[Uchiha Madara: If the new rankings are revealed, I will definitely be on the list!]

Everyone eagerly anticipated the announcement of the new rankings.

Soon after, information about the new rankings was revealed.

[The new rankings will be announced one year from now, with three new lists being revealed this time!]

This announcement shocked countless people.

[Tsunade: To reveal three new lists at once, they must be related!]

[Third Tsuchikage: Last time, the two lists revealed were the 'Handsome Men' and 'Beautiful Women.' What will the new lists be?]

[Fourth Raikage: It's hard to imagine what three related rankings could be!]

[Nara Shikaku: I can't think of any rankings that would require three lists to be announced together.]

[Senju Hashirama: With three lists, at least more of us will have a chance to be included!]

[Terumi Mei: Based on my guess, one person will likely only be able to appear on one list!]

[Uzumaki Naruto: As long as I make it onto the list, I'm happy!]

"Three lists being announced all at once?"

Ye Tian was somewhat surprised. He didn't know what the three rankings would be either, but with the Power List reward distribution over, it was time for him to extract his rewards.

This time, three of his factions received rewards, each of immense value:

The Path of Inquiry, The Tree of Enlightenment, and The True Dragon Blood Pool.

Each of these rewards would greatly strengthen the power of his factions.

Afterward, Ye Tian traveled to a different dimension near the Shinobi World, a dimension he had discovered long ago and now fully controlled. He referred to it as Dimension One. He planned to place the three treasures in this world, where members of his factions could enter through specific space passages to train.

Dimension One.

Ye Tian arrived here and summoned Octopus sensei, Sun Wukong, the three fox sisters, Kumoko, Red Lotus Godzilla, and many others. In addition, many super kage-level ninja from the underground black market, the ninja guild, and the mercenary guild gathered.

"Extract all three rewards," Ye Tian commanded.

"Yes, Master!"

The group responded.

Soon, the three rewards appeared one after another.

Boom!!!!

The Path of Inquiry appeared, stretching across the void, extending into the unknown depths.

The Tree of Enlightenment settled on a mountain, transforming it into a sacred training ground.

The True Dragon Blood Pool was stored within a grand structure in Dimension One, a building the group had previously constructed, now used to house the True Dragon Blood Pool.

"Let's head to the True Dragon Blood Pool first!" Ye Tian instructed.

"Yes, Master!" The group followed Ye Tian to the True Dragon Blood Pool.

The True Dragon Blood Pool was vast, and everyone seemed like ants in its presence.

Ye Tian entered the pool directly, absorbing its energy.

Buzz!!!

The energy of the True Dragon Blood Pool surged into his body, helping him refine his Glazed Golden Body.

However, Ye Tian frowned.

"The effect is too weak. It's not much faster than my usual training. As expected, the True Dragon Blood Pool is only suitable for those below the Six Paths level; it's not for me!" Ye Tian murmured.

Immediately, he instructed the super kage-level members to begin their training. Their progress was rapid, far surpassing the speed at which he could refine his body.

Sun Wukong and the others also benefited from training in the pool. Though it was better than their usual solitary cultivation, the effect was still not extraordinary.

However, for a faction, the True Dragon Blood Pool was an invaluable asset!

"Wow, Master! The True Dragon Blood Pool is amazing!" Garaga exclaimed excitedly.

Though he was at the Six Paths level, being of the dragon race meant the True Dragon Blood Pool was highly beneficial to him.

"Rongrong, you'll need to manage the training time in the True Dragon Blood Pool from now on, and calculate it based on points," Ye Tian instructed.

This was necessary to prevent overuse; without limits, the energy of the pool would be quickly depleted.

"Understood, Master!" Rongrong responded.

Afterward, Ye Tian led the group to the Tree of Enlightenment.

As soon as they arrived, everyone closed their eyes, sensing the changes in their comprehension.

Ye Tian also felt his own improvement. His comprehension had indeed increased, but given that he had a simulation system, he had no need for such boosts.

Since the Tree of Enlightenment was always present, Ye Tian did not restrict anyone's access to it. Everyone was free to cultivate there without time limits.

Of course, entering the hundred-meter radius around the Tree of Enlightenment required a point expenditure.

Finally, Ye Tian led the group to the Path of Inquiry. This was the reward for first place on the Power List, and in Ye Tian's view, it was the best reward, without a doubt.

After all, this was a treasure crafted by a powerful being. If one could reach the end of the path, they would receive immense benefits.

Since the Golden List deemed these benefits "immense," they surely were, even for someone as strong as Ye Tian.

Soon, everyone entered the Path of Inquiry, eager to see what it held.

The moment they stepped onto the path, they felt a heavy pressure.

"The gravity is intense!" one super kage-level warrior remarked, frowning.

While this gravity was nothing to a super kage-level individual, it grew heavier the further they advanced.

At this point, Ye Tian also stepped onto the Path of Inquiry.

He felt the gravity as well, but with his strength, it was negligible.

Step by step, Ye Tian walked along the path. The gravity continued to increase, and after about a thousand meters, the Path of Inquiry began to change.

At that moment, countless flames appeared on the path.

These flames surged into Ye Tian's body, as if trying to burn him.

However, no matter how fiercely they burned, they couldn't harm Ye Tian's Glazed Golden Body.

"These flames..." Ye Tian realized that they were no ordinary flames. If one could withstand them, their physical body would be tempered, making it stronger and more resilient.

"This is both a test and a reward! Even the gravity serves as training, like cultivating in a gravity chamber!" Ye Tian murmured.

He continued forward, walking another thousand meters. The flames disappeared, replaced by wind.

An endless gust of wind assaulted Ye Tian. No defense could stop it; the wind penetrated directly into his internal organs. If someone's internal organs weren't strong enough, they wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Clearly, enduring this wind could also strengthen the body.

But Ye Tian's body had been gradually strengthened through his simulation system, making his foundation incredibly solid. He didn't need to temper his body further here.

He continued forward, walking another thousand meters.

At this point, the wind disappeared, and lightning began to strike.

Countless bolts of lightning fell. At first, they were ordinary lightning, but soon turned purple, and eventually golden.

Even the ordinary lightning posed a fatal threat to super kage-level warriors—it was the most terrifying form of ordinary lightning. The purple lightning was dangerous to Six Paths-level experts, and as for the golden lightning, even Six Paths-level experts couldn't withstand it. It was a threat even to those of the Immortal Path level.

"Golden lightning can aid in refining my Glazed Golden Body!" Ye Tian exclaimed in delight.

The effect was remarkable. Ye Tian noticed that the Path of Inquiry still stretched on for quite a distance.

Therefore, he decided not to rush. Instead, he stayed in the golden lightning zone to cultivate for a while, further enhancing his strength.
