Chapter 219: Continuation of the Rankings
Sun Wukong's actions were merely to make Erlang Shen feel even more humiliated, and he achieved the result he wanted, as Erlang Shen fell silent at this point.
The rankings continued to be announced one by one, and when it reached the 88th position, finally a somewhat familiar figure appeared.
[Rank 88 on the Weapon List: The Wind-Stilling Pearl, a Post-Heavenly Supreme Treasure!]
[Owner: Bodhisattva Lingji]
[The Wind-Stilling Pearl can control the wind!]
Most people were familiar with the Wind-Stilling Pearl, and its owner, Bodhisattva Lingji, was not an unknown figure either. He held some reputation in the Primodial World, being one of the top figures in Buddhism.
However, what surprised many was that the Wind-Stilling Pearl could even make it on the list. This was because the Wind-Stilling Pearl had no offensive capabilities and was neither a weapon of attack nor defense.
Even though it was a Post-Heavenly Supreme Treasure, its utility was quite limited, which is why no one initially thought it had the qualifications to make the list.
Ranking at 88th was already a respectable position, and the appearance of a Post-Heavenly Supreme Treasure with no offensive capabilities at all surprised many of the strong individuals.
[Bodhisattva Guanyin: I didn't expect the Wind-Stilling Pearl to make the list. It seems that a weapon doesn't necessarily need immense offensive power to be ranked. Otherwise, no matter how many Wind-Stilling Pearls one had, they wouldn't be able to make it!]
[Bodhisattva Lingji: I never thought the Wind-Stilling Pearl would make the list myself. I'm not sure if it's due to my luck, or if the Wind-Stilling Pearl is indeed a treasure of exceptional quality!]
[Zhunti: There's no major issue with this treasure being on the list. It's just that its abilities are relatively limited, so most of you wouldn't have considered it. However, it definitely qualifies, being a rare Post-Heavenly Supreme Treasure!]
Even the saints had no objections, so everyone else could only nod in agreement.
The ranking of the Wind-Stilling Pearl also made others think about their own treasures. Even if they didn't have any offensive capabilities, there was a chance they might still possess a supreme treasure.
Once the Wind-Stilling Pearl was announced, the rankings continued, and a variety of treasures appeared, broadening the horizons of many, as they had never seen so many rare treasures before.
Any treasure that could make the list was bound to have some remarkable qualities. Even if it lacked offensive power, it might still possess some unique attributes.
The news from the Primodial World spread far and wide, and it was nearly impossible for someone with a Post-Heavenly Supreme Treasure to keep it hidden. Therefore, the names revealed on the list were almost universally acknowledged.
But things completely changed when the ranking reached 78th place.
[Rank 78 on the Weapon List: Vibranium Spider Silk, a Post-Heavenly Supreme Treasure!]
[Owner: Kumoko]
[Vibranium Spider Silk is indestructible.]
Up until now, the rankings had progressed smoothly, showcasing the treasures of the Primodial World. But when it reached the 78th rank, everyone was stunned.
Even the saints were confused, as no one recognized either the treasure or its owner.
[Bull Demon King: Who is this? How come I've never heard of them? And their treasure has such a strange name. What exactly is it? Based on the name, it seems like they might be from the demon clan!]
[Bai Ze: Definitely not from the demon clan. I've been in the demon clan for so many years and have never heard of this name. If someone possessed such a treasure within the demon clan, I would know for sure!]
[Haotian Jade Emperor: It's unusual for such an unfamiliar name to appear at this point. Given how powerful this treasure is, its owner would be a considerable threat. Not knowing who they are is concerning!]
It was no surprise that no one knew Kumoko, as this individual had been brought into the Primodial World by Ye Tian, and Kumoko's treasure naturally came from the outside world as well.
Since this person didn't originally exist in the Primodial World, it was perfectly normal for none of them to know the name or the treasure.
This was the true danger they faced. Unless something went wrong with Ye Tian, it was impossible for anyone to have any information about Kumoko.
[Sun Wukong: When I first heard this name, I thought I was the only one who didn't know it. Turns out, none of you do either!]
[Lu Ya: This person's appearance is truly strange. I feel like they resemble someone else!]
[Emperor Jun: I know who you're referring to, but there's no way to confirm that yet. The Primodial World is too vast, so it's not unusual for a few unknown strong figures to emerge. Moreover, the Weapon List is completely different from the Body List. The Body List depends on one's physical body, while the Weapon List depends on the treasure they possess!]
Of course, they were referring to Ye Tian, as he had also appeared in a previous ranking, and no one had heard of his name before either. Yet, he had quickly taken first place, even surpassing the great Saint Hongjun, which was an extraordinary feat.
Still, it could just be a coincidence. They merely recalled it briefly, without taking any specific actions.
[Sun Wukong: This feels strange. If it were anyone else, they would be overjoyed to rank so high and would likely say something in the livestream chat. Yet this unknown name hasn't said a single word!]
[Bai Ze: No one knows their strength. Given that this person is hiding such a powerful treasure, if they don't have the corresponding strength, they might be in danger. The fact that no one has heard of this person suggests they've been hiding all along, for reasons unknown!]
[Bodhisattva Manjushri: There's no need to investigate further. Since they're on the list, it means their weapon is qualified. Who they are and how strong they might be isn't something we, as onlookers, need to worry about. It's unrelated to the ranking!]
[Bodhisattva Kṣitigarbha: Let's wait and see what happens next!]
For now, the mysterious name and treasure were temporarily forgotten, as the upcoming rankings were of great interest to everyone.
This was exactly what Ye Tian wanted, as he wasn't yet ready for the people he brought with him to be exposed too early to the powerhouses of the Primodial World.
Amid all the confusion, the 78th ranking had been revealed.
The next ranking returned to normal, and the treasure's owner was once again an old acquaintance from the Primodial World.
