Chapter 223: The First Post-Heavenly Supreme Treasure!

No matter how many treasures Ye Tian possessed, before he appeared, no one could accurately gauge his strength or figure out whose side he was on.

With strength comparable to that of a Saint, Ye Tian was considered one of the most formidable beings in all of the Primodial World. Yet, no one knew which faction he aligned with.

He wasn't part of Buddhism, the Jie Sect, or the Chan Sect, and he had no connection to the Heavenly Palace. Naturally, everyone was curious about where Ye Tian stood.

Some even speculated that Ye Tian might be neutral, not taking any side. Hidden deep within the Primodial World for ages, no one knew of his existence until the ranking list forced his emergence.

If that were true, it would be terrifying. From the time Pangu split the heavens and earth, no one had heard of him. This would imply Ye Tian's ability to conceal himself was extraordinary.

Even the Saints believed that Ye Tian had to be from their era, as it was impossible for someone to have gained such power recently.

Great strength requires long periods of cultivation, and only during the great wars of the Primodial World could there be opportunities to rapidly increase one's power. Today, methods to achieve such gains are scarce.

In this era, the only one of the newer generation who could be considered powerful was Sun Wukong, but even with his strength, he was no match for the Saints. Even Buddha could easily subdue him, so Wukong wasn't yet among the top tier of the Primodial World's powerhouses.

Even Saint Hongjun pondered over Ye Tian's origins. Yet, no matter what divine abilities he used, he couldn't discern anything about Ye Tian.

He was one with the Heavenly Dao, and there was very little in the Primodial World that he couldn't comprehend. It was nearly impossible for him to be unable to calculate something.

Hongjun suspected that Ye Tian must not have been present in the Primodial World for long; otherwise, he would have found some information. What he didn't expect was that Ye Tian had actually crossed over from another world.

For this reason, they couldn't find even a trace of information about him.

Though Ye Tian's name stirred countless speculations and conjectures, his absence from the scene made all their guesses futile. And if Ye Tian had no intention of revealing himself, no matter how much they speculated, they would find no answers.

Fuxi: "Let's set aside Ye Tian for now. We've never heard of him before. If he doesn't show up, all this guessing is useless. Some powerful beings prefer to stay hidden, avoid the limelight, and not interact with others."

Sun Wukong: "Fuxi makes sense. We haven't even seen him yet, but you're all acting so scared just because he made it onto a few rankings. Have any of you done something you're guilty about to be this frightened?"

Guanyin: "Your comment is too one-sided. We're not scared because we've done something wrong, but because this person appeared so suddenly, and we know nothing about him. If he has malicious intent, we must stay alert!"

Ancestor Minghe: "No need to panic. With his strength, he'll show up eventually, and there will be people who will engage with him. Your worrying is unnecessary. It's better to focus on who's next on the rankings."

Ancestor Minghe's own treasures weren't particularly noteworthy, so on the Weapon List, his items only ranked at the lower end. He could only sigh due to the rankings, as these items were not his forte. He decided to continue watching and see what would come up in the next round of rankings.

After this brief discussion, the next weapon appeared on the list.

Weapon List No. 73: Vajra Bracelet, Post-Heavenly Supreme Treasure!

Owner: Laozi

Description: The Vajra Bracelet can capture all things, including weapons and tools. It is extremely tough and cannot be eroded by earth, wind, water, or fire!

Most powerhouses in the Primodial World knew of this item. Even if they didn't, as soon as they saw Laozi's name attached to it, they understood its immense power.

Laozi, one of the Three Pure Ones, was a Saint. It was no surprise that a seemingly ordinary object from his collection could rank so high. This was different from the shock they felt when Ye Tian's treasures appeared on the list. Everyone considered this normal.

As a Saint, Laozi possessed immense power and naturally had strong weapons. Additionally, Laozi was one of the best craftsmen in the Primodial World, with many treasures coming from his alchemy furnace.

The Vajra Bracelet was personally forged by Laozi. Few people knew that Sun Wukong's Ruyi Jingu Bang was also crafted by Laozi.

It was just that after Yu the Great used it to subdue floods, it ended up in the Dragon Palace by chance, where Sun Wukong later retrieved it.

When Sun Wukong saw this bracelet, he was filled with dread. It reminded him of the time during his duel with Erlang Shen (Yang Jian), when the bracelet ambushed him, leaving him dazed. After that, the heavenly soldiers captured him and brought him back to the Heavenly Palace. If he hadn't been hit by the bracelet, he might have avoided being taken back to the Heavenly Palace for punishment. Perhaps he could have escaped Buddha's suppression and wouldn't be suffering under the Five Elements Mountain now, alone and desolate.

Sun Wukong: "Why is it that bracelet again? Just seeing it gives me a headache, and to make things worse, it's even more powerful than my Ruyi Jingu Bang!"

Dragon King of the East Sea: "The Vajra Bracelet was crafted by a Saint. Of course, it's powerful. You should know that your Ruyi Jingu Bang was also made by the same Saint. And because you stole it, my Eastern Sea now faces massive waves every so often that I can't control!"

Sun Wukong: "Nonsense! What does my staff have to do with your Eastern Sea? What's mine is mine. There's no point in bringing up the past!"

The Dragon King was so infuriated that he nearly revealed his true form, but there was nothing he could do to reclaim it. Back when Sun Wukong was trapped under the Five Elements Mountain, the Dragon King even went to the Jade Emperor to plead his case, hoping to reclaim the treasure.

Unfortunately, the response he received was that it wasn't possible. Sun Wukong might be suppressed under the mountain, but since the one holding him there was Buddha himself, trying to take his treasure now would be seen as taking advantage of his misfortune.
