Chapter 248: Rankings Announcement Ends, Rewards Appear!

Everything stemmed from a lack of understanding of Ye Tian, leading to them being unable to imagine how Ye Tian had acquired these Chaos Spirit Treasures in his possession.

Yuanshi Tianzun: "Although his master makes us extremely curious, the most important thing is that the power of this Eternal Spear is too formidable. Even if it's a Chaos Spirit Treasure, it can shatter weapons of the same level!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva: "Indeed, the power is too exaggerated. I've never heard of weapons of the same level being able to easily crush one another. Usually, such results only occur when there's a vast difference between them. But even then, I've never encountered anything like this!"

Ancestor Minghe: "This weapon's strongest trait is its solidity. The fact that the Eternal Spear can destroy other Chaos Spirit Treasures and Innate Supreme Treasures means it has unmatched power in certain aspects. But we've never seen or even heard of it before!"

Fuxi: "My greatest wish now is to witness the Eternal Spear with my own eyes, as well as the other two Chaos Spirit Treasures in Ye Tian's possession!"

Zhunti: "As we discuss this here, he can likely see it all clearly. But I wonder if Ye Tian might be willing to meet us Saints."

Zhunti, having witnessed Ye Tian's immense power and treasures, wished to meet him. Zhunti did not want to make an enemy of Ye Tian, knowing full well that he could not be his match. With just the Eternal Spear alone, once unleashed, even Zhunti, a Saint, had no treasure capable of withstanding its might. The outcome would be obvious. Therefore, in the Primordial Era, aside from the Saint Hongjun, no one dared to oppose Ye Tian.

Even though Ye Tian had yet to make an appearance, the fact that his body ranked first on the leaderboard, along with the mysterious weapons in his possession, was enough to strike fear into everyone. Some had even started to admire Ye Tian. His strength was unquestionable. Even these ancient Saints dared not speak ill of him; they merely discussed who Ye Tian could possibly be.

It was clear that Ye Tian was not a reincarnation of any known powerful figure from the Primordial Era, which left his origins as a mystery. If the other Saints couldn't figure it out, they would remain uneasy. However, ever since the Primordial Era began, all powerful figures had been recorded by name. It was impossible for anyone to reappear under a new name. Moreover, the Six Paths of Reincarnation would not allow such a strong entity to be reborn.

In the end, Ye Tian's identity remained a mystery. No one knew who he was, but everyone wanted to find out. Still, this didn't prevent the Primordial Era's inhabitants from worshipping powerful figures.

Laozi: "Since Ye Tian has kept silent for such a long time, it either means he's hiding himself or he believes he's too powerful to bother conversing with us. Otherwise, with so many people discussing him, he wouldn't have stayed hidden in the shadows."

They could only infer Ye Tian's strength from these two rankings, but everything on the lists showed that Ye Tian completely surpassed them, making the Saints believe that his power exceeded theirs. The reason Ye Tian wasn't engaging with them was likely due to his immense strength, making him disinterested in conversing with those weaker than himself.

The appearance of the rankings had revealed almost everything. Once the rankings opened, everyone could see the discussions unless the list closed. Even those with low strength could speak freely. Ye Tian's continued silence could only indicate that he wasn't interested in interacting with others.

Everyone speculated that Ye Tian might be a reclusive powerhouse, hidden somewhere since the beginning of the Primordial Era, never appearing no matter the turmoil. This would be the only reasonable explanation for why Ye Tian possessed such a strong body and those Chaos Spirit Treasures. He likely acquired them when the Primordial Era first emerged, a time when even Saint Hongjun had not appeared.

This would also explain why no one in the Primordial Era knew of Ye Tian. It could only be because he appeared earlier than everyone else and hid himself sooner.

Everyone had their own thoughts, but most leaned toward this theory, believing that Ye Tian was an ancient, early-era powerhouse. In reality, Ye Tian was still in seclusion. The treasures and spiritual materials he had acquired in the Primordial Era were too numerous, and he needed time to cultivate them. Even when the rankings opened, he did not slack off and continued his training.

Ye Tian was fully aware that his strength in the Primordial Era wasn't invincible. Although his body was strong, there were many strange treasures in the Primordial Era. Only when he had cultivated all his abilities to their peak could he ensure his safety.

Moreover, the time between the two rankings was fifty years. For someone of Ye Tian's level, fifty years of seclusion was nothing more than the blink of an eye.

Jieyin: "The things that have appeared now are beyond our understanding. Could the Primordial Era be more complex than we imagined?"

Since the rankings appeared, several things had emerged that even the Saints couldn't fully comprehend. If this were true, then they, as Saints, had failed to anticipate these events.

Fuxi: "Let's wait and see!"

Sun Wukong: "If you all don't understand, why bother overthinking? Just go with the flow! Right now, the ranking rewards are about to be announced. Isn't that more important than figuring out who Ye Tian is? This is a real opportunity to increase our strength!"

The rewards from the previous ranking had greatly increased Sun Wukong's power, allowing him to break free from Buddha's seal and escape Five Elements Mountain, which had made him ecstatic.

Although the final outcome wasn't ideal, as he was captured again by Buddha and re-sealed under an even heavier Five Elements Mountain, the experience had shown Sun Wukong that if he could obtain another treasure reward, his strength could further increase, and he might have another chance to escape.

With all the rankings now revealed, everyone eagerly awaited the announcement of the rewards. Despite their inner turmoil, the excitement surged as the reward distribution neared.
