Chapter 214: The End of the Body List!
The rewards for all one hundred rankings have been distributed, and the strong individuals who received these rewards are very pleased, although some believe their rewards were not as good as others.
Nevertheless, everyone is quite satisfied with this round of rewards. After spending time using the rewards, their strength will undoubtedly see a significant boost. Some may even be able to impact the Three Realms, as the recipients of these rewards come from all walks of life.
Even though the rewards have now been fully distributed, many of these powerful figures remain somewhat reluctant to see it end.
[Taiyi Zhenren: The rewards for the Body List have been given out. I wonder if there will be a next time!]
[Chiyou: There has to be a next time! I reconstructed my ancestral witch body and saw a huge improvement in my physique. I could at least break into the top twenty next time. If there isn't another chance, that would be a real shame!]
[Erlang Shen: The Body List appeared out of nowhere, so if it disappears just as suddenly, it wouldn't be surprising. We still don't know how it came to be!]
As these figures continued to ponder what might happen next with the Body List, a new announcement appeared in the livestream:
[The Body List will soon close. Half an hour after, the livestream will also close!]
[The next ranking will be revealed fifty years later, when the specific list is published!]
[When the livestream closes, only those who are ranked can speak. All those who are not ranked will be banned from speaking!]
This announcement shocked everyone. Previously, many could speak in the livestream, but now, only those who made the rankings would have the privilege.
[Bull Demon King: It's over! We won't even be able to watch the spectacle, let alone speak!]
[Nezha: Your strength is too weak. Of course this would happen. If you had enough power, you wouldn't end up like this!]
[Lei Zhenzi: Now that we can't speak, I wonder if we'll still be silenced when the next list opens. If that's the case, it would be terrible!]
[Chiyou: This is great news! The weaker ones who have no real skills were always talking as if they were our equals. Now that they're gone, only the ranked experts will remain, as it should be!]
[Manjushri Bodhisattva: Indeed, there were too many speaking in the Body List, which disrupted the order. Stopping them from speaking is the right call!]
[Sun Wukong: Thankfully, I, the Great Saint, managed to rank ninety-ninth! If I had slipped two more spots, I wouldn't even be on the list and would have been stuck in silence, sitting alone under Five Elements Mountain again!]
Thus, the first ranking list came to an end.
After the conclusion, the number of speakers in the livestream significantly decreased. Most of the powerful figures went off to enjoy their rewards and had no time to boast further in the chat.
Previously, they stayed in the livestream because the rewards were being distributed, and they were curious about what others would receive. Now that it was over, there was no need to linger, so they all hurried back to train.
Only Sun Wukong remained active, continuing to speak in the chat out of sheer boredom, having been sealed alone under Five Elements Mountain. However, no one paid attention to him.
...
The sudden appearance of the Body List left the Three Realms puzzled. No one knew where it had come from, sparking curiosity among the strongest beings in existence.
These figures included the saints of the Three Realms—Nüwa, Yuanshi Tianzun, Zhunti, Jieyin etc. They were the only ones who truly needed to figure out its origins, as the weaker beings didn't even have the qualifications to approach it.
The saints wondered if the Body List could pose a threat to them, given how extraordinary its rewards were. Even if they combined their resources, they couldn't match the treasures it offered.
Nüwa had already approached Fuxi for answers, but though Fuxi could divine some of the mysteries of the heavens, he had no insight into the Body List. Even the heavenly principles were unable to predict it, so Fuxi was powerless.
Seeing that this approach failed, Nüwa consulted with the other saints, but they were equally clueless.
Finally, after their discussions, they decided to seek out the Saint of the Heavenly Dao himself, Hongjun, in Zixiao Palace. He was the strongest being in the world. If even he didn't know the truth, then no one in the world could.
Before Jieyin set out, he was questioned by the bodhisattvas and the Buddha within his sect. He reassured them not to worry and that he would address their concerns after returning from Zixiao Palace.
The powerful figures in the Buddhist sect could only wait, though they felt frustrated.
Especially the Buddha, who had been injured during his attempt to probe the Body List. Despite his strength, he had been powerless before it, and naturally, he was eager to know more about this mysterious list.
If even the saints had no clue and were forced to consult Hongjun, then this mystery must be incredibly profound.
While the saints were consumed with thoughts of the Body List, its top-ranked figure, Ye Tian, continued to cultivate in peace. After receiving his rewards, he obtained numerous treasures from the chaos.
He had vast potential for growth, and of course, he needed to remain in seclusion to train. The powerful beings had been perplexed when Ye Tian appeared at the top of the list because none of them had ever heard of him before.
Moreover, no one in the Three Realms seemed to know him either. How could such a figure, whose physical strength surpassed even that of Hongjun, be a complete unknown?
Unless, of course, Ye Tian was using an alias, and the Body List had exposed his true name. But that seemed unlikely.
In any case, Ye Tian's name left a lasting impression on them. However, the Three Realms were vast, and finding a completely unknown individual, especially one so strong, was akin to finding a needle in a haystack.
And with the perplexing mystery of the Body List, they soon forgot about Ye Tian entirely.
