Chapter 217: The Weapon List Begins to Be Announced!
Since the rankings have changed this time, those who previously ranked on the Body List may not necessarily make it this time.
The treasures in the Primordial World vary; those with virtue or destined ties may claim them. Therefore, the strength of a weapon doesn't always correlate with the strength of its owner. However, it's highly likely that the weapons held by powerful individuals are also strong.
For others, this is another opportunity. The Body List has already been dominated by previous winners, leaving no chance for the rest to catch up.
As the Weapon List is about to be revealed, all the Saints in the Primordial World have already fixed their eyes on it. Upon learning of the event, they were very excited, as they believed their weapons would certainly make the list, meaning they would also receive rewards.
The rewards from the Body List last time had already given them a taste of success, so now they were determined not to miss this opportunity.
Zhunti and Jieyin, both in the Western Paradise, discussed as the list was about to begin.
Zhunti said, "Although we might make the Weapon List, it's obvious that the treasures we hold aren't as good as those of Tongtian. I guess we'll still rank behind them this time!"
There was no comparison to the treasures of the Three Purities in the Primordial World. Last time on the Body List, they were overshadowed by the Three Purities, and this time would be no different. Though they were uncomfortable with it, they could only feel a bit of regret, as this list wasn't going to be favorable for them either.
Jieyin Buddha slowly said, "They obtained more treasures back then, and there's nothing we can do about that. However, the three of them are not united and are always fighting each other. So, even if they rank ahead, it's not something we need to worry about for now."
Zhunti and Jieyin had significant conflicts with the Three Purities, accumulated during the War of the Gods and the Great War of the Primordial World. But because Zhunti and Jieyin handled matters well, the Three Purities couldn't do anything about them, though they certainly harbored resentment.
As the list is published repeatedly, if the Three Purities consistently rank ahead, Zhunti and Jieyin will no longer wait patiently. The rewards from these lists are far too important. Even for Saints like them, using these rewards would lead to tremendous improvement, not just minor gains.
If the Three Purities continue like this, the two Saints of the West will be left far behind. When that time comes, it will be extremely difficult for them to face the Three Purities.
Zhunti said, "You're right. We shouldn't rush. Let's see how the Weapon List turns out."
Meanwhile, in the livestream, several people had already started heated arguments. Especially Sun Wukong, who finally found someone to talk to and was unwilling to stop.
[Sun Wukong]: This is great! It's actually the Weapon List this time! Looks like my Ruyi Jingu Bang still has a chance to earn me another reward!
[Erlang Shen]: You really think that broken staff of yours can make the list?
[Sun Wukong]: What's wrong with it? This is the Ruyi Jingu Bang, a post-heavenly supreme treasure! If my staff can't make the list, do you think your broken blade can?
[Erlang Shen]: My Three-Pointed Double-Edged Lance is not something you can insult so easily! You've experienced its power firsthand, and yet you dare speak ill of it here!
[Sun Wukong]: Nonsense! Back then, I beat you so badly you ran with your tail between your legs! My staff left you dizzy and disoriented—you're no match for me!
[Nezha]: You're all so confident. I just wonder if my spear has any chance of making the list.
[Sun Wukong]: No way! Your spear's not making the list. Better luck next time!
[Xuanyuan]: I wonder if we'll make the list again this time!
[Fuxi]: Last time, we three made it based on our sheer strength, but this time it's a bit uncertain. Among the three of us, only my weapon is considered a treasure, while the other two are somewhat lacking.
[Shennong]: That's not necessarily true. My Shennong Cauldron and Xuanyuan's Xuanyuan Sword have both been infused with Primodial Qi. They are innate spirit treasures, so even if they aren't the best, they should at least make the top thirty!
[Taiyi Zhenren]: That's not guaranteed. The Body List favored the physically powerful, but treasures are a different story. Sometimes, people with less power possess incredibly strong weapons!
[Ancestor Minghe]: The lower ranks aren't that important; it's the top ranks that are truly enticing. Undoubtedly, the rewards from this Weapon List will go to the Saints.
In the livestream, the speakers were mostly those who had been ranked on the previous list. Those not qualified to speak were closely watching the discussions.
Ancestor Minghe's statement struck a chord with those less powerful. Even if they were fortunate enough to possess a strong weapon, it was nothing compared to the weapons of the Saints and quasi-saints.
Nonetheless, the weaker ones now had a chance to rank. The rewards from the last list had made them green with envy, and this time, even a slim chance would satisfy them. After all, during the last Body List, they had no chance at all.
This ranking will be entirely different from the last, making everyone even more anxious. Even quasi-saints were wondering if their weapons could make the list and whether they could secure a higher-ranking reward.
As the list had not yet started, most of the discussions in the livestream were about various treasures and whether they had a chance to rank. Some were confident, believing their weapons would land within the top few ranks.
Since the list hadn't been revealed, they could boast freely. Once it was announced, however, those whose weapons didn't rank would be left speechless.
At this moment, Sun Wukong was the most exuberant. One moment he was claiming his Ruyi Jingu Bang could stir up oceans, and the next, he said it could reach the heavens. He even boasted to the Jade Emperor that he had smashed the latter's table with it.
However, few believed Sun Wukong now, as most thought he was merely bragging about his weapon.
With the attention of all, the moment of anticipation finally arrived.
[The Weapon List is now being announced. The livestream is no longer restricted; everyone may speak!]
