Chapter 347: The Creation Jade Disc!
As the central figure, Ye Tian had already spoken decisively, leaving no room for further persuasion. Moreover, his words implied a deeper understanding of the external world compared to others.
However, the group was more curious about the second reward. Compared to the Challenge Card, the second reward was expected to be of higher value; otherwise, it wouldn't match the level of the Challenge Card.
[Sun Wukong]: This first reward is already such a peculiar item; the second reward better not disappoint!
[Taiyi Zhenren]: No need to worry about that. Even if the second-place reward isn't as incredible, there's a baseline for quality. It will surely make us envious!
[Zhenyuan Daxian]: Still, I wonder if it can rival the Challenge Card's magnificence. That card alone has caused quite a stir among everyone!
Amidst the lively discussions, the second reward for second place was finally revealed.
[Technique List Second Place Reward: Creation Jade Disc!]
This reward needed no explanation; everyone knew what it was and its significance. Yet no one expected such an item to appear as a reward.
The revelation also highlighted how extraordinary the rewards for this ranking list were compared to previous ones. The prizes exceeded all imagination.
This led everyone to speculate about what the first-place reward Ye Tian would receive might be. Would it bring him an unimaginable boost in strength? While many thought the rewards wouldn't deviate much from the norm, the appearance of the Creation Jade Disc shattered their assumptions.
The Creation Jade Disc was a treasure of unparalleled fame in the Primordial World. Its rarity was such that even most saints had never seen it, though its existence was universally acknowledged.
Among the saints, one person was exceptionally familiar with it—Ancestor Hongjun. His rise to prominence was closely tied to this treasure.
The Creation Jade Disc contained the Three Thousand Great Daos, making it one of the most powerful artifacts in the Primordial World. Even if deemed the strongest treasure, few would object.
However, the Creation Jade Disc lacked offensive and defensive capabilities. Its value lay in its ability to grant profound comprehension of the Great Dao. It could even enable one to attain sainthood.
When Ancestor Hongjun became a saint, one pivotal factor was obtaining fragments of the Creation Jade Disc. These fragments allowed him to merge with the Heavenly Dao, significantly enhancing his power. Without them, his current strength would have been unattainable.
In a previous ranking, Ancestor Hongjun had obtained fragments of the Creation Jade Disc, greatly benefiting from them. But he never anticipated that this time, the complete Creation Jade Disc would appear as a reward.
This was not a fragment but the entire artifact. Seeing this, Ancestor Hongjun was puzzled. How could the Creation Jade Disc, which was already shattered, reappear in its entirety?
He held two fragments of the Creation Jade Disc in his possession. Upon the reward's revelation, he checked them, confirming they remained intact and unaffected.
This proved that the rewarded Creation Jade Disc seemed to be a separate entity. But how could there be two Creation Jade Discs when only one ever existed in the Primordial World?
Even with his vast power, Ancestor Hongjun couldn't fathom how another such treasure could emerge. The original Creation Jade Disc took countless ages and opportunities to form. It was inconceivable for another to appear silently.
Though confused, Ancestor Hongjun trusted the Golden List rewards' accuracy. This unique situation left even him at a loss.
Others were too excited by the reward to question its origins. Yet, some saints grasped the deeper implications and turned their attention to Ancestor Hongjun.
[Tongtian Jiaozhu]: Ancestor Hongjun, are the Creation Jade Disc fragments in your possession still there?
[Ancestor Hongjun]: They remain with me and have no connection to this reward.
[Yuanshi Tianzun]: How is this possible? Could another Creation Jade Disc emerge? The Three Thousand Great Daos can't exist in two places simultaneously!
[Houtu]: None of us can explain this mystery. However, one thing is clear—the rewards for this ranking surpass those of the previous ones by far. With such a powerful second-place reward, no one can complain!
Faced with the two rewards, Houtu could easily predict what everyone would choose. The Creation Jade Disc, with its reputation and utility, was undoubtedly the optimal choice.
Compared to the Creation Jade Disc, the Challenge Card seemed like an enticing gamble. One might be tempted to keep it out of curiosity about the strength of the opponent it would summon or the rewards for victory.
But ultimately, the Creation Jade Disc's unparalleled significance made it the obvious choice. As the second-place reward, it was already remarkably generous. Letting it slip away would be unthinkable.
While others marveled at the reward, Ancestor Hongjun felt a deep envy. His previous exposure to the Creation Jade Disc fragments gave him a deeper appreciation of its value than anyone else.
In the last ranking, he had eagerly chosen the fragments and benefited greatly. But now, the complete Creation Jade Disc belonged to someone else, utterly out of his reach.
Even if such a treasure were to appear again, it likely wouldn't be offered as a reward. This realization made his desire for the Creation Jade Disc feel even more distant.
For the first time, Ancestor Hongjun experienced intense longing. None of Ye Tian's previous treasures had evoked such envy, but the Creation Jade Disc was different.
He understood that when Ye Tian chose between the two rewards, he would undoubtedly pick the Creation Jade Disc, making it forever beyond Ancestor Hongjun's grasp.
