Chapter 321: Multiple Rankings!
At this moment, Ye Tian had yet to make an appearance, allowing everyone to feel temporarily at ease. However, no one could predict what would happen when he did emerge. Even Saints could not foresee his actions.
Ultimately, it was because Ye Tian's power was overwhelmingly strong. From the very first list, the information about him had demonstrated his unparalleled might.
[Sun Wukong: I know Saints are formidable, but I wonder if these rankings will reveal any divine techniques or abilities that will truly astonish us and broaden our horizons!]
[Erlang Shen: The most powerful techniques of the Saints are undoubtedly the ones with the greatest fame. Most of these are already widely known across the Primordial World. How could they possibly surprise you?]
Erlang Shen was somewhat annoyed by Sun Wukong's unreasonable remarks. How could the abilities of the Saints be so casually dismissed? Even the most ordinary divine techniques, as long as they were wielded with great power, could achieve top ranks and hold extremely high positions.
The Saints, however, completely ignored Sun Wukong. With their immense strength, they wouldn't even deign to speak to him. In their eyes, Sun Wukong was nothing more than an ant, unworthy of attention.
The Saints were well aware that those of lower realms, no matter how strong, were irrelevant. They only needed to focus on certain crucial matters.
Under the gaze of all, the 21st rank on the divine techniques list was revealed.
[Rank 21 on the Technique List: Shangqing Immortal Light, User: Laozi]
As expected, this rank undoubtedly belonged to Laozi. Among the three Saints, Laozi was considered the strongest, and the divine techniques he cultivated surpassed those of the others. However, in other aspects, he might be slightly inferior.
The Shangqing Immortal Light was relatively straightforward in its purpose. Given Laozi's focus on alchemy, this technique primarily served as a means of enhancing his magical power. It lacked significant offensive capabilities.
Laozi, however, didn't lack offensive divine techniques. He possessed a multitude of weapons and abilities, rendering additional support unnecessary.
As the name of the 21st rank faded, the 20th rank appeared. This, too, was unsurprising.
It was another Saint!
[Rank 20 on the Technique List: Bodhi Golden Body, User: Zhunti]
At this point, no one could unexpectedly break into the rankings. The Saints had practically monopolized all the rewards.
This rare physical-strength technique allowed Zhunti to elevate his physical body to extraordinary levels. He could even withstand attacks from multiple Saints.
Other Saints rarely cultivated defensive techniques, especially those that enhanced their physical forms, as such methods required immense time and effort. Saints, already burdened with numerous areas of cultivation, couldn't afford to master everything.
Naturally, they had to sacrifice some aspects. While Zhunti chose to strengthen his physical body through this formidable technique, combining it with his Heavenly Transformation ability to unleash immense physical power, it also left him vulnerable in other areas.
Even Saints couldn't avoid having weaknesses, as each had their specialties.
For Buddhists, in addition to valuing mental clarity, the physical form was also of great importance. As a Saint, it would be uncharacteristic for Zhunti not to cultivate such techniques.
The other Saints, however, did not pursue physical-strength techniques. They relied on numerous treasures to protect themselves. Without these treasures, even with enhanced physical forms, they would struggle to fend off powerful attacks.
Thus, while their physical forms were strong due to the heavenly blessings granted when they attained sainthood, they were no match for Zhunti's physique-enhancing techniques.
[Tongtian Jiaozhu: Zhunti's Bodhi Golden Body… I haven't tested its limits in a long time. I wonder if it can still withstand my Immortal Execution Sword!]
Tongtian Jiaozhu harbored animosity toward all Saints. During the last Investiture of the Gods, most Saints had ganged up on him, leaving a deep impression. Naturally, he hadn't forgotten Zhunti's techniques, as they had stood out even in those times.
Back then, Zhunti's formidable physique had allowed him to withstand disruptions within the formation. This alone highlighted his strength.
Now, however, Tongtian Jiaozhu had grown far stronger than before. His Four Immortal Swords had merged into one, achieving a terrifyingly powerful state. Without an opponent to test its strength, he had no idea just how fearsome his weapon had become.
Unfortunately, finding a suitable sparring partner was nearly impossible. If he fought someone too weak, there would be no opportunity to refine his skills.
While he contemplated, the 19th rank was revealed.
[Rank 19 on the Technique List: Primal Chaos True Energy, User: Tongtian Jiaozhu]
The name of Tongtian Jiaozhu, notorious enough to make children cry, appearing on this list was no surprise. His rank was undisputed.
This technique was versatile, capable of both offensive and defensive applications. When enveloping his body, it could withstand any force weaker than the Primal Chaos True Energy.
Compared to Zhunti's Bodhi Golden Body, these two techniques had their respective strengths and weaknesses.
While discussions continued, the 18th rank appeared. This time, the interval was so brief that many barely had time to react.
[Rank 18 on the Technique List: Mystical Seventy Transformations, User: Nuwa]
This technique had a grand origin, being one of Nuwa's most treasured abilities. It bore similarities to Sun Wukong's Seventy-Two Transformations, but only in type, not in specifics.
Many techniques of this nature existed, such as the Thirty-Six Heavenly Transformations and the Twelve Earthly Transformations, but none could compare to Nuwa's Mystical Seventy Transformations.
This technique could be considered the progenitor of all transformation abilities in the Primordial World, fully deserving its 18th rank.
