Chapter 117: The Power List Number One is Announced!

Chapter 117: The Power List Number One is Announced!

In the Golden List Livestream Room.

The number one faction on the ranking was finally revealed. The screen displayed countless individuals, all dressed in black robes, exuding an air of mystery.

Among them were characters like Octopus sensei, Kumoko, Fox Spirit Yaya, Red Lotus Godzilla, Garaga, and Fox Spirit Rongrong.

[Powe List Number One: Underground Black Market. Possesses multiple Six Paths level powerhouses, more than a dozen Super Kage-level elites, numerous Kage-level experts, and hundreds of thousands of ordinary people.]

Everyone was stunned upon seeing this ranking.

The number one faction was actually the Underground Black Market. They were no strangers to this organization. Many ninjas had visited the underground black market, and to be precise, many countries had their own black markets.

For example, items that were difficult to handle could be taken to the underground black market, where no questions were asked about identity or background. As long as the item was valuable, they would take it.

Moreover, rare treasures sometimes surfaced there, and auctions were frequently held.

Participating in these auctions was a favorite pastime for many ninjas, as they might stumble upon items they desperately needed.

[Kakuzu: The Underground Black Market is the number one faction? I always thought it was just convenient for handling all sorts of items and attending various auctions. It's just a pity that it was too expensive. I never dared to stay too long in the Underground Black Market for fear of spending all my money!]

[Hidan: That's true. The Underground Black Market is pretty great, especially after the revamp ten years ago. Now we know, it was Ye Tian who established it. And it's so powerful, too! It's unbelievable!]

[Tsunade: These Six Paths level powerhouses are probably just figureheads, right? Like Fox Spirit Rongrong, appearing in two different factions—are people allowed to join two factions at once?]

[Inoichi Yamanaka: It should be allowed. For example, some of our Yamanaka clan members are in the Root organization, but they still belong to the Yamanaka clan. So they are counted in both factions.]

[Fourth Raikage: The Underground Black Market, Ninja Guild, and Mercenary Guild—these three factions under Ye Tian's control are terrifying. But Ye Tian himself isn't included in any of them!]

[Kakashi: Ye Tian probably acts as a hands-off manager, which is why he's not listed among those factions.]

[Third Tsuchikage: Haha, it doesn't affect him receiving rewards at all. The rewards these factions earn are surely falling into Ye Tian's hands. Would they dare keep them from him?]

[Naruto Uzumaki: The waters in the ninja world run deep. I didn't even know there were these three terrifying factions!]

[Jiraiya: Naruto, it's not just you. Even with all my experience, I didn't see this coming either!]

"Master let me put my name under the Underground Black Market, and now I've ended up as part of the number one faction!"

Garaga exclaimed excitedly.

Kumoko teased, "Garaga, you're just one of many names on that list. You're only a figurehead. How many times have you even been to the Underground Black Market? No one there knows who you are! I, on the other hand, used to go there often, and I sent a lot of stuff to be processed through the black market. I'm the real boss of the Underground Black Market!"

"Kumoko Sister is right, but I'm satisfied. At least I'm part of the number one faction, and I contributed!" Garaga replied.

Rongrong commented, "Master's three factions have been exposed. The people in the ninja world will be even more wary of Master now!"

"Let them be wary. What can they do to Master?"

Garaga said confidently.

Rongrong added, "They might not be able to threaten Master, but if they create some minor troubles, it could be annoying!"

Garaga quickly pledged loyalty, "If anyone dares to bother Master, I'll crush them!"

Before long, the faction ranking rewards began to be distributed. Everyone eagerly watched the livestream, as this was the moment they were most looking forward to.

The factions that made it onto the list were also curious about what the rewards would be.

They hoped for treasures that could benefit many people; otherwise, only a few would gain anything.

Amidst the anticipation of countless viewers, the reward for the number one faction was finally revealed.

Buzz!!!!

A treasure appeared on the screen, but it was just a single item.

"There's only one treasure. It seems it's not meant for an individual but for the entire faction. Since this is the first time the faction has been listed, there's only one treasure."

Ye Tian murmured.

[Fourth Raikage: Just one treasure? I thought there would be two, so we could choose between them!]

[Gaara: If there's only one treasure, it's all down to luck. If you get something you don't need, there's nothing you can do!]

[Tsunade: The worst-case scenario is getting a Question and Answer Card. That would be awful! Q&A Cards are the worst!]

[Hiashi Hyuga: I just hope our Hyuga clan doesn't get a Q&A Card or something similar!]

At this moment, the livestream screen fully revealed the treasure.

It was a golden road!

[Path of Inquiry: One of the treasures crafted by a supreme power. Walking the Path of Inquiry will present various trials. Passing the tests will yield benefits. If one reaches the end, their physical body will be baptized by the power of the Heavenly Dao.]

Upon seeing this reward, Ye Tian was visibly moved.

"The Path of Inquiry... Although I'm not sure of its full value, any treasure crafted by a supreme power must be incredibly valuable. And to have one's body baptized by the power of the Heavenly Dao at the end—that value is immense!"

Ye Tian was thrilled.

This reward was indeed extraordinarily precious, likely far surpassing previous rewards.

Of course, the real value of this treasure lay in its potential to benefit many people. If it were for just one person, the value wouldn't be as exaggerated.

"Wow, everyone can walk the Path of Inquiry. Can I go in too? I wonder what benefits I'll get. As for reaching the end, I won't hold out too much hope!" Kumoko said.

"Master, with the Path of Inquiry, our strength can greatly improve. Many people from Master's three factions can also use it to boost their power!" Rongrong said.

"Indeed, this reward is quite suitable for a faction."

Ye Tian responded.

Of course, he didn't let the Underground Black Market immediately claim the reward, as they hadn't yet found the right place to set up the Path of Inquiry. Once everything was ready, they would retrieve the treasure.

In short, the higher-ups of the Underground Black Market needed to click the retrieval button together to fully claim the reward. One person alone couldn't do it!

This was to prevent someone from running off with the treasure and betraying the faction, which would be quite ridiculous!

[Fourth Raikage: The Path of Inquiry sounds like a high-level treasure, and it's suitable for many people. Everyone can take the trials and gain benefits. For a faction, its value is enormous!]

[Mei Terumi: If the reward for the number one faction is suitable for many people, could the upcoming rewards also be like this?]

[Tsunade: That's very possible. Since the faction ranking involves multiple people, a single-person reward wouldn't be ideal. If it benefits many, it's more reasonable!]

[Shikamaru Nara: That means I also have a chance to gain something!]

[Killer Bee: I hope the reward I get can help me reach the true Super Kage level!]

[Fourth Raikage: I don't ask for much—just to reach the Six Paths level!]

"The reward is pretty good. I hope I can get a reward that helps me break through to the Six Paths level!"

Otsutsuki Toneri said.

Almost everyone in each faction was eager to receive a great reward that suited them and could be shared by all.

Otherwise, with a single-person reward, only the leader would benefit.

Soon, the reward for the second-place faction was about to be announced.

Buzz!!!

A massive tree appeared on the screen, towering and emanating a special aura.

[Tree of Enlightenment: Within a one-mile radius of the Tree of Enlightenment, one's comprehension ability is greatly enhanced. This allows for the rapid mastery of any technique or the swift creation of new ones.]

"The Tree of Enlightenment—what an excellent reward!"

Ye Tian's heart stirred.

Enhancing comprehension and allowing many people to increase their understanding, with the benefit being continuous—just this alone made the Tree of Enlightenment far more valuable than an Enlightenment Fruit.

Of course, the improvement in comprehension wouldn't be too extreme, but it would last much longer.

For Ye Tian, the Tree of Enlightenment held no value as he could use his deduction system to deduce any technique, rendering the tree useless to him. However, to Kumoko and her companions, the Tree of Enlightenment was immensely valuable. For ordinary ninjas, the Tree of Enlightenment was practically a divine tree!

"The Tree of Enlightenment, what a treasure! I was envious when Beerus obtained the Enlightenment Fruit, and now, we have the Tree of Enlightenment. Although it's a reward for the second place on the power list, everyone can cultivate under it!" Kumoko said.

"Yes, everyone can cultivate under it!" Ye Tian nodded.

"Master, I want to cultivate there too and comprehend the Tree of Enlightenment!" Garaga immediately expressed his desire.
