Chapter 221: Ye Tian Appears Again!

Chapter 221: Ye Tian Appears Again!

[Tathagata: It's one thing to be disrespectful to me, but if you show disrespect to such a powerful figure, no one will be able to protect you. If this person takes it upon himself to punish you, even if you are as tough as steel with an immortal body, you will still face death and destruction!]

[Haotian Jade Emperor: The Five Elements Mountain is already pressing on you, and it still can't shut your mouth. Looks like we shouldn't have just pressed down your body, we should've stuffed your mouth too!]

[Sun Wukong: Bah, you all just want to trap me!]

Sun Wukong had been speaking recklessly without any reservations. However, since he was already trapped by Tathagata and punished by him, even though he had offended some people, they hadn't bothered to take action. But now, things had changed.

Ye Tian's identity remained a mystery; no one knew which faction he belonged to. All they knew was that Ye Tian was a human, but even the Saint Nuwa, who created the human race, didn't know who he was. How could he possibly be in league with her?

Despite this, Ye Tian's strength was terrifying. Even Nuwa might not be confident enough to say she could defeat him, for Ye Tian had become the most powerful being in the Primordial World through sheer physical strength alone. No one could accurately gauge his power.

These saints were also unclear, but they speculated that someone with a body as strong as Ye Tian's must have an extraordinary realm of cultivation, possibly even being a saint they hadn't heard of.

This possibility was quite high. If Ye Tian indeed possessed such strength, then Sun Wukong's reckless remarks in the livestream might invite trouble for him.

Those in Buddhism and the Heavenly Palace had long had plans for Sun Wukong. Even after capturing him, they refrained from using cruel punishments, merely keeping him under the Five Elements Mountain to await the arrival of the Tang Sanzang (Golden Cicada).

Even if Sun Wukong offended someone, they wouldn't easily take action, since he was already being punished by Tathagata. Intervening might offend him further.

So, knowing that Sun Wukong's situation was already bad enough, they didn't want to add to his troubles. But Ye Tian was different from everyone else. His strength made him fearless before anyone.

It wasn't just Tathagata; even the Western Two Saints, Zhunti and Jieyin, wouldn't necessarily fare well against him. Even the Saint Hongjun couldn't say for certain who would win in a fight against Ye Tian.

In such a situation, if Sun Wukong truly angered Ye Tian, it was possible he could be killed outright. Although the chance of this happening was slim, neither Tathagata nor the Haotian Jade Emperor wanted to see it happen, as it would render all their efforts pointless.

Tathagata and the Haotian Jade Emperor had carefully planned things, and they didn't want any mistakes. Sun Wukong was a crucial part of their plan, a key figure in the Journey to the West trial.

If Ye Tian, in a fit of anger, decided to punish Sun Wukong, neither Tathagata nor the Haotian Jade Emperor would dare to stop him. If Sun Wukong were killed, their entire plan would fall apart.

So, at this moment, they had no choice but to stop Sun Wukong from speaking carelessly, urging him to be more cautious with his words to avoid bringing about his own destruction.

Since they had no idea what Ye Tian's situation was, it was better to be safe than sorry. After all the warnings, Sun Wukong became a bit more restrained.

It wasn't because he was afraid of Ye Tian. He had never even met Ye Tian. No matter how strong Ye Tian was, Sun Wukong wouldn't fear him.

Rather, it was because Tathagata had increased the pressure of the Five Elements Mountain, giving Sun Wukong a warning that if he kept going, even his mouth would be sealed shut.

At this point, Sun Wukong could only chat in the livestream. If his entire body were immobilized, he didn't know how restless and anxious he would become.

The ranking of this item merely reminded them of Ye Tian, but they still didn't know much about him. Therefore, they remained cautious.

As the rankings continued to be announced, they turned their attention back to the latest rankings.

[Weapon List, 75th place: Angel's Staff, a Postnatal Supreme Merit Treasure!]

[Owner: Ye Tian]

[The Angel's Staff can resurrect humans whose souls have not dissipated, no matter how they died. It can also heal any injury, including damage to the soul!]

Now, everyone was even more puzzled. Ye Tian's strength was undeniable, but no one knew much about his background. Many powerful beings had assumed that Ye Tian had no more treasures worthy of the rankings, and their reasoning seemed logical. Most people believed it.

However, before long, another of Ye Tian's items appeared in the rankings.

Though this ranking wasn't particularly high, two treasures in a row belonging to the same person inevitably sparked jealousy, especially since Ye Tian was still young, making their feelings even more complicated.

However, others also noticed the name of this weapon—Angel's Staff. This was a very rare name. There were countless treasures in the Primordial World, but one with such a name was exceedingly rare.

Moreover, the unique abilities of this treasure further convinced everyone that Ye Tian was indeed a human cultivator. A treasure capable of resurrecting humans was incredibly rare.

Furthermore, this weapon had little offensive power and was more of a support tool. But for Ye Tian to possess such an unusual weapon only made people more curious about his origins.

[Taiyi Zhenren: I never expected him to have so many treasures. There are still more treasures of his that made the rankings!]

[Ancestor Minghe: It's certainly unexpected. The treasures on this list, we've never even heard of them. We don't know where they came from, and how Ye Tian acquired them is a big mystery!]

[Manjushri: That may be true, but two treasures in a row on the list still reflect his deep reserves. We don't know if Ye Tian has any more treasures, but if he does, that would be truly astonishing!]

[Lu Ya: Indeed, Ye Tian's appearance is truly strange, and his weapons are equally bizarre. How exactly did he obtain them?]

[Kong Xuan: If he wielded some powerful treasures, we wouldn't be so concerned. But the treasures in his possession are ones we've never even heard of, and we don't know where he found them!]

Ye Tian's appearance on the list once again caught everyone off guard. The only relief was that both of his treasures were ranked relatively low. Even though they made the list, they weren't particularly powerful.
