Chapter 332: Heavenly Dao Divine Eye!

[Di Jun: It's all thanks to the Golden List. If it weren't for the images it provided, how could weaklings like us possibly witness the might of the Ancestor of Sorcery's techniques?]

If it were merely a fleeting glimpse, anyone who saw it could have turned it into a point of discussion. Unfortunately, everyone had witnessed it, and what it brought them was not just entertainment but a broadening of their horizons.

Even so, being able to see such a spectacle made them extremely thrilled. It was rare enough to see a saint, but now they could witness the ultimate techniques of the strongest beings in the Primordial World, and these were being performed at full power.

The Ancestor Hongjun showed no emotion, but he was puzzled by his own ranking. A technique as powerful as the "True Body of Creation" was only ranked sixth.

This wasn't just strange to other saints; even Hongjun himself found it incomprehensible.

While other saints speculated about Ye Tian, Hongjun did not factor Ye Tian into his thoughts this time. He had searched the entire Heavenly Dao yet failed to locate Ye Tian, leading him to suspect that Ye Tian might not be as formidable as the information suggested.

If Ye Tian truly were that strong, how could he remain in obscurity? Simply relying on his physical body and a few weapons could indeed elevate his power to a significant level. However, without superior divine powers and techniques, his full potential couldn't be realized. Furthermore, Ye Tian's current realm was still unclear.

No one knew Ye Tian's true cultivation level, so assessing his actual strength without seeing his true self was difficult, even for Hongjun.

No matter how powerful a physical body was, it could still be limited to just that—a physical body. The Primordial World had many who specialized in powerful physiques. As for the weapons, they only demonstrated that Ye Tian was skilled and exceptionally lucky, but not necessarily extraordinarily strong. This was a shift from Hongjun's earlier opinion. He now believed this could explain Ye Tian's continued absence from public view.

Perhaps Ye Tian simply lacked any significant divine powers or techniques. If Ye Tian could secure even one of the yet-unrevealed top techniques, it would already be commendable and a match for his current strength. However, if no divine powers of his appeared, it would prove that Ye Tian was a fraud, someone not nearly as powerful as claimed.

Of course, this was all speculation. The truth could only be revealed gradually through the announcements of the Golden List.

That said, Hongjun wasn't entirely out of options. He still had one incredibly powerful technique that he believed would secure him the top spot this time.

[Nuwa: Hongjun, what's going on here?]

Nuwa didn't say much, but Hongjun understood her question. She wanted to know why his ranking was so low.

Hongjun was equally curious but had no answers. Helpless, he could only shake his head.

[Hongjun: I'm not entirely sure, but I have confidence in my techniques. This shouldn't be happening!]

[Zhunti: Could it be the newly emerged Ye Tian? His strength has never been revealed, but judging by his aura, he's clearly a formidable figure!]

It was obvious that others agreed with this theory, as they all turned their attention to Hongjun, waiting for his opinion.

[Hongjun: It's a possibility, but only one among many. It might not be him at all. The Primordial World contains countless secrets, many still worth exploring.]

Hongjun's words plunged them into deep thought, though something about it still felt off.

After merging with the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun believed that nothing in the world could be hidden from him. Yet the Golden List repeatedly shattered his understanding, revealing countless previously unnoticed phenomena.

For Hongjun, the Primordial World remained the same as before, but the methods he employed could no longer be treated as universal truths.

[Zhunti: There's no rush. This is only the sixth-ranked technique. Hongjun Laozu has many more techniques. Securing the number one spot is all that truly matters!]

Zhunti's statement was correct but also highlighted the difficulty of the situation. For Hongjun, the unknown posed the greatest challenge.

Hongjun feared no one in the Primordial World, but this confidence relied on understanding his opponents. For someone like Ye Tian, whose origins remained obscure, Hongjun maintained a certain level of caution.

Unlike other saints who merely hoped Ye Tian wouldn't become their enemy, Hongjun needed much more than that.

After merging with the Heavenly Dao, he effectively governed its rules. The sudden emergence of Ye Tian raised countless questions: What was his purpose? Why was he hiding so deeply? And would he threaten the Primordial World or even the Heavenly Dao itself?

These uncertainties compelled Hongjun to act cautiously. Even if Ye Tian were merely a powerful figure hiding in the shadows, Hongjun could not simply ignore him.

The moment Ye Tian revealed himself, Hongjun would take action to uncover his origins, his cultivation level, and his true strength. He needed to determine whether Ye Tian posed a threat to his position.

As things stood, Ye Tian's physical body was already far superior to Hongjun's, and his weapons were more numerous and powerful. Coupled with the rewards Ye Tian had secured from his high rankings, his strength was anything but trivial.

The crucial question now was whether Ye Tian would appear in the remaining rankings. With so many entries still unannounced, it remained to be seen which powerhouse would claim those spots.

Amidst discussions among the strongest beings, everyone offered their opinions. Each perspective was different, as was their reasoning, resulting in varied conclusions.

At this point, only saints dared to speak. Even quasi-saints refrained from interrupting, and even the ever-talkative Sun Wukong remained silent, watching intently as the mighty figures debated.

Time passed quickly. When the sixth-ranked entry disappeared from the rankings, the fifth-ranked entry was unveiled.
