Chapter 361: Myriad Dao Suppressing Heaven Seal!
The Polaris Star Pill's effects far exceeded everyone's expectations. No one anticipated that it could enhance the physical body of a Heavenly Path Saint.
This realization made them understand they had underestimated the value of this celestial pill due to their limited experience and knowledge.
Once again, they had underestimated the products of the Golden List!
For Ancestor Hongjun, this celestial pill came at the perfect time. After merging with the Heavenly Dao, although he became a Heavenly Path Saint, his physical body had not been sufficiently strengthened by the Heavenly Dao.
His strength primarily lay in his boundless mana. After merging with the Heavenly Dao, his mana became inexhaustible and incredibly profound, with every gesture imbued with the laws of the Heavenly Dao.
Thus, the Polaris Star Pill was highly tempting to him, as it could compensate for his slightly weaker physical capabilities.
[Nuwa]: The Polaris Star Pill is so powerful that it can even enhance the body of a Heavenly Path Saint!
[Tongtian Jiaozhu]: This is indeed a fortuitous reward for Ancestor Hongjun, as he is in dire need of something like this!
[Dipankara]: This celestial pill is likely the reward he will choose. Even a Chaos Spirit Treasure cannot compare to it!
The reason for such certainty was simple: everyone knew that Ancestor Hongjun already possessed Chaos Spirit Treasures and did not lack weapons. Meanwhile, the Polaris Star Pill was exactly what he urgently needed.
[Sun Wukong]: That's right. At his level, a celestial pill that enhances the physical body is extremely rare. It's truly his good fortune to encounter it this time. If Ancestor Hongjun obtains this pill, his strength will undoubtedly increase significantly!
[Tathagata Bodhisattva]: While this may be true, if the second reward turns out to be extraordinarily exceptional, it might just sway his choice!
The first reward had already moved Ancestor Hongjun deeply, so expectations for the second reward were not as high.
Unless the second reward surpassed the first, Ancestor Hongjun was almost certain to choose the Polaris Star Pill. However, achieving that would be difficult, as there were very few areas in which a Heavenly Path Saint like him needed improvement.
After a brief wait, the second reward appeared.
[Fifth-ranked reward on the Technique List: Myriad Dao Suppressing Heaven Seal!]
When they saw it was merely a spell, most people laughed internally, thinking it would not disrupt their predictions of Ancestor Hongjun's choice.
In the vast Primordial World, what technique could possibly be worthy of Ancestor Hongjun's attention?
[Sun Wukong]: See? The first reward will undoubtedly be chosen. The second one is just a technique. How could it compare to the Polaris Star Pill?
[Houtu]: That's true. Ancestor Hongjun is the strongest being in Honghuang, and there's no technique he doesn't know. While he may not have mastered all spells, a mere spell as a reward won't sway his decision!
[Tongtian Jiaozhu]: Not necessarily. If this spell possesses heaven-defying power, akin to Ye Tian's abilities, it might stand a chance!
[Laozi]: You know such a chance is slim to none. Where in Primordial World would such an overwhelmingly powerful technique exist?
Even the Saints found it hard to believe this spell could be remarkable. They assumed only spells with heaven-defying power could attract Ancestor Hongjun, overlooking the possibility of uniquely specialized spells.
[Yuanshi Tianzun]: Let's not jump to conclusions. Let's see the Golden List's explanation of this spell!
Not long after, another line of text appeared, revealing the spell's description.
[A highly specialized technique that helps suppress everything related to oneself, stabilizing the state of mind. Requires a Heavenly Path Saint foundation for cultivation.]
The explanation was simple, so simple it left everyone in disbelief. Suppressing and stabilizing the mind? Such spells were as common in the Primordial World as the hairs on a yak.
However, they knew the Golden List would never issue subpar rewards. If this spell were truly inferior, what would be the point of anticipating it?
Furthermore, the spell's cultivation requirement was incredibly stringent—only Heavenly Path Saints could learn it. This alone proved it wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface.
[Sun Wukong]: What's the point of this spell? It doesn't seem particularly powerful. Ancestor Hongjun, as a supreme expert, has nothing to suppress and no inner demons to deal with. He certainly doesn't need such a technique!
[Erlang Shen]: As previously stated, if the second reward doesn't surpass the first, it won't be chosen. Perhaps it's my limited strength, but I fail to see any merit in this spell!
Weaker beings naturally dismissed the spell as unimpressive, but this was due to their limited understanding and strength, which prevented them from grasping its deeper potential.
Moreover, not all spells in Honghuang were purely offensive; some, like this one, had unique applications.
[Haotian Jade Emperor]: If this technique were so simple, its cultivation difficulty wouldn't be so high. A technique that only Heavenly Path Saints can learn is no ordinary challenge. In all of the Primordial World, only two beings qualify!
[Lu Ya]: Precisely because of its immense difficulty, I refuse to believe it's so simple. It must hold immense power, waiting to be unlocked by its cultivator!
[Tathagata Bodhisattva]: There's no need to overthink it. If it were truly extraordinary, the Golden List would have highlighted its advantages!
Buddha Tathagata firmly believed in the Golden List and its explanations.
The crowd debated the spell's potential power, with disagreements escalating into heated arguments.
While others argued, the Saints remained silent, contemplating the true nature of the spell. They aimed to discern what made the Myriad Dao Suppressing Heaven Seal worthy of its fifth-place ranking on the Technique List.
Yet, even at their level, the Saints could only see its surface attributes. If the spell truly only served to suppress and stabilize, it would hardly be worthy of such a high-ranking reward.
