Golden List Live: I Really Can't Hide Anymore!

Chapter 319: Everyone Amazed!

Houtu was the last among the Saints to achieve sanctification, aside from the Grandmaster Xuandu. By this logic, her strength shouldn't be particularly impressive. However, her power stood out precisely because of her fusion with the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation are a fundamental part of the Primordial World, and by merging with them, Houtu's power saw a dramatic increase.

It's difficult to determine the exact strength of a Saint, as they rarely engage in battles. Saints, being at such a high level, could cause cataclysmic changes in the Primordial World if they fought recklessly. Consequently, the relative power of each Saint remains unclear. Each Saint has their strengths, but also areas where they fall short.

In a general sense, the strength of the Three Purities surpasses that of the Western Two Saints. Although Nuwa has not demonstrated her power, her vast merits make her someone no one dares to provoke. Annoying Nuwa could result in being entangled by karmic consequences—something even Saints would rather avoid.

Houtu, originally one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, was not as strong as other Saints. However, after merging with the Six Paths of Reincarnation, her strength skyrocketed. Post-sanctification, her power continued to grow, making it hard for the other Saints to gauge her capabilities.

This ranking of spells revealed that Houtu was no longer someone to trifle with.

Ye Tian had been observing the developments. Over the past fifty years, his strength had advanced further. By utilizing the rewards he had previously earned, he stabilized his power even more.

When the rankings began, Ye Tian paid attention. He knew that the lower ranks wouldn't include him, as his spells and divine abilities were exceptionally powerful and would surely place him in the top twenty.

As for the top three spots, he was confident he would dominate them. However, he was still curious about the lower rankings. Was Saint Hongjun overwhelmingly superior to the other Saints, or were the other Saints simply holding back their trump cards?

Thus, when the livestream began, Ye Tian closely monitored it. While the lower ranks didn't catch his interest, the later rankings garnered his attention.

Currently, Ye Tian was a Mythical Grand Supreme Golden Immortal. While his strength rivaled that of a Heavenly Dao Saint, he had not yet achieved sainthood and remained unfamiliar with the realm of the Saints.

For example, certain divine abilities unique to Saints were beyond his reach due to his lower realm. However, this observation helped Ye Tian realize that such abilities weren't crucial. The most powerful assets of a Saint were their main spells and divine abilities. Pursuing commonly shared techniques was unnecessary.

At the same time, this event expanded Ye Tian's horizons. The spells and divine abilities ranked on the list each had their merits, offering him opportunities to learn and adapt the strengths of others.

Most of Ye Tian's spells and divine abilities were his own creations. By gaining new insights, he could smooth out potential challenges in his future progress.

After a brief wait, the 23rd place ranking was revealed.

[Technique List: 23rd Place: Upper Purity Immortal Light]

User: Tongtian Jiaozhu

This placement made it even clearer that the remaining rankings would be dominated by Saints. Others simply couldn't compete.

Whether it was Quasi-Saints or Grand Supreme Golden Immortals, they didn't stand a chance. Their power levels were far too inferior to contend with the Saints, making it impossible for them to break into the rankings.

Tongtian Jiaozhu had already secured a spot on the list earlier. Now, just a short while later, he appeared again, indicating he likely had more rankings ahead.

Every Saint wielded numerous powerful divine abilities and spells. In such circumstances, how could ordinary cultivators possibly compare to the Saints?

[Sun Wukong: What is this "Upper Purity Immortal Light"?]

[Guangchengzi: It's a unique divine ability possessed by all three Saints of the Purity. While each of the Three Purities shares this ability, its effects differ. The Upper Purity Immortal Light focuses on calming the mind, stabilizing the primordial spirit, and enhancing strength with every use!]

The Three Purities had many such divine abilities, but only a select few were notable enough to rank. The Upper Purity Immortal Light was one such technique.

Immortal lights had varied and comprehensive functions, proving universally useful. However, to Saints, their significance paled compared to treasures like Tongtian Jiaozhu's Four Immortal Swords.

Even in defense, the Upper Purity Immortal Light couldn't compete with Tongtian's other treasures. Despite its versatility, it lacked standout features, which was why Saints didn't prioritize it.

[Erlang Shen: Every divine ability of a Saint is so formidable. It's no surprise they easily dominate the rankings. Saints like the Three Purities could effortlessly secure top spots!]

[Manjushri Bodhisattva: The strength of Saints is undeniable. Though we cannot match them, staying stagnant isn't an option. Becoming a Saint is exceedingly difficult, but striving toward that goal through cultivation is undoubtedly correct!]

[Sun Wukong: While that's true, there's an unfortunate aspect about this ranking!]

[Nezha: Oh? What's so unfortunate about it?]

[Sun Wukong: Don't forget, only one practitioner per spell or divine ability can rank on the list. Moreover, no matter how powerful someone's realm may be, their divine ability might not be strong enough to qualify. As a result, some surprising figures have appeared on the lower rankings.]

[Erlang Shen: Who could predict that?]

[Sun Wukong: The issue lies here: spells in the Primordial World are always passed down from masters to disciples. Masters inevitably surpass their disciples in cultivation. For disciples to rank with their master's divine ability is practically impossible. No matter how strong a disciple becomes, the master's skills will always overshadow theirs.]

This was a point Sun Wukong found particularly frustrating. No matter how much he wished otherwise, his master, Ancestor Bodhi, far outshone him in both strength and mastery of divine abilities. Sun Wukong's dream of ranking based on a divine ability was an unattainable one.

Many shared Sun Wukong's sentiments. The disciples of various Saints were all extraordinarily powerful, and the spells they cultivated were incredibly profound. Yet, these techniques were passed down by their Saints, making it impossible for them to surpass their masters.
