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

Chapter 295: An Easy Choice!

At this point, even though Ancestor Minghe has realized his mistake, understanding he shouldn't have acted this way, it's already too late.

His actions here were witnessed by numerous powerful figures, and his obstinate, nearly fanatical behavior was recognized by others. However, because of Ancestor Minghe's considerable strength, few dared to say anything to his face.

But Sun Wukong, clearly unfazed, was the first to speak up.

[Sun Wukong]: "I said before that the first choice was inappropriate. So many people advised you, but you didn't listen. What's the use of regretting it now? That reward was wasted!"

[Fuxi]: "This was all fate. If it wasn't meant to be his, he couldn't have obtained it. There's nothing to regret. This item is an extremely rare treasure. Once consumed, it would ultimately convert into his strength. Although much of it would be lost in the breakthrough, some energy would still merge into his body."

[Luya]: "You don't understand. Ancestor Minghe doesn't need such things. His physical body is already powerful. Even with more enhancements, those capable of defeating him still could, and those who can't, still won't stand a chance."

[Nuwa]: "For him, this was indeed an opportunity he didn't seize. While it was a bit reckless, it wasn't wrong to try. But if such a reward appears again, he must consider his options carefully before choosing."

[Ancestor Minghe]: "Thank you for the reminder, Saint. I will remember it!"

This reward allowed Ancestor Minghe to realize that careless choices are futile; rash decisions will leave him empty-handed and invite ridicule from others.

Because of his formidable power, no one dared openly criticize him, though they were likely discussing him behind his back. If he made a similar choice again, he would undoubtedly face more ridicule. This taught him a valuable lesson—to choose the more certain option if faced with similar choices in the future. He would only take such risks if the chances were better.

A one-in-ten chance was too slim. Even if he were given another shot, there would be no guarantee he could succeed.

At this moment, he also recognized the immense value of the reward that Laozi provided. Grandmaster Xuandu had solely relied on having a great teacher to become a Saint; otherwise, he wouldn't have achieved that status. Even as the weakest Saint, he far surpasses others.

Although many felt Ancestor Minghe was overly impulsive, lacking rationality, the rewards continued to be distributed as the matter concluded.

[Sun Wukong]: "I doubt any similar rewards will appear again. The opportunity for rebirth has already appeared three times on this list. If it shows up again, it would become commonplace. Even with a small probability, it's unlikely to appear again!"

[Ancestor Minghe]: "With my example, even if it did, no one would dare choose it. Making that choice would only mean losing out on their reward. They would make the right judgment."

[Di Jun]: "If a quasi-Saint as powerful as Ancestor Minghe couldn't break through, one can imagine how challenging such a breakthrough would be!"

[Erlang Shen]: "But the next reward belongs to Yuanshi Tianzun. Saints have so many weapons, one after another; it makes us envious!"

[Bull Demon King]: "This is the privilege of the powerful. If you were a Saint, you wouldn't lack such powerful weapons either!"

Though the previous rewards were spectacular, and the subsequent rewards weren't as impressive, they still piqued the interest of others.

The reward for the twenty-sixth rank was announced.

[26th-Ranked Weapon Reward: Heavenly Thunder Sword]

[Innate spirit treasure forged from the first divine thunder of the Primordial World. Capable of cutting through all darkness in the Primordial World, it wields tremendous power but requires considerable magic power to use.]

While this item is an innate spirit treasure, its power is comparable to that of an innate supreme treasure, provided one has sufficient magical power to wield it to its fullest potential.

If an ordinary powerful being were to wield it, they couldn't unleash its full power. Even a Grand Supreme Golden Immortal would expend most of their power with each use; only quasi-Saints can unleash its full force each time.

Certainly, Saints could wield it without pressure, but to Yuanshi Tianzun, this weapon was insignificant.

Yuanshi Tianzun understood that the rewards would only worsen with each rank, and he already had little interest by the twenty-sixth position. One could imagine how unsatisfactory the remaining rewards would be. They might still appeal greatly to quasi-Saints and Grand Supreme Golden Immortals but were of no interest to a Saint like him.

The next reward appeared soon after.

[26th-Ranked Weapon Reward: Five Sacred Mountains]

[An innate spirit treasure crafted from the five massive mountain ranges on the Primordial World Earth, containing celestial energies, each strike capable of shattering the stars.]

This treasure was similar to the previous one in that it also required vast magical power to wield effectively.

The difference, however, lay in the weapon types: the Heavenly Thunder Sword was a sword, emphasizing speed, while the Five Sacred Mountains was a heavy treasure meant to crush opponents with force.

Though these two treasures had their flaws, they also had obvious advantages, capable of unleashing greater power than other items of similar rank.

[Guangchengzi]: "Though powerful, these two treasures are of little use to my master. He already has too many treasures and simply doesn't value these."

The Five Sacred Mountains closely resembled his treasure, the Overturning Seal. He understood the drawbacks of such items, but once used, they were unstoppable.

As for the Heavenly Thunder Sword, he could imagine its capabilities, though it was redundant, as Yuanshi Tianzun didn't need it.

[Sun Wukong]: "This is ridiculous. I only have one Ruyi Jingu Bang, and it's just a Post-Heavenly Supreme treasure. Yuanshi Tianzun doesn't even care about items of this level! If only I could have it!"

[Erlang Shen]: "Yuanshi Tianzun is a Saint; you're incomparable to him. You have no connection to him, so why would he give such items to you? Wishful thinking!"
