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

Chapter 315: The Disappearance of Quasi-Saints!

In the earlier rankings, individuals like Xuanyuan, who were Quasi-Saints with extraordinary abilities, could secure a place on the list and even achieve decent rankings. However, as the rankings progressed, this approach no longer worked.

As the rankings climbed higher, it became nearly impossible for Quasi-Saints to make the cut, especially within the top thirty. Only Saints could compete at this level.

The Saints dominated most of the top rankings. For Quasi-Saints—or even those below their realm—to seize a spot from the Saints was simply an impossible feat. To achieve this, one would need to possess techniques or abilities so powerful that they were considered unparalleled across the Chaos. However, very few Quasi-Saints met such criteria, and most of them had already appeared in the earlier rankings.

This was inevitable. The stronger one was, the more formidable their abilities and techniques. While the number of Saints was limited, the techniques and abilities they wielded were vast and exceptionally powerful.

Even if some Quasi-Saints had impressive abilities, they couldn't compare to the techniques of the Saints. Moreover, the abilities of Saints were far superior in terms of power and refinement.

Among the Saints, aside from the newly ascended Grandmaster Xuandu, who had been a Saint for only fifty years, the rest were immensely powerful. Each possessed several extraordinary abilities and techniques.

Some of these techniques were well-known throughout the world, while others were shrouded in mystery. In fact, some abilities were known only to the Saints themselves, with no one else aware of their existence.

Saints rarely revealed their techniques. Generally, only those of the same realm could have an inkling of their abilities. To weaker beings, the powers of the Saints were an unfathomable mystery.

The last time Saints openly displayed their abilities was during the Investiture of the Gods. At that time, most Saints were drawn into the conflict and displayed their powers. However, those who participated were primarily disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, and Laozi. Other major powerhouses unrelated to the conflict refrained from action.

Even those with considerable strength couldn't fully grasp the Saints' true abilities. Moreover, many participants in the Investiture of the Gods ended up on the Investiture of the Gods list, meaning they had perished long ago. Thus, very few people had witnessed the Saints' powers firsthand.

Additionally, the disciples of various sects avoided discussing Saints lightly. Saints could sense when someone spoke about them, so nobody dared to gossip.

As a result, the abilities and techniques of Saints remained largely unknown. Most people were aware only of the prominent techniques Saints openly displayed.

The current rankings offered an unprecedented opportunity to learn about the Saints. The previous two rankings had already revealed the Saints' weapons and physical prowess. This time, their abilities and techniques would also be unveiled.

For those with weaker strength, this was a rare chance to gain insight into the peak powerhouses of Chaos and their formidable capabilities. They could, at the very least, imagine what kind of strength the strongest beings in the world might possess.

However, even if these techniques were described, ordinary people couldn't truly comprehend their power. Such abilities were beyond their reach and imagination. Only those who truly wielded such power could understand its magnitude.

At this point, all they could do was try their best to learn.

Sun Wukong: "There are thirty-one rankings left. I bet each one will showcase unique and immensely powerful techniques. These are the strongest in the world. If only I could have one or two of them!"

Sun Wukong wasn't satisfied with his current pace of improvement. Although he already possessed several remarkable techniques, some of which had made it onto the rankings, he couldn't claim the rewards due to his master, Bodhi Ancestor. This left him feeling deeply frustrated.

Moreover, being suppressed under Five Elements Mountain prevented him from further improving his strength. Seeing such powerful abilities ranked so highly naturally sparked his envy.

If he could acquire just one or two of them, his strength would skyrocket. Perhaps he could even rival Tathagata Bodhisattva and finally escape from Five Elements Mountain.

But he knew these were just fantasies. The individuals on the list were all renowned in Chaos, whether Quasi-Saints or Saints, each more powerful and exalted than the last. With his current strength, even meeting them was impossible.

The only one he had any connection to was Tathagata Bodhisattva, who was, ironically, the very person responsible for his suppression. Thus, his hopes of improving his strength seemed dim.

Erlang Shen (Yang Jian): "You should learn to be content. With your current strength, appearing on the rankings twice is already impressive. Did you really think you could make it three times?"

Erlang Shen was somewhat envious of Sun Wukong. After all, Sun Wukong had appeared on the rankings twice, while he had only managed it once. Moreover, Sun Wukong's rewards were more substantial, enabling him to grow significantly stronger.

It was worth noting that Sun Wukong's overall strength was not particularly high in the grand scheme of Chaos. He hadn't even reached the Grand Supreme Golden Immortal realm. His physical body only achieved this level after receiving rewards, and his overall strength hadn't caught up yet.

If Chaos had a comprehensive ranking of strength, Sun Wukong wouldn't make the top 100. Yet, he managed to enter the previous two rankings, which could only be attributed to his extraordinary luck.

On the Body List, his ranking was due to the indestructible body he forged in Laozi's alchemy furnace. Though his realm was low, his physical body was exceptionally strong.

On the Weapon List, it was thanks to his Ruyi Jingu Bang, a treasure he had swindled from the Dragon Palace. The staff, created by Laozi for Dayu's flood control efforts, had ended up in the hands of the East Sea Dragon King, who used it to suppress the ocean.

When Sun Wukong came to the Dragon Palace seeking treasure, he managed to claim the Ruyi Jingu Bang after some struggle, leaving the Dragon King heartbroken. The staff was irreplaceable, and the Dragon King couldn't retrieve it unless he possessed a comparable treasure to exchange. Such a possibility was non-existent.

Lei Zhenzi: "The last ranking update was a while ago. The next one should be soon. I wonder what kind of powerful abilities and techniques will appear next. Let's broaden our horizons once more!"
