Chapter 261: The Saint's Choice!
Although the reward for the fourth rank was about to be revealed, everyone's attention remained on Ye Tian. After all, the shock he had brought them was simply too overwhelming.
Even at this point, Ye Tian was still shrouded in layers of mystery. Everything about him was enigmatic, and no one could figure him out.
At this moment, a few lines of text appeared in the livestream:
[Fourth place reward on the Weapon List: Heavenly Dao Golden Liquid]
[Fourth place reward on the Weapon List: Chaos Spirit Treasure - Dragon Spear]
Since the fourth-place Saint Hongjun had more than one weapon on the list, his reward also included two options. The appearance of these two rewards brought a sense of familiarity, especially with the Heavenly Dao Golden Liquid. Initially, people thought that once an item appeared, it wouldn't show up again, but unexpectedly, it appeared once more.
Ye Tian speculated that perhaps because he didn't choose it, the reward for the Heavenly Dao Golden Liquid didn't vanish but instead remained available until someone selected it.
The other reward was unexpected—a Chaos Spirit Treasure. This was an incredibly rare and valuable item, even for the Ancestor Hongjun, who didn't have many treasures of this caliber in his possession.
[Sun Wukong: The Heavenly Dao Golden Liquid appears again! It seems if no one picks it, it won't disappear. If Ancestor Hongjun doesn't choose it this time, it might show up on the next person's reward list!]
[Bodhisattva Manjushri: The fact that a Chaos Spirit Treasure appears among the rewards is the most terrifying part. I feel like the fourth-place reward is better than the first three. Is Ye Tian just incredibly unlucky?]
[Ancestor Minghe: It's not as simple as you all think. If it were truly that important, how could this treasure only appear at fourth place? It must be ranked based on its worth, which is why it only showed up here.]
[Haotian Jade Emperor: Exactly. Chaos Spirit Treasures vary in strength. Some are powerful, while others are weak. Even though this one is a Chaos Spirit Treasure, it can't be too strong. Otherwise, it would have appeared before the third-place reward!]
[Guangchengzi: Although that's possible, Ye Tian isn't lacking in Chaos Spirit Treasures. The weapons he has are far superior. Even if it's placed in front of him, he wouldn't choose it. He'd definitely pick the other reward!]
[Sun Wukong: Chaos Spirit Treasures are incredibly rare and powerful. If it were me, I'd definitely choose it!]
[Bodhisattva Samantabhadra: Isn't your Ruyi Jingu Bang enough for you? You're dreaming if you think you can get your hands on a Chaos Spirit Treasure! It's beyond your capabilities.]
Sun Wukong could only fantasize about such things because, even if he obtained a Chaos Spirit Treasure, he might not be able to keep it. After all, his strength was only that of a Grand Supreme Golden Immortal, relying solely on his physical power. In the vast prehistoric world, many were stronger than him.
[Sun Wukong: I was just sharing my thoughts, not actually fantasizing!]
[Tongtian: Ancestor Hongjun's choice will definitely differ from what you all are speculating, so stop guessing randomly!]
[Nuwa: Ancestor Hongjun already has Chaos Spirit Treasures, and now another one appears. Choosing it would be redundant, but if he doesn't pick it, the Chaos Spirit Treasure seems more important than the Heavenly Dao Golden Liquid.]
[Laozi: I think the Heavenly Dao Golden Liquid is more likely. Its consecutive appearance in the rewards signifies its extreme importance. Since it's shown up in multiple rewards, it's clear that someone is in need of this substance.]
The Heavenly Dao Golden Liquid had never appeared before and was something that could harm the Heavenly Dao itself. Everyone was curious about how much it could enhance one's primordial spirit.
Ancestor Hongjun's thoughts were straightforward. Although the Chaos Spirit Treasure would be useful, he already had one in his possession, and it was stronger than the one being offered—his God-Slaying Spear was an extremely formidable Chaos Spirit Treasure.
If he chose another Chaos Spirit Treasure, it would be redundant. The one offered was too weak for him to use effectively, and if he picked it, the only outcome would be to give it to someone else, as it would be useless to him.
Such a wasteful choice was not something Ancestor Hongjun would make, so he turned his attention to the other reward—the Heavenly Dao Golden Liquid.
Ancestor Hongjun was also quite curious about the Heavenly Dao Golden Liquid. This substance was harmful to the Heavenly Dao, and its mere appearance was quite unwelcome. Without hesitation, after making his decision, Ancestor Hongjun chose the Heavenly Dao Golden Liquid.
This surprised the onlookers.
[Sun Wukong: I can't believe he gave up on the Chaos Spirit Treasure just like that! My heart aches!]
[Erlang Shen: What's the point of the Heavenly Dao Golden Liquid? How could it be more important than a Chaos Spirit Treasure? What's so great about increasing one's primordial spirit?]
[Tongtian: The Heavenly Dao Golden Liquid is extracted from the Heavenly Dao itself. It's not as simple as you think. Though Chaos Spirit Treasures are excellent, this particular one wasn't very strong, and there's still quite a gap between it and the Heavenly Dao Golden Liquid.]
[Daoist Randeng: Since Ancestor Hongjun made his choice, it proves that the Heavenly Dao Golden Liquid is a significant treasure, likely more important than the Chaos Spirit Treasure that appeared this time!]
[Houtu: The primordial spirit is something that can be taken or left, as long as it can keep up with the strength of the body. The Chaos Spirit Treasure is somewhat redundant for Ancestor Hongjun, which isn't great either.]
[Nuwa: The Wu clan doesn't cultivate the primordial spirit, but that doesn't mean everyone else doesn't need it. If a powerful being wants to continue growing stronger, they naturally need to improve in all aspects. This time, the two rewards—since the Chaos Spirit Treasure is useless to him—leave the Heavenly Dao Golden Liquid as the only viable option!]
[Yuanshi Tianzun: Ancestor Hongjun must have carefully considered his choice. Choosing between a Chaos Spirit Treasure and the Heavenly Dao Golden Liquid is perfectly valid, but either way, both have their merits.]
[Laozi: Ancestor Hongjun likely chose what was best for him. Since he already has a Chaos Spirit Treasure, picking another would be wasteful.]
Even though the saints were discussing this matter, they couldn't reach a consensus. After making his choice, Ancestor Hongjun didn't continue watching the livestream. Instead, he extracted the Heavenly Dao Golden Liquid.
