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

Chapter 290: The Art of Ten Thousand Prisons!

When the Void Wind Cup first appeared, the response from everyone was unique. It was neither praised nor criticized, but rather received with a lot of puzzlement. The rewards from the Golden List had always been incredibly useful, but this particular item seemed different. Some speculated that it might have been given because Tongtian Jiaozhu had already received so many rewards that the Golden List no longer wished to grant him anything too powerful, so this was all they could offer.

Chiyou: "What an interesting item! This seems like it would be amusing to use when bored. Just toss various things in and see what strange winds come out—it's perfect for some entertainment!"

Though Chiyou made this remark in jest, many took it seriously and felt somewhat annoyed. After all, Golden List rewards are usually quite significant and can often greatly enhance one's abilities.

The item's function was unpredictable, and its potential remained unknown. Even Tongtian Jiaozhu, if he were to take it back, would probably treat it as just another piece in his collection rather than something to wield in battle.

Sun Wukong: "This thing is just a trinket. Although it's an innate spirit treasure, it likely can't match my Ruyi Jingu Bang. It may look powerful, but who has time in battle to throw things into it and wait for it to blow wind?"

Erlang Shen: "You're right. It might look intimidating, but it's hard to gauge its usefulness since we don't know how it works. Unless one gets a chance to use it in their lifetime, no one will know its true potential."

Nezha: "But let's not forget, it is still an innate spirit treasure, unlike your Ruyi Jingu Bang, which is a postnatal treasure. If it happens to produce powerful winds, what then? Remember, this item doesn't require any magical energy to activate—it can unleash its power without effort!"

This innate spirit treasure was indeed unique. According to Nezha, even an ordinary person could theoretically wield it, as it only required the right materials to be used. His comparison, however, left Sun Wukong visibly irritated. The Ruyi Jingu Bang was his only ranked treasure, yet it seemed inferior to this reward, even though the item appeared trivial.

However, Nezha wasn't completely wrong. The Void Wind Cup was an innate spirit treasure, and it was unlikely to be entirely useless. Tongtian Jiaozhu, though, felt a bit troubled since he couldn't try it out himself. Relying solely on the Golden List's information and its ranking made the decision difficult.

In any case, it was only the first reward, and he decided to wait and see what the second reward would be.

Golden List Weapon List, Reward for Rank 24: Art of Ten Thousand Prisons

"Upon mastery, this sealing technique allows one to easily imprison a Grand Supreme Golden Immortal. When perfected, it can even confine a Quasi-Saint!"

As expected, the Wood Spirit Pearl didn't appear, giving Tongtian Jiaozhu a sense of relief since it confirmed he hadn't made the wrong choice earlier. Even if the Wood Spirit Pearl had appeared, Tongtian had long since come to terms with the fact that it wasn't his fate to acquire the Five Spirit Pearls.

He was grateful he hadn't made a rash decision because if he had chosen the Five Spirit Pearl, he'd be stuck lamenting over the four pearls he'd already collected.

The Art of Ten Thousand Prisons was an extraordinary skill. In the vast primordial world, such sealing techniques were rare, and even fewer individuals had the strength to use them to restrain others. Many immediately thought of the Buddha Tathagata, who had twice sealed Sun Wukong, the disruptive monkey, beneath the Five Elements Mountain.

Although Sun Wukong had escaped the first time due to circumstances outside of Tathagata's control, the second time he wasn't as fortunate and found himself more securely bound under the mountain.

However, even the Buddha's sealing ability had its limitations, as it could at most confine a Grand Supreme Golden Immortal. No matter the preparation, going beyond that was impossible for him.

The Buddha didn't worry too much about Sun Wukong escaping since the monkey's power had advanced significantly, but a leap to the Quasi-Saint level would require a long time to bridge. Even with a reward from the Golden List, it was unlikely that Sun Wukong could instantly reach that level.

Thus, he could only wait patiently under the Five Elements Mountain for his destined savior.

The Art of Ten Thousand Prisons, though, exceeded even the Buddha's technique. Once cultivated to the highest level, it could imprison a Quasi-Saint, which was terrifying. Only the Saints would be immune to this technique in all of the primordial world. Even Tathagata himself would be powerless before it.

Seeing this technique, Tathagata felt a bit uneasy, for who would have expected the Golden List to offer such a reward? Sealing techniques typically lack direct combat potential, and with Tongtian Jiaozhu's immense strength, it seemed unnecessary. In a real battle, such a technique might not even be relevant to him.

Sun Wukong: "Unbelievable! Another one of these? Just seeing this ticks me off, especially since I'm still stuck under that old geezer Tathagata's mountain!"
