Chapter 255: The Question Card Appears Once Again!
There are countless treasures in the Primordial World. Many can enhance the physical body, some slightly fewer can boost the primordial spirit, but there are plenty that can enhance talent and increase opportunities for enlightenment.
The second reward came quickly. However, when it appeared, it caused an uproar because it was the reappearance of the previously seen Question Card.
[Third Place Reward on the Ranking: Question Card!]
[Question Card: A random question is formed in the livestream, and the holder of the card must answer it. If the answer is correct, they will receive an incredible reward. If the answer is wrong, there will be no reward.]
The last time the Question Card was used, its reward left everyone in awe. The reward for answering correctly was utterly shocking.
The Resurrection Card, which could resurrect someone who had died, had only minor restrictions regarding cultivation levels. Time and the presence of remains were irrelevant, meaning one could resurrect someone without paying any price.
The greatest beneficiary was Luya, who obtained the Resurrection Card and used it to resurrect Di Jun.
Thinking of this made everyone even more envious, but they were disappointed that the reward wasn't theirs.
However, the Question Card is a double-edged sword. If one can answer the question correctly, the random reward could be amazing. But if the reward turns out to be less favorable, it's still a possibility. The worst fear is that the question could be too tricky, and no one would be able to answer it correctly, leading to complete failure.
As of now, Ye Tian hasn't made his choice yet. Whether it will be the Heavenly Dao Golden Liquid or the Question Card, neither is an easy decision.
[Sun Wukong: I didn't expect the Question Card to reappear. I thought once something appeared, it wouldn't show up again. Is this an exception?]
[Taiyi Zhenren: It's likely that each ranking list has a chance for this kind of thing to appear, but it can only happen once per list. After it appears, that's it!]
[Erlang Shen: Even though the item has appeared, it's not certain that Ye Tian will choose it!]
Last time, everyone witnessed the power of the Resurrection Card, but opinions about the Question Card are still divided.
[Guanyin Bodhisattva: The Question Card is unstable. Luya answered correctly by chance last time, and he even had to seek help from Tathagata Buddha. If he had to answer alone, there's no way he would've succeeded. The Question Card is risky; choosing it could very well lead to nothing!]
[Guangchengzi: Don't forget, we still don't know where the Heavenly Dao Golden Liquid comes from. If it harms the Heavenly Dao, there's no guarantee it can be successfully extracted!]
The words of Ancestor Hongjun still echo in their minds. He places great importance on the Heavenly Dao and will not allow anyone to endanger it.
[Fuxi: Ye Tian just took a big risk by obtaining a fragment of the Great Dao. If he chooses the Question Card and gains nothing from both the second and third-place rewards, it will all be wasted!]
Fuxi doesn't believe that the Heavenly Dao Golden Liquid will need to be extracted from the Heavenly Dao. It's more likely that the ranking list already possesses this treasure and will issue it as a reward. This reasoning seems more plausible. As for where the rewards come from, it's hard to say.
The rewards from the previous and current lists include items that even these ancient beings have never heard of.
Ancestor Hongjun's anger stemmed from hearing that something was endangering the foundation of the Heavenly Dao, so he wishes to avoid any potential harm, no matter how small the chance.
[Tongtian: The temptation of the Resurrection Card is simply too great. Compared to it, the Heavenly Dao Golden Liquid, which only boosts the primordial spirit, can't compare!]
Tongtian greatly desires the Resurrection Card because many of his disciples perished during the Battle of the Gods, and if he had a Resurrection Card, he could bring his beloved disciples back to life.
But he seems to have forgotten that the reward from the Question Card is not limited to the Resurrection Card. The reward is random. While there's a chance the Resurrection Card will appear, it's small, and there's a higher probability of something else.
[Laozi: The Heavenly Dao Golden Liquid can enhance the primordial spirit, which is probably what Ye Tian needs most right now. In all other aspects, he's already very strong, and his primordial spirit might be the weakest part. Shoring up this weakness should be his priority!]
[Zhunti: That's just your opinion. Besides, you haven't even met Ye Tian, so how can you know that his primordial spirit is the weakest? Maybe his primordial spirit is even stronger than the rest. The Heavenly Dao Golden Liquid can only enhance it so much, but with the Question Card, if he gets lucky, wouldn't he be able to gain even more?]
[Houtu: Exactly, the Question Card is better. The Heavenly Dao Golden Liquid is far too conservative!]
Houtu, much like Tongtian, desires the Resurrection Card. During the Ancient War between the Sorcerers and Demons, many of her clan perished. She is the last of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and the sorcerer clan's strong fighters were almost entirely wiped out. The demons just resurrected Di Jun, making her envious as their strength has been somewhat restored. If she could get a Resurrection Card, she could also revive an ancestral witch.
[Jieyin: But even if he answers correctly, the reward is still random. What if the reward turns out to be mediocre?]
[Yuanshi Tianzun: Since when have the rewards on these lists ever been bad? Every one of them has been the most suitable for the person!]
[Jieyin: Choosing the Question Card is too risky. If he can't answer the question, then he gets nothing!]
[Yuanshi Tianzun: That's just your bias. Ye Tian has already gained so much from the rewards. Pushing himself further and breaking through is what's most important. Boosting his primordial spirit won't significantly increase his strength. Only with the Question Card can there be another opportunity!]
[Houtu: The primordial spirit doesn't matter. Ye Tian's physical body is already incredibly strong, so there's no need to enhance the primordial spirit further. From the last ranking, it seems Ye Tian achieved sainthood through his physical body!]
The sorcerer clan only values physical strength and disregards everything else. Ye Tian's powerful body has even earned Houtu's admiration, despite her status as a saint herself. She loathes the method by which she attained sainthood.
She has completely dismissed the Heavenly Dao Golden Liquid by now.
The two choices, compared to the first and second place rewards, are different. The Question Card requires one to answer correctly and then hope for a good reward, which is indeed difficult and involves some luck. The Heavenly Dao Golden Liquid can enhance the primordial spirit, but it's uncertain if Ye Tian needs it. Everything is still undecided.
[Ancestor Hongjun: What's there to guess? The choice will be revealed soon enough. Just watch carefully!]
