Chapter 186: Sun Wukong: So many powerful beings in the Three Realms?
[Body List Rank 100: Erlang Shen]
Seeing this ranking, everyone was shocked.
Nezha: What? Erlang Shen is a Supreme Golden Immortal who specifically focuses on proving the Dao through his body. Even the physical bodies of Grand Supreme Golden Immortals can't compare to his. How is it that his body only ranks 100th on the Body List?
Lei Zhenzi: Brother Erlang Shen is only ranked 100th on the Body List? There must be a mistake!
Sun Wukong: Isn't that guy Erlang Shen known as the number one war god of the Three Realms, and he specializes in physical strength? Yet, he's only ranked 100th? My body isn't much weaker than his. Does that mean my ranking won't be high either? Are there really that many experts with stronger bodies in the Three Realms?
Bai Ze: You youngsters, Erlang Shen is just a junior. Being able to rank 100th on the Body List is already quite impressive!
Sun Wukong: Who is Bai Ze? Speaking so arrogantly? He seems to look down on Erlang Shen.
Erlang Shen: Great God Bai Ze is just joking. I'm already quite satisfied to be ranked 100th on the Body List!
Ancestor Minghe: Back in the primeval era, a mere Supreme Golden Immortal wouldn't have even been qualified to make the list. If you weren't at least a quasi-saint, you had no chance. However, most of the powerful figures from that time have fallen, and there aren't many left. It's come to the point where even a mere Supreme Golden Immortal can now rank 100th!
Sun Wukong: Who is this Ancestor Minghe?
Nezha: Sun Wukong, your knowledge is truly shallow. You don't even know Ancestor Minghe?
Taibai Jinxing: To put it simply, even someone like the Buddha may not be able to defeat Ancestor Minghe!
Sun Wukong: Ancestor Minghe is that powerful? I always thought the Buddha was the strongest in the Three Realms!
Bai Ze: Haha, the Buddha isn't even ranked in the top ten of the Three Realms!
Sun Wukong: What? The Buddha isn't even in the top ten? Are there really that many powerful figures in the Three Realms?
Barefoot Immortal: Haha, the Great Saint Equal to Heaven has only cultivated for a short time and hasn't paid much attention to other matters. It's normal that you don't know the secrets of the Three Realms.
Soon after, the 99th rank on the Body List was announced.
[Body List Rank 99: Sun Wukong]
Sun Wukong: My body only ranks 99th? I'm not convinced!
Erlang Shen: Sun Wukong, your body ranking at 99th is already quite good!
Soon, more rankings were revealed, each one showcasing terrifyingly powerful beings from the primeval era, with the weakest among them being Grand Supreme Golden Immortals.
The list quickly reached the 50th rank.
[Body List Rank 50: Samantabhadra Bodhisattva]
Sun Wukong: Is Samantabhadra Bodhisattva's body really that strong?
Erlang Shen: Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is a late-stage Grand Supreme Golden Immortal, and the Buddhist sect places great emphasis on the body. He has cultivated the Buddhist Golden Body, so naturally, his physical strength is incredibly powerful!
Sun Wukong: Is Samantabhadra Bodhisattva really that powerful?
Erlang Shen: You monkey, your knowledge is too limited. You think just because you rampaged through the Heavenly Palace, you're strong? There are countless people who can crush you with one hand!
Sun Wukong: Why didn't I encounter any of these strong figures when I stormed the Heavenly Palace? It was only the Buddha who finally subdued me!
Erlang Shen: What do you know?
Haotian Jade Emperor: Erlang Shen, some things can be said, but others should not.
Erlang Shen: Understood, Your Majesty!
Soon, the 49th rank on the Body List was revealed.
[Body List Rank 49: Manjushri Bodhisattva]
Manjushri Bodhisattva: Hahaha, Samantabhadra, my body is slightly stronger than yours!
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva: Is this ranking accurate? We are about equal in strength, but I feel my body is stronger!
Manjushri Bodhisattva: This Golden List cannot be disputed, even the Buddha has no way to influence it. Many hidden primeval monsters have been exposed, so this ranking is absolutely correct.
Before long, the list revealed the 40th rank.
[Body List Rank 40: Guanyin Bodhisattva]
Manjushri Bodhisattva: I didn't expect Guanyin to only be ranked 40th!
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva: There are many strong figures in the Three Realms. It's not surprising that Guanyin is ranked here. After all, Guanyin is just a peak-stage Grand Supreme Golden Immortal, not a quasi-saint.
Guanyin Bodhisattva: Perhaps we can roughly gauge the strength of some of the experts in the Three Realms through this Body List!
Taibai Jinxing: Indeed, many immortals' true strengths will be exposed. And this is just the Body List. There will certainly be more rankings to come!
Sun Wukong: I truly am a bit ignorant. I didn't realize there were so many powerful beings in the Three Realms!
Next, the 39th rank was revealed.
[Body List Rank 39: Taiyi Zhenren]
Sun Wukong: Who is Taiyi Zhenren?
Erlang Shen: That's my martial uncle!
Nezha: Taiyi Zhenren is my master, and he's one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Kunlun. Sun Wukong, actually, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva were once part of the Twelve Golden Immortals before they defected to the Buddhist sect and became Bodhisattvas.
Sun Wukong: So that's how it is!
Afterward, the other members of the Twelve Golden Immortals also appeared on the list.
It turns out that Guanyin and the other two Bodhisattvas were among the weaker members of the Twelve Golden Immortals.
Sun Wukong truly gained some insights this time. The Buddhist sect is powerful now, and he had always thought Guanyin Bodhisattva and the others were quite formidable. He hadn't expected them to rank so low on the Body List.
Then, the 38th rank was revealed.
[Body List Rank 38: Chiyou]
Chiyou: Hahaha! I actually made it to 38th on the Body List. Not bad!
[Haotian Jade Emperor: Chiyou, you're still alive? Weren't you killed by the Human Emperor Xuanyuan?]
[Chiyou: Of course I'm not dead. As long as my primordial spirit isn't destroyed, I can't truly die. But I've been in a deep sleep for a long time, and I didn't expect the appearance of the Golden List to awaken my consciousness.]
[Xuanyuan: Chiyou, you're pretty lucky!]
[Chiyou: Old Xuanyuan, once I recover, I'll definitely seek revenge on you!]
[Taibai Jinxing: ???]
[Erlang Shen: ???]
[Bai Ze: I admire your courage, Chiyou, but you're only at the peak of the Grand Supreme Golden Immortal level. Do you dare to seek revenge on the Human Emperor Xuanyuan? Do you realize that after your death, Xuanyuan attained the Dao and became the Human Emperor, surpassing even Quasi-Saints? His current strength lies between a Quasi-Saint and a Saint, and with the combined power of the Three Human Sovereigns, they can battle a Saint. How do you plan to seek revenge?]
[Chiyou: Old Xuanyuan, are you really that powerful now? Uh, forget what I said earlier.]
In no time, the Body List announced the 20th place.
[Body List 20th place: Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva]
[Sun Wukong: Is Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva from the Buddhist sect really that strong? He ranked higher than Guanyin Bodhisattva!]
[Nezha: Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva is a Quasi-Saint-level powerhouse of the Buddhist sect, practically on par with a Buddha. His strength surpasses the Future Buddha and is only second to the Present Buddha, Tathagata, and the Past Buddha, Dipamkara.]
[Sun Wukong: I've learned something new!]
Next, the Body List revealed the 19th place.
[Body List 19th place: Bai Ze]
[Bai Ze: I'm ranked 19th on the Body List? Not bad!]
[Bull Demon King: Great Deity Bai Ze is one of the strongest of our demon clan and someone I admire!]
[Bai Ze: It's a pity that our demon clan's two emperors have fallen. Otherwise, they would definitely be in the top ten of the Body List!]
[Chiyou: Heh, among the Twelve Ancestral Witches of my Wu tribe, whose physical body doesn't surpass your two demon emperors? And they want to be in the top ten?]
[Bai Ze: Your Wu tribe's Twelve Ancestral Witches fought our two demon emperors to a standstill. In single combat, it's clear that our demon emperors were stronger!]
[Chiyou: But this list is about physical bodies, not overall strength!]
