Chapter 374: Six Paths Reincarnation Spear!
[Fuxi: There aren't many rewards that can surpass the value of Ancestor Witch Blood!]
Although Houtu knew that Ancestor Witch Blood would be quite beneficial for her, she still hoped to exchange it for something else. While her physical body wasn't particularly strong, she had already become a Saint.
If Ancestor Witch Blood couldn't help her condense True Form of Pangu, then its value in terms of power enhancement wasn't significant. If it could, it would bring her a massive boost in strength. However, the likelihood of that happening was extremely low, so Houtu didn't hold much hope—unless she had a special way to increase her chances.
This was only Houtu's internal thought process, which others weren't aware of. On the surface, she appeared to need Ancestor Witch Blood greatly, but in reality, she didn't.
Her only condition was that the second reward had to significantly enhance her strength. Otherwise, she would still choose the first reward.
[Shennong: No need to rush. The second reward will be revealed soon, and I believe Houtu will make the best choice then!]
[Xuanyuan: This is the tenth-place reward on the ranking list—it should be something even better. Ancestor Witch Blood is already a great reward for Houtu as a Saint, but it doesn't seem to match up with the rewards given to other Saints!]
Xuanyuan believed that the top nine rewards on the Technique List were all far superior to Ancestor Witch Blood.
[Ancestor Minghe: If it were Pangu's Blood, that would be different. But Ancestor Witch Blood, even from all eleven ancestors, is still a tier lower!]
As discussions erupted, Houtu remained indifferent, waiting for the second reward to appear.
She didn't have to wait long before text appeared on the Golden List Livestream screen.
[Tenth-place reward on the Technique List: Six Paths Reincarnation Spear]
[This spear is imbued with the power of the Six Paths Reincarnation. When wielded, it amplifies the force of the Six Paths Reincarnation by tenfold. It also comes with the Six Paths Reincarnation Spear Technique, and a single strike can plunge enemies into the cycle of reincarnation!]
The Six Paths Reincarnation Spear was born from the essence of the Six Paths Reincarnation. In the hands of a suitable wielder, it could unleash tremendous power. However, without the proper synergy with the Six Paths Reincarnation, its effectiveness might not even surpass that of an innate spiritual treasure.
Thus, in Houtu's hands, the spear would be far more formidable than in anyone else's.
[Sun Wukong: This spear is practically tailor-made for the Six Paths Reincarnation! Only Houtu can truly unleash its full power. If it falls into someone else's hands, they might not even be able to use a tenth of its strength!]
[Taiyi Zhenren: Treasures like this are usually created alongside matching divine forces. But where did this Six Paths Reincarnation Spear come from? I've never heard of such a treasure before. If it was born within the Six Paths Reincarnation, then how did it end up elsewhere?]
[Guanyin Bodhisattva: This is the power of the Golden List. Any reward it grants could be something that has never existed before!]
[Guangchengzi: Now this is a difficult choice. Ancestor Witch Blood is undoubtedly important to Houtu as a Saint, but the Six Paths Reincarnation Spear's power boost is also remarkable. Choosing between the two won't be easy!]
[Haotian Jade Emperor: The Six Paths Reincarnation Spear seems stronger. It provides a more immediate and significant increase in power, whereas Ancestor Witch Blood requires time to refine and further temper the body. Besides, Houtu might not even need Ancestor Witch Blood anymore.]
[Tathāgata Buddha: Ancestor Witch Blood is the purest essence of the Witch Clan. If Houtu obtains the blood of the other eleven Ancestor Witches and successfully refines it, she might be able to turn the impossible into reality and manifest True Form of Pangu!]
[Queen Mother of the West: Manifesting True Form of Pangu isn't that simple. Ancestor Witch Blood is merely a fraction of Pangu's physical essence. If a small portion of it could recreate True Form of Pangu, that would be underestimating the strength of Pangu's body!]
[Erlang Shen: But Houtu is already a Saint. Wouldn't condensing True Form of Pangu be easier for her?]
[Chiyou: Pangu created the heavens and the earth, and his body transformed into the myriad things of the Primordial World. No other Saint has achieved such a feat. Only an immensely powerful physical body could accomplish that. The other Saints are not focused on physical cultivation, so True Form of Pangu is not easy to manifest!]
Even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, a Heavenly Path Saint, couldn't compare to Pangu in terms of physical strength. Pangu was the only one in the Primordial World who had attained sainthood purely through his body, making his True Form unimaginably powerful.
[Ancestor Minghe: Ancestor Witch Blood is already outdated. Houtu is a Saint now—why would she still need it? If it could directly help her manifest True Form of Pangu, then perhaps it would have been chosen. But since it's merely Ancestor Witch Blood, how could it compare to the Six Paths Reincarnation Spear, such a powerful weapon?]
[Luocha: How would you know what the Witches or Houtu herself think?]
Luocha was from the Demon Clan, so he naturally understood the relationship between the two choices. However, he didn't explicitly state his thoughts, as he inwardly hoped Houtu would choose Ancestor Witch Blood.
He knew that manifesting True Form of Pangu was not an easy task, and if Houtu chose the first reward, it would likely be wasted.
[Ancestor Minghe: Hahaha, whether I know or not is none of your concern. But if you don't believe me, just keep watching and see if I'm right!]
Once both rewards were presented, Houtu had already made her choice.
Although Ancestor Witch Blood had some value for her, as a Saint, it wouldn't significantly enhance her power. Therefore, she naturally abandoned it.
The Six Paths Reincarnation Spear, however, could allow her to maximize the potential of her strongest aspect, making it exactly what she needed.
[Houtu: I choose the Six Paths Reincarnation Spear!]
[Ancestor Minghe: I knew it! Houtu was definitely going to pick the second reward. Ancestor Witch Blood is practically useless to her as a Saint!]
[Chiyou: What a pity!]
Chiyou sighed because he understood that if all twelve Ancestor Witches' blood were combined in one body, it might allow the recreation of True Form of Pangu.
Unfortunately, Houtu had no such intention, meaning he wouldn't get to witness the rebirth of True Form of Pangu.
The Golden List had just distributed the blood of the eleven Ancestor Witches as rewards this time. There was no telling if such an opportunity would ever come again.
Houtu believed her decision was the most suitable. Even if other Witch Clan members didn't understand, she had no obligation to explain herself—she was a Saint, after all.
At that moment, Nuwa, who had been observing for a long time, remained silent along with the other Saints. Houtu's reward wasn't particularly exceptional, so Nuwa naturally hoped her own reward wouldn't be similarly underwhelming.
Not long after, the eleventh-place reward was announced…
