Chapter 069: Astonishing Rewards, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's Dilemma!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the rewards for the first place on the Dōjutsu Ranking appeared in the livestream room.
Since Ye Tian had ranked multiple times, the reward for first place would include two items from which he could choose one.
Buzz!!!
Two items gradually appeared in the livestream room.
The first item was a peach, plump and tempting, as though begging to be devoured in one bite.
[Millennium Peach: Eating one can increase your lifespan by 10,000 years, and significantly boost your senjutsu chakra.]
The second item was a drop of blood, though it seemed to contain the power of an entire blood ocean.
[Great Witch's Essence Blood: Can greatly enhance physical attributes!]
The appearance of these two items in the broadcast sparked heated discussion among the viewers.
[Third Tsuchikage: What on earth is Great Witch's Essence Blood? I've never heard of it! But this Millennium Peach is amazing—one peach adds 10,000 years to your life! If it were me, I'd definitely pick the Millennium Peach!]
[Fourth Raikage: This peach seems better than the Millennium Dragon Essence, which was the first prize on the Taijutsu Ranking. That only increased your lifespan by 1,000 years!]
[Third Hokage: You can't compare them like that. The lifespan increase from the Millennium Dragon Essence is secondary; its primary value is in refining the body. The Millennium Peach mainly increases lifespan, with chakra enhancement being secondary, and it can't refine the body! So it's hard to judge which is more valuable.]
[Mei Terumi: True, for some people, the peach's lifespan extension isn't that valuable, like for Kaguya Ōtsutsuki or those who have special methods to extend their life. They can already live for a long time, so they don't crave longevity as much.]
[Orochimaru: Exactly, for some, the peach isn't that valuable. I can swap bodies repeatedly and live for a long time. But if I got the Millennium Peach, I'd still eat it, since body-swapping is quite troublesome, and who knows how long I can live anyway.]
[White Snake Sage: If it were me, I'd choose the Great Witch's Essence Blood. Who knows how long one can live? Without strength, even a long life is pointless because you'd still be killed. But Great Witch's Essence Blood should greatly boost your power, and with more power, you have a better chance of making the ranking again.]
[Great Toad Sage: I'm not into fighting, so I prefer the Millennium Peach. Living over 10,000 years would be wonderful!]
[Madara Uchiha: Lifespan is meaningless; power is everything. If you can overwhelm everyone else, even with limited lifespan, you can always find ways to extend it. With no regard for pride or ethics, you could even resurrect yourself and live forever. So treasures that enhance power are more valuable!]
[Hashirama Senju: I'd go for lifespan. If I'd had more life back then, I wouldn't have died from depleted vitality. But given Ye Tian's style, I bet he'll choose the Great Witch's Essence Blood.]
[Kakashi: The First Hokage has a point. I also think Ye Tian will choose the Great Witch's Essence Blood!]
"Master, which one will you choose?" Kumoko asked curiously.
Ye Tian pondered briefly and said, "The Millennium Peach is indeed excellent, but I don't lack ways to extend my lifespan. Even though the shinobi world imposes a limit on human lifespan, I have various means to break through that limit, so the peach isn't that valuable to me. As for increasing senjutsu chakra, I already have plenty, and more won't make much of a difference. So, I'll choose the Great Witch's Essence Blood!"
"What is Great Witch's Essence Blood, Master?" Kumoko asked again.
Ye Tian smiled and replied, "The Great Witch is a race from another world, a supremely powerful one, much stronger than the shinobi world. Many of the items from the Golden List come from other worlds. And the power of the Great Witch could crush the entire shinobi world with just one hand!"
"Crush the shinobi world with one hand!!!" Kumoko gasped.
What a terrifying level of strength!
One drop of Great Witch's Essence Blood was indeed incredibly precious, enough to massively boost the Master's physical attributes. No wonder he chose it. For the Master, the Great Witch's Essence Blood offered the best value!
"Extract the Great Witch's Essence Blood!" Ye Tian decisively extracted the Great Witch's Essence Blood from the livestream room.
Buzz!!!
A large mass of blood appeared in Ye Tian's hand. This single drop of blood seemed to contain more than the entire blood volume of an adult human.
But considering the massive size of the Great Witch, towering like a mountain, it was no surprise that one drop of their blood would be so large!
"I'll save this for later, no need to rush the refinement!" Ye Tian murmured.
He then sealed it in a box and stored it in a void ring.
[Kakashi: Ye Tian chose the Great Witch's Essence Blood, as expected!]
[Madara Uchiha: It seems Ye Tian prefers power-enhancing treasures. Lifespan-related items don't interest him much!]
[Fourth Raikage: I wonder how much the Great Witch's Essence Blood will enhance physical attributes. Such a valuable item, yet it only has a brief description.]
[Third Hokage: Fourth Raikage, it's not like you're going to get such treasures anyway, so why bother understanding it?]
[Fourth Raikage: Hmph, can't I learn about it even if I don't get it?]
[Kisame Hoshigaki: Ye Tian's second Dōjutsu also ranks, I'm so jealous!]
[Madara Uchiha: The second-ranked prize should also involve choosing between two treasures. I wonder what those will be!]
[Hashirama Senju: They'll undoubtedly be extraordinarily valuable treasures, that's for sure!]
As everyone discussed, the two rewards for the second place on the Dōjutsu Ranking were revealed.
The first reward was a house, with an interior space that was surprisingly large.
[Hyperbolic Time Chamber: One day outside equals one year inside. It is fully equipped with food, water, and rooms. However, the air is thin, unbearably hot or cold, and the gravity is ten times normal. Each person can only enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber twice in their life, equating to two years of training, but only two people can enter at a time!]
The second item was a glowing relic that emitted a radiant Buddhist light.
[Vajra Relic: A relic from a Vajra of the Buddhist sect, it can enhance Buddhist power, refine the body, and aid in breaking through physical limits.]
The value of these two treasures was equally astonishing, not inferior to the previous ones. In fact, for some, the second-place rewards might even be more desirable. The Hyperbolic Time Chamber, for instance, was a godsend for the weak! While it might not be very useful to a strong individual, for a shinobi village, it would be invaluable!
[Tsunade: The Hyperbolic Time Chamber allows someone to train for two years, with only two days passing outside. Oh my, even though it's limited to two years, it's enough for everyone to go in! If a whole shinobi village's ninja trained in there, their power would skyrocket!]
[Kakashi: Yeah, training for two straight years without doing anything else, just focused on getting stronger. It's like training for several years, even ten years, in the outside world. Even a pig would become powerful!]
[Fourth Raikage: Two years of hard training in that harsh environment would drastically increase anyone's strength. Give a shinobi village this Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and within a year, they could produce a whole army of Kage-level ninjas!]
[Great Toad Sage: I prefer the Vajra Relic!]
[White Snake Sage: Heh, old Toad, even two extra years of training won't help you much. You've hit your limit and can't get stronger just by hard training, so you naturally don't need the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. The Vajra Relic, though, suits you better since you seem to know a bit about Buddhist teachings.]
[Great Toad Sage: I am a man of the Buddhist path!]
In reality, the Great Toad Sage didn't fully understand what the Buddhist sect was, but Mount Myoboku's teachings included some from an otherworldly Buddhist sect, and he really liked the principles of Buddhism.
Moreover, the roots of the Three Great Sage Regions actually originated from other worlds beyond the Shinobi world. In the beginning, he and his clan settled in the Shinobi world. Therefore, he had some understanding of Buddhism but wasn't deeply familiar with it. However, he did know the term "Vajra."
Vajra is considered a relatively high level within Buddhism, and the Vajra Relic was indeed quite beneficial to him, capable of enhancing his strength to some extent.
[Mei Terumi: The Vajra Relic is useful to a select few, but for most of us, it doesn't hold much value. However, the Hyperbolic Time Chamber would be beneficial to almost everyone in the Shinobi world!]
[Gaara: The Hyperbolic Time Chamber is more valuable to a shinobi village than any treasure, enough to make any major nation start a war over it!]
[Fourth Raikage A: Ye Tian will likely choose the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, right? He has summoning beasts, and not just one. He might even have subordinates, so the Hyperbolic Time Chamber would be incredibly valuable to him too!]
[Shikaku Nara: It's hard to say. Everyone has their own thoughts, and maybe the Vajra Relic would be useful to him!]
