Chapter 157: The Deal with the Sage of Six Paths!
Very quickly, the reward for the first place on the Merit List was announced.
Buzz!
Two reward items appeared on the screen.
The first reward was a cluster of golden light of merit.
[Golden Light of Merit: A gift from the Heavenly Dao of a top-tier world. It can be obtained by those who have made significant contributions to a top-tier world or have been recognized for doing many good deeds. The Golden Light of Merit can directly enhance cultivation, refine the body, and be used to form a Wheel of Merit. Once the Wheel of Merit is successfully formed, one becomes immune to all techniques, including ninjutsu, Bloodline Limits, and ocular techniques. The wheel grants invulnerability to all forms of destruction, as long as the Golden Light of Merit remains unbroken. It also provides defense against any negative effects or attacks and can be infused into weapons to create Merit Treasures. Moreover, killing someone with Golden Light of Merit will negatively affect the killer's luck, potentially bringing extreme misfortune or even punishment from the Heavenly Dao.]
The second reward was a Fifth-Rank Golden Pill.
[Fifth-Rank Golden Pill: A immortal pill that can greatly increase one's chakra for senjutsu, refine the body, extend lifespan by 300 years, and heal injuries.]
"It's the Golden Light of Merit again!"
Ye Tian was intrigued.
Last time, he had received a cluster of Golden Light of Merit that transformed his weapon into a Postnatal Merit Spiritual Treasure. Even now, that treasure significantly boosts his strength.
"Although the Fifth-Rank Golden Pill can increase my senjutsu chakra, it won't enhance my power much. The Golden Light of Merit is far more useful."
Ye Tian quickly made his decision and chose the Golden Light of Merit.
"Extract Golden Light of Merit!"
Buzz!
A cluster of Golden Light of Merit appeared in Ye Tian's hand.
"What should I do with this cluster of Golden Light of Merit? Using it to upgrade my Postnatal Merit Spiritual Treasure into a Supreme Merit Treasure wouldn't be enough. Having more Postnatal Merit Spiritual Treasures would also be redundant and wouldn't increase my strength much."
Ye Tian pondered to himself.
After some thought, he decided to use the light to increase his power, but not by enhancing his senjutsu. Instead, he aimed to form a Wheel of Merit.
Of course, he couldn't form a large Wheel of Merit. However, with the help of his deduction system, he could deduce a technique to create a small Wheel of Merit, essentially a low-tier version of the Wheel of Merit.
In the future, as he collected more Golden Light of Merit, he could gradually enhance it into a complete Wheel of Merit.
Others might not be able to do this, but he could!
Soon, Ye Tian deduced a technique for creating a low-tier Wheel of Merit.
Boom!
He absorbed the cluster of Golden Light of Merit, and a Wheel of Merit gradually appeared behind him.
However, this Wheel of Merit was quite small and somewhat illusory, not fully solidified.
Nonetheless, it was still a Wheel of Merit and provided Ye Tian with invulnerability and incredibly strong defense.
After obtaining this small Wheel of Merit, Ye Tian's power increased significantly.
Golden List Livestream:
[Fourth Raikage: Ye Tian has received the Golden Light of Merit again. This time it's from the Merit List. I wonder if we can get the Golden Light of Merit?]
[Tsunade: It's difficult since the Golden Light of Merit is so valuable.]
[Hashirama Senju: It's possible we might receive some, but even if we do, it would likely be very little.]
[Madara Uchiha: Whatever enhances power is a good thing!]
[Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki: My reward is coming up. I hope it's a good one!]
Soon, the second-place reward on the Merit List was announced.
Two reward items appeared on the screen.
The first was also a cluster of Golden Light of Merit, but it was only a third of the size of Ye Tian's.
The second reward was a Fourth-Rank Golden Pill.
[Tsunade: Even the Sage of Six Paths has Golden Light of Merit in his rewards. I wonder what he will choose?]
[Fourth Raikage: I think choosing the Golden Light of Merit would be better. Even Ye Tian chose the Golden Light of Merit and gave up the Fifth-Rank Golden Pill, so the Sage of Six Paths is likely to choose the light as well.]
[Ye Tian: Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, how about we make a deal? I need the Golden Light of Merit. If you choose it and trade it to me, I can give you whatever you need. You can set the terms.]
[Kakashi: Wow, is this the first time Ye Tian has proposed a trade?]
[Hashirama Senju: I wonder what the Sage of Six Paths will choose. If he agrees, he might get more benefits!]
"Ye Tian wants to trade for the Golden Light of Merit?"
Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki pondered for a moment, uncertain whether he should agree.
There was no doubt that the Golden Light of Merit was extremely valuable and could significantly boost his power.
But if he traded with Ye Tian, he might gain even more benefits.
[Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki: A trade is possible, but what can you offer me?]
[Ye Tian: I can craft a cultivation technique tailored for you, allowing you to more quickly enhance your Six Paths power and even purify your bloodline. As long as you keep cultivating, even without the Golden List rewards, you could surpass the Six Paths level and reach the Immortal Path. You should know well that the Ōtsutsuki clan heavily relies on their bloodline and ocular techniques, which limits their growth. My technique could break through that limitation. If you absorb the Golden Light of Merit yourself, you'll only gain some strength, but you won't reach the Immortal Path. Consider it carefully.]
[Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki: Alright, I agree to the trade, but I hope you're not deceiving me!]
Soon after.
Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki extracted the Golden Light of Merit.
Buzz!
The Golden Light of Merit fell into his hands.
"So this is the Golden Light of Merit."
Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki felt an urge to absorb it but restrained himself.
At that moment, space cracked open, and a figure appeared in front of him.
"Ye Tian, how did you find me?"
Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki was shocked.
At that moment, he was hiding within a living being's consciousness, deep inside its sea of consciousness, yet Ye Tian had directly pinpointed his location.
In truth, with Ye Tian's current strength and the power of his deduction system, he could deduce anything in the ninja world, including Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki's whereabouts.
No matter how well Hagoromo hid, Ye Tian would always find him.
"Whoever I wish to find, they cannot escape."
Ye Tian replied calmly.
Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki was shocked but chose not to ask further.
The two then arrived at a secluded place in the ninja world.
The trade was about to begin!
