Speaking of Great Seal-type Magical Treasures, the most famous must be the Sky-Overturning Seal. Legend has it that... it was forged from the upper half of Mount Buzhou after Gonggong's head collided with it, causing the mountain to fracture and collapse. The Primordial Celestial Master gathered the upper part of the broken mountain to craft the Sky-Overturning Seal, which was later passed down to Guang Chengzi, making him the first Golden Immortal to strike the bell.
From this process, one can ascertain that no matter how strong the Sky-Overturning Seal is, it is after all just an Acquired Spiritual Treasure. What cos after cannot compare with what is innate, and that is a certainty. We can accurately say that the Sky-Overturning Seal may have imnse destructive power, but it does not embody principles. When compared to Innate Spiritual Treasures, it is ultimately of a different caliber.
In the eyes of ordinary people, there are only Innate Supre Treasures and no Innate Spiritual Treasures, but in reality, how many Innate Supre Treasures are there? Even the Saints cannot have one each, so how can one be extravagant in their expectations?
The Chaos Bell, Taiji Diagram, Pangu Banner, and the Zhu Xian Four Swords are the legendary Four Great Innate Treasures. Even if we include the Chaos Cauldron, that makes only five, and there are six Saints. The Saints themselves do not have enough to go around, let alone everyone else.
Among the Six Saints, the reason the Three Pure Ones possess Supre Treasures is that they are the orthodox lineage of Pangu, the creator of this world. The Three Pure Ones and Hongjun are originally one, hence they managed to obtain the Taiji Diagram, Pangu Banner, and the Zhu Xian Four Swords. As for why the Chaos Bell ended up with Taiyi, that was necessary. The Chaos Bell can stabilize the Primordial World and fix stars in place. Whoever wields the Chaos Bell must bustle about, and thus no Saint desires it—whoever wants it, takes it.
The Chaos Bell is strong, ranking first among the Four Great Innate Treasures, but once soone takes the Chaos Bell, they must hustle and cannot rest for a mont, leaving no ti for cultivation. Without becoming a Saint, one is ultimately just an ant.
Consider when Donghuang Tai Yi and the Witch Clan perished together, the Chaos Bell still did not end up in the hands of the Six Saints. Was it because they could not acquire it? No... they dared not to take it. Even Saints need to cultivate, have realms to progress through, and have varying levels of strength. Whoever takes the Chaos Bell can forget about devoted cultivation, hence the saying still applies—whoever wants it, takes it.
Besides the Four Great Innate Treasures, those ranked below are Innate Spiritual Treasures. In fact... the Innate Supre Treasures are just the strongest among the Innate Spiritual Treasures, unparalleled treasures that also fall within the category of Spiritual Treasures. It's like how an emperor is still human, part of the sa category of beings, except that the power of Supre Treasures is extraordinarily imnse, far surpassing all other Spiritual Treasures. In essence, Supre Treasures are Spiritual Treasures!
From this perspective, the Four Great Innate Treasures and this guy that is likely the Kongtong Seal, are fundantally of the sa class of treasures. There is a difference, but it's not as great as one might imagine and, used well, it might not even be inferior to the Supre Treasures.
In saying this, many people will probably find it hard to accept, but that is the truth. For example, take the secondary leaders of the Western Sect. The Twelve-Rank Lotus Platform and the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree are also Innate Spiritual Treasures, right? It's hard to say who's stronger or weaker between them and the Kongtong Seal, yet with these two Spiritual Treasures, they can still contest with the Three Pure Ones. Although they may usually be at a disadvantage, the reason is not solely because of the treasured items; the people factor plays a role too.
Then there are the twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls, which also fall into the category of Innate Spiritual Treasures, though they're just a half-set. Only when combined with the asure Heaven Ruler do they beco a complete Innate Spiritual Treasure, capable of evolving the twenty-four celestial realms, with imnse power that is by no ans inferior.
As for this Kongtong Seal, in records, it is said to stand alongside the Chaos Bell as one of the Ten Great Divine Artifacts, despite us not yet knowing its specific functions. But in any case, it's definitely much more powerful than the Sky-Overturning Seal—how much more, I dare not say, but once one becos a Saint, relying on this guy could undoubtedly stand toe-to-toe with any other Saint!
Having said that, so might wonder, doesn't Xin Yun possess the Sky-opening Axe? Isn't that also one of the Five Great Supre Treasures? Correct... Xin Yun does have these treasures, but the biggest problem now is the ti it would take to repair them. Although it's not impossible, actually restoring them would take God knows how many years.
As we've said before, Supre Treasures are ultimately Spiritual Treasures, being the most powerful among them. Imagine using a damaged, battered Supre Treasure—can it stand against an Innate Spiritual Treasure? Clearly, it cannot...
Take Xin Yun's currently partially restored Chaos Bell as an example. With a single strike, a five to six-story residential building would undoubtedly be pulverized instantly. But what is the actual power of the true Chaos Bell? A single strike would instantly reduce 365 galaxy systems to dust, and the Milky Way is only one of those 365 systems, and probably not even the largest!
Leaving aside the Supre Treasures, let's just talk about Acquired Spiritual Treasures for now. A strike from the Sky-Overturning Seal is equivalent to half of Mount Buzhou crashing down. How big is Mount Buzhou? Maybe ordinary people don't know, but if you think about it, you'll realize. Mount Buzhou is used to support the heavens; as high as the heavens are, Mount Buzhou is just as tall. And the ratio of height to girth of Mount Buzhou is that of the human body—so one can approximate what it would be like for half of it to fall.
Therefore, although Xin Yun's Five Great Supre Treasures have imnse potential, in the end, it's just potential which does not equate to power, at least not right now. In the current state of these five treasures, let alone compare with Supre Treasures, they have absolutely no chance in a confrontation with Spiritual Treasures and Acquired Spiritual Treasures.
