Chapter 121: Chapter 116: A Key

He won.

Lu Xingzhi stood in the center of the arena, a gentle smile on his lips.

At last...

He had not let down the efforts of so many people.

"Long live Senior Brother!" Shi Nian and Lin Tiantian cheered.

"Brother Lu is awesome!"

"Brother Lu is so handsome!"

"Brother Lu is my idol!"

The cheering voices rose and fell.

Li Nanfeng, slumped on the ground, had a look of numbness on his face.

Once upon a time.

Such cheers, such a following, they were all his.

But now...

Not only had Mu Nanqing left him behind.

Even Lu Xingzhi had surpassed him!

Li Nanfeng’s fists clenched tightly and then weakly loosened.

He now felt lost and afraid.

In this Divine Martial Sect...

Did he still have a future?

In a corner of the crowd.

Mu Jiangyue listened to the cheers around her with a hint of desolation in her eyes.

Brother Lu... he actually... is so amazing.

If she hadn’t been foolish, she could be sharing all this joy with Lu Xingzhi now.

But now...

Her feelings were incredibly complex.

She even darkly wished that Lu Xingzhi was not so outstanding.

The more outstanding he was, the more she felt like a clown.

Mu Jiangyue bit her teeth tightly.

After knowing the engagement was off, she sent many messages back home.

But...

No matter how many messages she sent, there was no response from the other side.

Mu Jiangyue somewhat despaired to realize.

She was truly abandoned by her clan, completely.

It wasn’t just that Lu Xingzhi didn’t want her; her parents, her clanspeople, they didn’t want her either.

From now on, she could only rely on herself.

Mu Jiangyue thought of her Jade Marrow Physique and slightly gritted her teeth.

Maybe she wasn’t without hope.

Lu Xingzhi didn’t want her.

Her family had given up on her.

But one day she would make all of them regret their choices.

Mu Jiangyue lowered her head and hurriedly left the plaza.

"Sect Leader, it’s time to distribute the rewards for the Nascent Soul Stage," said Ling Tian Sword Master with a smile, enjoying the Sect Leader’s expression while secretly keeping an Image Stone in his sleeve for a high-definition memento.

With the Sect Leader’s expression now, when he couldn’t eat his meal, looking at it would surely let him eat three more bowls.

The Sect Leader’s hands trembled slightly.

The first prize for the Nascent Soul Stage.

He had obtained it with great effort and cunning.

He originally thought it would be Li Nanfeng’s.

But now...

Li Nanfeng had actually lost.

Such a fine item, falling into the hands of Ling Tian Peak, he couldn’t bear the thought. If because of that item, Ling Tian Peak produced a super genius, he would really vomit blood from frustration.

"Sect Leader. The hour grows late," said Fire Flame Venerable.

Chao Fang Immortal Venerable looked up, "The set reward should be distributed sooner rather than later."

Bai Hua Immortal Venerable also smiled, "Sect Leader, everyone is waiting."

Only Qing Guang was as always silent and taciturn.

The Sect Leader coldly glanced at the other venerables. Very good, these four have all gotten involved, haven’t they?

Fine.

When the time comes, they will all be eliminated in one fell swoop.

The Sect Leader suppressed the irritation in his heart and stood up expressionlessly.

Ling Tian Sword Master watched on, a flash of anticipation inadvertently crossing his eyes.

He knew what the top prize for this competition was.

It truly was a splendid item.

Lu Xingzhi didn’t know what the reward was, but that didn’t prevent him from looking forward to it.

After a moment of silence, the Sect Leader slowly took out a box.

He tossed the box into Lu Xingzhi’s arms without a word and turned around and left.

Lu Xingzhi caught the box and looked at Ling Tian Sword Master somewhat puzzled.

Ling Tian Sword Master chuckled and telepathically said, "Just safely keep the item. I’ll explain in detail after we return."

Lu Xingzhi secured the item and asked no further questions.

This grand competition.

Ling Tian Peak can be called the biggest winner.

Shi Nian took two top prizes, and Lu Xingzhi took another. Ling Tian Peak swept all the rewards.

Regarding this outcome.

Ling Tian Sword Master found it almost unthinkable.

He even wondered.

Could it be that his teaching had been too prolific in the past, restraining the disciples?

When he left them alone for a while, it turned out they were each more remarkable than the next!

Ling Tian Peak.

Aside from the secluding Mu Nanqing, the whole team was present.

Ling Tian Sword Master cleared his throat and said, "This competition, everyone performed very well. As your Master, let me say a few simple words. First of all, your performance this time is all thanks to my wise guidance... Second, consistent effort over time, your achievements today are all thanks to my decade-long foundation laying for you... Most importantly, I myself am even more wise and martial... In short, I should take at least half the credit... Finally..."

Ling Tian Sword Master was speaking non-stop.

Suddenly, a soft snoring sound interrupted from below.

Ling Tian Sword Master: "!!!"

He looked down in annoyance.

Saw that Shi Nian was soundly asleep.

Ling Tian Sword Master took a deep breath and held back his temper.

Never mind, considering the face she gave him this time, he wouldn’t hold it against her.

Beside him, Lin Tiantian gently nudged Shi Nian.

Shi Nian jolted awake, promptly clapping vigorously, "Master’s speech is great, Master’s speech is brilliant, Master’s speech is absolutely on point."

Ling Tian Sword Master looked at her, "Oh? Is it that good? Then repeat what I said."

Shi Nian’s smile stiffened for a moment, quickly changing the subject, "Master, what exactly is the final Nascent Soul Stage top prize? I’ve been thinking about this question the whole time, so curious it’s killing me."

Ling Tian Sword Master raised an eyebrow but didn’t press Shi Nian further, calmly saying, "Xingzhi, show everyone the item."

Lu Xingzhi answered and took out the box.

In front of everyone, Ling Tian Sword Master opened the box.

People looked on with curiosity.

Seeing the item inside, Shi Nian was slightly startled.

This legendary, incredibly precious item, was unexpectedly a transparent pearl.

"This is a Spirit Cleansing Pearl," Ling Tian Sword Master smiled, "Throughout the entire Righteous Alliance, there are no more than ten of these pearls. Xingzhi, swallow it."

Lu Xingzhi took the pearl and swallowed it in one gulp.

Once the pearl was swallowed, it went to where Lu Xingzhi’s Nascent Soul was located and then it quietly floated at the Nascent Soul’s navel. The pearl began to absorb the energy emitted from the Nascent Soul, and after transforming it, it turned into a purer form of power, which was then returned to Lu Xingzhi.

This process of transformation was slow, but it was continuously happening.

Lu Xingzhi felt the transformed Spiritual Power and couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise.

This Spiritual Power...

Not only was it purer than before, but its circulation was smoother as well.

Ling Tian Sword Master smiled faintly: "This Spirit Cleansing Pearl can only be used by cultivators below the Divinity Transformation Stage. Its function is to slowly transform the cultivator’s spiritual energy into a type of pure essence. This transformation process will last about a month. After a month, the Spiritual Power will be completely transformed, and any new Spiritual Power you cultivate will also be transformed in sync. You’ll understand, once every bit is transformed, that this purer essence has many more marvelous uses compared to Spiritual Energy. But the reason the Spirit Cleansing Pearl is so precious is not this transformation of Spiritual Power; that’s its least significant function. Its true purpose is that it is a key."
