"I can tell that the way you control your swords is the same sword-controlling method used in Lord Azure Emperor’s legacy."
Elder Qing smiled and said no more to Li Yun.
Then his voice returned to normal as he announced loudly, "As the first place holder on this Heaven’s Chosen Ranking, regardless of your performance in the Genius Training Camp, you will directly obtain a spot in the Genius Cultivation Plan."
"Additionally, you may make one request of me. As long as it is within my power and not unreasonable, I can fulfill it for you."
Whoosh!
These words once again caused the crowd to erupt in amazement.
The gazes directed at Li Yun were filled with jealousy, envy, and even hatred.
One had to know that this was a promise from the esteemed Elder Qing.
The weight of such a promise was extremely heavy and was no less valuable than a promise from the sect master of one of the Five Supreme Factions.
Moreover, from Elder Qing’s voice, everyone could hear his undisguised fondness for Li Yun.
At a time when the Azure Emperor Sword had reappeared in the world and the Azure Emperor was about to return, being highly regarded by Elder Qing was simply an enormous blessing.
Even experts at Elder Bai Jing’s level could not help feeling jealous of Li Yun.
One had to understand that although Elder Qing was the Azure Emperor’s servant, the relationship between them was not merely that of master and servant. They were more like family.
In a sense, Elder Qing was the spokesperson of the Azure Emperor.
Furthermore, even putting aside his relationship with the Azure Emperor, Elder Qing himself was a Dao Resonance Realm expert. Among those in the Dao Resonance Realm, he could be considered a top-tier existence and was undoubtedly one of the most prominent figures in the entire Northern Territory.
Being appreciated by Elder Qing alone was enough to make countless Spirit Manifestation Realm experts feel deeply envious.
"Alright. Next, follow me to receive your rewards."
Elder Qing said no more.
With a wave of his hand, Li Yun and the others appeared inside the Heavenly Heart Scroll.
Inside the Heavenly Heart Scroll, there was not only the Heavenly Heart Dao Arena, but also several other buildings. Li Yun and the group descended into a treasury.
Inside the treasury, various spiritual artifacts were piled up like mountains.
There were nearly one thousand of them, ranging from low-grade Sacred Rank to high-grade Sacred Rank. Among them, low-grade Sacred Rank artifacts were the most numerous, and even high-grade Sacred Rank spiritual artifacts numbered more than fifty.
"So many spiritual artifacts."
The eyes of the group immediately lit up.
With Elder Qing’s permission, they cheered and rushed forward together to select the treasures most suited to them.
Li Yun, the Wine Monk, and Huang Tianlin did not move.
Elder Qing would only give them their top-grade Sacred Rank spiritual artifacts when they possessed enough strength to protect them.
They were not worried that Elder Qing would fail to fulfill his promise.
For a figure of his status, his word was his bond. There was no way he would go back on what he had said.
Soon, the cultivators had all chosen their spiritual artifacts.
Each of them wore an irrepressible smile as they bowed to Elder Qing in gratitude.
"It is no matter. This is what you deserve."
Elder Qing spoke indifferently.
Then, with a wave of his hand, seventy-two spatial rings flew out at the same time and landed in the hands of Li Yun and the others.
These spatial rings were divided into four tiers: bronze, black iron, silver, and gold.
These colors represented different levels of rewards.
For instance, the gold ring Li Yun received contained exactly one million Source Stones.
"What a generous hand."
Looking at the mountain of Source Stones inside the spatial ring, Li Yun could not help sighing in admiration.
Even in his previous life, when he had been a Dao Resonance Realm expert, he had never seen so many Source Stones at once. Yet now, Elder Qing had given them out as rewards with no visible trace of heartache.
"Alright. You may leave. Li Yun, stay behind for a moment."
Then, with a wave of Elder Qing’s hand, Huang Tianlin and the other cultivators vanished one after another and were teleported out of the Heavenly Heart Scroll.
Only Li Yun remained where he was.
"Senior, this is?"
Li Yun was slightly taken aback.
"This is a very good sword that I obtained from a secret ruin. It is called the Profound Origin Sword."
Elder Qing said as he took out a blue shinning sword, "Take this sword."
"When you possess strength comparable to the 3rd level of Spirit Manifestation Realm, it will automatically unseal to the level of a middle-grade Sacred Rank spiritual artifact. If you possess strength comparable to the 6th level of Spirit Manifestation Realm, you can undo the second seal and restore it to the level of a high-grade Sacred Rank spiritual artifact. Once you reach strength comparable to the 9th level of Spirit Manifestation Realm, the final seal will also be undone. At that time, this sword will return to the top-grade Sacred Rank level."
"Thank you, Senior."
Li Yun’s expression turned solemn as he bowed deeply to Elder Qing with sincere gratitude.
Elder Qing had already considered his safety to such an extent. It had to be said that Li Yun was somewhat moved.
"Alright. You may go."
Elder Qing waved his hand and said calmly, "In three months, someone will come to take you to the Genius Training Camp. I hope you will not disappoint me."
"Yes."
Li Yun nodded.
In the next moment, his figure was enveloped by cyan light and teleported directly out of the Heavenly Heart Scroll, returning to Lake Heart Island.
"Li Yun, you are finally out."
At this time, Lake Heart Island was already different from its previous bustling state.
Most of the cultivators had already left, and the island had become much emptier. Only a small number of cultivators remained.
Upon seeing Li Yun, Elder Bai Jing and several other experts from the Profound Origin Immortal Sect immediately came forward.
"There is no time to lose. We must return to Profound Origin Immortal Mountain immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, a scroll appeared in Elder Bai Jing’s hand.
Without the slightest hesitation, he tore it open.
Several hours had already passed since the Heaven’s Chosen Assembly ended.
In such a long time, it was hard to guarantee that some people would not develop thoughts of intercepting and killing Li Yun midway.
After all, the talent Li Yun had displayed at this Heaven’s Chosen Assembly was far too extraordinary.
Coupled with the fact that he had gained Elder Qing’s appreciation, many people naturally did not want Li Yun to return to the Profound Origin Immortal Sect alive.
Therefore, Elder Bai Jing directly took out a teleportation scroll.
A beam of light enveloped Li Yun and the others, and their figures immediately entered a space-time tunnel.
