Zhang Yan saw that no one was making a sound. He thought for a moment, then bowed and said, "Sect Leader Reverend, disciple has a matter to report."
Sect Leader Qin's expression was amiable as he said, "Tell me now."
Zhang Yan said, "From the north to the south, I met no less than ten Devil's Doctrine disciples. I feel that my skills are not enough, so I would like to resign from my position as the top ten disciples and focus on my cultivation. I hope Sect Leader will allow me to do so."
Sect Leader Qin smiled and said, "We will discuss this later. Let's talk about our achievements first."
Sun Zhenren heard this and stood up from his seat. He said loudly, "Master, if it wasn't for Zhang Yan who saw through the Devil's Doctrine's scheme and ordered the disciples to split up, we would not have been able to suppress the two demonic caves. His contribution is so great that no one in the sect can match it. If we follow the previous example, it would be difficult to compensate for it. I am willing to ask for a reward on his behalf."
Shen Baishuang said, "In this battle between our two sects, Zhang Yan, as the leader, has the merit of planning. As a disciple, he has suppressed the two demonic caves. According to his contribution, he should be given a golden pavilion, imparted with superior Xuan Qi and given a Dharma Weapon."
Meng Zhen also bowed and said, "Master, the demonic calamity has lasted for thousands of years. To be able to suppress the two caves is already half of the Devil's Doctrine's fate. This gives the Qincang School more room to maneuver in the future. It is indeed a great contribution. What Zhenren Shen and Junior Apprentice-Brother Sun said makes sense."
Sect Leader Qin nodded and looked at Elder Chen, who was seated on the right. He said slowly, "Zhenren Chen, as an elder in the sect, what do you think of this proposal?"
Elder Chen hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for asking, Sect Leader. I think that it is our sect's fortune to have such a good disciple among the younger generation. In the future, she will definitely be a pillar of support for our sect. No matter how we reward him, it will not be too much. "
Zhang Yan's suppression of the two demonic caves was indeed a great achievement. No one could erase it. After Elder Chen said this, the Perfected Masters of the aristocratic families all agreed.
However, Qin Yu frowned and said, "Zhang Yan is the head of the sect's ten disciples and has made a great contribution. As the Upper Hall's Side Hall Master, it is only right for him to be taught the sect's Great Dao. Only the real treasure … "
She looked up at Sect Master Qin. "Sect Master Qin, when Senior-apprentice Brother Yan broke out of the sect all those years ago, he took many treasures with him. Now that the treasure pavilion is empty, what can we give him? Could it be that we are going to ask Senior-apprentice Brother Yan for some?"
The moment she mentioned the words' Senior Brother Yan '. Among the four Enlightened Masters of the aristocratic family, apart from Elder Chen, who was still calm, the rest of them didn't look too good.
However, what she said wasn't false. Back then, many of the sect's treasures were taken away by that person, and the rest were either in their hands, or the sect had other uses. It was impossible to use it as a reward.
Sect Leader Qin looked down and said, "Zhang Yan, what do you think?"
Zhang Yan also knew that magic treasures at the level of True Artifacts were already extremely rare. If a cultivator wanted to raise one, they would need to be lucky. At the very least, they would need more than a thousand years of effort.
In this battle of the Devil's Cave, don't look at how the disciples of both sects were given True Artifacts. However, these sects all had long legacies and deep foundations, not something the other sects could compare to. The True Artifacts that they carried were either taught by masters and disciples, or refined by generations.
For example, Li Mountain Sect, a sect that had been established for less than a thousand years, its Sect Master had spent a lot of effort to only refine one True Artifact.
For example, Tao Zhenren, who founded Clear Feather Sect, only managed to suppress Jade Reef Sect, which had existed for ten thousand years before he could be considered a True Artifact.
Even what he had on him had a history, and none of them were made in these hundreds or thousands of years.
Moreover, these kinds of treasures had a bad temper. Even if he took them, he might not take a liking to a Yuanying cultivator.
Moreover, he had two treasures, the Sun Embracing Axe and the Vitality Pearl. In the short term, if he didn't enter the battle of the Xuan Demons, it would be enough to protect himself. After careful consideration, he said, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint Sect Leader's kindness. With my cultivation, I'm afraid I won't be able to control such a True Artifact."
Sect Leader Qin smiled and said, "Since you don't want a True Artifact, then what kind of reward do you want?"
Before Zhang Yan could speak, Elder Chen said, "How about this, Zhang Yan can enter the Spirit Cave to cultivate for a hundred years."
When he said that, everyone in the Grotto-Heaven Sect was stunned.
The Spirit Cave of the Qincang School was formed by the great power of the Great Underworld Patriarch and the power of an entire continent. It wasn't something that the Spirit Caves of the other seven sects could compare to. If one wanted to enter it to cultivate, they would need the permission of the Sect Leader.
Shen Baishuang smiled coldly. This place was naturally a good place. Cultivating here would save him several times the effort compared to his peers of the same generation.
Back then, Yan and Zhu were able to enter the Grotto-Heaven within a hundred years after the internal strife in the sect. Of course, it was because of their hard work. However, if it wasn't for the Elixir Jade contained in the Spirit Cave, they would have to wait at least a hundred more years to achieve this.
However, no matter how good this place was, Zhang Yan couldn't use it now. Because Qi Yuntian was studying the mysteries of the Grotto-Heaven and had reached a crucial point. At this moment, he was in the Spirit Cave and no one knew when he would come out.
In other words, this benefit could be seen but not touched. However, it was enough to reward him. This seemed to be an understatement, but Zhang Yan's path of success was delayed for at least a hundred years.
At that time, the disciples of aristocratic families like Du De and Huo Xuan would have a chance to catch up and not let him monopolize the limelight.
Shen Baishuang glanced at Elder Chen, "If it was him, Sect Leader Senior Brother wouldn't accept this proposal. But now, it is very likely that he will give Elder Chen some face."
Sect Leader Qin thought for a while and said, "Let's do as Elder Chen says." Then, he looked down and said, "Zhang Yan, come forward to receive the decree."
Zhang Yan took a few steps forward and came close to the hall platform.
Sect Leader Qin said in a loud voice, "Zhang Yan, in this Xuan Demon Battle, you judged the situation and guarded two acupoints in a row. You have made great contributions. From today onwards, you are the Side Hall Master of the Qincang School's Du Zhen Hall. You will be granted the golden pavilion to observe and enter the Spirit Cave to cultivate for a hundred years."
Following his words, the entire hall trembled and three beams of light shot down from above. They stopped in front of Zhang Yan and remained motionless.
Zhang Yan glanced at them and saw a jade booklet, a seal, and a set of robes. They were all wrapped in auspicious spiritual flames and supported by auspicious clouds.
He waved his sleeves and put them into his bag. Then, he bowed and said, "Disciple thanks Sect Leader and all the Perfected Masters for their generosity."
Sect Leader Qin nodded slightly and said slowly, "In the golden pavilion, there are books and writings left by the Perfected Masters. If you encounter anything you don't understand, you can ask me."
Hearing this, Zhang Yan once again bowed to express his gratitude before retreating.
At this time, Elder Xun held a jade booklet in his hand and stood up again. He bowed and said, "Sect Leader Perfected Master, since Perfected Zhang is the Side Hall Master of the Du Zhen Hall, the position of the top ten disciple cannot be left empty. I wonder about the matter of succession …"
Meng Zhen raised his hand and bowed. He said, "Master, Perfected Master Shen's third generation disciple, Xing Shangying, can replace this position."
Xing Shangying was taken in by Zhao Ge from the Hanyuan School after he came to Dong Hua. Although he was his disciple in name, the techniques and techniques he learned were all given to him by Shen Baishuang. Now, he had cultivated to the middle of the Core Transformation Realm.
Sect Leader Qin nodded and said, "Sure. Fill in the name list first, and we will decide who is better during the competition."
Elder Xun quickly picked up his brush and filled in his name on the jade booklet.
Everyone present did not have any strange expressions. As a Grotto-Heaven Perfected Master, there should be a disciple in the top ten disciple.
And every disciple had the support of a Grotto-Heaven Master behind them.
For someone like Zhang Yan, who did not have a Grotto-Heaven Master, to be able to become a hall master of one of the Three Highest Halls, one in a thousand.
The Daoist child beside Sect Leader Qin said, "The discussion is over. Is there anything else, Perfected Masters?"
At this moment, Perfected Master Yan shook his sleeves and stood up slowly. He walked into the hall and said, "Master, today, all the Perfected Masters are here. I hope Master can make a decision as soon as possible."
Sect Leader Qin looked at him and said, "Gongzhen, have you made up your mind?"
Perfected Master Yan bowed and said, "This disciple knows that there is no hope for the path of Dao in this life. I am willing to start a family and spread the branches and leaves to protect the younger generation. I hope Master can fulfill my wish."
Sect Leader Qin waved his sleeves at him and said, "Go."
Perfected Master Yan took a step to the side and walked to the row of aristocratic families. He bowed in front of the four Perfected Masters Chen, Du, Xiao, and Han. The four of them also stood up and bowed to him. He smiled and sat down at the bottom of the table.
Zhang Yan was a little surprised. Just Now, he understood the meaning of Perfected Master Yan's words. He wanted to join the aristocratic families and establish the Yan Clan in Qincang School.
However, Luo Qingyu's disciple, Zhang Shanghong, was still one of the top ten disciples. It would take at least hundreds of years for the Yan Clan's disciples to enter this game.
He changed his mind. Based on the Sect Leader's past actions, this step was not so simple. It was very likely that it was another chess piece that he had set up.
Sect Leader Qin looked at Elder Chen who was sitting and said, "Elder Chen, is this appropriate?"
Perfected Master Chen only said, "Perfected Master's arrangement is very good."
Sect Leader Qin said, "Perfected Master Chen, after the date is set, you can order someone to inform me."
Perfected Master Chen bowed and said, "I dare not. I will inform the Sect Leader."
Sect Leader Qin nodded and stood up. He waved his horsetail whisk and went to the back of the hall. The Daoist child at the side knocked on the jade chime, and the long sound spread throughout the hall.
The Taoist Master in the hall stood up and said, "Farewell, Perfected Master."
As soon as the Sect Leader left, the Perfected Masters also turned into rainbow lights and left. As a junior, Zhang Yan only came out of the hall after everyone had left.
When he was outside, he looked around and saw that Shen Baishuang had not gone far. He walked up to him and bowed, "Perfected Master Shen, do you have something to tell me?"
Shen Baishuang raised his hand and handed over a talisman. He said, "Only the Elders of the three halls can enter the Golden Pavilion. According to the rules, it can only be opened once every thirty-six years. However, since you have made a great contribution and are the Hall Master of the side hall, you can be exempted from the rules. At the beginning of next month, you can enter with my talisman."
Zhang Yan reached out and took it. He bowed and said, "Thank you, Perfected Master."
Shen Baishuang said lightly, "Although the Golden Pavilion has the legacy of the senior, in terms of real benefits, it is not as good as the Hall Master of the three halls. You will know when you enter the Grotto-Heaven State."
Apart from the Upper Extreme Hall, the Du Zhen Hall and the Daylight Void Hall had always been succeeded by the top ten disciples who had made great contributions. For example, Huo Xuan was now the Hall Master of the side hall of the Daylight Void Hall. Although Shen Baishuang was the direct disciple of Zhuo Yuming, he was not the Hall Master, so he could not sit on this position. Otherwise, with his status and cultivation, he would have been the Hall Master of the main hall long ago.
After the two talked for a while outside the hall, Zhang Yan took the opportunity to ask, "I don't know about this. Just Now, Perfected Master Yan …"
"There is no need to hide this from you. You will know eventually." Shen Baishuang paused and looked in the direction of the Daylight Void Hall. He said, "Elder Chen is about to die."
