"Next, I'll announce the rewards for the elite cultivators!"
Perhaps it was to keep them in suspense, or perhaps it was on purpose, but after the Left Prime Minister finished speaking, he pursed his lips and didn't speak for several breaths of time. This made the 25 cultivators in front of Star Monarch Suzaku's mansion stretch their necks very far. If they waited any longer, they might even become long-necked people.
"First, I'd like to congratulate all of you. Congratulations to the 25 of you for staying and having the last laugh after all the trials and battles of life and death.
It can be said that all of you will be the favorites of this era in the Suzaku Star System. All of you will become influential figures in the Suzaku Star System in the future. Some of you might even become the ruler of a star realm in the future. "
Hearing the Left Prime Minister's words, almost all the cultivators became excited and looked forward to it. However, most of them didn't believe it and thought the Left Prime Minister was just being polite.
The road ahead was long. Favorite of the era? Influential figure? Or even the ruler of a star realm?
These were all too far away. Everyone knew that in the Suzaku Star System, his peak Qui Star Realm cultivation was still very weak!
"What? You don't believe me?" Seeing the expressions of the cultivators, the Left Prime Minister raised his eyebrows and revealed a confident expression. "I can understand if you don't believe me. However, what you don't know is that your future won't be decided by yourselves but by the rewards given to you by Star Monarch Suzaku's mansion!"
With the Left Prime Minister's words, all the cultivators were filled with anticipation for the rewards!
"According to the Vermillion Bird Star Monarch's order, any cultivator who enters the Heaven Dipper Mystic Realm and comes back alive, and has accumulated more than 100 points, will be given a chance to enter the Little Yin Yang Blessed Land to cultivate. Each person will have 30 days!
"Enter the Little Yin Yang Blessed Land to cultivate for 30 days?" Hearing the Left Prime Minister's announcement, all the cultivators were startled. Then some of the more courageous cultivators who had entered the Little Yin Yang Blessed Land before or knew the benefits of the Little Yin Yang Blessed Land began to cheer.
This kind of cheer infected all the cultivators. In an instant, the cheers covered the entire square in front of Star Monarch Suzaku's mansion.
This reward made the other nine Sovereigns from the star realms very jealous. It was no exaggeration to say that more than half of the nine Venerables leading the teams had never entered the Little Yin Yang Blessed Land.
Even Di Nankun was only able to enter because of his special status in the Wood Nightmare Realm. Moreover, he had to work hard in order to enter. He could only enter once every hundred years. To be honest, even Di Nankun was jealous of this reward.
Of course, the happiest person was Ling Dong.
Ling Dong, who had entered Little Yin Yang Paradise once, was very clear about the terrifying effects of Little Yin Yang Paradise. Although it was only a short 30 days in the outside world, 30 days in Little Yin Yang Blessed Land was equivalent to nine years in Little Sky Star Hall or ninety years in the outside world.
The worst thing was that only 30 days had passed in the outside world.
This was the most perverted use of Little Yinyang Paradise. It could reduce the gap in strength regardless of time. It could be said that as long as they entered Little Yin Yang Blessed Land for 30 days, every one of the 25 cultivators present would have a shocking change in strength.
As Left Prime Minister waved his hand, the noisy cheers suddenly disappeared. The square in front of Star Monarch Suzaku's mansion became very quiet once more.
"This is the reward for all the cultivators who managed to stay. Now, I'll announce the special reward for all the cultivators!"
After pausing for a moment, Left Prime Minister continued, "According to the rules of Star Monarch Suzaku's mansion, there are two kinds of special rewards for cultivators in the Suzaku Millennium Elite Battle. The first one is the reward for the first, second, and third winners who are ranked in the top three of the list! "
As the Left Prime Minister's words fell, not only did Ling Dong, Shi Qianbi, and Bai Yuhan's eyes become incomparably expectant, but the gazes of the other twenty odd cultivators all gathered on Ling Dong and the other two. The jealousy and redness in their eyes were enough to melt gold and iron.
After all, with the special reward for the star realms, everyone knew that the special reward for cultivators wouldn't be bad. On the contrary, it would be very tempting.
"The first place winner this time is Ling Dong from the Wood Puppet Star Realm. According to Star Monarch Suzaku's order, Ling Dong will have a chance to ask for his own reward …"
"Ask for his own reward!?"
"Asking for his own reward? Isn't that too strong?"
For a moment, the cultivators all exclaimed in surprise and their eyes were filled with envy.
But what puzzled Ling Dong was that the Honorables leading the teams from the star realms didn't react to this reward at all. It was as if it wasn't surprising at all.
Then Left Prime Minister's explanation answered Ling Dong's question.
"However, there is a limit to the reward you can ask for. You can ask for a low quality natural soul treasure. You can also ask for power, such as the position of a celestial official or the position of the Vermillion Bird Star System's All-Around Messenger.
Or you can skip the test and directly join the Vermillion Bird Guard. Once you join, you will be a captain. Of course, you can also ask for other treasures or cultivation methods. In short, the value of the reward can't exceed a low-grade natural soul tool! "Left Prime Minister added in great detail.
"Low-grade natural soul tool!" Ling Dong muttered. Ling Dong keenly noticed that when the Realm Lords of the star realms heard these words, a strange light flashed across their eyes. It was obvious that they were interested in this reward.
Ling Dong could tell that a treasure at the level of a natural soul tool was very precious. For example, the Seven Origin Earthly Dust, which was not a soul armament of a world, but was the main material used to make soul armaments of a world. It was extremely precious, so precious that even Yue Yuan and Fairy Green Bamboo were greedy for it.
This was only the material used to refine a natural soul tool. From this, it could be seen just how precious a natural soul tool was.
"Ling Dong, tell me what reward you want now. It's decided immediately. You can't go back on your word or change your mind!" Left Prime Minister shouted at Ling Dong after the reward was announced.
"Now?" Ling Dong frowned and hesitated. Ling Dong had heard Di Nankun mention the reward for martial artists before. After the special reward was announced, there would be a reward exchange list. Cultivators could use their own value to exchange for the reward.
According to Ling Dong's plan, he would only decide what reward to ask for after looking at the reward exchange list. At that time, he wouldn't have to worry about wasting it. If he asked for it now and the reward could be exchanged on the reward exchange list, he would be wasting this precious opportunity.
"Yes, now! You only have sixty breaths of time. If you don't, you'll be giving up! " Left Prime Minister's tone was cold and even a bit impatient. Not far away, Di Nankun frowned. It wasn't like this before.
"Understood!" Ling Dong replied in a low voice. Looking at Left Prime Minister's cold expression, he suddenly realized that he might have already offended Left Prime Minister because of the Yueyuan incident. Although that incident didn't have much to do with Ling Dong, the Left Prime Minister's right-hand man, Yueyuan, had been killed. Perhaps Left Prime Minister would blame this on Ling Dong.
Otherwise, Left Prime Minister wouldn't have treated Ling Dong so harshly.
Although he only had sixty breaths of time, Ling Dong's brain worked quickly. He judged the pros and cons and made his own choice.
As for the natural soul tool, it was eliminated at the first possible moment. Not because of other reasons, but because Ling Dong's Ten Thousand Star Manor had numerous materials to craft Heaven and Earth Soul Artifacts.
Moreover, no matter how precious natural soul tools were, they could still be bought on the market with a huge amount of Reiki. And Ling Dong didn't lack Reiki right now. Any one of the treasures in his Myriad Stars House could be exchanged for a large amount of Reiki.
Therefore, in Ling Dong's mind, anything that could be bought with Reiki was no longer a treasure.
As for the positions that could be bought with Reiki, such as becoming an Auxiliary Star Officer or directly joining the Vermillion Bird Guard, Ling Dong wasn't interested in them. It wasn't worth it to waste such a precious opportunity.
"Lord Prime Minister, I want to take a look at the strange jade talismans on the fourth to ninth floors of the Vermillion Bird Star Monarch's Nine Profound Tower!" After pondering for fifty breaths of time, Ling Dong finally said his choice.
Hearing Ling Dong's choice, many elite cultivators, including Shi Qianbi and Bai Yuhan, couldn't help but be surprised. Even Di Nankun had a puzzled expression.
This was because Ling Dong's choice was of little value. It was a complete waste of such a precious opportunity.
Strange jade talismans, in layman's terms, were like an encyclopedia. Reading them would only increase one's knowledge, but it wouldn't increase one's combat strength at all.
Waste, it was a reckless waste of natural resources!
Hearing Ling Dong's choice, many cultivators had the same thought.
However, Ling Dong didn't think so. This was because this choice was related to another important treasure on his body — an extremely important function of the Myriad Stars House.
"The strange jade talismans on the fourth to ninth floors of the Nine Profound Tower?" Hearing Ling Dong's choice, the Left Minister pondered for a moment before shaking his head. "No, change it. The value of the reward will exceed the value of a low-grade natural soul tool!"
"Ah?"
The Left Minister's words caused all the cultivators' eyeballs to fall to the ground. They thought that Ling Dong had chosen a trash reward, but they didn't expect that the reward Ling Dong had chosen would exceed the value of a low-grade natural soul tool.
Ling Dong was also surprised by the Left Minister's words. Ling Dong wasn't sure if the Left Minister was deliberately making things difficult for him, or if the contents of the strange jade talismans were too precious.
"Then I will choose the strange jade talismans on the fourth to eighth floors of the Nine Profound Tower!" Ling Dong thought for a moment before dropping one floor. Sometimes, knowledge was more important than anything else. Knowledge was combat strength.
With regards to Ling Dong's insistence, not only were the cultivators surprised, even the Left Minister was surprised. However, this time, the Left Minister didn't reject Ling Dong. Instead, he nodded and said, "Good, the value matches. After the reward is exchanged, someone will bring you to the Nine Profound Tower!"
"Many thanks, Left Minister!" After thanking the Left Minister, Ling Dong left!
"Aside from the chance to ask for the reward, the winner will also be able to enter the Little Yin Yang Paradise to cultivate for 90 days!"
Hearing this reward, Ling Dong's eyes shined with a terrifying light. This reward had come at the right time. What Ling Dong lacked right now was this.
"At the same time, the two winners will be able to enter the Little Yin Yang Paradise to cultivate for 60 days. The three winners will be able to enter the Little Yin Yang Paradise to cultivate for 30 days!"
After pausing for a moment, the Left Minister continued, "In addition, there is another special reward for the elite cultivators who find the number one divine stone. According to the Vermillion Bird Star Monarch's order, for every divine stone you find, you will be able to enter the Little Yin Yang Paradise to cultivate for 30 days!"
After announcing this, the Left Minister seemed a bit impatient. Without waiting for the cultivators to react, he waved his hand and a jade talisman flew out. The moment the jade talisman shined brightly, a screen of light appeared in the sky. Countless words quickly appeared on the screen.
"This is the list of rewards that can be exchanged for. After looking carefully, you can exchange for your reward on the spot!"
