Chapter 684: A New Nickname
Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi
“I am guessing that from tomorrow onward, your nickname of being ‘a dual genius in array and crafts’ is going to become ‘the ultimate genius who’s skilled in all four paths’.”
The Leader of the Path of Alchemy exclaimed and made a statement that once against brought everyone into a state of shock.
In the entire Shang Qing Sect, only one person was known to be talented in both crafts and arrays. That person is the legendary Master Xian.
Therefore, when everyone heard how Ling Xian’s nickname was about to be changed, everyone was stunned. When they remembered the name of the Heaven’s Favorite before them, they realized something.
The extraordinary looking young man in white is the Master who shocked the entire Shang Qing Sect!
Everyone was absolutely stunned at this. After moments of silence, a new round of cheer and compliments erupted.
“So he is the legendary Master Xian! I cannot believe how young he is!”
“He is so young yet he achieved such much glory. This is unbelievable.”
“He is a multi-talented Heaven’s Favorite after all. Perhaps only he can achieve such blinding glory at this age.”
Everyone uttered their disbelief. They felt like the young man inside the battle ring was blinding them as if he was the eternal Sun in the sky that brightened every inch of land.
If Ling Xian had claimed to be the legendary Master since the beginning, then everyone would laugh at him. However, he had proven his abilities using facts. Naturally, everyone believed him now.
He was already blinding everyone after winning under all four Paths and becoming a pioneer. Now that his ident.i.ty as Master Xian was exposed, the light around him was even more dazzling. Everyone was finding it hard to open their eyes.
“You are flattering me. I merely have some achievements and I am not an ultimate genius by any means.” Ling Xian grinned. His white robe fluttered softly in the wind, making him look extraordinary.
“I am not flattering you at all.”
The Leader of the Path of Alchemy stroked his beard and smiled, “Out of everyone in the younger generation of Yuezhou, cultivation, arrays, crafts, and alchemy, you are top notch in all of them. Why wouldn’t I use ‘ultimate’ to describe you.”
“That’s right. With your capabilities, you are deserving of that adjective.” The Leader of Arrays chimed in. Other than praises in his eyes, there was also heat.
Thinking about how this multi-talented Heaven’s Favorite belonged to the Path of Crafts, his heated gaze turned into pity.
To him, for such a genius alchemist to be practicing other specialties other than alchemy was a waste of talent. No matter how pitiful he felt, however, he couldn’t say anything about it.
What could he do? This insane Ling Xian was achieved in everything.
“It seems like the nickname I gave you is not going to escape.”
The Leader of the Dao Peak sighed, “Remember when I first saw and said you would for sure regret choosing the Path of Crafts… You must be laughing at what I said back then.”
Hearing this, the other three peak leaders all revealed how embarra.s.sed they were as well.
“I am not at all laughing. I understand.” Ling Xian grinned. He never thought too much about that.
“As long as you understand.”
The Dao peak leader beamed. “I won’t say much more than congratulating you for winning the t.i.tle for all the compet.i.tions.”
“Haha, now you are definitely famous. I bet after today, everyone will know your name.” The War Peak Leader laughed out loud.
The Immorality Peak Leader’s handsome face revealed a rare smile. “Not only that. Your name will be heard all over the world and it will be written forever in the history of the Shang Qing Sect. Even if our descendants forget about me, they won’t forget about you.”
Forever in history?
The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up into a bright smile.
Though he was not a person who saw great importance in fame, being forever in history was everyone’s dream. Ling Xian was no exception.
Very quickly, he erased the smile off his face, “I won’t say any more compliments to you anymore. Let us talk about some practical things.”
Hearing this, these important figures first froze but then quickly realized that he was asking for his rewards.
“You… did you really think we’d h.o.a.rd your rewards.”
The Dao Peak Leader laughed. Thinking about how Ling Xian was going to end up with all the rewards for the four Paths, he said, “You are rich now, young man. 200,000 contribution points is a large sum of wealth.”
“If it weren’t for the great awards, I wouldn’t be here.” Ling Xian teased.
“You sure don’t lie.” The Dao Peak leader chuckled. He then formed a strange seal and a purple token rose before him.
Then, Ling Xian felt the jade token above his chest getting warmer and warmer. After he took it out, his face blossomed into a smile.
Because the contribution points total on the token increased by 50,000.
Just then, the other leaders of the paths all formed hand seals and transferred 50,000 contribution points to Ling Xian.
This made his eyes s.h.i.+ne even brighter and deepened his smile.
200,000 contribution points were some people’s lifetime worth of wealth. In these people’s eyes, it was no ordinary wealth.
As he was drowning in his own happiness, the Dao Peak Leader and the other leaders all took out a black token.
This token was completely black and in the middle was the carving of a person sitting in a lotus position. On the back of the token, the word “enlightenment” was carved on. It looked mysterious.
The Token of Enlightenment.
Anyone, at any time, could use this token to enter the Cliff of Enlightenment. There were three different types of tokens for this. The lowest level allowed the cultivator to spend an hour at the Cliff of Enlightenment. The highest level allows a cultivator to be there for an entire day.
Without a doubt, the token before everyone was the highest level possible.
This brightened Ling Xian’s eyes and smile.
The Cliff of Enlightenment was one of the strangest places inside the Shang Qing Sect. There, many older generations have left behind inheritances and experiences. If one could enter the place, then no matter how ungifted one is at enlightenment, one could learn something new.
With Ling Xian’s level of enlightenment, it could be predicted that Ling Xian will have much to gain!
Thus, he smiled. He smiled colorfully.
“I had such great gains. Whether it is the 200,000 contribution points or the chance to stay at the Cliff of Enlightenment for four days. All of these are opportunities normal people cannot get.”
Ling Xian was full of joy. After studying the token for a while, he placed it inside his storage pocket.
At this, the Dao Peak Leader sighed. “To have as long as four days at the Cliff of Enlightenment… that kind of treatment is something even I have not experienced.”
Everyone softly sighed at this. They were all kinds of jealous.
“It’s my reward for working hard all day.” Ling Xian softly smiled. What he said made everyone speechless.
Did you work hard all day?
What bulls.h.!.+t! You merely ran to four different places all day, what made you so tired!
Everyone glared at him. If you think you are deserving of 200,000 contribution points with just doing that, then I am willing to work that hard every day just to gain what you have gained!
At this, Ling Xian laughed out loud. Then, he lunged up and left.
Now that he had his rewards, it was time for him to rest.
As he left, the Compet.i.tion of the Four Paths also came to an end.
