Chapter 2169: Generous Reward!
The Sovereign's Ascension
Lin Yun came alone, and was surprised when he came into the main hall. Not only was the Thousand Plume Great Saint there, but the two mistresses, his master, senior brother, and Dao Yang Holy Son were also there. The scale was a little huge, but this also showed that the Thousand Plume Great Saint was on their side, and his concerns were unnecessary.
âI pay my greetings to the Thousand Plume Great Saint,â Lin Yun bowed.
âYe Qingtian, youâre now the Heavenly Dragon Lord. This isnât an empty title, and not just anyone within the Kunlun Realm can accept your bow, aside from Emperors,â the Thousand Plume Great Saint amicably smiled. âYou managed to become the champion of this Blue Dragon Record, and this also brought glory to the sect. But I have a question, why did you reject the Empressâ invitation?â
Lin Yun was baffled, before he turned to look at Ye Guhan, who winked and gave him a smile. Since he didnât receive any hints from Ye Guhan, Lin Yun could only reply, âThis disciple already has a master.â
âDragon Origin Great Saint, youâve taken in a good disciple,â the Thousand Plume Great Saint smiled. He didnât point it out, and continued, âMy disciple mustâve told you before. The sect has intentions of making you a holy son, and I will formally ask you as the Dao Yang Palaceâs Palace Master. Are you willing to become the Heavenly Dao Sectâs holy son? You must know that there are many secrets that cannot be passed to you if you donât become the holy son.â
There were naturally some secrets that were only available to holy sons. Lin Yun naturally knew that this was equivalent to binding himself with the Heavenly Dao Sect. The Heavenly Dao Sect has existed since ancient times, and they definitely had many powerful martial techniques, but he couldnât become the holy son. He didnât want to deceive anyone, so he politely declined.
The Thousand Plume Great Saint looked amicable, but no longer asked about it. He said, âHow about this. You can just tell me what you want. Except for those secret techniques, you can make any request you want.â
âIf possible, I wish to obtain eighth-grade True Dragon Saint Liquid.â His attitude made Lin Yun feel less stressed. He carefully added, âThe quantity is a little high.â
Eighth-grade True Dragon Saint Liquid was precious. The seventh-grade True Dragon Saint Liquid that Lin Yun exchanged with contribution points back then had helped him greatly. The True Dragon Saint Liquid wasnât for himself but Lilâ Purple. He had the Azure Dragon Divine Physique, and Lilâ Purple had the Phoenix Tree. These two were big consumers of True Dragon Saint Liquid.
He was feeling uneasy because he required at least 25,000 kilograms, and this was a terrifying sum of resources. But the moment he spoke up, the Thousand Plume Great Saint laughed along with the Serene Dust Great Saint and Dragon Origin Great Saint.
âDo you know the weight of your title as the Heavenly Dragon Lord? If itâs in the other holy lands, you might receive some precious treasures,â the Thousand Plume Great Saint smiled, stroking his beard.
The Dragon Origin Great Saint smiled, âMy disciple is an honest person.â
Before Lin Yun could understand what was going on, the Thousand Plume Great Saint said, âHow about this, Iâll prepare half a cauldron of eighth-grade True Dragon Saint Liquid for you, along with 5,000 kilograms of ninth-grade True Dragon Saint Liquid, and 500 kilograms of Divine Dragon Saint Liquid.â
Lin Yun opened his mouth in surprise with his mind buzzing. He was so shocked that he couldnât say a thing.
âHoly shit, how generous! Iâm almost frightened to death!â Even Lilâ Purple was shocked within the Iris Secret Realm.
âLetâs go with that first. When you reach the Saint Realm, Iâll prepare another droplet of divine blood for you,â the Thousand Plume Great Saint smiled.
Before Lin Yun could come to his senses, he was further shocked by the Thousand Plume Great Saintâs words. Is that the foundation of an immortal holy land? Isnât this a little too unfathomable? How unbelievable would it be if I became the holy son?
Seemingly to see through Lin Yunâs thoughts, the Thousand Plume Great Saint smiled, âThe Heavenly Dao Sect has existed since ancient times. Weâve produced many Emperors throughout the river of time, with our branches throughout the Kunlun Realm. Three thousand years ago, weâre powerful within the Kunlun Realm, possessing the qualifications to compete for hegemony. That's why the Heavenly Dao Sect is naturally not as simple as you think. Itâs not too late for you to regret now, and you will only receive more if you become the holy son of the Heavenly Dao Sect.â
Lin Yun came to his senses, and smiled, âThank you, Thousand Plume Great Saint. Since I have refused the offer, letâs not mention it again.â
âAlright. You can tell me if you need anything else,â the Thousand Plume Great Saint said.
âThatâs enough, thatâs enough,â Lin Yun said. The Thousand Plume Great Saint was already very generous, so generous that Lin Yun was frightened. After all, ninth-grade True Dragon Saint Liquid was refined with the blood of True Dragons, containing no impurities. Not to mention it even required ten-odd saint elixirs to refine it.
The value of ninth-grade True Dragon Saint Liquid was more precious than True Dragonâs blood. As for Divine Dragon Saint Liquid, Lin Yun never even thought about it before. He never expected that the Thousand Plume Great Saint would give him a droplet of divine blood after he reached the Saint Realm. So it turns out that there were deities in this world!
More accurately speaking, the Heavenly Dao Sect had deities in ancient times. Otherwise, there would be no explanation on how they had the divine blood.
âAre you looking down on the Heavenly Dao Sect? Why arenât you saying anything? Are you not giving the Thousand Plume Great Saint face?â The Dragon Origin Great Saint reprimanded.
âI dare not.â Lin Yun awkwardly smiled because he had never experienced something like this before. He didnât know what to ask for, and he hesitated for a long time before he asked, âIs there the complete version of the Dragon Sun and Moon Seal?â
âThis is a little troublesome,â the Thousand Plume Great Saint said.
Lin Yun was shocked because he thought that his request was too much.
The Dragon Origin Great Saint explained, âThere are many incomplete martial techniques, and some are treasures. Most of them cannot be used, and itâs a hassle for the sect to clean up with everything piled up. So the sect wonât pay attention to it if it isnât anything special.â
The corner of Lin Yunâs lips twitched. It turned out that the level of the Dragon Sun and Moon Seal was so low that the experts within the sect never paid attention to it.
âOnly unique martial techniques are specially kept, like martial techniques engraved on a divine bone or words that were engraved on a fragment of a divine artifact. Even if those are incomplete, it will cause a big stir in the world,â the Dragon Origin Great Saint explained.
âI remember thereâs a fragment of the Dragon Sun and Moon Cauldron. It was obtained by a senior in the ruins of the battlefield between deities. Iâll find it for you later,â the Thousand Plume Great Saint said.
Lin Yunâs eyes lit up, before he cupped his hands together, âThank you, Thousand Plume Great Saint!â
Lin Yun couldnât find any words to describe his feeling, and the rewards from the sect were so generous that it made it hard to breathe.
âWhat else do you want?â The Thousand Plume Great Saint asked with a smile.
Lin Yunâs breathing suddenly became hurried, and he was so surprised that he lost the ability to think. But just when he was about to speak, Ye Guhan suddenly looked at him with a smile and shook his head lightly.
This made Lin Yun come to his senses, and he said, âThatâs enough. I donât need anything else.â
âAlright. Iâll get Dao Yang to deliver the saint liquid to you within three days,â the Thousand Plume Great Saint said.
âIâll send it to him. You guys can continue discussing the important matters,â Ye Guhan said. When the Thousand Plume Great Saint saw this, he was briefly stunned.
âYe Qingtian, take it.â The Heavenly Jade Sword Saint stopped Lin Yun and threw a golden jade slip over to Lin Yun.
The golden jade slip was heavy, and Lin Yun didnât know what material it was made of. Just holding it in his hand was taxing to him. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Heavenly Jade Sword Saint said, âThis is the third section of the Divine Firefly Sword, but I canât teach it to you.â
âThank you, Missâ¦â Lin Yun nearly called out âMistress,â but quickly changed his tone after coming to his senses, âThank you, Martial Aunt.â
âYou can leave now,â the Heavenly Jade Sword Saint said.
Lin Yun was led out by Ye Guhan, but was still in a trance from the amount of rewards.
âStill havenât come to your senses yet?â Ye Guhan smiled, chewing on a Divine Dragon Fruit.
âA little,â Lin Yun nodded.
âYou still want more?â Ye Guhan smiled.
âWell, yeah,â Lin Yun scratched his head awkwardly. How could one have enough resources? Even if he didnât need it, he could keep it and count them in his free time.
âHa.â Ye Guhan knocked Lin Yunâs head, and smiled, âWhat are you thinking about? Iâll tell you honestly. Even a holy son canât obtain so many resources.â
Lin Yun was briefly stunned, and his mind cleared up when a breeze blew past. That made sense since just the True Dragon Saint Liquid was an unimaginable amount. Letâs not mention the Divine Dragon Saint Liquid or ninth-grade True Dragon Saint Liquid, just half a cauldron of eighth-grade True Dragon Saint Liquid alone was unimaginable to Lin Yun. After all, half a cauldron was equivalent to at least 250,000 kilograms!
âHalf a cauldron of eighth-grade True Dragon Saint Liquid is about one-tenth of what the Heavenly Dao Sect has in its possession,â Ye Guhan said.
âThat much?â Lin Yun was startled. But he realized that something wasnât right, and asked, âWhatâs going on?â
Ye Guhan casually chewed on the fruit, then said, âIf a person is going to die, whatâs the use of his treasures?â
âIs the Heavenly Dao Sect in trouble?â Lin Yunâs face changed.
âThatâs not the case,â Ye Guhan smiled. He continued, âBut who can be sure about that? Just accept it with a peace of mind. Even if you donât take it, the four major clans will definitely take them.â
âThey wonât agree to it, right?â Lin Yun asked.
âOf course, they wonât agree. After all, this is no different from cutting their flesh and drinking their blood,â Ye Guhan said with a mocking voice, then he heavily pat Lin Yun. He said in disdain, âBut youâre not bad yourself. With the Heavenly Dragon Lord title, thereâs nothing they can do about it, even if they have objections. If they want it, they will have to get their disciples to obtain the Heavenly Dragon Lordâs title as well!â
Ye Guhan looked at Lin Yun, and smiled, âJunior Brother, youâre worthy of my love. I believe our master will be happy once he learns of it, and you have brought honor to him. When he becomes an Emperor in the future, he will surely have a face when he talks about it with others.â
Lin Yun felt a warmth in his heart and happily chatted with Ye Guhan while they walked.
âSenior Brother, thereâs something I donât understand. The Heavenly Dao Sect has such a huge foundation, so why didnât they give more rewards to the saint disciples?â Lin Yun asked. Even the harvest of a hundred saint disciples added together for a hundred years might not be comparable to his harvest.
Ye Guhan sighed, and smiled, âItâs cruel to say this, but the sect needs geniuses the most. Not ordinary geniuses, but peerless geniuses. Otherwise, itâs useless even if we give them more resources, and it might bring disaster to them instead. For exampleâ¦â
âLike me?â Lin Yun smiled.
Lin Yun said that as a joke, but Ye Guhanâs face became serious, and he said, âLike Tian Xuanzi.â
