Chapter 142: Distribution of Rewards

  Chen Xuan followed the others into the large formation, heading towards Zhu Wu Hall. As soon as they stepped into the formation, everyone felt a sudden relaxation, their pores opening wide, and the surging spiritual energy around them rushed forward. The spiritual power here was several times more concentrated than that of the Xuanyuan Tower, and if one were to cultivate here, it would at least halve the time required. Everyone could feel the spiritual energy here being much denser than outside, and they all breathed heavily.

  Chen Xuan also released a wisp of Tianyun furnace, secretly absorbing the spiritual energy here. Chen Xuan felt that not only was the spiritual energy here more abundant than outside, but it seemed to contain a hint of other energies. When Chen Xuan absorbed a wisp of spiritual energy with the Tianyun furnace, he felt it, but didn't understand what it meant. Never mind, just store it for now and talk about it later.

  Everyone was staring at the footsteps of the young man in white, seemingly unintentional, but actually full of hidden meaning. The heavenly treasures that had transformed into small people around him saw someone coming and started to giggle. These transformed spiritual medicines were at least 5,000 or 6,000 years old, and some had already begun to open their spiritual wisdom, able to cultivate on their own. However, those that could open their spiritual wisdom could no longer be considered spiritual medicine, but only spiritual demons.

  A group of people didn't dare to take a wrong step, after nearly an hour's time, everyone finally arrived at the gate of Zhuwu Hall. Before, they had only taken a glimpse from afar, but now the real Zhuwu Hall was presented before everyone's eyes, resplendent and majestic, cleverly crafted, shining with golden light, these words could no longer describe Chen Xuan's emotions at this moment.

  When everyone walked to the gate of Zhu Wu Temple, the majesty emanating from inside almost made everyone surrender, without a single thought of resistance. Everyone was so overwhelmed by the aura that they couldn't lift their heads, and their legs were completely disobedient, making it difficult for them to take another step.

  "This is the final test for you, a small challenge to see who can be the first to reach the main hall of Zhuwu Temple. If you can't even pass this level, then being in the top ten will be just an empty name. From now on, it's up to yourselves." After finishing speaking, two disciples left, leaving eleven people standing in their original positions, each person's body bent downwards under pressure.

  Eleven people stood at the gate of Zhuwu Hall, and the pressure emanating from Zhuwu Hall suppressed these eleven people to the point where they couldn't move. Everyone activated all their spiritual power to resist this pressure, and a creaking sound came from each person's body. This pressure was enough to suppress even a Half-Step True Martial artist, making it impossible for them to lift their heads. What kind of strong practitioner could achieve this? Every face showed a terrified expression.

  Chen Xuan's body remained standing upright at the gate of Zhu Wu Hall, although he was also oppressed by this powerful pressure. However, Chen Xuan never bowed his head. The Tianyan furnace was operating frantically, and Chen Xuan's physical body had now reached the level of a high-grade spiritual instrument. This kind of pressure could not exert too much stress on Chen Xuan. With a loud crack, Chen Xuan took his first difficult step forward. At the same time that Chen Xuan took his first step, the other dozen or so people also began to move forward.

  One step, two steps... ten steps. When they reached the tenth step, all eleven people stopped and were panting heavily, and it was clear who had the greater strength.

  The tenth step, Chen Xuan finally took it, only four or five steps away from the gate. When Chen Xuan took his tenth step, Qian Kun also took a step forward, followed by Xiao Qiuyu. Clang! Chen Xuan took another step forward, with three more steps to go. Now, every time he takes a step forward, Chen Xuan's forehead is covered in sweat. Half an hour has passed, and no one has taken less than twenty steps.

  Bang, Chen Xuan took another step forward, his legs were already bent down, but Chen Xuan's forehead was still raised high, a domineering aura emanated from Chen Xuan's body, the surrounding pressure encountered this aura and actually retreated backward, as if encountering some nemesis, Chen Xuan suddenly felt the pressure lighten.

  Dong, dong, dong. Chen Xuan took the last three steps and finally crossed the threshold of Zhu Wu Hall. The pressure on his body immediately dissipated. The others didn't have it so easy. Those who were lagging behind were still stuck at the tenth step, their legs trembling, but each person was gritting their teeth and persevering.

  Chen Xuan ignored the others, after all, this was also a test, and cheating was impossible. He walked straight into the grand hall of Zhu Wu Temple, scanning the architecture with a glance. The atmosphere was solemn and majestic, yet not lacking in grandeur. Four large pillars stood upright around the perimeter, like the Pillars of Heaven, each one carved with intricate patterns - the four great divine beasts.

  Chen Xuan also discovered the carvings on the four pillars, Xuanwu, Zhuque, Qinglong and Baihu, each one lifelike, standing in the four directions of east, south, west and north. It turned out that this oppressive aura was emanating from the four pillars. Chen Xuan immediately sensed the waves of majesty emanating from the four pillars, but after stepping into the large dot, these auras surprisingly had no effect on himself. Apparently, they were only targeted at a distance of about fifteen steps in front of the Zhuwu Temple gate.

  Chen Xuan walked to the center of the main hall, and for a moment, there was no one else in the grand hall. Perhaps they were waiting for all the disciples to enter before appearing. Chen Xuan stood alone at the center of the grand hall. After Chen Xuan entered the grand hall for over a dozen breaths, Qian Kun also followed closely behind Chen Xuan's footsteps and stepped into the grand hall. Then, Xiao Qiuyu also walked in.

  "Fourth brother, I didn't expect you to be the first one to come in, have you found anything unusual?" Xiao Qiuyu said.

  "No, there's no one here when I came in, maybe we should wait until everyone arrives," Chen Xuan replied.

  Chen Xuan, Qian Kun, Xiao Qiuyu. The three of them could only wait for others to come in together. All three were looking around, the grand hall had over a hundred seats, but none of the three sat down. Ten meters in front of them was a huge dragon chair, which might be the position of the master of Dan Xuan Gate.

  After a while, the others also came in one after another, each looking like they had fainted, covered in sweat, even Fei Yan was drenched in sweat. Everyone gathered together, waiting for the person who would receive them to come out.

  More than ten people stood silently on the spot, no one speaking a word.

  Dong, dong, dong, the sound of five or six footsteps came over, and five or six people walked out from the back of the main hall. As soon as the six people appeared, a strong air pressure pressed down again, but this time it wasn't so intense, and it disappeared in an instant. Each one had a celestial wind and Taoist bone frame, with waves of yuan energy fluctuations emanating from their bodies.

  "You're all quite impressive, having passed the Four Beasts' Sacred Pressure without being deterred by its intimidation. Next, it's up to us six to present this year's rewards and announce the top ten rankings for the task. This year's Danxuan Gate competition is more intense than previous years, I think you've all felt that too. I am the Seventh Elder of Danxuan Gate, from now on, just call me Seventh Elder."

  Now, the tenth place reward is being issued. Li Cheng, this is your Yuanling Dan reward. A ring flew out of a man's hand and Li Cheng received it. He scanned it with his divine sense and found 100,000 Yuanling Dans inside, along with a porcelain bottle that should contain the Chuanghua Dan. Li Cheng took out the porcelain bottle, opened it, and poured out a golden pill, releasing a fragrant aroma.

  With a surge of excitement, he put the dan medicine back again and carefully picked up the ring.

  "Ninth, Xuan Yuan Li, another ring flew out. Xuan Yuan Li also caught the flying ring and scanned it with his divine sense before throwing it into his storage ring. Perhaps the Creation Pill didn't have much attraction to him."

  Eighth place, Wind Chime, the man once again threw out a ring, and Wind Chime also accepted the reward thrown by the man.

  All the way down to the third man, everyone had received their rewards, and all seven of them were smiling, especially the fourth and fifth place winners, who also received a spiritual artifact this year. No one was disappointed, as even those from sixth place onwards still received a Yuan Spiritual Dan.

  "Third, Xiao Qiuyu. The man threw out another ring. Xiao Qiuyu stretched out his hand to catch it and tossed it into his own ring without even looking at it, possibly also believing that the sect wouldn't cheat in this matter."

  "Second name, Qian Kun, men once again threw out a ring, Qian Kun also looked at it and put the thing into his own storage ring."

  "Next I will be presenting this year's championship awards, first place Chen Xuan 'Seven Elders' way;"

  Chen Xuan stood out and waited for the big shots upstairs to give himself a reward.

  "You're not bad, this time you can stand out among many disciples, I hope you can be like now in the future. Since joining Danxuanmen, I hope you will take the sect as the priority from now on." The Seventh Elder said with a majestic attitude;

  "I, Chen Xuan, have joined the Dan Xuan Gate, so of course the Dan Xuan Gate comes first. However, I hope that the sect will not be wary of me, Chen Xuan. Since I have joined the sect, I absolutely will not have any thoughts of betrayal."
