''Hahaha, not bad you brats. For the two of you to get born in the sa mortal world, this is truly a blessing for my 'Imperial Mandate sect'!'' The old man's eyes glead as he stared at Shun Long and Xuan Bo, as if he was looking at a pair of raw treasures he had discovered!
At this point, it was clear that while Shun Long and Xuan Bo could still fight, the young prince of the Tianxuan dynasty had already lost their battle. Although his body seed to still have so energy left, Xuan Bo had already depleted all of the qi inside his dantian and had even used his strongest attack, the 'Myriad Swords Convergence', just for Shun Long to destroy it in the end. If the two of them kept fighting anymore, without any qi to sustain his 'Dao of Samsara' Xuan Bo would only end up getting obliterated.
And yet, the smile on the old man's face only got more and more pronounced as he looked at the two young geniuses, as if the conclusion of their battle mattered little to him, before he waved his hand causing two spatial rings to fly out and stop in front of Shun Long and Xuan Bo.
Then, his voice rang out once again, reverberating throughout the battle-torn, ancient arena as he explained
''Each of those spatial rings contain a token for you to use when you arrive at the 'Imperial Mandate sect' in the future, as well as a few spirit stones for your cultivation. As per the rules of the trial grounds, the one in first place will get a hundred low-grade Immortal spirit stones while the one in second place will get fifty.''
In the next mont, Shun Long and Xuan Bo extended their hands almost simultaneously, touching the spatial rings that hovered in front of them before they sent their spiritual sense inside.
And indeed, what Shun Long saw next was enough to make even the heart of a Sovereign realm expert beat faster, as a single silver token and a small mound of jade-like spirit stones appeared in his vision.
After throwing a glance at the small silver token, Shun Long ultimately ignored it before he turned his attention towards the peculiar, erald-colored spirit stones right next to it.
Unlike the top-grade spirit stones he had gotten from the first trial that were pure white in color, these erald stones in front of him appeared completely different. Whether it was the quality of their qi or their quantity, they were clearly in a league of their own.
Even without the old man's explanation, Shun Long could instantly tell that these were genuine immortal-grade spirit stones. Although they were only low-grade ones, Shun Long would have to be a fool to not realize these spirit stones' value.
If peak-stage Sovereign realm experts and Earth Immortals cultivated using top-grade spirit stones, then these immortal-grade ones would be stones used by the true immortals who had already ascended in the 'Immortal Dinsion'.
It was also impossible to procure even a single low-grade immortal spirit stone in the central continent, let alone one hundred of them that were now sitting inside Shun Long's spatial ring!
After all, immortal-grade spirit stones were ford naturally after absorbing and solidifying the qi in the immortal dinsion.
Of course, the value of these spirit stones didn't just lie in the vast amounts of immortal qi they contained, but in a much deeper, even more important purpose.
At this point, Shun Long knew that if word got out that he possessed 100 immortal-grade spirit stones, the entire central continent would descend into chaos and even those secluded Earth Immortals would imdiately co out of their seclusion to fight for them.
Even Xuan Bo seed to feel the weight of the 50 spirit stones in his hands, as the young prince looked at the purple-robed overseer with a deep look. A mont later, the powerful Dao Emperor took a deep breath and asked ''Old man, how do you know if any of us will go to the 'Imperial Mandate sect' in the future? Your sect has set these trial grounds but what if I join another sect after I ascend to the 'Immortal Dinsion'? Are you going to chase after and kill or is it that you don't care even if I don't join your sect in the end?''
Instead of replying right away, the purple-robed elder had a mocking look on his face as he stared at Xuan Bo, as if he was looking at a mischievous child. Then, the old man turned to look at Shun Long who was still standing in the sky before suddenly bursting out in laughter, his booming voice shaking the ancient arena as he said
''Hahaha! You little brats are really daring to ask that question in my face. But alright, I don't mind explaining this to you two since you are almost guaranteed to ascend in the future and beco inner disciples of the sect.
First, I'll start with your mortal world. You brats should already know that this world you are in is just one of the many mortal worlds adjacent to the 'Immortal Dinsion'. Usually, worlds like yours won't produce more than a handful of immortals in one generation and sotis... they may not even produce a single one. However, in case an immortal does co out of it, once they ascend they'll enter the territory of the sect that's responsible for that world, which is my 'Imperial Mandate sect'!
After that, whether that person cos straight to the sect headquarters or joins one of the subordinate powers of my 'Imperial Mandate sect' doesn't matter, since they'll still belong to the sect at the end of the day. Do you understand now?''
At that mont, Shun Long looked at the old man without saying a word, but finally, the last piece of the puzzle had clicked in his mind, allowing him to get a clear view of the full picture!
