Zhongli Yuxin raised her eyebrows, "But the spirit of the Divine Sword is said to be stubborn. For so many years, countless core disciples have been unable to get close to the Divine Sword!"
"Moreover, it is said that the ancestor master back then also could not conquer the spirit of the Divine Sword. Although the ancestor master obtained the sword, he could not use it."
"Of course, after becoming the young sovereign, they would still need to undergo an assessment to confirm that they possess the qualities and strategies of a sovereign before officially becoming the sect master."
"However, for over tens of thousands of years, no core disciple, holy son, or holy daughter has been able to approach the Divine Sword, so the difficulty of this reward is akin to trying to pluck a star from the sky!"
"Additionally, when the ancestor master was alive, he saw that no core disciples from the Holy Gate could gain the recognition of the Divine Sword. The lack of a young sovereign resulted in the ancestor master eventually agreeing to let the high council of the nine meridians and the sovereign discuss together, to grant the title of holy son and holy daughter to some outstanding disciples to compete for the position of young sovereign."
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun remained calm on the surface, but he was actually extremely excited!
He could almost confirm that this Divine Sword was the primordial chaos divine sword that the ancestor master had stolen from the abyss of the buried gods!
For Tan Yun, this was an enormous surprise, and he secretly vowed to retrieve the primordial chaos divine sword in a year!
"Yuxin, what rank of rewards did you say there were?" Tan Yun asked, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"There are top respect grade and supreme respect grade, and even inferior saint level rewards," Zhongli Yuxin replied emphatically.
"Great, that's wonderful!" Tan Yun's mood soared, "Yuxin, thank you for informing me. As for whether to participate, I will consider it carefully."
"In the coming year, I need to go into seclusion. We will meet again in a year."
Afterward, Tan Yun watched Zhongli Yuxin leave...
Then, Tan Yun returned to the Meritorious Sacred Realm, and after half an hour, he appeared above the Meritorious Dojo.
Tan Yun looked down, his eyes revealing deep longing.
In his sight was Shen Subing, who had reached great perfection in the sacred soul realm, elegantly standing on Meritorious High Platform No. 1, telling something to the over five thousand disciples of the Meritorious Lineage.
Beside her stood Shen Suzhen, who was at the second level of the soul pulse realm, cold as ice.
Below the high platform, Tuoba Yingying, Mu Mengyi, Zhong Wu Shiyao, Xue Ziyan, Huangfu Yu, and Nangong Ruxue stood at the forefront of six rows of disciples.
Tan Yun quickly noticed that Mu Mengyi, Zhong Wu Shiyao, Xue Ziyan, and Huangfu Yu had already reached the fifth layer of the sacred soul realm!
Nangong Ruxue was at the fourth layer of the sacred soul realm!
And Tuoba Yingying, being the reincarnation of the heavenly clan divine lord, had terrifyingly reached the seventh layer of the sacred soul realm!
When Shen Subing sensed someone spying from the sky, a killing intent burst forth in her eyes!
"Who..." Shen Subing suddenly raised her head, her icy reprimand cutting off abruptly as she looked up at Tan Yun, who was standing in mid-air, a fleeting hint of longing flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"Brother-in-law!" Xue Ziyan exclaimed with wide eyes, jokingly saying, "You are finally back! You said you would leave for a year, and it has been over four years!"
Mu Mengyi and Zhong Wu Shiyao looked at Tan Yun, their eyes brimming with deep affection. Upon seeing Tan Yun return safely, they felt relieved.
"I paused for a bit during seclusion and just reached the first level of the sacred soul realm, so I rushed back," Tan Yun beamed, transforming into a blur and appearing before the disciples, speaking to Mu Mengyi and the others, "We will talk later."
"Okay." The girls nodded.
