At this moment.

  Everyone present was stunned.

  Especially those who weren't there when Xiao Lingchen slaughtered a million Demon Race cultivators.

  The elders from various sects on the high platform were even more dumbfounded.

  They flew down from the platform.

  Carefully inspected.

  Until they confirmed that the heads Xiao Lingchen presented were indeed those of the Demon Race.

  Their hearts were completely unsettled!

  "This..."

  "How could there be so many Demon Race heads?"

  "Kid, did you wipe out the Demon Race cultivators in the Dark Forest?"

  Xiao Lingchen nodded noncommittally:

  "More or less."

  After speaking.

  He casually tossed the heads of the Demon Race elders, including Ye Qianfu, onto the ground, still holding Ye Cangxuan's head in his hand.

  At this moment.

  The elders of the various sects were numb.

  Wiping out the Demon Race?

  Could a mere sect disciple accomplish such a feat?

  "Kid, you didn't kill all these demons by yourself, did you?"

  "You must have used some cheating method to collect so many heads."

  The elders of the sects couldn't believe that a sect disciple like Xiao Lingchen could wipe out all the Demon Race in the Dark Forest.

  Even though the Demon Race in the Dark Forest was just a branch of the vast Demon Race, it was still outrageous!

  However, before Xiao Lingchen could respond.

  The disciples of the Supreme Mystical Sect behind him couldn't sit still.

  Someone spoke up:

  "These two elders, you need evidence when you speak! We, tens of thousands of us, witnessed Junior Brother Lingchen slaughtering the million Demon Race cultivators!"

  Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author's preferred platform and support their work!

  "Yes! Not just us from the Supreme Mystical Sect, but disciples from other sects can testify too!"

  As they spoke.

  The tens of thousands of sect disciples who were previously besieged by the Demon Race also chimed in.

  Testifying for Xiao Lingchen.

  On that day, they were besieged by a million Demon Race cultivators, their lives hanging by a thread.

  If Xiao Lingchen hadn't appeared and turned the tide, they might not have survived to this day.

  Naturally, they couldn't stand to see Xiao Lingchen being falsely accused.

  With so many people testifying for him.

  Elder Yunzhu beamed with joy, patting Xiao Lingchen on the shoulder:

  "Hahaha! Good! Very good!"

  "As expected of you, kid."

  "You've truly brought great honor to our Supreme Mystical Sect!"

  "After the settlement is over, besides the tournament rewards, I'll personally give you some additional benefits, hahaha!"

  Looking at Elder Lin Chunguang of the Tianjian Sect, whose beard was practically flying with anger.

  Elder Yunzhu felt an indescribable satisfaction.

  At the same time, he couldn't help but marvel at Xiao Lingchen's extraordinary talent.

  He still remembered that just a few months ago, Xiao Lingchen was a pitiful person with no cultivation, being hunted down to their Supreme Mystical Sect.

  And now, in less than a year, he had grown to such a terrifying extent!

  Such talent, not just in their Supreme Mystical Sect, but even in the vast Celestial Star Kingdom, and the entire Eastern Prosperity Domain, could be considered defying the heavens!

  With the heads of these millions of Demon Race cultivators, the Supreme Mystical Sect unsurprisingly took first place in this Sect Tournament.

  More than half of the stakes from the thirteen sects went to the Supreme Mystical Sect as a reward.

  And Xiao Lingchen also received the individual reward for being the first in the Sect Tournament.

  That was five million higher-grade Spirit Stones, an Earth Grade higher-grade Divine Power, two Earth Grade higher-grade Divine Artifacts, three Sixth Grade Spiritual Pills of the Hunyuan Dan, and a chance to enter the True Martial Space!

  The Sect Tournament thus came to an end.

  Except for the top three sects that received rewards, the other sects left in disappointment.

  In this Sect Tournament, they could be said to have lost both their soldiers and their wives.

  After they left.

  The Supreme Mystical Sect also conducted an internal ranking.

  The higher the ranking of a peak, the more resources it would receive from the sect in the coming year.

  And this time, Small Bamboo Peak was finally no longer at the bottom.

  That day, Yun Zhanyi and Xiao Lingchen joined forces, taking advantage of the Demon Race cultivators' unpreparedness, and killed tens of thousands of demons.

  Single-handedly, they pulled Small Bamboo Peak's ranking to the top.

  This made Yun Zhanyi, Ning Huanhuan, and others extremely happy.

  As the ranking concluded, the disciples from each peak dispersed.

  Elder Yunzhu came to Xiao Lingchen and handed him the promised reward.

  And upon seeing the reward.

  Xiao Lingchen was momentarily stunned.

  "This is... the Fuguang Jade Mirror Sundial?"

  Elder Yunzhu was also taken aback:

  "How do you know of this item?"

  Xiao Lingchen smiled wryly, taking out the Fuguang Jade Mirror Sundial previously given by Yu Haoran and said:

  "To be honest, Elder, I also have one."

  "It was given to me by a friend before."

  "I see."

  Elder Yunzhu nodded and said:

  "Then giving this to you means you've really gained something."

  Xiao Lingchen was puzzled:

  "What do you mean, Elder?"

  He already had one Fuguang Jade Mirror Sundial, wouldn't having another be a waste?

  Elder Yunzhu smiled and said:

  "This Fuguang Jade Mirror Sundial has an unknown origin. As far as I know, there are six in the world, each capable of controlling the flow of time."

  "However, the effect of each Fuguang Jade Mirror Sundial on time flow is limited."

  "If you can obtain two Fuguang Jade Mirror Sundials and merge them, their effects can be compounded."

  Hearing this.

  Xiao Lingchen's eyes lit up.

  Then, Elder Yunzhu handed the Fuguang Jade Mirror Sundial to Xiao Lingchen, and visibly, the two Fuguang Jade Mirror Sundials seemed to react.

  They attracted each other, merging together.

  Finally.

  The two Fuguang Jade Mirror Sundials became one.

  The originally unremarkable Fuguang Jade Mirror Sundials now transformed into a more mysterious new form.

  Xiao Lingchen roughly sensed it, and now this Fuguang Jade Mirror Sundial could change the flow of time around him by 50%, or 1.5 times!

  Such an enhancement.

  Made Xiao Lingchen extremely delighted.

  Don't underestimate the mere 20% increase in speed, but whether for cultivation or combat, it provides a significant boost!

  It also made Xiao Lingchen realize that there are six such Fuguang Jade Mirror Sundials in the world!

  Two merged could already change the time flow by 1.5 times, but if all six were merged, how much could the time flow change?

  Xiao Lingchen didn't dare to imagine, but he was sure it would be incredibly heaven-defying!

  If given the chance, he could inquire about the whereabouts of the remaining six Fuguang Jade Mirror Sundials.

  After giving the reward.

  Elder Yunzhu patted Xiao Lingchen on the shoulder again, speaking earnestly:

  "You, kid, your talent is too heaven-defying."

  "Remember the saying, 'The tree that stands out in the forest is easily broken.' You must work even harder to cultivate and improve your strength."

  "And try to keep a low profile in your actions."

  Xiao Lingchen bowed.

  But he felt that Elder Yunzhu seemed to have more to say.

  So he asked:

  "Low profile? What do you mean, Elder?"

  Elder Yunzhu replied with a hint of exasperation:

  "What do you think?"

  "Didn't you notice that there are only twelve sects left at today's tournament settlement?"

  "Your rampant slaughter of the Tianyan Sect disciples in the Dark Forest has already been known to the Tianyan Sect."

  "At this moment, the Tianyan Sect is probably already discussing how to retaliate against you!"

  Pawread.
