Shen Changchuan paid no mind to the turmoil outside.
In this grand competition, he had exposed nearly all his trump cards, which left him faintly uneasy.
But—
It had all been worth it!
Because—
The Myriad Dao Diagram was in his hands!
Not long ago, when he defeated Lin Wushuang and the grand competition came to an end, Sect Master True Person Xuanfeng drifted onto the stage. As usual, he offered everyone a few words of encouragement—nothing more than empty phrases like, "Cultivate diligently and train hard; eventually, you will ascend the Immortal Path."
Shen Changchuan's mind had wandered far afield, treating it like the long, dull meetings held by leaders in his previous life. What entered his left ear left through his right.
Yet at one moment, the Sect Master's next words instantly snapped him back to attention.
"Shen Changchuan, you have taken first place in this grand competition. The sect should naturally reward you generously. What do you desire?"
At the time, Shen Changchuan's thoughts raced. He vaguely understood the Sect Master's hint and cautiously spoke up.
"This disciple boldly requests that I be granted a Myriad Dao Diagram."
Thus, beneath the watchful eyes of the crowd, Sect Master True Person Xuanfeng revealed a slight look of difficulty and publicly explained that the Myriad Dao Diagram was extraordinarily precious.
Furthermore, many Personal Disciples who had toiled diligently and rendered outstanding service to the Immortal Sect were still waiting in line to apply for one.
But then two other elders of the Mysterious Pill realm spoke up, saying that Shen Changchuan, the first-place winner of the grand competition, was qualified to receive a Myriad Dao Diagram as a reward. Moreover, this grand competition had been held precisely to select sufficiently outstanding disciples of the Immortal Sect for cultivation.
