At the Emperor Venerate's words, many of the gathered beings immediately lit up with excitement.
Many among them were Free Cultivators.
They had access to very few resources, so even an Innate Spiritual Treasure would be an extraordinary reward.
Those who had yet to reach the Great Principle Golden Immortal realm were especially fired up when they saw the Yin Yang Ring in the Emperor Venerate's hand.
After all, an Innate Spiritual Treasure was essential for a Great Principle Golden Immortal to advance to Quasi-Saint. They needed to entrust the obsession they cut away to an Innate Spiritual Treasure.
"Just as you'd expect from the ruler of the Heavenly Court!"
"He's offering an Innate Spiritual Treasure right off the bat."
"If I could get my hands on this treasure, wouldn't I have a chance of advancing to Quasi-Saint someday?"
"I really want to win that prize!"
"..."
The gathered beings exclaimed in amazement, each of them eager to take part.
However, none of them stepped forward.
After all, besides Free Cultivators like them, many disciples from the Saints' sects had also come to attend the Flat Peach Gathering.
If those disciples entered the contest, it would be much harder for Free Cultivators to win the treasure.
While the gathered beings discussed the matter, the Saints present remained completely calm.
At their level, Innate Spiritual Treasures were nothing special.
As for contests between those beneath the Quasi-Saint realm, to them, it was no different from children at play.
Just then, Saint Tongtian narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced around at the other Saints, smiling as he said:
"Since this is a grand gathering,"
"and all of you fellow Saints are here, it would seem a little dull if the Heavenly Emperor were the only one offering a prize."
"How about this?
