Yuan Yan briefly surveyed the cultivation progress of the Three Thousand Purple Firmament Palace Guests, then withdrew his senses and waited quietly for Dao Ancestor Hongjun to announce the end of the Second Lecture at Purple Firmament Palace.
However, after Hongjun stopped preaching, he paused for several breaths to allow the Three Thousand Purple Firmament Palace Guests to emerge from their states of enlightenment. Rather than announcing the end of the Second Lecture at Purple Firmament Palace and letting them leave on their own, he turned his gaze toward Yuan Yan.
"Yuan Yan!"
"This disciple is here!" Yuan Yan was slightly stunned. Though he was immensely surprised and puzzled as to why Hongjun had summoned him, he reacted in an instant, rose to his feet, and respectfully performed a disciple's salute.
"You are quite good! You improved the Three Corpses Severing Method created by this old Daoist. These three treasures shall be bestowed upon you!"
With that, Hongjun lightly waved his hand. Three streams of light suddenly flew out and hovered before Yuan Yan.
They were the Water Spirit Pearl, the Fire Spirit Pearl, and the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls.
Looking at the three Innate Spiritual Treasures before him, Yuan Yan's pupils suddenly contracted, and delight surged through his heart.
Individually, the Water Spirit Pearl and Fire Spirit Pearl were merely High-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures containing thirty-six Innate Divine Restrictions. Though precious, they were not especially rare to Yuan Yan.
Yet when these two Spirit Pearls were combined with the Earth Spirit Pearl, Wood Spirit Pearl, and Metal Spirit Pearl in his possession, they could become the Innate Five-Element Spirit Pearls—a set of Top-Tier Innate Spiritual Treasures containing forty-eight Innate Divine Restrictions. They were perfectly suited to serve as the vessel for nurturing the Benevolent Corpse Dao Body.
