Qin Hao was shaken.
The Time Sword Lord was a top-tier Great Dao Dominator. According to Lingxiaozi, he ranked among the mightiest in the Myriad Worlds of the Star Sea.
Yet even a Sovereign that powerful had to pay an enormous price to enter the Heavenly Ruins and cultivate.
One could only imagine how extraordinary the Heavenly Ruins were.
"Qin Hao, what are the Laws of the Azure Flame Grand Tournament? What other rewards are there?" Lingxiaozi suddenly asked, his voice urgent.
"The tournament has three rounds, but the jade slip doesn't explain how they work. As for the rewards... the top ten become full disciples, the next ninety become provisional disciples, and there are various Cultivation Techniques, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."
Qin Hao gave Lingxiaozi a rough account of the Jade Slip's contents.
After listening, Lingxiaozi fell silent.
Qin Hao did not press him.
If even Lingxiaozi had fallen silent, there had to be something unusual about it.
A moment later, Lingxiaozi said thoughtfully, "Qin Hao, the Heavenly Ruins weren't offered as a reward in previous tournaments, were they?"
Qin Hao thought for a moment, then nodded.
If they had been, someone on the True Martial Continent would surely have known what the Heavenly Ruins were. Yet judging by what he had just seen, many people had no idea.
They did not even know what the Heavenly Ruins were.
"The Laws aren't stated outright, and the rewards are vague. They only briefly mention Cultivation Techniques, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."
Lingxiaozi's tone grew grave.
Qin Hao realized it too, and his eyes narrowed.
"Something has changed about this Azure Flame Grand Tournament." Qin Hao took a deep breath.
Only five days remained before the tournament began.
By rights, there was no longer any need to conceal its Laws.
