Commandant Nangong landed on the platform, his robes fluttering slightly, exuding authority. He was about to speak—
"Puff."
Everyone on Ethereal Peak burst into laughter.
Nangong Gua:?
It's those guys again! What are they laughing at?!
Xiao Tingyu shrugged slightly with a laugh. Ever since she learned of Commandant Nangong's identity, whenever she looked at him, she couldn't help but imagine a golden toad's head perched on a magnificent robe. How could she not laugh?
"Hiss~"
"Senior sister, pinch me gently," Fu Fengyuan said, feeling wronged.
Nangong Gua looked at Qiaoqiao, " Qiaoqiao of the Flowing Cloud Sect, congratulations on winning the championship of this competition."
Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "Same to you."
Nangong:?
Why is he so happy about it?
The Four Sects Grand Competition was actually won by a mere disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect. Could the other three sects have been any more humiliated?
"Commander, what is the reward for the winner of the grand competition?"
This was what she cared about most. With the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion's resources, the reward couldn't be bad, right?
An elder standing nearby said, " Miss Qiao, the rewards have already been decided. The winner of the Four Sects Grand Competition will receive 500,000 Spirit Stone, five scrolls of Profound Grade Cultivation Method, and one Heaven Grade Law Artifact."
Qiaoqiao's eyes lit up: Heaven Grade Law Artifact!
Putting aside the Flowing Cloud Sect Flowing Cloud Divine Lamp Sect treasures, she has never seen a real Heaven Grade Law Artifact before. It's time for her to broaden her horizons.
Commandant Nangong smiled meaningfully, "Rather than calling it a Heaven Grade Law Artifact, it's more accurate to say it's a Divine Artifact."
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience erupted in cheers.
Amazing!
To be called a divine artifact, it must be a treasure of the sect's highest level. The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion is truly willing to spare no expense!
The elder of the Flowing Cloud Sect also wore an expression of disbelief. The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion was actually willing to give away a divine artifact?
Nangong raised his hand and drew an intricate magic array in the air. As golden light swept across, an object floated in the air. "This object is called the Divine Maiden's Sword Scabbard. Legend has it that it is the sheath of Divine Sword used by a goddess tens of millions of years ago. The defensive magic array engraved on the sheath has remained unbroken to this day..."
"Etc."
"So-called Heaven Grade Law Artifact is just a sword sheath?" Qiaoqiao asked. "Where's the sword?"
Nangong said, "Young friend Qiao, this is a sword sheath used by a goddess, a rare treasure rarely seen by mortals. Could it be that your standards are so high that you wouldn't even look down on such a treasure?"
Qiaoqiao politely asked, "Really? May I ask if the Commander usually takes his sword sheath out to spar with others?"
Nangong choked for a moment and said, "This item is unique in the world."
"Is being unique necessarily a good thing? For example, the commander's name is quite unique."
Nangong:...
Nangong:
What does she mean?
No one could possibly know his name!
The audience below the stage was completely bewildered, wondering why Qiaoqiao would say such a thing. Was there some hidden meaning in the name of Commandant Nangong?
However, they also realized that while this Heaven Grade Law Artifact had a grandiose reputation, it was ultimately impractical. In future life-or-death battles, others would use swords, while they would use scabbards—wasn't that giving the opponent a sword right from the start?
What's the use of carving ten thousand defensive magic circles on a sword sheath? Just bypass the magic circles and attack!
"That old scoundrel—" Xiao Tingyu was getting a little angry and was about to roll up her sleeves to argue when Qiaoqiao shook her head at her. The other party had deliberately chosen such a "magical artifact," and arguing with him would only be a waste of time.
Nangong thought this was a trap for her, little did she know, she was just waiting to get to know what was going on with her!
She smiled at Commandant Nangong and accepted the golden scabbard.
Nangong smiled too.
He thought to himself, "As expected, he's still an inexperienced disciple who's never seen the world. He got lucky and came in first place, and he's been given a sword sheath as a reward."
Qiaoqiao: [ Nangong Gua, quack quack, come over tomorrow night for some juicy gossip!]
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Xiao Tingyu couldn't help but laugh so hard she fell to the ground.
She'll be driven crazy by her junior sister's antics one day.
However, she was also incredibly looking forward to hearing about Commandant Nangong's gossip!
Chapter 47 State of Mind
The sect competition has ended, but the excitement is far from over.
The Glazed Sea staged a major event during the Grand Competition, causing a stir throughout the entire cultivation Cultivation World. The legend of the Demon God and goddess from tens of thousands of years ago was repeatedly brought up, and the question of whether the Western Divine Pillar would collapse sparked a discussion across the entire Cultivation World. Cultivators from various sects held their own opinions, and they almost spit out all their saliva on the Jade Slip Forum.
When the three sects sent people to the Glazed Sea, they found that the entire Glazed Sea had been encased in a huge sea barrier, completely sealing off the sects. Their own people could not get out, and outsiders could not get in.
Glazed Sea was determined to worship the Demon God. Although the three sects all agreed that the so-called " Demon God " was an illusion created by the Ear-Eating Beast, and that the entire Glazed Sea sect, including its leader Liu Xian, was controlled by this illusion.
Over time, this ferocious beast has grown so rapidly in the Glazed Sea that it has become a major scourge to the Cultivation World.
The three sects unanimously agreed to join forces to eliminate this beast, but the problem is that breaking through the great formation reinforced by countless generations of ancestors of the Glazed Sea is extremely difficult. The three sects dispatched a hundred formation masters, and it is estimated that it will take several months.
During this period, no one can enter the Glazed Sea.
The Jade Slip Forum was in an uproar. Even amidst this Hundun scene, Qiaoqiao, the champion of this year's Four Sects Grand Competition, still garnered a great deal of attention, and discussions surrounding her were quite heated on the forum.
There are tons of confessions of love.
" Junior Sister Qiao, are you still looking for dao companion?"
" Junior Sister Qiao, you are my god!"
" The High Antiquity techniques are so cool! If I could learn even one move, I'd be laughing in my sleep! Haha!"
"In the final competition, she advanced directly from the Foundation Establishment to the Golden Core —it's unheard of, and it shocked my entire family!"
"Indeed, I've seen people cheat, but I've never seen anyone spin 360 degrees and fly into the sky like that! It's simply outrageous!"
"So, nobody wants to join the Flowing Cloud Sect? I want to go to Ethereal Peak and become Junior Sister Qiao's junior brother, hehe."
