Chapter 370: Joining the Great Thousand Palace, Gaining Rewards
"Third question: Are you willing to join the Great Thousand Palace as a guest elder?"
At the western gate of Luo Shui City, on the Western Heaven Continent, Wan Feng's question hung in the air.
Without hesitation, Xiao Tiance straightened up and answered firmly:
"I am willing. As long as it involves fighting against the extraterrestrial demons to protect the Great Thousand World, I will do my utmost."
Wan Feng nodded in satisfaction. "Very good. But what about officially joining the Great Thousand Palace as a guest elder? I must confirm your willingness."
Not every Heavenly Supreme in the Great Thousand World joined the Great Thousand Palace as a guest elder. The decision was left entirely to the individual's preference.
Xiao Tiance's Inquiry
Xiao Tiance didn't answer immediately but instead asked:
"Steward Wan, I'd like to know if there are any restrictions on being a guest elder of the Great Thousand Palace?"
Wan Feng laughed heartily. **"Is that your concern? Rest assured, the Great Thousand Palace has only one goal: to combat the extraterrestrial demons and safeguard the Great Thousand World.
"As a guest elder, you will receive a Demon Slaying Token. When you kill extraterrestrial demons, the token absorbs their remnants and converts them into Demon Slaying Points, which can be exchanged for treasures, techniques, or divine skills.
"Even quasi legendary divine skills can be redeemed, as long as you have enough Demon Slaying Points."**
Wan Feng paused, giving Xiao Tiance a meaningful look, then continued:
**"Earlier, I sensed the intense spiritual power fluctuations between you and the Western Heaven Battle Emperor. You two must have fought, yes?
"Don't worry. The Great Thousand Palace doesn't interfere in personal grudges, as long as they're not taken too far. We can turn a blind eye to such conflicts."
He concluded with a smile: "So, Xiao Tiance, I will ask again: Are you willing to join the Great Thousand Palace as a guest elder?"
Joining the Great Thousand Palace
Hearing this, Xiao Tiance made his decision. Cupping his hands respectfully, he replied:
"In that case, I am willing to join the Great Thousand Palace as a guest elder."
Wan Feng laughed heartily. **"Good, good! Xiao Tiance, welcome to the Great Thousand Palace. From today onward, you are one of us.
"This is your Demon Slaying Token. Keep it safe. If you slay extraterrestrial demons and gather enough points, you can contact me anytime to exchange them for rewards."**
Wan Feng handed over a token, brimming with satisfaction. To him, recruiting a new Heavenly Supreme was a great accomplishment. Xiao Tiance's strength, evident from his encounter with the Western Heaven Battle Emperor, added even more value.
Taking the token, Xiao Tiance listened as Wan Feng explained: "Drop a drop of your blood onto the token to bind it to yourself. This will allow it to recognize you and record your accomplishments."
Without delay, Xiao Tiance pricked his finger and let a drop of blood fall onto the token.
A Surprising Display
The moment the blood was absorbed, a golden pillar of light shot into the sky, piercing through the clouds.
Wan Feng's eyes widened in surprise. The Demon Slaying Token didn't just track demon kills it also revealed the owner's true strength. Based on the height of the light pillar, Wan Feng could see that Xiao Tiance's actual combat power was comparable to that of an early stage Saint Grade Heavenly Supreme.
"Steward Wan, what is this?" Xiao Tiance asked, puzzled.
Wan Feng burst into laughter. **"This is excellent news! The token not only records the souls of extraterrestrial demons but also reflects its owner's true strength.
"The height of the light pillar indicates that your physical strength alone is enough to rival an early stage Saint Grade Heavenly Supreme.
"This information is invaluable. When the Great Thousand Palace deploys reinforcements against extraterrestrial demons, we use the token to match tasks with individuals, reducing unnecessary losses."**
Wan Feng's joy was evident. It wasn't every day that a newly ascended Heavenly Supreme showed such remarkable combat ability, effectively surpassing their realm. Xiao Tiance was clearly an extraordinary talent with immense potential for growth.
Acknowledgments
"I see," Xiao Tiance said, nodding. Storing the token carefully, he bowed. "Thank you, Steward Wan."
"Haha, no need for thanks," Wan Feng replied, waving dismissively. **"Though you've just entered the Heavenly Supreme realm, with your talent, I wouldn't be surprised if the Great Thousand World gains another Saint Grade Heavenly Supreme within decades.
"As the one who invited you to join, I'm honored. I hope you'll stay true to yourself, continue cultivating diligently, and contribute to the protection of the Great Thousand World."**
"Rest assured, Steward Wan. I will do my utmost," Xiao Tiance said solemnly.
He deeply respected the Great Thousand Palace for its unwavering dedication to defending the Great Thousand World against the extraterrestrial demons.
A Host's Invitation
Seeing that Xiao Tiance and Wan Feng had finished their discussion, Luo Tian Shen stepped forward as host. Bowing respectfully, he said:
"Steward Wan, Lord Tiance, would you honor us by visiting the city? The Luo God Clan would be delighted to host you and extend our hospitality."
Xiao Tiance smiled and added, "What do you think, Steward Wan?"
Wan Feng shook his head. **"I appreciate the offer, but I must decline. The extraterrestrial demons are running rampant, and I can't stay away for too long.
"Besides, I only brought one Demon Slaying Token this time. I didn't realize there were two more Great Earthly Supremes at the peak in your group. Next time, I'll bring tokens for them as well."**
He glanced at Xiao Xuan and Gu Xun'er as he spoke. The two bowed respectfully but did not step forward.
Wan Feng could tell that these two were Xiao Tiance's trusted companions. Though he didn't extend invitations to them this time, he was confident they would join in the future.
Moving Forward
As Wan Feng prepared to leave, he addressed Xiao Tiance one last time:
**"Remember, the Great Thousand Palace will always be your support. If you need anything or encounter any threats, use your token to reach out.
"I look forward to seeing how far you'll go, Xiao Tiance. Until we meet again."**
With that, Wan Feng vanished into the void, leaving behind a sense of anticipation for Xiao Tiance's future contributions to the Great Thousand World.
"Steward Wan, then we shall not disturb you any further. Your tasks are of greater importance."
Xiao Tiance cupped his hands and spoke with a polite smile.
"Hahaha, very well. Farewell for now."
With that, Wan Feng wasted no time. With a wave of his hand, a tear in the void appeared, and his figure instantly disappeared into it.
Reflecting on Strength
"Such incredible speed," Xiao Tiance murmured, astonished by Wan Feng's swift departure.
The abilities of a Saint Grade Heavenly Supreme were truly beyond comprehension.
Turning to his companions, Xiao Tiance announced, "Alright, let's return to Luo Shui City and rest for two days."
Everyone readily agreed. After all, their journey through the Ancient Secret Realm had left them both mentally and physically exhausted.
Sharing Experiences
Back in Luo Shui City, Luo Tian Shen prepared food and arranged rooms for everyone. Over their meal, the group shared their individual experiences in the Ancient Secret Realm, each wearing a satisfied smile at their gains.
Xiao Tiance's Reflections
In his private room, Xiao Tiance mentally reviewed the treasures and advancements he had gained from the Ancient Secret Realm.
He felt deeply content.
Strength:
He had ascended from the pinnacle of Earthly Supreme to the Heavenly Supreme Realm (Early Stage) a qualitative leap in power. While Earthly Supremes were revered as sovereigns of their respective continents, only a Heavenly Supreme could command true respect across the Great Thousand World.
Heavenly Tribulation Body:
He had begun cultivating this primal Supreme Physique, an ancient treasure among physiques. Though still in the initial stages, he knew that mastering the seventh level of this technique would place him among the very pinnacle of the Great Thousand World's powerhouses.
Treasures:
The three treasures of the Heaven Dao Sect the Heaven Dao Mirror, the Heaven Dao Glazed Bottle, and the Heaven Dao Tower were now his. With these, his safety and strength in the Great Thousand World were significantly bolstered.
Nine Abyss (Jiu Yuan):
He had secured the allegiance of a Nine Headed Sky Serpent, a mythical beast rivaling the True Dragons. Once Jiu Yuan matured further, Xiao Tiance would have a companion comparable to a Heavenly Supreme.
Sky Demon Puppets:
He had refined several powerful puppets during his time in the realm. With the right materials, these puppets could serve as a valuable foundation for his forces.
Heaven Dao Sect's Legacy:
Lastly, the extensive inheritance given by Fatty Doll the Heaven Dao Sect's collective resources was now at his disposal.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Tiance whispered to himself, "Finally, I have the foundation to establish myself in the Great Thousand World."
A Visitor Arrives
Just as Xiao Tiance finished his thoughts, he sensed someone outside his door. Recognizing the aura, he opened the door before the visitor could knock.
"Tian Luo," Xiao Tiance greeted warmly.
Tian Luo entered, bowing respectfully. "My lord."
Xiao Tiance smiled. "Call me Lord Tiance. Sit."
Tian Luo obeyed, sitting down and addressing him. "Lord Tiance, I wish to roam the Great Thousand World for some time. May I have your permission?"
Tian Luo's Request
Xiao Tiance paused briefly before nodding. **"Of course. I already promised you back in the Dou Qi Continent.
"I'll soon focus on finding Medusa, Zi Yan, Min'er, and Ling Yun. After that, I plan to establish a force somewhere in the Great Thousand World."**
Xiao Tiance retrieved a jade pendant from his spatial ring and handed it to Tian Luo. **"This jade pendant is an upgraded version of the one you already have. It allows us to locate each other no matter where we are in the Great Thousand World.
"It also has a messaging function. While your current strength at the peak of Ninth Grade Earthly Supreme is formidable, avoid provoking major powers. Still, to be safe, keep this with you. If you ever encounter trouble, contact me immediately."**
Tian Luo accepted the jade pendant with a bow. "Thank you, Lord Tiance. I will ensure my safety. Once I break through to the Heavenly Supreme Realm, I will return to serve you."
Parting Advice
Xiao Tiance nodded. **"Return whenever you're ready. For now, prioritize your safety.
"You're a Sky Demon Puppet and cannot absorb the Great Thousand World's spiritual energy like others. My suggestion is to focus on enhancing your physical strength. Even without spiritual energy, a strong enough body can make you a force to be reckoned with."**
Tian Luo smiled. "Thank you for the advice, my lord. That's my plan as well."
Before Tian Luo left, Xiao Tiance retrieved a scroll from his ring, listing materials that could strengthen Sky Demon Puppets. Fatty Doll, listening in, informed him that the Heaven Dao Tower contained several of the required materials.
Xiao Tiance passed both the scroll and the materials to Tian Luo, along with a final instruction. **"These should help. Some materials are still missing, so try to collect them during your travels. Before you leave, visit me again I'll prepare some Supreme Spirit Liquid for you.
"While you can't use it for cultivation, it's an excellent currency in the Great Thousand World."**
Tian Luo grinned. "Thank you, my lord. I'll shamelessly accept your kindness."
A New Visitor
After Tian Luo left, another figure entered the room. Bowing deeply, he said, "Lord Tiance."
Xiao Tiance smiled. "Mountain Lord Wansui, no need for formalities. I see your trip to the Ancient Secret Realm was fruitful you've stepped ahead of Chang Kong and reached the Lower Earthly Supreme Realm. You must have gained quite a bit."
Wansui scratched his head sheepishly. "My gains are nothing compared to yours, my lord. I came to fulfill my earlier promise. I owe you three favors. Please tell me how I may serve you."
Laughing, Xiao Tiance said, "I nearly forgot about that. Didn't you say you were a disciple of the Heaven Dao Sect?"
