"Oh, there's even a reward."
Xiao Chen ambled over to the tray and pocketed the Nascent Soul Jade.
The surrounding crowd watched this unfold with envious eyes. Although they couldn't recognize the object, they could guess it was something extraordinary.
But with the cultivators from the Yin Corpse Sect serving as a cautionary tale, no one dared to voice any objections.
Ten breaths after the Nascent Soul Jade disappeared, the tray retracted beneath the platform on its own.
Immediately after, the entire Observatory Platform began to tremble slightly.
Amidst the trembling, many of the original Restrictions vanished, and seven brand-new pillars rose from the center.
Each pillar was about ten feet tall, and carved upon it were ninety-nine Ancient Spirit Runes.
If one could view them from above, they would see that the pillars were arranged in a ladle shape, just like the Big Dipper.
The Ancient Spirit Runes on the first five pillars were already lit, emitting a soft white light.
