The sect leader of the White Snow Sect was brimming with excitement as she thought that since the Extreme Ice Sage Body went extinct a million years ago, didn't that mean her disciple is the only person in the entire Azure Sky Continent who will possess the Extreme Ice Sage Body after eating the seventh rank medicinal herb, Extreme Ice Sage Leaf.
And it was not only her but all the sect leaders, Formation Master Wu, the King and even the Grandmaster Wang, all of them were also thinking the same thing. Even these old men's face immediately filled with envy and jealousy as they looked at Ling Ling.
Lin Ling also became very excited as she heard the matter about the Extreme Ice Sage Leaf and the Extreme Ice Sage Body. She never thought that there would be one day when she would possess a sacred body like the Extreme Ice Sage Body which already went extinct a million years ago from the Azure Sky Continent.
"Not only this. The most important thing is that the possessor of the Extreme Ice Sage Body has almost 90% chance to surpass everyone from the Azure Sky Continent and she can become the legendary existence known as the Immortal." Grandmaster Wang again said something which almost gave heart attack to everyone.
An Immortal!
What kind of existence is an Immortal?
"This... Grandmaster Wang, Can you please tell us what an Immortal is?" This question was asked by the King himself. And after hearing this question, all of the people present nodded their head as they also wanted to find out what an immortal is.
Grandmaster Wang opened his mouth and then frowned and closed his mouth. He did not answered the question and only said, "Your highness, please forgive me but with our strength, it is better to not know about this matter. It will only cause us more harm then good."
King frowned and then let out a sigh as he was also well aware that one should only eat as much as one can digest. Sometime, knowing more than the limit can prove very dangerous. So, he clamed himself and only nodded his head toward Grandmaster Wang.
All other experts shook their heads in disappointment.
Azure Dragon Country is a very small country. Let alone in the Azure Dragon Country which is only a third grade kingdom, there is a highest possibility that even in the Grand Xia Empire which rules over tens of such countries, only a very few people, or only one or two people is aware about the matter of an immortal.
Grandmaster Wang said, "There is no need to continue. Lin Ling, come to me when everything is over here. I will give you something which can help you controlling your sacred body more precisely after you awaken the Extreme Ice Sage Body."
Lin Ling also nodded her head. She was feeling very at this moment. To her, this all was like a miracle. She never thought that she would obtain such a fortune after participating in the competition.
Also at this moment, the host again said, "Now that third ranked Lin Ling has already chosen where she want to cultivate further, let us continue. Second ranked Xu Qing, please come forward and choose the sect you want to enter."
Xu Qing nodded his head and walked ten steps forward. Then he raised his head and directly first looked at Lin Hao then and after thinking for a while, he said, "I choose the Heaven Sword Sect."
Shuaa!
The moment he chose the Heaven Sword Sect, the sect leader of the heaven sword sect immediately appeared in front of him and said, "Hahaha, Xu Qing, it is good that you chose my sect. I guarantee that you will never regret your decision. Come with me and stand behind me. I will make an exception for you. From now onwards, you will be the inner court disciple of my Heaven Sword Sect. After going back to the sect, you will receive your identity token as an inner disciple as well as other rewards."
After saying this he walked back to where he was previously standing. Xu Qing also followed behind him and lastly stood behind the him obediently.
The host said, "Congratulations Xu Qing for successfully becoming the inner court disciple of the Heaven Sword Sect. You will receive your corresponding reward from your sect after going back to the sect."
Whoaa!
All the other participant's eyes again filled up with envy and jealousy as they looked at Xu Qing. It was already known that only the champion can become the inner court disciple of the chosen sect. But now, the sect leader of the Heaven Sword Sect made an exception for Xu Qing and accepted him as an inner court disciple of his sect. This is already comparable to the champion of the competition.
The host again said, "Now it is time for the champion, Lin Hao, to choose the sect he want to enter. Lin Hao, please come forward and choose your sect."
Lin Hao who was standing alone this time, also took ten steps forward and only said three words without any hesitation, "Heaven Sword Sect."
Again it was Heaven Sword Sect.
"Hahahaha" The sect leader of the Heaven Sword Sect started to laugh like a madman. And why would he not laugh after all he won a really big this time around form this competition. The champion of the competition as well as the second ranked Xu Qing, they both chose his Heaven Sword Sect.
Other sect leaders also looked at him with hidden jealousy but on the surface they kept smiling and started to congratulate him.
"Congratulations, sect master Jian. You have really won big this time." The sect leader if the Profound Sky Sect was the first one to congratulate the sect leader of the Heaven Sword Sect.
All other sect leaders also followed suit him and congratulated the sect leader of the Heaven Sword Sect.
"Congratulations sect master Jian, You have obtained two outstanding disciple this time."
"Congratulations sect master Jian...."
"Congratulations sect master Jian...."
....
"Hahaha, thank... haha... you, thank you everyone." The sect leader of the Heaven Sword Sect kept laughing and only stopped with great difficulty. He really felt very happy at this time. After all he was the biggest winner.
The sect leader of the Heaven Sword Sect then turned and looked at Lin Hao and said, "Lin Hao, I can not make any exception for you as your reward is already high. I would have accepted you as my disciple but you see... my way of sword is already inferior to yours. Even after cultivating for more than half a century, I am unable to comprehend even the First Stage of the Sword Way, Sword Light. So, I am unable to teach you anything. Yes, if you have anything you want from me, you can say it. I will do my best to fulfil your wish."
Lin Hao thought for the five breaths of time and said, "Sect leader, I want to cultivate the Heaven Sword Slash of your Heaven Sword Sect."
Whoaa!
Sect leader of the Heaven Sword Sect was shocked hearing this. It was the rule of the Heaven Sword Sect that only the core disciple of the sect is allowed to practice the Earth Grade martial arts skill, Heaven Sword Sect. This rule had been going on from the moment, Heaven Sword Sect was established. Now if he allowed Lin Hao to practice the Heaven Sword Slash, it will be seen as breaking the rule.
He thought for a while and then said, "Lin Hao, as everyone knows that this martial arts skill is something that only the core disciples of the sect is allowed to practice. Now that you want to also practice this martial arts skill while you are still only an inner court disciple, it will very difficult. Umm... Let's do like this, if you can win a fight against any of the core disciple of my sect, not only will I allow you to practice the Heaven Sword Sect, I will also let become the core disciple of my sect."
After saying this, he stared at Lin Hao with curious gaze as if he wanted to see what will be the reaction of Lin Hao after hearing him.
Lin Hao already knew this rule of the Heaven Sword Sect and now that the sect leader has already compromises, he also nodded his head and said expressionlessly, "Let's do it as the sect leader is saying. So, when will I fight with the core disciple of the sect?"
"I will arrange the battle between you and a core disciple after we go back to the sect. Let's decide the time day after tomorrow. You can fight with the core disciple day after tomorrow and if you won the battle, I will do as I said before. Not only I will let you practice the Heaven Sword Sect, you will also become the core disciple." Sect leader of the heaven Sword Sect said with a serious face.
