reax;
Ancestor Xuan, Ouyang Hong and Ouyang Qing's grandfather.
The strongest person on Heavenspan Island, an elite who had long stepped out of Creation Realm.
Before him, the strongest people on Heavenspan Island were the six super big shots, Ice Madman, Idle Cloud Star Monarch, and the others.
However, his appearance directly intimidated Emperor Xia and the others.
Everyone respected him.
In reality, Ancestor Xuan was not a native elite of Heavenspan Island.
Many years ago, Ancestor Xuan brought his young grandchildren to Heavenspan Island because of some matter.
Thus, he lived in seclusion on Heavenspan Island.
All along, Emperor Xia and the others did not know at all that there was actually a transcendent Creation Realm elite on Heavenspan Island.
If they had known, they would definitely have paid a visit.
If not for Palace Master Daoless wanting to kill Ouyang Hong this time, Ancestor Xuan probably would not have appeared.
Thinking of this, Emperor Xia and the others were also incredibly solemn.
On Heavenspan Island, were there other Creation Realm elites?
This was what they wanted to know, but did not dare to ask Ancestor Xuan.
After the previous storm, the wasteland calmed down again.
Ancestor Xuan presided over the award ceremony, and everyone was looking forward to it.
"The top ten's rewards."
Ancestor Xuan waved his hand, and immediately, each person was given a secret technique that was very suitable for them.
Even Ouyang Hong had a share.
Soon, the top ten's rewards were given out. Next were the top three's rewards.
The third place was Xia Ao. He was already dead, so the martial artist after him rose by one place, which happened to be Dan Bi Xuan.
Dan Bi Xuan chose a Level Four Divine Weapon that suited her.
With this Level Four Divine Weapon, Dan Bi Xuan's strength rose again. Faintly, Dan Bi Xuan felt that she had touched the threshold of the Heavenly Body Tier.
Her pretty face was full of joy.
Next was Ouyang Hong. He also chose a Level Four Divine Weapon.
"What Divine Weapon do you want?" Ancestor Xuan asked.
"Up to you," Fang Chen said.
Ancestor Xuan nodded, and then waved his hand. Instantly, the Divine Weapon was sent into his arms.
Fang Chen received the Divine Weapon, and then stored it in his spatial ring.
After the top three's rewards were given out, next was the highly anticipated first's reward.
The baptism spot in the Heavenspan Divine Pool.
"Being able to get first place is enough to prove your talent and strength."
Ancestor Xuan was full of praise for Fang Chen. "The first place reward, the spot to enter the Heavenspan Divine Pool, should be yours."
After saying that, Ancestor Xuan looked at Emperor Xia and said, "When are we going to the Heavenly Divine Pool?"
Emperor Xia was stunned when he heard this, and then he said carefully, "How about three days from now?"
"Alright."
Ancestor Xuan said.
After the rewards were distributed, everyone looked at Sanguinati with envious eyes.
This lucky guy actually got first place.
That was a place for the baptism of the Heavenly Divine Pool.
Ancestor Xuan prepared to leave with Ouyang Hong and Ouyang Qing.
However, he turned to look at Ice Madman and Star Lord Idlecloud and chuckled. "If the two of you are free, you can come and play chess with me."
Upon hearing this, Ice Madman and Star Lord Idlecloud were filled with excitement.
Ever since they had reached the peak stage of the Heavenly Body Tier, they had been unable to advance any further.
Stepping into the Manifestation Realm was not something that could be solved by cultivation alone.
The two of them had been bitterly searching for a way to step into the Manifestation Realm, but they had not found any clues in all these years.
And now, Ancestor Xuan was actually asking them to play chess.
The meaning was obvious — Ancestor Xuan wanted to give them pointers.
"Many thanks, Ancestor Xuan." The two of them clasped their fists.
Ancestor Xuan left with his grandson and granddaughter.
The few super big shots also left with their higher-ups and disciples.
The Hunting War this time was too unexpected.
Who would have thought that the final winner would be the Black Heaven Sect, and first place would be taken by a guy at the seventh level of the Heaven Dipper Tier?
"Then, see you in three days."
The Black Heaven Sect Master bid farewell to Emperor Xia and then turned to leave.
In the end, only the people of the Xia Clan were left on the wasteland.
"Emperor Xia!"
An elder said in a low voice.
"Don't act rashly. A Manifestation Realm elite is not something we can imagine," Emperor Xia said softly.
"Then what about the baptism of the Heavenly Divine Pool?" the elder asked with some reluctance.
"With a Manifestation Realm elite here, we have no other choice," Emperor Xia said.
The hunting war ended, and the results spread like a kite across the entire Heavenly Divine Island.
Sanguinati's name resounded across the world.
Killing Xia Sheng and severely injuring Xia Ao.
No one in the younger generation could match up to such battle results.
Every martial artist treated Sanguinati as their idol and goal. They wanted to surpass Sanguinati one day in the future.
When the news reached the Black Heaven Sect, the Palace Masters and Vice Palace Masters of the eight palaces went crazy.
They never dreamed that the first place would be taken by the Black Heaven Sect.
At the same time, they were even more convinced that their Sect Master had a unique vision.
Sanguinati's potential was too heaven-defying.
The hunting war caused a huge uproar.
They couldn't calm down for a while.
Within the Imperial Heaven City, there were martial artists discussing about the Hunting War in every corner.
Almost every corner could hear Sanguinati's name.
In the afternoon, Fang Chen had just returned to the Black Heaven Sect's residence in the Imperial Sky City when he was called away by Ouyang Hong.
In a certain elegant courtyard.
Ancestor Xuan sat on a stone bench with a chess board on the stone table.
Ancestor Xuan held a white chess piece and placed it on the board. Then, he held a black chess piece and played chess with himself.
Ouyang Qing, who was at the side, smiled when she saw her grandfather's focused look.
At that moment, Ouyang Hong and Fang Chen arrived.
"Grandfather, Sanguinati is here," Ouyang Qing said.
Ancestor Xuan looked up and smiled at Fang Chen.
Then, he put down the flag in his hand and said, "Have a seat."
Ouyang Qing, Ouyang Hong, and Sanguinati sat on three stone benches.
Fang Chen was still a little nervous when facing a Manifestation Realm elite.
"Senior, may I know why you called me here?" Fang Chen asked.
"You don't have to be so formal in front of me.
Moreover, you and Hong 'er call each other brother. "Ancestor Xuan was very kind.
Fang Chen gradually relaxed.
Ancestor Xuan had called Fang Chen here only to ask about Fang Chen's past cultivation and background.
Ancestor Xuan was also a little surprised to learn that Fang Chen came from Scar Island.
Under normal circumstances, Heaven Dipper Tier cultivators wouldn't travel back and forth between small islands, unless they were in a group of explorers.
"Then why did you come to Clear Sky Island?" Ancestor Xuan asked.
"I was plotted against by an enemy," Fang Chen said in a low voice.
"Brother Blood, why don't we kill our way back together?" Ouyang Hong asked.
Ancestor Xuan glanced at Ouyang Hong, and the latter hurriedly lowered his head.
"With your potential, it's only a matter of time before you reach the Heavenly Body Tier.
However, before that, I have to remind you of something, "Ancestor Xuan said slowly.
"Please enlighten me, Senior," Fang Chen hurriedly said.
"Everyone knows that to reach the Heavenly Body Tier from Heaven Dipper Tier, you need to take three steps," Ancestor Xuan continued. "Do you know why?
"The ninth level of Heaven Dipper Tier has nine flashes of Astral Essence in your sea of qi. To reach the Heavenly Body Tier, you need to fuse the nine flashes of Astral Essence together and form a Star Tower. Only then can you reach the Heavenly Body Tier."
After a pause, Fang Chen continued, "These three steps should be to make it easier to fuse the Astral Essence."
Ancestor Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad, you're right. The reason there are three steps after the ninth level of Heaven Dipper Tier is because it's easier to fuse the Astral Essence in batches," Ancestor Xuan said. "First, nine fuses into six, then six fuses into three, and finally three fuses into one.
At this time, the three steps have been completed, and there's only the last step left — tempering.
"Under normal circumstances, cultivators who reach the third step can reach the Heavenly Body Tier. The earliest is one or two years, and the latest is ten years."
Fang Chen listened quietly.
Creation Tier cultivators' comprehension of martial arts wasn't something that ordinary people could compare to.
Ancestor Xuan was giving guidance to Fang Chen, and the latter was secretly delighted.
"Although it's easy to advance steadily like this, have you ever thought about the drawbacks of reaching the Heavenly Body Tier like this?"
Not only Fang Chen, but even Ouyang Hong and his sister were astonished.
"Grandfather, these three steps were gradually perfected by countless predecessors over countless years. How could there be drawbacks?" Ouyang Qing asked.
Ouyang Hong also nodded.
