''Tsk! Although this Holy sect is still good for master right now, it will never truly reach the peak. Since it forbids its disciples from fighting against each other to the death, it will only restrict their growth. Only when one has a sense of danger during their battle and truly fights his opponent with everything he has, will that person have a chance to reach the peak. This Holy sect's chances of producing a true genius are simply too low.''
Little Black spoke with a disdainful tone as he stared at the white-robed Sun Wen from the foggy space in the 'Stone of Time'.
It was clear that in Little Black's eyes, the Holy sect's fights were nothing more than child's play.
If it wasn't because it gave Shun Long the ability to fight against its strongest geniuses, Little Black would have truly found no other use for the Holy sect.
Shun Long had a calm look on his face as he also understood that the Holy sect didn't really allow its disciples to kill each other which was why Little Black was saying this.
Even when there was a deathmatch in the arena, the Elders would usually try to persuade those disciples against it, and only when there were unsolvable grudges between the 2 parties would the Elders of the Holy sect really permit those fights.
However, in the Immortal Dimension, according to Little Black's words, fights and killing each other were everyday occurrences, but in the Holy sect, because the Elders wanted the disciples to be out of danger they wouldn't allow them to kill each other.
But in Little Black's eyes, this was nothing more than the way the weak lived.
The Holy sect wouldn't possibly produce an expert behind closed doors.
As he looked at the disciples in the audience seats, the white-robed Sun Wen nodded his head before he then continued
''Of course, you should still do your best and try to reach the top 1000. Those of you who manage to enter the top 1000 rankings and have your name appear in the Martial Roll of Honor will also be rewarded from the sect as well. Additionally, this year's Martial Roll of Honor is somewhat special compared to the previous years.''
Elder Sun Wen had a mysterious smile on his face as he said this, while the eyes of most of the disciples in the audience seats lit up in excitement.
Many others were like Shun Long as well and they had also guessed that the appearance of Elder Sun Wen, Elder Xuan, and Elder Cao Ling, most likely had a special meaning today.
One young woman from the crowd couldn't help but look at Elder Sun in excitement as she then asked in a voice that was filled with curiosity
''Elder Sun, may I ask what are the rewards for those who reach the top 1000?''
Although the young woman's voice wasn't loud, in the silent arena, it was heard loud and clear, making everyone around her hear it and turn their attention to her, including the white-robed Sun Wen.
Everyone looked at this young woman in the crowd whose cultivation was still at the middle of rank 8 in the Nascent Soul, before they all turned their eyes towards the white-robed Elder Sun in the sky.
Elder Sun nodded his head before he answered with a smile on his face
''The rewards for the top 1000 will indeed be slightly different compared to the previous years. Especially the rewards for the top 500!''
With that same smile on his face, Elder Sun then continued
''Those who manage to enter the top 1000 in the Martial Roll of Honor will not only obtain a complete Saint low-grade cultivation technique or martial skill from the sect, but they will also be allowed to enter the second floor inside the Golden Treasures Hall! I am sure that most of you understand the difference in the quality of the items inside the first and the second floor in the Golden Treasures Hall so I don't need to explain this! At the same time, those who enter the top 1000 rankings will not have to pay a fee every time they enter the Dao Tower in the Holy city either!''
Elder Sun's words were like a bolt of lightning that struck the minds of every single outer disciple.
Indeed, the rewards this time were so much better than those from the previous years that many disciples couldn't even believe this.
Those who entered the top 1000 in the previous years during the Martial Roll of Honor tournament would only be allowed to obtain a complete Saint low-grade cultivation technique or martial skill.
However, normally, only those disciples who had entered the top 100 in the Martial Roll of Honor, or inner court as well as the core disciples would be allowed to enter the second floor inside the Golden Treasures Hall.
Even the personal disciples of the inner court Elders weren't allowed to enter the second floor until they reached the top 100 rankings or they became inner court disciples.
Even Shun Long was stunned by this, causing his eyes to light up.
He clearly remembered that when Wan Zu had given him that single stalk of 'five-elements grass', he had most likely taken it from the second floor of the Golden Treasures Hall.
Shun Long believed that even if there were no rank 7 medicinal herbs on the second floor of the Golden Treasures Hall, even the rarest of rank 6 medicinal herbs would most likely be present there.
Of course, Shun Long also understood that their price would also be extremely expensive, but he didn't mind that in the slightest.
After all, he wasn't afraid of spending sect points or spirit stones.
What he was afraid of was not being able to buy the treasures that he wanted to buy.
Elder Sun seemed satisfied when he saw the reaction of those disciples in the crowd, while his lips curved up even further as he continued, his next words shocking not just the normal disciples among the crowd, but even those in the top 500 and those monsters who had reached the top 100 rankings, causing them all to stare at the white-robed Elder with disbelieving eyes.
''However, those who manage to reach the top 500 rankings won't just get those rewards. In addition to that... they will also obtain 1000 high-grade spirit stones!''
