At a vantage point near the water, one gets to the moon first!
While others were still frantically discussing the Shennong's pills in the livestream, Fuxi and Xuanyuan took advantage of their proximity, leaving Shennong no room to refuse their request and secured a reservation for a considerable amount of pills. This was due to the strong relationship between the Three Sovereigns. Even if another strong cultivator was close to Shennong, without their bond, Shennong wouldn't agree.
[Lu Ya: The Heavenly Sovereign and Earth Sovereign of the Three Sovereigns have already received their rewards and seem satisfied. Now it's up to Xuanyuan; I wonder if he'll get the reward he wants!]
[Xuanyuan: My demands aren't high; give me anything, and I'll be content!]
[Giant Spirit God: Don't say that. You might just end up with something random!]
With the eleventh reward claimed, the twelfth reward gradually appeared.
[Body List, Rank 12: Saint-Slaying Swordsmanship]
[Sun Wukong: What a domineering name—Saint-Slaying Swordsmanship. Does the 'Saint' in its name refer to actual Saints? Could this technique be used to slay Saints?]
[Ancestor Minghe: Quite possible. The rewards from the Body List have all been extraordinary so far. A sword technique this powerful for the twelfth rank seems fitting, but can a single sword technique really slay a Saint?]
[Nüwa: What delusional nonsense! The gap between a Saint's realm and those below it is insurmountable. It's impossible to slay a Saint, even with a sword technique.]
[Laozi: The Saint realm is far more powerful than you all imagine. No matter how extreme swordsmanship becomes, it has its limits. Not to mention slaying a Saint, it's impossible to even injure one with such a technique!]
[Tongtian: When it comes to swordsmanship, I am the first under the heavens. Anyone claiming to surpass me is a joke! Relying on a sword technique to slay a Saint? Not even close!]
[Western Buddha, Jieyin: That may not be true. The Body List's rewards might surprise us. While your swordsmanship is indeed unparalleled, Xuanyuan's isn't far behind. The only real difference is your realms.]
[Tongtian: Jieyin, stop your arrogant prattle! Xuanyuan has yet to reach the Saint realm—what could he use to contend with me? If you truly think I am not the best, come and challenge me!]
[Zhunti: Haha! Tongtian, you're quite confident. Xuanyuan, why don't you join my Buddhist sect? With the combined power of the Western Paradise, we'll help you become a Saint and face off against the Tongtian! Let's see whose swordsmanship reigns supreme!]
[White Tiger: Seriously? Can one really attain the Saint realm ?]
[Xuanyuan: The two Saints of Buddhism are overestimating me. I am, after all, the Human Sovereign and would never join Buddhism. No need to try recruiting me!]
[Sun Wukong: Xuanyuan, since you've acquired the Saint-Slaying Swordsmanship, tell us—what makes it so powerful?]
[Xuanyuan: Though it's named Saint-Slaying Swordsmanship, its true potential only allows it to break a Saint's body at best—not truly slay one. Even then, that's only if it's cultivated to a high level. It's formidable, but not as exaggerated as you all imagine.]
[Tongtian: Now that sounds more realistic, just as I expected!]
[Yuanshi Tianzun: Xuanyuan has not yet reached the Saint realm, so being able to injure a Saint with swordsmanship is already the limit of what he can do. Even so, only a handful of people in the entire world could achieve such a feat!]
[Xuanyuan: You're too kind. I'm no match for the Saints. Even with the Saint-Slaying Swordsmanship, it won't change much. I can still only defeat those I'm capable of defeating, and those I can't defeat will remain beyond me!] Read full story at novel·fiɾe·net
[Laozi: That's not entirely true. Xuanyuan, as the Human Sovereign, has the other two Sovereigns by his side. Together, their combined strength, bolstered by a new sword technique, could make even Saints hesitate before challenging them!]
With this swordsmanship, and with the help of the other two Sovereigns, Xuanyuan could barely hold his own against the weaker Saints, though launching a counterattack would be out of the question. The only Saints who might have designs on them would be the two from the West; the others wouldn't bother. With the Saint-Slaying Swordsmanship in hand, the Three Sovereigns could at least protect themselves.
The combined strength of the Three Sovereigns was already near the Saint realm, and now they each had received a tremendous boost. Fuxi's deduction ability had become stronger, Shennong could now refine more powerful pills, and Xuanyuan, armed with the Saint-Slaying Swordsmanship, was now an unstoppable force. Beneath the Saint realm, none could rival the Three Sovereigns.
Next, the thirteenth reward was similar to the previous ones—a Chaos Divine Ability. Though still astonishing, it didn't surprise anyone much, as they had grown accustomed to seeing such incredible treasures. The experts watching the livestream had become jaded after witnessing so many valuable rewards. If it wasn't something entirely novel, they wouldn't be overly impressed.
Just as everyone thought the upcoming rewards would be more of the same, they realized they were gravely mistaken.
[Body List, Rank 14: Question Card]
When this reward appeared, all the experts watching were dumbfounded. From the beginning, every reward had been some treasure, secret technique, or divine ability that could be understood at a glance. However, none could comprehend what this "Question Card" was.
[Nüwa: What on earth is this Question Card? This is the first time we've seen something as a reward!]
[Ancestor Minghe: Is Lu Ya just unlucky? Is his reward simply asking a question?]
[Western Buddha, Jieyin: If that's the case, then this reward pales in comparison to the others. It's hard to say whether this is a good or bad thing.]
[Sun Wukong: If you don't have a question, Lu Ya, I have plenty! Let me ask on your behalf!]
As everyone speculated about what the Question Card could be, an explanation appeared.
[Question Card: A special reward. It generates a random question in the livestream, and the cardholder must answer it. If the answer is correct, a random reward will be given. However, if the answer is wrong, no reward will be received.]
[Note: The reward for a correct answer will exceed the usual ranking rewards. The Question Card holder is encouraged to do their best!]
Lu Ya was immediately flustered. He had been eagerly awaiting his reward, only to find out that he'd have to answer a question to earn it. Though a correct answer promised a better reward, there was still the risk of failure, which meant he might end up with nothing.
