Chapter 1156 Divide (2/2)

Jiang Jinlin's face was incredibly pale and the Genesis Qi around him was much weaker than before. His body was covered in deep scars, and even if he possessed the powerful body of the Mystic Dragon Clan, he couldn’t heal those severe injuries right away.

Jiang Jinlin looked a little uncomfortable when he faced Zhou Yuan because he had never attached any importance to Zhou Yuan before the battle. Otherwise they wouldn’t send Jin Ling'er to assist him. It was clear that they didn’t believe in Zhou Yuan's ability.

But the final outcome was unexpected to anyone.

If Zhou Yuan hadn’t reversed the tide, the three great heavens would have been defeated instead.

Even Jiang Jinlin, who was very arrogant, didn't dare look down on Zhou Yuan after Zhou Yuan killed Ji Mo and inflicted severe injuries to Mi Shi.

Jiang Jinlin’s strength was similar level to Mi Shi’s. If Mi Shan hadn’t rescued Mi Shi with his Sacred Pupil, Zhou Yuan might have even killed him.

Therefore, Jiang Jinlin didn’t dare to underestimate Zhou Yuan anymore.

Ai Qing’s expression turned a little complicated as she gazed at Zhou Yuan. She originally thought the strongest person in the Hunyuan Heaven team was Guan Qinglong. But now, it seemed Zhou Yuan from the Tianyuan Region had revealed hidden talents. But what was most terrifying was that Zhou Yuan was only at the intermediate Heavenly Sun stage. Once he reached the advanced Heavenly Sun stage, wouldn't he surpass even Guan Qinglong? Perhaps, he would become the strongest Heavenly Sun expert in the five heavens.

Guan Qinglong looked at Zhou Yuan and said solemnly, “Grand elder Zhou Yuan, no one can question your contribution in the battle against the two heavens of the Sacred Race. I want to express gratitude to you on behalf of everyone.”

The others also nodded, showing their gratitude. Zhou Yuan's distinguished battle accomplishment was superior to everyone else’s.

Even Jiang Jinlin remained silent and didn’t raise any objections.

However, Zhou Yuan seemed unconcerned about their gratitude. He just waved his hand and stared at the dense fog that shrouded a distant mountain range. In the dense fog, an ancient stone tablet seemed to have existed since ancient times, exuding a special charm.

”Everyone, now that the enemy has retreated, is it time to discuss how the mystic ruins will be divided?” said Zhou Yuan with a smile.

He wasn’t referring to the distribution among core members, but the arrangement for the various forces’ ordinary members.

This was because one required a foundation of around 2 billion Genesis Qi stars to get close to the ancient stone tablet, which meant only the top experts from each force could obtain the core opportunity.

But that meant many people would be unable to get near the stone tablet and hence enjoy the rare opportunity.

They had also made contributions in the battle and so they should be rewarded accordingly. Otherwise, who would continue to risk their lives in battle? And without them, it would be difficult to succeed by just relying on the top experts.

Fortunately, the various forces leaders were prepared.

Although the stone tablet was inaccessible to people with a foundation under 2 billion Genesis Qi stars, once it was activated, it would erupt with mighty ancestral qi and countless ancestral qi treasures that would spread to the periphery. And those were the opportunities that many people hoped to obtain.

The closer one was to the stone tablet, the more ancestral qi and ancestral qi treasures one could obtain.

According to what they previously agreed on, the positions in front of the stone tablet would be divided into three groups.

The first group was naturally closest to the stone tablet, and thus would receive the first wave of ancestral qi.

After the first wave of ancestral qi was absorbed by the first group, it would flow to the second group, and the third group…

From their previous agreement, there were only two forces that secured the first position, which were the Wushen Region in Hunyuan Heaven and the Mystic Dragon Clan in Wanshou Heaven. Moreover, they had Guan Qinglong and Jiang Jinlin, who led the army, in their team.

Guan Qinglong turned to Zhou Yuan and said with a smile, “Grand elder Zhou Yuan has contributed the most in the battle. The Tianyuan Region is of course included in the first group.”

Jiang Jinlin didn't say anything. He no doubt would have opposed it if he heard this before the battle. After all, his share of ancestral qi would lessen with more people in the first group and no one would be happy about their benefits going to other people. But Zhou Yuan's battle accomplishments were so remarkable that there was nothing he could say. If Zhou Yuan wasn’t qualified to be in the first group, the Mystic Dragon Clan and the Wushen Region also wouldn’t be qualified.

“Thank you.” Zhou Yuan pondered for a moment and then said, ”I don't know if I can also get a space in the second group.”

He of course requested the position for the Cangxuan Sect. After all, all Cangxuan Heaven forces would be allocated to the third group if based solely on battle accomplishments. But Zhou Yuan was a member of the Cangxuan Sect and so he must seek benefits for his senior and junior brothers. After all, in such an occasion, even Chu Qing’s words carried little weight.

Guan Qinglong glanced at Chu Qing and the others behind him, hesitated, and finally nodded.

“Grand elder Zhou Yuan comes from the Cangxuan Sect, so of course they are qualified to share some of your credit.”

Jiang Jinlin frowned and was about to argue, but Ai Qing pulled him back.

“It’s not good to provoke Zhou Yuan. Don’t get on his bad side because of a little benefit. Think about it, what if he breaks through to the advanced Heavenly Sun stage in the mystic ruins?” Ai Qing whispered into Jiang Jinlin's ears.

Jiang Jinlin's countenance changed slightly. Zhou Yuan was only at the intermediate Heavenly Sun stage yet he could already inflict severe injuries to Mi Shi. How strong would he be once he reached the advanced Heavenly Sun stage? At that time, even he and Guan Qinglong likely would be no match for him.

Thinking of that scene, even Jiang Jinlin, who was very arrogant, gulped secretly.

So, he also nodded slightly and said, ”I have no objection.”

Once the two commanders-in-chief made a final decision, the positions were decided.
