As these individuals placed their immortal artifacts, spiritual entities of various appearances were born.
The spirit of the [Blood Fiend Demonic Sword] was a cold assassin.
The spirit of the [Heaven Swallowing Bottle] was a cunning young Taoist priest.
The two great killing weapons, the [Starry Hammer] and the [Sky Splitting Divine Axe], gave birth to a pair of twin-tailed loli.
The spirit born from [Phoenix Perching on Wutong] was a fiery phoenix.
The spirit born from the [Floating and Sinking Beads] was a young monk.
The spirit born from the [Starfall Sword] was a young boy.
...
Those of their immortal artifacts that had no spirits, with the help of the [Human Emperor Cauldron], all had spirits born.
Those that already had spirits, like the [Extreme Cold Lamp] and the [Primordial Spear], had their spirits fully and deeply fused with their immortal artifacts with the help of the [Human Emperor Cauldron].
Then, Chu Yang took out a pile of golden pages, each representing a type of immortal technique.
He threw them directly to them and said, "These are the rewards I promised you. I don't have too many immortal techniques in stock. I think you all did quite well, and there's no need to rank yourselves according to the leaderboard. So, you can distribute these immortal techniques yourselves. Anyway, each person will receive one immortal technique. Figure out which one suits you."
The immortal techniques Chu Yang gave were different from those in the cultivation world; they could be learned by simply touching them to one's head, and there were no cultivation restrictions.
They took these immortal techniques, discussed them amongst themselves, and quickly distributed them.
Seeing that they were all quite satisfied, Chu Yang also felt quite satisfied.
"Today's mission is complete. You can all disperse. Arrange your time yourselves from now on. If nothing unexpected happens, you will be considered saviors."
"Saviors? What saviors?"
Chu Yang smiled and said, "Although you won yesterday, did you hear what that immortal-level senior said at the end? They were actually long dead; that was merely a reconstruction of historical images. In real history, this battle was one where humanity lost."
"And in this boundless multiverse of cultivation worlds, who knows how many such worlds are facing despair, or have already fallen into despair. For you, you have a unique privilege compared to others, which is the ability to easily traverse to other worlds with my help."
"In addition, you can also enjoy many resources provided by me. With such good resources, you naturally have to bear corresponding responsibilities. Previously, we said that everything we did was for Blue Star, but as we understand our enemies more and more, we have to admit that these Sky-Slaying tribes are cruelly persecuting our human race in other planes."
"When your strength grows, and when you are able to change the tide of battle with your own power, I believe you should all have empathy as members of the human race. Therefore, in the future, you may not have as many opportunities to develop in peaceful cultivation worlds. You will have to participate in real battlefields, acting as a sudden sharp blade to pierce the ambitions of the Sky-Slaying tribes. Do you have any objections?"
Everyone looked at each other, but there was no trace of timidity in their eyes; they all burned with fervent fighting spirit.
From yesterday's trial, they already knew they possessed the power to change the tide of battle, capable of completely tipping the scales of victory.
If the battle was evenly matched, or if the Sky-Slaying tribe had a slight advantage, their participation would instantly cause the Sky-Slaying tribe to collapse.
Truly changing the tide of battle was far more exciting than this trial.
"We understand!"
Chu Yang nodded, then said to Li Qingyun, "Li Qingyun, come with me. The rest of you, disperse!"
Li Qingyun was stunned for a moment. Why was he being held back?
After the others had walked away, Chu Yang patted Li Qingyun's shoulder and said, "I think you should go to the sixth cultivation world to play for a few days now."
"Huh? Why? I want to go fight with them too!"
"I already said, just play for a few days. After you're done playing, you still have to come back and set off with them."
But Li Qingyun was utterly confused. What was the meaning of this maneuver?
Chu Yang sighed and said, "There's something I must tell you. Congratulations, you're going to be a father."
Li Qingyun froze on the spot, as if struck by lightning!
Going to be a father, going to be a father, going to be a father...
He was still a child! How could he be a father?
Li Qingyun had considered this possibility, but he was also terrified of the outcome, so he had been telling himself that it was only once, and it wouldn't be that easy to get pregnant!
But that scoundrel Qing Di had infused a terrifying amount of life force into him, and what he had released also contained an extremely high life force!
"I... what should I do, Immortal Brother? I've never been a dad!"
Chu Yang: "???"
As if I have!
"I heard it's a daughter, very cute, about six months old now. In the spirit of humanitarianism, before you go off to conquer the four directions, I think it's necessary for you to properly meet your wife and daughter."
Li Qingyun's breathing became rapid; he was a little nervous. How much force should he use to hold his child?
Should he bring toys? Should he bring diapers? Should he bring storybooks?
Should he bring milk powder... Hong Yu's is very large, so probably not needed.
"Immortal Brother! Wait, I need to go home first, I need to bring things for my daughter!"
"It's okay, take your time. Actually, I can also send your parents over to see their granddaughter."
"Immortal Brother, wait for me!"
Li Qingyun could no longer remain calm. He was too lazy to resent Qing Di and Xia Yunxi anymore. He had done such a thing to Hong Yu and had a child, so he had to take responsibility.
So Li Qingyun directly emptied an entire supermarket, giving the supermarket owner a few top-grade spirit stones.
He also emptied several clothing stores, and then took his parents with him to the cultivation world.
The time flow there was more than two hundred times that of Blue Star, so if they stayed there for two years, only a few days would have passed here.
Half a day later, Li Qingyun brought his parents before Chu Yang and said nervously, "Immortal Brother, I'm ready."
Chu Yang took out the [Plane Anchor Book], patted Li Qingyun's shoulder, and said, "Don't be too nervous. You're already over a hundred years old, perfectly old enough to be a father. Remember to send a photo from there so I can see if your daughter is very cute."
After speaking, Chu Yang sent the apprehensive Li Qingyun and his parents on their way...
