At the side, two guards in golden armor carried a two-foot-long object in.

“Why does it look like a plaque?”

Fang Yuan was puzzled, but the Yan Shen Saint had already spoken.

“Fang Yuan, this is my appreciation of the Gu Immortal Sect, I hope you won’t embarrass this plaque in the future.”

Fang Yuan quickly said, “I will not disappoint Your Majesty.”

Thus, the Yan Shen Saint nodded in satisfaction and continued.

“Come, Fang Yuan, I allow you to open this plaque to take a look.”

This was really a plaque?

Fang Yuan looked around doubtfully, as well as at the prize that had been carried to his side.

After obtaining Yan Shen Saint’s approval, Fang Yuan stood up and lifted the red cloth on the plaque.

In the next moment, the contents of the plaque shocked Fang Yuan!

Not only was he shocked by the contents written on the plaque, he was also shocked by the materials used to write these words.

At this moment, following Fang Yuan’s actions, the representatives of the other sects in the hall also saw the contents of the plaque at the first moment. Immediately, the entire hall was in an uproar.

“What? Number one in the world?”

“Am I dreaming?”

“No way, the Gu Immortal Sect can obtain such a reward?”

Fang Yuan was also shocked. The plaque in front of him had these eight words, “The Number One Divine Sect In The World” that the Yan Shen Saint had personally written.

Because the Yan Shen Saint had a book path Gu worm, these eight words had his special aura, and no one could imitate it. And if someone really imitated it, the Yan Shen Saint would know immediately.

What shocked Fang Yuan even more was that these eight words were actually made entirely from amethyst stones!

Amethyst stones were very expensive to make in the Yan Shen Empire. Normally, it would be calculated in grams, but now, there was actually such a large amount before him.

The Number One Divine Sect In The World!

Every stroke of these eight words were like dancing dragons and dancing phoenixes, full of vigor.

Fang Yuan felt that just the value of these words alone could not be measured by primeval stones! This was a priceless treasure!

And “The Number One Divine Sect In The World” was even more incredible!

Fang Yuan felt that if he brought this plaque back, it would mean that in Yan Shen Saint’s heart, the Gu Immortal Sect was already the strongest sect in the entire Yan Shen Empire.

One could imagine how heavy the Yan Shen Saint’s hopes were!

Fang Yuan could not help but smile bitterly that the Yan Shen Saint had made such a move.

If he accepted this plaque of “The Number One Divine Sect In The World,” wouldn’t it mean that the Gu Immortal Sect would face challenges from all the sects in Yan Shen Empire?

And this also meant that the Gu Immortal Sect would no longer be peaceful, unless they could come up with a plan that would satisfy all the sects in the Yan Shen Empire, or a strategy that would convince everyone!

Right at this moment, the Yan Shen Saint continued speaking to Fang Yuan.

“Fang Yuan, I saw earlier that when you participated in the Gu Dao Convention, you used a Nine-turns Adamant Worm-manipulation Rod as a weapon. That should be your main weapon, right?”

“Yes! Your Majesty, it is a weapon that I have been using since the Foundation Establishment Realm!”

Fang Yuan quickly replied.

“Alright, then the personal reward that I’ll give you is also a rod. Someone, bring this treasure in!”

Following the Yan Shen Saint’s order, two golden armored guards carrying a golden rod walked in from outside the palace.

It was a golden rod with countless ancient inscriptions on its body. This rod was three feet long and two inches thick.

Fang Yuan looked at the Yan Shen Saint in surprise. He did not care about the weapon’s level and skill. Just its size and length were not suitable for him to use.

Fang Yuan then heard the leader of the ceremony department introduce it.

“Fang Yuan, this rod is a rank five Silver quality Gu worm that the Yan Shen Saint collected, the Golden Heaven Splashing Rod!”

“This Golden Heaven Splashing Rod can not only be used as a rank five Silver quality weapon, it also has the characteristics of a Gu worm, so you will need to feed and refine it.”

“Since it is a Gu worm, it naturally has the ability to change its size and shape at will, and after the Gu worm recognizes you as its owner, it will also increase your strength by a certain amount.”

Instantly, Fang Yuan looked at the Golden Heaven Splashing Rod in front of him in astonishment. It was extremely hard to imagine that this was actually the second Silver quality Gu worm that he had obtained!

And the first Silver quality Gu worm from before was even of a supplementary healing nature!

Fang Yuan stretched out his hand and touched this Golden Heaven Splashing Rod. At the same time, the spirit essence in his body surged out. The moment he came into contact with the Golden Heaven Splashing Rod, it had already successfully recognized its master. Clearly, the Yan Shen Saint had already gotten someone to deal with it before.

In the next moment, information regarding this rank fiveSilver quality Gu worm, the Golden Heaven Splashing Rod, immediately appeared in Fang Yuan’s mind. At the same time, the system notification for the Gu worm had also appeared.

“Congratulations, host, you have obtained another Silver quality Gu worm, the Golden Heaven Splashing Rod!”

“The current characteristics of the Golden Heaven Splashing Rod are…”

After looking at the data provided by the system, Fang Yuan discovered that this rank five Silver quality Golden Heaven Splashing Rod was indeed much stronger than his previous Nine-turns Adamant Worm-manipulation Rod!

Moreover, his Extension Energy Gu could also be used on this Golden Heaven Splashing Rod, and the moment Fang Yuan received the Golden Heaven Splashing Rod, it meant that his strength had undergone another earth-shattering change!

When Fang Yuan kept this Golden Heaven Splashing Rod in his acupoints, he immediately bowed to the Yan Shen Saint in gratitude.

However, the Yan Shen Saint did not stop Fang Yuan’s action, but calmly accepted the bow, because whether it was the rank five Silver quality Golden Heaven Splashing Rod or “The Number One Divine Sect In The World” plaque, their cost was extremely high, and they were extremely precious.

Not only did Gu worms have a difference in quality and rank, their own nature and function also had a huge impact on a Gu master’s strength.

Following that, just as Fang Yuan and everyone thought that the prizes for this Gu Dao Convention had already been distributed, the Yan Shen Saint continued to speak.

“Fang Yuan, I heard that you are only eighteen this year, and you are not married yet, right?”

“Your Majesty! That is indeed the case!”

Fang Yuan continued to say, not understanding what was going on.

“Good, I have a princess named Princess Yunyue, she is seventeen years old now. Princess Yunyue has always been extremely beautiful, and in Gu Dao cultivation, she is extremely talented. Usually, she is arrogant and eccentric, and I deeply dote on her.”
