If he had had money, he was confident he could have gotten into the top ten.

“Who distributes that reward?” asked Long Chen.
No wonder Qu Jianying had said that there would be another pleasant surprise.

“I’m not sure.
It seems to relate to some kind of secret.
All I know is that once the reward comes, the top ten will instantly soar,” said Xia Chen.

Long Chen nodded.
Since that was the case, they just had to wait for the good news.

Long Chen immediately went to talk to Li Tianxuan.
Li Tianxuan naturally didn’t refuse Xia Chen’s plan, so Long Chen arranged it.

In truth, Long Chen could have directly taken this money.
Li Tianxuan had said that this money would belong to the Dragonblood Legion because the reward for heavily injuring the Corrupt path’s Devil Kings was enough to rebuild the sect.

However, the reward for injuring the Corrupt path would take some time to come, so Long Chen had been planning on using the spirit crystals to rebuild the sect first.

Now that there was a formation grandmaster present, there was no need to worry about it.
They didn’t even need to pay for outside labor.
They only needed the Dao Sect’s people to work together to finish it off.
It was convenient and cheap.

Xia Chen changed some vital portions of the formation.
The places that originally would have required spirit crystals to power had been switched with devil cores.

These devil cores’ most amazing point was that they were still alive in the sense that they continuously absorbed energy from the air that could be extracted to power the formation.

Those ancient formations didn’t have this ability and would instead require a huge amount of spirit crystals to function.
Each time the formation was activated, it would cost a huge amount of spirit crystals.
An ordinary sect wouldn’t even be able to afford that cost.

However, after being switched to devil cores, not only did that allow the formation to be activated to a certain level at all times, but any extra energy could be stored, saved for a real fight.
It could also be converted to other kinds of energy.
That was why these devil cores were such priceless treasures.

Xia Chen immediately began working with Guo Ran.
He spent half his time rebuilding the Dao Sect, while the other half was spent refining the Dragonblood Legion’s battle formation.
He was also working with Guo Ran to invent new armor and weapons that were connected to the formation, allowing the Dragonblood Legion to unleash even greater power.

Although the two of them had come up with the basic principles, going from theoretical to practical required constant testing.
It was a long and arduous process.

Fortunately, both of them were shockingly talented in this regard, and both worked hard.
The formation gradually took shape, and the Dragonblood warriors were drilling with them.
They gradually began to feel just how powerful this formation was, exciting them.
They were filled with anticipation for their future accomplishments.

While the two of them were busily working, the news that the Xuantian Dao Sect had obtained a fifteen billion spirit crystal reward spread throughout the Eastern Xuan Region.

The fact that Long Chen had split that reward into three equal portions also spread.
The entire region was shocked that he had given one portion to the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect and one to the families of the dead as compensation.

It had to be known that many sects only had a few hundred spirit crystals in total.
Possessing a few million spirit crystals would make them a first-rate sect.

As for the Xuantian Dao Sect, it had instantly obtained fifteen billion spirit crystals.
Countless sects were jealous, as well as regretful.

They had listened to other people’s enticement and decided not to participate in the battle of the Devil Abyss, allowing the Xuantian Dao Sect to devour the entire reward itself.

How could they not be jealous? The Heaven Splitting Battle Sect had only sent three thousand people.
None of them had died, but they had been given five billion spirit crystals.

As a result, some people began to criticize Long Chen for his favoritism.
The Xuantian Dao Sect had lost tens of thousands of disciples, while the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect hadn’t even lost one, yet both sides were getting the same five billion spirit crystals.
Wasn’t he saying that the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s disciples were more valuable than the others?

Some experts even began to instigate trouble with the families of the dead, telling them to come out and criticize the Xuantian Dao Sect.

Regretfully for them, those families ignored them.
It wasn’t as if they were fools.
The current Xuantian Dao Sect was an enormous existence that they couldn’t do anything about.
Furthermore, their compensation for the deceased disciples was already too generous.

Although some people might be affected by some rumors and feel a bit of dissatisfaction, they were well aware of Long Chen’s temper.
Whoever dared to cause trouble for the Xuantian Dao Sect would be wiped out without hesitation.
He wouldn’t mind reuniting them with their dead family members.

Long Chen couldn’t be bothered to explain those rumors.
Li Tianxuan also sent word that the Xuantian Dao Sect was allied with the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect, and the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect would fight to the death for them.
According to reason, the reward should have been split in two ways.

The only reason it was split in three was because of their generosity to the families of the deceased.
The compensation that the Xuantian Dao Sect had paid out was definitely over ten times what the other regions had given.
If people didn’t believe that, they could go check and confirm for themselves.

With just that, those voices instigating trouble fell silent.
Li Tianxuan’s words were absolutely correct.
Any dissatisfaction was only because they hadn’t compared themselves with the other regions.
As soon as they did, they realized how generous the Xuantian Dao Sect had been.

However, just as the first wave of rumors were placated, another piece of news caused new waves.
