303: Addressing the disciples who were promoted

As Wang Three Spears' voice fell.

The eliminated Disciples on both sides of the arena, as well as those whose cultivation was not high enough to watch, instantly erupted into intense discussion.

"Hiss, to be promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple and actually have an Elder personally call out your name to congratulate you—the treatment of Inner Sect Disciples is truly high."

"Indeed, our Elders are all Great Emperor Experts. To be personally congratulated by a Great Emperor Expert—just thinking about it gets me a little excited."

"Hehe, I must participate in the next Promotion Assembly and I must be promoted. I want my name to be spoken by a Great Emperor Elder, so that the entire Qingtian Sect knows my name."

Hundreds of thousands of Outer Sect Disciples all looked at Wang Three Spears on the viewing platform with excitement.

They wished they could be promoted to the Inner Sect immediately, go to Wang Three Spears to receive their items, and have this Outer Sect Great Emperor Elder personally congratulate them.

After all, having a Great Emperor Expert personally call out your name in congratulation was a significant honor.

"Many thanks, Elder Wang!" Wang Ba put away his items, bowed in a flattered manner, and then left the side of the viewing platform with a happy expression.

"Next!" Seeing Wang Ba leave, Wang Three Spears called out indifferently.

Hearing Wang Three Spears' voice, Kun Kun, who was waiting in line, approached Wang Three Spears with an excited expression and bowed, saying, "Disciple Kun Kun greets Elder Wang!"

"Mm." Seeing Kun Kun take the initiative to state his name, Wang Three Spears nodded in appreciation.

After registering Kun Kun's identity token, he sent the clothing and other items flying in front of Kun Kun and continued to call out, "Congratulations to Outer Sect Disciple Kun Kun for being promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple!!"

"Many thanks, Elder Wang!"

Hearing his own name ring out across the Qingtian Sect.

Kun Kun grabbed his identity token, clothing, and other items, bowed excitedly to Wang Three Spears, and then moved towards Wang Ba, who was standing by the arena.

After distributing Kun Kun's items, Wang Three Spears did not pause but quickly called for the next Disciple.

As each Disciple received their items, their names echoed over the Qingtian Sect's plaza.

"Congratulations to Outer Sect Disciple Jiang Yi for being promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple!!"

"Congratulations to Outer Sect Disciple Xiao Zhiming for being promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple!!"

"Congratulations to Outer Sect Disciple Bao Yingjun for being promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple!"

"Congratulations to Outer Sect Disciple Shen Xingwen for being promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple...!!"

Watching the Outer Sect Disciples who had finished receiving their items standing proudly by the side of the arena.

The surrounding eliminated Disciples, as well as those who didn't participate due to insufficient cultivation, were all filled with envy.

Because from today on, they were no longer on the same level as Wang Ba and the others.

One had to know that the Inner Sect Disciples' second-level space had a time flow rate one thousand times faster than their first-level space.

In other words, Wang Ba and the others' cultivation speed would be twice as fast as theirs in the future. As the gap between them and Wang Ba's group grew larger and larger, they would no longer have any common topics to discuss with Wang Ba and the others.

The hundreds of thousands of Outer Sect Disciples who had not been promoted looked at the promoted Wang Ba and the others by the arena while whispering to each other.

Meanwhile, Wang Three Spears on the viewing platform continued to register names and distribute clothing and other items to the Disciples who came forward.

"Congratulations to Outer Sect Disciple Li Daniu for being promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple!!"

"Congratulations to Outer Sect Disciple Liu Xiaohua for being promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple!!"

"Congratulations to Outer Sect Disciple Hao Meili for being promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple!!"

"Congratulations to Outer Sect Disciple Tang Feng for being promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple...!!"

One by one, the Disciples received their Inner Sect items and were each congratulated by Wang Three Spears.

As these Disciples passed by Wang Three Spears one by one, the three thousand figures quickly decreased, and soon only one female Outer Sect Disciple remained.

"Congratulations to Outer Sect Disciple Wang Er'ya for being promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple!!"

After registering this female Disciple's information and handing over the Inner Sect Disciple's items to her, Wang Three Spears slowly uttered this female Disciple's name.

"Many thanks, Elder Wang!!" The female Disciple named Wang Er'ya grabbed her items, bowed happily to Wang Three Spears, and then trotted quickly to join the ranks of the promoted Disciples by the arena.

With all three thousand Inner Sect items for the promoted Disciples distributed.

Wang Three Spears came before Li Big Saber, cupped his hands, and said, "Grand Elder, all the items for the Disciples have been distributed."

"Mm." Li Big Saber nodded, approached Jiang Chen, who was enjoying a shoulder massage from Liu Shu, and bowed, saying, "Reporting to the Sect Master, the identities of the newly promoted Inner Sect Disciples have all been registered. I ask the Sect Master to give these Disciples a lecture."

Originally, once these Disciples received their items, they could have dispersed and returned to Cultivate.

But since Jiang Chen, the Sect Master, was present, he dared not announce the conclusion just like that. At the very least, he had to ask Jiang Chen to say a few words and let the Disciples feel the Sect Master's majesty before he could allow the Disciples to disperse and go to the Time Pagoda to Cultivate.

"Mm, very well." Hearing Li Big Saber's words, Jiang Chen waved Liu Shu away, stood up, and slowly walked to the front of the viewing platform.

Seeing Jiang Chen stand up to speak, both the Elders on the platform and the Disciples below stood up, looking at Jiang Chen respectfully, waiting for his lecture.

Scanning the hundreds of thousands of Outer Sect Disciples, Jiang Chen fixed his gaze on the three thousand Inner Sect Disciples, then raised his voice and said indifferently.

"All promoted Inner Sect Disciples, first of all, congratulations on standing out from over a hundred thousand Disciples and becoming Inner Sect Disciples of this Sect."

"I hope that after becoming Inner Sect Disciples, you will cherish the treatment of an Inner Sect Disciple and Cultivate diligently, striving to become the backbone of my Qingtian Sect in the future and contributing your own strength to the entire Sect!!"

As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking.

Wang Ba, Kun Kun, and the other three thousand promoted Inner Sect Disciples all bowed in salute and shouted in unison, "We will strictly follow the Sect Master's teachings; the Disciples will definitely Cultivate diligently and vow to serve the Sect to the death!!"

"Mm." Seeing the attitude of the three thousand promoted Disciples, Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction, then looked at those who had been eliminated, as well as those who did not participate in the Promotion Assembly due to insufficient cultivation.

"All eliminated Disciples, as well as those who did not participate in the Promotion Assembly due to insufficient cultivation, do not be discouraged."

"Although you were eliminated this time or did not participate in the Promotion Assembly, as long as you Cultivate diligently, you will still have a chance to enter the Inner Sect and be promoted to Inner Sect Disciples in the next Promotion Assembly!!"

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, the eliminated Disciples and those who did not participate in the Promotion Assembly all bowed and shouted, "Yes, Sect Master! We Disciples strictly follow the Sect Master's decree."

"Mm." Jiang Chen nodded slightly and said to Li Big Saber, "Big Saber, you take over from here. This Sect Master is returning to the palace."

After saying this, Jiang Chen gestured to Liu Shu and disappeared from the viewing platform.

Now that the Promotion Assembly was clearly coming to an end, as the Sect Master, he naturally possessed the privilege of leaving early.

"Respectfully send off the Sect Master!!" Seeing Jiang Chen leave, Li Big Saber and the other Elders, as well as the hundreds of thousands of Disciples including Wang Ba and Kun Kun, all shouted aloud.

After a while, once it was confirmed that Jiang Chen had completely left.

Li Big Saber raised his voice and announced to the promoted Inner Sect Disciples like Wang Ba, as well as the hundreds of thousands of Outer Sect Disciples, "Disciples, the Promotion Assembly has concluded. Please exit in an orderly manner!!"

"Yes, Grand Elder!" Upon receiving Li Big Saber's order, the Disciples cupped their hands in salute, then left the plaza in an orderly fashion and swarmed madly towards the Time Pagoda.

Seeing that the Disciples had all left.

Li Big Saber allowed Elders like Zhu Heizi to leave as they pleased.

When there were no other figures left on the plaza.

He summoned ten thousand Qingtian Guards to dismantle and pack away the arena, the viewing platform, and other items like chairs on the plaza.

Although these things were of little value, as the Grand Elder managing the Sect, he still tried to save wherever possible. He could not squander things just because the Sect was wealthy; he had to save everything he could for the Sect.
