"Fairy Yún, congratulations!" The Grand Elder of the Tiandan Sect, Dan Cheng, had an aged face so crumpled with smiles that his eyes were all but invisible.
He was the first to fly before Yún Qīngyáo, sending eighteen glazed lotus lamps spinning from his sleeves. "These are the Nine-Turn Yuqing Lamps, guarded by our sect for a millennium. Congratulations to the Golden Light Palace on claiming the supreme crown!"
Even the sword cultivators of the Spirit Sword Pavilion—a sect far too humble to place in the rankings—let out a collective roar. Seven ancient, inherited swords formed the Beidou Formation and hovered directly above Yún Qīngyáo's head. "Palace Master Yún possesses boundless righteousness! We of the Spirit Sword Pavilion gladly offer this sword array as a celebratory gift!"
