Chapter 1047: Chapter 663: The Reward

The light from the Pillar Monument gradually dissipated, and the grotto returned to its usual darkness.

Each legion commander quickly assessed the breakthroughs of their warriors and promptly presented a summarized report to Qin Tian.

When Qin Tian saw the statistics, even with his composure, the corners of his lips couldn’t help but slightly curve upwards.

The results were extraordinarily gratifying.

Over four thousand warriors, without exception, all made breakthroughs.

Some improved by One Star, while others broke through by Three Stars—everyone’s strength ascended to a new level under the bathing light of the Pillar Monument.

The bottlenecks that had persisted in their current realms for so long were shattered one by one, and the cultivation shackles that had troubled warriors for years were thoroughly washed away by the golden light.

The specific numbers were even more invigorating—sixty-seven Tier Four warriors broke through to Tier Five; nineteen Tier Five warriors advanced to Tier Six.

A Tier Five Spiritualist is sufficiently qualified to serve as a battalion leader in the army.

Moreover, Tier Six is a watershed for Spiritualists, the first step into the realm of high-tier combat power, capable of fulfilling the core role of a main legion commander.

The Ice Extreme Pass suddenly gained sixty-seven Tier Five Spiritualists and nineteen Tier Six powerhouses; this undoubtedly represented a significant leap in strength.

Qin Tian carefully scrutinized the densely packed names on the list, lingering longer on a few familiar names.

Among those warriors who had just broken through to Tier Six, several were talents he had focused on and nurtured, including Liang He and Conis. These two "fortunate ones" who had rendered exceptional achievements also remarkably appeared on the list.

Besides the ordinary warriors, several legion commanders and core officers also experienced substantial improvements.

Li Qi, Terreda, Xiong, Old Ghost, and Ran Tu, these powerhouses who were originally at Peak Tier Six, had their physiques further strengthened and their Spiritual Energy compressed to be denser and purer under the light of the Pillar Monument.

The abyss between Tier Six and Tier Seven, which used to look daunting like a bottomless chasm to them, now seemed much less intimidating. They were far more confident about overcoming the Celestial Human Three Tribulations, and although necessary caution remained essential, it was no longer an ordeal of near certain peril.

Xue Wuyang, Kane, and several others in vice-command positions also had their Spiritual Energy enhanced by One to Two Stars, with varying degrees of improvement in both physique and Spiritual Power.

Although their realms did not achieve a qualitative leap, their foundations were now more solid, laying a firmer groundwork for future breakthroughs.

However, the enhancement of Spiritual Energy and physique was merely the surface layer of the gifts from the light of the Pillar Monument.

The true value of the Pillar Monument Light lies in its ability to elevate one’s bloodline and talent—an achievement unattainable through years of cultivation and a critical turning point affecting one’s future growth potential.

Spiritual Energy, physique, and Spiritual Power can all be augmented through diligent cultivation or the infusion of abundant resources. But bloodlines are different; they accompany Spiritualists from the moment of awakening and are engraved deep within the soul, fundamentally dictating one’s cultivation limits.

Unless one encounters a unique opportunity or consumes top-tier elixirs, the strengthening of bloodline power is exceedingly difficult.

Yet, the Pillar Monument Light accomplished this.

Qin Tian even suspected that numerous warriors’ bloodlines might have evolved under the nurturing of the Pillar Monument Light—transitioning from Black Iron to Bronze, or from Bronze to silver; such cases were likely not rare.

However, the advancement of bloodlines is not as perceptible as a realm breakthrough; the warriors, currently engulfed in the excitement of their skyrocketing power, have yet to immediately recognize it.

But through subsequent battles, they will inevitably sense the transformation in their bloodlines, and by then, their surprises will multiply.

Undoubtedly, this is an opportunity that could change the future of Ice Extreme Pass.

These over four thousand warriors will be the core backbone and foundation supporting the development of Ice Extreme Pass in the future.

Qin Tian nodded silently, storing the list safely.

He lifted his head, cast his gaze across the excited faces below, and slowly opened his mouth, his voice not loud but clearly heard by everyone:

"What just happened is now classified as top-level confidential. No one is permitted to divulge any information, violators will face military punishment."

"Yes!"

The warriors instantly straightened their postures, and their excitement was replaced by solemnity.

No one felt the military lord was overreacting.

They understood that many forces entering the secret realm this time were far stronger than Ice Extreme Pass.

For instance, the Nine Great Holy Bloods, or those ancient Golden Clans.

If the news of the Pillar Monument enhancement were to leak, Ice Extreme Pass would be thrust into a perilous situation, and the military lord would be pressured to disclose the location of the Pillar Monument by various factions.

At that juncture, it would spell massive trouble and even disaster for them personally, for the military lord, and for the entire Ice Extreme Pass.

Therefore, they must guard their tongues and bury this secret deep within their hearts, refraining even from internal discussion.

Seeing the nobles grasp the severity of the situation, Qin Tian nodded slightly and then waved his hand, and the Gate of Space unfolded once more in the grotto, with its silver aura exceptionally prominent in the darkened space.

The warriors did not hesitate; following the leadership of several legion commanders, they quickly assembled and marched in unison through the Gate of Space, returning to the Ice Extreme Pass Camp.

The grotto soon returned to emptiness.

Qin Tian did not leave.

He hovered before the obelisk, his gaze lingering briefly on the golden barrier that had just merged back together.

The location of this Pillar Monument has already been grasped by the Luohou Clan members of Saral’s lineage.

He was uncertain whether there were other members within the current Luohou Clan secret realm team who knew this secret.
