Gu Lingwei suddenly let out a cold snort. Though the sound was not loud, it made the entire great hall feel as cold as an ice cavern.

Lin Shen broke out in a cold sweat.

"Also, I heard that quite a few Outer Disciples have been spreading rumors that Huang Xiaolong cheated to get second place," Gu Lingwei continued.

Lin Shen's forehead was drenched with even more cold sweat.

He was aware of the rumors among the Outer Disciples now.

He had only allowed it in secret.

The great hall was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.

Only after a few minutes did Gu Lingwei speak again, "Deduct this month's salary from you, Huang Xiaoming, Jiang Yan, and others, and give it all to Huang Xiaolong as compensation." He paused and added, "You don't have any complaints, do you?"

"No complaints, none whatsoever!" Lin Shen breathed a sigh of relief and replied repeatedly.

In the Barbarian God Sect, all disciples including the elders and Supreme Elders receive a monthly salary, which they can use to obtain certain Divine Pills, Divine Coins, and Spiritual Medicine.

"You, along with Huang Xiaoming, Jiang Yan, and the others, will personally deliver this compensation to Huang Xiaolong," Gu Lingwei added.

"Yes, Sect Master." Lin Shen dared not say anything further.

...

Deep within a dense forest not far from the Barbarian God Sect Mountain Range, a figure was frantically fleeing with all his might. It was none other than Lin Chaoqun, Lord of the Lin Family Castle.

The news of Huang Xiaolong winning the top spot in the Hidden Dragon List had already spread.

Upon hearing it, Lin Chaoqun was shocked and terrified, and urgently contacted Chen Jinzhi. However, Chen Jinzhi did not respond for a long time, which made him even more anxious and uneasy. Unable to get in touch with his son Lin Sheng, he fled the Barbarian God Sect Mountain Range in a panic, hoping to get as far away from Huang Xiaolong as possible.

After a frantic flight, Lin Chaoqun stopped, leaned against an ancient tree, and panted heavily, wiping the cold sweat off his forehead.

"Lord Lin, where are you planning to go? Do you need me to see you off?" Suddenly, a cold voice rang out.

Upon hearing this familiar voice, Lin Chaoqun's entire body stiffened, his face turned ashen, and his eyes were filled with terror as he looked at Huang Xiaolong standing before him.

He hadn't expected Huang Xiaolong to catch up so quickly.

"Huang, Huang Xiaolong." Lin Chaoqun's teeth chattered up and down.

With a cold expression, Huang Xiaolong approached him slowly.

After receiving the rewards for the Hidden Dragon List, Huang Xiaolong didn't return to his cultivation room.

His first task was to deal with Lin Chaoqun.

Following the whereabouts of Lin Chaoqun from Chen Jinzhi's memories, Huang Xiaolong had chased him all the way here.

"Huang Xiaolong, don't kill me. I've obtained an ancient major sect's treasure map. I can give it to you." Lin Chaoqun said urgently.

However, before he could finish, he was captured and brought before Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong's eyes emitted a purple soul character that entered Lin Chaoqun's brow. After a moment, the Soul Search was complete, and Huang Xiaolong couldn't be bothered to take his Divine status, directly burning him to ashes with Divine Fire.

"Prison Suppressing Sect," Huang Xiaolong mumbled to himself.

From Lin Chaoqun's memory, a few years ago, Lin Chaoqun did indeed obtain a treasure map belonging to a sect on Azure Cloud Island called the Prison Suppressing Sect.

This Prison Suppressing Sect was a major sect on Azure Cloud Island over a hundred thousand years ago but was destroyed by the Giant Whale Sect a few thousand years ago.

The Prison Suppressing Sect had existed for over a hundred thousand years, so its treasure and wealth must be considerable.

The treasure map was not on Lin Chaoqun but hidden in a secret underground chamber within a stone wall of the Lin Family Castle.

With a flash, Huang Xiaolong left the scene.

He planned to visit the Lin Family Castle to retrieve the treasure map later.

Lin Chaoqun hadn't informed others of the treasure map's existence, not even his son Lin Sheng, so Huang Xiaolong wasn't worried about it being taken by others.

Half a day later, Huang Xiaolong returned to his cultivation room at Hidden Dragon Peak, sat cross-legged on his Cold Jade Bed, and took out the hundred millennia-old Fire Dragon Spirit Fruits awarded for winning the first place in the Hidden Dragon List.

Besides the hundred Fire Dragon Spirit Fruits, the reward also included a hundred Dragon Cloud Pills crafted by a Heavenly God High Stage expert, and one million Divine Coins.

Seeing the one million Divine Coins before him, Huang Xiaolong felt a spark of excitement. He wondered if he could now extract the pure spiritual energy from the depths of the Divine World to convert it into Divine Stones.

Since breaking through to the Heavenly God Realm, he hadn't tried.

Immediately, Huang Xiaolong reached into the void, and a cluster of pure spiritual energy from the depths of the Divine World was captured by him and then transformed into Divine Stones that rolled to the ground.

However, upon seeing the Divine Stones on the ground, Huang Xiaolong shook his head. The concentrated spiritual energy quality of these Divine Stones wasn't high. By the Divine World's standard of grading Divine Stones, the ones he converted could only be regarded as First Grade.

Above First Grade, there are Second Grade, Third Grade.

It is said that above the Tenth Grade, there are Chaos Divine Stones.

One hundred First Grade Divine Stones can be exchanged for one Divine Coin.

Huang Xiaolong estimated that at his current conversion speed, he could convert at most over ten thousand First Grade Divine Stones a day, which amounts to a little over a hundred Divine Coins.

Over a hundred Divine Coins are a significant amount for a small force like the Tie Family Castle or the Lin Family Castle, but for Huang Xiaolong, it's a mere drop in the ocean.

Given the refining speed of his current Three Supreme Divine Forms, the Spiritual Medicine and Divine Pills he could buy with just over a hundred Divine Coins wouldn't even be enough to fill the gap between his teeth.

Fortunately, the reward of one million Divine Coins would suffice for him for a few months.

In a few months, he would retrieve the Prison Suppressing Sect Treasure Map from the Lin Family Castle and unlock its treasure.

In truth, the reason he didn't take Lv Zhuo, the old ancestor of the Barbarian God Sect, as his master was because both Azure Cloud Island and the Barbarian God Sect were merely temporary stops for Huang Xiaolong.

In time, he planned to participate in the Wan Island Great Battle and head to the Creation Continent, leaving Azure Cloud Island behind for good.

Hence, Huang Xiaolong didn't want too many entanglements with the Barbarian God Sect.

Moreover, given the number of enemies he had, he didn't want the Barbarian God Sect to become his weak point.

Calming his mind, Huang Xiaolong swallowed all one hundred Dragon Cloud Pills refined by the Heavenly God High Stage expert to begin his cultivation.

In just six days, Huang Xiaolong completely refined all one hundred Dragon Cloud Pills.

Next, he proceeded to refine the hundred Fire Dragon Spirit Fruits.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, another half month had gone by.

Once Huang Xiaolong fully refined the hundred Fire Dragon Spirit Fruits, he finally broke through to the Heavenly God Second-stage Early Stage!

After cultivating for another month to stabilize his Heavenly God Second-stage Early Stage realm, Huang Xiaolong left his room and headed towards Grand Heaven Peak, not far from Hidden Dragon Peak.

Grand Heaven Peak is where Outer Disciples are promoted to Inner Sect Disciples.

According to the regulations of the Barbarian God Sect, now that he was in the Heavenly God Second Stage, he was eligible to be promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple.

Per the rules of the Barbarian God Sect, he was now allowed to access the Book Collection Pavilion to peruse the literature.

As one of the Three Great Sects on Azure Cloud Island, the Barbarian God Sect harbored a treasure trove of knowledge nowhere near comparable to the likes of the Tie Family Castle. It would allow Huang Xiaolong to understand the circumstances of the Creation Continent and the Wanxiang Divine Plane in detail.

Two hours later, Huang Xiaolong arrived at the Grand Heaven Hall on Grand Heaven Peak for his promotion to Inner Sect Disciple.

As per Barbarian God Sect rules, he was now a Heavenly God Second Stage Early Stage realm cultivator, thus eligible to be promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple and gain access to the cherished volumes in the Book Pavilion. Great, thought Huang Xiaolong.
