"Young Master Zhou indeed possesses extraordinary cultivation!"
With Yu Dao defeated, this exchange, which was actually a challenge, had to come to an end. Headmaster Li quickly escorted Zhou Yi down from the stage. The young man had an imposing background and was not to be trifled with. Despite feeling uneasy, Headmaster Li could only wear a forced smile and acknowledge his own inferiority.
"Your Majesty, Lingxu Cave Heaven has conceded defeat. The first step of the initial task is complete," the voice of the Celestial Book Spirit echoed in Zhou Yi's mind. He breathed a sigh of relief, politely taking his leave from Headmaster Li.
"Very good!" Li Yu stretched and sat up from his bed. "We've completed one-sixth of the task. Zhou Yi, hurry and sweep through the other five sects! Your master is getting impatient."
With a thought, Li Yu instructed the Celestial Book Spirit to continue issuing tasks, urging Zhou Yi to head to the next cultivation sect.
"Wait a minute, I forgot to set task rewards," Li Yu suddenly realized he had overlooked an important aspect of motivating Zhou Yi.
"Without rewards, how can there be motivation to complete the tasks? Rewards are essential."
Li Yu decided to make up for this oversight. "But what should the reward be? It needs to be enticing yet not too costly. The only thing that fits is a cultivation manual."
Among all the resources scanned by the system, knowledge-based resources like cultivation techniques had the lowest production cost while still being highly attractive.
"Given that, I'll grant Zhou Yi a cultivation manual," Li Yu mused, quickly coming to a decision. "The Zhou surname originates from the Ji clan, making him a descendant of the Great Emperor. He's already exchanged for the Void Hand Imprint, so I'll simply give him the Void Sutra."
Days turned into weeks, and Zhou Yi's achievements grew increasingly remarkable.
After defeating Lingxu Cave Heaven, Zhou Yi arrived at Yanxia Cave Heaven. Already weakened by Li Yu's previous actions, they dared not provoke Zhou Yi further. A few token exchanges later, they conceded.
Next came Ziyang Cave Heaven, followed by Yuding Cave Heaven. These challenges involved genuine battles. Though no one aimed to kill, the fights were intense, with no one holding back.
Zhou Yi's journey through these challenges saw him grow ever more powerful and experienced in combat. Simultaneously, his reputation spread far and wide.
A month later, Zhou Yi completed the task of defeating six major sects. By then, his name was well-known throughout Yan.
"Your Majesty, the initial task of the Great Emperor's Path is complete," announced the Celestial Book Spirit.
Zhou Yi exhaled a long breath, feeling a wave of relief.
"Your Majesty, being a descendant of a Great Emperor and possessing a divine body, the system has matched your reward to be the Void Emperor Sutra."
"A reward? The Void Emperor Sutra?" Zhou Yi's heart leaped with joy.
He had wondered why the system's tasks seemed to lack rewards. It turned out the rewards were issued upon completing the entire task, and this reward was truly to his liking.
The Void Emperor Sutra was a supreme classic for proving the Dao as an Emperor. In the system's exchange catalog, it required tens of millions of energy points—an unattainable amount in the short term.
Now, completing the initial task had bestowed this invaluable classic upon him. How considerate was that?
At this moment, Zhou Yi was thoroughly satisfied with the Celestial Book Spirit system.
