Of course, their hearts were racing!
As hosts and Rotating Pill Realm martial artists of the Spirit Sea Realm Sword Competition, they could not participate, so the rewards set by the Heavenly Sacred Palace themselves were surprising.
But according to the rules of the "Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition," these nine late-stage Rotating Pill warriors could, just like everyone else, participate in the Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition and vie for one of the three spots to enter the Heavenly Sacred Palace, which naturally excited them immensely!
Joining the Heavenly Sacred Palace!
And the rewards of three Sacred Artifacts bestowed by the Vice-Lord of the First Holy Temple!
Such opportunities and rewards were coveted even by these nine late-stage Rotating Pill experts.
