While the entire outer layer was still in an uproar over the news that another challenger had conquered the Ten Shadows Trial, Max had no idea what was happening outside.
He was standing inside the reward chamber.
The room was vast and ancient, with golden light flowing across the walls and countless cultivation resources arranged around the edges. There were rare ores, spiritual herbs, sealed containers, crystals packed with dense energy, and various materials Max couldn't immediately identify.
His attention, though, went straight to the center.
Five stone podiums stood there in a straight line, each one holding a reward.
Max walked over to the first podium, and the moment he saw what rested above it, his eyes widened slightly.
A large cluster of crystalline fragments floated above the stone surface, each one giving off a faint but profound aura he recognized at once.
Cosmic Fragments.
Not one, not ten, and not even a hundred.
[Reward: 1,000 Cosmic Fragments]
