The Supreme Holy Sun Decree! A phantom phoenix—is this whose token?!

"This... this is...?!"

After seeing the token, Fierce Sword King sucked in a cold breath!

"Elder Yang, what's wrong?"

Beside him, Lei Jingxiao saw his own Elder, who was usually as steady as Mount Tai, lose his composure over a mere token, and he couldn't help but feel bewildered.

He casually glanced at the token in Lin Mo's hand and said dismissively:

"Isn't it just a sacred sun token?"

"Why make such a fuss?"

"While these things aren't exactly everywhere, they aren't exactly rare in our Holy Land, right?"

Lei Jingxiao's words weren't without merit.

In the Yanyang Holy Land, the sacred sun token was indeed a symbol of status, usually held by powerful Elders with actual authority.

When these Elders traveled abroad and found a promising talent they liked, they would gift this token as a mark of recognition and a keepsake.

Those who held this token would gain the qualification to directly participate in the Holy Land's entrance examination and even receive a certain degree of preferential treatment.

Even a Prodigy like him, as one of the top ten sequences, held a few such slots in his hands.

So in his view, while it was a bit surprising that Lin Mo could produce a sacred sun token, it was still reasonable.

After all, for a peerless Prodigy like Lin Mo, wouldn't it be perfectly normal for some wandering Elder to have taken a fancy to him and gifted him a token?

"No... you don't understand!"

Hearing Lei Jingxiao's words, Fierce Sword King did not relax at all. Instead, he slowly shook his head, his tone becoming more solemn than ever before.

"Jingxiao, look closely!"

"The patterns on this token, and that ancient, weathered aura..."

"This is by no means an ordinary sacred sun token."

"This is... the supreme sacred sun token!!"

He stared intently at the token and said each word with deliberate emphasis.

"What?!"

"The... the supreme sacred sun token?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lei Jingxiao reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, his voice even changing pitch.

"Holy crap!!"

"Elder Yang, are you saying... this is a token given out by one of our Holy Land's Grand Elders?!"

Grand Elder!

The weight of those two words was truly immense!

One must realize that even within the Yanyang Holy Land, where powerhouses were as common as clouds,

those Grand Elders, who were usually as elusive as dragons, were legendary figures who served as the Holy Land's stabilizing pillars!

Every single Grand Elder was a genuine powerhouse of the Saint Realm!

Even someone like Lei Jingxiao, who held a very high status as the highly anticipated Ninth Sequence of the Holy Land,

had only been fortunate enough to see one or two Grand Elders in his entire life!

And the number of times he had met them could be counted on one hand!

As for obtaining a Grand Elder's personal keepsake, the \"supreme sacred sun token\"?

That was something he wouldn't even dare to dream of!

It could be said that seeing this token was like seeing the Grand Elder in person!

Its status was so exalted that even the current Holy Lord would have to show some respect upon seeing it!

"A keepsake from a Holy Land Grand Elder?!"

"Hiss...!"

Hearing Lei Jingxiao's exclamation, Formation Grand Master, Xuan Guangzi, and the others nearby all changed countenance, their eyes instantly filling with deep awe.

A Saint!

That was a supreme existence who had truly transcended the mundane and wielded the Laws!

Never mind that one was a Ninth Rank Grandmaster of Formations and the other was a Sect Revered Master.

But in the face of a true Saint, they were no different from ants.

If they could truly establish even a small connection with such an existence, even if it was just having a token in hand,

then on this small patch of land known as Shengyang Prefecture, they could be said to have unimpeded passage and could basically do as they pleased!

"supreme sacred sun token?"

"Is there any difference?"

Seeing the exaggerated reactions of everyone around him, Lin Mo, the person involved, was actually the most confused.

He scratched his head and looked the token over, turning it back and forth with a face full of bewilderment.

Back in the Qingxuan Sect, when his cheap Revered Master Sikong Yang had stuffed this thing into his hands, he hadn't mentioned that the token had such a grand origin, had he?

He had only said it was a keepsake that would allow him to participate in the examination.

How come taking it out now resulted in such an unexpected windfall?

"Difference?"

"Of course there's a difference..."

"And... it's huge! It's like the difference between heaven and earth!"

Fierce Sword King gave Lin Mo a bitter smile, his eyes filled with complexity.

"This young friend probably has no idea what kind of hot potato... no, what kind of heaven-sent Opportunity he's holding in his hands!"

"Young friend, could you allow me to examine this token closely?"

"This is of great importance, and I must confirm it without any error!"

Fierce Sword King composed himself and looked at the token in Lin Mo's hand, his tone becoming extremely solemn, even carrying a hint of a request.

"Of course."

"Please!"

Lin Mo didn't hesitate at all and generously handed the token over.

In any case, this thing was just a stepping stone for him; it wouldn't hurt to let the other party see it.

Fierce Sword King took a deep breath and extended both hands in an almost respectful posture,

carefully cupping the crimson token in his palms.

He first used his fingertips to gently stroke the complex and ancient patterns on the token's surface,

feeling the special, immortal charm that had weathered the ages; he was already eighty percent convinced of his suspicion.

"The material is Scarlet Dragon Blood Gold, which only Grand Elders are worthy of using..."

"The patterns also carry the aura of Saint Realm Laws..."

The more Fierce Sword King looked, the more alarmed he became, and a layer of fine sweat even broke out on his forehead.

To make the final confirmation,

he gritted his teeth, mobilized a trace of pure spiritual energy within his body, and slowly injected it into the token.

Buzz!

The moment the spiritual energy entered, the originally dull and dark crimson token suddenly erupted with brilliant light!

Immediately following that...

Screech—!

A noble and divine Phoenix phantom, its entire body wreathed in Undying Flames, soared into the sky from the token without any warning!

Although the Phoenix phantom only flashed by for an instant,

that loud and resonant cry of the Phoenix, which seemed to penetrate the Soul, clearly echoed in the ears of everyone present!

A supreme Saintly Might then spread outwards!

"Hiss...!!"

"Thi—this is..."

The moment he saw the Phoenix phantom, Fierce Sword King's entire body trembled violently, his feet stumbled, and he nearly failed to keep his balance and fell to the ground!

His hands cupping the token shook even more violently, nearly causing him to drop the incredibly precious token!

At this moment, the shock in his eyes had reached its peak, and even his voice had become hoarse.

"The Phoenix cries in the Nine Heavens..."

"This... this is actually THAT person's keepsake?!"
