Liu Jie felt that the Order of Radiant Light was even more valuable than a sacred source lifeform. This was not because it could increase a person’s power like a sacred source lifeform could.
The Order of Radiant Light was an order made from metal spiritual ingredients and did not have any uses on its own.
However, it had exceptional symbolism because it was linked to Radiance Envoys.
Radiance Envoys were not only chosen from the Radiance Hundred Sequence but also people who held the Order of Radiant Light.
From the five members of the previous generation, the people from the next generation who had the Order of Radiant Light were given the right to apply to be a Radiance Envoy.
The Order of Radiant Light came from the imperial court, and every generation of Radiance Envoys would have ten Orders of Radiant Light that were to be given out to them.
9 out of the 10 Order of Radiant Lights had been given out to the current generation of potential Radiance Envoys within the last five years.
The Order of Radiant Light that was going to be given out to the champion of the Guard Ye Banquet’s Martial Arts Stage would be the tenth and last one.
This meant that the champion of the Martial Arts Stage had the chance to become a Radiance Envoy.
There was more than one advantage to obtaining an Order of Radiant Light. Even if the person who had an Order of Radiant Light did not end up becoming a Radiance Envoy, they would be able to join an exclusive ten-member group that would protect the five Radiance Envoys known as the Radiance Riders Team.
When Liu Jie had found out that there would be a Martial Arts Stage at the Guard Ye Banquet, he had instinctively thought of Lin Yuan.
Among all the people that Liu Jie knew, Lin Yuan was the most impressive Creation Master and combat-cla.s.s spirit qi professional.
However, he also felt that the Guard Ye Banquet was being held too early.
If the Guard Ye Banquet was held one year later, both the Order of Radiant Light and sacred source lifeform would be all but Lin Yuan’s.
This year, Lin Yuan had already decided to try out for the Radiance Hundred Sequence. Given Lin Yuan’s power, it would be easy for him to be accepted as a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.
Before the Radiance Envoy selection, the top ten Sequences of the Radiance Hundred Sequence would have the chance to become Radiance Envoys.
At that point, none of the Radiance Hundred Sequences would be hiding their power, and they would definitely engage in a ferocious battle with each other.
This would cause the Sequence to be thrown into chaos.
Previous Radiance Envoy selections had had a point-acc.u.mulation examination style, and the top five applicants with the highest points would become Radiance Envoys.
If the Order of Radiant Light was not used and one became eligible for the Radiance Envoy selection by being one of the top ten Sequences of the Radiance Hundred Sequence, the Order of Radiant Light would be equivalent to 100 points at the start of the Radiance Envoy selection. This would give all who had the Order of Radiant Light a leg up.
It would be too much of a waste if Lin Yuan missed this opportunity.
Since Liu Jie no longer needed Night Leaning Moon to watch over him, she prepared to leave the Spirit Guards’ land to head toward Midnight Palace.
Given that Night Leaning Moon was the organizer of the Guard Ye Banquet, she was already late.
Although there were still a few days before the Guard Ye Banquet, today was the day to discuss and make preparations.
By now, even Chef Supreme, who was always last to arrive, should have already reached Midnight Palace.
Just as Night Leaning Moon was turning to leave, Liu Jie called out to stop her.
She turned back to Liu Jie, who said, “Master, I want to wear the Spirit Guards’ standard mask during the Guard Ye Banquet.”
A look of shock crossed Night Leaning Moon’s face.
The Guard Ye Banquet was supposed to be for Liu Jie to declare his ident.i.ty and let everyone know whose disciple he was.
Thus, if he wore a mask at such an event, half the meaning of holding the Guard Ye Banquet would be gone.
Nonetheless, Night Leaning Moon could tell that Liu Jie was not asking a question or making a request.
The moment Liu Jie and let the first words pa.s.s his lips, he became determined.
Night Leaning Moon asked Liu Jie in confusion, “Why?”
The Spirit Guards’ standard mask was a special mask that the Spirit Guards wore during missions to prevent enemies from getting a good look at their appearance.
It covered almost every inch of skin on the face.
The inner side of the Spirit Guards’ standard mask also had the skin of the Sound Shark that could alter voices.
If Liu Jie wore the Spirit Guards’ standard mask, even those who were extremely familiar with his voice would not be able to tell that it was him.
Hence, Night Leaning Moon was extremely curious about Liu Jie’s reason for wanting to do so.
Liu Jie gently placed his hand on the Cla.s.s 2 Creation Master crest on his chest.
When she saw this action, Night Leaning Moon immediately understood what Liu Jie was thinking.
“Master, I’m Lin Yuan’s retainer knight, and he will be partic.i.p.ating in the Guard Ye Banquet. I don’t want to attract more attention than him before he reveals his ident.i.ty.”
Liu Jie’s words were simple, but they gave Night Leaning Moon a feeling like she had just traveled through time.
The Moon Empress and I were just like this. All I wanted was to quietly stand behind her and protect her. But she didn’t choose me. She chose Mystic Moon. My disciple is luckier than me.
Night Leaning Moon sighed and said simply, “Okay.”
She turned, walked out of the door, and disappeared like a ma.s.s of eternal night into the blazing afternoon light.
…
When Lin Yuan returned to the mansion, there was nothing he had to attend to.
There was no news from Condense Fairy Orchard or the Sea Bliss Clan.
Although they still had a trade agreement, not even Sun Ningxiang was contacting Lin Yuan as often as before.
Since Condense Fairy Orchard was a top faction, they would have to be in attendance at the Guard Ye Banquet.
There were only three main members left in the Sun family. Given that Sun Ningxiang needed the Bronze/Legend Muscle Growth Camellia, her grandmother’s injuries would definitely prevent her from traveling to the Royal Capital to attend the Guard Ye Banquet.
Sun Ningxiang’s brother was still young and oblivious.
Thus, Sun Ningxiang should be attending the Guard Ye Banquet on her own.
Since wolves were currently circling Condense Fairy Orchard, she would certainly have a hard time at the Guard Ye Banquet.
Lin Yuan had a business deal that he wanted to propose to Sun Ningxiang at the Guard Ye Banquet as the disciple of the Moon Empress.
