    Chapter 2148


    The sect had a custom of presenting gifts such as spiritual treasures and pills to every disciple or outer


    sect elder who reached the level of


    paragon.


    The reasons behind that practice were twofold: it served firstly as a manifestation of the sect’s


    acknowledgment and affirmation of the disciples, and secondly because paragons require higher-grade


    spiritual treasures. Lower-grade ones were hardly effective.


    In the past, the matters of preparing such gifts to highlight the newly- ascended paragon’s


    achievements were typically handled by the -sect’s elders. It was a different matter when the sect


    leader


    personally presented the gift. While that pill might not have been top- notch, its bestowal underscored


    Severin’s importance in Oskar’s eyes.


    Severin found himself a bit perplexed by Myles’s remarks. Fortunately, those individuals were unaware


    that his daughter, Selene, was


    Oskar’s apprentice, or else they would have been even more effusive with theirpliments. Severin


    downyed the situation and said, Well, it’s just a stroke of good luck. I don’t expect the sect leader to


    remember a rtive nobody like me.


    The elders and peak masters were speechless when he ate up all theirpliments. After some


    further praise, the elders and several peak masters from the first few peaks proceeded to leave.


    Danie nced at her peers and asked, “Now that you’ve made a breakthrough to paragon, are you


    confident about securing first ce and bing junior sect leader in the uing tournament?”


    When Severin heard this, he first nced at the remaining elders in the hall. Only Myles, Rowan, Lyka,


    and Danie were present along with several of their mountain’s elders. Fend was with them too.

    before posing that question at an opportune moment, Severin


    became alert and wondered to himself, ‘Is she suggesting that she’ll support me?’


    The sect tournament assessed the disciples’ progress and served as a challenge to both select the


    junior sect leader among the core disciples and determine who would secure the spot to go to Mind


    In the past, Severin might not have grasped the significance of that tournament due to histe entry


    into the sect. Furthermore, his attainment was still rather ordinary then, and it would not have been


    logical for any of the peak elders to ask him that as the tournament date loomed. It was his


    breakthrough to paragon that led Danie to take the initiative to ask. Her intentions were doubtlessly


    clear.


    He soon came to realize that Danie and others were nning to support him. The major core


    disciples-aside form Celeste and Raymond who had yet to reach the level of paragon-received covert


    support from many elders as well. The position of Junior Sect Leader or Mind’s quota was a rare


    opportunity. If Severin managed to secure the former position with their backing, then their status would


    rise ordingly. Conversely, if Severin secured a ce in Mind and reached the Grandiuno Sacred


    Land, he might have the chance to be a supreme paragon powerhouse and perhaps even rise to


    grander heights!


    In their view, Severin’s talent and ability was worth a gamble. Offering support that early was a


    calcted risk of which there would be minimal loss should it end in failure. However, there were plenty


    of rewards to be reaped in the future on the off chance of sess!
