The Great Ruler wanted to lie down but was thrown into the Spirit Road.

"If that Transcendent Realm person doesn't make a move, the outcome of the Spirit Crown Battle is already a foregone conclusion," someone in the audience said, looking towards the battle platform of the girl in the red dress.

"That's for sure, but it's a pity that we don't know what the outcome would be if she fought with those two."

"Indeed, both of them are seriously injured right now. It's hard to say when they'll be able to fight each other. It'll probably be even more exciting."

As the sword light and spear aura that had enveloped the battle platform disappeared, the figures of the two people reappeared.

Two spirit pillars descended from the sky onto the battle platform, protecting Luo Li and Ji Xuan and preventing the power that erupted at the last moment from fully impacting them.

Even so, they were still pale-faced, with blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, each sitting cross-legged on the battle platform, trying their best to calm the turbulent energy within them.

Similarly, the deans, in conjunction with the Mirror of Judgment, also unleashed their profound healing techniques to treat the injuries on the two and to stabilize their somewhat unstable cultivation levels.

However, it is clear that it is impossible for Ji Xuan and Luo Li to make another move in the short term.

"Heh, it seems the Spirit Crown of the Spirit Path has been decided."

Dean Tang Qiu looked at the others who had forfeited on the other battle stages, then glanced at Wen Qingxuan, who was still standing proudly in the arena, and smiled.

"Truly deserving of its name."

Deans Taicang, Tiansong, and Tianwang looked at Wen Qingxuan with gentle expressions, and they all felt that there was no problem.

Dean Tiansheng glanced at Ji Xuan, frowned slightly, but could only nod slowly, acknowledging the final Spirit Crown recipient.

"Then, let me announce it." Dean Tang Qiu stretched out her slender hand and touched the other battle platforms, causing them to burst into brilliant light and begin to disintegrate and disappear into nothingness.

Now, only the battle platform where Wen Qingxuan stood remains.

Tang Qiu smiled slightly, then pointed at Wen Qingxuan with another finger, leisurely guiding her to the highest point of the spiritual path, causing countless spiritual energies to burst forth brilliantly with her, illuminating the entire void.

At this moment, everyone, including the elders of the five academies, held their breath, their eyes drawn to the graceful figure in the red dress.

Some people pursed their lips, their eyes filled with admiration; others were excited, their expressions showing envy; but still others had gloomy expressions and incredibly complex emotions in their eyes.

"The final recipient of the Spirit Crown on the Spirit Path, Wen Qingxuan."

Tang Qiu spoke slowly, his voice resounding through the heavens, causing the Mirror of Judgment in the void to emit a melodious chime.

"The one who wears the Spirit Crown is Wen Qingxuan!"

This result reached the ears of everyone present, causing them to gasp in astonishment, their hearts pounding with shock, unable to calm down any longer.

"Congratulations, Qingxuan. As the Spirit Crown of this Spirit Road, you can receive the rewards from the Five Great Academies. These rewards could be divine weapons or divine arts."

Tang Qiu looked at Wen Qingxuan with an undisguised smile. As the dean of Wanhuang Academy, she was naturally very clear about Wen Qingxuan's background. In fact, Wen Qingxuan entered the Spiritual Path from Wanhuang Academy.

Previously, she had not observed Wen Qingxuan's figure in the Mirror of Judgment, which made her doubtful, but she also believed in Wen Qingxuan's strength and that the Spiritual Path would not hinder her.

Finally, just as she had expected, Wen Qingxuan appeared at the last place of protection, and her strength made her breathe a sigh of relief.

"Let me use the Mirror of Judgment once. I just need to find one rare and precious treasure," Wen Qingxuan said with a smile to Dean Tang Qiu.

Tang Qiu blinked. Although she was a little confused as to why Wen Qingxuan, with her family background, would go to such lengths to find a rare and precious plant, she didn't ask any further questions and nodded to the other deans.

The Mirror of Judgment is a treasure jointly owned by the five councils, possessing extraordinary detection capabilities, but its use requires a vote by the five councils.

"Heh, we have no problem." Taicang and Wu Tianwang exchanged glances and laughed.

Even Dean Tian Sheng nodded slightly; it was just a small request.

……

Yun Mo stood below the stage, looking at the Mirror of Judgment that appeared in front of Wen Qingxuan in the distance. His expression was somewhat indifferent. With his current mental capacity, he could naturally guess what Wen Qingxuan was thinking.

"Hmph, Captain Yun Mo, hmph." Wu Yingying wrinkled her nose and raised her fist at him.

"Heh, little brat, what do you know? Be careful, or those deans might bestow a title upon you, but with a really awful name, making you a laughingstock on Linglu Road." Yun Mo glanced at her, waved her away, and sent her on her way.

"Tch, the title of king is just a simple title, nothing special. You can decide for yourself when the time comes. It doesn't matter if you don't want the title." Wu Yingying rolled her eyes and looked back at the Mirror of Judgment, which exuded a mysterious aura.

The rest of the people below the stage also showed a hint of inquiry as they looked at the Mirror of Judgment that had suddenly appeared in the distance. They also wanted to know what the rewards the Five Great Academies would give to the Spirit Crown members.

However, soon, the other deans stepped forward, their imposing figures standing before everyone, radiating an awe-inspiring and overwhelming power amidst the fluctuations of spiritual energy.

"Now, let's begin the ceremony of bestowing the title of king upon the holder of the level nine token."

Dean Tian Sheng unleashed his majestic aura, pointing his finger at those holding level-nine tokens, causing their figures to slowly rise and stand in mid-air.

Then, the tokens in their hands burst open, their crimson light shining brightly, forming pillars of heaven and earth, as if the universe itself was celebrating at that moment.

At the same time, the original name of each person in the void appeared above their head.

"Ji Xuan, title: Xuan King."

"Luo Li, title: King Luo."

"Yan Ling, titled Flame King."

"..."

"Martial Spirit, title: Spirit King."

"Yun Mo, titled King Mo."

Those at the Fusion Heaven Realm can be crowned kings, while those below the Fusion Heaven Realm can only be considered to have the qualifications to be kings, provided they possess a level nine token.

As the titles of kings were bestowed one after another, every trial participant on the spiritual path below seemed to feel a sense of pride.

Their conversation continued.

"So the one with the Spirit Crown is called Wen Qingxuan, and the one in the Transformation Realm is called Yun Mo."

"I don't know which spiritual institution they'll go to, so I think I might have to avoid them."

"Heh, do you really need to be so afraid? Following behind them might actually give you more motivation."

"No, I think that could be a disaster. It would mean that the academy's resources would be tilted towards them."

Many people share this view, but others believe that going to the same spiritual academy with them might bring unexpected benefits.

Seeing geniuses and recognizing the gap between ourselves and them is the only way to motivate ourselves and strengthen our resolve.

"Next, each trial participant can choose the academy they wish to enter. At this moment, the five academies—Holy Spirit Academy, Martial Spirit Academy, Myriad Phoenix Academy, Azure Sky Spirit Academy, and Northern Cang Spirit Academy—have opened their doors to all of you, allowing you to choose freely."
