The Eternal Compass was the final reward of the Instance Tournament in the game's second stage, allowing its user to directly view the coordinates of the Third Stage's "Island of Beginning and End."
It was also the only divine item on the Endless Sea that could directly pinpoint an island's coordinates.
Lin Yuan had sold this item twice before. After the first sale, he had recovered it through after-sales measures; the second time, he had sold it to a new player.

A special formation lay at the center of the Island of Beginning and End. Players only had to enter it to awaken the grand formation and complete the game's Third Stage Main Storyline.
Conversely, as long as the Crawlers destroyed this grand formation, they could halt the Main Storyline's progress.
It was now a race to see who would find the island first.
The Crawlers had clearly accounted for this as well. With their backs against the wall, they had scattered large numbers of Priests, hoping to rely on numbers and luck to find the island first.
But despite all their calculations, they had failed to anticipate Lin Yuan's methods.
Although he had sold the Eternal Compass, he had long since stored the coordinates in his Lookout Platform.
And this Lookout Platform could also see through Spatial Distortion, allowing him to head straight to the island.
