"Ding, Primordial Hall fame points +100!" "Ding, Primordial Hall fame points +100!" "Ding, Primordial Hall fame points +100!"
Without a doubt, the Primordial Hall's fame had risen to new heights thanks to its newly released Eastern Wasteland Faction Rankings. Ever since the rankings were published, the notifications had not stopped.
"System, mute."
The system: "..."
"Mute the fame point notifications, not yourself!" Lin Yu was truly at his wits' end with this system.
After a long while, the system's somewhat aggrieved voice finally sounded. "Would Master like to disable the Primordial Hall upgrade notifications?"
"Of course not!" Lin Yu's anger flared, though he was also somewhat surprised. "It's reached 'Coming into Prominence' already?"
Lin Yu had expected the Eastern Wasteland Faction Rankings to be effective, but not this effective.
"Notice: the Primordial Hall's fame level is 'Somewhat Famous.'" As the system spoke, it brought up the fame point page for Lin Yu to see.
The progress bar on the fame point page was already halfway full. The last time he checked, it had been at thirty percent; now it was over fifty percent!
"By the time the Primordial Arena Tournament starts, the progress bar should reach seventy or eighty percent at the very least." Lin Yu mulled it over.
"Ding! Progress has reached fifty percent. Distributing rewards! Congratulations, host!" "Ding! Awarding the Primordial Compass. It can release Great Dao pressure, from one to ten thousand streams at once. The host must develop its detailed functions independently! Congratulations, host!" "Ding! The number of Primordial Guards has increased to one thousand, and each guard's strength has risen to the early Spirit Light Realm! Congratulations, host!" "Ding! Awarding forty Announcement Boards! Congratulations, host!" "Ding! New Primordial Guard ability unlocked: their appearances can be shaped according to the host's origin power! Congratulations, host!" "Ding! The host's cultivation realm has risen to the peak Spirit Light Realm! Congratulations, host!"
A string of prank-like notifications rang madly through Lin Yu's mind, their dings and chimes instantly blending into an unbroken clamor.
He did not know whether the system was taking revenge on him, but fireworks even blossomed within his mind.
Lin Yu: "..."
The Primordial Hall's fame progress had only reached fifty percent, yet the system was acting as though the whole world were celebrating. It had never been this extravagant when he leveled up before! Who else could it be taking revenge on but him?
As the system notifications sounded, the sky above the Primordial Hall changed once again.
Shafts of light descended from the horizon. Hundreds upon thousands of golden beams fell onto Hongmeng Mountain at once, covering every Primordial Guard without missing a single one!
The Primordial Guards remained immovable beneath the golden light, but their strength soared wildly.
In the end, just as the Primordial Hall's system notifications had stated, every Primordial Guard's strength rose to the early Spirit Light Realm!
One thousand Spirit Light Realm experts-even the Eastern Wasteland's major sects would likely hang their heads in shame at that number!
The radiance dispersed, then gathered again. This time, it fell upon Lin Yu.
Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi converged on his body. Lin Yu could feel his meridians being scoured, countless traces of turbid Qi that ordinarily went unnoticed rising through his pores and evaporating into the air.
At the same time, Lin Yu's strength soared wildly! Early Spirit Light Realm... middle Spirit Light Realm... late Spirit Light Realm... peak Spirit Light Realm!
Finally, Lin Yu abruptly clenched his fist and threw a punch. Heaven and earth changed color-this was the strength of the peak Spirit Light Realm!
But something else drew his attention even more: the Primordial Compass!
The system had even made a point of saying, "The host must develop its detailed functions independently." Those words were laden with meaning, making it difficult for Lin Yu not to be curious!
Still, Lin Yu had long since grown accustomed to this trick of the system's.
Like the Primordial Platform, the Primordial Compass required him to figure out how to use it himself. The system had not explained all its functions, but that was precisely what made studying the Primordial Compass more interesting!
Lin Yu beckoned, and an azure disc came spinning over. The Primordial Compass hovered in midair, countless ancient characters engraved upon it. The entire compass was divided into countless small sections according to the ten Heavenly Stems and twelve Earthly Branches, making it look utterly mysterious.
Lin Yu gazed thoughtfully at the Primordial Compass. He casually picked it up and turned it twice at random. He had no idea what formation he had turned into place, but countless plants across Hongmeng Mountain drooped their heads in unison.
"Interesting!" Lin Yu clapped in admiration and could not resist trying a few more times.
However, without a test subject, its offensive capabilities could not be fully displayed, leaving Lin Yu with an unavoidable sense of regret.
Then, in a single instant!
A sharp gleam flashed through the eyes of Lin Yu, who had been idly toying with the Primordial Compass, and his gaze landed directly east of the Primordial Hall.
The sun was setting, and the horizon had already been dyed pink. An ordinary person would likely have seen nothing unusual beyond the clouds, but Lin Yu's strength was far from ordinary. Moreover, with his current strength, he was already among the outstanding talents of the younger generation.
"Hmm? A Radiant Body expert?" With a brief probe, Lin Yu discerned the newcomer's level.
Someone of that level likely came from a major sect. With a thought, Lin Yu moved onto the Primordial Platform, the newly acquired Primordial Compass still spinning in his hand.
Lin Yu gave it a casual twist, and a plume of white mist spurted out in front of the Primordial Compass. The mist gradually spread, revealing an image of a location a hundred li away at its center.
The Primordial Compass even had a projection function!
A hundred li away, a rift suddenly split open in the pink sky, and two figures emerged leisurely from within.
"Humm..."
The moment the two appeared, they caused quite a stir. Rays of golden light spread outward from their physical bodies. With the sun setting, the two cultivators stood in the sky like two suns.
"Radiant Body Realm experts!"
Cultivators soon spotted the two experts. Radiant Body Realm experts were uncommon in the Eastern Wasteland-even the major sects had only a handful-yet two had appeared at once.
Countless cultivators were intensely curious, wishing they could crane their necks to see the two experts' true faces. Unfortunately, how could this be something ordinary mortals were allowed to probe at will?
"Agh!" Quite a few cultivators cried out in pain. At the same time, bright red blood burst from their eye sockets!
Their blood gushed endlessly like fountains. Within mere seconds, each cultivator was reduced to an empty husk of skin. Such was the price of trying to pry into the powerful!
With such a gruesome lesson before them, the remaining cultivators, though curious, did not dare continue probing. They could only watch the two golden-lit experts disappear into the horizon.
Elsewhere, however, Lin Yu could easily see the two cultivators' true faces through the Primordial Compass's projection.
"System, deduce these two people's information!"
It was clear at a glance that they had come with ill intent, but Lin Yu was in no hurry. He had just been wanting to give the Primordial Compass's capabilities a proper test!
