After half a month of exploration, Lin Yu discovered that although the Primordial Hall was wonderful in countless ways and had endless functions, making full use of it still required a certain level of authorization.
According to the system, the host's authorization level was tied to the Primordial Hall's fame.
The system had also divided the Primordial Hall's fame into clearly defined tiers.
Unknown, somewhat renowned, rising to prominence, and resounding through the heavens.
In other words, the greater the Primordial Hall's fame, the higher his authorization would rise, allowing the Primordial Hall to play a greater role.
But increasing its fame was easier said than done. Surely he couldn't leave the Primordial Hall and promote it in one town after another?
Leaving aside whether anyone would believe him, once he left this place and lost the Primordial Hall's blessing, he would no longer be able to perform calculations, so that method was simply out of the question.
Besides, even if he stayed in the Primordial Hall, this place was deserted. He had waited half a month for this one group, and who knew how long he would have to wait for the next?
"Right, a ranking! That could work!"
A flash of inspiration struck Lin Yu, and he suddenly thought of a good idea. Since the Primordial Hall could scan the information of everyone throughout the region, and this plane revered the strong...
Then he might as well combine that with the announcement boards' features to rank all the powerful cultivators in the region, letting everyone discuss and verify it. That way, he wouldn't have to worry about the Primordial Hall's fame failing to grow.
However, with his current authorization, he could only accurately scan the data of cultivators under forty. Anything beyond that required greater authorization.
"System, immediately calculate the levels of the realms, weapons, cultivation methods, divine abilities, battle IQ, and other capabilities of all cultivators under forty in the Eastern Wasteland, then combine everything to rank the top hundred!"
[Ding! Calculation successful...]
As soon as he finished speaking, a screen appeared before Lin Yu, with a full hundred names arranged in order.
[Rank: 1st Name: Teng Longtian Age: 28 Current realm: peak of late Spirit Light Affiliation: forbidden ground, Valley of Devouring Rank: 2nd Name: Feng Lingao Age: 29 Current realm: peak of late Spirit Light Affiliation: forbidden ground, Valley of Devouring Rank: 3rd Name: Xie Qianchou Age: 31 Current realm: peak of late Spirit Light Affiliation: perilous land, Saint King Yunteng's Tomb Rank: 4th Name: Hong Qing Age: 27 Current realm: late Spirit Light Affiliation: forbidden ground, Valley of Devouring ... Rank: 48th Name: Feng Qiao'er Age: 25 Current realm: middle Spirit Light Affiliation: hidden sect, Yang Saint Sect...]
As Lin Yu read on, he discovered that the Valley of Devouring and Saint King Yunteng's Tomb had practically monopolized the top forty-eight places.
Meanwhile, the successors of the top powers in the Light and Dark Factions had all been pushed farther down.
But the problem was that one of those places was a forbidden ground and the other a perilous land. Only supreme experts in the Radiant Body Realm could barely manage to enter, and ordinary people would struggle even to survive there.
Judging from this, both places surely housed forces led by unparalleled experts.
"Heh, looks like this plane is far from simple. Even the Eastern Wasteland alone has crouching tigers and hidden dragons."
Lin Yu continued reading with interest.
[Rank: 49th Name: Que Ling Age: 18 Realm: peak of the middle Spirit Condensation Realm Sect affiliation: rogue cultivator Rank: 50th Name: Du Xie Age: 39 Realm: middle Spirit Light Realm Sect affiliation: Dark Faction, Prison God Hall Rank: 51st Name: Fu Ming Age: 35 Realm: middle Spirit Light Realm Sect affiliation: Light Faction, Firmament Palace Rank: 52nd Name: Qing Lin Age: 20 Realm: peak of the early Spirit Light Realm (unawakened) Sect affiliation: Light Faction, Nine Dragons Hall...]
Before long, the name Que Ling caught Lin Yu's attention, because he was the only rogue cultivator so far. Moreover, his realm was only the peak of the middle Spirit Condensation Realm, yet he had left others in the Spirit Light Realm trailing behind him.
This was far too abnormal.
Stranger still, this person was only eighteen.
But after thinking it over, he found it understandable. Perhaps this person had stumbled upon an ancient inheritance.
Such things were hardly unusual in a vast fantasy world.
It was the one named Qing Lin who made Lin Yu a little curious.
The peak of early Spirit Light, and still unawakened. Connecting this with her circumstances and her sect, the Nine Dragons Hall, Lin Yu speculated that this young girl might possess a dragon bloodline.
"Pretty interesting."
Lin Yu read with relish, and before long, he came across Yu Hongyan's name.
[Rank: 59th Name: Yu Hongyan Age: 25 Realm: peak Spirit Condensation Realm Affiliation: Night Moon Palace]
Ranking fifty-ninth at twenty-five years old with a cultivation at peak Spirit Condensation was enough to demonstrate Yu Hongyan's outstanding talent.
After reading the entire ranking, Lin Yu couldn't help laughing aloud. The ranking's authority was beyond question. The order of the ranks determined the relative strength of those listed, and the system had taken every aspect into account.
Once this ranking was released, it would inevitably cause upheaval throughout the region. Powerful forces had appeared in the seldom-visited forbidden grounds and perilous lands, while a rogue cultivator who belonged to no faction ranked ahead of the successors of numerous top powers.
When the time came, the entire Eastern Wasteland would be stirred up by this ranking, and the Primordial Hall's name would surely shake the world!!
After copying the ranking onto ten announcement boards, Lin Yu flicked his thumb, and the five dazzling characters for "Eastern Wasteland Heaven's Chosen Ranking" were imprinted above the rankings.
But when he thought about how to send the rankings out, Lin Yu froze. "Right, how did I forget about that?"
He couldn't possibly visit every town in person. That was far too unrealistic.
[Ding! Master need not worry. The announcement boards can be instantly transported anywhere within the scanned region according to Master's instructions.]
Lin Yu said, "...Why didn't you say so earlier?!"
The system said, "You never asked..."
Lin Yu couldn't be bothered with this dumbass system and immediately brought up the scanned map of the Eastern Wasteland.
The entire Eastern Wasteland lay across the screen like layers upon layers of waves.
Soon, Lin Yu had an idea.
Then he quickly selected ten enormous cities and, with a flick of his finger, deployed the Heaven's Chosen Ranking.
"Heh, with this move, the whole Eastern Wasteland should be boiling!"
