Even if Teng Longtian hadn't said anything, how could Lin Yu have failed to divine it?
Lin Yu truly didn't care much about the Supreme Sword Sect's affairs.
After all, he had already punished the Supreme Sword Sect, leaving the sect with wounded muscles and broken bones. Could he really stop them from seeking this little benefit?
With that, Lin Yu flicked a finger. A tiny strand of primordial Dao Intent separated from the compass and vanished into Teng Longtian's brow in the blink of an eye.
"Boom..."
In an instant, the spiritual power around Teng Longtian surged. Endless azure Dao Intent gushed from his body, its azure light forming an azure lotus in midair. Its petals swayed, bearing an indescribable mystery.
Teng Longtian's strength visibly increased by an unknown amount. Watching from the side, Feng Lingao and Chen Xiaoxian both looked somewhat curious.
Even Feng Lingao, who ranked second, couldn't help looking at Lin Yu with a hint of anticipation. By now, the Hall Master of the Primordial Hall seemed incomparably mysterious to him, even more so than the master of the Valley of Devouring.
But if Feng Lingao knew that Gu Yongchun, the master of the Devouring Forbidden Land, was such an unreliable person, he would probably have felt disappointed. That, however, was another matter.
Of course, since the Primordial Arena Tournament was completely closed off, Feng Lingao knew nothing about how Lin Yu had just given Gu Yongchun a vicious beating.
Compared to Feng Lingao, Chen Xiaoxian's gaze could be described as free of desire or ambition. He looked at Lin Yu more with curiosity and scrutiny.
Clearly, even Chen Xiaoxian, who came from a place like Short Sky Island, found Lin Yu unfathomable.
But he did, after all, have a Quasi-Emperor senior behind him. What he had seen and heard far exceeded anything Teng Longtian and Feng Lingao had experienced, so naturally, he appeared more composed.
Lin Yu didn't particularly care what the two were thinking. His gaze settled calmly on Feng Lingao.
"Feng Lingao, I'll give you two choices. First, I can give you the Frost Saint King's inheritance. It will only be an incomplete portion, but I believe reaching the Saint realm with it will be no problem for you."
A Saint!
An existence countless cultivators could only gaze up at, forever beyond their reach, yet Lin Yu had spoken of it so easily, and in such a casual tone!
Even Feng Lingao felt a surge of excitement at Lin Yu's words.
"Second, I can help advance the Dharma Supreme Cold Scripture you currently practice to its second level!"
Feng Lingao, who had just been delighted, nearly froze at the words "Dharma Supreme Cold Scripture." Rather than delight, what he felt now was shock-even fright!
Just how had the Hall Master of the Primordial Hall deduced this?
From the very beginning, Lin Yu had remained seated in his cloud chair without ever approaching him. Yet even so, he had discerned both his and Teng Longtian's circumstances with perfect clarity.
Feng Lingao didn't know much about Teng Longtian's situation, but the Dharma Supreme Cold Scripture he practiced was among the Valley of Devouring's most closely guarded secrets.
To protect his cultivation method, the sect's elders had even joined forces to place a barrier on him. Supposedly, anyone below the Saint King realm could never see through it.
Did this mean the Hall Master of the Primordial Hall truly understood everything from heaven to earth, and that his strength surpassed even a Saint King's?
At this thought, Feng Lingao felt wave after wave of alarm.
Lin Yu watched the conflicted Feng Lingao with interest. Either of these choices would be excellent for any cultivator. Now it all depended on which he chose!
What Lin Yu hadn't mentioned, however, was that according to the system's deductions, the Dharma Supreme Cold Scripture was an Emperor Level cultivation method. Even if Lin Yu wanted to deduce further, his current permissions only allowed him to deduce up to the second level.
From Lin Yu's perspective, he hoped Feng Lingao would choose the second option. That way, he could also take the opportunity to examine the mysteries of an Emperor Level cultivation method.
But Lin Yu didn't understand Feng Lingao's character, so he couldn't be certain which choice he would make.
In fact, as the former second-place holder on the Eastern Wasteland Heaven's Chosen Ranking, Feng Lingao was by no means shortsighted. Moreover, the relative importance of advancing to Emperor Level versus Saint Level was clear at a glance.
Compared to an Emperor Level cultivation method, quickly becoming a Saint no longer seemed quite so appealing!
"Good!" Lin Yu looked at Feng Lingao with a hint of approval. The lad had made the right decision!
After receiving Feng Lingao's agreement, the Primordial Platform had already begun analyzing the Dharma Supreme Cold Scripture. Since it was an Emperor Level cultivation method, it would take some time.
"The deduction will take a while, roughly three days. In three days, I'll give you the second level of the Dharma Supreme Cold Scripture!" Lin Yu assured Feng Lingao.
"Thank you, Hall Master!" Feng Lingao said excitedly, abruptly bowing to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu waved a hand indifferently, then teleported Feng Lingao and Teng Longtian out.
Now only Chen Xiaoxian remained in the entire white space. Feeling Lin Yu's gaze settle on him, Chen Xiaoxian scratched his head and smiled somewhat awkwardly.
"Hall Master, sir, there's nothing in particular I want. How about you just give me whatever you think fits?" Chen Xiaoxian said, displaying a completely different sort of "freedom from desire" from Teng Longtian and Feng Lingao.
Lin Yu chuckled. "All right. In that case, I won't help awaken your bloodline. I was planning to lend you a hand, but since you don't need it, forget it!"
"Boom!"
The moment Lin Yu finished speaking, the presence surrounding Chen Xiaoxian underwent an earth-shaking change. A terrifying presence gushed from his body, and the shape of a dragon could faintly be seen behind him.
At last, a crack appeared in Chen Xiaoxian's perpetually simple, smiling expression. A hint of shock entered his gaze as he looked at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu paid that no mind. He had deliberately said those words to draw out the presence surrounding Chen Xiaoxian.
It seemed Chen Xiaoxian was still a young man after all, easily losing his composure. Lin Yu had only said a single sentence, and he already couldn't hold himself back!
As Lin Yu reflected on this, he rapidly analyzed the presence emanating from Chen Xiaoxian.
[Ding! Deduction complete. Result: peak Radiant Body, half-step Sainthood!]
Tsk, tsk, tsk, half-step Sainthood! No wonder he's so relaxed right now, Lin Yu thought. Of the three just now, Chen Xiaoxian had looked the calmest.
Yet now, even Chen Xiaoxian could no longer remain calm. Disbelief covered his dark face.
"H-Hall Master, what did you just say?!" Perhaps because he was too excited, Chen Xiaoxian's voice had changed considerably by the end.
Lin Yu found it amusing, but he deliberately put on a regretful expression as he spoke. "I originally intended to help awaken your bloodline, but now it seems you don't need it! In that case, take a magical treasure and leave!"
