You Guys Are Really Noisy!

Thousands of acres of fertile land and ten thousand miles of mountain ranges lay there, with blessed lands of good fortune nestled within. Abundant Spiritual Qi nurtured everything between them, filling the entire Primordial Wilderness. It surged up to the heavens and down into the earth, spreading far and wide to enlighten ten thousand spirits and a thousand kinds of wisdom.

Located on the eastern side of the Primordial Wilderness was a pure land, with mighty rivers flowing grandly and magnificent mountains stretching splendidly. Rugged ridges and majestic peaks spanning millions of miles merged into one, rolling endlessly away.

On the southeastern side stood an immortal mountain proudly and independently, shrouded in rising mists and encircled by immortal clouds, with Spiritual Qi lingering and never dissipating throughout the years. Deep forests lay hidden within, where the tender cries of deer echoed, and immortal birds and divine beasts occasionally manifested, contending for spiritual fruits and sharing divine nectars.

This mountain was none other than Kunlun Mountain.

Suddenly, dozens of long rainbows appeared on the horizon, landing at the foot of Kunlun Mountain after only a moment.

"Bang!"

For a moment, the sound shook the earth, kicking up dust and churning soil.

In the blink of an eye, they transformed into dozens of fierce wolf yaos!

The wolf yaos stood firm at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, their gloomy gazes fixed ahead.

Looking along their line of sight, one could see a giant rock suspended in mid-air ahead. The rock was perfectly round, its surface immaculate and dust-free, resembling pristine white snow and yet just like flawless divine jade.

Lying abruptly upon that rock surface was a young man.

The man was surrounded by the crowd of yaos, yet he acted as though he noticed nothing, leisurely stretching his limbs. His immaculate white robes set off his striking and handsome appearance even more. He slept with lowered eyelids, his lazy sleeping expression exuding an immaculate bearing, as though heaven were his bed and earth his blanket, and things ought to be just like this.

His name was Lin Yunji, and he was originally transformed from a white jade immortal bamboo on the cloud's edge.

He himself also possessed the cultivation of the early Taiyi Mystic Immortal realm!

The throng of wolf yaos was subdued by Lin Yunji's leisurely and carefree manner, remaining frozen in place for a moment.

"Can any of you recognize this person?" The middle-aged wolf yao at the lead had completed his transformation seamlessly, and was presumably of profound cultivation. He furrowed his brow as he stared, his tone laden with suspicion.

He was indeed the leader among the wolf yaos, and his cultivation was the most formidable as well, possessing the late Taiyi Mystic Immortal realm cultivation-two minor realms higher than Lin Yunji's cultivation.

Yao Qi surged into the sky all around his body, inspiring awe without anger. Just a simple narrowed gaze caused the surrounding air to seemingly stagnate.

"It is truly him!"

Suddenly, a small wolf cub squeezed out from among the pack of wolf yaos. Young in age, it sneaked behind the leader and gazed at him with a flattering look, nodding repeatedly. Fearing that it had not made itself clear, the cub added: "It is precisely this person!"

"What this subordinate saw was indeed him. Back then, he floated in the void and with a wave of a great hand, twenty-four pearls brimming with immortal light appeared out of thin air. He used those pearls to actually cut down and slay a Lion King Yao of the early Taiyi Mystic Immortal realm! Who could have imagined that his cultivation at that time was merely at the Great Completion of Mystic Immortal realm?!"

"If someone claims it was by his own individual strength alone, who would ever believe it!"

"Indeed, it must be that supreme treasure!"

"Mhm!"

Upon hearing this, the wolf yaos began to discuss in low voices.

The middle-aged wolf yao nodded faintly as well, his gaze turning substantive as he shot it toward the young man on the rock and said in a clear voice: "Might this little friend ahead favor us with a moment to converse?"

"Hum!"

It was merely a brief sentence, and with every single word he uttered, his imposing aura climbed a notch.

Just as his voice fell, the middle-aged wolf yao's aura had already climbed to its peak. His Law Power surged mightily, agitating his garments and causing the surrounding filth to vanish into nothingness.

His late Taiyi Mystic Immortal aura rippled outward, and the deterrent intent was self-evident.

For a moment, immortal birds flew off and spiritual beasts whimpered, scattering in all directions.

As if he had been disturbed, Lin Yunji then slowly opened his eyelids.

His gaze swept indifferently past the latter, before shifting away again. With heavy eyelids, he actually closed them once more.

He waved his hand as if unintentionally, turning around leisurely to leave the wolf yaos with nothing but his back.

He showed not the slightest intention of answering the middle-aged wolf yao.

"Filthy brat, you simply don't know what's good for you! To be so utterly rude, why don't you hurry down here, offer apologies and kowtow one hundred loud knocks to our Wolf General lord!"

"Hurry up and hand over the treasure! Once the lord verifies its authenticity, if he's satisfied, he might still spare your dog's life!"

"Brat, you truly know nothing of current affairs! Could it be you're tired of cultivating the Dao?! The lord can grant you a death!"

"Wolf General lord, don't waste any more breath on him! He is merely a puny creature at the early Taiyi Mystic Immortal realm, vulnerable to a single blow. Just kill him outright."

"Kill him!"

"Right! Make his body perish and his Dao disappear!"

"Beat him to death! Let him see how arrogant he dares to be!"

[...]

Seeing that Lin Yunji not only showed no fear whatsoever, but even directly ignored them, the wolf yaos grew angrier the more they thought about it, and started shouting abuses directly.

They even intended to commit murder for treasure, seize his belongings, and cut short his cultivation path.

"Enough!"

Just as the crowd of wolf yaos were eager to try and on the verge of starting a ferocious fight, the middle-aged wolf yao let out a loud shout, halting everyone's din.

He glared at Lin Yunji's back, his eyes narrowing slightly, a flash of keen insight sweeping past his slit-like long eyes.

"Little friend, I am a Wolf General under Lord Qijing, and I have led a pack of wolf yaos here with utmost sincerity. Hearing of those twenty-four Divine Pearls, Lord Qijing became quite interested. Upon learning that the pearls actually belonged to Little Friend, after much deliberation, he still sent us to ask a question: might Little Friend be willing to part with what is dear and present those pearls to Lord Qijing as a token to forge a good affinity?

"If you win Lord Qijing's favor, it will surely bring you no small benefits as well. What are Little Friend's intentions?"

The Lord Qijing mentioned by the middle-aged wolf demon was indeed a great demon who had been cultivating in seclusion around Kunlun Mountain for tens of thousands of years.

Not only had he reached the Late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, but countless demons under his command also vied to outshine one another. Other great demons in the region had joined his ranks as well, calling him their king.

Seeing Lin Yunji's extraordinary bearing, the middle-aged wolf demon had taken a liking to his talent. He had planned that if Lin Yunji offered up his treasures of his own accord, he would introduce him to the Lord and extend an olive branch, bringing him into their fold.

"Rustle!"

A rustling of clothes sounded. Lin Yunji finally sat up from the stone surface, his eyes bleary with sleep and tears glistening in them. He looked over at the middle-aged wolf demon, yawned, and mumbled indistinctly, "Huh? Do you know what it's like to be grumpy when you're woken up?"

The middle-aged wolf demon stared blankly, not understanding. "What did you say?"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz, buzz!"

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

Suddenly, twenty-four beams of golden light shot from the center of Lin Yunji's brow, hurtling straight toward the sky.

Looking closely, those twenty-four beams of golden light were none other than the Twenty-Four Divine Pearls.

The pearls hovered in midair, linked end to end in a circle. Each radiated immortal rosy light and divine brilliance, their luster dazzling and precious light swirling around them.

Seeing Lin Yunji directly bring out his treasure, the middle-aged wolf demon flew into a rage. He glared furiously and shouted, "Halt! You actually dare disregard Lord Qijing's goodwill! It seems you're determined to oppose us! Then I can't let you live..."

"Buzz!"

Before he could finish speaking, the twenty-four pearls suddenly blazed with immortal light, firing countless streaks of cold radiance. Before the demons could react, they vanished in an instant.

On the empty ground where dozens of demons had stood, only a field of starlight rippled, fine and scattered. The mountain wind blew, and in a flash, it dispersed, vanishing into nothingness.

Even the leading wolf demon, who had been at the late stage of the Taiyi Mystic Immortal realm, had disappeared without a trace.

The spectacle had been immense, yet not a single person had been able to fight back.

Dozens of wolf demons had all been wiped out in the blink of an eye.

"Utterly noisy!"

Lin Yunji recalled the pearls, yawned again, and mumbled indistinctly.

He leaned to one side, apparently intending to lie down and catch a little more sleep.

As for Qijing, who was honored as a lord, Lin Yunji had already tossed him out of his mind.

[Beep! The system has detected that the host has completed a random quest-eliminate the wolf demon general. Completion: perfect. Obtained 10,000 cultivation points!]

[Beep! The system has detected that the host possesses enough cultivation points to break through the current realm limit. Breaking through automatically...]

The sudden system notification startled Lin Yunji into sitting bolt upright.

Before he could react, his body was already enveloped by a surging flood of Spiritual Qi.

Innate Spiritual Qi, vast as the sea, poured into him wildly. The heavens and earth seemed to churn, forming a Spiritual Qi vortex with Lin Yunji at its center.

As Spiritual Power gathered furiously around him, his aura soared rapidly.

Mid-stage Taiyi Mystic Immortal!

Late-stage Taiyi Mystic Immortal!!

Great Perfection of the Taiyi Mystic Immortal realm!!!

It still seemed not quite enough-

By the time the vortex slowly dissipated, Lin Yunji had actually entered the Early-stage Golden Immortal realm!

"???"

Lin Yunji's head was full of question marks. After a long moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn you, system! You really did a number on me!"
