The System Gave Him 500,000 Cultivation Points!

In the distance, a graceful figure sped across countless mountain ranges.

In mere moments, she landed in front of the Witch Clan warriors, standing opposite Lin Yunji.

Lin Yunji looked over and saw a gorgeous woman standing there, and his eyes lit up.

She had a fair face, full cheeks, and a pair of tender, lingering eyes that shimmered like rippling water. Her skin was like congealed cream, and her long, curly hair cascaded down from the back of her head, lending her a languid, carefree air.

If Lady Nüwa's beauty was sacred and inviolable, then this woman's was like that of a big sister from next door; just seeing her made one feel at ease.

"Little friend Lin Yunji, please show mercy!"

Having landed opposite him, the woman smiled faintly at Lin Yunji and repeated what she had just said.

She had spoken so urgently before that Lin Yunji had not listened closely. Now that he could match her gentle, graceful voice to her face, it sounded even lovelier, like a frozen river breaking open and a spring breeze brushing his face.

To be precise!

The newcomer was none other than Ancestral Witch Houtu, one of the Witch Clan's twelve ancestral witches!

She controlled the order of earth.

Though she was a goddess, her combat strength was exceptionally formidable, comparable to an Early-stage Quasi-Sage!

She was also one of the three thousand listeners at the Purple Treasure Firmament Hall, so she had naturally seen Lin Yunji before and knew his name.

Although she had never had any dealings with him, she had met him twice.

"Clamor-"

The Witch Clan warriors, who had still been preparing for battle, all changed countenance upon hearing Lady Houtu's words. They immediately began to speculate, their voices growing louder and louder.

"How is this possible? Ancestral Witch Houtu actually knows him!"

"He actually knows Ancestral Witch Houtu! Luckily, we didn't fight him just now. Otherwise, our lives would have been in danger..."

"No wonder he's so powerful! Ancestral Witch Houtu actually knows his name and even calls him 'little friend'!"

"Who on earth is he? Lin Yunji... that name... there's no famous person by that name in the Primordial World..."

"..."

The Witch Clan warriors had seen with their own eyes that their Ancestral Witch Houtu actually knew Lin Yunji. They were stunned and found it hard to believe!

What was more, they began to wonder just what sort of being he was, to make Ancestral Witch Houtu plead for mercy!

They could not help feeling relieved. If Ancestral Witch Houtu had not stopped them in time, might they have offended such an extraordinary being on the Witch Clan's behalf?

"Whoosh!"

Just as Ancestral Witch Houtu appeared, another graceful figure drifted over from afar. Dao resonance swirled around her, and a pressure surpassing that of an Early-stage Quasi-Sage radiated from her, enveloping an area spanning more than a hundred million li.

When the Witch and Demon warriors felt that pressure, their expressions changed drastically. Unlike when they faced Lin Yunji, they were not merely terrified; they had lost even the strength to resist, and could think only of submitting.

Before such an expert, they were less than ants. How could they even speak of resisting?

The figure floated over and landed lightly in front of Lin Yunji, coming to a stop facing Ancestral Witch Houtu!

It looked as though she meant to protect Lin Yunji behind her.

This figure was Lady Nüwa.

She had originally seen Lin Yunji appear on the battlefield where the beings of the two races were fighting and had no intention of intervening. She had even been quite interested in what Lin Yunji planned to do, but just as he and the Witch and Demon warriors were about to fight, Ancestral Witch Houtu had appeared.

Afraid that Ancestral Witch Houtu might harm Lin Yunji, she stopped concealing herself and appeared directly in front of him to protect him.

"Greetings, Lady Nüwa!" Upon seeing Lady Nüwa, Ancestral Witch Houtu could not help giving a slight nod and greeting her with a smile. Her tone was mild, her voice as gentle as ever, without the slightest trace of hostility.

Houtu naturally knew Nüwa.

Although she knew Nüwa was a member of the Demon Race, Nüwa was not one of Dijun and Taiyi's subordinates, nor did she have any grudge against the Witch or Demon races.

"Ancestral Witch Houtu." Lady Nüwa returned the greeting and looked at her calmly before saying, "I don't care about anything else, but I won't let anyone bully him."

Houtu was taken aback by Lady Nüwa's words and instinctively glanced at Lin Yunji. Then she understood, and could not help bursting into laughter.

Her gaze kept moving back and forth between Lady Nüwa and Lin Yunji, looking at the two of them several times, as though she wanted to discover something about them. Yet she also seemed to have found something, and her smile grew meaningful.

Her gaze made Lady Nüwa raise an eyebrow.

Seeing displeasure gradually appear on Nüwa's face, Houtu hurriedly explained, "Lady Nüwa, there's no need to worry. I wasn't planning to fight little friend Lin Yunji just now. I was only begging him to show mercy and spare my ignorant people!"

"Little Jade Bamboo, what do you think?" Lady Nüwa heard how earnestly she spoke but paid her no heed. Instead, she turned to Lin Yunji and asked slowly, "Is she telling the truth?"

Houtu understood perfectly what she meant.

No matter what Lin Yunji intended to do, even if he wanted to fight the Witch Clan warriors now, she would stand in front of him and shield him from Houtu's attack.

At that moment, Lin Yunji chuckled softly. "Since Lady Houtu has spoken, and I'm not an unreasonable person, besides, I have no quarrel or grudge with Lady Houtu's Witch Clan people, I naturally won't make things difficult for them!"

"Swoosh!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yunji moved again, landing in front of the three-colored divine spring.

With a wave of his hand, he put away the diamond-shaped fragment radiating light from within the divine spring. Then he took the special container Cult Master Tongtian had given him from his storage space and collected every last drop of the three-colored divine spring.

The little bottle was quite beautiful. Lady Nüwa was still admiring it when she saw Lin Yunji extend the hand holding the pretty little bottle toward her.

"Lady Nüwa, this is the little gift I said I'd give you just now!" Lin Yunji said.

Seeing Lady Nüwa's somewhat startled expression, Lin Yunji feared she would refuse and hurriedly said, "Lady Nüwa, please accept it for now. You never know, this divine spring might be of use to you someday! After all, it's better to be prepared than caught unawares!"

Lin Yunji's thinking was simple: he had discovered the three-colored divine spring because he was traveling the Primordial Wilderness with Lady Nüwa, and it was also because of Lady Nüwa that he had found this Heavenly Scar Fragment in the spring!

With that in mind, giving Nüwa the profoundly wondrous three-colored divine spring was what he wanted to do, and what he ought to do!

"Thank you, Little Jade Bamboo!"

Looking at the three-colored divine spring Lin Yunji offered her, Lady Nüwa's gaze softened. She shed the aloof image of a holy maiden she had worn moments ago, her eyes shimmering as she lowered her voice and spoke to Lin Yunji.

This display left Lady Houtu staring in a daze.

She could be like this too!

Just moments ago, Nüwa had stood in front of Lin Yunji with an indifferent expression, like an utterly pure holy maiden from the ninth heaven, sacred and inviolable.

Yet when this same Lady Nüwa received Lin Yunji's gift, she immediately showed such an expression?

"The Three Pure Ones' most beloved youngest disciple!"

"When he arrived at the Purple Treasure Firmament Hall, he avoided the lotus seats as though he couldn't get far enough away, and later fell asleep while Teacher Hongjun was preaching!"

"Twice in a row, he broke through in front of the Purple Treasure Firmament Hall!"

"He can even make Lady Nüwa value him so highly and openly declare that she'll protect him!"

"Just who in the world is this Lin Yunji?"

At that moment, Houtu could not help thinking of many things.

She fixed her gaze on Lin Yunji, her curiosity about him reaching its peak.

As for Lin Yunji, he truly had no time to pay her any attention.

For just after he had handed Lady Nüwa the little bottle containing the divine spring, a notification had sounded in his ear!

[Beep! The system has detected that the host collected one Heavenly Scar Fragment. System reward received: Cultivation Points x500000!]

Why was the system delayed too?!

Lin Yunji felt like crying, but no tears came!

When he had collected the Heavenly Scar Fragment just now and seen no response from the system, he had felt a little relieved. As it turned out, the system had merely been holding its breath, waiting to unleash a big move and infuriate its host to death!

This time, it had really spared no expense, rewarding him with a full 500,000 Cultivation Points!

Five hundred thousand!!!

"Are you fucking kidding me!!!!!!!!"

Lin Yunji was dying to curse aloud, but the system gave him no chance, because the next notification followed immediately-

[Beep! The system has detected that the host has enough Cultivation Points. Breaking through to the next realm...]

The system did not answer his question.

Of course!

One could also say that this notification was the best answer!
