Celebrated Too Soon!

Inside the Lunar Divine Hall.

The sisters Xihe and Changxi, Lady Nüwa, and Lin Yunji all sat upright with their legs crossed.

"Sister Changxi, what dance were you performing just now? From afar, you looked like delicate willows swaying in the breeze, so light and graceful, as though you might ride the wind and fly away at any moment!"

Lady Nüwa had just seen them dancing on the wind beneath the Divine Laurel Tree. Their graceful movements had greatly interested her, and she could not help asking with enthusiasm.

"That dance... we made it up ourselves... hehe..."

Hearing Lady Nüwa's unstinting praise, Changxi was delighted. Smiling, she looked at Nüwa and said, "Sister Nüwa, do you like it? If you do, my sister and I can teach you!"

Nüwa was quite tempted when she heard she could learn it. Though her beautiful eyes revealed what she was thinking, she did not hurry to answer. Instead, she turned to Lin Yunji, who sat silently to one side, and asked with a smile, "Little Jade Bamboo, do you like that dance?"

"It was wonderful!" Lin Yunji nodded. Xihe and Changxi were truly captivating when they performed it.

He could not help recalling the scene from earlier, so he said, "Xihe and Changxi dancing together were already peerless. If you joined them, that dance would surely charm every living being in the world!"

Lin Yunji was exaggerating somewhat, and Lady Nüwa naturally heard it. She pursed her lips and smiled. "You certainly have a sweet tongue!"

She then rose, bowed to the sisters Xihe and Changxi, and said, "Then sorry to trouble you both!"

Xihe and Changxi hurried to their feet as well. After returning the bow, they could not help looking at each other, each seeing surprise in the other's eyes.

They understood each other without a word. Lady Nüwa actually wanted to learn the dance so she could perform it for Lin Yunji?

They understood this clearly, but said nothing more about it. Instead, they grew more friendly with Lady Nüwa. After all, the Lunar Divine Hall had been quiet for a long time, and it was good to have some liveliness now.

So Lady Nüwa followed Xihe and Changxi to the Divine Laurel Tree outside the Lunar Divine Hall to learn the dance.

Only Lin Yunji remained inside the Lunar Divine Hall!

"Hahahahaha, here I come, Heavenly Scar Fragments!" Lin Yunji raised his head and saw three diamond-shaped crystals floating in midair. With a sweep of his hand, he collected the three Heavenly Scar Fragments in his storage space.

"Master, bless me. Martial uncle, bless me. Lady Nüwa, bless me. Please don't let this trash system reward me with too many Cultivation Points!" His lips moved as he muttered incessantly.

"I don't want to break through to the Quasi-Sage realm that quickly at all!"

[Beep! The system has detected that the host has collected one Heavenly Scar Fragment. System reward: Cultivation Points x30000!]

Suddenly, the familiar notification sounded in Lin Yunji's mind.

Three thousand Cultivation Points?

Lin Yunji suspected something was wrong with his brain, or perhaps his ears were not working very well!

Three thousand?

It really was only three thousand!

This was wonderful. After all, Lin Yunji had obtained three Heavenly Scar Fragments in one go this time.

By that count, each Heavenly Scar Fragment had awarded barely a thousand Cultivation Points!

Lin Yunji was stunned and took a long time to come to his senses.

"Hahahahaha!" Lin Yunji burst out laughing, his laughter full of excitement and exhilaration.

"Heaven has finally opened its eyes! The trash system has finally stopped being trash! For once in its life, it only gave me three thousand Cultivation Points! Lady Nüwa, Master, and the others really came through!"

"Hahahahaha, if only it would reward me with this little whenever I get another Heavenly Scar Fragment!"

"If that were the case, never mind the forty-odd Heavenly Scar Fragments left-even if you added another hundred, I wouldn't be afraid!"

"My heart is greatly comforted!"

For a while, Lin Yunji could not stop grinning. It could be said that this was the most satisfied he had ever been with the system's actions since obtaining it.

If the other living beings of the Primordial World learned that Lin Yunji was so excited and exhilarated because he had received a smaller reward and failed to break through in one fell swoop, who knew what they would think?

They would probably only sigh that Lin Yunji truly was Lin Yunji: his actions and thoughts were anything but mainstream!

"Today is a good day, everything I wish for will come true, tomorrow will be another good day..."

Delighted after pocketing the Heavenly Scar Fragments, Lin Yunji strode toward the hall's exit with his head held high, humming a cheerful tune.

Before long, he stood at the entrance to the great hall.

Looking ahead, he saw Lady Nüwa, Xihe, and Changxi dancing gracefully beneath the Divine Laurel Tree.

Lady Nüwa asked for guidance from time to time, her expression earnest. After repeatedly checking, she showed the sisters the movements she had learned.

Gusts of gentle wind swept through the Divine Laurel Tree's branches, making a lovely rustling sound, then brushed over the women's rainbow-colored robes, lifting their skirts in graceful arcs. The three looked like goddesses who had stepped out of a painting.

Seeing such a beautiful sight, Lin Yunji felt even more at ease.

True fairies really are extraordinary. Every frown and smile, every gesture and movement-not a single flaw! Lin Yunji nodded slightly, unable to help praising them in his heart.

[Beep! The system has detected that the host has completed the random mission-Praise the Goddesses-with a perfect completion rating. Reward: Cultivation Points x2000000!]

[Beep! The system has detected that the host has obtained 2000000 Cultivation Points. The secret art "Heaven and Earth Furnace Cauldron" will automatically extract fifty percent, or Cultivation Points x1000000. The host's current Cultivation Points: x1000000!]

[Beep! The system has detected that the host's Cultivation Points exceed the upper limit of his current realm. Automatically breaking through...]

At that moment, a series of system notifications rang out in Lin Yunji's mind.

After hearing the contents of the three notifications, how could Lin Yunji spare any attention for anything else? His eyes widened, and he froze on the spot.

In his heart, he dragged that trash system out and cursed it several more times.

"It's really screwed me over! How could it just reward me with two million Cultivation Points!?"

And he had just been praising the system for being considerate for once!

Hadn't he merely praised Xihe, Changxi, and Nüwa in passing? Did it have to overreact like this?

"Fuckity fuck fuck fuck!"

Lin Yunji cursed with righteous indignation!

Unfortunately, before he had finished cursing the system in his heart, he was forced to stop.

Innate Spiritual Qi was already surging toward him, blotting out heaven and earth, and he involuntarily fell into that profound state once more.

For a time, his mind's perception of the Dao of heaven and earth grew ever clearer, as though he could see straight through their outward form and reach their very source!

His connection to heaven and earth seemed to shorten to the utmost in an instant. The sensation was profoundly wondrous.

Lin Yunji seemed to turn into a vortex of Spiritual Qi, drawing in all the Innate Spiritual Qi from an area spanning countless billions of li.

The Law Power in his body was increasing madly at an inconceivable speed as the Spiritual Qi increased. His presence soared, reaching the peak of the Late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and continued to build.

The three flowers above Lin Yunji's head slowly revolved, giving off a faint radiance. They had clearly grown more solid!

The commotion naturally drew the attention of the sisters Xihe and Changxi and Lady Nüwa. They could not help stopping their dance and looking over.

"What?"

"Little Jade Bamboo, he... he's actually about to break through again!"

Lady Nüwa blinked, finding it somewhat hard to believe. Surprise flashed across her face, but then she smiled again.
