Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal

The icy mechanical voice resounded throughout the Celestial Court World.

[Celestial Court Announcement: Detected Celestial Court Master Wang Teng, combat power has exceeded fifteen thousand points!]

[Celestial Court Announcement: Detected Celestial Court Master Wang Teng, has obtained the "Celestial War God" title!]

[Celestial Court Announcement: Detected Celestial Court has been elevated to a Level 2 World!]

[Celestial Court Announcement: Detected number of Celestial Court members of level 10 and above has reached over 300 people!]

[Celestial Court Announcement: Celestial Court has met all conditions, as the first qualified world dungeon, Celestial Court will automatically activate the S-Level Public Bounty— Divine Realm Evolution!]

"Boom~!"

The announcement shocked everyone!

Heavens~!

S-Level Public Bounty!

Did they hear it right!

Wang Teng was also completely stunned.

At this moment, a cold mechanical voice came again with a prompt.

[Prompt: This bounty is divided into five stages, the difficulty will gradually increase, and the rewards will also be greatly enhanced.]

[Prompt: First stage of the S-Level bounty, the difficulty is comparable to a normal D-level bounty; the second stage, difficulty comparable to C-level bounty; third stage, difficulty as B-level bounty; fourth stage, difficulty comparable to A-level bounty; fifth stage directly reaches S level, comprehensive assessment is S level.]

[Prompt: With this S-Level bounty, failure to complete any stage will result in the deduction of all previous stage rewards!]

[Prompt: Go to the Bounty Hall in the Ancient Divine Hall, submit the Tongbei Ape relic— Mysterious Eye, to activate the first stage bounty.]

[Prompt: S-Level bounty, first stage reward: Celestial Court World (including Angel Tribe) member limit will rise to ten times that of equal level world dungeon, along with other mysterious rewards.]

As soon as this news was released, the chat channel exploded!

"Heavens~! Our Celestial Court has activated an S-Level bounty!"

"Did we hear correctly~? An S-Level Public Bounty~! Can't even imagine!"

"This S-Level bounty is too remarkable!"

"Indeed~! Previously, the D-level Future Realm Master bounty was already very difficult. He is the Dragon World dungeon's leaderboard champion Pu Xijing, and for it, broke his arms and legs. S-Level bounty, the difficulty might be hundreds of times higher!"

"Indeed~! Hundreds of times the difficulty, can we complete it?"

"Earlier, the bounty prompt clearly stated, it's divided into five stages, the first stage is D-level difficulty, as long as boss Wang Teng steps in, it will surely be completed."

"Indeed~! However, this bounty has a hidden danger, which is that each stage must be completed one by one. If any stage fails, all previous rewards will be deducted, and all previous efforts will be wasted."

"Indeed~! The first two stages are manageable, the latter three stages, difficulty increases from B-level all the way to S-level, each more terrifying than the last!"

"Things will work out when the time comes! Now is not the time to think about these. Didn't you notice, the bounty prompt mentions that as long as the first stage bounty is completed, our Celestial Court's member limit can be raised to ten times of same-level existence, this is what we need most now!"

"That's right~! Our Celestial Court's member limit is 5000, increasing by ten times, isn't that fifty thousand?"

"Fifty thousand! Then we can recruit all our major region, all Hua Country compatriots!"

"Haha~! Indeed~ This is just what we need, all Hua Country compatriots are saved, our relatives are saved!"

"Indeed~! So thrilled! This is truly exciting news!"

"Hope boss Wang Teng can activate the first stage bounty soon!"

"No need to rush, boss Wang Teng hopes to complete this bounty more than anyone else!"

"That's right~! We'll just wait for boss Wang Teng to activate the bounty!"

"Looking forward~! S-Level bounty, wonder what rewards we'll get after completing the final step?"

"S-Level bounty~! Divine Realm Evolution, rewards must be unimaginably generous!"

"Folks~! How far do you think boss Wang Teng can go?"

"I reckon he can at least reach stage three, B-level difficulty!"

"Sir in front, you're underestimating boss Wang Teng too much, didn't you see the prompt, boss's combat power has surpassed fifteen thousand points!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted again.

"Heavens heavens~! It's true!"

"Wow~! Fifteen thousand combat power, my current power is only 1800 points, just one-eighth of boss Wang Teng's!"

"Boss Wang Teng is just too awesome~!"

At this moment, everyone was extremely shocked.

Seeing this, Wang Teng withdrew from the light curtain.

At this moment, he was also very excited.

S-Level bounty!

This is absolutely a rare bounty.

Once completed, the benefits are endless.

Activation itself is a demonstration of strength and luck.

The more Wang Teng thought about it, the more excited he became.

He has done three bounties, two D-level, one C-level, all received super generous rewards.

Hence, the rewards of the S-Level bounty will be unimaginable.

As for how far he can go, it's up to fate, complete it first then talk.

It seems he should reach the Ancient Divine Hall sooner to start the first stage bounty.

Speaking of which, the relic of the Long-armed Ape he picked up casually— the Mysterious Eye, unexpectedly has such a great use.

It's the mysterious item to activate the first stage of the S-Level bounty.

He reckons, if he didn't have the Mysterious Eye, facing this S-Level bounty, he would simply stare blankly.

Thankfully, he took a glance, saw it was a mysterious item, and put away the inconspicuous broken stone.

By the way, currently, Celestial Court World needs 30 Level 3 Homes to upgrade to Level 3 Home.

To upgrade to Level 3 Home, the hardest to obtain is the Beiming Crystal Stone.

Thinking of this, he promptly donated 100 Beiming Crystal Stones to the Gui Cang Divine Pavilion and received 5000 contribution points.

This series of operations naturally brought cheers to the Celestial Court World.

Everyone was exceedingly joyful.

With the Beiming Crystal Stone, the problem of upgrading to a Level 3 Home was solved.

Currently, the greatest difficulty in elevating the Celestial Court is the number of members.

The solution to this problem is the Ancient Divine Hall.

Wang Teng's journey to the Ancient Divine Hall is urgent.

Thinking about this, he set off again, rushing to the Ancient Divine Hall.

In less than a quarter of an hour, he arrived at the Mysterious Grand Canyon.

Passing through the Mysterious Grand Canyon, one reaches Heaven-Reaching Lake.

The Ancient Divine Hall is situated on the shore of Heaven-Reaching Lake.

At this moment, as Wang Teng just entered the Mysterious Grand Canyon, he saw astounding scenes...

Ahead lay a desolate manor, with broken walls and ruins everywhere, exuding a sense of desolation.

Looking again at the manor, there were many tall houses, but all were tottering and dilapidated.

From the layout of those houses, they turned out to be Level 2 and Level 3 Home buildings, among which were also Level 4 Homes, and even a few Level 5 Homes.

This left Wang Teng amazed.

He hurriedly walked towards the manor ahead.

As soon as he stepped into the manor, he smelled a faint musty odor.

It was the smell of decaying wood mixed with dust, enhancing the desolation of the manor.

Just then, a familiar mechanical sound gave a prompt.

[Prompt: You have entered the territory of Moon Exploration Town.]

Hmm?!

Moon Exploration Town!

So this was once a town!

Wang Teng looked around.

This should be an ancient town established a thousand years ago.

After all, the War of Ten Thousand Realms occurs once every thousand years.

A thousand years ago, another group of humans descended upon this Great World and fought one another.

But a thousand years have passed, a world instance was destroyed, leaving a dilapidated small town, likely lost in conflict.

Right, this is a leftover ancient town from a world instance, could there be any treasure?!

Wang Teng's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped into the ancient town, searching around.

Soon, he reached beside a Level 5 Home.

This Level 5 Home was a three-story wooden building, very imposing.

However, this wooden building had long been rotten, with the door broken, only half remaining.

"Creak creak~!"

The wooden door opened.

Wang Teng walked in and immediately saw some tables and chairs, covered in dust.

He held his breath and searched forward.

Soon, he discovered traces of termite gnawing on the tables, chairs, wooden beams, and even the walls inside the house.

As a result, those woods, refined wood, were all wasted and could not be dismantled for use.

Wang Teng made a round inside the house and found nothing.

He had to resort to finding something that could be dismantled.

After some effort, he did manage to dismantle a few units of refined iron ore, which gave him slight comfort.

Finally, there was some gain.

Moreover, refined iron ore was just one of the materials he needed most.

His Level 4 Home still had no prospects!

To acquire refined iron ore, he had to learn the Swordsmith or Armor Maker skills first, which might require some time.

Now, he didn't have time to deal with those things, so he postponed the matter of refined iron ore.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, he encountered a leftover ancient town, with refined iron ore available inside.

This saved him quite a bit of time.

With this in mind, Wang Teng was invigorated and began dismantling refined iron ore in the ancient town.

Unknowingly, he dismantled until the town center, just enough to gather 10 units of refined iron ore.

Wang Teng was exceedingly satisfied, stopped dismantling, and prepared to leave.

Because, during the dismantling of refined iron ore, he always felt something eerie about this Moon Exploration Town, but couldn't pinpoint what it was.

He constantly felt a chill behind him, as if many eyes were watching him, yet he was the only one in this ancient town.

However, he didn't have much time to explore further.

After storing the refined iron ore, he prepared to leave.

"Hmm? What is this..."

At this moment, Wang Teng seemed to sense something, looked up in a certain direction of Moon Exploration Town.

Moon Exploration Town wasn't too big or small, covering several dozen miles.

At this moment, from that direction, a faint breathing sound came.

The sound was very faint, but Wang Teng, possessing the Unity of Heaven and Man sensory talent, had incredibly sharp hearing.

His heart stirred, and he quietly crept in that direction...
