Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal

On the other side, above the plaza of the First Heaven.

Wang Teng had already reached the entrance of the divine hall.

The entrance was a gigantic light gate, towering dozens of zhang high, emitting a dazzling white light that obscured the conditions within the hall.

Wang Teng took a deep breath and stepped into the light gate.

"Buzz~!"

A clear sound resonated through the heavens and earth!

The golden passage token in his hand automatically lit up, then transformed into a golden light and surged into his body.

[Hint: The Divine Hall Passage Token (First Heaven) has taken effect. From now on, you can freely enter and exit the First Divine Hall without any hindrance from the Celestial Gate Guardian!]

With a whirl of heaven and earth, Wang Teng felt the sensation of riding a teleportation array.

Could it be that he was being transmitted?

Before Wang Teng could think further, he found himself firmly stepping on the ground, realizing he had arrived on a massive corridor.

The sides of the corridor were unknown Han marble walls, towering a thousand zhang high, engraved with dragons and phoenixes, along with groups of mystical creatures like the White Tiger and Vermilion Bird, exuding an extraordinary aura.

Wang Teng stood in the middle of the corridor, resembling an ant entering a vast hall, appearing extremely insignificant.

Looking back not far away, the exit was there, a gigantic light gate.

At this moment, a familiar mechanical voice echoed with a prompt.

[Celestial Court Announcement: Realm Master Wang Teng has entered the First Ancient Hall—Mid Heaven Divine Hall, becoming the first entrant of the First Major Region, rewarded with 50 points of Reputation Value.]

[Hint: Only the top three entrants of each major region into each divine hall can receive Reputation Value rewards.]

"Boom~!"

As soon as this announcement was released, the entire Celestial Court World was in an uproar.

In every corner of the world, people's cheers echoed.

The chat channel exploded instantly.

"Wow~! Boss Wang Teng has already entered the Ancient Divine Hall!"

"That's great! I've been waiting for this day for so long!"

"Yes! Boss Wang Teng entering the Ancient Divine Hall means the compatriots from Hua Country are finally saved!"

"If they knew that Boss Wang Teng was about to save them, they would be very excited indeed!"

"Haha~! Of course, they would be!"

"However, Boss Wang Teng entering the Ancient Divine Hall definitely means he will first take the Divine Realm Evolution bounty. The first stage of that bounty still rewards a member limit. If that bounty isn't completed, the member limit won't be enough, and Boss Wang Teng won't be able to save so many people!"

"Exactly~! I wonder when Boss Wang Teng will be able to take the bounty."

"It should be soon! We'll just focus on it and not disturb Boss Wang Teng!"

"Absolutely~!"

At this moment, all the members were both excited and nervous, silently watching Wang Teng's progress.

They were also worried that Wang Teng might encounter unexpected events in the divine hall.

Wang Teng was the cornerstone of the Celestial Court, and nothing could happen to him.

At the same time, inside the corridor of the divine hall.

Wang Teng heard the notification sound and couldn't help but feel a burst of delight.

He had gained another 50 points of Reputation Value.

With this, his Reputation Value surpassed a thousand.

Reputation Value is a valuable asset, the more accumulated, the better.

"Hehe~! Master, you're amazing! You're the first to step into Mid Heaven Divine Hall in our First Major Region!"

At that moment, Qian Lingxue's voice echoed in Wang Teng's ears.

The little girl's tone was filled with pride.

It seemed as though the honor Wang Teng received was shared with her.

Wang Teng smiled slightly and prepared to walk deeper into the corridor.

Suddenly, inspiration flashed across his mind.

Right, the mechanical voice just mentioned that the top three of the First Major Region to step into this hall would receive Reputation Value rewards.

But the notice didn't say that a Great Hall Passage Token was necessary to receive Reputation Value.

What if…

In an instant, Wang Teng had a bold idea.

He waved his hand casually.

Ahead, white light flickered, and Qian Lingxue appeared out of thin air.

The young girl was a bit confused upon appearing.

However, at this moment, the familiar mechanical voice echoed with a prompt.

[Celestial Court Announcement: Member Qian Lingxue has entered the First Ancient Hall—Mid Heaven Divine Hall, becoming the second entrant of the First Major Region, rewarded with 50 points of Reputation Value.]

"Boom~!"

This message once again shocked the entire Celestial Court.

In the corridor of the divine hall, Qian Lingxue was overjoyed.

"Master, I received a Reputation Value reward!"

Wang Teng smiled slightly: "Not bad! It turned out just as I thought. Let's not mention it; perhaps there are unknown dangers here, you should return to the Palm Buddha Country first!"

"Mm~!" Qian Lingxue responded obediently.

With that, Wang Teng returned Qian Lingxue to the Palm Buddha Country and continued forward.

Soon, he reached the end of the divine hall corridor.

A magnificent hall appeared before him.

[Hint: You have entered Mid Heaven Divine Hall, you may go to claim the bounty.]

[Hint: Fighting and killing are prohibited here!]

Prohibit fighting and killing?

Could there be other people here?

Wang Teng was taken aback.

At that moment, he sensed more than a dozen gazes, as substantial as reality, sweeping toward him.

He quickly looked up, discovering over a dozen people in the hall, all turning their gazes towards him.

These individuals, both men and women, young and old, all bore proud expressions, exuding an extraordinary aura.

Their appearances were somewhat distinct, with characteristics like elongated ears or blue-scaled skin, somewhat different from the humans of the Fertile Continent.

But most of them looked normal, with harmonious facial features, appearing pleasing to the eye.
