In the sky, Ye Sui’an was manning a leaf boat on his way to “Turtle’s Longevity” within Qingling City.

As one of the future world protagonists and one of the main characters of the Heavenly Dust Continent, Ye Sui’an naturally carries a protagonist’s aura.

He flew aimlessly all the way, even got lost in the middle, but then stumbled upon some adventures during the process of losing his path.

He obtained two pieces of superior blue equipment and a purple level body method, and made some insights into cultivation, almost unable to suppress his own cultivation base.

He was already used to these sudden adventures.

Each time he descended the mountain, he would experience them once or twice; each time he’d have close calls, but he’d always end up gaining a lot.

——he was used to it.

From the talent perspective, his enlightenment was 9, and his swordsmanship aptitude was 9.

Yet, one of the world’s protagonists, Lin Chan, had an enlightenment of 9, and a swordsmanship aptitude of 10.

It seems that Lin Chan had the upper hand.

But that’s not the case, Lin Chan was not as blessed as him.

At least according to the usual plot, that was definitely the case.

Ye Sui’an might conceal an unusual “luck value” and could be a Destiny Emperor!

So, “after several twists and turns”, Ye Sui’an finally arrived at Qingling City.

After entering the city, he quickly came to the dry well and jumped in eagerly.

He couldn’t wait any longer! He was eager to experience what Elder Lu had experienced!

As a renowned trial ground, the entry fee for “Turtle’s Longevity” of the Demon Sect was not cheap.

And because the righteous sects are different from the demon sect, righteous cultivators can’t enter without… paying extra!

When Ye Sui’an took out the spirit stones, there was no hesitation on his face.

As a world protagonist, he had often received adventures, occasionally obtained storage rings, having them filled with spirit stones was nothing strange.

Moreover, he was the only heir of Sword Mountain today, and he gets a double monthly allowance from One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain!

Ye Sui’an, the young master of Sword Mountain, simply doesn’t lack money!

Within “Turtle’s Longevity”, the disciples of the Demon Sect watched Ye Sui’an in his green shirt walk towards the door. After he disappeared into the trial ground, they started discussing.

“Did he write ‘Ye Sui’an of Sword Mountain’ when he registered just now?”

“Is this the Ye Sui’an who lost to the young elder?”

“He’s quite good-looking, only slightly less than Young Elder, truly deserving the title of the West State’s most handsome man.”

“Do you think he came to ‘Turtle’s Longevity’, because he couldn’t accept his defeat?”

“Very likely, maybe he wants to surpass the young elder in the trial ground’s ranking.”

“But the young elder entered the trial ground before reaching the initial realm, even if Ye Sui’an wins… even if he wins by fluke, what does it mean?”

“Exactly! Despicable!”

“Yes! Bah! Despicable!”

As the disciples were discussing, a gust of eerie wind blew, and the extremely ugly guardian Elder E came over.

The disciples saw that Elder E has arrived and quickly bowed to him.

A few disciples who had been stationed at “Turtle’s Longevity” for a long time and were familiar with Elder E, squeezed out bright smiles and said:

“Elder E, do you think this Ye Sui’an… can surpass the young elder?”

Elder E squinted and looked towards the direction of the trial ground’s gate: “Hard to say. The young kid performed too well here, Ye Sui’an might not be able to win.”

After all, “Turtle’s Longevity” adjusts the difficulty level according to the cultivation base, coupled with the specialness of Lu Xun’s “Non-Swordbearer”, it’s really hard to predict.

As the time passed by, Ye Sui’an had used up his three trials.

Elder E smiled and said in his hoarse voice: “Ye Sui’an of Sword Mountain, has completed the trials, he ranks second, tied!”

The wooden card with Ye Sui’an’s name was hung on the high wall, arranged alongside Lu Xun’s name.

Even though they’re tied, anyone with brains could see that our Young Elder was still superior!

The Young Elder had completed the trials months ago, his cultivation base must have now improved even more.

The onlooking disciples began to discuss again.

“I bet Ye Sui’an will look quite upset when he comes out.”

“Of course! Being defeated twice in a row by our Young Elder, the shame must be unbearable!”

“Hey! He’s out, he’s out!”

However, much to the disciples’ surprise, Ye Sui’an’s expression was not one of distress. On the contrary, he looked… satisfied?

He approached the high wall, gazing at the wooden boards placed side by side with his and Lu Xun’s names, his face filled with longing.

The memory of that moment from the Demon Sect’s Receiving Peak emerged in his mind – when Lu Xun gently touched the center of his brows, and said in a gentle voice: “That’ll be all.”

“Standing side by side with Elder Lu this time, I, Ye Sui’an, am unworthy.”

“Still, I’m looking forward to it. I hope there will come a day like this,” Ye Sui’an thought.

Thinking like this, his state of mind was remarkably stable, showing no signs of frustration.

“Next, it’s time to head to the Ghost’s Grief on Boundless Mountain. Although Elder Lu has never been there, this trial ground will be beneficial to me,” Ye Sui’an embarked on his new journey.

As the Disciples of the Demon Sect watched Ye Sui’an, the renowned genius sword cultivator leave with satisfaction, they were left at a loss.

“Ho…How is this possible? How can Ye Sui’an be so composed?”

“What are you thinking? He was clearly subdued by the Young Elder!”

“Yes, he was totally convinced!”

“Shall we report this to the Sect?”

“Of course we should report it!”

“It’s almost our shift rotation. Once we’re back to the Sect, we will definitely tell the sisters about the Young Elder’s deeds, they love hearing about it.”

“Hahaha, good idea! I want to follow suit!”

The percentage of singles in the Demon Sect is high, incredibly high. From top to bottom, those eager to break free from singledom are by no means in the minority.

And so, the air began to fill with joy.

Days later, the paper cranes in the sky, and Lu Xun, along with others, were still on their way to Boundless Mountain.

Lu Xun was sitting in the middle of the paper crane, watching his Reputation Value increase every little while, he was puzzled.

“I haven’t done anything recently, why is my Reputation Value still increasing?”

“This is odd. I’m not in the Demon Sect. Is it possible that new legends about me are being created in the Sect?”

It’s a pity that the leaderboards are still in a testing phase, and have not officially launched. Once launched, he could use the leaderboard to find some information, and he might then be able to deduce why his Reputation Value had increased.

“But an increase in Reputation Value is definitely a good thing. I guess if I can make a name for myself in the Ghost’s Grief at Boundless Mountain, once my deeds are reported back to the Demon Sect, my Reputation Value should officially break ten thousand!” Lu Xun thought.

He wasn’t particularly concerned about these things right now, he was more interested in his precious disciple Lin Chan.

Lin Chan had suddenly achieved some sort of enlightenment and was about to give birth to her Sword Heart!

She was currently sitting with her eyes closed, in a state of silent cultivation and enlightenment, while Lu Xun and Mao Nanbei stood guard for her.

This all happened very suddenly, as if she had just had an epiphany, without any foreshadowing.

“It was just a flight in the sky. Could it be that for a real Natural Sword Embryo, taking in the blue sky and white clouds can lead to such enlightenment?” Lu Xun thought to himself.

“Compared to this, my previous breakthroughs seem a bit forced. I need to pay more attention to this in the future.”

“On the Acting Skills of a False Sword Embryo.”

Perhaps it was due to the effects of the Guide mission, Lu Xun, as the Grand Elder of the World Protagonist, Lin Chan, had a grasp of her current cultivation base.

If he wanted to, he could even see the steps Lin Chan has taken in the cultivation of her Sword Heart.

While he was deeply interested and observing closely, a sudden anomaly occurred in their surroundings!

The strangest thing was that Lu Xun was also feeling the effects!
