Chapter 450: 450, [Realm of Mystery]


    Inside the room, Lu Xun closed his eyes again, entering once more into that subtle state.


    He saw his Qi Sea.


    This was the second time Lu Xun had seen his Qi Sea since he began cultivating.


    —That unique, pitch-ck Qi Sea!


    His Qi Sea was vast and boundless, reaching the pinnacle of darkness.


    In the center of the Qi Sea, Lu Xun saw three strands of Qi intertwined, emitting a faint light.


    These were the Sword Fates of the three continents!


    A stream of purple-golden Qi had just formed, it rushed into Lu Xun’s body and immediately dived into the Qi Sea.


    “The Qi Sea is the most mysterious part of a cultivator’s body. It seems that Sword Fate actually resides in the Qi Sea,” Lu Xun thought to himself.


    Ordinary cultivators only get one chance in their lifetime to observe their Qi Sea, usually just after they’ve begun cultivating.


    In all the world, Lu Xun had only met one person who could freely observe their Qi Sea, or even inspect the Qi Sea of others—the Master!<div>


    “The Master admitted that he carries the ‘Knife Luck’ within him. Perhaps ‘Knife Luck’ is also stored in the Qi Sea. Maybe that’s why the Master can see the Qi Sea,” Lu Xun spected in his mind.


    After the Sword Fate of the Central Continentpletely integrated into his Qi Sea, Lu Xun’s eyes shot open!


    When he came to, he felt something soft beneath the back of his head, as though he was resting on something luxurious.


    Oh, it turned out to be a soft, firm thigh.


    Lu Xun was lying on the ground, resting his head on Ji Li’s thigh.


    From his current vision, he could only see half of Ji Li’s face as two objects obstructed his sight.


    No sooner had Ji Li noticed that Lu Xun was awake than she cried out in surprise, shifting her body slightly, causing Lu Xun looking at some spectacr scenery to feel somewhat dumbfounded.


    “Foul y!” Lu Xun murmured.


    “What are you saying, Lu Xun?” Ji Li asked, concerned.


    Lu Xun shook his head, “Nothing.”


    Because he was resting his head on her leg, his shaking head naturally caused friction.


    Ji Li felt an unusual sensation, causing her body to tense. Her two shoulders reflexively drew up and a blush spread across her innocent face.


    If Lin Chan hadn’t been there, Lu Xun might have continued teasing Ji Li and lingered even longer on her leg.


    However, given that his disciple was watching intently, he felt he should maintain his dignity as a master.


    He sat up cross-legged, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes to assess his current state.


    Lu Xun found that now, whenever he wanted, he could inspect his Qi Sea.


    But if he wanted to scan the Qi Sea of others, he still couldn’t do it.


    He had tested it on Ji Li and Lin Chan and it didn’t work.


    You can’t see the Qi Sea just because you want to.<div>


    From this, it was evident how unique the Master was!


    Afterpleting this experiment, Lu Xun checked out his current “Sword Fate buff”.


    As he expected, after attaining the Sword Fates of three continents, this buff effect had been enhanced!


    The overall improvement to his strength had increased from 30% to 50%!<div>


    “How terrifying!” Lu Xun thought.


    In the same realm, Lu Xun himself was an exceptional being. Even the World Protagonist Ye Sui’an was nothing more than a measure in front of him.


    The effect of this 50% increase in power under these circumstances was too frightening!


    He estimated that if they were in the same realm and he did not use the Sword Qi stored in his sword sheath, both Ye Sui’an and Xiao Ran, if they teamed up against him, would still have to be trampled under his feet!


    “To easily solo two World Protagonists with one’s strength, this is what real men should do!” A smile involuntarily appeared on Lu Xun’s face.


    He felt that only thebination of three World Protagonists, including Qi Luck’s son Jiang Nan’an, could exert pressure on him!


    The most terrifying part was that this enhancement applied to the Sword Qi stored in his sword sheath.


    When thousands of Sword Qi’s are all enhanced, the effect would be horrific!


    After checking his own bonuses, Lu Xun turned his attention to the area bonus.


    Previously, he could give nearby Sword Cultivators a 5% enhancement buff, now, this buff value has directly increased to 8%!


    “This is simply a buff tailored for a Leader ss NPC. If I was surrounded by a Sword Cultivating Army now, everyone would gain an 8% enhancement. The overallbat power would probably be off the charts!” Lu Xun was very pleased with this.


    After all, this buff enhances overall Sword Dao strength, it can even enhance high-end stuff like Sword Heart and Sword Intent!


    “This gift from my senior uncle is outrageous!” Lu Xun looked at the empty wooden box on the shelf with a thousand emotions in his heart. He really wanted to yell out: “Brothers, put our senior uncle’s generosity on public disy!”<div>


    If Lu Xun were a regr Sword Cultivator without a system cheat, having Sword Fate or not makes a huge difference!


    This is tantamount to forcefully increasing one’s future potential!


    Gifting the Sword Fate of a continent to someone, what a grand gesture is that!?


    “Senior Uncle is truly a worthy senior uncle!” Lu Xun eximed joyfully in his heart.


    After observing his current status, Lu Xun opened his eyes to find Ji Li and Lin Chan squatting in front of him, their beautiful eyes fixed on him without pause.


    “You two continue to browse through the ancient books, I’m going to meditate by myself for a while,” Lu Xun instructed.


    The two women obediently nodded and did as he said.


    Lu Xun opened the forum to have a look and found that his absorption of Sword Fate had indeed caused an abnormal phenomenon in nature.


    Sword cries broke the silence all over the Central Continent, and vortices of clouds even formed above the firmament.


    “Wow, these goofy yers are quite astute, they’ve all deducted that I was the cause of the phenomenon, even though nobody knows I’m in the Central Continent.” Lu Xun was growing more and more pleased with these cheerful goofs.


    This feeling, it’s like being unintentionally pretentious, but everybody took note.


    After closing the forum, Lu Xun closed his eyes and continued to explore his Qi Sea.


    The Qi Sea is the most mysterious part of a cultivator’s body, and now, perhaps only he and his master can directly view their Qi Sea.<div>


    Oh right, with my senior uncle’s great talent, he might be able to as well.


    Under the onught of the gift from his senior uncle, he had gained quite a lot of status in Lu Xun’s heart.


    And since the Qi Sea is the most mysterious ce, Lu Xun couldn’t help but want to explore it.


    A man always loves to check out the ces that are kept hidden.


    With a tranquil heart and mind, he began to observe his Qi Sea internally. It didn’t take him long to reach the endless ck Qi Sea and felt the pull from the three Sword Fates.


    He could feel that these three Sword Fates were quite close to him.


    He tried to use his Divine Sense here, but found that Divine Sense couldn’t spread in the Qi Sea.


    The Qi Sea is indeed special. Even Divine Sense is unable to probe it!


    “It’s said that the Qi Sea hides infinite mysteries and is the foundation of one’s cultivation. The more you won’t let me study it, the more I want to…” Lu Xun thought to himself.


    Since Divine Sense is ineffective against the Qi Sea, Lu Xun used Divine Sense, prepared to try the Sword Fate within the Qi Sea.


    However, the moment his Divine Sense touched the Sword Fate, Lu Xun found himself in a strangely mysterious realm.


    He felt his Divine Sense spreading outward, with his room as the center, continuously expanding.


    Soon, his Divine Sense reached the small courtyard outside the house.<div>


    The weird thing was, the scenes in his eyes were all rather blurry and abstract.


    For example, his Divine Sense perceived a teapot on the stone table outside the house. He knew it was a teapot, but the image he perceived was blurred and abstract, he couldn’t make out what it was.


    In simpler terms, he knew inside, but there was no form in sight.


    Lu Xun tried to keep expanding his Divine Sense outward and quickly it went beyond the courtyard to the outside of the Great Study Hall.


    Upon his Divine Sense just reaching outside the Great Study hall, he sensed the master standing at the door.


    He knew for sure that it was the master standing there, but the image that came into his sight was a surging stream of Qi!


    This stream of Qi was somewhat simr to the three-color Sword Fate Stream in Lu Xun’s Qi Sea, but the color was more diverse, the types were obviously more mixed, and overall they were more magnificent!


    There were at least dozens of them!


    They entwined and merged together, it couldn’t be described as a stream of Qi anymore, it was more like…


    ——A towering column of Qi shooting straight into the sky!
