Chapter 449: 449, 【Uncle’s Generosity】(Thanks to “Ai Ai” from the Silver League for the 1 million rewards!)
Lu Xun looked at the wooden box affixed with the [Divine Talisman], heard his master’s transmission, and was slightly stunned, “Is this for me?”

He grinned, cheering inwardly, “Uncle is so generous!”

Well, when he had entered the room, the tea poured from that magical teapot was already a hefty welcome gift.

You know, an elder meets his younger one and casually serves tea that directly aids the latter in breaking through. Such grandeur and prestige were indeed extraordinary.

Although there was a small accident halfway due to Lu Xun’s uniqueness, he considered it to be a wonderful surprise.

Visiting an elder’s home and enjoying the hospitality was only natural, right?

After all, I just drained the teapot dry.

This huge batch of Experience Points already gave Lu Xun a sense of worthwhile trip.

As for the wooden box before his eyes, it added to the feeling of an unexpected delight.

Most importantly, he had a strong urge to tear open the [Divine Talisman], which gave him a feeling that – perhaps what’s sealed inside is closely related to me?

So, what are you waiting for, just tear it!

Lu Xun quickly reached out, stretched his claw forcefully but the moment he touched the [Divine Talisman], he turned extremely careful, afraid of tearing it apart.

“This is a [Divine Talisman]. Even if it becomes invalid after it is torn, it’s still valuable as a collectible,” he thought to himself.

Actually, he wanted to copy the entirety of this [Divine Talisman] and then gift it to his third junior.

To others, a talisman might just be a collectible post invalid.

But for the third junior, it would hold an entirely different significance.

Zhuge Lai Fu has a profound understanding of talisman techniques, and this [Divine Talisman] could significantly aid him – perhaps making further progress!

The third junior has been generous towards Lu Xun, filling him with Spirit Stones without any hesitation, and never causing him to worry about money.

Even though he accepted it at ease, yelling “more, more” inwardly, during these moments, his first thought was to repay the third junior.

Therefore, Lu Xun was being extremely careful while tearing it apart, afraid of accidentally damaging it and affecting his third junior’s comprehension.

He even supported it with his spiritual power while tearing it!

As an acknowledged master craftsman with ‘Eagle’s Claw’ at his command, for Lu Xun, this was a first.

After several minutes, he finally managed to remove the entire[Divine Talisman].

A streak of golden light flickered on the talisman paper, and although the character for “Sword” remained, it seemed to have lost most of its charm.

This [Divine Talisman] became inexplicably invalid.

“Strange, why did it become invalid as soon as I tore it? Lu Xun couldn’t understand why he could easily unlock it.

His hand wasn’t a [True Golden Finger].

“Is it because of my charisma 10? Am I so handsome that even a talisman might surrender before me?” Lu Xun joked to himself, not taking it too seriously.

Then, he slowly opened the wooden box.

The moment he opened it, he understood the reason.

Because what he saw was… strands of purple-gold qi!

At the time when he had broken through to [Swordsmanship Aptitude 8], he had seen the map of the Heavenly Dust Continent composed of qi.

And the area of the Central Continent was in purple and gold!

Therefore, he instantly concluded – “This is the Sword Fate of the Central Continent!”

…

…

“Hoo- Hoo – Hoo -”

For some reason, the wind in the Central Continent seemed stronger today.

The Luotian Sect, located in the north of the Central Continent, is known to be all-inclusive, with everything returning to the sect.

At this hour, the pride of Luotian Sect – Xiao Ran, known as Little Red Riding Hood whose grandmother was eaten by a wolf, was standing on a mountain peak.

The wind rustled through her robe, blowing it backwards and outlining her extremely flat figure.

She held the two axes known as [Cutting Tree] and [Chopping Wood], whirling them in a mighty windstorm.

As a [True World Protagonist], Xiao Ran’s strength had been progressing by leaps and bounds these days.

During the last invasion by the Foreign Race, Xiao Ran came close to death many times, but she broke through several realms. Now, she was already at Ye Sui’an’s level.

It was previously said that Xiao Ran, aka Xiao Dali among the players, was famed worldwide for the robustness of her spiritual power.

Whenever a video of her crushing her opponent gets posted on a forum, a string of replies would invariably come, all repeating, “You just hit as hard as you can, leave the rest to miracles!”

After practicing a series of domineering techniques, Xiao Ran put down her axes. Her flat chest was barely heaving, but her eyes sparkled with energy.

“If I were to encounter Uncle Lu now, I wonder if I could match him in total spiritual power,” Xiao Ran wondered aloud with a smile.

With that thought, the image of the figure in a black robe floated into her mind.

At this moment, Xiao Ran frowned slightly and looked towards the sky above Central Continent.

Unknown to why, above Central Continent, a huge cloud vortex suddenly appeared!

The clouds in the sky spun like a whirlpool, visible to everyone within the Central Continent area just by looking up.

Immediately after, Xiao Ran heard one sword hum after another coming from within the Luotian Sect!

Xiao Ran put away her twin axes and prepared to ask her master.

When she arrived at the small courtyard where her master, Zhao Suihan, was cultivating in silence, she saw Zhao Suihan looking at her Immortal Sword with her full attention.

Her Immortal Sword was currently trembling continuously, emitting wave after wave of proud sword hums!

“Master, what’s going on?” Xiao Ran was taken aback.

Even her master’s Immortal Sword was trembling and humming, one could imagine what state the Luotian Sect was in now!

The royal sister-like Zhao Suihan stared at her Immortal Sword and said, “Rumors say that when your Uncle Lu has a breakthrough in swordsmanship, it can trigger a phenomenon of Ten Thousand Swords Clashing.”

Xiao Ran nodded when she heard this. She had heard this story before, and at this moment, she thought to herself, “Uncle Lu is really powerful.”

Zhao Suihan looked at her Immortal Sword, her gaze calm and distant, “Could it be that another freak like Lu Xun has appeared on our Central Continent?”

“Impossible!” Xiao Ran couldn’t help but blurt out.

After speaking, her pretty face turned red.

Although she always felt that no younger cultivator could compare with Uncle Lu, it was still quite embarrassing to say it so bluntly in front of her master.

Zhao Suihan glanced at her cherished disciple, if she didn’t know that her disciple loathed men and had actually favored women, she would have suspected that Xiao Ran was interested in Lu Xun.

Zhao Suihan, who was in love with Yan Li, thought to herself,” If Yan Li and I are to become Dao companions sooner or later and Xiao Ran really ends up with Lu Xun, wouldn’t the generations be in chaos?”

Zhao Suihan shook her head slightly, looking at her usually careless and today blushing disciple, she smiled, “I also think it’s impossible. Where can there be so many, demon-like sword genius in this world?”

“Master, then what do you mean?” When Xiao Ran heard that, she immediately looked up, her eyes bright.

Zhao Suihan gave a little laugh. “I suspect, your Uncle Lu Xun is in our Central Continent right now!”

At her words, Xiao Ran’s beautiful eyes brightened even more.

…

…

The phenomenon continued to spread in the Central Continent.

One by one, the sand-sculpted players recorded videos and began discussing in the forum.

Some analysis posts stated clearly, “Don’t read too much into it, it must be the Purple Palace’s people who just made a breakthrough in the Central Continent.”

Some more extreme con-artists countered, “If it’s not a phenomenon caused by the Purple Palace, I’ll drink all your brothers’ hot sh*t!”

There was heated reply below, such as, “Don’t just eat sh*t, hydrate with some urine too.”

But no matter what, indeed no one was refuting these points.

It had been established in the players’ minds that the sword-related phenomena in the world of Heavenly Dust were all prepared for the Purple Palace, the World Protagonist.

In this scenario, even if there were any Sword Cultivators who caused a huge phenomenon, the players’ first reaction might be: What! Purple Palace has advanced again!?

In reality, Lu Xun, who was in the yard, was now in a state of blurred consciousness.

Upon realizing that this was the Central Continent’s Sword Fate, before he could react, the Sword Fate integrated directly into his body.

Lu Xun lost consciousness instantly and fell backward.

Because he was really tall, when he fell backward, his head hit the shelf behind him.

With his body comparable to a Superior Spirit Sword, how could his head not be hard?

Therefore, he directly destroyed the shelf.

It’s always a good thing for a man to have a hard head, isn’t it?

However, the whole situation was a bit embarrassing.

But Ji Li and Lin Chan did not find it embarrassing at all. Instead, their little mouths fell open, their beautiful eyes trembled, and their faces were filled with shock.

Because they clearly felt that their Swordsman Cultivation had been enhanced!

This feeling was consistent with being close to Lu Xun back in the Eastern Region.

They quickly surmised that aside from the west and east’s Sword Fate, Lu Xun had now also reaped the Central Continent’s Sword Fate!

Outside the yard, a man dressed in a white robe looked up at the sky, his thoughts unclear.

After a long time, he merely sighed.
