Chapter 292: Give You a Ray of Light (Requesting monthly tickets at the end of the month!)

Outside the Boundary Monument, Ji Li looked up at the monument for the Nth time, mumbling, “Why hasn’t Lu Xun come out yet?”

“I wonder what Lu Xun has gained inside the Boundary Monument,” she thought to herself.

Just then, the Monument of West State began emitting an array of blue lights again.

The blue glow flickered in mid-air, and a man clothed in black robes, holding a sword sheath materialised out of thin air, then from high above, under the watchful eyes of the crowd…

he descended from the sky!

“He’s out! The one from the Purple Palace is out!” The excited players began to shout.

“Wow, his black hair from the Purple Palace looks so damn fluttery!”

“So much hair at his age, why am I bald already?”

“Then you should go to Shen Yan in the Demon Sect, join the Bald Party, and become a member of the Bald God Sect!”

“Pah! Do you think the Bald Party has no requirements?”

Lu Xun dropped from a height of over a hundred meters, and from his perspective, he could see that most of the people present were craning their necks to look up at him, they were all looking up to him.

This included Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi waiting below the monument.

Ping Shanhai was a familiar face to Lu Xun, and he had met Qian Zhengyi once while playing a game, but this was the first time he’d seen him since transmigrating.

After a quick glance over the crowd, Lu Xun’s gaze started to search for Ji Li.

Noticing Lu Xun looking towards her, Ji Li quickly tiptoed and waved at him.

Lu Xun responded with a warm smile.

However, when he saw the person standing next to Ji Li, his smile couldn’t help but freeze.

“Why is Ye Sui’an here?” Lu Xun thought.

When Lu Xun landed next to Ji Li, she immediately greeted him.

But Ye Sui’an was quicker than her, and he managed to get to Lu Xun’s side half a step earlier than her.

Ji Li:

With a look of excitement and joy on his face, and his voice slightly higher than usual, Ye Sui’an excitedly said,

“Elder Lu!”

Internally, Lu Xun balked, “What kind of look is that in your eyes, it feels quite gay.”

Although he was repulsed inwardly, he still kept a mild smile on his face, saying, “How come you’re here?”

“I heard that Elder Lu was at the Boundary Monument, so I hurried over.” Ye Sui’an enthusiastically said, “Elder Lu, let me introduce you to my two masters.”

As Ye Sui’an spoke, he pulled Lu Xun’s wrist like a person introducing their partner to their parents, and led him towards Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi.

As Lu Xun helplessly followed him, he turned his head and mouthed to Ji Li, “Come over.”

Ji Li immediately scampered after him, following him around like a tail.

Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi were both waiting for Lu Xun, and seeing that Ye Sui’an brought him over, they both stepped forward.

After all, Lu Xun’s identity and seniority were evident, and the basic courteous gestures mattered.

“Friend Lu, it’s been a few years since we parted ways at the Demon Sect.” Having crossed paths with Lu Xun before, Ping Shanhai was the first to speak with a smile.

Although he was far more powerful than Lu Xun and could easily defeat him with a single sword strike, and was significantly older than Lu Xun, due to Lu Xun’s special identity, him calling Lu Xun a friend was already flattering.

Lu Xun smiled and said, “Elder Brother Ping, you still look as good as ever.”

When Ping Shanhai heard Lu Xun refer to himself like that, he was first taken aback, and then he burst into hearty laughter.

After all, Lu Xun was a transmigrator, and in his previous life when he was playing games, he had seen a lot of data prepared by the players about the big shots of “Heavenly Dust”.

He knew that Ping Shanhai was a man who didn’t sweat the small stuff, and this lame guy was magnanimous, and didn’t stand on ceremony. The less you treated him as a big deal, the more relaxed he was.

Qian Zhengyi, who was like a rich landlord, rubbed his fat hands on the side and said cheerily, “Since Lame Ping is being arrogant and calling you a friend, then I’ll follow suit. Just call me Brother Qian!”

Lu Xun glanced at the “Sword Jade” hanging from Qian Zhengyi’s waist, which allegedly contained myriad sword techniques and cultivation techniques.

Not only that, but each method and technique came with corresponding annotations and experiences left by predecessors.

At the same time, it was also a pretty decent defensive magical weapon.

That’s why it could be considered a treasure on par with the “Divine Sword”.

Without beating around the bush, Ping Shanhai looked at Lu Xun and got straight to the point,

“Brother Ping won’t say any useless words to you, I and chubby Qian waited for you here because we are curious. What exactly did you gain inside the Boundary Monument?”

How could Lu Xun directly reveal everything? He began by focusing on the least complicated part, “To be honest, Elder Brother Ping, this trip has indeed been quite rewarding for me. The greatest gain I achieved is forming a friendship with someone.”

Having said that, he glanced at the Boundary Monument.

Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi exchanged a glance, both seeing immense shock in each other’s eyes!

The high-ranking members of One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain had some understanding of the Boundary Monument, but their knowledge was not comprehensive.

They only knew that the Boundary Monument had the ability to select its own inheritors, as if it possessed Spiritual Wisdom.

But if they were asked to guess that the Boundary Monument was alive, like an Essence of the monument, they surely would not have such a wild imagination.

Because this was against common sense!

Actually, if the gentleman and Lu Xun hadn’t mentioned the story of the smiling puppet, even Lu Xun would have found it difficult to accept for a time.

As for the true identity of the fourth-generation Sect Leader of Boundless Mountain, it was a secret. Apart from the members of the Small Study, only the successive Sect Leaders of Boundless Mountain knew…

Therefore, when Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi heard what Lu Xun had to say, the first thought that came to mind was:

“Could it be… there really is a remnant of the Elder’s divine spirit stored within the Boundary Monument!?”

Indeed, the speculation that the Boundary Monument retained a strand of the Sword Mountain Elder’s divine spirit was the two Sword Sects’ explanation for the monument selecting its own inheritors.

Given what Lu Xun had just said, it could imply that he likely communicated with the remnant divine spirit of the Elder!

That is to say, Lu Xun was truly the inheritor personally selected by the Elder and had also received the Elder’s approval!

Listenn to what he just said?

He said his greatest gain was making a new friend.

That’s right, given the Elder’s special status as a Sword Path Leader with dazzling achievements throughout history, getting to know him would naturally be the greatest gain!

What surprised them, however, was his choice of the term “friend”, which implied equality in their relationship!

The Elder so admired him that he addressed him as a friend?

They couldn’t decide whether to say the Elder was a truly spirited man or that Lu Xun might be even more monstrous than they had thought!

Since this involved the Elder, the two dared not ask more out of respect.

Thus, this topic could be considered finished.

Even though they were extremely curious about Lu Xun’s other gains, they had no choice but to hold their curiosity!

Lu Xun observed the changing expressions of the two Sword Dao experts and could roughly guess that the two might have made their own assumptions.

He was very familiar with expressions like theirs, having seen similar ones on various goofy players too many times.

As they didn’t press on with their questions, Lu Xun naturally refrained from saying more.

He was determined to bring the contents of the wooden box back for Little Chan, as it was a gift he was planning to give his beloved disciple. He also wanted to avoid any trouble along the way.

Now that this topic was over, a new one was needed.

Shanhai asked, “Since you’ve come to West State, where do you plan to go next?”

This time, Lu Xun did tell the truth, “I plan to visit the Moon in the Well next.”

“Oh? How about we lead the way then?” Qian Zhengyi’s chubby face broke into a creased smile.

“That would be great, thank you both,” Lu Xun thanked them.

He turned to Ji Li and smiled, “Let’s go.”

“Okay,” Ji Li nodded in agreement.

Ye Sui’an immediately indicated that he also wanted to follow.

Lu Xun:

Before they set off, Lu Xun raised his hand high, regardless of the gazes of others, and waved goodbye to the Boundary Monument.

“What is Purple Palace doing? Why is he waving at a monument?” Some players asked in confusion from a distance.

“I have no idea, I don’t understand this move.” Another player echoed.

Not just the players, but also the Sword Cultivators and disciples of the two Sword Sects were confused.

However, in the next instant, they were all struck dumb with astonishment.

Because the Boundary Monument had actually responded to Lu Xun.

It was shining with a brilliant green light!
