There's Something Wrong With This Account

Purple Palace is the “World Protagonist” in “Heavenly Dust”!

Once this statement was made, it received a large amount of support from the players.

With the players continuing to interact with the NPCs, especially the Demon Sect players constantly unearthing information related to Purple Palace, everyone pretty much understood his basics.

It’s already known by the players that Purple Palace has a prestigious identity and high seniority but is actually not old and has little cultivation time.

In his battle with Ye Sui’an, the Purple Palace was only at the Initial Realm, converted into game levels, and it was barely level ten or so!

Stronger than us, but only slightly so.

However, as the players gained a deeper understanding of the Purple Palace, they didn’t underestimate him but rather took him more seriously.

Because his series of deeds were truly amazing, a perfect protagonist’s template!

In all honesty, in the eyes of Lu Xun, players were tools but from the players’ perspective, weren’t the NPCs also tools?

It’s just that even tools have different levels, the benefits they can bring to everyone differs too!

Experienced players are aware of the implications behind the phrase “World Protagonist”!

Lu Xun’s appeal to players didn’t decline but instead rose drastically!

Players were debating on the forum.

“Think about it, if Purple Palace is so cool, what can he be if not the world protagonist? Surely he couldn’t be just a vase?”

“Damn! Logically speaking, the world protagonist is key to the main story!”

“Initially, I thought he was just the most handsome leading cornerstone, but turns out he was indeed the strongest one!”

“Regardless of corners or edges, let me respectfully be the first to lick!”

“Add me in, watch me wax eloquent!”

“Add me too, witness my flattering discourses!”

“It’s time to brandish my honeyed tongue!”

Lu Xun looked at these comments, wide-eyed, only to spot a few interesting ones among them.

“If Purple Palace is the world protagonist, where does that put Ye Sui’an, the chief disciple of my One Sword Mountain?”

“Exactly! We, the Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, object as well!”

“Both NPCs are such close friends. Haven’t you heard, Ye Sui’an admires Purple Palace? They’re a natural match, why would you monsters object?”

“Ye Sui’an is obviously a follower of the world protagonist! Can’t you see that? He must play an important supporting role in the main plot, it’s really obvious!”

Lu Xun:

Poor Ye Sui’an, being one of the world protagonists, had suddenly lost his namesake in the protagonist list.

As for Lu Xun, after “Natural Sword Embryo (Fake)”, he got a new identity – “World Protagonist (Fake)”!

“I’m obviously the man behind the protagonist.” Lu Xun gave a self-deprecating smile and looked up at the sky.

After seeing several posts that made him feel agitated, he immediately closed the forum.

What he saw were:

“I’ve claimed this Purple Palace and Ye Sui’an ship! I’ve swallowed the key!”

“Is there any missy who can write a fanfic about Purple Palace and Ye Sui’an?”

“Seeking the same, begging online!”

What the hell? You guys are asking for a spanking, right?

Lu Xun felt this problem was a bit difficult to solve, but there were ways around it.

Why not… let’s butcher Ye Sui’an?

Heh heh, just kidding, just kidding, hahaha!

In Bai Guan City, after Lu Xun had harvested another batch of Experience Points outside the city, he returned to the Paper Crane.

He accumulated more than seven hundred thousand Experience Points, enough for him to level up twice.

Without any hesitation, Lu Xun clicked to level up twice, raising his character level to 17.

“Cultivating the Five Elements together is somewhat strenuous, my leveling up twice could have been enough for others to level up several times.” Lu Xun remarked in his mind.

Luckily, the more he practiced, the more he felt the advantages of cultivating the five elements together.

Because the amount of his spiritual energy is several times that of others, the Sword Qi he deposits into the Sword Sheath every day is quite intimidating.

Combined with the boost from the “Sword Cultivating Technique”, his fighting strength is now very formidable.

Moreover, the strength of “Pink Ink” is closely related to the spiritual power strength… the more vigorous his spiritual power, the thicker his shield!

His comprehensive strength is extremely terrifying.

For example, the Wild Map Boss that’s level 17, players generally have to form a team to kill it, and the weakest players even have to form a group.

While for Lu Xun, fighting it is a piece of cake!

Looking at it this way, is Lu Xun some kind of…super Boss?

Currently, Lu Xun is accompanying Ji Li for her sword training.

He must be careful. Otherwise, one wrong move and Ji Li would be sent flying, before crashing into the ground and causing a series of waves.

Wave after wave, it’s actually quite a spectacle.

However, watching it long enough could get tiring.

Not only could he send Ji Li flying, he could even chop the Wedding Sword in her hand in two!

“Ji Li’s weapon could use an upgrade.”

“But she still has the chance to climb the Hidden Mountain when she moves from the Outer Sect to the Inner Sect, so there’s no need to rush.”

“If she doesn’t get a sword on Hidden Mountain, I’ll find a way to get her a better one.”

Lu Xun thought in his heart, planning for her.

Ji Li belongs to the Fire of the Five Elements, which was also the reason why Shen Yan wanted to accept her as his disciple. He even paid a “huge” price for it – a tiny Flame Crystal.

After Lu Xun passed on the [Pink Ink] to her, the air around her was a mix of pink and red.

The two colors were quite similar and intertwined seamlessly, looking quite pleasing on the eyes.

Ji Li clearly liked the [Pink Ink] a lot, occasionally displaying it, took pleasure in watching its pink and red streams of air around her.

This gave Lu Xun an impression of a casual player.

Many players are also like this, using [skills] as [fashion], like this [Pink Ink], as long as there is sufficient spiritual power, they would flaunt it while walking…

Ji Li might think that her current state resembled a little fairy, so she asked Lu Xun, “Lu Xun, do you think I look good like this?”

Her eyes were twinkling, full of anticipation.

“Yes, the colors are nice.” Lu Xun complimented.

Ji Li:

This felt like asking him how the calligraphy was.

He would respond: It’s obvious, both the paper and ink are top-notch.

The paper crane continued on its flight, still controlled by Ji Li, she asked, “Lu Xun, are we heading out of the Demon Sect’s territory?”

“Yes, we are heading to the Three Thousand Mountain.” Lu Xun nodded.

The Three Thousand Mountain Area has many newbie villages, and the newbie players are very active. It’s a good place to harvest experience points, and it also facilitates his next plan.

“Are we going to do something?” Ji Li asked curiously.

Lu Xun glanced at her and was coming up with an excuse in his mind. Seeing that he didn’t answer directly, she immediately waved her hands and said, “It’s okay if you don’t tell me, I was just asking casually.”

She was afraid that Lu Xun found her annoying and wouldn’t bring her along in the future.

Lu Xun flicked her forehead, but didn’t say anything.

Southwest of the Heavenly Dust Continent, the Ink Sea.

This sea area is quite strange, the sea is not blue, but has a light ink color.

The color is not deep, much like the color left after washing a brush in the water.

A huge water snake is swimming on the surface of the Ink Sea, a man shrouded in a black hooded robe stands on its head.

A giant black hawk flew in from a distance, then circled in front of the sea snake.

The burly man on the black hawk jumped down and landed on the snake’s head, then saluted and said, “High Priest.”

The man in the black hooded robe extended a hand that looked old and bony, signaling him to skip the formalities.

This person must be very old.

“High Priest, Hong Yue was sent to look for the lost Dao Bead, something must have happened to her.” the burly man said.

The High Priest extended his left hand, moved his fingers a few times, which seemed a little stiff and even made a slight creaking sound, then spoke in a hoarse voice, “She’s dead.”

The burly man nodded, not saying more.

If the High Priest determined she was dead, then she must be dead.

“High Priest, about the Dao Bead…” the burly man hesitated.

The hooded old man croaked, “Forget about the deaths of Bai Beiqiu and Hong Yue for now, but the Dao Bead can’t be lost.”

After a while, he sighed, “Nevermind, let me divine it first.”

The burly man looked up, unable to help saying, “But your body…”

The hooded old man waved his skeletal hand at him, signaling him to not say more.

The old man sat on the head of the water snake, mumbling some words, and started the divination.

Everything was fine at the beginning, but soon, there was a problem!
