On the tall stage, Lu Xun was still the same Lu Xun.

However, some people quickly discovered what was wrong.

Amongst the crowd of disciples, the first to discover this were the inner sect disciples who had already cultivated the Qi Devouring Formula to perfection.

Since their cultivations were profound, their perception was naturally out of the ordinary. With a quick and focused glance, they immediately discovered that the moment Lu Xun walked onto the tall stage, his strength instantly rose!

This was… a breakthrough?

No way, he broke through just like that!?

The reactions of the outer sect disciples weren’t just as fast as theirs, but some highly experienced senior disciples, who were about to reach perfection on the Qi Devouring Formula had also seen Lu Xun’s transformation.

Originally, the summit was extremely quiet, this was due to the disciples patiently waiting for Little Great Uncle-Master’s lecture, however now, it was instantly bustling with noise and excitement!

Everyone here knew that when Lu Xun jumped off the cliff a while back, he didn’t die for some reason, however, he was still heavily injured.

The Lord Sect Master took out a precious Spirit Pill that allowed Lu Xun to recover his injuries in the short span of a few days.

Before all this happened, he was just an ordinary man.

His aptitude wasn’t outstanding too, and precisely speaking, his aptitude was extremely poor even amongst outer sect disciples. This was already no longer a secret in the Demon Sect.

After all, every disciple was required to have their aptitude tested before entering the sect, after doing so, it would then be registered in the books.

Even if Lu Xun was admitted as an exception by Sir, these series of processes also had to be taken, however, he was still in a coma at the time he should’ve been taking the test.

As compared to Ji Li’s outstanding eight ripples, Lu Xun had only one pathetic circle.

This indicated that from the aspect of aptitude alone, he barely passed the threshold, and belonged to the worst of the worst.

Despite all this, if one looked at the long history of the lands of Heavenly Earth, there were still quite a few people with terrible aptitude who managed to become figures with towering cultivation. This was considered the loser route, even in the most popular school, there would be one or two of these people every few hundred years in any case.

In addition, he was Sir’s disciple, so no one would criticize his aptitude.

The majority of people here weren’t envious or indignant, but only regretful.

If Little Great Uncle-Master’s aptitude was a bit better, then how good would that be?

The Rear Mountain’s Small Study was the Demon Sect’s most radiant signboard! Everyone always hoped that it would continue to be dazzling.

Although they didn’t think that Lu Xun would deliberately defame the Small Study, they still hoped from the bottom of their hearts that he could add something to the Small Study that was already perfect.

As for how outsiders looked at them for deferentially addressing a young man with trash aptitude as their Little Great Uncle-Master… what did that have to do with the Demon Sect?

Why was there a need to care about how others felt in the Demon Sect’s conduct?

Let them say whatever they want behind our backs! The Demon Sect wouldn’t decline from this mere chatter, and even if someone dared to bring it up to their faces… did they think our swords weren’t fast enough?

Just like many years ago during Cat Southnorth’s sect-entrance ceremony, she said her signature catchphrase, “Don’t anger this old lady, or else this old lady will cut your heads off in one strike!”

The crowd of disciples below were greatly startled at first, and then they discussed amongst themselves, after doing so, they gave knowing smiles and nodded.

It was unknown which mischievous disciple took the lead and shouted, “We’ll sincerely obey Great Aunt-Master’s instructions!”

However, because of this, quite a few young disciples joined the ranks of yelling the same thing.

At last, everyone bowed and said in chorus, “We’ll sincerely obey Great Aunt-Master’s instructions!!!”

Because the Demon Sect did have this precise attitude for outsiders—then don’t provoke the Demon Sect, or else the Demon Sect will cut your heads off in one strike!

At this moment, after Lu Xun shortly went absent-minded on the tall stage in front of everyone, he broke through to the second layer of the Qi Devouring Formula. From those at the top brass to the lowest layer, everyone in the Demon Sect felt honor with this!

In the lands of Heavenly Earth, all of the entrance cultivation techniques of the demonic Dao were quite similar in characteristic, which was that the first layer was especially easy to enter. The later layers were also really not that difficult to break through. This also meant that the ninth layer and the tenth layer weren’t all that difficult. However, the greatest difficulty was instead breaking through from the first layer to the second layer!

The first layer was indeed the most effortless among them all, one only needed to draw qi into the body.

Everyone’s body would first absorb part of the spiritual qi, once they have done so, it would improve their constitution. Until the body absorbed it to saturation, the spiritual qi would then be retained within the Sea of Qi.

When the Sea of Qi receives its first sliver of spiritual qi, this means that one has entered the first layer of the Qi Devouring Formula.

However, the second layer was quite different. The second layer not only needed the person to strengthen spiritual qi, but also required a certain amount of ‘comprehension’ in order to break through. What needed to be comprehended was… precisely what kind of existence one’s Sea of Qi was.

In layman’s terms, the cultivator needed to ‘see’ the Sea of Qi.

This was an incredible and mysterious kind of realization.

This was also considered as the Dao’s first test for cultivators after setting foot in cultivation.

It was obvious that Little Great Uncle-master’s cultivation speed actually wasn’t that slow. Even though he was just an ordinary man before he jumped off the cliff. Just before the ceremony, he had already touched the threshold of the second layer of the Qi Devouring Formula, and the moment he stepped on the tall stage…

…he comprehended it!

Yes, this Little Great Uncle-Master didn’t follow the process of carrying out a lecture, and instead, he smiled without talking, clearly looking as if he was absent-minded.

This was an occasion where everyone assembled, plus, he was under the circumstances where everyone’s eyes were focused on him, yet he could actually calm down and succeed in his comprehension!

Little Great Uncle-Master was truly a god!

Even the crowd of inner sect disciples with outstanding talent tried putting themselves in his shoes and thought about it, feeling what would have happened if it was them. One after another, they could only admit that they couldn’t do it themselves.

With so many people watching, being able to retain one’s calm was already pretty good. However, not to mention just merely calming down, Little Great Uncle-Master actually comprehended!

He had such an amazing temperament, if one surveyed the entire lands of Heavenly Earth, how many young cultivators could do something like this?

A sense of respect spontaneously arose from everyone!

Similar thoughts started appearing in many people’s hearts, ‘Although I entered the sect earlier than Little Great Uncle-Master, and my cultivation tier is clearly higher than his, just by solely having this kind of temperament… I’m no match!’

On the high stage, the Sect Master, peak masters, and various elders who had stood behind Lu Xun were the first to discover his breakthrough.

They already heard Shen Yan mention that their Little Uncle-Master crossed over the threshold of cultivation overnight, and reached the first layer of the Qi Devouring Formula.

This wasn’t considered fast, but it wasn’t slow either, it still far surpassed the speed that befitted his aptitude.

“In just a single day, he already forged ahead again?”

“In the time of a single day and night, he broke through two layers of the Qi Devouring Formula!”

“Did we have such speed in the past?”

Even when ‘Heavenly Earth’ was in Open Beta and players had already arrived, the majority of these players would also be unable to level up quite rapidly like Lu Xun.

It was because the early stage newbie missions gave very little experience value. The missions’ main purpose was to let everyone familiarize themselves with the game.

Of course, an exception to this was that one was lucky like Lu Xun. This meant that the player would have also encountered a ‘moving experience bag’ like the Mountain Ghost and killed it.

However, in the early-stages of the game, players still hadn’t quite grasped the correct method to exterminate these ghosts, they didn’t know that they had to poke their eyes. Thus, even if they encountered ghosts in the early-stage, not to mention poking them, they would be the ones being chased and poked instead, alright?

“No! No! Aaahhh!,” This would be the spectacle one would see when early-stage players encountered ghosts.

Thus, Lu Xun at this moment didn’t dare to say that he created a new record, but he definitely shocked these people’s hearts!

He didn’t need stand on the high stage to give a lecture, it was because he already used his actions to give the Demon Sect’s disciples a lesson:

…the path of cultivation is endless, all of you must cultivate the mind.

According to the process, after the lecture was over, all the disciples needed to pay obeisance to the Little Great Uncle-Master again.

At this moment, everyone was perfectly happy to do so.

All the disciples bowed down simultaneously, their voices even louder and clearer than before, “We’ll sincerely obey Great Uncle-Master’s instructions!!!”

Lu Xun stood on the high stage, and looked down on the vast crowd of disciples, he felt a little dumbfounded.

‘How did it jump to sincerely obeying instructions? I haven’t even said the mental draft I thought about for several hours last night! I wanted to be a plagiarist! Oh, give me a chance please!’

With how things were now, he could only continue to cordially smile, and stand on this high stage to display his bearing.

At this moment, his prestige value finally began to dramatically rise!

At the same time, a question emerged in everyone’s mind:

“What does the Sea of Qi that Little Great Uncle-Master saw look like exactly?”
