There’s Something Wrong With This Account

At this point, Ji Li gently tugged at Lu Xun’s sleeve again, saying, “Lu Xun, let me go first this time as well.”

She still wanted to pave the way for Lu Xun.

Lu Xun shook his head and said, “I suggest you break through to the second realm here first, then enter the Trial Ground.”

“Huh? Why?” Ji Li wondered.

She had indeed been suppressing her realm, because once she reached the second realm, she wouldn’t be able to enter the “Turtle’s Longevity”.

But now that she’s been to the “Turtle’s Longevity”, and even achieved a good result that surpassed Lu Xun, she was satisfied.

So, there was no need to forcefully suppress her realm any longer.

She just didn’t understand why it would be necessary to make the breakthrough at this moment.

After hearing this, Ping Shanhai nodded slightly and interjected:

“Lu’s suggestion is indeed sound. If you reach the next level now, you can precisely use the trial within the “Moon in the Well” to consolidate your realm. At the same time, your enhanced strength will enable you to go further inside, perhaps reaping even more rewards.

The most important point is, the “Moon in the Well” consumes a lot of spiritual power, and it’s right after a breakthrough that cultivators feel the most spiritually abundant, making it the best time to tackle the trial.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Li nodded repeatedly and hurriedly replied, “Thank you for your guidance, Ji Li understands.”

Ping Shanhai’s lengthy discourse fell into Ji Li’s ears and transformed into a single sentence: “Lu Xun is looking out for me.”

This summarization was representative-level indeed…

Therefore, Ji Li obediently prepared to make a breakthrough while Lu Xun tackled the trial.

At this point, Lu Xun was already somewhat impatient.

He had several reasons for coming to this “Moon in the Well”.

The first was to gain experience points reward, the second was to get on the leaderboards and maintain his presence in front of other players.

The third reason was the most crucial one.

If one could complete the “Moon in the Well”, they would receive a reward left behind by the founder of the Sword Mountain.

If you pass the final challenge, you’ll find a small flame that has been burning for thousands of years at the end!

This flame was known as the “Undying Fire”.

It had no heat, couldn’t cause harm to people and seemed to never extinguish.

Its only purpose was to refine magical weapons for a single time.

This refining effect could only work once for any magical weapon.

But experience has shown that even purple weapons could receive substantial upgrades once refined through it!

That was amazing.

Both One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain not only produced powerful Sword Cultivators, but also famous swords, all thanks to this “Undying Fire”!

Such a golden opportunity was definitely not something Lu Xun would want to miss.

This was exactly why he insisted on entering the “Moon in the Well”, even though he lacked neither experience points nor reputation.

Lu Xun slightly bowed to the crowd, then began to walk towards the entrance of the “Moon in the Well”.

“Ding! Do you want to enter the instance: Moon in the Well?”

Lu Xun chose “Yes”.

The moment he stepped into the large array, he vanished.

When he opened his eyes, he felt enveloped in complete darkness.

It wasn’t just the absence of light, it was a chaotic sensation which was hard to put into words.

This sensation felt very familiar to Lu Xun.

When he first entered the back mountain, his second senior sister subjected him to an “Enveloped in Sword Intent” experience, where for a full 30 nights, as soon as he closed his eyes, he’d find himself immersed in endless darkness, subjected to the relentless lashing of a Sword Intent, often waking up drenched in cold sweat.

Then, he became stronger.

Later, his eldest senior brother did the same to him too.

Then, he got even stronger.

As such, this situation was extremely familiar to Lu Xun.

Others might be encountering it for the first time, but he had already experienced it for 60 nights!

A regular person, suddenly plunged into an endless void of chaotic darkness, would surely feel uneasy and anxious.

But he didn’t.

This was the difference between a novice and a veteran.

At this moment, Lu Xun even had the mood to extend both his arms and take a deep breath.

Then, he muttered to himself,

“That’s more like it.”
