I awakened my god-tier passive skill early on and took off instantly

Hearing this, Yan Qinglu indeed stopped crying and looked at him with red eyes, "Really?"

Lu Xin pondered for a moment and then affirmed, "I heard someone who understands illusions say that the Desire Realm is almost materializing from illusion. When your cultivation is higher in the future, you might have such means."

Yan Qinglu suddenly knelt on the ground and pleaded, "Please, Senior, tell me where that senior is. I want to take him as my teacher and learn illusions."

Lu Xin was a little embarrassed, "She has encountered some trouble, and I don't know where she is now."

Yan Qinglu was a little disappointed.

Lu Xin advised, "Even the most powerful illusions require high cultivation to perform. What suits you best is the best. So, you should continue to cultivate the techniques you are good at and improve your cultivation as soon as possible; that is the key."

Yan Qinglu instantly woke up and kowtowed to him several times, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior."

Lu Xin waved his hand and helped her up, "Don't kneel at the slightest thing in the future. By the way, what are your plans now?"

Yan Qinglu lowered her head, her face slightly red, "I plan to find a place to seclude myself and cultivate diligently in the future. I won't have time to repay Senior's great kindness, so…"

As she spoke, she was about to untie her clothes.

"Wait."

Lu Xin was startled and quickly stopped her, "I saved you as a matter of convenience; there's no need for this."

She was a little at a loss.

Seeing this, Lu Xin changed the subject, "You said you wanted to find a place to seclude yourself and cultivate diligently. Are you going back to the Yan family in the Tian Que Domain?"

Yan Qinglu shook her head, "After Grandpa left, I no longer have any connection with the Yan family."

Lu Xin knew that this was another story of love and hate within a family, so he didn't ask much and said:

"Since that's the case, it's all the same whether you cultivate diligently here or there. Just come back to the Seven Luminaries Sect with me."

Yan Qinglu nodded slightly and hummed softly.

Afterward, the two walked out of the cave dwelling. Lu Xin took out the Wind-Controlling Boat and left this deserted island.

Then, it took them almost two months to reach Red Coral Island, where he had left from, intending to take the teleportation array from here to the island closest to the mainland.

"Don't rush your grandpa's matter. Think positively and don't always be so sullen."

On the street, Lu Xin noticed that Yan Qinglu had become a bit taciturn, so he enlightened her.

"I know." Yan Qinglu nodded slightly, but there wasn't much change.

Lu Xin didn't force it; the rest could only be left to time.

Soon, they arrived at the location of the teleportation array. After spending a sum of spirit stones, the two were teleported to Worry-Free Island.

This was the southernmost point of the East Sea, facing the Lin Hai Domain in the Southern Thirteen Domains across the sea.

Lu Xin inquired on the island and was fortunate to find that it had a teleportation array connecting to the Lin Hai Domain, which could save a lot of time.

So, after spending a large amount of spirit stones, the two arrived at the largest city in the Lin Hai Domain, successfully returning to the mainland.

Then, Lu Xin took out the map and checked it, discovering that the Lin Hai Domain was separated from the Donghua Domain by three domains, without any teleportation array connections.

The remaining journey could only be made on their own.

So, he directly left the city, took out the Wind-Controlling Boat, and headed towards the Donghua Domain.

This time, he would first go to the Yan Kingdom to pick up Ji Yue.

Then, he would return to the Seven Luminaries Sect.

Time flew by, and the land area was much smaller than the ocean.

So, it only took Lu Xin more than four months to cross three domains and enter the territory of the Yan Kingdom in the Donghua Domain.

"Finally back again?"

Looking at the familiar scenery under his feet, Lu Xin felt a little emotional, but he quickly composed himself and headed towards the Holy Heart Sect in the northeast direction.

…

At this time, in the eastern part of the Yan Kingdom, a large mountain range, perpetually shrouded in clouds and mist, had clusters of buildings constructed along its depths, following the mountain's contours.

At the top of a cliff, Ji Yue looked at the clouds and mist below, somewhat lost in thought.

"You still disagree?"

Suddenly, a figure completely shrouded in a black robe appeared behind her, his voice a bit hoarse.

Hearing this, Ji Yue turned around and bowed slightly, "Greetings, Holy Lord."

The black-robed person didn't speak. Suddenly, he lifted the hood on his head, revealing a face that was half black and half white, stepped to her side, and looked at the sky outside the cliff, saying coldly:

"Give me a reason why you disagree!"

Ji Yue said indifferently, "I am already someone else's person."

"Is it him?"

The black-robed person suddenly turned around, his gaze fixed on her.

Ji Yue met his gaze and nodded calmly.

"Bold!"

Upon seeing this, a terrifying aura suddenly rose from the black-robed person's body, blowing away all the surrounding clouds and mist:

"Back then, he killed Wu Changhe, and you concealed his identity for him. Considering that you brought back the Amethyst Star Pattern Fruit, and that Wu Changhe took the initiative to attack you, I didn't press you about it.

But you shouldn't have given yourself to him."

"Tell me, who is he?" he asked, his eyes cold and pressing.

"Yao Yuanxiu, you've gone too far." At this moment, a woman in a white dress appeared on the cliff.

The black-robed person frowned slightly upon hearing this and withdrew his aura.

Ji Yue quickly saluted, "Disciple greets Master."

The woman in the white dress nodded slightly, looked at Yao Yuanxiu, "Last time, you made the decision on your own to set the sect rule that the Holy Son and Holy Daughter must become Dao partners. Now that the Holy Son is dead, who are you going to force her to marry?"

Yao Yuanxiu flicked his sleeves and replied, "The old ghost of the Yuehe Sect has already agreed to join forces with us, but he still has some concerns. We have to give him a push."

The woman in the white dress said angrily, "So you want my disciple to marry for political gain?"

Yao Yuanxiu snorted coldly, "That's right. The Holy Heart Sect is about to rise again. As the sect's Holy Daughter, she should contribute to this!"

The woman in the white dress sneered, "You are becoming more and more calculating. The sect's rise doesn't rely on its own strength but on these crooked ways."

Yao Yuanxiu was furious upon hearing this, "I am the Holy Lord; it's not up to you to tell me what to do."

The woman in the white dress revealed a look of disappointment in her eyes, "In recent years, you have become more and more extreme. No wonder our two factions are drifting further and further apart."

She had lost the will to argue and wanted to leave with Ji Yue.

"Stop."

The woman stopped and said with an icy expression, "What else do you want to say?"

Yao Yuanxiu said coldly, "You said that I made the rule that the Holy Son and Holy Daughter must become Dao partners, then the Holy Daughter must not give herself to others without permission; surely that wasn't set by me, right?"

The woman in the white dress frowned and looked at Ji Yue, "Have you really given yourself to him?"

Ji Yue didn't hide anything and nodded in admission.

Yao Yuanxiu sneered, "What do you know, according to the sect rules, your good disciple will be punished by the sect rules, and that man will also be captured and have his bones extracted and his soul refined."

Then, he looked at Ji Yue and said, "Say, who is he?"

Seeing this, the woman in the white dress thought about it and didn't stop her, sighing, "Say it; this is the sect rule."

Ji Yue said calmly, "Even if I say it, you wouldn't dare to go look for him."

The two frowned upon hearing this, and Yao Yuanxiu said, "Say it!"

"Lu Xin."

Ji Yue uttered the two words indifferently.

"Lu Xin?" The two searched their memories, feeling that the name was somewhat familiar.

"Pure Yang True Person of the Seven Luminaries Sect?" the woman in the white dress suddenly said.

It turned out that when the demon race invaded, the Dragon Abyss Empire issued a call-up order to the high-level members of various sects throughout the region. But then news came that the demon race had been repelled.

Along with the news came the name of Pure Yang True Person, who was said to have killed four Nascent Soul great demons alone, with unfathomable strength.

This heavily shocked them.

But unexpectedly, even more shocking news came later.

That was that Pure Yang True Person rapidly broke through to become a Transformation God, destroying six great Transformation God demons who came to seek revenge, and even chased a late-stage Transformation God great demon for tens of thousands of miles.

Once the news spread, the entire Donghua Domain was boiling, and even his prestige spread to several surrounding domains.

Now, everyone believes that Pure Yang True Person is the strongest person in the Donghua Domain.

Some low-level disciples may not recognize him, but all high-level sect members know who Pure Yang True Person Lu Xin is.

So, the woman in the white dress would think of this name.

"Impossible, how could it be him?!"

Yao Yuanxiu also remembered upon hearing this, his expression constantly changing, somewhat in disbelief.

"It's him. Now that the Amethyst Star Pattern Fruit is about to mature, I originally planned to go find him, but you still want to force me to marry someone else. Aren't you afraid that he will come over?"

Ji Yue said.

"Impossible…"

Yao Yuanxiu subconsciously took a few steps back. Although he had become a Transformation God expert with the help of the Transformation God Pill, he still didn't have the courage to face Pure Yang True Person.

He killed six Transformation God great demons with one move, and one of them was even a late-stage Transformation God.

He couldn't possibly be his opponent.

However, he quickly regained his senses, realizing that he had lost his composure, and snorted coldly:

"Who knows if what you're saying is true or false. Li Wenshu, this matter is a matter for your Holy Daughter faction; I'll leave first."

After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.

The woman in the white dress ignored him and looked at Ji Yue, "Is it really him?"
