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

After the discussion in the attic, Lu Xin left and returned to the Seven Luminaries Sect.

According to the agreed-upon result, the Nascent Soul stage cultivators did not plan to take action, for two reasons.

First, it was unlikely that beasts above the seventh level would appear among the demon beasts on the edge of the Sand Sea.

This was because demon beasts of this level were equivalent to human Nascent Soul stage cultivators, having developed mature intelligence and generally capable of transforming into human form, making it impossible for them to be driven by lower-level demon races.

Therefore, there was no need for them to take action.

Second, based on the first reason, they intended to temper the strength of those below and improve their cooperation with each other.

After all, this team was pieced together temporarily.

It still needed to be broken in.

To avoid appearing flustered when facing the demon army.

Of course, many people would die in the process, but this was unavoidable, and they could only try to minimize it.

Therefore, Lu Xin and the other Nascent Soul experts would take turns overseeing, each watching for two months at a time.

Lu Xin was naturally assigned to the seventh batch, and he would be notified when his turn came.

Back at the sect, he summoned Murong Xin again, asking how many people had been sent to the allied forces' camp and how many remained behind.

After Murong Xin answered one by one, he said, "Reporting to Ancestral Master, after the city lord of Black Qu City joined our sect as an Honorary Elder, Jade Flower City, Myriad Phenomena Mountain, and Phoenix Pavilion have all expressed interest in joining our sect. Please give your instructions, Ancestral Master."

Lu Xin was somewhat surprised and thought for a moment before asking, "What are their requirements?"

Murong Xin replied, "Reporting to Ancestral Master, since learning of the upcoming demon race invasion, they know they cannot stand alone, so they have no requirements and will leave everything to Ancestral Master's arrangement."

"In that case, arrange it as with Feng Rencheng's case."

"Disciple understands."

Afterward, he instructed them to strengthen vigilance both inside and outside the sect, and then returned to the secret chamber to continue his arduous cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.

This period of time was long for mortals, but for cultivators, it was nothing much.

In the secret chamber, Lu Xin ended his cultivation again, and now his realm status had changed to:

[Realm: Nascent Soul Stage Early Phase (855360 / 2000000)]

And the convertible mana had accumulated to more than 1,391,000 points.

He had enough mana.

So, as long as he spent another hundred days or so converting the stored mana into True Yang Qi, he could upgrade to the Nascent Soul Stage Middle Phase.

Thinking of this, he felt a pang of heartache, as he could have refined a lot of mana himself in these hundred days.

But there was no way around it, the time that needed to be spent still had to be spent.

Then he calculated the time again, according to the original plan, each Nascent Soul cultivator would oversee for two months, and there were six ahead of him, so there was still plenty of time.

So, he continued to cultivate arduously.

In this way, another three months or so passed. During these days, Lu Xin fully converted his mana, and finally, after one hundred and seven days, he successfully became a Nascent Soul Stage Middle Phase cultivator.

As soon as he broke through, Lu Xin immediately stopped converting mana and then circulated his cultivation technique to cultivate on his own.

He only stopped after a year had passed.

Now his realm and convertible mana status had changed to:

[Realm: Nascent Soul Stage Middle Phase (189216 / 4000000)]

[Convertible Mana: 712979]

Seeing the mana value soaring to four million, Lu Xin only felt as if he had just climbed to the top of a mountain, and just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, an even higher mountain appeared in front of him.

Waiting for him to climb.

It seemed endless, making people sigh.

"Let's take it one step at a time."

Lu Xin sighed with emotion, then ended his seclusion and walked out of the secret chamber, because the communication talisman had already sent a signal.

"Ancestral Master!"

Seeing Lu Xin arrive, Gao Li and Jiang Yi, who were watering the Purple Crystal Star Pattern Fruit, hurriedly saluted.

Lu Xin waved his hand, telling them not to be too polite, and then turned his gaze to the Purple Crystal Star Pattern Fruit tree. After daily watering, the sapling from the beginning had now grown to be more than half a person tall.

He didn't know when it would bear fruit, so he could only instruct the two to take good care of it.

Then he left.

At this moment, a white shadow flashed past and appeared in front of him. It was the White Wolf King, who had been left by him on Demon Subduing Peak and almost forgotten.

"You want to go out with me?"

The White Wolf had long lost its initial ferocity. It seemed to understand Lu Xin's meaning and nodded.

Lu Xin thought for a moment, straddled the White Wolf, and then left the mountain gate, not going to the camp, but directly to the front line of the Shifting Sands Sea.

......

Frontline camp of the Shifting Sands Sea.

"Junior Sister Li, when do you think this will end? Every day is so nerve-wracking."

Inside the camp, Senior Sister Wang, whom Lu Xin had seen before, complained to Li Jingxuan.

Li Jingxuan glanced at her and comforted her, "Don't worry, Senior Sister Wang, the camp is very safe."

Senior Sister Wang wore a mournful face, "You also know that I'm not worried about the camp, but that we have to go out to exterminate demon beasts every so often, and maybe one day I'll die.

You know Senior Brother Liu, who was always pestering you, right? I saw him being swallowed whole by a demon beast with my own eyes."

She still maintained her talkative nature, and Li Jingxuan habitually listened quietly.

Lu Xin happened to encounter this in mid-air and chuckled to himself.

This disciple surnamed Wang was still as timid as when he had last seen her, but he had no prejudice against her.

Because timid people generally live longer.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Xin let the White Wolf land.

Senior Sister Wang was startled again, feeling somewhat tearful, because she realized that the Ancestral Master had heard her speaking ill again.

"Greetings, Ancestral Master." Li Jingxuan still saluted respectfully.

"Gree, greetings, Ancestral Master," Senior Sister Wang stammered.

Lu Xin nodded and asked the disciple surnamed Wang, "What is your name?"

"Replying to Ancestral Master, this disciple is called Wang, Wang Yajun."

Wang Yajun was a little flustered and admitted her mistake, "Ancestral Master, I, I was wrong."

Lu Xin smiled gently, "You are not wrong. Everyone has their own pursuits, and as long as they don't harm others to benefit themselves, the pursuit is not wrong."

After saying that, his expression suddenly stiffened, because he himself didn't seem to have achieved this "not harming others to benefit oneself," but now he was lecturing others.

However, he had a thick skin, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to a gentle smile.

Wang Yajun's face was confused upon hearing this, but Li Jingxuan's gaze towards Lu Xin became even more respectful.

Lu Xin didn't stay any longer, took out some first and second-order talismans that he had never used, handed them to the two, and left after instructing them to "prioritize their lives in everything."

"Junior Sister Li, what did Ancestral Master mean by that?" After Lu Xin left, Wang Yajun was still a little confused.

Li Jingxuan glanced at her speechlessly and explained simply, "Ancestral Master didn't mean to blame you."

"That's good." Wang Yajun breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Jingxuan shook her head helplessly at this.

On the other side, Lu Xin found Gu Fengzhu, the Honorary Elder of the Thousand Machines Sect who was stationed here.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you've finally come."

Gu Fengzhu was an old man with white hair and a white beard, looking like a celestial being. It was said that his cultivation talent was quite high, but he had always been obsessed with mechanical arts, so his breakthrough was a bit late.

Seeing Lu Xin, he quickly greeted him.

Lu Xin apologized, "Fellow Daoist Gu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I rushed over as soon as I received the message."

Gu Fengzhu stroked his white beard and said, "It's fine, it's only been a short time. The main thing is that I'm eager to study a newly acquired ancient mechanical art."

Then he quickly handed over the matters here to Lu Xin and left in a hurry.

Lu Xin watched his departing back, shook his head with a smile, came to the main seat and sat down. Soon, the person truly responsible for doing things in the front line camp came to seek an audience.
