Lu Xun took another glance at the necklace in his hand before carefully storing it away.
At first glance, this necklace seemed like a piece of superior yellow armor, but actually, it served as a key.
If one were to look closely, the gemstone embedded in it seemed quite quirky, almost like a bewitching eye.
Its purpose was simple; it could open a Secret Realm.
Once successfully inside the Secret Realm, Lu Xun felt confident that he could trigger one of the main plotlines of “Heavenly Dust” ahead of time!
This main plotline was supposed to kick in once most players had reached level thirty. Now that the players hadn’t even arrived, he had already initiated this main plotline. This will put him way ahead, leaving the rest of the players eating his dust!
The main plotline Lu Xun intended to activate could best be summed up as a “Foreign Invasion.”
This is a very clichéd scenario that Lu Xun had seen before in novels, comics, games, and movies.
However, now that he had become a part of the transmigrating army, he suddenly found this “Foreign Invasion” somewhat interesting.
This is because the main forces fighting against the foreign race were made up of two groups, the original inhabitants of the Heavenly Dust Continent, and the comically inept players.
But for the Heavenly Dust Continent… aren’t the players technically also a foreign race?
One foreign race fighting against another?
“Something doesn’t feel quite right…” Lu Xun thought silently.
Looking at the timeline, the players would begin to arrive in large numbers in few months, while the large-scale foreign invasion side-plot wouldn’t happen for several years. By then the players would have grown quite a bit.
No matter whether he was standing from the perspective of a player or an NPC, he and the foreign race were still hostile to each other, so he needed to start preparing for these years early.
This necklace in his hand is going to be his first step!
Inside the meeting hall, people like Mo Beipo were passionately persuading Lu Xun and the others to stay a few days at the Tianque Gate.
Lu Xun felt that the people of Tianque Gate were a bit too annoying, but staying here would definitely be convenient for his next move, so he nodded in agreement.
The smiles on the faces of Mo Beipo and the others became even brighter when they thought to themselves, “It seems our actions have left a good impression in his heart.”
The accommodations prepared by the Tianque Gate for Lu Xun’s party were top-notch, located in a quiet and secluded courtyard, with everything they needed. They even planned to send two female disciples to serve them, but Lu Xun refused that.
He came to the Tianque Gate for serious business, not for a vacation.
Moreover, having female disciples around would be troublesome. Even though Tianque Gate wouldn’t dare to monitor Lu Xun’s every move, but by just standing there, he was usually the center of attention for ordinary female disciples, always stealing glances at him. How was that any different from being watched?
That would really hinder his actions!
Of course, male disciples probably wouldn’t work either!
Through some idle chat with Mo Beipo, Lu Xun had already gained a basic understanding of the Tianque Gate.
Since Mo Beipo wanted to build a good relationship, he certainly had to give a simple introduction to his sect.
The Tianque Gate hadn’t been established for long, but it had been around longer than the Demon Sect.
The first Sect Leader, known as Tianque Shangren, was a Great Cultivator in the seventh stage.
He founded the Tianque Gate on this Great Empty Peak to pass on his cultivation. What he didn’t expect was that every subsequent generation was inferior to the last.
