Seeing Lu Qingyun emerge alone, Lu Changming was not surprised.
He walked over and, seeing Lu Qingyun lower his head without speaking, comforted him, "The Sixth Ancestor has already told me. From today onward, you are one of the Lu Family's sequences."
"All resources, cultivation methods, and divine abilities are open for you to study. Even the Ancestors' supreme arts are no exception."
"The only thing you lack is the Ancestors' personal guidance. But you need not worry about that either. What the Lu Family lacks least are powerful experts—you may choose freely among them!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyun appeared calm and unruffled on the surface, but inwardly, he was wildly excited!
All resources, cultivation methods, and divine abilities were open for him to study!
If he had been an ordinary genius, he naturally would not have progressed as quickly without the Ancestors' instruction.
But the problem was, he was not ordinary!
The Point Addition System surely did more than just add levels to his realm!
When the time came, a casual tap would be far more comfortable than exhausting himself with grueling special training every day!
After that, Lu Qingyun was brought to a Divine Peak.
Across the Divine Peak, rare and precious beasts roamed everywhere, while Spiritual Energy gathered into a lake and flowed with a gentle murmur.
At the very summit stood an enormously grand divine hall, gleaming with radiant colors beneath the light.
The entire palace had been carved from a single unimaginably massive piece of white jade. It naturally possessed the effects of a Spirit Gathering Array—the kind of jade that nourished people, as the common saying went.
"From today onward, you are the Lu Family's thirteenth sequence. This is your exclusive palace—Ling Jue Hall."
"The guards and attendants are currently being assembled. They will be responsible for your safety and daily affairs from now on."
After briefly explaining the situation to Lu Qingyun and confirming that he roughly understood it all, Lu Changming left.
Lu Qingyun was left standing alone in the unusually desolate hall, accompanied only by mountain-like piles of immense resources measured by the ton!
Looking at those resources, Lu Qingyun nearly grinned from ear to ear.
The array activated!
Sitting cross-legged upon the Myriad-Year Ice Bed, Lu Qingyun casually tossed a Millennium Vermilion Fruit into his mouth. Juice burst forth with one bite!
[Energy Points +120]
Looking at the Energy Points that had long surpassed one million, Lu Qingyun casually tapped.
One hundred thousand Energy Points were consumed, and the Blood Moving Realm rose another thousand levels!
After reaching a certain number of levels, Lu Qingyun discovered that he could raise his realm by a large amount at once!
Of course, this was related to his original realm.
It was impossible to leap directly from the strength of one thousand levels to one million levels in a single step.
Of course... he was not that extravagant either.
Breaking through a thousand levels at once created an enormous disturbance. His blood and qi erupted like a blazing furnace!
Crimson blood qi filled the hall, blocked off by the array.
He continued adding points again and again until every last Energy Point had been squandered!
At last, Lu Qingyun opened his eyes, and his entire presence had changed considerably.
The incomparably powerful strength made him feel as though one punch could blast a hole through the heavens!
[Host: Lu Qingyun (Soul Bound)] [Energy Points: 2364] [Realm: Blood Moving Realm, 21,564 levels!]
Twenty thousand levels in the Blood Moving Secret Realm!
For ordinary people, that was simply beyond imagination!
Even within the Lu Family, it was the same.
With enormous resources piled upon them, some geniuses could temper themselves for years and only reach a limit of ten thousand levels.
In the end, they could only break through into the next Cave Heaven Realm.
Yet Lu Qingyun had only undergone his first Rite of Passage today.
By any calculation, not even a full day had passed, yet he had already surpassed the limit those geniuses could reach!
Lu Qingyun was fairly satisfied with this.
[Energy Points +135, +245, +187...]
Vast medicinal power accumulated within Lu Qingyun's body. As the system devoured it, it provided him with Energy Points every moment.
In other words, Lu Qingyun could actually do nothing at all.
He could simply eat and drink every day, and his realm would rise like a rocket!
Lu Qingyun did not choose to continue adding points. He decided to save them first, then break through several thousand levels at once later.
At some unknown point, evening had arrived.
Lu Qingyun shut down the array and threw open the hall doors.
Several hundred people stood outside.
At the front stood a tall, burly man and a beautiful, dignified woman with a graceful figure.
Upon seeing Lu Qingyun, they immediately bowed and saluted. "Guard Captain Zhao Chen (Attendant Captain Yang Mei), greetings, Sequence!"
Neither of them bore the surname Lu, and Lu Qingyun did not find that strange.
As one of the Great Wilderness's most supreme Lineages, the Lu Family had no idea how many clans and even nations depended upon it.
Zhao Chen and Yang Mei before him had clearly risen as powerful experts from one of those smaller clans or nations.
As for loyalty, there was even less need to worry.
When these people had been selected as guards and attendants, Lu Family experts had already branded them with Soul Imprints belonging to Lu Qingyun.
They could never betray him through all eternity!
That meant that, from this moment onward, these several hundred people belonged completely and utterly to Lu Qingyun.
Thus, under normal circumstances, those serving as guards and attendants could not possibly be members of the Lu Family.
"Come in."
Lu Qingyun waved a hand. His tone was neither pleased nor displeased, utterly calm.
Seeing this, Zhao Chen and Yang Mei could not help but sigh inwardly.
As expected of a Lu Family sequence—his temperament was nothing like that of a mere six-year-old child!
Of course, even if Lu Qingyun truly possessed nothing but a child's temperament, they would never dare harbor any improper thoughts.
"What is your strength?"
Lu Qingyun looked at Zhao Chen and asked.
At this point, he only had a vague understanding of cultivation realms.
He only knew that the earlier realms were the Blood Moving Realm, Cave Heaven Realm, Mountain-Sea Realm, Dharma Form Realm, Nirvana Realm, and True God Realm.
As for the realms beyond those, he did not know much.
"Reporting to the Sequence, I am in the True God Realm. Aside from myself and the vice-captain, who are True Gods, the other hundred members of the guard unit are all at the peak of the Nirvana Realm."
When Zhao Chen said this, he showed not the slightest trace of arrogance.
A True God might be a great figure capable of dominating a region in the outside world.
But this was the Lu Family!
Not to mention True Gods—even stronger experts were far from rare here.
"True God..."
Lu Qingyun stroked his chin, and the look in his eyes as he regarded Zhao Chen became somewhat dangerous.
If he remembered correctly, the blood Lu Changming had released later during today's Rite of Passage had come from a True Dragon.
And True Dragons seemed to generally be in the True God Realm...
Then did that mean Zhao Chen's blood might have the same effect?
Lu Qingyun's gaze made Zhao Chen's heart tighten. In the darkness, he seemed to sense an ominous premonition.
Fortunately, Lu Qingyun eventually withdrew his gaze.
After all, he did not lack resources right now. There was no need to use such a method.
"You may leave."
Lu Qingyun waved his hand, sending the two of them off to attend to their duties.
As for himself, he ate a great feast. After storing immense medicinal power within his body, he lay directly on the bed and fell asleep.
Seeing this, Zhao Chen wanted to stop him.
Because after the first Rite of Passage, cultivation was usually used to replace unnecessary sleep.
Simply sleeping like this... was truly a waste of cultivation time.
But in the end, Zhao Chen forcibly held himself back.
As a Guard Captain, it was not his place to teach a sequence how to cultivate!
"Starting tomorrow, the Sequence will be free to choose his teachers. By then, he will naturally understand everything."
Zhao Chen's figure gradually faded into the void.
Meanwhile, Yang Mei, who led the attendants, directed the other attendants to sort, arrange, and preserve the massive amount of resources.
They minimized the loss of essence to the greatest extent possible and carefully recorded the effects of every resource, so that Lu Qingyun's future cultivation could proceed more smoothly.
