The Prodigies War
chapter-1125

The old ape explained, “Young Master, you are mistaken. The kid obtained the inheritance art of our clan by himself. I only gave him one chance.”

The young man was flabbergasted. “Why...why did you do that?”

The old ape wore an unfathomable expression. “To create good karma for you, young master.”

“Create good karma?”

The young man thought he heard it wrong and snorted, “Given the foundation and background of my clan, was that necessary? I don’t care about that, I only know that he stole my things and I will get revenge!”

The old ape sighed, “If that’s the case, Young Master, can you agree to a request of mine?”

“Please tell me.” Although the young man in a brocade robe was arrogant and unruly, he greatly respected the old ape.

“If you are determined to be an enemy with that boy, then please go easy on him.” The old ape in green turned unusually solemn.

The young man’s face was overcast with a surly look, but in the end, he said through gritted teeth, “Fine, I promise you that when I get revenge, I won’t kill him!”

An imperceptible frown flickered across the old ape’s face. He looked at the conceited and unruly young man and said nothing more on this matter.

He mentioned another matter, “In less than half a month, the Holy Worship Altars will descend upon the world. There are three thousand of them in total, scattered throughout the Ancient Wasteland Domain. We should make some preparations in advance."

The brocade-robed young man who called himself Yuan Fatian quivered inwardly. He knew that the Holy Worship Altars were the gateway to the Supreme Realm!

……

“Young Master, why did you hold back?” The sword servant finally asked, unable to suppress his curiosity anymore.

“There is nothing to fear about the youngster, but he is accompanied by a Saint. If he interfered, then there could be unpredictable consequences.”

The sword servant stiffened and almost bit his tongue in shock. Who is that guy? There is actually a Saint protecting him?

The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became.

Saints must not be violated!

“Do you think Saints are terrifying?” Yun Qingbai suddenly asked.

The sword servant boy nodded subconsciously.

Yun Qingbai smiled. “You only know that Saints must not be violated, but do you know that Saints can also be reduced to nothing.”

He said nothing else after that. With a flutter of his white robe, he walked away, his figure looking particularly aloof and transcendent.

The sword boy was taken aback at first and then it struck him and he inhaled sharply, In Young Master’s eyes, are Saints not to be feared?

……

The Ink White Province.

Lin Xun and A’lu were drinking in a restaurant.

Before long, Toady appeared, exhausted and covered in dust. He poured himself a bowl of alcohol and whined, “I couldn’t get in touch with that girl Zhao Jingxuan. After a lot of inquiries and effort, I found out that she is in closed-door cultivation in preparation for entering the Supreme Realm.”

Lin Xun was slightly disappointed.

He had hoped to invite Zhao Jingxuan to join them.

It seemed impossible now.

“Let’s go. We are all heading into the Supreme Realm anyway, we might see her there.” Toady urged.

“Go? Go where?” A’lu asked.

Toady smiled mysteriously. “Go find the safest passage into the Supreme Realm. Well, if I remember correctly, that place isn’t far from the Sunset Current Valley.”

On the same day, Lin Xun and the others left Ink White Province under the leadership of Toady, passing vast mountains, rivers, and cities while traveling day and night.

Three days later, they came to a desolate mountain range.

Toady suddenly raised his head and surveyed the surroundings. “The heavens and earth are changing at a much faster rate. The mountain range is filled with much richer aeth qi compared to ancient times!”

Lin Xun and A’lu nodded.

In the past few days, they had trekked vast mountains, crossed rivers, waded swamps and passed boundless deserts, where they noticed many shocking changes.

Some primitive land suddenly split open with huge ravines and abyss, and an eerie, black mist rose into the air, turning day into night.

Some mountain ranges lit up with flashes of lightning and loud clapping thunder like an unprecedented disaster was about to fall upon the world.

In fact, some areas were completely torn apart by aeth qi, turning into turbulent space that stretched across the world.

All things in the world also started to change at a much quicker rate. Lin Xun and the others watched a bare mountain peak with not a blade of grass growing on it suddenly glow with incredible life force. It became swathed in rosy clouds and surrounded by plants and trees growing wildly, transforming into a spiritual mountain at a speed visible to the naked eye!

This was an earthshaking change that affected the entire Ancient Wasteland Domain.

But the shocking changes were accompanied by horrific bloodshed!

As aeth qi grew stronger and stronger in the world and the number of spiritual mountains increased day by day, medicinal herbs, rare treasures, precious ingredients and divine materials that had gone extinct appeared in different areas across the Ancient Wasteland Domain like mushrooms springing up after rain.

Spiritual mountains could be constructed into a blessed land and used as the base of a clan or sect.

Medicinal herbs, precious ingredients, and divine materials were invaluable resources for cultivation!

As the world changed at an astonishing speed, not only the cultivators but also the major ancient sects and clans could not sit still and began to launch operations to seize and occupy the ownerless spiritual mountains and treasures.

Cultivators fought and killed one another for treasures.

Ancient sects and clans clashed and sparked war in the process of expanding their territories and seizing cultivation resources.

Along the way, Lin Xun and the others saw many areas swept with carnage and bloodshed.

The entire world was filled with clouds of smoke and violent conflicts, no longer as peaceful as in the past.

Everything was a result of the strange changes in the world!

“The great age is a time of chaos and will destroy and alter the previous order and structure of the Ancient Wasteland Domain.”

Toady sighed, “This world is bound to be plunged into turmoil and unrest, where rise and destruction exist side by side, creating an unprecedented and splendid great age!”

“The world is already in chaos before the great age has come. I can’t imagine what it will be like when it truly arrives.” A’lu sighed emotionally for a rare moment.

It seemed that everything he had witnessed in the past days affected him deeply.

“What it would be like? Of course a splendid flourishing age will coexist with a chaotic and turbulent age. Only the true strong experts can rise amidst the flames of war, excel above the others, and lead the great age!” Toady said proudly, “Of course, whoever wants to lead the great age has to ask if I agree first!”

His first sentence made a lot of sense, but what followed immediately exposed his boastful nature again, which made A’lu roll his eyes and look at him with disgust.

Lin Xun was about to say something when his eyes suddenly narrowed.

In the far distance, among the endless mountains and ranges of peaks and ridges stood an unusual tree much taller than the rest!

Its crown towered into the sky like an umbrella obscuring the sky, its branches were like the spikes of a mighty dragon, its leaves were as big as the clouds drifting in the sky, and its body was as red as if it was aflame.

The nearby mountain peaks could not block even its trunk.

“Damn it, that’s a Scarlet Cloud Sacred Tree! It is extremely rare even in ancient times!” Toady cried out.

“Hey, it is still growing.” A’lu widened his eyes.

The branches and leaves of the tree rattled as the tremendous tree swayed in the mountains like a dragon rising higher and higher into the air as if to tear the sky and soar beyond the universe!

Lin Xun sharply sensed that the tree had its own life and intelligence. It was undergoing a drastic transformation and extending its lifespan.

Rumble!

However, just as the tree was about to pierce the dome of the sky, a thick, blinding lightning bolt struck down from above.

A heavenly punishment!

Instantly, the tree suffered heavy damage. Its branches snapped and were incinerated into ashes. Even its trunk, which was taller than the mountains, was torched and shaking violently under the lightning tribulation.

From afar, it looked like an unrivaled expert was faced with a catastrophe, hovering between life and death.

Snap!

In the end, the sacred tree failed to survive the tribulation. The blade-like lightning bolt had severed its trunk into two halves.

Strangely, one half of the broken trunk was withering and scorched black, but the other half was glowing brilliantly, enveloped in the incomparable vitality of the lightning tribulation.

“One withered and one thrived, it’s the wonder of life and death. It’s unfortunate that it was only one step away from successfully overcoming the tribulation and becoming a king!” Lin Xun sighed.

“What are you waiting for? Take action quickly! That’s a divine tree struck by lightning. The destruction gave birth to a ray of great dao life force within it, which is of immeasurable value!” Toady breathed heavily, his eyes gleaming covetously.

With a swoosh, he sped forward.

Lin Xun and A’lu quickly followed him.

The Scarlet Cloud Sacred Tree was originally rooted in a canyon, but the canyon had already been wiped out by the lightning, leaving charred remains and destruction.

A good half of the tree trunk had been reduced to ashes in the lightning disaster and only some broken branches and leaves were scattered across the ground.

When Lin Xun and the others arrived, they immediately spotted, among the ashes on the ground, a shimmering piece of wood. It was only a foot long and the thickness of an arm.

But it was as bright red as fire and emitted incomparable vitality!

“The deathly air has dissipated, leaving the pure origin energy that transformed in the disaster. Even Saints would covet that!” Toady almost drooled.

As a descendant of the Three-Legged Golden Toad Clan. He was familiar with all things in the world and could identify ancient and modern treasures. From one glance, he knew the value of this piece of wood.

However, just when he was about to take action, Lin Xun held him back and whispered, “Be careful!”

Toady looked at him blankly.

The fiery-red wood of the sacred tree suddenly lit up with divine brilliance and slowly transformed into a girl!

She had bright eyes, pearly white teeth, and a captivating sweet smile. Her long, silky red hair was rolled up in a bun and secured with a branch. Her graceful and slender body was wrapped in a huge flaming-red leaf, revealing only her fair lower legs and bare feet.

She looked very young, around only fifteen to sixteen years old. Her soft, snow-white skin was imbued with gentle wisps of rosy clouds, and a strange fire symbol was glowing between her eyebrows.

“Little elder brothers, what are you doing?” she asked with a sweet smile as she stood with her little hands behind her back and blinked her charming eyes.
