The Prodigies War
chapter-1693

The Kunlun Dominion was going to open in ten days!

A’hu had come to take Lin Xun with her.

Lin Xun agreed right away.

Half a year had passed since he razed Sunset Current Valley to the ground. During this period, he had been lying low on Star Chess Sea to improve his cultivation. He had long tempered his powers of the initial Big Saint Stage to a stable and solid state.

Moreover, by comprehending the Great Diffusion Void Breaker Finger, he grasped a touch of the secrets of space laws. He only needed to continue to study and polish his cultivation and soon he would be able to master the new power unique to the Big Saint Stage.

Toady, A’lu, Little Silver, Little Sky and the big black bird, who had all originally planned to break through to the supreme Big Saint Stage before the opening of the Kunlun Dominion, all failed to do so.

This was not because they had not worked hard enough, but because in the pursuit of the Saint Dao, an opportunity for breakthrough was just as important as diligence.

Right now, Toady and the others all lacked a breakthrough opportunity.

According to A’hu, once they entered the Kunlun Dominion, they would be given plenty of opportunities that would help them breakthrough to the next cultivation level.

This was because the Kunlun Dominion was naturally abundant in unimaginable, supreme fortunes!

However, if they were to enter the Kunlun Dominion before reaching the supreme Big Saint Stage, then there was a high chance of them running into unforeseeable dangers.

Knowing this, Lin Xun unhesitatingly made the decision to hide Toady and the others in the Dao Endless Pagoda.

This arrangement would mean that even if dangers came their way in the Kunlun Dominion, Lin Xun would be the only one who had to face it.

“Senior…” Su Bai was broken-hearted to learn about Lin Xun’s plan to leave.

After several months of training, the young man in straw sandals had visibly changed. He now looked dashing and bright-eyed.

“I have compiled some arts and divine herbs for you to restore your innate power. Whether you succeed or not depends entirely on yourself.”

Lin Xun handed Su Bai a storage bag, and after a thought, he added, “One day, when you head out to the outside world to gain experience, you should always stay true to your heart. Only fight when you need to and retreat when you should. Ultimately, you have to rely on yourself to figure out and solve the difficulties and obstacles that block your cultivation path.”

Su Bai nodded fiercely, keeping everything Lin Xun said in mind.

Lin Xun clapped the boy’s slim shoulders, turned around, and left without saying anything else.

This day, Lin Xun and A’hu left Star Chess Sea and headed for Kunlun Dominion!

The youngster shod in straw sandals watched their departing figures as they left, looking glum. His mind drifted off in thought and then he took the first sip of liquor in his life.

A burning sensation cut his throat like a knife. His face flushed, and he almost teared up.

He took a deep breath, and his young baby face bore a look of determination.

“Senior...you won’t be disappointed when we meet again!”

……

Lin Xun silently left the Ancient Wasteland Domain and did not inform anyone else of his departure.

However, the shores of Star Chess Sea occasionally still attracted many visitors and pilgrims.

……

The lower domain world, Ziyao Empire.

In the Rotating Stars Hibernating Moon House, Lone Man gazed at the sky with a tobacco pipe in his mouth. After a long period of silence, he chuckled out loud, “The Kunlun Dominion…one of the four great mysterious lands is about to appear in the world again...”

Beside him, the Heavenly Seer of the stargazing platform said pensively. ““Since ancient times, that place has given birth to many dao founders, and it is also called the birthplace of the great dao.”

A smile lurked in those eyes that were as clear and pure as a newborn’s.

“Every opening of the Kunlun Dominion signifies the upcoming birth of a supreme fortune. However, such a fortune relates to the ascension to the Emperor Stage or becoming a founder, and it is not something that anyone can receive.”

As Heavenly Seer spoke, the image of Lin Xun emerged in his mind. That little guy...he should have set off on his journey to the Kunlun Dominion, right?

Lone Man’s gaze turned complicated as he let out a sigh, “The Return Dominion contains all heavens and worlds. It comprises 3,900 worlds, and each one has its own cause and effect. That bizarre place has buried countless evil-minded Emperors over the years, and hence it is called the land of the ‘end of the great dao.’

“Kunlun, the birthplace of the great dao, is associated with both deadly disasters and good fortunes. Every time it opens, it attracts some of the most remarkable people in the world and the starry sky, but only one out of one thousand people can survive there. It is truly a land of great treasure and dangers, involving many causes and effects. It is definitely worthy of the title of ‘birthplace of the great dao.’

“The Fortune Dominion allows only entry of Emperor Stage experts, but it has only ever appeared once in the ancient times. Since then, it has never appeared again. The place is said to be half spirit world and half world of the living. It is an extremely mysterious place with the two realms coexisting.

“But if we were to talk about the most mysterious place then it has to be the All-Wonder Dominion. Only myths and legends of the All-Wonder Dominion are known to the world, and they are extremely vague. No one actually knows if it truly exists.

“These four great dao dominions contain all the secrets of the origin of the universe. Unfortunately, to this day, no one has ever explored all four dominions. It is really a pity.”

Lone Man pulled away from the tobacco pipe, smoke swirling around his face, and he seemed a little down.

Heavenly Seer of the stargazing platform said aloud, “Speaking of which, Lin Xun is rather interesting. When he was young, he entered the Deva Secret Domain of the Return Dominion. This time he will definitely go to the Kunlun Dominion. I wonder if he will also have the opportunity to visit the Fortune Dominion and the All-Wonder Dominion in the future.”

Lone Man sneered, “Don’t think too highly of that kid. There is no lack of genius talents like him in the Ancient Nebula Road. I am more curious about how he will fight against those geniuses when he goes to the Kunlun Dominion.”

“That’s not something we can worry about.” Heavenly Seer said, “But...that boy never lets anyone down.”

Lone Man did not answer and just silently smoked his pipe.

……

The Grand Universe Ark flew across the vast and empty sky at such an incredible speed that the scenery and surroundings were distorted and blurred.

On the boat, A’hu was talking to Lin Xun.

“Since ancient times, the Kunlun Dominion only opens every once in a while, but cultivators were only allowed to explore its peripheries.

“But every time following the Conflict of the Nine Domains, the Kunlun Dominion will open up completely to the outside world, and its true core area will also be revealed.

“This time is no exception. But Brother Lin, I must remind you that you and I both hold a Flying Immortal Tablet. After we enter the Kunlun Dominion, the Flying Immortal Tablet will allow us to avoid some extremely dangerous areas and receive opportunities that others can’t.

“But this also means that we will be targeted by the powerful figures from the Ancient Nebula Road, who will try to snatch our Flying Immortal Tablets from us.”

Lin Xun raised his brows. “Those guys from the Ancient Nebula Road don’t have Flying Immortal Tablets?”

A’hu nodded. “It is a benefit bestowed from the Conflict of the Nine Domains. Even the Ancient Nebula Road does not have such a blessing.

“After the two previous Conflicts of the Nine Domains ended, a few foreign race cultivators headed to the Kunlun Dominion with a Flying Immortal Token in their hand, but in the end, they suffered great losses and had their Flying Immortal Tablet taken from them. They were taught a lesson that they would bear in their minds forever.”

Lin Xun nodded.

A’hu continued, “As far as I know, many successors of top major forces in the Ancient Nebula Road, including formidable characters listed on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings, will make a trip to the Kunlun Dominion this time.

“You must not underestimate the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings. The clans and sects in the Ancient Nebula Road are as mighty as the open sea, and the number of cultivators are as numerous as the stars in the sky. However, there are only a handful of Big Saints who can make it onto that list.

“All those characters are terrifying beings who have set foot onto the Supreme Path and possess unparalleled powers. Some are born Chosens and holy maidens, while others are monsters and geniuses with extraordinary talents and knowledge.

“Of course, Brother Lin, you should not think lightly of yourself. With your foundation and strength, you are already up there with those on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings.”

Lin Xun marveled to himself, The Ancient Nebula Road!

What kind of vast, boundless and sacred world is it? How can it give birth to so many amazing people?

In comparison, the Ancient Wasteland Domain indeed seemed lacking.

It was no wonder that Ao Zhentian and Yin Huan had invited Lin Xun to the Ancient Nebula Road, believing that the Ancient Wasteland Domain could no longer fulfill his cultivation needs.

Similarly, Xia Xiaochong’s father, Xia Xinglie, also said something similar before he left.

“Brother Lin, if nothing goes wrong, we will reach the Flying Immortal River within three days. It is located in a secret realm world and it is also one of the entrances into the Kunlun Dominion.”

A’hu explained, “Any cultivators from the Ancient Nebula Road who want to enter the Kunlun Dominion must pass through the Flying Immortal River.

“There are also some special intersections of broken worlds that provide entry into the Kunlun Dominion as long as one has the help of a Flying Immortal Tablet detecting the route and leading the way. However, although those paths lead to the Kunlun Dominion, most of them can’t enter the core area of the Kunlun Dominion.

“So, to be on the safe side, we will also travel to the Kunlun Dominion via the Flying Immortal River like the experts from the Ancient Nebula Road.”

A thought struck Lin Xun. In the Conflict of the Nine Domains, besides himself, A’lu, Toady, Little Silver and Zhao Jingxuan, Imperial Son Shaohao, Ruowu and others also held a Flying Immortal Tablet.

Would they also go to the Kunlun Dominion?

Lin Xun couldn’t help but ask, “Miss A’hu, do you know how big the Kunlun Dominion is?”

A’hu smiled. “No one in this world can answer that question, because to this day, no one has been able to measure how vast the Kunlun Dominion is.”

“I see.” Lin Xun nodded

One day later.

The Grand Universe Ark suddenly rushed out of a world barrier that was like a formless mass of chaos, and under A’hu’s skillful control, it sped into a void of seemingly nothingness.

It wasn’t until two days later that a loud rumble sounded from the far distance.

Lin Xun stood at the bow and surveyed the surroundings. At the end of the boundless emptiness hung a mighty river pouring down with force and power comparable to the Milky Way falling from the sky!

The white torrent rushed across the void and transformed into countless small streams that spread and flowed away.

Vast, mighty and spectacular, it gave the feeling of a majestic river from the cosmos running through the void.

“That’s the Flying Immortal River. It is said to originate from a holy spring in the Kunlun Dominion. The clear and turbid waters of the river blend together to flow in the void!”

A’hu’s clothes danced in the wind, and her beautiful eyes gleamed.
