The Prodigies War
-
chapter-1762
Why did the Earth Treasury Realm regard Lin Xun as a heretic who they must exterminate?
On one hand, it was because of a piece of Bodhi wood that sealed within a taboo power, but more importantly, it was the Great Treasury Silent Scripture in Lin Xun’s possession!
For example, Lin Xun had been able to see through Ku Du’s escape art by using one of the techniques in the Great Treasury Silent Scripture.
Silence reigned as Zhuanyu Heng, Tang Su, Nie Jianchen, and the others were still shocked in their hearts.
They had all recognized the identities of Sha Liuqing and Ku Du, but it was unexpected to find out that Lin Xun was targeted by them.Those were the disciples of two of the Three Dark Giants!
Being targeted by them meant there would be endless trouble.
Realizing this, Tuo Chenghai, who had been so frustrated that he wanted to vomit blood, once again felt a surge of pleasure and schadenfreude.
He was well-informed on the fact that numerous disciples and descendants of the Great Six Courts and the Great Ten Battle Clans had died at Lin Xun’s hands in the Kunlun Dominion.
Examples included Yan Chunjun, Lu Ang, Gu Cangxin, Tao Jianxing, Kun Jiulin, Xu Lingkun, and Wen Qingxue…all of whom were renowned top elites.
Aside from them, at least several hundred other cultivators had been killed by Lin Xun!
If this was publicized, which great power on the Ancient Nebula Road would be able to tolerate him?The fact that even the Ancient Nebula Underworld had their eyes on Lin Xun was undoubtedly adding insult to his injury!
As Ku Du had said earlier, unless Lin Xun wouldn’t ever set foot on the Ancient Nebula Road for the rest of his life, he would definitely face blows from various major organizations.
“That’s a big smile you have, does your face not hurt anymore?” said Lin Xun out of the blue as he looked over at Tuo Chenghai.
The latter’s expression froze and then turned livid. He shot to his feet. “Lin Xun, do you really think that I don’t dare to fight you?”
“Want to spar?” However, Tang Su’s expectant face was what he received.
Tuo Chenghai frowned so hard his forehead creased, and he nearly coughed up blood in anger.
“Huh!” exclaimed Zhuanyu Heng suddenly.
Following his gaze, the others saw that a Fengshan Dao Stele had risen to the same seventy-thousand-feet altitude as Zhuanyu Heng’s stele, and was even a little higher than the latter!
There was a commotion in the area as all eyes converged on the stunning figure on the five-colored altar.
Because the new Fengshan Dao Stele belonged to A’hu!
She was also the only one so far who had surpassed Zhuanyu Heng’s achievement!
“Since you don’t dare to fight Miss Tang Su, what about me?” A’hu’s clothes fluttered as she descended the dao altar with a smile.
She was graceful and elegant as her limpid eyes firmly locked on Tuo Chenghai.
“Hmph! I’m different from Lin Xun; I don’t bully women,” snorted Tuo Chenghai, who then sat back down with a gloomy face.
“Well?” A’hu gazed at Lin Xun, somewhat worried.
Although he had killed Sha Liuqing and Ku Du, their sudden appearance had still interrupted him from the state of finding his Saint Path Ritual.
“It’s fine,” replied Lin Xun nonchalantly. Crossing his arms behind his back, he looked up at the galaxy above.
But in his eyes, this piece of universe had become different.
No one knew that he had been able to take a peek at the birthplace of the Treasure Refining Origin Furnace during his deep perception.
And he had also obtained an unimaginable enlightenment!
“By the way, why did you choose to seal your Saint Path with the wishing power of all beings?” Lin Xun asked A’hu as he found this a little puzzling.
The wishing power of all living beings could indeed let one’s own power transform into that of a Sage and give them the ability to step into the Supreme Saint-King Stage in the future.
However, this path was relatively inferior to using the wishing power of the Great Dao!
Becoming a Sage through the wishing power of all beings also meant that the cultivator would be duty-bound to ensure the welfare of all beings, such as educating them with one’s knowledge and preaching one’s dao to the world.
It seemed simple, but in reality, it was not easy at all!
Moreover, when the cultivator decided against doing so, they would be subjected to the constraints of the wishing power of all beings, which would have a hugely negative impact on their cultivation in the future.
But if one chose the wishing power of the great dao to seal their Saint Path, then they wouldn’t be affected by this.
A’hu laughed, “This is already a good outcome for me as the great dao I seek isn’t at a level where it can make me a Sage. In the future, when I have the chance, I would like to start a sect and educate all living beings, teaching them the dao and opening them up to the truths in the world.”
Lin Xun inquired no more.
Such was the seeking for the great dao, everyone sought different things.
Buzz!
Soon, Hua Xingli also perceived his opportunity and ascended the five-colored altar.
Unlike Zhuanyu Heng, Nie Jianchen, and Tang Su, the power that triggered his Saint Path Ritual was a colossal dao beam!
And above him manifested the jarring vision of Three Thousand Demon Domains, Ten Thousand Spirits Tribulation!
“Sealing the Saint Path with the wishing power of the great dao!” Lin Xun’s gaze became focused.
Almost at the same time, there was a clamor in the area as everyone, including Zhuanyu Heng and Tang Su, were visibly shocked.
This was because Hua Xingli was the only one here so far who sealed his Saint Path with the wishing power of the great dao, making him stand out from the rest.
“Who would have thought? Hua Xingli actually created a brand new demon dao dharma and got the approval of the ritual power…” Zhuanyu Heng started to look at Hua Xingli differently.
The rest couldn’t remain calm either.
This was especially true when they proceeded to witness Hua Xingli’s Fengshan Dao Stele rocket upward at an astonishing speed, breaking all of their accomplishments in one go and arriving at the height of eighty thousand feet in the void
There was another gasp in the area as this achievement was no longer just amazing; it had overshadowed that of many predecessors who had once displayed their brilliance in this place!
“The All-Demon Dao Court now has one more remarkable character…” Even A’hu was startled.
Hua Xingli, who was ranked far below Xu Lingkun and Zhuanyu Heng on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings, was actually this dazzling in his Saint Path Ritual. This was something that no one had expected before.
“Brother Lin, you’re the only one left.” Hua Xingli stepped down from the five-colored altar. His hair was still snow-white, and his face still glowed with a sickly pale color.
However, his aura now carried a great majesty of someone who stood above the world.
The others also turned to Lin Xun.
Indeed, Lin Xun was the only one left among this batch on the Fengshan Platform who hadn’t perceived his Saint Path Ritual opportunity.
This put an odd look on everyone’s face.
To think that the overbearing and powerful Lin Xun just can’t seem to find his Saint Path Ritual. It cannot be that…the interference from Sha Liuqing and Ku Du really made this supreme opportunity slip past him?
Right at this moment, Lin Xun smiled and walked toward the five-colored altar in the distance.
His pace was leisurely, and he looked comfortable, as if he was taking a stroll in an empty yard.
But his casual action stunned the whole crowd.
What is he doing?
It was worth mentioning that no one could get close to the five-colored altar unless they had perceived their Saint Path Ritual!
This had long been tested and proved time and time again in the past.
Therefore, the fact that Lin Xun was heading for the five-colored altar while having not grasped his Saint Path Ritual opportunity gave everyone a strange feeling.
Tuo Chenghai couldn’t help but open his mouth, “Is this you being unable to accept reality, Lin Xun? But you have to know that there have been plenty of people like you in the past who arrived at the Fengshan Platform but couldn’t perceive the opportunity for their Saint Path Ritual!”
While this seemed like a reminder, the sarcastic flavor within made it obvious that he was making a joke out of Lin Xun.
A’hu frowned and didn’t say anything because she couldn’t tell what Lin Xun was trying to do either.
Zhuanyu Heng, Tang Su, Nie Jianchen, Qi Xianyu, and the others were all concerned with Lin Xun’s abnormal behavior, finding it confusing and incomprehensible.
Lin Xun blithely disregarded it all.
His mind was currently filled with a deafening dao sound that resembled that of a big bell ringing out.
“Treading the starry path, strolling up Kunlun!”
This single line of dao verse seemed to have a magical power as it broadcast the grandeur of the universe in its entirety in Lin Xun’s mind.
There was a huge flame vortex that was like a black hole. It transformed into a Treasure Refining Dao Source that surged with thousands of different dao flames and set the stars around on fire.
There was a boundless sea of stars and cold dark void of eternal silence.
And there was so much more.
Every scene and experience came from what Lin Xun had seen earlier through his spirit sense.
At the moment, they flowed through his mind like running water, without making a wave.
Let the universe be boundless and the stars amount to billions, let them hide all the mysteries of the Great Dao…
I will stroll at my own pace and rise with the current!
In a trance, Lin Xun saw a vague figure. They seemed to have also been here and strolled freely around the universe in the ancient past!
It was also at this moment that Lin Xun stepped onto the five-colored altar.
It was easy and casual as if he was walking on the plain ground.
The pupils of the onlookers abruptly shrunk. He…really got on?
This was simply unbelievable!
Previously, each and every one of them had tried to do so but had been blocked by a restrictive power emanating from the five-colored altar before they could even get close.
But now, Lin Xun had become an exception!
Ascending the altar, Lin Xun’s expression was still and peaceful. Only his black eyes revealed a touch of enlightenment and liberation.
He looked up at the starry vault above and waved up his right hand, making the palm face the sky.
“Grabbing the sun and moon with a sleeve, holding the heavens in the palm!”
The next dao verse echoed from the depths of his mind.
Reflected in his eyes, the vast and silent universe seemed to have shrunk by countless times.
“Huh?”
“That’s…”
“Heavens!”
Cries of alarm rang out in the field.
Unable to stay calm at what they were seeing, everyone revealed shocked expressions as they stared at the universe.
There were countless twinkling stars there, some radiant, some dim.
Previously, when any of them had perceived their Saint Path Ritual, one of those stars would turn into a stream of ritual power that dropped down and integrated into them, thus transforming them into a Sage.
But now, the countless stars in their field of vision were unleashing a brilliant glow. It was like a whole galaxy was cascading down from the universe!
The heavens seemed to be trembling as a blinding light bloomed and illuminated the whole void, blazing without equal. It was as though a miracle was being born.
The astounding scene took everyone’s breath away!
Even the many cultivators at the foot of Mount Kunlun who had no fate with the Fengshan Platform were alarmed, and they all looked up in unison.
Originally, the space above them had been filled with gray chaos qi, making it impossible to see anything.
But at this moment, a dazzling light was piercing through the chaos qi and lightning up the gray sky with its divinity!
The whole area was in an uproar. Everyone was dumbstruck. What’s happening on the Fengshan Platform?
