The Prodigies War
-
chapter-1800
Absolute Origin meant the origin of everything, ‘where all streams and all dao paths return to one.’ It was an imposing name for a sect to have.
But according to Yu Qingyang, the Absolute Origin Dao Court was the most low-key and mysterious among the Great Six Courts.
It had remained extremely secluded over its long history, with very few members ever seen walking the world. Therefore, most cultivators today would rarely mention this court.
Lin Xun was quite surprised. “If the Absolute Origin Dao Court has been lying low for so long, then how can it still remain among the ranks of the Great Six Courts?”
Yu Qingyang sighed, “Because only Emperor experts know how powerful an existence the Absolute Origin Dao Court is.“Rumor has it that this court doesn’t have many disciples, but each of them has the cultivation of the Emperor Stage!”
Like a sky-breaking stone, this information struck Lin Xun with disbelief.
Yu Qingyang said, “Every disciple being an Emperor is only ever possible in Absolute Origin. This saying has long been proven by time.”
Lin Xun gasped. “It’s just inconceivable…”
Yu Qingyang smiled. “This might be why they have so few disciples. Otherwise, not every member can become an Emperor.”
Lin Xun was speechless, then he had to ask, “Is the Absolute Origin Dao Court also located in the Great Primordial Chaos World?”
Yu Qingyang nodded. “Yes. Unlike the other five great courts, they keep themselves well hidden. No one else knows their exact location. In comparison, the Absolute Origin Dao Court is even more mysterious than the True Dragon Zone and Ancient Nebula Underworld.”Speaking of this, he couldn’t help but lament, “All members are Emperors, yet they are so low-profile, secluding themselves from the world. To this day, no one knows why they do this, and it has become a big mystery on the Ancient Nebula Road.”
For even a powerful Emperor like Yu Qingyang to be so sentimental about this, one could imagine how mysterious the Absolute Origin Dao Court was.
During the long chat, Lin Xun learned quite a few things.
Since the beginning of its existence, the Ancient Nebula Road was divided into three periods.
The primeval period, the ancient period, and the contemporary period!
Before the primeval period was the chaotic primordial period.
The primeval period had lasted for a hundred thousand years, following which was the ancient period.
From the ancient period to date was the contemporary period, during which a hundred thousand years had passed…
Upon the mention of this small detail, Yu Qingyang suddenly recalled something, “A very long time ago, an ancestor of the Mythical Huang Dao Court theorized that every one hundred thousand years, there would be an earth-shattering event that would completely transform the old and push everything into reincarnation, bringing about changes never before seen.
“For example, the end of the primeval period witnessed the outbreak of a Dao War of Ten Directions, which affected the entire Ancient Nebula Road and introduced the ancient period.
“Oh, and the Ancient Wasteland Domain, which was the origin of all dao paths, fell from grace precisely because of this war.”
Lin Xun’s pupils fiercely constricted after hearing this.
Dao War of Ten Directions!
The huge Ancient Wasteland Domain had gone on the decline because of this war?
He was instantly reminded of the three great tribulations shrouding the entire Ancient Wasteland Domain.
The Sever Dao Tribulation had robbed all its cultivators of the opportunity to become Emperors.
The Confinement Barrier had prevented them from exploring the space beyond, turning the entire Ancient Wasteland Domain into a cage.
And lastly, the Taboo Dao Tribulation had cut off its supreme path!
All of them were like a shackle tightly wrapping the Ancient Wasteland Domain until now!
When in Mulberry Woodland, Lin Xun had talked to the golden cicada youth about these three tribulations.
He still clearly remembered that the latter had said: “Why would the Ancient Wasteland Domain be shrouded in the power of three taboo tribulations after the primeval era? It’s simple. The three taboo tribulations come from the owner of this will law power!”
At the time, Lin Xun had felt horrified.
Who was this ‘owner’?
What kind of terrifying power did they possess to turn their will law power into the three great tribulations that would then envelop the entire Ancient Wasteland Domain, causing countless beings to feel as though they were in prison!
Moreover, this had trapped their domain for infinite years!
This was no doubt too terrifying.
Later, the golden cicada had said, “A person who is capable of orchestrating such a great catastrophe has to at least be esteemed at the Emperor Stage! It is taboo to state the name of an existence of that level, almost like a kind of blasphemy. You can call it the Nameless Esteemed Emperor.”
It was then that Lin Xun learned that the tribulation killing Saint Monk Duji and Black Phoenix Saint Queen had come from this Nameless Esteemed Emperor.
The forbidden power sealed in the dried-up Bodhi wood in his possession also came from this existence!
Yu Qingyang’s explanation was like a knife breaking the paper window in Lin Xun’s mind, letting the light of realization shed through it.
At the end of the primeval era, the Dao War of Ten Directions had broken out, causing the Ancient Wasteland Domain to fall from grace and marking the ancient era.
It was also at that time that the three taboo tribulations had shadowed the Ancient Wasteland Domain, lasting until this day.
To make an educated guess from this, the owner of these three tribulations, the Nameless Esteemed Emperor who had suppressed the Ancient Wasteland Domain for countless years with only their will law power, must have taken part in the Dao War of Ten Directions!
“I see… So that’s what happened…” Lin Xun finally understood.
Yu Qingyang didn’t know that his few words had allowed Lin Xun to realize so many things.
He continued, “The end of the ancient era was due to the outbreak of a Dao War of Emperors. Like the Dao War of Ten Directions, it introduced a new era, which is the current one.”
Lin Xun nodded.
He had done some research on the Dao War of Emperors. His ninth senior brother, Ge Yupu, and several other disciples of Fangchun Mountain had participated in this great war.
According to Ge Yupu, it had been a battle of dao paths, and the inner workings of it were extremely complicated.
At this point, Lin Xun was finally clear about how three major periods of primeval, ancient, and contemporary were divided. Each period had to undergo a hundred thousand years of ups and downs before coming to an end with a dao war that affected the entire world.
The Dao War of Ten Directions!
The Dao War of Emperors!
Lin Xun thought of something, “Senior, you just said that every one hundred thousand years, the world would see a shocking event that would transform the old and bring about reincarnation to all?”
Yu Qingyang nodded, his expression reticent. “Indeed. There will be no more than a thousand years left until this contemporary era reaches its 100,000th year… When that day comes, do you think there will be a war like the Dao War of Ten Directions and the Dao War of Emperors?”
Lin Xun’s heart trembled, his expression quickly shifting.
After a thousand years at most, will the current period have lasted for one hundred thousand years?
Yu Qingyang slowly said, “Of course, this is just some speculation on my part. Whether or not it will play out according to the prediction of that Mythical Huang Dao Court ancestor is still uncertain.”
With that, he raised his cup and shared a drink with Lin Xun.
After concluding their talk about the details known only to insiders, Yu Qingyang seemed to remember something. “Since you’re here, little friend, you might as well stay a while longer. I see that you’re about to break through, and right now there’s an opportunity that’s quite suitable for you.”
Lin Xun was stunned. “An opportunity?”
Yu Qingyang explained, “The Great Yu Secret Realm will open in less than a month, and when it does, all top figures of the nine worlds in the Ziheng Star Field will participate to compete for an opportunity in there. An opportunity related to building the foundation for the Saint-King Stage.”
