The Prodigies War
chapter-609

The roar of the nine mountains attracted everyone’s attention.

Someone cried out, “Look, nine stone cauldrons have emerged together!”

An ancient stone cauldron was suspended above each of the ancient halls on the nine mountains, sprinkling a shower of divine dao light upon the world.

“What is about to happen?”

Everyone stared in amazement at the ancient stone cauldrons, knowing that the bizarre change had to represent something.

As expected, the next scene stunned all cultivators. Their eyes went wide, and their faces were skewed with disbelief.

The nine stone cauldrons moved into formation, creating a grand and ancient training ground in the air!

The training ground gave off an aura of antiquity, as though it had been standing since ancient times.

Its most noticeable feature was the jade records sitting on a praying mat in the center because it was glowing with golden dao light!

The jade records’ glow was so dazzling that even the praying mat, training ground and air took on a golden hue.

It even had a splendid, sacred and everlasting aura!

Jade Records Gold Book!

All the cultivators at the foot of the mountain salivated when they saw the book. Their breathing became heavy and rapid, and their eyes were filled with longing.

The dao light emitting from the Jade Records Gold Book could illuminate mountains and rivers, and its sacred aura could mesmerize everyone!

Undoubtedly, the book had to be the most mysterious, supreme and precious treasure of the place.

It was hard to believe that it appeared.

Cultivators who made it to the top of the nine mountains had already obtained some opportunities. Who would have thought that a greater treasure would appear before them just as they thought that everything was coming to an end?

“Argh!”

“The Jade Records Gold Book is so sacred. It has to be the most supreme inheritance here, but unfortunately, we won’t have the chance to get our hands on it!”

“Why? Why is this happening?” Many cultivators beat their chests in fury.

Even the cultivators who did obtain opportunities in the ancient hall were filled with bitterness.

The restriction power had forced them to the foot of the mountain. They could only watch the unmatched opportunity appear before them, but had no chance to fight for it.

It was torture!

However, for Su Xingfeng and the others, the scene hit them like a club. Their heads spun, and they felt so aggrieved that they almost vomited blood.

If they had known that such a rare opportunity as the Jade Records Gold Book was hidden on the mountain, would they have chosen to deal with Lin Xun earlier?

Unfortunately, it was too late to regret it. They could only watch with jealousy from afar.

As for Xiao Ran, he became more and more silent and still. His expression was frozen, his fists were clenched tight, his veins were bulging on the back of his hands, and his fingertips almost sank deeply into his palms.

He was doing everything he could to keep his emotions under control, suppressing all the feelings of frustration, bitterness and disappointment.

“Look, the kid is here!” Toady’s eyes lit up with excitement. He noticed figures emerging from the training grounds in the sky. Among them was Lin Xun.

“It seems like they persisted until the end in the ancient hall, which means they have obtained some kind of recognition. Thus, they are allowed to step into the training ground and compete for the Jade Records Gold Book,” Zhao Jingxuan muttered softly. Her beautiful face was alight with amazement. Apparently, she found Lin Xun’s performance unbelievable.

“It is our Saint Niu Tuntian! Hahaha, this blessing belongs to our Herculean Demon Bull Clan!”

Cheers from the cultivators of the Herculean Demon Bull Clan erupted from the audience.

Every one of them was cheering with exhilaration.

They saw Niu Tuntian’s mighty figure emerging in the arena, full of power and might.

“Meng Lianqing, the saint of our clan, is also here. It is still not certain who will win the blessing!”

“Hmph! Don’t forget about my Mysterious Ao Clan!”

“Haha, the Saint of our Cloud Hou Clan won’t miss out on such a great blessing.”

The experts of the Golden Luan Clan, Mysterious Ao Clan, Cloud Hou Clan and other clans roared out loud, turning the atmosphere tense and hostile.

The cultivators of the other clans could only watch bitterly and helplessly.

Five figures emerged in the ancient training ground built above the mountain peak. They were Lin Xun, Niu Tuntian, Meng Lianqing, Xuan Luozi and Kong Xiu. The five had been acknowledged in the enlightenment process and earned the qualification to enter the ancient training grounds!

In other words, one of the five would obtain the Jade Records Gold Book!

The rest of the people hadn’t earned the qualification to compete and could only watch from afar. Imaginably, the feeling was frustrating and maddening.

A cultivator couldn’t stand it any longer and sneered out aloud, “Hey, don’t forget that the young demon god of the human race is also in the training ground! The others will have to take him down first if they want the Jade Records Gold Book!”

His words caused an uproar.

Someone believed that anyone who dared to disregard the young demon god of the human race was doomed!

Naturally, the experts of the Herculean Demon Bull Clan, Golden Luan Clan, Cloud Hou Clan and Mysterious Ao Clan all bellowed in discontent.

”The human race youngster is nothing. Is he worthy of being compared with our Saint Niu Tuntian?”

”Hmph! The title young demon god is an exaggeration. He hasn’t met the Saintess of our Golden Luan Clan. Otherwise, he would have been killed long ago.”

“Let’s see if the human race boy dares to compete with the Saint of our Cloud Hou Clan. He will die an ugly death if he does!”

“The Saint of our Mysterious Ao Clan has never met an opponent that he couldn’t defeat. You guys are insulting our Saint by comparing him to a human race boy. Apologize now!”

A clamor of rage burst from the cultivators.

“The situation doesn’t look good for Lin Xun. What do you think his chance of winning is?” Zhao Jingxuan’s face scrunched up in worry.

Toady stroked his chin ruminatively. “As long as they don’t join forces, no one can injure that kid.”

“Nonsense.” Zhao Jingxuan glared at him. She knew that it was difficult to make a judgment before the battle began, but she was certain that the brawl would be dangerous and tragic once it broke out.

It was hard to say whose hands the Jade Records Gold Book would eventually fall into.

After all, the five cultivators in the ancient training grounds were all top peerless figures with extraordinary talents, outstanding achievements, and illustrious reputations.

Therefore, no one could predict who would win or lose in a showdown.

……

While scenes of uproar constantly broke out from the foot of the mountain, Lin Xun, Niu Tuntian, Meng Lianqing, Kong Xiu and Xuan Luozi turned to face each other.

The training ground was ancient and solemn, bathed in a brilliant golden glow.

At the same time, their gazes were locked on the Jade Records Gold Book in the center of the training grounds, drawn by the sacred and majestic gold dao light flowing around it.

However, they were still very cautious and guarded because they knew that they had to defeat their opponents first to win the treasure.

“There is only one book. The strongest of us four will get the treasure!” Niu Tuntian said aloud, his voice akin to a muffled rumble of thunder.

His entire body was shrouded in threatening and domineering black light.

He suddenly turned his head towards Lin Xun, ”As for you, you are just a human boy, you are not qualified to fight. If you want to live then just stay there and watch!” His voice was resounding and tinged with murderous intent.

He kicked Lin Xun out of the game with one sentence.

“Everyone, what do you think?” He swept a glance over the other three before checking if Lin Xun agreed.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes, irritated by his domineering attitude.

“All right, us four will fight then.” Xuan Luozi clasped his hands behind his back, his sky-blue hair fluttering behind him and his eyes glinting like unrivaled sharp blades.

“It seems like I have no choice but to agree.” Kong Xiu shrugged his shoulders, flashes of lightning surging up in his eyes.

“Do you think this friend will obediently cooperate with us and voluntarily give up?” Meng Lianqing, Saintess of the Golden Luan Clan, glanced at Lin Xun.

“If he doesn’t…we will just kill him.” Niu Tuntian’s eyes flashed with contempt.

“In my opinion, it’s better to get rid of this friend first and then we shall compete. What do you think?” Meng Lianqing uttered indifferently with a slight smile. Golden lights flared around her, adding to her terrifying strong aura.

Her suggestion clearly tempted Niu Tuntian, Kong Xiu and Xuan Luozi as their gazes turned ice-cold when they looked at Lin Xun.

Lin Xun suddenly moved towards the center of the training grounds.

“I told you to stand there obediently. Since you refuse to listen, I will send you on your way now!” Niu Tuntian thundered.

With a flash, he charged towards Lin Xun. His gaze was cold and ruthless and his hair was loose and disheveled.

Boom!

He swung up a brilliant golden trident with great force, crushing the surrounding space.

Swoosh!

Lin Xun vanished from the spot, and then he reappeared on the other side of the training ground. “Stupid bull, don’t force me to kill you!”

He knew it wasn’t the time to act humble or low-profile.

“Are you talking to me?” Niu Tuntian stared at him blankly, almost couldn’t believe what he heard.

It was the first time that a human dared to talk to him in such a way. Lin Xun treated him like an animal waiting to be slaughtered.

“You’re a fart!”

Lin Xun turned around and again sped to the center of the training grounds.
