The Prodigies War

Chapter 1627: Visitors from Nebula

After recovering from the shock, Mister Miaoxuan did not question Lin Xun about his reason for insisting on heading to the Frontline Battlefield of the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

He only asked, “Do you have to go?”

Lin Xun nodded.

Back when Lin Xun was on the Blood Kill Battlefield of the Mulberry Woodland, he was urged by the golden cicada youth to bring to the Frontline Battlefield an ice-snow leaf that sealed within it a group of quasi-Emperors.

Now that Lin Xun believed that he had the background to head to the Frontline Battlefield of the Ancient Wasteland Domain, he planned to do just that as soon as he returned to the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

“Fine, I’ll arrange it for you.” Mister Miaoxuan no longer hesitated and agreed.

Lin Xun was already a supreme Saint who could create his own dharma art. Since he made the decision to do so, he had to have his own reason and needed no further reminders or advice.

“Thank you, Elder.” Lin Xun heaved a sigh of relief.

It was not easy to get to the Frontline Battlefield of the Ancient Wasteland Domain as it could only be reached through a special secret void portal.

Mister Miaoxuan reminded him, “One day later, I will open up the secret teleportation array for you. When you arrive at the Frontline Battlefield, you must go find my senior brother as soon as possible. With him taking care of you, danger will not come your way.”

Mister Miaoxuan’s senior brother was of course Mister Shen, an unfathomable expert who once taught Lin Xun the art of stone carving.

It would no doubt be a good thing to have Mister Shen look after him.

A servant boy with his hair in a double bun appeared outside the hall. He reported respectfully, “Sir, Miss Yin Huan and Young Master Ao are back.”

“They’re back? Invite them in.”

Mister Miaoxuan stood up and sent a voice transmission to Lin Xun at the same time, “Little friend, let me introduce you to two talents from the Ancient Nebula Road.

“One is Yin Huan, the saintess of the Divine Apparatus Profound Sect. She is ranked ninth on the Starry Sky Talented Beauty Rankings. A few years ago, she broke through to the Supreme Saint Stage and created her own dharma art called the Thousand Skies Great Void Seal. She has a highly respected reputation among the younger generation of the Ancient Nebula Road.

“The other is Ao Zhentian, who comes from the True Dragon Clan. He is even more remarkable. As a descendant of the True Dragon Clan, he has an incredible foundation and background. In my view, he already has an unrivaled elegance and splendor, and sooner or later, he will make it onto the Starry Sky True Saint Rankings.”

Those words sent Lin Xun’s heart pounding in his chest.

The fact that the two came from the Ancient Nebula Road was already incredible. After all, to the entire Ancient Wasteland Domain, the Ancient Nebula Road was a legend-like world established above the sky!

At least, as far as Lin Xun knew, only Emperor Stage cultivators of the Ancient Wasteland Domain could transcend the sky and reach the Ancient Nebula Road.

What surprised Lin Xun even more was that the two visitors from the Ancient Nebula Road were both extraordinary!

Yin Huan had created her own dharma art and Ao Zhentian was a pure-blooded descendant of the True Dragon Lineage. It was incredibly rare to find someone who could rival those two in the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

Through Mister Miaoxuan’s introduction, Lin Xun also learned some secrets.

For example, the Starry Sky Talented Beauty Rankings was occupied by only the most outstandingly talented fairies and divine maidens in the Ancient Nebula Road.

All of them had a foundation of at least the Supreme True Saint Stage. Adding to that, they were all exceptionally gorgeous. Whether it was in terms of talent, background, appearance or elegance, they were unparalleled in the world.

This was where the name ‘Talented Beauty’ came from.

Yin Huan had to be extraordinary to be ranked ninth on the Starry Sky Talented Beauty Rankings.

Of course, nothing was definite in this world. In this vast universe, it was not possible to rank all the extraordinary women onto one list.

However, undeniably none of the women on that ranking list was ordinary.

Moreover, the Divine Apparatus Profound Sect that Yin Huan belonged to was also not an ordinary sect, and it had a close connection to the Divine Apparatus Pavilion.

It was as though the Divine Apparatus Pavilion was a branch, and the Divine Apparatus Profound Sect was the official main sect!

As for the Starry Sky True Saint Rankings, which was also known as the Supreme True Saint Rankings, only those with unparalleled grace in the Ancient Nebula Road were qualified to compete for this ranking.

This ranking list had more weight than the Starry Sky Talented Beauty Rankings, and was closely monitored by the major forces of the Ancient Nebula Road.

Anyone who could make it onto the list was regarded as a Nebula Blazing Sun!

If Ao Zhentian already possessed the ability to compete on this ranking, then he certainly was no ordinary person.

However, for Lin Xun, all this was nothing but interesting news because he had not heard about those secrets before, so he felt far from astonished or shocked.

He had long been called invincible in the True Saint Stage, so psychologically, he did not feel ashamed about his own power and status.

Despite that, he was curious as to what business the two amazing talents had to come to the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

While he was thinking to himself, firm footsteps sounded outside the hall, before a man and a woman walked in side by side.

The man was tall and built, and had the dignified manner of a majestic dragon. He was dressed in a bright golden robe that was matched with a pair of cloud-pattern boots. His long hair was adorned with a decorative hairpin, and a pair of one-inch-long dragon horns protruded from the top of his smooth and shiny forehead.

As he stepped forward, a vast and boundless power spread outwards from him, as if a powerful ruler that commanded the wind and the sea had descended upon earth.

In particular, his eyes glinted like a pair of blades. The sharp light shooting out from his gaze seemed able to cut the throat.

Undoubtedly, it was Ao Zhentian, a pure-blooded descendant of the True Dragon Lineage!

Some people were clearly extraordinary and powerful from their appearance, just like Ao Zhentian.

However, his brilliance did not overshadow the charm and elegance of the woman standing beside him. In fact, anyone’s gaze would be drawn to her first.

The reason was very simple: she was as stunning as a fairy!

She was dressed in all white, with her silky black hair cascading down to her waist like a beautiful waterfall, tied only loosely by a red thread. Her bare face was as beautiful as glowing snow in the morning, and her skin was perfectly smooth and fair. She was a stunning beauty.

As she walked forward, wisps of mist swirled her body, adding an ethereal and graceful charm to her like a mysterious fairy.

However, her gaze was too cold. She seemed calm, but in truth, it was a detached indifference, and it gave her a superior and aloof feeling.

“Yin Huan, Seventh Prince, you’re back.”

Mister Miaoxuan greeted them with a smile.

“Greetings, Elder.”

“Greetings, Martial Uncle.”

Yin Huan and Ao Zhentian bowed one after another in a neither humble nor haughty manner. Even though Mister Miaoxuan was a quasi-Emperor, it seemed a common sight to them.

“Haha, I’m glad you two came. Please take a seat, I have a friend to introduce to you.” Mister Miaoxuan motioned the two to take a seat before signaling the servant boy to serve up tea. His manners were rather enthusiastic and friendly.

However, as soon as Ao Zhentian seated himself, he said with a chuckle, “Elder, once things are settled, I will have to return to the Ancient Nebula Road. I have no intention of making any friends.” He spoke indifferently and from the beginning to the end, he only exchanged a glance with Lin Xun. His restrained arrogance and pride were fully exposed in that casual sentence.

Mister Miaoxuan’s smile faded from his face, and he turned to look at Yin Huan.

Yin Huan picked up the teacup on the table and said, “Martial Uncle, Young Master Ao is not wrong. After all, we are not from the Ancient Wasteland Domain and will have to head back once the matter is over. Even if we make friends now, we won’t be able to see each other again. So, there’s not much significance to doing so and will only add to the complexity.” She cast a glance over at Lin Xun who was sitting across the hall. “Fellow daoist, what do you think?”

Her voice was as pleasant as the gentle clear cry of an oriole, but both her expression and tone of voice was cold and aloof.

Lin Xun was originally very curious about the heroes and geniuses from the Ancient Nebula Road, but their attitude immediately made him lose interest.

“You’re right; we only met by chance. There’s no need to force anything.” Lin Xun agreed.

His response took Yin Huan aback. She believed that Mister Miaoxuan introduced him to her in hopes of her giving guidance and support to Lin Xun. So, she viewed him as an insignificant character.

Unexpectedly, the other party was acting very indifferently towards her.

She shook her head and forgot about it. Over the years, she had had countless admirers, including renowned figures of the Ancient Nebula Road.

But without exception, she rejected them all.

She viewed Lin Xun’s indifferent behavior and attitude as posing, which was done deliberately to get her attention.

She had seen this kind of trick all too often.

Ao Zhentian sniggered and said with a playful smile, “It is fate to meet by chance. If I meet someone to my liking, then I wouldn’t mind getting to know them. Unfortunately, we are destined to meet but not fated to be together.”

The atmosphere in the hall visibly changed.

As the owner of the hall, how would Mister Miaoxuan not tell that neither Yin Huan nor Ao Zhentian attached any importance to Lin Xun?

He was also to blame. He was too impatient to help Lin Xun make friends in preparation for when he went to the Ancient Nebula Road.

He did not expect his plan to backfire.

Just as Mister Miaoxuan was about to explain, Lin Xun reassured him with a smile, “Elder, there is no need to force things that are not fated. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave now.” He swiftly got up.

In the past, the cultivators from the Ancient Wasteland Domain would look down upon cultivators from the lower domain world. Now, Ancient Wasteland Domain cultivators were being looked down upon by people from the Ancient Nebula Road.

This was actually quite normal, and many similar situations had happened not only in the cultivation world but also in ordinary life.

Even in the empire, ordinary citizens of the Forbidden City looked down upon people from other cities.

Lin Xun understood this, but that did not mean he could accept it.

Mister Miaoxuan sighed and did not dissuade Lin Xun from leaving. He ordered the servant boy to arrange a resting place for Lin Xun.

As for Ao Zhentian and Yin Huan, they never gave Lin Xun so much as a glance. He was an insignificant figure, how would they care about his departure?

“Martial Uncle, we have found out that the person Young Master Ao is looking for is now with a cultivator called Lin Xun.” Yin Huan spoke bluntly in the hall. “Do you know where Lin Xun is?

“Lin Xun?” Mister Miaoxuan looked surprised.

At the same time, Lin Xun, who had just stepped out of the hall, paused his footsteps and narrowed his dark eyes. Those two came to the Ancient Wasteland Domain from the Ancient Nebula Road to find someone?

And this person is with me?
