The Prodigies War

Chapter 1670: Set off for Sunset Current Valley!

A few days later.

Bored, Toady was lying back on a boulder and staring into space.

Beside him, A’lu was sleeping soundly.

Little Silver was practicing his sword skills with Little Sky.

The big black bird was leaning lazily against his black pot and drinking.

“Toady, your big brother has been in closed-door cultivation for over a month already, so why hasn’t he come out yet? I have already thought of a good plan. When we get to the Sunset Current Valley, the first thing we need to do is to cut down the Sacred Fusang Tree!”

Perhaps the big black bird was too bored, he blabbered on, “This is a sacred tree that was already well-known in the primeval era. It was born from the source of the Samadhi True Fire and its leaves and branches flare up like fire. It towers into the sky and every one of its leaves is comparable to the great sun and has miraculous uses.

“There’s also the Clear Water of Crow’s Nest, a treasure specific to Sunset Current Valley. It is regarded as one of the best nine waters in the world. A drop of it is enough to instantly repair one’s spirit to its original state. Its effects are beyond amazing.

“Oh, now that I think about it, there seems to be a kind of Sacred Sun Stone found in the territory of those golden crows. They make excellent materials for crafting Saint armors.

“In the primeval era, before the Demon Crow Great Emperor ascended the dao, the Sacred Sun Armor that he wore was also crafted from those stones. It was strong enough to protect against the full-strength attack of a Big Saint. Such defense power is incredibly rare in the world.”

The big black bird drooled as he listed all the treasures that he could think of, and his eyes sparkled covetously.

“Simply speaking, the Golden Crow Clan is steeped in years of history dating back to the primeval era. It has also accumulated an unimaginable number of treasures over the years.”

Toady cast a glance at the big black bird and sneered, “Look at your face. We haven’t even set off to Sunset Current Valley, but you’re already planning to seize all their fortune. You’re so cruel.”

“Well, in the cultivation of the great dao, wealth and fortune is the most important and they always come first. Soon, you will understand. It is only when you need money that you will regret not acquiring enough of it.” The big black bird sighed, “In ancient times, there was a powerful person who had the qualifications, background and ability to set foot into the Emperor Stage, but because his family was terribly poor, he lacked a decent treasure to aid him in overcoming the Emperor tribulation. As a result, he was killed under the power of the tribulation. Isn’t that tragic?

“If he had a powerful treasure to defend himself, would he have fallen? He would have transformed into an Emperor cultivator and looked down upon the world while laughing!”

Toady looked at him doubtfully. “Really?”

The big black bird said disdainfully, “You are too ignorant. Now that we have all become Saints, the cultivation resources we require will be incredibly valuable and precious. Ordinary pills, elixirs, and aeth materials will simply not satisfy your needs.

“And the more precious the treasure, the rarer it is. If you don’t have any money then you should give up on cultivating. You likely won’t even be able to maintain your cultivation!

“You might not feel it now, but that’s because you have obtained a huge amount of cultivation resources from the Nine Domains Battlefield, which is enough for you to freely waste for a while. But as your cultivation improves, one day you will be stretched thin and face financial distress.

“Do you know why Emperor Stage cultivators rarely remain in the Ancient Wasteland Domain? It’s because the cultivation resources in the Ancient Wasteland Domain can not meet their cultivation needs!” sputtered the big black bird.

Toady burst out laughing, “You are just after the wealth of the Golden Crow Clan after all, but there’s no use getting impatient now, because my big brother is still in closed-door cultivation.”

The big black bird grumbled, “Don’t talk about your big brother! He said he wants to go to Sunset Current Valley, but he still hasn’t shown any action. It is making me so restless and uneasy. So damn annoying.”

Boom!

At that moment, a terrifying aura erupted from the wooden hut where Lin Xun was in closed-door cultivation, rushing straight up like a giant abyss swallowing up the sky.

Suddenly, the spirit power in the sea region gathered wildly towards that direction before being devoured by the huge abyss.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Soon, the devouring power grew increasingly aggressive and terrifying, until the sea water was exploding, the space was distorted, and the clouds in every direction were collapsing.

Toady and the big black bird froze.

A’lu, who was in deep sleep, jumped up, and Little Silver and Little Sky stopped abruptly.

They were all aghast.

Their clothes whipped violently around them, and they could barely keep their eyes open. Only after mobilizing all their strength were they able to forcibly stop themselves from being swept into the frightening devouring force.

“That…”

Everyone’s expression visibly changed. That aura was too domineering as if it was about to devour the sky, swallow the earth, and seize the power of the void as its own. Nothing could escape the force.

They felt an overwhelming sense of oppression, both physically and mentally.

Meanwhile, in the wooden hut, dazzling dao light roamed around Lin Xun as he took the form of a great abyss. He seemed to have become a spinning black hole deep in the void and was frantically drawing upon power from all directions!

A spine-chilling tyrannical aura spread outwards from him.

But soon, all those visions vanished without a trace.

Lin Xun paused his training and fell into deep thought.

Over the past few days, he had begun to grasp the profound secrets of the Great Endless Devour Scripture. He only had one thought about this inheritance art.

It is domineering beyond measure!

It treats the power of heaven and earth as its prey and swallows them for its own use. My body is endless, my dao is endless, and my arts are endless!

It was completely different from the Great Dao Furnace Art that Lin Xun created by combining all his cultivation.

The Great Dao Furnace Art could hold thousands of daos and practice all kinds of arts. It was like a great sea that all streams returned to, rather than a sea that actively swallowed up everything. It exhibited a kind of magnanimity in accommodating everything of the ages and embracing all within the four seas.

It had a subtle grace like a blooming flower emitting a beautiful aroma.

The Great Endless Devour Scripture was different. The core of this scripture was its ‘devouring,’ which was a kind of overbearing invasion and plunder!

As long as it was power that existed within the heavens, it could devour and refine it into its own power and thereby unleash a terrifying and boundless divine force.

In terms of combat power, the Great Endless Devour Scripture was clearly superior.

After all, it was a supreme inheritance that had fought alongside the Omega Lord in infinite battles, defeating every Emperor-level authority figure in the world.

As for the Great Dao Furnace Art, at least for now, it was just a dharma art created by Lin Xun. It was the foundation of his cultivation and its profound meaning had yet to be truly derived.

However, in terms of structure and form, the Great Dao Furnace Art was better!

Most importantly, it had a tremendous ‘capacity.’

The grand daos of all heavens, all arts of the world, everything could be integrated into the furnace.

When Lin Xun first crossed space to reach the Great Emperor Pass, Elder Yin had specially reminded Lin Xun not to reveal his newly created dharma art to anyone.

This was because this dharma art was one of a kind. It was not only powerful but also a taboo. Even old monsters of the Emperor Stage would form evil intent after having their eyes on the treasure!

Most importantly, Lin Xun was well aware that the birth of the Great Dao Furnace Art set off a strange and terrifying ‘tribulation.’

Based on this alone, the Great Endless Devour Scripture could not be compared with it.

Simply speaking, the Great Dao Furnace Art already had an unprecedented form when it was born. However, right now it was still in its initial state, and its power was limited to the Saint Stage.

Whereas the Great Endless Devour Scripture was a truly perfect and unparalleled inheritance art. Its power was terrifying and trumped all other arts. Moreover, its secrets involved the wonders of the Emperor Stage.

It was a true emperor dao art!

After realizing these differences, a bold idea came to Lin Xun’s mind—

Since the Great Dao Furnace Art can contain all daos in the world, would it be possible to incorporate the profound meaning of the Great Endless Devour Scripture with it?

If so, would the power and charm of the Great Dao Furnace Art undergo an extraordinary and earth-shaking transformation?

Thinking of this, Lin Xun felt his heart pounding in his chest.

He even had a strong urge to test his theory, but in the end he controlled his desire.

The Great Dao Furnace Art already contained the profound secrets of inheritances such as the Taixuan Sword Scripture, Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations, Heavenly Yuan Slash, Nine Heavenshaking Destructions Art and the Great Diffusion Void Breaker Finger.

He had yet to fully comprehend those arts. He would be biting off more than he could chew if he were to also integrate the Great Endless Devour Scripture into the furnace.

Moreover, his current understanding of the Great Dao Furnace Art was only very basic, and there were still many mysteries in it that he had yet to grasp.

It was not wise to try to incorporate this new inheritance into his own dharma art.

“The Big Saint Stage is vast and immeasurable, and is somewhat similar to my Great Dao Furnace Art. Perhaps I will try it again when I reach the Big Saint Stage…”

Lin Xun inhaled deeply and gave up on the strong impulse in his heart.

“Big Brother, are you coming out of closed-door cultivation?” Toady’s voice rang outside the wooden hut.

It was quickly followed by the urgent voice of the big black bird. “Kid, if you don’t go to Sunset Current Valley soon, I am going to go crazy!”

Lin Xun was speechless. He got up and opened the door.

Before he went into closed-door cultivation, he had indeed mentioned that he would go to the Sunset Current Valley once his session was over. Now, it was time.

“Hahaha, kid you finally came out.”

The big black bird’s eyes lit up. “Fantastic, go, let’s go and chop down that Sacred Fusang Tree of the Golden Crow Clan and make them know how strong us brothers are!”

Toady said in a worried voice, “Big Brother, can we do that with our current strength? Sunset Current Valley is a Hidden Holy Land, and the fact that the Golden Crow Clan has survived to this day from the primeval era means they should not be messed with.”

Lin Xun was unfazed and nodded reassuringly. “Don’t worry, I already have a plan in mind.”

“I don’t care about anything else. I will only listen to my brother.” A’lu grinned and walked over to Lin Xun in huge strides.

In the distance, Little Silver and Little Sky also looked over.

In the past month, they had been waiting for Lin Xun’s final decision.

Seeing this, Lin Xun happily motioned with his hand. “Let’s go!”

There was no need to say more. It was imperative that he make a trip to Sunset Current Valley, whether it was to rescue the weapon spirit of the No-Nonsense Bow or to get revenge.

It should be noted that a blood feud had already arisen between Lin Xun and the Golden Crow Clan back when he was in the Supreme Realm.

On this day, Lin Xun, who had been silent for a long while, left the Star Chess Sea with his group and headed to the territory of the Golden Crow Clan—

Sunset Current Valley!
