The Prodigies War

Chapter 1685: A Place to Pay Homage to

The nine divine arrows of the Great Yi Tribe were called Biluo, Huangquan, Moli, Quya, Jiguang, Pianyu, Wucui, Hunxi, and Shangxie.

The Biluo Arrow had been obtained from the Blood Kill Battlefield.

The Moli Arrow had been obtained from Xing Yitian, a descendant of the Lightning Wing Clan, when Lin Xun had first crossed the Boundary River to the East Victory World.

Over the years, these two divine arrows and the No-Nonsense Bow had worked together to help him kill numerous powerful enemies.

Even Lin Xun himself had not expected that he would obtain another two of the set, which were Jiguang and Pianyu, from Sunset Current Valley!

Moreover, it was a pair of divine arrows that complemented each other!

“Kid, they are my trophies. If you want them, shouldn’t you at least offer some treasures in exchange?!” yelped the big black bird.

With a smile, Lin Xun nonchalantly put away the two divine arrows and said, “If it wasn’t for me, how would you have had the chance to scavenge the Golden Crow Clan’s treasures? Toady, A’lu, if you two can make this thieving bird spit out all the things it swallowed, then I’ll give you each twenty percent.”

With that, he turned and walked away.

Toady and A’lu shared a glance before bursting into sinister laughter as they looked wolfishly at the big black bird. The latter shivered and started screaming like it was about to be subjected to an atrocity.

Lin Xun directly ignored it and didn’t look back.

He kept striding forward in the same direction that Shaohao, Ruowu, Yue Jianming, and the rest were approaching from.

In this operation, these friends had traveled from various corners of the world in order to fight alongside him even when it meant they would offend the Golden Crow Clan.

How could Lin Xun not be touched?

“Thank you, everyone. How about we have a drink here in Sunset Current Valley tonight?” suggested Lin Xun with a smile.

“Hahaha! Was waiting for you to say that.”

“Now wouldn’t that be refreshing?!”

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere became lively.

Shortly after, a banquet kicked off in Sunset Current Valley.

The crowd mingled and laughed, talking about the Great Dao, discussing world affairs, and making merry over wine.

Do enjoy life while in prime you run high; not to the moon just your empty cup ply.

Tonight, Lin Xun got drunk.

This banquet would later become known as the Great Dao Banquet of the Supremes by the later generations, a topic to be discussed enthusiastically.

In the years to come, the ruins of Sunset Current Valley would become a world-famous tourist spot that attracted cultivators from all walks of life to come visit.

……

The Golden Crow Clan had been annihilated, and Sunset Current Valley had been reduced to ruins!

When the news spread, it instantly sent the entire Ancient Wasteland Domain into an uproar.

Who would have thought that Lin Xun, the Number One of the Nine Domains Battlefield who had been quiet for half a year, would soundlessly become the center of attention once again.

The world was stirred and shaken.

“Heavens! Is this really true?”

Not to mention the average cultivator, even the major forces of the Ancient Wasteland Domain were knocked off their feet one after another.

The Golden Crow Clan was an ancient lineage that had existed since time unknown, inhabiting Sunset Current Valley. They could be considered a first-class behemoth in this world.

But now, it had been flattened by Lin Xun!

Who dared to believe it?

“Impossible. According to the news, he has become a supreme Big Saint, but even so, that’s still no match for a whole ancient clan!”

“There must be a powerful expert aiding him!”

“Damn it! Doesn’t this mean that he’s already grown to the point where he can threaten all the ancient lineages?”

Those great powers that had always loathed Lin Xun panicked, their hearts trembling and their minds in disarray after hearing this piece of news.

When they had learned about him becoming the Number One of the Nine Domains Battlefield half a year ago, they still hadn’t feared him and had at best become wary of how fast he was growing.

But now, with the destruction of the Golden Crow Clan, they came to realize a shocking and cruel reality.

Lin Xun could now threaten the existence of their dao lineage and trample them under his foot.

This was just frightening!

“As expected of Demon God Lin. After this battle, I wonder if any ancient lineage in this world will dare to underestimate him again.”

Many cultivators, on the other hand, sighed and sang praises as they expressed their respect and admiration for Lin Xun.

Over the past several years, rumors about him had sprung up every so often, letting the cultivation world picture his step-by-step rise to prominence in the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

Everyone also knew full well how big the impact of the Golden Crow Clan’s destruction would be!

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that those forces that had been hostile to Lin Xun would have a hard time getting sleep at night.

All major clans would certainly change their attitudes toward Lin Xun. Those who still dared to show their disrespect would have to weigh the consequences and whether or not they could withstand it!

The impact of this matter was too great.

A large clan like the Golden Crow Clan could already represent the most powerful forces in the Ancient Wasteland Domain. Therefore, who could sit still knowing that it had been wiped out by a young man like Lin Xun?

“After this, who in the Ancient Wasteland Domain will be able to make him conceal his sharpness anymore? Who would dare to offend and provoke him anymore?”

The Saint experts of the various ancient lineages were all frightened. Chills ran down their spines as they realized the threat this posed.

“The most frightening thing is that he not only has a terrifying heritage and astounding battle prowess, but is also surrounded by many supreme True Saint friends who can die for him. For his sake, they dared to go to war directly with the Golden Crow Clan!”

“Alas, I’m afraid every power in the Ancient Wasteland Domain will have to live under his shadow moving forward…”

“Even when he was still a humble little cultivator who came from the lower world, he could already unhesitantly cause bloodshed and troubles everywhere without scruples, without any regards for anyone.”

“Now that he has become a big sun in the sky whose light drowns out everyone else’s, unmatchable and irreplaceable, perhaps…only those geniuses on the Ancient Nebula Road can suppress him…”

Sounds of discussion and lamentation rang out ceaselessly in all major regions and big cities of the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

The Windspeaker Clan, which was known for being well-informed, even selected some of Lin Xun’s past deeds, compiled them into a book, and spread them throughout the world. This pushed Lin Xun’s reputation to an unprecedented height.

He had gotten first at the Dao Lantern Festival.

He had reigned supreme on the Little Giants List.

In the Supreme Realm, he had been ranked first on the Genius Gold Rankings, dominating the pack.

In the Nine Domains Battlefield, he had taken the title of the Number One of the Nine Domains Battlefield, triumphing over history.

In addition to these, some of Lin Xun’s old stories were also rehashed, such as his grudge with Yun Qingbai, the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan, Sea Soul Clan, Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain, Mysterious Metropolis Sect, Heaven Axis Holy Land, Spirit Treasure Holy Land, and many other forces.

For a while, every populated area witnessed stories of Lin Xun being spread. Who in the world didn’t know him?

……

When the outside world was still in a flurry, Lin Xun along with Toady, A’lu, and the big black bird had already said goodbye to his friends before leaving Sunset Current Valley for Star Chess Sea.

The changes of the world and the storms surging within seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Inside a wooden house on an island on Star Chess Sea, Lin Xun was meditating.

During his travel to Sunset Current Valley, he had already captured the opportunity to advance. That was why he had been able to smoothly trigger the heavenly tribulation during the battle with Wu Hengzhen later on and break through to the next stage.

It had seemed easy, but it had only been possible after all the accumulation.

What others had seen was Lin Xun riding the heavenly tribulation effortlessly, not knowing how much work he had put into this breakthrough, and how much preparation he had made in advance!

No power had ever come by casually.

As per the ancient sages’ wise words, the word ‘easy’ did not exist in the eyes of true experts, for behind every dazzling glory was an unknown amount of effort.

Therefore, as soon as he had returned to Star Chess Sea, Lin Xun had immediately entered closed-door cultivation. The objective was to stabilize and temper his strength since he had just advanced not long ago.

The Big Saint stage was founded on the principle of ‘big but immeasurable.’

But as everyone already knew, the power that a cultivator could control was limited. On how to achieve ‘immeasurable’ power, the key lay in the word ‘space.’

Only when one reached the Big Saint stage would they have the qualifications to comprehend the grand dao of space.

For the current Lin Xun, his next path was to comprehend and master the profound mysteries of space as soon as possible.

“Omni-Finger and Close Yet Far from the Great Diffusion Void Breaker Finger are both imprinted with the profound meaning of space…

“Upon entering the Saint stage, the mastery of teleportation comes naturally.

“It’s just that, since I have virtually no understanding on the dao of space, I can’t control it directly and have no way to peer into the core nature of it.

“However, the Great Diffusion Void Breaker Finger as well as teleportation can be a good start to comprehending spatial power as quickly as possible…”

Lin Xun pondered on ways to improve while he meditated.

Only by mastering the power of space would he be able to create his Great Dao Field when he became a Saint-King, thus progressing further up on his quest for the Great Dao.

Without exaggeration, the Big Saint Stage focused fully on cultivating the power of space as it was the only way one could achieve ‘big but immeasurable’ power.

Lin Xun was currently at the initial Big Saint stage. Right after he had broken into this stage, all the grand dao in his arsenal had already transformed into Big Saint Law Power.

And it was a whole new level compared to in the past.

To take the simplest example, this meant that even True Saint old monsters who had lived for millenia would still have to address Lin Xun as ‘senior’ when facing him!

Toady, A’lu, and the others had also gone into seclusion and cultivated hard after their return. The fact that Lin Xun had become a supreme Big Saint had given them quite the stimulation. They were afraid to be left behind and wanted to be able to catch up with his pace.

Therefore, they were all determined to break through to the Big Saint Stage before setting out to the Kunlun Dominion.

Even Little Silver and Little Sky were working harder and harder.

The only lazy one was the big black bird. To be exact, it had almost never practiced hard.

Ever since returning to Star Chess Sea, it had either been sleeping soundly or flying to who knew where for three to five days. No one could tell from the bird’s mysterious act what it was busy with.

Time passed in this calm but rich and busy life. All the things happening in the outside world did not reach them at all.

Before they realized it, half a year had gone by.

During this period, the news of Lin Xun’s secluded cultivation in Star Chess Sea had somehow got out, attracting a stream of cultivators to the area.

A mountain needed not be high to gain its fame when it was a god’s dwelling. Such was the case with Star Chess Sea, which was originally a dangerous region that few dared to cross.

But when word spread that Lin Xun was residing here, it became a place to pay homage to in the hearts of many cultivators!
