The Prodigies War

Chapter 1737: The Wishpower of Sentient Beings

Cangwu Mountain, Li Xuanwei, the Dao Immeasurable Bottle, the Dao Ruleless Bell…

Lin Xun was struck with the realization that the good fortune he had obtained at the Dao Lantern Festival back then was not a coincidence.

Li Xuanwei was a successor of Fangchun Mountain and the Dao Immeasurable Bottle he left behind was intended for his junior brother!

The Dao Immeasurable Bottle was an Emperor weapon born in Kunlun, but it was brought out of it by Senior Brother Li Xuanwei.

“How long ago did this happen?” asked Lin Xun.

“A very long time ago, maybe a hundred thousand years ago? I can’t say for sure,” responded the wisp of will of the Dao Ruleless Bell.

“That long ago…” Lin Xun mumbled in a trance.

Immediately, he realized a problem. “I remember that there was no bell among the nine Emperor weapons born from the Treasure Refining Furnace. Then who are you?”

The voice rang in Lin Xun’s mind again. “I am the Dao Ruleless Bell. Before the nine Emperor weapons came into being, I already existed in the Kunlun Dominion. Have you heard of the Three Forbidden?”

“The Treasure Refining Furnace was born on the Fengshan Platform, one of the three forbidden lands, and I was born in the Dao Subduer Cliff, also one of the three forbidden lands.”

The voice sounded again, “And where you are standing now was originally where the Dao Immeasurable Bottle was buried. Back then, Li Xuanwei also took the treasure away from here.”

Lin Xun finally understood, but then a frown came onto his face. “Was the Dao Ruleless Bell not the lifework of a group of Saints? Why do you say it was born on Dao Subduer Cliff?”

He had heard from A’hu that Dao Subduer Cliff was one of the three major forbidden lands in Kunlun. There, the origin power of myriad daos of the universe were suppressed!

The voice rang again, “Yes, those Saints have been to the Kunlun Dominion before. They were the first batch of Saints in the early primeval era. They came to Dao Subduer Cliff together, hoping to take advantage of the origin power of myriad daos of the universe to forge the best Saint weapons of the primeval times.

“But they greatly underestimated the dangers of the Dao Subduer Cliff, and in the end, they sacrificed their lives. However, despite their death, they ultimately succeeded.

“After countless years of nurturing from the origin power of myriad daos, my true body, the Dao Ruleless Bell was born.”

The truth stunned Lin Xun into silence.

The Dao Ruleless Bell was indeed the fruit of painstaking labor of a group of Saints, but it was also this treasure that caused the Saints to sacrifice their lives!

Lin Xun couldn’t help but wonder, “Apart from the Dao Immeasurable Bottle, what are the other eight Emperor weapons called?”

The voice replied, “The other eight Emperor weapons also share the word ‘dao’ in their names. They are called the Lifeless Seal, Formless Sword, Emptiness Plate, Structureless Flag, Skyless Spear, Lawless Blade, Flawless Armor and Blameless Lamp.”

The name Blameless Lamp sent Lin Xun’s heart pounding in his chest. Dao Blameless Lamp?

Back when Lin Xun was in the Underworld River Forbidden Zone, he once crossed a sea of blood and was given the Dao Blameless Lamp by a skeleton boatman.

The lamp was an ancient bronze shade and glowed a dim and illusory light, but it could guide the lost souls of cultivators back home!

Back when Lin Xun was in the Mulberry Woodland, he attracted a group of terrifying old monsters to follow him because he held that lamp. Later, the golden cicada young man used the lamp to guide those old monsters back home and allowed them to receive a sort of liberation.

Before leaving, the terrifying old monsters each gifted Lin Xun a token of gratitude.

For example, an ancestor from the Yu Emperor Clan, who was good friends with Ten Thousand Tribulation Great Emperor, gave Lin Xun a token engraved with the character ‘Yu.’

For example, the celestial phoenix skeleton gave Lin Xun a true feather from her clan.

In addition, he also received a seven-inch azure sword scabbard from a broken sword wielding skeleton giant from the Giant Que Clan.

He also received a fiery red leaf from the withered and scorched tree, whose real body was a Thousand Fire Tree.

He also had a string of sapphire bells from the fox skeleton from the Nine Orifice Divine Fox Clan.

There was also the snow-white fang from the snake skeleton of the Winged Sky Serpent Clan.

He also received a white shell from the old turtle skeleton from the Great Void Dragon Turtle Clan!

Lin Xun had kept those tokens of gratitude to this day.

Ultimately, he came across such blessings because of the Dao Blameless Lamp.

But he never thought that the Dao Blameless Lamp would actually be one of the nine Emperor weapons of Kunlun!

When he mentioned this, the voice immediately answered, “Correct, the Dao Blameless Lamp is one of the nine Emperor weapons.”

After receiving the confirmation, Lin Xun felt as if everything in life was already destined.

Who would have imagined that the Dao Immeasurable Bottle and Dao Blameless Lamp on him were part of the nine Emperor weapons of Kunlun?

“Little friend, after you leave the Kunlun Dominion, when you run into cultivators who also hold one of the nine Emperor weapons of Kunlun, you will sense a strange feeling.” The voice reminded him, “Similarly, the other party will also sense something. It is hard to say whether this is a blessing or a misfortune.”

Lin Xun felt a chill in his heart.

He held two of the nine Emperor weapons. If other cultivators learned about this, it could indeed be a blessing or a misfortune!

“Little friend, my powers are quickly fading. Time is running out. Before I go, I just want to tell you that among the nine Emperor weapons, only the Dao Immeasurable Bottle can bear the Power of Living Beings here.”

That voice sounded again, “This Power of Living Beings was accumulated by those Saints over countless years. I hope you can inherit and preserve the fruits of their lifetime of labor.

“One day, you can also use this Power of Living Beings to transform into a Sage, and even…to control my real body...”

The voice abruptly ceased and completely vanished.

Then—

Rumble!

The Worship of All Spirits carving on the stone wall suddenly glowed before turning into a powerful torrent of power and gushed out like a sea.

It was the wishpower of sentient beings!

This was the ultimate fortune that Lu Xuanji exhausted his abilities to get his hands on!

Lin Xun thought of the words left by the wisp of will of the Dao Ruleless Bell, and without hesitation took out the Dao Immeasurable Bottle.

Buzz—

The Dao Immeasurable Bottle produced strange ripples as the endless torrent of wishpower of sentient beings poured into the bottle.

It was like a crystal clear waterfall gushing into the bottle!

It was after a long while before the wishpower of sentient beings was emptied.

And on the stone wall, the Worship of All Spirits carving was completely gone.

Lin Xun weighed the Dao Immeasurable Bottle in his hand and found nothing unusual. But when he released his spirit sense into it, he could feel a rich and majestic wishpower aura spreading throughout it.

Hu—

He took several deep breaths to calm his emotions.

He then silently organized his thoughts.

A stone carving, the Worship of All Spirits, unexpectedly made him learn about many secrets.

The first secret was the origin of the Treasure Refining Furnace and the Dao Ruleless Bell. The former was born on the Fengchan Platform, one of the three forbidden lands, and the latter was born on Dao Suppressor Cliff, also one of the three forbidden lands.

The second was the secret of the nine Emperor weapons, including the Dao Immeasurable Bottle and the Dao Blameless Lamp. They were all born from the Treasure Refining Origin Furnace.

The third was the matters related to his Senior Brother Li Xuanwei from Fangchun Mountain, such as the opportunity at the Dao Lantern Festival on Cangwu Mountain.

The fourth was the Power of Living Beings and the difference between Saints and Sages!

In short, this incident made Lin Xun understand some things and figure out some past events. He also gained the Power of Living Beings. It could be said that he has had a great harvest.

At the same time, some things that puzzled him surged to his mind.

In the Peach Utopia Secret Realm, the Flat Peach Tree treasure was linked to his unruly senior brother of Fangchun Mountain.

The Imperial Dragon Mountain, one of the nine secrets of Kunlun, was also connected to his Senior Brother Li Xuanwei, also a successor of Fangchun Mountain, because of the Dao Immeasurable Bottle.

Before Lin Xun came to the Kunlun Dominion, A’hu gave him a strand of horsetail whisk that also pertained to the Fangchun Mountain sect!

How could he forget the dao verse in the Dao Endless Pagoda penned by the master of Fangchun Mountain?

The first verse read: ‘Treading the starry path, strolling up Kunlun.’

All these were somehow related to Fangchun Mountain and it made Lin Xun wonder how many more secrets of Fangchun Mountain were hidden in Kunlun Dominion.

……

“Brother Lin!” A voice snapped Lin Xun out of deep thought.

He looked up and saw that Mi Hengzhen, Ye Mohe, Chi Lingxiao and the others had regained consciousness and the chains around them had been removed.

Everyone was beaming with joy and gratitude.

Clearly, A’hu had already told them that it was Lin Xun who rescued them.

“Everyone, long time no see.” Lin Xun came over with a smile.

It was undoubtedly a joyful event to reunite with friends.

Lin Xun also released Little Golden Winged Dapeng King and Yuan Fatian from the pagoda. Gathered together again, everyone couldn’t help but sigh with deep emotions.

In the end, Lin Xun decided to temporarily place Mi Hengzhen and the others here to recuperate. Since they were badly wounded, they could run into dangers if they set off right away.

This area only allowed entry to those who held a Flying Immortal Tablet thus it was extremely safe.

No one objected.

After thinking about it, Lin Xun asked Little Silver, Little Sky, Toady, A’lu, and the big black bird to stay behind and suggested they start preparing to tackle the supreme Big Saint Stage.

Little Silver and the others had each obtained a Flat Peach, and with its magical effects, it could support them in their breakthrough.

Only then did Lin Xun feel at ease.

Dangers existed in every corner of the Kunlun Dominion. If he took Little Silver and the others with him, he was worried that they would be dragged into trouble.

Moreover, it was time for Little Silver and the others to breakthrough to the next cultivation stage. To avoid any disturbance and interference, it was best to let them stay here and train peacefully.

After making such arrangements, Lin Xun decided to leave. He had many questions in his mind, which he might be able to find answers to by continuing to explore the Kunlun Dominion!
