The Prodigies War

Chapter 1754 Ling Kezi's Dustless Buddha Heart

Swish!

Lin Xun felt the world sway almost unnoticeably as a peculiar feeling rose within him.

The same mountain trail stretched before him but was now covered in mottled ancient stone steps.

Chaos qi permeated the air as pure dao aura rushed against him, creating a mysterious pressure.

Lin Xun immediately tensed as if he were in a turbulent torrent of dao. The mysterious force directly assaulted his spirit, heart, and cultivation, and was impossible to avoid.

Swish~

It was only after circulating his aura that he managed to neutralize the mysterious force.

"Interesting..."

Lin Xun revealed a thoughtful expression.

Fengshan Trail wasn't simply a test of strength but required one to be sufficiently strong in spirit, heart, and cultivation.

In short, if any of the three areas were lacking, the challenger would not be able to withstand the mysterious force.

As if to confirm his speculation, Lin Xun began climbing the steps.

Sure enough, the mysterious force grew stronger as he ascended.

The raging torrent it resembled at the beginning gradually turned into a sea storm filled with dreadful oppressive force.

If the spirit can't withstand it, the consciousness will become befuddled.

If the heart can't withstand it, all kinds of illusions will appear that will attract various dangers.

If one's cultivation can't withstand it, one's qi will fall into disorder as if the dao is crushing you...

Lin Xun pondered as he climbed.

His black hair fluttered as he leisurely strolled up the stone steps with his hands behind his back.

This was Fengshan Trail!

Since time immemorial, countless dazzling, peerless, and famous figures of the Ancient Nebula Road had treaded its stone steps, leaving numerous legendary tales behind that were still talked about till this day.

However, only a small handful had succeeded in reaching the peak to stand before the Fengshan Platform.

Most experts were eliminated midway, failing to grasp the Fengshan opportunity.

Therefore, any cultivator who embarked on the Fengshan Trail would do their best while trying to be especially cautious.

The trail that was akin to a dangerous primordial beast to others was nothing but a breeze to Lin Xun.

It was because his cultivation, spirit, and heart had long been tempered to extraordinary levels.

Hence, the Fengshan Trail was neither difficult nor an obstacle for him.

While climbing the stairs, he even had the luxury of enjoying the scenery. It was a remarkable display of comfort and calm.

Soon after, a figure appeared in Lin Xun's sights.

It was a descendant of the Taowu Battle Clan who was dressed in a robe. His complexion was pale, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his eyes were wandering. It was clear that he was struggling.

"Tired?"

Lin Xun arrived beside the robed man.

The robed man instinctively replied, "I'm goddamn exhausted."

As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized that something was wrong. He suddenly stiffened as he exclaimed, "Lin Xun!?"

Lin Xun revealed a small smile and said, "I'm not tired."

The robed man was taken aback as his eyes widened in shock. He soon angrily roared as if he had been greatly humiliated and swung his palm at Lin Xun.

With a flick of his finger, a burst of sword qi shot out and pierced the robed man's forehead, causing him to stagger briefly before falling to the ground.

"Reckless fool."

Lin Xun shook his head and continued to advance.

"Who's there?"

Further ahead, a red-robed woman coldly shouted as she vigilantly turned her head. Her pupils couldn't help but shrink at the sight of Lin Xun walking towards her.

Lin Xun walked forward and asked, "Is there any grudge between us?"

The red-robed woman hurriedly shook her head.

Lin Xun acknowledged her response with a soft grunt as he walked past her and continued along the Fengshan Trail.

After his figure disappeared, the red-robed woman breathed a sigh of relief as a complicated expression emerged on her face.

The Fengshan Trail was so terrifying, yet Lin Xun appeared as if he were taking a stroll. The contrast between them was genuinely disheartening.

Rumble!

Soon after, a battle broke out.

Lin Xun had encountered several Panwu Dao Court disciples. If he wanted to progress, there was no option but to surpass them.

On the other hand, upon seeing their hated enemy appear, the Panwu Dao Court disciples naturally didn't hesitate to attack with their full force.

The outcome wasn't surprising. When Lin Xun departed, several bloody corpses were left on the stone steps.

Lin Xun met many more struggling cultivators on the Fengshan Trail.

Several of them were enemies who had participated in the attack on him at the foot of the mountain.

Lin Xun naturally didn't show mercy to these people and attacked them, leaving scenes of death and carnage behind.

At the same time, he also encountered many unfamiliar faces who reacted to his presence as if they had encountered a fearsome foe.

After all, Lin Xun was rumored to be a murderous and unscrupulous demon god. Who wouldn't be afraid of him?

To their surprise, however, Lin Xun ignored them from start to end and only struck aside those who blocked his path.

"It seems that Demon God Lin isn't a vicious and blood-thirsty murderer like he's described in the rumors."

"Maybe we're just not worth the attention in his eyes..."

"Alas, so many geniuses from the Ancient Nebula Road have come to the Kunlun Dominion, yet no one has been able to suppress his arrogance and momentum. How disappointing."

"Don't forget that Zhuanyu Heng and Xu Lingkun haven't made their moves yet!"

……

Various discussions began to emerge on the trail.

Some were jealous, some were hostile, and some felt defeated in the face of Lin Xun.

However, none of this affected him.

Although he was part of the last group to enter Fengshan Trail, he didn't encounter any obstacles. Despite his leisurely progress, he continued to surpass expert after expert.

Gradually, Lin Xun also began to feel some pressure.

The Fengshan Trail was akin to an impossibly long road leading to the sky. The trail was filled with only chaos qi and a mysterious dao power, making it appear dull and dry.

Lin Xun's aura rumbled as it circulated him, projecting various wonderful dao imagery as it resisted the increasingly dreadful pressure.

However, his pace remained steady and unhurried.

"So far, I've killed twenty-nine experts from the Panwu, Primordial, and Heaven and Earth Dao Courts as well as the Taowu, Blood Qilin, Heavenly Ghost, Qiongqi, and Red Sun Battle Clans..."

Lin Xun silently calculated.

The only surprising thing so far was that he had yet to see A'hu. Evidently, she was also quickly advancing through Fengshan Trail.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Lin Xun noticed an adorable-looking young monk seated on the stone steps while panting for breath.

The young man had an honest look and eyes that glimmered with intelligence and wit. He was initially stunned by the sight of Lin Xun before he quickly got up and moved to the side as if he were avoiding a snake or scorpion.

Lin Xun paused and stood there as he curiously asked, "There is no grievance between us. Why are you so afraid of me?"

He vaguely remembered that the monk was called Ling Kezi and was from Nanhua Ancient Temple.

The young monk appeared embarrassed. Afraid to look Lin Xun in the eye, the monk said in a small voice, "Dao Friend has strong cultivation and outstanding combat power. There's no one who isn't afraid of Dao Friend on the Fengshan Trail."

Lin Xun raised an eyebrow. "That isn't right."

The young monk trembled as if frightened. He stammered, "Master, this poor monk absolutely isn't lying."

Lin Xun couldn't help but chuckle. He pointed at the young monk and said, "I have met many people who are afraid of me on the trail, but you're somewhat different. You seem to be especially wary and afraid of me. Why is that?"

The young monk sweated profusely, unable to reply. He could only nervously turn the string of Buddhist beads in his hands.

The sight made Lin Xun speechless. Was he some heinous devil who would commit all evil?

"It's the first time I've met a Buddhist cultivator as timid as you."

He shook his head and continued to ascend.

"I'm not timid, it's you...your dao that is terrifying..."

Only after Lin Xun disappeared did the young monk called Ling Kezi finally exhale as if recovering from a huge fright.

He was born with a strange gift known as the Dustless Buddha Heart which allowed him certain insights that ordinary cultivators would never be able to see.

When he first saw Lin Xun at the Flying Immortal River, Ling Kezi saw a terrifying vision of the sky and everything else collapsing.

When he saw Lin Xun again on the trail, a different terrifying vision accompanied him.

Ling Kezi saw a god of slaughter walking alone amidst the void while the world crumbled and stars fell behind him, leaving everything barren.

It was as if he was the only eternal thing amidst the destruction!

The terrifying vision made Ling Kezi's Dustless Buddha Heart throb wildly as an endless chill filled his insides.

He had seen many peerless geniuses who were famed across the entire Ancient Nebula Road. These individuals were naturally accompanied by various 'visions.'

However, he had never seen a cultivator like Lin Xun who was accompanied by such a dreadful 'vision!'

This was why Ling Kezi had appeared incomparably nervous when facing Lin Xun earlier.

"After leaving the Kunlun Dominion and returning to the sect, I must ask teacher-uncle-ancestor why such an inconceivable person exists in this world..."

Ling Kezi took a deep breath and suppressed his loudly beating heart. After a long hesitation, he began to climb the steps again.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

A stick of incense later.

Lin Xun's brows gradually furrowed as a grave look appeared on his face.

The pressure was growing stronger!

However, there was still nothing but a path filled with chaos qi before him and no end in sight.

At this moment, the sound of battle was heard in the distance.

Lin Xun inwardly shivered as he took a deep breath. He circulated all of his power and quickened his pace.

The scene before him gradually became clearer.

"A’hu!"

Lin Xun's pupils shrank. He was finally able to make out the sight of A'hu being suppressed by a man!
