The Prodigies War

With these words, the purple-robed youth walked out of the room.

"Go go go, there's no time to lose. Those treasures are of such great origin that even Emperor Stage experts will drool at the sight of them."

The pretty young ladies in the room hurriedly followed.

One of the ladies playfully laughed as she passed Zique. "Zique, you're lucky the Young Master is in a good mood or you would have been in big trouble."

Zique only coldly snorted in response.

Truthfully, she had been so frightened that she had broken out in cold sweat earlier. Her heart had been hanging high in her chest, fearing that the Young Master would suddenly kill her out of nowhere.

After all, it had happened more than once in the past!

……

In the Grand Universe Ark headed to Xuanji Dao Sect.

"Seng Yuandu."

"Your surname is Seng?" [1]

"Yes, my ancestor was a well-traveled monk who possessed profound knowledge of Buddhism and unparalleled cultivation. He later married, had children, and took the surname 'Seng.'"

On the ship, Lin Xun conversed with the thin middle-aged man who called himself Seng Yuandu.

Seng Yuandu appeared honest and meek, answering whatever Lin Xun asked. He clearly knew that he couldn't afford to offend an expert like Lin Xun.

"So the treasures in the bronze box were obtained by your ancestor in the Kunlun Dominion?"

Lin Xun's black eyes flickered.

Seng Yuandu answered without hesitation, "Most certainly, why else would the silver-masked man offer me double the price to buy them back?"

"But why did you willingly sell your family heirloom?"

Lin Xun's following words made Seng Yuandu display an embarrassed expression. He helplessly sighed and said, "My family has fallen into dire straits and I'm only a lowly False Saint. Although I was reluctant, I had no choice but to do so in order to send my son to one of the big sects."

He took a deep breath as his expression grew complicated. "Although I'm an incompetent father, I don't want my son to end up like me. If it gives him an opportunity to travel further along the path of cultivation, what does it matter if I sell some family heirlooms?"

Lin Xun was silent.

This was a form of fatherly love. While Seng Yuandu seemed to be incompetent and in a destitute situation, his concern for his child was touching.

Lin Xun asked, "Can you tell me the origin of these treasures?"

Surprised, Seng Yuandu said, "Don't you already know everything?"

"I wish to hear it from you."

Seng Yuandu let out a long sigh. He said, "It seems that you don't believe these treasures are from the Kunlun Dominion. It makes sense. Although they appear mysterious, they are honestly utterly useless. Even I find it hard to believe that these things could have any earth-shaking secrets, let alone an outsider like you."

The box of treasures had been passed down from the Seng Family's first ancestor and had been safe kept by many generations of the Seng Family.

However, not a single person has been able to discover the secrets of the treasures.

By the time they came into Seng Yuandu's hands, he had already given up all hope on them. If not, he would never have sold them.

Lin Xun said, "Tell me. I wish to hear it regardless of whether it's true or not."

Seng Yuandu sorted out his thoughts and began, "My ancestor's Dharma name is Jiye and his identity is filled with mystery. The family records only state that he was an extremely remarkable person, but there was no way of knowing how remarkable he was.

"We, descendants of the Seng Family, only know that our ancestor Jiye once entered the Kunlun Dominion and saw an extremely mysterious furnace from which various unfathomable Emperor weapons emerged..."

Lin Xun's heart shuddered upon hearing this as a name emerged in his mind: Treasure Refining Origin Furnace!

The Kunlun Dominion was known to have Nine Secrets and Three Forbiddens.

The Nine Secrets of Kunlun referred to nine secret realms that each birthed an Emperor weapon. In total, this added up to nine Emperor weapons.

These nine Emperor weapons were made by the Treasure Refining Origin Furnace and were also known as the nine Emperor weapons of Kunlun.

In fact, Lin Xun was currently in possession of two of these nine treasures, the Dao Immeasurable Bottle and the Dao Blameless Lamp!

Seng Yuandu continued, "When Ancestor Jiye left Kunlun Dominion, he brought back some treasures."

After waiting for a while, Lin Xun was stunned. "Is that all?"

Seng Yuandu awkwardly said, "How much more can we descendants know about the primeval era?"

Lin Xun was rendered speechless.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Where is your son now?"

Seng Yuandu suddenly grew cautious. "Dao Friend, please don't make my wife and child suffer. You've already bought my family's heirlooms. Are you planning to kill and silence us as well?"

Lin Xun couldn't help but laugh. "Didn't you wish for your son to join a big sect? With my help, I guarantee that you won't have to spend a single dao crystal."

Seng Yuandu realized that he had misunderstood Lin Xun and excitedly said, "Are you serious, Dao Friend?"

"What do you think of Xuanji Dao Sect?"

"Is there anyone who doesn't know about the third greatest sect in Cloud State? I have always hoped that my child could join Xuanji Dao Sect!"

Lin Xun said, "I'll take you there now and resolve this matter once and for all. This will be a form of compensation."

Seng Yuandu nodded repeatedly. He was so excited that he lost his composure. "Then...thank you so much, Dao Friend. I...I will definitely repay your kindness!"

An hour later.

Lin Xun and Seng Yuandu landed before the majestic Sacred Wind Dao Mountain.

"Young friend, please come in."

Elder Hong Yu of Xuanji Dao Sect immediately emerged from the mountain gate. He had clearly been waiting for quite some time.

"Thank you!"

Lin Xun nodded and followed Hong Yu into Xuanji Dao Sect.

From how Lin Xun was treated with such respect, Seng Yuandu immediately believed that Lin Xun's promise wasn't just empty words.

"Great, my child can finally cultivate in a big dao sect like those heaven prides..."

Seng Yuandu felt tears gathering in his eyes.

Only after becoming a father would one understand that they could give everything to give their children a better future!

Jade Rinse Peak.

This place was originally where Sect Leader Heng Xiao cultivated and was later lent to Lin Xun as a temporary residence.

When Hong Yu and Lin Xun arrived, Heng Xiao welcomed them with a smile, "Congratulations on winning first place in the Cloud State Dao Debate Contest."

Lin Xun also smiled and returned the greeting.

"Who is this?"

Heng Xiao looked at Seng Yuandu, who was next to Lin Xun.

Seng Yuandu trembled as his heart violently thudded. He was so nervous that cold sweat rapidly gathered on his forehead.

That was Heng Xiao! How could he have not heard of Xuanji Dao Sect's Sect Leader?

Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that he would encounter such a legendary figure as soon as he arrived at Xuanji Dao Sect, which left him in a state of extreme nervousness.

Lin Xun didn't explain much. He only said that he hoped that Seng Yuandu's child could enter Xuanji Dao Sect.

Heng Xiao agreed without hesitation. "There's no need to trouble you over a mere sect placing. Leave it to me."

Seng Yuandu's jaw dropped. A matter he had thought to be as difficult as ascending the heavens was easily resolved by Lin Xun with a few words. It made him feel as if he was dreaming.

After quite some time, he finally returned to his senses and bowed deeply, shedding tears of gratitude. "Thank you Sect Master, thank you Sect Master!"

Heng Xiao smiled and said, "Please rest here for now, Dao Friend. I will personally accompany you to meet your child tomorrow."

Seng Yuandu kept nodding, clearly overflowing with joy as an attendant led him away.

After settling Seng Yuandu, Heng Xiao said to Lin Xun, "Young friend, Ancestor Bo Yazi will return tomorrow. I will arrange for you to meet him then."

Lin Xun replied, "I'll be troubling you then, Dao Friend."

Heng Xiao displayed a carefree smile. "Young friend, you are too polite. Please don't be like this in the future. Although others may not know who you are, how can I not know your identity?"

Lin Xun was speechless.

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the clouds in the distance and respectfully reported, "Sect Leader, distinguished guests have come to visit!"

"Where are these distinguished guests from?"

Heng Xiao frowned.

"They are said to be from the Central Plain State."

Heng Xiao was taken aback and his frown deepened.

Central Plain State was the number one state in Primordial Chaos World and was regarded as its ancestral land. It was also where titans such as the Great Six Courts and the Great Ten Battle Clans resided.

Heng Xiao said, "Young friend, please have a rest first. I'll go and take a look."

Lin Xun nodded. He watched Heng Xiao rush off before he walked into the cultivation area that had been specially prepared for him.

Rumble!

An array activated, isolating the area from the outside world.

With a flourish of his hand, a large bronze box appeared and landed on the ground.

Lin Xun took out the talisman key and inserted it into the center of the restrictions. As the box slowly opened, the scene inside was once again reflected in his eyes.

A bronze dao seal, an apricot-yellow flag, a small pile of gray soil, and a chunk of rotten divine wood. These were the four remarkable-looking treasures.

However, Lin Xun's eyes suddenly shone, no longer able to conceal his joy and excitement.

As someone who had been to the Kunlun Dominion and witnessed the various wonders inside, he had realized the treasures' extraordinary natures as soon as he saw them in the underground black market!

"It would be worth it even if it cost a hundred or thousand times more, let alone nine million dao crystals!"

Lin Xun inwardly sighed. With a flip of his palm, a black copper piece appeared. It felt as heavy as an ancient divine mountain.

It was the copper piece he had picked up from the inverted mountain in Kunlun Dominion.

The copper piece had a terrifying origin. It was a fragment of the Treasure Refining Origin Furnace!

Omm~

When Lin Xun took out the copper piece, strange fluctuations emerged on the surfaces of the bronze dao seal and the apricot-yellow flag.

It felt as if they were awakening after countless years of slumber!

The copper piece in Lin Xun's hand grew hot as it resonated with the bronze dao seal and the apricot-yellow flag.

For a time, strange fluctuations emerged like a tide between the three treasures, buzzing incessantly.

Lin Xun grew increasingly excited at the sight. It was as he had expected, these two treasures were related to the Treasure Refining Origin Furnace!
