The Prodigies War

The Flying Immortal Tablet was actually connected to the Kunlun Dominion!

Lin Xun couldn’t remain calm anymore. All of a sudden, the Dao verse he obtained from Fangchun Mountain flooded his mind.

Treading the starry path, strolling up Kunlun.

Grabbing the sun and moon with a sleeve, holding the heavens in the palm.

I come from the world of mortals, gently tapping on the gate of longevity.

Using a magical technique to see one’s true nature, to bestow Dao onto the fated person.

According to Toady, the mysterious Dao verse held an earthshaking secret. Furthermore, Toady analyzed that the first line of the dao verse was most likely related to the Kunlun Dominion!

The Kunlun Dominion was one of the most mysterious four dao dominions in ancient times, hence its other name Mystery Dominion. Rumor had it that to ascend Kunlun, one had to pass through the Ancient Star Path that ran across the mysterious void.

However, the owner of the Dao verse only regarded the Ancient Star Path as a footpath to walk up Kunlun. That showed how terrifying the cultivation base of the dao verse owner was. 

Lin Xun still remembered the emotional look on Toady’s face when he said that the Kunlun Dominion was more mysterious than the Return Dominion because it was rumored to be related to the true immortal path. Even the sages in ancient times were very rarely able to catch a glimpse of the true face of Kunlun.  

Unknowingly, the Kunlun Dominion had become more mysterious and ethereal like a miracle. 

However, Lin Xun never imagined that the Flying Immortal Tablet from Lin Wenjun would be connected to the Kunlun Dominion. 

It was so unbelievable that Lin Xun found it difficult to calm his emotions for a moment.

If what Lin Wenjun said was true, that the Flying Immortal Tablet was passed down from the ancestors of the Azure Hill Sky Fox Clan, then the tablet was unquestionably a treasure of immeasurable value!

It was no wonder that Lin Wenjun said that even Saints would covet the treasure if they saw it. It was a treasure connected to the Kunlun Dominion! Even divine beings would be tempted to seize it!  

“From what I know, there should be nine Flying Immortal Tablets in this world. In addition to the one I have, there is one in the hands of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan. There is also one with the Dharma Flower Pure Land in the East Victory World. As for the other four pieces, I don’t know whose hands they are in so far,” Lin Wenjun said with a complex expression. “The feud between my Azure Hill Sky Fox Clan and the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan started because of the tablets in ancient times!”

Lin Xun was startled. “Elder, then this thing is too valuable, I can’t accept it.”

He was indeed touched. It had to be mentioned that there was a mysterious dao verse hidden in his Nameless Pagoda that might be related to the Kunlun Dominion!

If he had the Flying Immortal Tablet and found an opportunity to get close to the Kunlun Dominion in the future, then he might have the chance to understand the true face of the secrets!  

However, he also knew that the mysterious tablet was too precious. If he accepted it then he felt he would owe Lin Wenjun a great deal.

Lin Wenjun smiled. “Endless years have passed, and my Azure Hill Sky Fox Clan is close to being wiped out, but I’m not even close to discovering the true secret of the Flying Immortal Tablet. Even if the tablet continues to stay with me, it’s useless and might even be snatched away by the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan. It’s better to give it to you than to leave it for them to take it.” 

She stood up, peering out the window and then her dark eyebrows were suddenly raised. “Lin Xun, it’s late, take Xiaochong away now. I’m worried that...those black dog bastards will soon find me with their sharp sense of smell.”  

Lin Xun didn’t dare to think about it anymore, feeling a chill. “Elder, we can leave together.”

Lin Wenjun shook her head. “If I stay, I can buy time for you two to run away. If not, I don’t think anyone will be able to leave.” 

She suddenly turned around and looked Lin Xun in the eye. “Go, the farther you go, the better it is. You will be safe when you reach Blue Hill Mountain in the Perched Phoenix Province. Remember, you must protect Xiaochong at all costs and no matter what, don’t let those black dog bastards get their hands on her!”

Lin Xun felt the responsibility weigh heavily on his heart.

He couldn’t imagine that a woman like Lin Wenjun, who possessed unparalleled elegance and beauty and could cause the downfall of a kingdom with a glance, would be in such a dangerous predicament.

He also couldn’t imagine that she would rather choose to stay to protect Xia Xiaochong. 

It seemed she was prepared to sacrifice herself!

……

Deep in the night, the streets were brightly lit and bustling as always. 

In a quaint tea house diagonally across from the inn, Mo Feng sat by the window, staring outside in a daze. The cup of tea in his hands had gone cold, but he had no idea.  

He hadn’t taken a sip.

There seemed to be a lot on his mind. 

“Who would have imagined that guy would be so terrifyingly strong...” 

From time to time, the scenes in the martial arena earlier would still flash into his mind, shocking him again and again. 

What was a peerless genius?

He had heard about them a lot in the past, but he finally saw the brilliance of a peerless genius today with his own eyes. 

The tea house was packed with cultivators, all discussing today’s earthshaking duel and speculating about the identity of Lin Xun and the girl in the black dress.

Mo Feng couldn’t help but wonder what their reactions would be if he told them that the youngster they were talking about was in the inn just opposite the tea house. Would it cause an unimaginable commotion?

Or would the crazy crowd of people crush the inn?

The more he thought about it, the more dejected he felt. He was a leading figure among the younger generation of the Spirit Pearl Sect. He had an admirable and enviable identity and status and had a promising future.

But…

After what he witnessed today, he realized that he was just a pitiful frog at the bottom of a well!

Suddenly, a thin figure, who was sitting opposite him, startled him and snapped him out of his rambling thoughts.

The figure was dressed in all black with a silvery white mask covering his face. That was the most popular fashion in Flame Capital tonight, inspired by the girl in the black dress.

However, Mo Feng only found it comical and ridiculous for the black-clad man opposite him. “Master, why are you copying those young people?” he asked in puzzlement. 

The man in black turned out to be Han Yanque, the master of Mo Feng!

“It’s just to conceal my identity,” Han Yanque answered casually.

Mo Feng was struck by a flash of realization, quickly followed by surprise. Why would he need to hide his identity? It’s simple, there must be a secret operation that no one knows about!

And this operation must concern the youngster who was in the opposite inn now!

Sure enough, Mo Feng guessed right. 

Han Yanque explained, “The sect master and the seven elders will act together in this operation and it will be overseen by the Grand Supreme Elder. Everything is ready and we now only need to wait for an opportunity. How is the situation on your side?”

The Grand Supreme Elder will also take part!

Mo Feng quivered inwardly. There was only one Grand Supreme Elder in the Spirit Pearl Sect, and that was Sun Huan, a renowned half-step king in the Fire Spirit Province!

He was an old monster with an illustrious reputation among the four sects and three clans. He was said to be only one step away from becoming a Life Death Stage King.

He was also the pillar of the Spirit Pearl Sect. His presence in the sect allowed the Spirit Pearl Sect to be included in the ranks of the four sects and three clans.

Mo Feng never thought that Grand Supreme Elder Sun Huan would personally take action to deal with a youngster!

The matter would no doubt set off a monstrous storm.

“Mo Feng!” Han Yanque frowned discontentedly, noticing that Mo Feng was repeatedly spacing out and distracted. 

Mo Feng jolted awake, suppressing the shock in his heart, and said, “Master, the boy is now in an inn not far away.”

Han Yanque’s expression softened, and he nodded with satisfaction, “You’ve done a good job.”

“But…” Mo Feng muttered. 

“But what?” Han Yanque frowned again. When did my disciple become so indecisive and unconfident?

Mo Feng gritted his teeth and told Han Yanque about today’s battle.

Han Yanque had already heard about the battle as soon as he returned to the Flame Capital. After all, everyone was discussing it, so it was hard to not know anything. 

He even praised the pair as remarkable characters and hoped that they were successors of the Spirit Pearl Sect...

“Why did you bring this matter up?” Han Yanque was a little puzzled.

“The youngster is the kid!”

The truth made Han Yanque’s entire body go stiff, and his heart ran wildly in his chest. He almost dropped the teacup in his hand. 

After a while, he said with a gloomy expression, “It turns out to be him. When he was in Fallen Star Peak, he already demonstrated strength that completely surpassed his peers. Why didn’t I think that...”

Mo Feng hesitated for a moment before he tried to convince Han Yanque, “Master, since the kid is so outstanding, he can’t be an ordinary person and he might even have a remarkable background. If that’s the case, we...”

As if Han Yanque knew what he was going to say, he interrupted him before he finished, “You don’t need to say anything. You are still too young, so you don’t understand the meaning of great trends and opportunity.”

Great trends?

Opportunity?

Mo Feng finally sighed to himself. He knew that he couldn’t change his master’s mind once he was set on doing something. 

He just couldn’t understand why so many sect elders and experts would be dispatched just for the so-called great trends and opportunities.

Meanwhile, Han Yanque muttered in his heart, It might bring us some unnecessary troubles if we kill that kid but if we could get our hands on his treasure ship which is a suspected saint treasure then it would all be worth it!

Because it is a treasure that could change the great trends of a sect and make the Spirit Pearl Sect rise to the top of the Fire Spirit Province!

Otherwise, how would we be able to ask Grand Supreme Elder Sun Huan to help out?

We only have one opportunity, and we must seize it!

Regardless of what kind of peerless genius he is, he is still a teenager at the Heaven Ascension Stage. He might be able to compete with Cyclic Derivation cultivators, but he stands no chance against a half-step king. 

After all, Withered Vine Old Monster almost killed him that time!

Han Yanque took a deep breath and instructed Mo Feng in a lowered voice, “Mo Feng, haven’t you met him several times? Find a way to lure him out of the Flame Capital!“

It was an instruction, but it was no different from an order because it seemed like he wouldn’t take no for an answer. 

Mo Feng stiffened, feeling bitter in his heart.
