The Prodigies War

In the ancient hall, the voice of the great dao echoed endlessly, mysterious and sacred.

Lin Xun sat cross-legged on the ground, fully immersed in the sounds. His body was covered with wisps of faint pure Dao Ripple and behind his head were three rays of sacred white light emerging.

The splendid light soon evolved into a perfectly round disk-like object, accentuating his ethereal bearing like a mirror.

The sound of the Dao was mysterious and ethereal as if it had come from the thirty-three heavens.

Lin Xun felt as though he was sleepwalking in an ancient training hall of ancient times and listening to a supreme sage interpret the mystery of the great dao.

He felt enlightened from the inside out.

The so-called dao was indescribable, but it could be comprehended, realized and studied.

While Lin Xun was in deep thought, the mirror-like disk behind his head grew increasingly bright and clear.

In the end, it rotated behind his head, casting a Heaven Ascension cave dwelling!

Divine lights were roaring within the cave-dwelling, auspicious mist was spewing out, and Dao Ripple was swirling around. It was as though a world was being formed. In the center of the dwelling stood a simple and unadorned Dao platform with three rays of white-jade like light lingering around it.

It was presenting Lin Xun’s Dao path!

The divine disk was casting the supreme dao path and the Heaven Ascension Dao platform that Lin Xun currently possessed.

Fortunately, Zhao Jingxuan and Toady were immersed in appreciating the Great Dao and hadn’t noticed the changes. Otherwise, they would be stunned into silence.

Lin Xun’s Heaven Ascension dwelling was too unique and extraordinary. He opened up a Dao platform at the initial Heaven Ascension Stage, which was incredibly unusual.

Ordinary cultivators were only able to create their own Heaven Ascension Dao Platform once they reached the upper Heaven Ascension Stage.

Even though Zhao Jingxuan, Xiao Ran and other genius cultivators were able to form their own Dao platform at the initial Heaven Ascension Stage, they still lacked the three mysterious rays of lights around their dao platform, unlike Lin Xun!

However, Lin Xun was completely unaware of it all.

He had fallen into a state of deep understanding, validating the wonderful theories and truths he had heard. He felt greatly inspired and enlightened. Some details he had overlooked and some confusion that he had come across in the past were presented and solved one by one.

Soon, Lin Xun stopped rigidly clinging to only comprehension, and began to take the opportunity to reshape his path through this new understanding!

The five great cultivation stages included True Martial, Spirit Dipper, Spirit Sea, Heaven Ascension and Cyclic Derivation!

The True Martial Stage was further divided into nine levels—Qi Drawing, Inner Strengthening, Organ Opening, Orifice Unlocking, Essence Refining, Blood Igniting, Little Cycle, Big Cycle and Aeth Transformation.

Each stage had its marvelousness and would bring brand new changes to a cultivator’s strength. It seemed simple, but it was all a cornerstone in building a cultivator’s great dao.

As mentioned earlier, one couldn’t reach one thousand miles without accumulating steps, and one couldn’t form a sea without gathering many little streams.

It was the same with cultivation.

Lin Xun had almost died at a young age when his Origin Aeth Artery was taken and as a result couldn’t cultivate.

Fortunately, he met Mister Lu and embarked on the path of cultivation, but because of his damaged body, his achievements were limited.

Later, the appearance of the Omega Secret Realm changed his fate. He underwent many transformation-like changes as though he was being reborn.

But before the transformation, he made little achievements on his cultivation path. After all, he had walked a flawed and imperfect dao path.

That might not seem like it had affected him, but when he attacked the pinnacle of the great dao, those imperceptible flaws left from his initial cultivation would have an unpredictable impact on him!

A thought struck Lin Xun. He decided to take advantage of the opportunity to reshape his dao path, which was equivalent to repairing the flaws and improving his cultivation path.

Qi Drawing!

The first step of stepping onto the great dao was the first level of the true Martial Stage—Drawing qi around his body to guide aeth power to open the meridians and acupoints, so as to cleanse the mortal body.

Lin Xun sank back into a state of comprehension and quietly observed the wonders. Faintly, the Dao sounds also changed accordingly as they fell in his ears, as though it was specifically explaining the profound meaning of Qi Drawing.

Lin Xun felt a sense of novelty and joy just as when he first embarked on the cultivation path. He felt enlightened from time to time.

Inner Strengthening!

Inhale and exhale aeth power to temper the internal organs and strengthen qi around the body.

Organ Opening!

Open up and temper the five organs with aeth power, clear the veins and meridians of the five internal organs to let out the old and absorb the new.

Orifice Unlocking!

Essence Refining!

……

As Lin Xun’s enlightenment deepened, he felt he was rewalking his cultivation path, starting from the initial Qi Drawing and moving to Inner Strengthening, Organ Opening and other cultivation stages.

Every step of the reshaping provided some gains and insights!

The experience was too precious and rare. If he didn’t have such an opportunity, he couldn’t possibly trigger the series of changes.

The simple and unadorned hall constantly echoed with the ethereal dao sound as though ancient sages were passing on their knowledge.

It wasn’t only an incomparably rare and precious opportunity for Lin Xun, but also a precious event for other cultivators.

It was the teachings of a supreme sage of ancient times! How extraordinary was it?

Even someone at the Life Death Stage would likely be fascinated and wild with joy when they heard it.

However, different people comprehended different truths based on their cultivation levels.

Lin Xun and the others were destined to only comprehend the wonderful truths that were closely related to their cultivation stage and couldn’t pry into the wonders of higher cultivation stages, such as the Cyclic Derivation and Life Death Stage.

“Ahh!”

As time passed, a loud cry suddenly sounded in an ancient hall.

An invisible force suddenly swept a cultivator of the Golden Luan Clan out of the hall to the foot of the mountain.

It immediately caught the attention of cultivators waiting at the foot of the mountain. Could it be that the inheritance opportunity is coming to an end?

“Argh! My power of understanding isn’t good enough, so I have reached the limit of wonderful truths I could comprehend. I only learned one secret art before I was teleported out!” a cultivator of the Golden Luan Clan lamented bitterly.

His words amazed everyone and drew envious gazes. Even if his understanding isn’t good, he still obtained an inheritance. The rewards are too extraordinary.

Someone couldn’t help asking, “Brother, can I ask what kind of secret art you have learned?”

The Golden Luan Clan cultivator immediately became guarded. “Don’t think about it. The art can only be understood in the heart and can’t be taught or taken. It is, after all, the inheritance power of a supreme sage of ancient times!” He couldn’t conceal the joy on his face as he reached the end of his sentence.

Even if he was eliminated, he was still extremely satisfied with the secret art he had comprehended.

Many people who were about to take action suddenly gave up. The blessing can’t be snatched?!

How disappointing!

Su Xingfeng, Wen Xiang, Yun Che and the others looked worse.

The blessing can’t be snatched?

Does that mean that even if Lin Xuan is killed, we can’t get the blessing he received from the mountain peak?

“Don’t be dispirited. That boy has more than one treasure on him. Don’t forget that he seized a Saint dao scripture from the Five Elements Holy Island and he also has the pagoda!” Su Xingfeng drew a deep breath, his face sinister and cold.

Wen Xiang and Yun Che were taken aback at first and then they felt much better.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ran kept quiet all along.

Swoosh!

Not long after that, another cultivator was teleported out from the ancient hall on the mountain peak.

“Why? I’m only one step away from getting that complete Dao art! But I just missed it...” roaring, a Herculean Demon Bull Clan cultivator once again sprinted up the mountain.

Unfortunately, the nine mountains were shrouded in restriction power, making it difficult for him to get close.

The cultivators at the foot of the mountain who hadn’t stepped foot into the hall once became more and more jealous.

What kind of supreme opportunity is hidden in the ancient hall?

At the same time, they also realized that, in this opportunity, a cultivator’s power of understanding and comprehension abilities determined their benefits and their elimination time.

The cultivators of the Golden Luan Clan and the Herculean Demon Bull Clan were already regarded as top figures, yet they were eliminated early because their talent and power of understanding weren’t enough.

Swoosh!

As expected, cultivators were teleported out of the nine ancient halls one after another.

Some beat their chests in anger, some sighed again and again, some cried in frustration and some grinned happily, satisfied with their harvests.

However, everyone gained something. It was just a matter of how much.

Meanwhile, a conflict broke out.

A cultivator suddenly launched a sneak attack, attempting to kill a Mysterious Ao Clan cultivator who had just obtained an opportunity.

To the surprise of everyone, none of the Mysterious Ao Clan cultivators fought back, but the sneak attacker was killed on the spot!

None of the present cultivators made a move, but the restraining force from the sacred mountain evolved into a lightning bolt and instantly pulverized the ambusher!

“Good fortunes are created by oneself. Those who try to forcibly take it shall be punished!” It was a voice formed from the mysterious restraining power.

It was indifferent, empty and without a shred of emotion, sending a chill down everyone’s spine.

Only then did everyone realize that such invisible murderous intent was hidden in the mysterious place of opportunity.

At the same time, they became down and disheartened. They only waited there to take advantage of the chance to kill and loot treasures.

However, after witnessing the sneak attacker’s fate, who would dare to act?

Xiao Ran, who had been silent all that time, finally sighed out loud. He couldn’t remain calm anymore, and a trace of uncontrollable disappointment mixed with bitter acceptance flashed in his eyes.

He planned to wait there to see if he could regain some good fortune, but now, he had no choice but to give up...

He felt incredibly aggrieved. He felt like the heavens were always making things difficult for him. Was that the so-called heaven’s will?
