The Prodigies War-Novel

Without a calendar in the mountains, one was unaware of the passage of time.

Flowers budded, bloomed, and faded. Before he knew it, Lin Xun had been on Yuncang Mountain for a year.

In that year, fierce conflicts often broke out between the three major camps: the empire, the Magi Brute and the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races.

Almost all of them were to do with the competition for treasures such as Divinity Primordial Crystals and divine herbs.

Generally speaking, the empire’s situation became more and more bleak as the year went on.

The experts of the empire who went out to train had to travel in groups, and their sphere of activities also became much more limited.

The reason for that was because both the Magi Brute camp and the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races were targeting the empire!

Although the two had yet to publicly join forces, it was obvious to all that they had secretly reached some kind of agreement.

On that day, rays after rays of magnificent light shot out from Lin Xun’s stone house at the top of Yuncang Mountain.

Each one was filled with the wondrous brilliance of jade, like it was the real tangible thing, soaring into the sky.

It was a spectacular sight.

In the stone building, qi was roaring and vaporizing around Lin Xun, evolving into various rays of light such as Upper Pure, Jade Pure, Great Pure, Spirit Pure, Original Pure and Empty Pure. They circulated him endlessly and guarded his surroundings.

Upon a closer look, every pore on his skin was glittering and translucent, spewing out mists of dao light, and dao sound was echoing between his bones and blood.

When Lin Xun opened his eyes, a terrifying and suffocating power spread outwards from him. The nearby space wailed and collapsed, as if bowing to him.

“I succeeded.” Lin Xun beamed with delight.

In one year, his body refinement cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, soaring from the second longevity tribulation stage to the sixth longevity tribulation stage!

In one year, he passed four cultivation stages!

If this miracle-like feat spread out, it would no doubt amaze the world.

But for Lin Xun, his progress was simply par for course.

After all, Blood Kill Battlefield was a top blessed cultivation land, and he had trained at the top of Yuncang Mountain, where aeth qi was most abundant. Additionally, he received a steady stream of cultivation resources that included Divinity Primordial Crystals and divine herbs. Furthermore, the cultivation arts he practiced was the Nine Pure Saint Body Art and the body cultivation insights of the Divine Elephant Martial Emperor.

It would be more abnormal if he made little progress in his physical cultivation.

Most importantly, he had already overcome every tribulation on the longevity path, which meant there were no more barriers to hinder his physical refinement cultivation.

As long as he continued to practice, his physical cultivation would smoothly improve by leaps and bounds!

Moreover, during training, Lin Xun focused on establishing a stable foundation before anything else and was not greedy for success. This formed a solid base for his physical cultivation.

If he only sought to raise his cultivation level then, within one year, he was confident that he would have already reached a higher cultivation stage.

But he did not.

So he was already pleasantly surprised that his steady training allowed him to reach the level of the sixth longevity tribulation stage within a year.

In fact, other cultivators could have also achieved this if they had the cultivation resources and talents that Lin Xun possessed.

The reason for that was very simple. Whether it was body cultivation, qi cultivation or spirit cultivation, those different paths all led to the same goal. As long as one achieved an exceptionally high accomplishment on a certain path, when they focused on other cultivation paths, they could often get twice the results with half the effort.

What brought the greatest joy and satisfaction to Lin Xun was that, as his physical cultivation improved, the Origin Aeth Artery was also transforming bit by bit!

As early as in the Peak Realm, he realized that the improvement of body training and his own talent of swallowing the sky were extremely closely related to each other.

The stronger his physical cultivation power, the greater the waves of energy produced by the Origin Aeth Artery, and his innate power would also undergo wonderful transformations.

For example, as he activated his physical cultivation, his Origin Aeth Artery unleashed bright and dazzling light like the scorching sun and produced waves of peculiar and obscure energy like it was stirred up.

“When I passed the ninth trial of the Omega Secret-Realm, I was given the Heavenly Destiny Force, which can awaken my innate power and thereby allow me to grasp an innate divine power that truly belongs to my own bloodline...”

Lin Xun realized that, as his physical cultivation improved, he was getting closer and closer to awakening his own innate divine power.

He was full of anticipation to know what sort of incredible power that his innate talent of Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer would have...

After silently checking on his physical cultivation power for a long while, Lin Xun got up and walked out of the stone house.

He realized that shutting himself in a room and training was no longer beneficial in improving his cultivation. If he wanted to further transform his physical power, he had to be subjected to real-life practice.

Back then, Lone Man had also bluntly given him some feedback. Although his physical cultivation power was strong, it was still lacking and needed proper training and refinement.

Lin Xun never forgot about this.

If he wanted to hone his cultivation, battles were unquestionably the most effective way.

With this thought, he headed down the mountain.

……

“It is getting harder and harder to gather Divinity Primordial Crystals. Some of the known good places have already been occupied by bastards of the Magi Brute Race and the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races.”

“The Magi Brute Camp has the powerful Light and Dark Twins as well as the ten top longevity stage brute kings. Each of them is as strong as Song Wuque. The Light and Dark Twins are even more terrifying than them, and only Li Duxing in our empire camp can rival them.”

“As for the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races, the top ten figures on their Ten Thousand Races Combat Power Ranking are all top fierce characters. Any one of them can be considered as a rare genius of the world. Some of them even possess extraordinary talents, unrivaled abilities and extraordinary comprehension...”

“On the other hand, in our empire camp, we have only a few people such as Li Duxing, Song Wuque, and Shi Yu who stand a chance against them. But relatively speaking, we lack true pinnacle power.”

In the camp on Yuncang Mountain, many people were discussing matters with solemn and depressing expressions on their faces.

They all felt the empire camp’s unfortunate situation.

The most direct observation was that the number of Divinity Primordial Crystals and divine herbs they collected every day had dropped considerably!

This affected their cultivation training.

If it continued, the Magi Brute camp and the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races would only become increasingly stronger.

And the empire camp would further weaken!

Recently, an air of gloom seemed to be hanging over Yuncang Mountain.

“Hey, what day is it today? That parasite has actually emerged from the top of the mountain?” Someone couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise when he spotted Lin Xun walking down the mountain.

“It really is him.”

His appearance also took the others aback. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the NovelEnglish.net

In the past year, Lin Xun rarely appeared in public. In particular, in the past six months, he had never stepped out of the stone house where he resided.

Those who did not know would think that there was no such person as Lin Xun on Yuncang Mountain.

Most of those who knew were ashamed to mention Lin Xun. Even though they realized that they should not mess with him, they still had some pent-up anger from last time.

The reason for that was very simple. In the year that Lin Xun spent on Yuncang Mountain, besides slapping Zhao Jingfeng twice and uncovering Zhao Jinglin’s identity as a Servant of Nightmare he also once forced Song Wuque to give up challenging him with one sentence.

At other times, he was like a parasite, enjoying special treatment from Zhao Xingye and receiving an inexhaustible supply of Divinity Primordial Crystals and divine herbs, but he had never contributed to the empire camp.

Not even once!

Naturally, many people found it unfair.

What made them resent Lin Xun the most was that they had to risk their lives and go out to collect Divinity Primordial Crystals while Lin Xun got to enjoy them.

Now, the empire camp’s situation was becoming more and more worse, and the number of Divinity Primordial Crystals they collected was becoming less and less.

But the number of Divinity Primordial Crystals that Lin Xun received never dropped once!

Who would not be upset about it?

Why?

Therefore, when they saw Lin Xun appear, their expressions changed. Some snorted, some shot disgusted looks at him, and some simply turned their heads and ignored him.

However, no one dared to mock him.

They still vividly remembered the two slaps that Zhao Jingfeng had suffered and the scene of Song Wuque retreating.

Everyone knew that they should not mess with Lin Xun, but that did not mean he was not a ’parasite’!

Lin Xun was a little surprised by their reaction towards him because he had no idea that he was being treated as a parasite. Shi Yu and Ning Meng had never mentioned it to him.

In other words, he never knew that he was receiving special treatment in the past year.

“Pah!” A gray-robed youngster spat out when Lin Xun walked past. Although he didn’t say anything, the contempt was obvious.

Lin Xun stopped. “Have I ever provoked you?”

The young man in a gray robe was startled, then his face darkened. “Don’t you know what you have done?”

“What is it?” Lin Xun asked in puzzlement.

“Argh!” The young man stormed away like he was ashamed to be associated with Lin Xun.

He was worried that if he continued talking, he would cough up blood from rage.

Lin Xun stared at him, visibly confused. He glanced at the others and became even more confused when he saw that the others also avoided him.

“What’s going on?”

Finally, he ran into Shi Yu who was about to head out and asked him about it.

Shi Yu said with a chuckle, “What else could it be? Jealousy. Ning Meng is right. Jealousy distorts people. You don’t need to mind them. Don’t worry and just continue to train.”

“But what’s going on? Even if they are jealous, there has to be a reason to be jealous, right?”

Shi Yu had no choice but to tell him the whole story.

After understanding everything, Lin Xun was speechless for a good while and then he said irritably, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Shi Yu said with a playful smile, “Why would we stop you from obtaining some benefits? Don’t pretend to be innocent after succeeding in gaining some advantages. It will make you look very shameless.”

Lin Xun grabbed him. “Come, come with me for a walk.”

Shi Yu was flabbergasted, “What are you doing?”

“To wash away the shame of being a parasite!” Lin Xun stated with a serious face.
