The Prodigies War

That unexpected roar from the stone cauldron surprised Lin Xun and the others.

Could it be caused by the Nameless Pagoda?

However, before they could figure out the reason, the rumble and vibrations from the stone cauldron grew increasingly louder, like the divine sound of the great dao echoing in the empty hall. It made even the body and spirit shake with it.

Boom!

The stone cauldrons in the ancient halls atop the other eight mountains were also vibrating and roaring at the same time

All cultivators shuddered inwardly as they were caught off guard by the unexpected change.

Vaguely, everyone who entered the ancient halls felt as if they had been teleported to a training ground of ancient times.

A figure sat high above the thirty-three heavens, watching over all living beings like a ruler and explaining the wonders and mysteries of the great dao. Its voice was indescribably ethereal and sacred like the sounds of nature.

“That is the inheritance of the ancient almighty sage. I can’t believe it appeared like that. Hurry up and sit down to receive enlightenment!” someone exclaimed in excitement.

Those able to enter the halls were all outstanding figures of the various clans, so they almost immediately understood what was going on. They sat down cross-legged and began to meditate.

The inheritance was precious and rare, and there was only one chance. They would regret it for a lifetime if they missed the opportunity.

As for how much they could comprehend in the end depended on their fate!

“Hahaha, that bastard Xiao Ran planned his every step and believed he seized all the opportunities. I bet he has never thought that an inheritance is hidden in this ancient hall. I can imagine the ugly look on his face when he learns about this! Hahaha—” Toady laughed wildly.

Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan also couldn’t help laughing.

They were all sitting cross-legged, carefully listening to the ethereal and sacred Dao sounds. Their bodies and minds were becoming greatly enlightened.

It felt as though they were sleepwalking in ancient times. An almighty sage with supreme powers was passing on scriptures to his disciples and interpreting the mysteries of the great dao.

The figure was too far away and majestic to see clearly. He was like a master on an equal level with heaven and earth.

The voice resounded like an ancient bell, mysterious and unfathomable. Everyone heard it differently when it fell in their ears.

Some people heard the wonders of Mahayana Buddhism, some heard the profound theories of Daoism, and some heard the wonderful meaning that was neither Buddhism or Daoism.

The profound meaning was all-encompassing, covering many schools of thought and integrating thousands of streams.

Due to everyone’s different comprehension abilities, power of understanding, and different dao paths, they would realize different truths and meanings.

Such an inheritance could be said to contain a thousand ways in one word, but enlightenment depended on a person’s fate

……

There were nine mountains and nine ancient halls standing atop each one.

When the mysterious and unfathomable power of inheritance was produced, the nine mountains also vibrated, and an indescribable majestic force emerged around them.

The cultivators still halfway up the mountain suddenly felt their bodies shake before an invisible force swept them to the foot of the mountain.

They discovered that a terrifying force of restriction had enveloped the nine mountains and made it impossible to get closer to them anymore!

“What’s going on?”

Many cultivators ceased the fighting and stared at the mountains, aghast. If they couldn’t even get close to the mountains, then it was meaningless to fight anymore.

“It seems like the real inheritance of this place has emerged!” someone speculated.

“Does that mean we have been eliminated since we failed to enter the ancient hall on the mountain peak?”

Many cultivators looked glum and their hearts ached.

Some refused to accept the truth and tried to force their way up the mountains. But the restriction force blasted them away, and they had no choice but to give up.

Everyone understood that they had all been eliminated!

“Argh!” Su Xingfeng gnashed his teeth at the foot of a mountain, flames blazing furiously in his eyes.

“We missed the great opportunity…” Wen Xiang’s face was clouded with disappointment.

Yun Che sighed, “Senior Brother Gong Yangyu is also dead. That guy has taken it.”

Xiao Ran remained silent as he raised his head and stared at the mountain peak. No one noticed the complicated expression tinged with bitterness swirling in his eyes.

No one also noticed that his hands were tightly clenched in his sleeves.

He thought that the Dao scripture hidden in the stone cauldron was a great opportunity in the ancient hall, and he could return home with no regrets after taking it.

Who would have thought that there was a greater opportunity hidden in the hall?

If he had known about that, how would he have left so early?

Bitterness and exasperation surged and slapped his heart like a tide, making him no longer as calm and composed as before.

“I didn’t expect it at all!” he sighed.

He had used all sorts of tricks and schemes, but he never thought that there would be another mystery in the nine mountains.

If I had known earlier…

He inhaled deeply. He shouldn’t think about it anymore. It was meaningless to be upset and bitter. He had to accept his failure this time.

“Hmph! So what if he gets the opportunity? When he leaves the secret realm, we can kill him and take everything from him!” Su Xingfeng said through gritted teeth.

Both Wen Xiang and Yun Che were tempted. Their eyes glinted fiercely.

He’s right. The opportunity will come to an end. We just need to rely on Elder Gao Yang to kill that guy when he leaves!

Only Xiao Ran remained silent, and no one knew what was on his mind.

……

Outside Return Dominion.

The Life Soul Altars in front of the various major clans rumbled incessantly, teleporting wisps of spirits back one after another.

They were cultivators who had been eliminated in the fight for opportunities.

They were all equipped with a Life Soul Bone Talisman, so they were able to escape from death and return. As for the cultivators without one, they would never come back…

The Life Soul Altars were buzzing constantly, which meant that the bloody conflict for the opportunity was extremely fierce and tragic.

Many higher-ups turned ashen-faced. They felt as if their hearts were bleeding as they thought about the huge loss that their clans had suffered.

However, some clans were in high spirits and beaming with happiness such as the Herculean Demon Bull Clan, Golden Luan Clan, Cloud Hou Clan and Mysterious Ao Clan. The experts of their clans had reached the mountain peak and were competing for opportunities. How would they not be happy?

It was impossible to keep everyone happy all the time.

Elder Gao Yang was also overjoyed because the successors of Spirit Treasure Holy Land had also made it to one of the nine mountain peaks.

“Hmph!” Granny Sky Kill of the Dragon Whale Clan snorted coldly, her face livid. “Fellow cultivator, you seem to be very happy.”

Elder Gao Yang suddenly felt a headache coming. The fact that Lin Xun killed a group of Dragon Whale Clan cultivators made Granny Sky Kill extremely bad-tempered and irate. Even her words and tone of voice became harsh and unpleasant.

But before Elder Gao Yang could say a word, someone uttered coldly, “Fellow cultivator, regardless of whether you are happy or not, all the news indicated that that bloodthirsty young man has made it to the top of the mountain with the successors of the Spirit Treasure Holy Land and that he is part of your Spirit Treasure Holy Land!”

The one who spoke was a higher-up of the Blood Lion Clan. His clan had almost all been wiped out at the hands of Lin Xun, so his tone wasn’t the slightest bit polite.

“A murderer must pay with his life. This matter needs to be dealt with.”

“That’s right. The youngster is fearless and ruthless. He has enraged the people and the heavens. We won’t stop until he is captured and killed.”

The higher-ups of the Demon Elephant Clan, Dark Wood Clan, and Jade Qilin Clan spoke out one after another, demanding an explanation from Elder Gao Yang.

They were exasperated. A teenager of the human race had utterly defeated the genius cultivators of their clans. How could they accept it?

The pressure on Elder Gao Yang suddenly doubled, and he felt his head spinning.

It was at that moment that news came—

“The young demon god and the successors of Spirit Treasure Holy Land are fighting!”

Boom!

A stone stirred up thousands of waves. Everyone broke into an uproar. They almost couldn’t believe what they heard. Isn’t the young demon god from Spirit Treasure Holy Land? Why are people from the same sect attacking one another?

Granny Sky Kill and other higher-ups frowned in bewilderment. What joke are they playing now?

Elder Gao Yang’s face turned overcast. Our people are fighting each other? That can’t be!

Soon, news continued to come out from the Deva Secret Realm.

“The successors of Spirit Treasure Holy Land surrounded the young demon god together, trying to prevent him from taking the opportunity, but who would have thought that the young demon god utterly destroyed them instead!”

“So terrifying! The young demon god fought against three people at once, yet he managed to severely injure two and kill one!”

Everyone was stirred up when they heard the news. The higher-ups of the various clans couldn’t help but gloat over their misfortune.

That youngster is ruthless and fearless! He dared to kill even the successors of the Spirit Treasure Holy Land. He has guts!

Granny Sky Kill and others donned strange expressions. They were criticizing Elder Gao Yang moments ago, but who would have thought that the fierce youngster would suddenly kill the successors of the Spirit Treasure Holy Land!

“Haha, fellow cultivator, it seems that your Spirit Treasure Holy Land has cultivated a remarkable person. His means are ruthless!”

“Fellow cultivator, what else do you have to say now? If it was up to me, I would kill such a rebellious person. Otherwise, sooner or later, he will ruin the entire Spirit Treasure Holy Land.”

“Ahh—I didn’t expect that youngster to be so heartless to kill even his fellow clansmen...Hey, fellow cultivator, you don’t look too good.”

Elder Gao Yang’s body was stiff and his face was livid. His beard was sticking up in anger and the veins on his forehead were popping.

That boy...how dare he!!

He must die!

When Elder Gao Yang heard about the many brilliant feats of Lin Xun in Deva Secret Realm and his amazing talent, he planned to pay some price to protect him and recruit him into Spirit Treasure Holy Land.

He no longer cared about who the so-called bloodthirsty teenager was or what sparked the fight between him and other Spirit Treasure Holy Land cultivators.

He only knew that he could never forgive Lin Xun for killing successors of Spirit Treasure Holy Land.

In short, he had already sentenced Lin Xun to death in his mind!
