The Prodigies War

Chaos Star Beach was a well-known ancient battlefield relic in the Boundary River.

Rumor had it that an earthshaking duel took place there in ancient times, and a sword saint appeared and slashed countless stars from the sky!

The stars exploded into fragments and hit the earth, smashing huge craters of thousands of miles.

After that, the Boundary River formed, and after countless years of changes, the area became known to the present world as Chaos Star Beach.

“Look, that’s the Chaos Star Beach in the distance. For many cultivators in the East Victory World, Chaos Star Beach is a land of treasure littered with real Star Debris Meteorites. In the past years, it was unknown how many cultivators had come to explore and search for treasures there,” Kou Xing pointed to the distance as he explained leisurely on the deck of the ship.

Once they arrived at the Chaos Star Beach, they could be said to have entered the boundary of the East Victory World. Within half a day, they would reach the city closest to the Boundary River.

In the distance, the turbid waves of the Boundary River rose and roared through the mist.

Unlike the other areas, this area was made up of many reef-like lands, all jagged and rough, where the river streamed through it, making it look like a beach.

It was a huge area with some reefs over tens of feet long and some resembling little islands.

“The rumor is true. In ancient times, the sword saint was extremely famous, earning the title of Demon Destroyer Sword Saint. He conquered and fought here, exhausting his whole life of power to slash and shatter the stars with his sword to create the spectacle in front of you,” Miss Le explained.

She was very intelligent and knew many secrets of ancient times. Many people started to wonder whether there was anything in the world that she didn’t know about.

Demon Destroyer Sword Saint?

Lin Xun marveled in his heart. What an amazing title!

Lin Xun couldn’t help asking, “What kind of treasure are the Star Debris Meteorites?”

“They are similar to Origin Stones. Once cut open, there is a great chance that they contain rare treasures such as aeth materials, aeth herbs, ores, and precious gems.” Miss Le said very confidently, “And some rare ones contained incredible treasures such as godly materials, aeth treasures, and aeth embryo.”

“Aeth embryo?” Lin Xun sounded surprised.

“Yes, more than ten years ago, a half-step king elder from the Heaven Axis Holy Land in the East Victory World obtained a bizarre Star Debris Meteorite on this Chaos Star Beach. After cutting it open, he found that it gave birth to a rare Azure Golden Beast aeth embryo. Before it awakened its consciousness, it miraculously already possessed a cultivation base.”

Miss Le continued, “Such a mysterious thing happened more than once in the past years. I heard that someone once cut open a Star Debris Meteorite and found mysterious animal bones that were imbued with remarkable cultivation arts.”

Lin Xun couldn’t help but smack his lips. The vast world was indeed full of extraordinary things.

When Miss Le mentioned Heaven Axis Holy Land, Lin Xun subconsciously thought of something.

Back when he was still in the Ziyao Empire, he heard that most of the top students in Qinglu Academy were sent to train in Heaven Axis Holy Land.

But the person who left the greatest impression on Lin Xun was Gu Yunting. He possessed the innate talent of Dao Fire Golden Body and was a well-known leading figure in Qinglu Academy.

However, Lin Xun could not stand that guy. A conflict broke out between them because Gu Yunting arrogantly wanted to take the Kui Ox Horn from him.

Although he didn’t do anything in the end, it still started a conflict.

In addition to Gu Yunting, many people from Qinglu Academy also went to train in the Heaven Axis Holy Land, including Zuo Yujing from the Zuo Clan and Zhao Jingwen from the Imperial Family.

Speaking of that, Lin Xun once had to teach some successors from the Heaven Axis Holy Land a lesson for some reason and that made the successors of the Heaven Axis Holy Land bear a grudge against him.

“Where is the Heaven Axis Holy Land?” Lin Xun asked.

“It’s on the other side of the Boundary River. It’s an ancient sect and is extremely famous in the East Victory World,” Kou Xing answered.

Lin Xun nodded.

As they were talking, they were approaching the vicinity of Chaos Star Beach.

……

Reefs were dotted everywhere, and there seemed to be no end to them.

The gray mist drifted over the land, and occasionally bright starry light flickered like fireflies, casting a mysterious charm over the area.

As Lin Xun’s ship approached the area, he spotted many cultivator figures scattered across the place, some alone and some in groups, but they all seemed to be searching for something.

“Everyone, this area has already been occupied by our Perching Cloud Sect. I advise you to go around here. Anyone who approaches without authorization will be killed!”

As soon as they neared the area, a middle-aged bearded man threatened on one of the reefs, his eyes filled with killing intent.

Lin Xun was taken aback at first. Then, he released his spirit sense and detected a group of cultivators fishing for something in the river.

The black-clothed middle-aged man was on lookout duty.

At the same time, a cultivator cried out, “I found it, I found it, it’s a Star Debris Meteorite of the supreme grade!”

He waved a bowl-sized stone in his hand. It was dark with a cold, metallic sheen. But upon a closer look, there were strands of silvery veins imprinted on the surface of the stone, giving off a dreamy starry glow.

Immediately, the Perching Cloud Sect cultivators all surrounded him.

“Cut it open and have a look!” Their eyes were all fixed on the Star Debris Meteorite, gleaming with excitement.

Lin Xun and the others couldn’t help being curious, but the middle-aged man became more and more defensive and sternly threatened them, “If you don’t leave now, don’t blame me for being rude!”

Kou Xing and the others frowned. The man was only at the initial Cyclic Derivation Stage, which was inferior to them, but he dared to reprimand them in such a way. It was hard not to feel irritated.

“Let’s go.” Lin Xun didn’t mind. Given his current cultivation state, he wouldn’t be provoked so easily.

He wouldn’t care unless someone was deliberately targeting him.

Immediately, they steered the ship around and headed for Chaos Star Beach.

Along the way, on the varying sizes of reefs were cultivators activating different arts to excavate Star Debris Meteorites.

At the same time, many cultivators were glancing around with guarded gazes, wary of anyone approaching.

Lin Xun and the others were frequently threatened and ordered not to get near them. Lin Xun didn’t mind, but the others were filled with pent-up anger.

Furious, Kou Xing couldn’t help but complain, “Damn it, the Chaos Star Beach belongs to no one. Anyone can come to search for treasures, but it has turned into this state!”

“Are you blind? Did you see that our Suspended Sect has occupied this area? Get lost!”

Before long, another cultivator yelled, looking arrogant and aggressive.

Kou Xing threw into a rage. It was not only a warning, but he also pointed them in the face and scolded them!

Boom!

However, Lin Xun responded more directly than Kou Xing. With a stretch of his hand, he grabbed the man in the luxurious robe from a distance.

“You...” The luxurious-robed man stuttered, too frightened to speak. He was about to scream when he landed in front of Lin Xun and the others and he saw stars spin around him.

“I ask the questions and you answer. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you.” Lin Xun lowered his head, scowling at the luxurious-robed man.

The latter froze, and a feeling of great terror rushed up his heart. The gaze was like an abyss about to swallow his soul. He instantly understood the danger of his situation.

“Were there always so many people here?” Lin Xun asked bluntly.

“No.” The man shook his head frantically. “Recently, the Boundary River underwent a sudden change, and that caused some changes in the Chaos Star Beach...”

According to him, although the Chaos Star Beach was rich in Star Debris Meteorites, over the years, countless cultivators had come and excavated all the Star Debris Meteorites.

But recently, the sudden changes in the Boundary River led to Star Debris Meteorites frequently appearing on the Chaos Star Beach, which should have been depleted of its resources.

Most astonishingly, the Star Debris Meteorites seemed to have been buried for an unknown amount of time and were of a higher grade than those found in the past.

Someone even found a piece of Star Debris Meteorite that was the size of a millstone. When it was cut open, they found a broken and rusty bronze halberd that was suspected to be a damaged Saint treasure!

The news caused a sensation as soon as it got out. Countless cultivators swarmed here, and the deserted Chaos Star Beach became buzzing like never again!

“We got the news that some ancient sects will also take action, so we hurriedly came and divided the territory here. We all have been digging with all our strength, hoping to make some harvests before they come. If those ancient sects come, we likely will get nothing.” The man was extremely cooperative, answering every question that Lin Xun asked.

Lin Xun didn’t make things difficult for him and let him go after finding out what he wanted to know.

“The great changes in the Boundary River will inevitably disappear in the end and the four worlds will reunite and no longer be independent.”

Miss Le said ruminatively, “If that’s the case, as this change unfolds, the secrets and opportunities hidden within the Boundary River will emerge in the world, as demonstrated with the Chaos Star Beach.”

She suddenly raised her head and asked Lin Xun with a smile, “What do you think? So you want to try your luck and dig up some meteorites?”

“Okay.” Lin Xun was also curious about the treasures hidden within the Star Debris Meteorites. If he missed out on them, then it could be a great pity.

They continued onwards as they chatted, trying to find an unoccupied part of the beach.

Unfortunately, along the way, all the reefs, regardless of the size, had been guarded by cultivators, and it was hard to find one unoccupied.

“Huh?”

While they were searching, suddenly, Miss Le’s eyes focused on a little island in the distance.
