The Prodigies War-Novel

Chapter 1217 Good Fortune and Karma

Although Lin Xun had successfully subdued the Dustless Dao Fire, he paid a heavy price.

Only after consuming a total of sixteen king-grade herbs did he fully restore his body.

In fact, throughout the process of conquering the five great dao fires, Lin Xun had inadvertently undergone five rebirths!

He was akin to a piece of iron that had been destroyed five times and remolded five times.

He had consumed dozens of king-grade herbs in the process, but their essence allowed him to reconstruct and temper his body to an extremely powerful state.

His body was crystal clear, emitting wondrous light, and his muscles, bones and skin produced incredible life force like they were made up of divine gold.

Even his hair was glowing with sacred light. In fact, his strands of hair could be used as precious aeth materials!

Undoubtedly, this was an unexpected harvest. It built a strong and solid foundation for Lin Xun who had never embarked on the path of physique cultivation.

Feeling that his strength had been restored to its peak, Lin Xun fixed his gaze on the Cauldron Dao Fire that seemed to be standing for eternity in the sea of fire.

The five Alpha Dao Fires had been subdued. All that was left was the great fortune that Lin Xun had his eyes on all along!

Buzz—

However, before Lin Xun could do anything, a fire warrior suddenly appeared and said with a cupped fist salute, “Young Master, please stop.” The voice was as empty and indifferent as before but tinged with politeness, which was undoubtedly a kind of acknowledgement to Lin Xun.

Lin Xun wrinkled his brows. “Are you stopping me?”

The fire warrior shook his head. “If you continue, then you will set off unpredictable disasters and completely destroy the sealed opportunities.”

Lin Xun asked thoughtfully, “Do you mean that if I attack the cauldron, everything here will disappear?”

The fire warrior nodded. “However, Young Master, if you want to take away the Dao Fire, then it is not impossible.”

“What do you mean by that?”

Lin Xun’s dark eyes lit up. Of course, that would be better than taking action.

“That Dao Fire was born from the origin of chaos and sealed here. If you can make it submit to you then it will follow and serve you without you doing anything,” explained the fire warrior.

Lin Xun glanced at the cauldron and frowned. “How can I make it submit without using force?”

“You just need to gain its approval,” stated the fire warrior.

As for how to obtain its approval, the fire warrior did not mention anything.

Lin Xun contemplated and finally decided to give it a try.

……

Outside of the volcano, Zhen Yunfeng, Ji Xingyao, Toady and the others were all waiting anxiously.

Some time ago, thunder-like rumbles rang from the volcano from time to time and armies of Origin Dao Fires rushed into it.

A feeling of worry gripped them at that sight. They feared that Lin Xun would be in danger.

They could imagine that a terrifying battle was happening at the bottom of the volcano. But could Demon God Lin survive?

“Huh?” Ji Xingyao noticed the erupting volcano stilled and became eerily quiet.

Then, everyone noticed that even the thousands of Origin Dao Fire spewing out from the volcano had vanished.

Additionally, they sensed that the blazing aura of destruction that saturated the world was rapidly receding.

Although the temperature was still fiery hot, the atmosphere was no longer oppressive and suffocating.

What happened?

Everyone was perplexed.

At that moment, Lin Xun’s lone and majestic figure appeared in the volcanic crater.

Clad in moon-white clothes, with flowy black hair, and bathed in illusory dao light, he resembled a transcendent being drifting in the sky from afar.

He came out!

Everyone buzzed over the unexpected sight and their leaping hearts started to settle in their chests.

Lin Xun walked towards them in large strides, but as he left, the flared red volcano grew colder and grayer as though it was about to extinguish.

Everyone’s expression changed. What is happening?

“Lin Xun, did you get any great fortune?” Toady yelled out.

Lin Xun nodded. “Let’s leave here first.”

Everyone glanced at each other, suppressing all kinds of suspicions in their hearts, and followed Lin Xun.

Boom!

Behind them, the volcano that concealed an unknown amount of Origin Dao Fire sank with a rumble and vanished from their sight.

Astonishment filled everyone again as they all knew that something earthshaking had to have happened inside the volcano to trigger the unexpected change.

Moreover, it had to be related to Lin Xun!

Once they left Xumi Cave and returned to the stone tower, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

However, Lin Xun still did not say a word. His brows were knitted in a frown, and he quickened his pace, following the path they came on.

Even though everyone had a lot of questions, they still held back from interrogating Lin Xun.

While pushing forward, Lin Xun looked a little perturbed.

Before this, he had attempted to communicate with the Cauldron Dao Fire via his spirit sense, but he was shocked to discover an invisible restraining power surrounded by the fire.

It was precisely that restricting force that sealed the Cauldron Dao Fire at the bottom of the volcano and limited its movements.

However, the restraining force did not harm Lin Xun, but instead projected a column of ancient written symbols—

“To obtain this fire means to be entangled with the karma of it. To understand the karma means to consult all the wonders. No matter who you are. I dare to ask, are you willing to take this fire to the All-Wonder Dominion?”

The All-Wonder Dominion, one of the four great dao dominions, was rumored to exist in the depths of the starry sky.

Lin Xun was no stranger to the rumors about that place. He even held some treasures said to be related to the All-Wonder Dominion.

He just never expected to be inadvertently linked to the All-Wonder Dominion once again as he was about to harvest the Cauldron Dao Fire!

He understood that karma came with the fire and if he was determined to get his hands on it, he was destined to suffer the karma it brought, and this karma involved the All-Wonder Dominion.

However, he never thought to search for such a legend-like place.

But in the end, he agreed.

The Cauldron Dao Fire was very important to him. He only risked his life to reach the bottom of the volcano to find a Dao Fire suitable for himself, so as to raise and refine his own Supreme King Weapon.

Then, the restriction was lifted, and the Cauldron Dao Fire smoothly came to Lin Xun’s hand. No other accident happened after that.

It seemed to be going well, but Lin Xun knew that he had been entangled with the karma of the cauldron!

As for how to resolve it, that was something he needed to deal with in the future. He should not have to worry about vague and insubstantial karma.

What truly surprised Lin Xun was that the fire was called All-Wonder!

This proved that the fire had to be closely linked with the legendary All-Wonder Dominion!

The All-Wonder Dao Fire gracefully hovered above the Dao Seed in Lin Xun’s body.

Surrounding the All-Wonder Dao Fire were the Eternal Silent Dao Fire, Dustless Dao Fire, Five Aggregates Dao Fire, Golden Blaze Dao Fire and Purple Brilliance Dao Fire, which respectively took the form of a black ruler, white jade book, five-colored deer, golden lantern and purple painting.

The five Alpha Dao Fire had been subdued by Lin Xun, but they still protected the All-Wonder Dao Fire like guards.

This only further emphasized the extraordinariness of the All-Wonder Dao Fire.

Boom!

As Lin Xun and the others got out of the tomb world, the entire ancient tomb sank like a hill.

It vanished in a cloud of smoke and dust.

Lin Xun and the others found not a trace of it after searching very carefully.

It was as if the tomb evaporated into thin air.

But they all knew that everything they experienced was real!

“Brother Lin, can I ask what happened at the bottom of the volcano?”

Ji Xingyao couldn’t help but ask, and everyone else stared at Lin Xun with curious gazes.

Lin Xun smiled. “I encountered an extraordinary Alpha Dao Fire and to subdue it, I had to fight with all my strength. Fortunately, I succeeded by luck.”

After a pause, he continued, “But because of that battle, the volcano was affected and sank into silence. I don’t know when it will reappear or where...”

This was only partly true, but no one intended to get to the bottom of it.This chapter is updated by novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net

After all, this was Lin Xun's private business. If he did not want to talk about it, then no matter how many questions they asked, they were only wasting their time.

While speaking, Lin Xun turned his hand over, revealing two Origin Dao Fire, which immediately drew everyone’s attention.

Then, to everyone’s disbelief, Lin Xun gifted the two Dao Fire to Yin Xue and Zhan Luxiu!

These were invaluable treasures that were so rare that they could only be encountered by chance and they had long been extinct in the outside world.

But Lin Xun casually gave two away!

For a moment, both Zhan Luxiu and Yin Xue spaced out from astonishment.

“It’s a gift from Brother Lin, so why don’t you quickly accept it? You should seize this chance when it is still available!” Zhen Yunfeng urged with a smile.

He also felt rather complicated feelings—a mix of shock, respect, and admiration.

If it were him, then he likely would not be as generous!

“Brother Lin, thank you so much. We will never forget your kindness.”

Yin Xue and Zhan Luxiu both inhaled deeply and expressed their gratitude solemnly.

Lin Xun smiled. Those were only two of the several Origin Dao Fires he picked up on his way back.

If he was not in a hurry, then he would have collected many more.

Everyone else guessed that, but no one said anything. Those were Lin Xun’s opportunities, and no one else had a say in them.

“When there’s a suitable time, I will give you an Alpha Dao Fire.”

Meanwhile, Lin Xun sent a message to Toady. He felt that the Golden Blaze Dao Fire suited Toady very well.

Toady did not move a muscle of his countenance, but his heart was filled with wild joy. He responded, “I bet you had a good harvest there!”

Immediately, he changed the topic, his voice quivering with hatred, “But, I don’t want your Alpha Dao Fire. I must take back what I lost to that bastard, Wang Xuanyu. Otherwise, I can never stomach this ball of anger and resentment!”
