The majestic ice mountain’s clear, snow-white body gleamed beautifully as it seemed to reach into the sky.
Lin Xun was quietly meditating on the mountain.
The mountain was shrouded in a Divine Battle Seal from the ancient era which gave off an ancient, vast, and astonishing battle intent.
Lin Xun was immediately alarmed the moment he attempted to comprehend the battle intent. The aura from the Divine Battle Seal was incredibly pure and divine. It instantly resonated with his aura, producing unrestrainable battle intent.
With a deep breath, Lin Xun forcibly suppressed his battle intent and continued to comprehend the aura.
He was already certain that the Divine Battle Seal’s aura would tremendously benefit his martial dao cultivation!
By supplementing one’s martial dao attainments with comprehension of such battle intent, one would be able to deduce and infer other things related to the martial dao.
Lin Xun quickly scanned the surroundings and found that Sha Liuchan, Li Qinghuan, Wu Duanya, and the other supreme heaven prides weren’t wasting time either and were immersed in meditation in their respective zones.
Evidently, they already knew the wonderful usage of the Divine Battle Seal’s aura.
Without further ado, Lin Xun cast aside other thoughts and focused on comprehending.
He also activated the Qiuniu Heart to more easily and directly perceive the essence of the Divine Battle Seal.
Meanwhile, Lin Xun didn’t completely let his guard down. He could easily multi-task since he had already cultivated a divine spirit. While comprehending, he made sure to continuously scan the surroundings with Chaofeng Eye.
After all, it was through Chaofeng Eye’s ability that he had been able to sense the eight-petal fire lotus’ appearance in advance and subsequently obtain it.
It was a secret art that could read the aura of the land and see through all deceptions with a single glance.
Hence, on the Fire Lotus Ice Mountain, Lin Xun could detect subtle changes that others were unable to perceive and predict where the Fire Lotus Flower would appear before anyone else.
Time passed little by little.
The summit area was silent, and no Fire Lotus Flower appeared again.
Instead, Fire Lotus Flowers appeared one after another at the lower area of the mountain, causing competition to break out among the experts camping there.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, these Fire Lotus Flowers would have at most five petals, making them mid-grade and below quality. Such flowers were not very attractive to Lin Xun and the other supreme heaven prides.
Several heaven prides faced life-threatening danger amidst the competition and were unfortunately eliminated.
At the same time, many new heaven prides arrived, and began to climb the mountain to compete for opportunities.
Of course, this wasn’t just limited to the Ice Snow Secret Realm. Similar scenes were also playing out in the other Reverse Five Elements Secret Realm.
Some were eliminated while others obtained rewards, some were happy while others were sad.
……
Hmm?
Lin Xun suddenly got up and rushed toward Wu Duanya’s area.
"What are you doing?!"
Wu Duanya's expression immediately changed as he drew his battle blade in alarm.
Crash~
Lin Xun ignored him and instead grabbed at a nearby ice boulder.
There was originally nothing there, but when Lin Xun reached out toward it, a brilliant, seemingly burning lotus flower appeared.
Whoosh!
The seven-petal fire lotus was collected by Lin Xun in the blink of an eye.
Wu Duanya's eyes widened in surprise as his face burned with embarrassment. He realized that he had reacted too intensely earlier and felt somewhat ashamed.
To make things worse, if Lin Xun had not moved, the seven-petal fire lotus would have been his!
The other supreme heaven prides were also alerted to the disturbance. When they saw what happened, their expressions turned a little strange for a while as their eyes flickered in thought.
It might have been pure luck if it happened once.
However, he had moved before anyone else again and snatched up another fire lotus. This obviously meant that there was more than luck at play!
He must possess some kind of secret art that allowed him to sense where the fire lotus would appear in advance!
The supreme heaven prides present arrived at the same conclusion which made their expressions darken slightly. If this was true, how would they compete for the fire lotus with Lin Xun?
Lin Xun returned to his position and sat down again as if nothing had happened. He continued to meditate, ignoring the gazes that were looking at him.
Six hours later.
Lin Xun once again moved before anyone else and seized an eight-petal fire lotus.
It made the others’ faces turn increasingly ugly and they began to look at Lin Xun with unfriendly eyes.
Most of them were still empty-handed despite patiently waiting here for so long and even the rare few who did get something had to fight through fierce competition.
Their experiences were a far cry from Lin Xun, who had effortlessly obtained three fire lotuses!
Moreover, they weren’t ordinary fire lotuses but rare treasures that contained dao arts!
Each fire lotus represented a dao art. Hence, its value was so tremendous that it could not be measured by the wealth of society!
This was precisely why the other supreme heaven prides were unable to remain composed. It felt as disgusting as swallowing a fly and caused their eyes to harden.
"Lin Xun, aren’t you going too far?" Sha Liuchan’s expression was stormy and there was an irrepressible anger in his voice.
"All of us are camping here but you’re monopolizing everything. Your actions are simply unsightly!"
Wu Duanya also said in a cold voice, "I have something to ask everyone. Have you guys resigned yourselves to just watch and allow this to continue?"
The eyes of the other supreme heaven prides flashed in anger. "Of course not!"
Lin Xun raised an eyebrow and smiled. "You guys don’t have the ability to seize the opportunities and are instead blaming me for that? Don't you feel ashamed as so-called famous supreme heaven prides of the West Infinity World?"
Everyone's faces became increasingly ugly. They secretly wished they could strangle the bastard because he was simply too infuriating!
"Lin Xun, do you want to make enemies with all of us? No matter how strong you are, I don’t think you’ll be able to contend against all of us together, right?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSha Liuchan suddenly rose to his feet as an icy light shot from his eyes.
He evidently wanted to rope the others in to form an alliance against Lin Xun!
Sure enough, although the others didn't say anything, they began to menacingly glare at Lin Xun.
However, Lin Xun merely displayed a faint smile and said, "True, I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to face all of you alone, but I promise that if we fight, I will at least pull some of you along with me to hell!"
Everyone's expressions changed slightly. They didn't expect that Demon God Lin would still refuse to back down and instead show such a strong front at this juncture.
"There’s no need for everyone to go so far."
Li Qinghuan smiled and said, "From what I can see, if we want to seize the next fire lotus, we’ll only need to follow Dao Friend Lin’s eyes and act accordingly."
Someone asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
"It's simple. Since Dao Friend Lin can predict where the fire lotus will appear, we only need to pay attention to his movements to compete."
Li Qinghuan explained with a smile, allowing everyone else to understand. Their eyes immediately brightened and they began to look at Lin Xun as if he was prey.
"Wonderful!" Wu Duanya laughed heartily.
"That's a good idea." Sha Liuchan also nodded.
Only Lin Xun frowned, realizing that things were going to become somewhat troublesome.
He could indeed use Chaofeng Eye to predict where the fire lotus will appear, but if others were watching him, they would be able to move the moment he did and compete.
Worst of all, Lin Xun strongly suspected that the others would likely target him first.
Lin Xun glanced at Li Qinghuan and inwardly remarked that although he seemed low-key and modest, his methods were more terrifying than Sha Liuchan and the others.
"In that case, let us each rely on our own abilities."
Lin Xun smiled and didn't say anything else.
Several hours passed.
Suddenly, Lin Xun stood up and dashed toward Li Qinghuan’s area.
Boom!
Meanwhile, the other supreme heaven prides who had been closely watching Lin Xun moved without hesitation.
