Chapter 1738: Storm Gathers
Lin Xun was indeed eager to learn more about the Kunlun Dominion.
For example, he wanted to check whether the opportunity related to the strand of horsetail whisk was connected to Fangchun Mountain.
For example, he wanted to investigate the Fengshan Platform, which was named one of the Three Forbidden of Kunlun. After all, the Treasure Refining Origin Furnace was born there.
Moreover, he held a part of the Treasure Refining Origin Furnace!
“When I return, let’s have a drink together again.”
Lin Xun gave a cupped fist salute and said goodbye to everyone, then he turned around and left with A’hu.
While watching his departing figure, Mi Hengzhen couldn’t help but sigh, “Every time I see that guy, I feel like he’s getting farther and farther away...”
The others also felt a vortex of emotions.
The geniuses and talents of the same generation as Lin Xun appeared dim, helpless, and even pathetic. This was because regardless of how remarkable they were, Lin Xun would always surpass them in an incomprehensible way and force them to bow their heads in defeat!
This was true for Yun Qingbai, a leading figure of the younger generation in the Ancient Wasteland Domain. It was also true for the leading figures of the younger generation in the other domains.Would it also be the same in the Ancient Nebula Road in the future?
“It is a blessing to be his friend, but to his enemy...it is a tragedy.” Ye Mohe sighed.
Lin Xun was like the sun in the sky. His brilliance might be obscured by dark clouds at times, but the clouds would dissipate eventually!
Those who envied and admired him felt helpless knowing that they had no hope of catching up to him.
Those who hated him or were his enemies were either killed or on their way to death!
Little Silver, Little Sky, Toady and A’lu quietly listened without saying anything, but they felt very proud inside. The feeling was truly...beautiful.
Only the big black bird muttered, “That’s because I haven’t shown my power. You guys are idiots who know nothing. You can’t even tell the difference between gold and jade...”
Everyone ignored him. The thieving bird’s boastful nature was already well known to all, so no one bothered to pay attention to him.
The big black bird turned red with embarrassment. He felt unappreciated, like a woman fluttering her eyelashes at a blind man or a towering tree that no one realized the value of until it grew to the clouds.
……
The summit of Imperial Dragon Mountain.
Lin Xun and A’hu walked out of the fog-shrouded area.
A’hu asked, “Are you going to search for the opportunity related to the strand of horsetail whisk?”
“Yes, didn’t you say that this strand of horsetail whisk pertains to some secrets of the Fangchun Mountain lineage? I want to take this opportunity to find out more.” Lin Xun nodded.
Images appeared in his mind.
The unruly figure soaring into the sky, Ghost King Xuan Kong, Senior Brother Xue Ya whom he had never met, and Li Xuanwei who had left the Dao Immeasurable Bottle to him.
They were all his senior brothers!
“It won’t be easy.” A’hu’s voice had an apologetic tone. “When I got that item, I was only certain that it came from the Kunlun Dominion a long time ago and that it was connected to Fangchun Mountain. As for where its related treasure is hidden…I have no idea.”
“It’s okay, just go with the flow.” Lin Xun smiled, put his hands behind his back, and gazed into the distance. “In this world, most of the great daos in the world can be forced as long as you seek them wholeheartedly, but opportunities can only be left to fate.”
“Brother Lin, if you want to go to Fengshan Platform, I can help you.”
A’hu looked at Lin Xun with her crystal clear eyes. “Meng Yi from the Qiongqi Battle Clan has a Fengshan Monumental Tablet. I also have something that can dispel some of the dangers you encounter on the way to the Fengshan Platform.”
Lin Xun remembered that Meng Yi had once invited him to travel to the Fengshan Platform together. After counting the days, he realized it was almost time.
He said thoughtfully, “A’hu, the Fengshan Platform is one of the three forbidden lands of Kunlun, which means the dangers there will not be ordinary. Do you think we need to take this risk?”
“I personally think that it is best to check it out.” A’hu thought for a moment and added, “It is said that the Fengshan Platform conceals the secret to becoming Emperor, but whether this secret actually exists or not is still widely debated.
“But as far as I know, there is a fortune linked to the Saint Path Ritual at the Fengshan Platform and many people have obtained it in the past.”
Lin Xun exclaimed in surprise, “Is there really such a thing?”
“Yes, as long as you can step onto the mysterious Fengshan Platform, you can seek the opportunity to become a Sage.”
A’hu continued, “It’s just that very few experts have been able to step onto the Fengshan Platform alive. There’s just too many dangers, so most cultivators dare not cross the line for fear of losing their lives.
“Only the elites from the Great Six Courts and Great Ten BattleCclans have the background and foundation to consider entering the Fengshan Platform.
“This is because their respective sects and clans hold secrets and techniques that prevent them from running into danger on the Fengshan Platform.
“For example Meng Yi has the Fengshan Monumental Tablet.”
Lin Xun fell silent for a moment, and then he said aloud, “Then let’s make a trip there!”
……
While Lin Xun and A’hu were planning their journey to Fengshan Platform, a storm was gathering in Kunlun Ruins.
In a secret realm, chaos qi roared, law powers were intertwined, and the sound of great dao resounded. It was as if a dao ancestor was expounding scripture.
“Right now, I am just missing an opportunity to make my Saint Path Ritual...”
Wen Qingxue stood up and walked out of the cave.
Her dress was whiter than snow, tied at the waist with a golden ribbon. Her long black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall and her face was as ethereally beautiful as a celestial. Her beauty and grace was unparalleled.
As she moved forward, wisps of beautiful light swirled around her, making her figure even more ethereal and illusory.
This secret realm contained a dao fruit that was connected to the true meaning of the Saint Dao. She had already refined it and integrated it into her own cultivation!
“Senior Sister Qingxue, I received news yesterday that Kun Jiulin, a successor of the Primordial Dao Court, has died.”
A successor of the Panwu Dao Court had been waiting outside the cave for a long time. Upon seeing Wen Qingxue emerge from closed-door cultivation, he urgently reported the matter to her.
“He died?! What happened?” Wen Qingxue was taken aback.
“Yesterday, a fierce battle broke out at the summit of Imperial Dragon Mountain...”
After learning the truth of the matter from the Panwu Dao Court disciple, Wen Qingxue narrowed her beautiful, clear eyes.
Lin Xun, who came from the Ancient Wasteland Domain, climbed the mountain alone and killed hundreds of powerful successors and descendants including Kun Jiulin, Gu Cangxin and Tao Jianxing?
The Panwu Dao Court successor said in a resentful and jealous tone, “Senior Sister Qingxue, this matter has spread to the outside world now, and they now call Lin Xun a demon god! He has behaved with unbearable insolence!”
Wen Qingxue was silent for a moment, then said aloud, “Kun Jiulin is Kun Xinghe’s younger brother. I will avenge him.”
Other Panwu Dao Court disciples were shocked to hear her plan and tried to dissuade her.
“Senior Sister Qingxue, it’s not good to mess with that person. Many successors of powerful forces now regard you as a formidable enemy and dare not to provoke you.”
Wen Qingxue swept a glance at them and did not give a direct answer. “In a few years, the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings will be re-evaluated. When that happens, I will definitely be in the top ten.”
She drifted away.
Top ten of the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings?
The Panwu Dao Court disciples all froze in astonishment. Only then did they realize that Wen Qingxue...was that strong!
..…
Meteoric Ridge, one of the Nine Secrets of Kunlun.
At the bottom of a huge ravine, a very remote dangerous spot that no ordinary people could reach, someone was in closed-door cultivation.
Following an earthshaking roar, a man rose to his feet. His eyes snapped open, and light beamed out one after another, splitting the sky and the earth.
The beams of light were too terrifying and dazzling!
As he inhaled, the energy around him spread outwards, causing the mountains and valleys to quake and the world to dim.
Billowing demonic qi shrouded him as though he was an invincible divine fiend!
Only after a long moment did the strange phenomena subside. The man restrained the aura around him and his snow-white hair floated with the wind, revealing a handsome but abnormally pale face.
Hua Xingli!
He was one of the core successors of the All-Demon Dao Court and was a fierce cold-blooded character who acted unscrupulously.
“Congratulations Young Master! It’s a success!”
Other All-Demon Dao Court successors rushed over and greeted him in unison with respectful and humble expressions.
Xue Qingyi was among them.
“So this is the power of the fortune. In just seven days, I have been completely transformed and have reached the state of perfection on the Saint path.”
Hua Xingli exclaimed in amazement and then he asked, “Has anything big happened in the past few days?”
“Yes!’
Xue Qingyi was the first to step forward and report the bloody battle of Imperial Dragon Mountain.
In the end, he hissed through gritted teeth, “Young Master, you should now know the true face of Lin Xun. He is a brutal killer. If we allow him to live, then he will become trouble in the future!”
Hua Xingli shot a look at Xue Qingyi. “I know exactly what you are thinking. You want to borrow my power to deal with Lin Xun. This is not impossible, but from now on, you’d better not try your little tricks again.”
He said this all indifferently.
But Xue Qingyi broke out in a cold sweat.
Hua Xingli retracted his gaze and walked away. “Let’s go, it’s time to head to the Fengshan Platform. If my speculation is correct, Wen Qingxue, Meng Yi, and Zhuanyu Heng...also have their sights set on Fengshan Platform...”
His figure gradually disappeared into the distance, and his voice gradually became inaudible.
……
Kunlun Ruins, in a secret realm transformed from a flower stamen.
Sha Liuqing, who was in a state of comprehension, suddenly opened his eyes, and an eerie light shone in his brown eyes.
“The Great Mysterious Teleportation Art has finally been perfected. Lin Xun, the next time we meet, I will give you the gift of death...” His eyes flashed with terrifying murderous intent.
Then, his body squirmed like an earthworm and he turned into a wisp of gray mist.
Although the Kunlun Ruins was riddled with dangers, it was also littered with secret realms, opportunities, and fortunes.
Not only Lin Xun, but other powerful characters who entered the Kunlun Ruins also had a good harvest during this time!
This was true for people such as Wen Qingxue and Hua Xingli.
Also, some terrifying figures that had never been noticed also began to show up in the Kunlun Ruins.
