The Prodigies War

Chapter 1747: Mount Kunlun

The Fengshan Platform forbidden zone.

A mountain stood in the deepest depths of this land.

The mountain was 900,000 feet tall and reached straight into the sky. It was so enormous and majestic that no one would doubt it if told it was the very first peak to emerge from the primal chaos of the beginning!

This mountain was rumored to be the core of the Kunlun Dominion and was known as Mount Kunlun!

Since ancient times, numerous cultivators had speculated that Mount Kunlun was not of this world because it was far too divine and grand.

Even physical cultivation Saints who could transform into giants would feel as insignificant as ants when they stood before the mountain.

Fengshan Platform was located at the top of Mount Kunlun.

Presently, a look of wonder and amazement spread between Meng Yi's brows as he stood in front of Mount Kunlun. "Simply spectacular!"

Chaos qi filled the air like countless waterfalls hanging from the sky. Even mere rocks and plants appeared crystalline and shimmered with divine radiance.

In the sky, various seemingly corporeal Dao Law Powers flowed in the forms of auspicious lights, light particles, divine rays, and other similar phenomena, creating a gorgeous array of lights and colors.

While the dao was often described as formless and ungraspable, in Mount Kunlun, it felt as if one could simply reach out and touch it!

This place was one of the Kunlun Dominion's three forbidden zones and it was a mysterious area that could drive any cultivator crazy.

It was even rumored that the secrets to becoming an Emperor or an Ancestor were hidden somewhere in this vast land!

Wen Qingxue flatly said, "The path up Mount Kunlun is currently covered by the Grand Dao Flood and it will take at least seven days before it begins to recede. In other words, we need to wait seven days before we can start ascending the mountain."

Her clothes fluttered in the wind as she stood there like a beautiful fairy. She was surrounded by a group of Panwu Dao Court disciples like stars surrounding the moon, which further reflected her extraordinary status.

The Grand Dao Flood was an unstoppable flood of Grand Dao Law Power. Due to its overwhelming mass and berserk nature, it was impossible to cross while it was covering the mountain path.

Any cultivator who got too close would be drowned and killed!

Hence, there was no choice but to wait to climb the mountain.

Meng Yi nodded and cast his gaze into the distance.

They weren't the only group in the vicinity of Mount Kunlun. Others were also present such as Hua Xingli and his group from the All-Demon Dao Court, Tang Su of the Wild Blade Battle Clan, the Red Sun Battle Clan, the Blackwater Battle Clan, and the Heavenly Ghost Battle Clan…

Nearly all of them were disciples of the Six Great Dao Courts and Ten Great Battle Clans. In other words, no ordinary cultivators were present.

It was because they simply weren't qualified and didn't possess the strength to reach Mount Kunlun.

One must know that thousands of cultivators had entered the Kunlun Dominion. In spite of this, only a handful of them had managed to make it here.

This small group of people, however, were all very formidable individuals.

In fact, there were a few among them whom even Meng Yi was wary of.

For instance, the Imperial Xu Clan's Xu Lingkun was a terrifying expert ranked thirteenth on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings who boasted unparalleled combat prowess.

There was also Zhuanyu Heng, a core disciple of the Imperial Zhuanyu Clan. He was known for his ruthless character, and hard-lined attitude, and was ranked tenth on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings!

He was basically considered an overlord among his peers of the Ancient Nebula Road, an existence that was akin to a proud sun in the sky.

While Meng Yi wasn't afraid of anyone, he knew he would definitely be at a disadvantage if he had to face peerless powerhouses like Xu Lingkun and Zhuanyu Heng.

That was why he made a deal with Wen Qingxue to kill Lin Xun in exchange for her help.

With her on his side, he would no longer have to fear the likes of Xu Lingkun and Zhuanyu Hengyu.

Wen Qingxue suddenly asked, "Brother Meng, are you certain Lin Xun…is dead?"

Meng Yi put aside his thoughts and smiled. "Fairy Qingxue, do you still not trust me?"

With a flip of his hand, a screen appeared. Displayed upon it was the scene of Lin Xun and A'hu being bound by God Binding Heavenly Peak.

"That wild bastard was truly unfortunate. I can't imagine how depressing it is to meet one's end at God Binding Heavenly Peak."

"Haha, that cruel savage murdered countless people in the Kunlun Dominion. Moreover, remember how insufferably arrogant he was? It's great that he's dead."

The Panwu Dao Court disciples gloated over Lin Xun's demise.

Only Wen Qingxue's expression remained indifferent as she asked, "What if he didn't die?"

Meng Yi couldn't help but laugh. "How is that possible? Since the dawn of time, every expert bound by God Binding Heavenly Peak ultimately died, including an Emperor Stage existence."

The others nodded in agreement. They had naturally heard the tales about God Binding Heavenly Peak. It was a mountain of death!

Wen Qingxue asked again, "But what if he survived?"

Meng Yi grew a little unhappy, but he didn't dare show his annoyance.

While Wen Qingxue might seem to have a low rank on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings, Meng Yi knew that the fairy of Panwu Dao Court had obtained an unimaginable blessing in the recent hundred years which made her cultivation incomparable to the past.

According to his secret intel, Wen Qingxue would easily climb to at least the top thirty when the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings were re-evaluated in a few years. In fact, even the top ten wouldn't be out of her reach!

Meng Yi still needed Wen Qingxue's help, so he could only hold it on for the moment.

He contemplated briefly before he said, "Even if he survived, he must cross this location in order to get from God Binding Heavenly Mountain to Mount Kunlun."

As he spoke, he took out an old yellowing map, unfolded it in front of Wen Qingxue, and pointed at a certain spot.

"This is the Hidden Ghost Blood River where countless Flying Night Ghosts lurk. When gathered in large enough groups, no Saint will be able to stop them, even with a Flying Immortal Tablet!"

Meng Yi looked confident and spoke with certainty.

Wen Qingxue nodded.

……

At the bank of the Hidden Ghost Blood River.

A'hu suddenly stopped as her expression abruptly changed. "Oh no, this seems to be the rumored Hidden Ghost Blood River!"

Lin Xun frowned. He had also heard of this famously dangerous location in the Fengshan Platform forbidden zone.

However, he couldn't sense any danger no matter how hard he tried.

Soon, A'hu also noticed that the river was surprisingly calm. Contrary to expectation, there were no signs of any danger.

Omm~

The horsetail whisk strand fluttered in Lin Xun's palm, pointing the way like a gentle spring breeze.

Lin Xun and A'hu looked at each other. In the end, they decided to advance and investigate.

However, they encountered no danger even after crossing the river and arriving at the other side.

The duo couldn't help but be stunned.

"This..."

A'hu was baffled. What is going on?

Something seemed to click in Lin Xun as he looked at the strand in his hand. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Let's go. Isn't it good that there's no danger?"

After the two of them finally disappeared, the extremely quiet Hidden Ghost Blood River began to churn again.

The Flying Night Ghosts hiding in the depths of the river heaved a long sigh of relief.

However, Lin Xun and A'hu remained unaware of this.

As they traveled, the journey began to feel a little dull because every supposed danger zone turned out to be unusually quiet and peaceful.

No incidents occurred no matter where they passed.

"Something's wrong…it feels like our luck has turned around and we're being protected by the heavens."

A'hu had received several shocks and even her pupils were beginning to quiver slightly.

"I don't know if the heavens are protecting us, but I'm sure it isn't luck…"

Lin Xun stroked the pointing strand in his hand as a warm feeling spread in his heart.

Although Ninth Senior Brother Ge Yupu had passed away, the strand in Lin Xun's hand made him feel a sense of comfort as if Ninth Senior Brother was silently accompanying him.

……

"Brother Meng, you'd best not forget the numerous killing moves Gu Cangxin and Tao Jianxing had prepared at Imperial Dragon Mountain…"

In front of Mount Kunlun, Wen Qingxue said, "Even with all that, we both know what happened in the end."

Meng Yi's eyes flickered. He pointed at the map again and said, "Fairy Qingxue, besides the Hidden Ghost Blood River, there's also the Thousand Decay Mountain Stela that can trap Saint-Kings, the Swamp of Flowing Fire that deters even quasi-Emperors, and…"

He named several famous danger zones of the Fengshan Platform forbidden zone.

"Even if he miraculously manages to survive once or twice. How can he possibly survive the third or fourth time?"

Towards the end, even Meng Yi found it ridiculous.

Such assumptions were meaningless because God Binding Heavenly Peak alone was more than sufficient to reap Lin Xun's life!

Wen Qingxue asked, "So you feel I regard him too highly?"

Meng Yi hurriedly shook his head and said, "Fairy Qingxue, please don't misunderstand. Let's put it this way. If Lin Xun appears alive in front of Mount Kunlun, then I, Meng Yi, will slit my neck and commit suicide!"

He spoke with such strong conviction that it even drew the attention of the nearby cultivators.

Surprised, the Wild Blade Battle Clan's Tang Su blurted out, "Lin Xun died? But I was planning to have a good fight with him in front of Fengshen Platform."

The other cultivators displayed various expressions.

Some gloated, some looked amused, and some looked excited as if they had taken their revenge.

"I can’t believe that Lin Xun is dead."

"Abominable, how could he die like that? I haven't even gotten my revenge on him."

A commotion soon followed.

Meng Yi went along with the flow and revealed the news of Lin Xun meeting his end by God Binding Heavenly Peak. Moreover, he emphasized that there was no falsehood in this information.

Even the cultivators in the distance were soon alerted.

Xu Lingkun's eyes flashed like lightning as dazzling gold light flowed along him. Upon learning of Lin Xun's death, he couldn't help but frown. "He's lucky he died in such a timely manner. If I were to encounter him, his death would be far worse…"

He originally planned to avenge Kun Jiulin. Who could have expected that Lin Xun would die before he could achieve this vengeance?

In a concealed corner, Sha Liuqing and Ku Du were also surprised, unable to believe their target had died just like that.

For a time, both of them felt an unbearable sensation in their hearts that made their expressions ugly. It felt as if all of their efforts had gone down the drain!

"How could he die just like that?"

Sha Liuqing's expression was filled with hatred as he angrily gnashed his teeth.

The black-clothed monk, Ku Du, was also so frustrated that he wanted to curse out loud. The damned Meng Yi had ruined their plans!
