The Prodigies War

Chapter 1753 Fengshan Trail

Lin Xun exhaled deeply and looked toward Mount Kunlun.

Anyone who had nearly been killed after being tricked would never forgive a despicable person like Meng Yi.

Even if Meng Yi had knelt, begged for mercy, and offered to compensate him a thousand times over, Lin Xun would show no mercy.

"Are you still able to fight?"

A'hu floated over from afar. The sight of her snow-white skin paired with her yellow dress made it impossible to find any fault with her beauty.

"Since I recently advanced my cultivation realm, the earlier battle was merely a little warm-up to consolidate my cultivation."

A'hu couldn't help but chuckle as her beautiful eyes glimmered enchantingly. "You're quite the narcissist."

Lin Xun rubbed his nose and helplessly said, "The problem is there wasn't even a single decent fighter among them. It honestly leaves me utterly speechless."

A'hu laughed so hard that she hugged her stomach and slightly bent over. She rolled her eyes at Lin Xun and said, "The real power players haven't made their moves yet. Those like Zhuanyu Heng and Xu Lingkun won't be easy to deal with."

Lin Xun grunted in acknowledgment. He decided their next course of action would be to ascend the mountain.

After all, although Meng Yi was dead, Wen Qingxue was still alive!

……

Mount Kunlun was filled with life. The vegetation that flourished upon it brimmed with vitality, chaos qi permeated the air, and auspicious rain sprinkled onto the land.

Anyone who walked upon it would feel infinitely small while filled with a strong sense of awe.

The entire mountain was also covered in a mysterious restriction power that prohibited flying. Hence, everyone was forced to walk no matter how high their cultivation. 

This was similar to the restriction on Imperial Dragon Mountain.

"As one of the Three Great Forbidden Grounds of Kunlun Dominion, Fengshan Platform has always been known for its mysteriousness."

Along the way, A'hu swiftly transmitted, "Although no cultivator has ever obtained the secrets to becoming an Emperor or Ancestor in this land, the big wigs of Ancient Nebula Road still believe that such a supreme blessing exists on Fengshan Platform."

Lin Xun observed the scenery as he said, "Emperors and Ancestors are still far beyond our reach. Even if we manage to prove the existence of such blessings, it's not something we can comprehend at our level. Hence, I have little interest in such things."

A'hu shared the same sentiment. "Everyone naturally understands this as well. Therefore, the real draw of Fengshan Platform is an opportunity related to the Saint Path Ritual."

Lin Xun thoughtfully said, "The Saint Path Ritual allows one to derive virtue from Saint. If such an opportunity does exist, there is no Big Saint who won't be tempted by it."

A'hu asked, "Aren't you interested?"

Lin Xun answered, "I'm merely curious."

There were two types of Saint Path Rituals.

One was to enter the secular world to bestow teachings upon the masses and publicize one's aspirations. Through this method, a steady stream of worldly wishpower would be obtained, earning one the qualifications of a Sage.

The other was to withdraw from the secular world and prove one's dao to the myriad daos of the world in order to establish a new dao and create an unprecedented dharma. From this, one could obtain dao wishpower and earn the qualification of a Sage.

At present, the Power of All Living Beings left by the Dao Ruleless Bell was being stored in the Dao Immeasurable Bottlen/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

This gave Lin Xun the qualification to become a Sage through worldly wishpower.

Similarly, the dao Lin Xun sought and the Great Dao Furnace Art he created were a dao and dharma that had never existed before.

With this, he also possessed the capability to become a Sage through dao wishpower.

Therefore, Lin Xun wasn't interested in the opportunity of the Saint Path Ritual and was instead only curious about Fengshan Platform.

In other words, his ultimate goal of reaching Fengshen Platform was to kill his enemies!

A full incense stick of time later.

Halfway up the mountain, Lin Xun and A'hu saw a mottled ancient stone tablet that was suffused with a timeless aura.

Two ancient words were inscribed on the tablet: Fengshan Trail!

"Brother Lin, this is where the test begins. From here onwards, every step will be filled with mysterious dao power that one must resist in order to climb and eventually reach the mountain peak."

A'hu revealed an eager expression.

Since ancient times, countless peerless figures have set foot on Fengshan Trail to ascend to the peak and left various legends behind.

However, most cultivators were stopped by Fengshan Trail and ultimately failed to reach the peak.

This was a test that could only be overcome by the truly strong who possessed the potential to become a Sage!

Lin Xun raised his gaze and saw chaos qi lingering over the winding mountain path like a fog, making it impossible to get a clear view.

The visibility was so bad that he couldn't see a single expert who had ascended the mountain before them.

Evidently, they were already somewhere on the trail.

"Rumor has it that anyone who challenges the trail is qualified to leave behind a Fengshan Dao Stele. I hope that I'll have one!"

A'hu's eyes sparkled with desire.

"Fengshan Dao Stele?"

Lin Xun was surprised.

"Yes, it's a dao stele that symbolizes the power of a Sage. If one succeeds in leaving their name on Fengshan Platform, they will obtain a mysterious providence power. It's extremely magical."

A'hu continued, "Moreover, as far as I know, such supreme power is unique to Fengshan Platform and can't be found in the outside world. Most importantly, this special power will provide unimaginable benefits when one becomes an Emperor in the future."

Lin Xun's heart stirred.

Could the providence power that could only be found at Fengshan Platform truly possess such a marvelous effect?

It was indeed inconceivable!

"Shall we stop dallying and go?"

Lin Xun could tell that A'hu was itching to proceed.

With a deep breath, she stepped forward and walked past the ancient stone tablet, arriving on the stone steps covered in chaos qi.

Swish!

In an instant, she vanished from sight and could no longer be found.

Lin Xun couldn't help but be stunned. He realized that Fengshan Trail was far more mysterious than he had anticipated.

"Interesting…"

Lin Xun didn't hesitate and also stepped forward.

Just as he was crossing the tablet and his foot was still hovering in the air.

A figure soundlessly appeared behind him and plunged a sharp awl at his back.

Strangely enough, not a single hint of movement could be detected from start to end.

At the critical moment, however, Lin Xun twisted his body and turned around as if he had eyes on his back.

Meanwhile, the Broken Blade shot forth.

Clang!

Sparks splattered amidst a deafening bang as the mysterious figure staggered several steps backward.

It was a thin man enveloped by gray mist and had strange brown eyes. His identity was Sha Liuqing, a Holy Apostle from the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect!

"Eh!"

He was somewhat surprised, clearly not expecting Lin Xun to react so quickly.

Crash~

Meanwhile, a bewitching black lotus formed above Lin Xun, and wisps of black light poured out from its stamen.

The light wisps resembled needles that were as thin as cow hair and gleamed with a heart-palpitating luster.

If it were anyone else, even if they somehow managed to react in time and avoid the fatal danger, they would never have imagined that an even more frightening killing move would appear above them.

However, as if he had seen the future, Lin Xun stretched out his hand and pointed at the sky.

Great Diffusion Void Breaker Finger - Close Yet Far!

The wisps of black light were clearly about to reach him yet they somehow also gave off the sensation of being at the other end of the world.

Rumble!

The black lotus exploded in a shower of black light particles.

At the same time, a surprised voice rang out nearby, "Did this heretic already know?"

The black-robed monk, Ku Du, from the Earth Treasury Realm, appeared some distance away.

"I can only say that this prey of ours is becoming more and more cunning…"

Sha Liuqing sighed softly. However, there was no sign of dismay on his face.

Lin Xun stared at the two formidable individuals, who were from two out of the Three Dark Giants of the Ancient Nebula Underworld. He expressionlessly said, "I've been waiting for you two."

Rumble!

As he spoke, he suddenly sprung into the air.

Like a bolt of lightning, he swung his fist at Sha Liuqing with the ferocious might of a sea storm.

Sha Liuqing smiled chillingly as he turned into mist and disappeared from the spot.

Without looking, Lin Xun diverted his fist and smashed it to the side like a titan throwing a mountain!

Bang!

Space exploded as Sha Liuqing staggered backward and was sent flying by the terrifying fist force.

He coughed blood as his face paled in disbelief. "You're able to track me?"

One must know that Holy Apostles like him specialized in the art of concealment. It was precisely because of this unique talent that they could appear and disappear like ghosts and assassinate their targets without being noticed until it was too late. It was a strange and terrifying art.

Despite this, Lin Xun seemed to have seen through his movements!

This was equivalent to shattering his greatest reliance and exposing him completely.

Swish!

Lin Xun didn't skip a beat. The Broken Blade shot forth, unfurling like a starry river amidst the void.

Sha Liuqing yelped as he turned into mist again and disappeared.

He was genuinely frightened by Lin Xun's earlier punch.

"Suppress!"

Ku Du promptly acted at this moment. A black bell covered in Sanskrit rushed forth, projecting scenes of the holy Buddha land as it threatened to envelop Lin Xun.

Lin Xun thrust his fist, releasing a terrifying force that seemed capable of devouring the sky.

Clang!

A loud clang sounded from the black bell as it shook unsteadily.

Ku Du trembled as his expression changed slightly. The heretic's power is simply horrifying!

Sha Liuqing shouted, "Leave!"

They had already lost their biggest advantage when the ambush was discovered and Lin Xun's terrifying might filled him with a deep dread.

Hence, he didn't hesitate to retreat down the mountain.

Crash~

Meanwhile, Ku Du turned into a streak of black Buddhist light as he withdrew like a tide.

Lin Xun paused. He didn't try to stop them because there was simply no need. After all, he knew that they wouldn't relent until they killed him.

"I'll be waiting for you two to grace me with your presence again."

Lin Xun pointed at the peak of Mount Kunlun and set off on Fengshan Trail.
