The Prodigies War

Chapter 1791 Breaking the Formation

Yu Yunhe, the direct descendant of the current head of the Imperial Yu Clan, was a well-known spendthrift and good-for-nothing in the Great Yu World.

How could Lan Caiyi not have heard of this person?

It was precisely because she knew of him that she was so cold to Yu Yunhe when they first met.

But she didn't expect that the subordinate Yu Yunhe had brought with him was actually a hidden dao rune founder!

This made her almost wonder if she was dreaming.

How could a dao rune founder be mixed with an unlearned spendthrift?

Lan Caiyi frowned and said, "Yunzheng, why do I feel something is wrong? Does your Sixth Brother actually want to participate in the Great Yu Secret Realm?"

Yu Yunzheng's heart tightened, and he also felt incredulous. In the Imperial Yu Clan, Yu Yunhe's identity was indeed very special, but everyone knew that the son of their clan leader was a spendthrift with a golden exterior and a rotten inside. Therefore, he had no future.

Yu Yunhe was only able to become a supreme Big Saint entirely because of his extraordinary blood talent and countless resources that had been poured into him!

Even him joining the Alchemy Dao Sect to cultivate was all arranged by his father, who had undertaken great efforts to get him admitted.

Yu Yunzheng had never taken such a ‘younger brother’ seriously in the past, but now he had appeared with a dao rune founder by his side, which seemed too out of the ordinary.

"Did he also realize that if he doesn’t fight for the opportunity, he will lose the right to inherit the position of clan leader after the sect competition?"

Yu Yunzheng's expression was uncertain.

"Wow!"

"Too incredible!"

A burst of exclamations broke out near the Mission Hall in the distance and following that was an uproar.

Lan Caiyi asked, "Master Mo, can you figure out that young man's attainments in the art of runes?"

Master Mo muttered to himself, "It’s possible I can see some clues if I try to test him."

Lan Caiyi's eyes flickered, "Then I'll have to trouble Master Mo to help me once."

Master Mo was also curious. When did such a young dao rune founder appear in the Great Yu World? He immediately agreed to her suggestion.

He thought for a bit, took out an obviously old jade slip, and handed it to Lan Caiyi beside him.

"When I was traveling in a small world, I coincidentally came across an ancient ruin and saw this obscure forbidden array. With my ability, I can only copy this array, but I can't figure out the mysteries behind it."

Master Mo sighed, "Over the years, I have been researching this array, but I still can't figure it out. If this boy can crack it, then it will prove that his attainments in the art of runes are far better than mine."

"How could that be possible?" Yu Yunzheng immediately laughed.

In the Great Yu World, there were very few rune founders, and Master Mo was the most experienced one among them. He had become famous years ago and was one of the Four Great Dao Rune Founders of Great Yu World.

How could an ancient formation that even Master Mo couldn't figure out be cracked by someone ordinary?

"That's good. Let’s take this opportunity to dampen their arrogance!"

Lan Caiyi's eyes were cold.

In the crowd far away, Yu Yunhe was beaming with joy and smugness, which made her feel uncomfortable.

She handed the jade slip given by Old Mo to the attendant beside her and said, "Go, give it to Hu Ming, and tell him that this is a newly released mission. Whoever can crack it will be rewarded with a hundred thousand dao crystals."

"A hundred thousand?" Yu Yunzheng was astounded.

Lan Caiyi smiled and said, "Why are you surprised? Do you think that boy can break the ancient formation? Using this many dao crystals is just bait."

...

"How many dao crystals have I earned so far?" Lin Xun asked casually after completing the last task in his hand.

Yu Yunhe's face was glowing with delight and he said excitedly, "There are currently 393 confirmed tasks, and the total reward is 323,600 dao crystals!"

More than 320,000 dao crystals!

This was a huge fortune even for an arrogant and spoiled good-for-nothing like him. 

This amount of dao crystals is only equivalent to less than one year of cultivation for supreme Big Saints. Lin Xun frowned slightly.

He was only one opportunity away from breaking through to the Saint-King Stage. At that point, it would take even less time for him to use up this sum of dao crystals.

In the end, he still needed to make more money!

Dao crystals could not only be used for cultivation, but also as a currency. Whether it was buying items or riding a boundary ship, they were indispensable.

"Continue."

Lin Xun did not even raise his head and decided to take this opportunity to make a good fortune so as not to worry about it in the future.

Hu Ming stepped forward and said respectfully, "Sir, this is a task that has just been released. It is related to breaking a forbidden array. The reward is a hundred thousand dao crystals. I wonder if you are interested?"

A hundred thousand dao crystals!

Gasps resounded in the hall; this sum was simply sensational.

A mission priced at a hundred thousand dao crystals was rarely ever seen in the entire Great Yu World, let alone in Yunyan Treasure House.

This was amazing!

But at the same time, everyone present immediately became curious.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

What kind of task was it that made the mission issuer willing to pay such a shocking reward?

The only thing that was certain was that this task was destined to be extremely tricky and difficult. People were certain that even ordinary dao rune founders could not handle it!

At this time, Yu Yunhe was surprised and shouted, "Is the person who issued the task crazy?"

Lan Caiyi in the distance was originally very satisfied with the uproar this time, but when she heard Yu Yunhe's exclamation, her pretty face became gloomy and her eyes were full of coldness.

This bastard is simply asking for a beating!

Yu Yunzheng hurriedly said, "Caiyi, calm down, I will help you punish him in the future."

Lin Xun was also stunned at this time, feeling a little surprised, so he took the jade slip in his hand and began to look at it.

The atmosphere in the field also became quiet, and everyone looked at Lin Xun in unison.

Lan Caiyi, Yu Yunzheng, and Master Mo were all paying close attention.

Will he...

…accept this mission?

After a moment, Lin Xun said, "I’ll do it."

Those three words were like thunder and they stimulated everyone who was there. It was as if they were about to witness a great show.

This was a mission set at a hundred thousand dao crystals, and the other party actually had the courage to accept it!

Lan Caiyi and Yu Yunzheng looked at each other, and then looked at Master Mo.

Master Mo was actually a bit astonished and said, "This kid actually accepted it. Could he not tell that this ancient formation is extremely mysterious and tricky?”

Lan Caiyi took a deep breath and said, "Who knows? However, he may not succeed, so let’s wait and see."

Yu Yunzheng nodded in deep agreement.

He was extremely confident in Master Mo's strength, so he didn't believe that Lin Xun could complete something that even Master Mo couldn’t do!

Lin Xun started the task.

His expression was calm and composed, and it was hard to tell from his appearance whether he was nervous or stressed.

His spiritual consciousness flowed into the jade slip like a tide, and the pattern of the ancient forbidden formation appeared in his mind in every detail.

He began to deduce...

As time passed, the atmosphere in the mission hall became inexplicably tense and depressing. Everyone held their breath, fearing that they would disturb Lin Xun.

At this moment, Master Mo also stared at Lin Xun without blinking.

Unlike Lan Caiyi and Yu Yunzheng, as a dao rune founder, he had no prejudice or ill will towards Lin Xun.

He was just very curious about a young rune founder who had suddenly appeared in the Great Yu World. He had never heard of Lin Xun before.

Yu Yunhe also began to get nervous.

In the past, no matter what task Lin Xun accepted, he completed it in a very short time without encountering any obstacles.

But this time, half of a quarter of an hour had already passed, yet Lin Xun still had no reaction. How could Yu Yunhe not be nervous?

Others present also noticed this, and they were secretly worried for Lin Xun.

"It seems that he can't do it." Yu Yunzheng laughed out loud as if relieved.

Lan Caiyi said confidently, "I said it long ago, how can a guy who came out of nowhere break an ancient forbidden array that even Master Mo couldn't break?"

Master Mo explained, "This formation is extremely obscure. It is obviously impossible to break it in such a short period of time. I have been trapped by this problem for many years, and I am still at a loss regarding this conundrum."

After a pause, he continued, "I think that even if this boy can't break this formation, he can no longer be considered an ordinary individual."

Yu Yunzheng felt a little uncomfortable in his heart but he smiled, "In my opinion, Master Mo thinks too highly of this boy. He hangs out with my ignorant younger cousin, so he must not be someone of great skill."

Master Mo frowned and didn't answer.

At this time, Lin Xun, who had been silent, put away his consciousness and handed the jade slip to Hu Ming.

All of a sudden, the whole audience was shaken.

Did he succeed?

"Sir, is this task feasible?" Hu Ming couldn't help from asking.

"It has been broken, and the method has been recorded there,” responded Lin Xun casually.

With one sentence, the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time in the whole audience immediately broke out. They were completely shocked and in an uproar.

Yu Yunhe was also excited, his eyes glowing, as if he was looking at a god. Didn’t this mean that a hundred thousand dao crystals were about to be theirs?

Suddenly, someone shouted, "This is impossible!"

Then, Yu Yunhe saw Yu Yunzheng, Lan Caiyi and their group walking towards them, and each of them looked very unhappy.

"Lan Caiyi!"

"Look, there is Master Mo!"

"I didn't expect that he would come to Yunyan City."

A commotion broke out, and many people recognized the identities of Lan Caiyi and Master Mo.

Yu Yunhe was very unhappy and said expressionlessly, "Third Brother, what do you mean by impossible? If I’m recalling correctly, you don’t have much knowledge regarding the art of dao runes, right?"

Yu Yunzheng snorted coldly, "Even if I don't understand it, there will be people who do. Master Mo, please come and see if this boy has really broken this formation!"

Yu Yunhe was stunned at first, then he realized something and shouted, “What? Could it be that you are the one who issued this task?"

"Sixth Brother, you have actually gained some brains," said Yu Yunzheng coldly, but he didn’t deny it.

Yu Yunhe said with an ugly expression, "So, when you issued this task, you wanted to embarrass us on purpose and make fun of us?"

Yu Yunzheng did not refute him and simply looked at Master Mo.

At this time, Master Mo also had a face full of doubt, surprise, excitement and curiosity. He didn't care about anything else. What he cared about was whether Lin Xun really broke this formation.

After all, this problem has almost become an obsession for him!
