The Prodigies War

Third Senior Sister Ruo Su did not stay around for long and soon left.

Before leaving, she told Lin Xun that as long as he could get his hands on the chaos treasure in the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone, it did not matter if he exposed his identity.

This gave him peace of mind.

So far, he had refined five dao bodies, but his greatest strength was still his real body.

Moreover, unlike the Mythical Huang Secret Realm, the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone was full of deadly dangers and he could be faced with many life and death situations.

He was absolutely certain that fierce characters such as Mi Wuya, Huangfu Shaonong, and Ling Hongzhuang would have secret means to protect their own lives.

For example, Emperor-grade treasures and taboo heaven-defying techniques.

However, Lin Xun was not particularly worried because he also had a few tricks up his sleeve to protect his life.

Not long after Ruo Su left, the one hundred and eight participants including Lin Xun, led by Taishu Hong and other Emperors, left Mythical Huang Dao Court and headed for Mount of Clouds!

Mount of Clouds was located in the northernmost part of the Primordial Chaos World, and further north was an uncharted land that had yet to be fully explored by anyone.

It was a vast and mysterious place, and throughout the ages, it had attracted countless adventurous people to come and explore it.

But only a few had actually come back alive!

The Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone, one of the Eight Forbidden Zones of the Primordial Chaos World, was located in the depths of this uncharted land. It was a forbidden area that not even Emperors dared to recklessly set foot in.

……

It was no doubt a major event to see so many Emperors traveling together, so naturally, no one would dare to obstruct them.

From what Lin Xun understood, even with an ancient teleportation array, it would still take them nearly a month to arrive in Mount of Clouds.

However, with Taishu Hong and other Emperors leading the way, they safely arrived in just over three hours.

Mount of Clouds!

Lin Xun and the others were astonished by the sight of the breathtaking mountain standing in the extreme north of the Primordial Chaos World.

Under the dome of the sky, snow-white clouds and mists paved the earth like stacks of rocks and shrouded the entire world.

From afar, heaps of clouds clumped together like a barrier that extended from the ground to the sky. It was a spectacular sight.

But soon, Lin Xun and the others sharply noticed that the law power of heaven and earth that permeated the world was blocked off from the Mount of Clouds.

It was very strange like a door shutting out the power of heaven and earth from their world.

And beyond the door was a completely unknown world!

“This is the Mount of Clouds, one of the barriers between the Primordial Chaos World and the uncharted land. It can also be called a boundary mountain and there are similar barriers like it throughout the Primordial Chaos World,” someone whispered.

“Once we step inside, we will face an uncharted land, and countless dangers lie in this unknown world!”

“The plants and trees that grow there, as well as the creatures scattered throughout the world are unlike anything in the Primordial Chaos World. It is possible that an inconspicuous insect can gnaw away the body of an Emperor, and it is also possible that an ordinary-looking plant can slash down stars in the sky…” ꭆ

An Emperor let out a sigh, “Although the Ancient Nebula Road is vast, in our eyes, uncharted lands are the most mysterious and unpredictable places in the world. Since ancient times, no one knows how vast they are or where they end.”

Lin Xun and other youngsters felt their hearts rising and falling like waves.

With their present strength, they were regarded as the most dazzling group of people below the Emperor Stage in the Ancient Nebula Road.

Even so, no one dared to venture into the uncharted lands without permission!

The reason for that was very simple: Uncharted lands were too dangerous, so dangerous that even Emperors dared not to go one step beyond the boundary.

Of course, there were many fearless people in the world, but for these people, stepping into uncharted lands was no different from throwing away their lives.

Only those who were extremely lucky might be able to survive and come back alive.

Amidst the discussions, everyone had arrived at Mount of Clouds.

With a solemn expression on his face, Taishu Hong said aloud, “Due to the birth of that chaos treasure, the law power in the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone has changed significantly and it is now safe for you all to enter.

“However, the sudden changes in the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone also means we don’t know how terrible the dangers in it are. So, you all must be extra careful.”

These words made Lin Xun and the others look much more solemn than before.

“Where there is great danger, there will be great fortune. In addition to the chaos treasure, there must be many other incredible treasures in the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone that will bring immeasurable benefits to you.”

Taishu Hong gave some more instructions before he turned to the other Emperors and said aloud, “Everyone, you may start now.”

“Alright.”

The Emperors from the other dao courts and battle clans all nodded.

“Rise!”

Taishu Hong flourished his sleeve, and a stamp covered with innate dao runes appeared, glowing with magnificent golden light.

“So aggressive!”

Ultimate Seal Battle Emperor of Primordial Dao Court uttered and a bronze incense burner engraved with countless auspicious beast totems soared into the sky. Faintly, thousands of beasts seemed to be roaring in unison and the sun and moon seemed to be shaking.

“Come!”

Great Emperor Yun Yan of Panwu Dao Court waved his sleeve and a tremendous, bright sword flashed out, the surface reflecting scenes of gods in fierce battles.

At the same time, Emperor Fire Spirit of the Heaven and Earth Dao Court summoned a green jade ruyi, raining wisps of law power, and Flaming Sky Demon Emperor of the All-Demon Dao Court summoned a scroll that presented a blood-red world with three thousand demon gods.

Respectively, the five remarkable treasures were the Mythical Fire Golden Stamp of the Mythical Huang Dao Court, the Thousand Spirits Auspicious Incense Burner of the Primordial Dao Court, the Dao Sword of Gods of the Panwu Dao Court, the Qingliu Ruyi of the Heaven and Earth Dao Court and the Three Thousand Demon Scroll of the All-Demon Dao Court.

Each one was a precious treasure of the sect, with an incredible origin and unimaginable power.

Rumble—

Then, divine lights gathered from all over the sky and swept across the world, causing the earth to quake.

A huge crack forcibly split open the cloud-shrouded boundary mountain barrier.

On the cracked barrier, gorgeous dao flowers bloomed one after another and dazzled everyone.

It was a change brought about by great dao law power. It did not belong to the Primordial Chaos World, but instead was a mysterious power from the uncharted lands.

In normal times, it was impossible to see the dao courts join forces and activate their most precious treasures to tear open a corner of the barrier, allowing this mysterious great dao law power to appear.

The scene struck everyone dumb. Not to mention Lin Xun and the others, even the old monsters at the Emperor Stage who had lived for countless years couldn’t help but narrow their eyes and watch intently.

Unfortunately, those dao flowers quickly disappeared and could not be captured at all.

But this only added to the extraordinariness of the uncharted lands.

Rumble—

The barrier of Mount of Cloud rumbled incessantly as the opened up crack widened and expanded into a long, shining passageway.

From a distance, it looked like a river of stars extending infinitely. The passageway glowed brilliantly and poured out waterfalls of divine lights.

“Quickly go!”

Taishu Hong urged, his forehead beaded with sweat.

The other Emperors who were activating a treasure also looked strained. The energy needed to open this passageway was almost as much as creating another world!

“Let’s go!”

Mi Wuya, Huangfu Shaonong, and the others acted without hesitation, racing towards the magnificent and dreamy passageway.

“Remember, protect yourself first, then think about seeking opportunities.”

Lin Xun quickly sent a voice transmission to Jintian Xuanyue, Lu Dubu and the others.

They also rushed towards the passageway.

In the end, all one hundred and eight people had entered.

Boom!

Upon seeing this, Taishu Hong and the others immediately withdrew their treasures, and the passageway closed up and vanished.

Taishu Hong and the others were pale and panting rapidly.

They possessed strengths that could shake the world, but just opening up a path that led into the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone consumed a terrible amount of physical strength.

If the major forces had not joined forces, it would have been impossible to enter the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone.

“In three months, we will again work together to open up a path and welcome those little guys back,” Taishu Hong said in a deep voice.

“Welcome them back? In my opinion, many people may not be able to come back,” Emperor Fire Spirit uttered coldly.

All the Emperors fell silent with different thoughts swirling in their minds.

How could there be no casualties?

However, as long as they brought back the chaos treasure, all efforts would be worth it!

Suddenly, Xia Xinglie smiled and said aloud, “Everyone, there are many fellow daoists around Mount of Clouds watching our movements.”

“Of course there is. Who in the world would not be paying attention to this matter? In three months' time, I suspect that figures of the Ancestor Stage will show up.” One of the Emperors let out a long sigh.

“Don’t worry, everyone. All the major forces are united in this operation this time. I don’t think anyone in this world would dare to come and cause trouble.” Taishu Hong reassured calmly. His voice was filled with confidence and superiority.

“Only a fool would mess things up now. If it were me, I would wait until the chaos treasure is brought out of the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone before deciding whether to take action.” A light flashed in the depths of Xia Xinglie’s eyes. “After all, humans would die in pursuit of wealth, just like how birds would die in pursuit of food. Even Emperors and Ancestors are no exceptions.”

The eyes of Taishu Hong and others also flashed.

Would that happen?

Possibly!

However, the Great Six Courts and the Great Ten Battle Clans had already considered this possibility before, so although they were guarded, they were not afraid.

In the valley far away from Mount of Clouds, the vibrant greenery of the foliage was enhanced by a steady fall of drizzling rain.

A thin old monk in a simple and clean monk’s robe was sitting in front of a boulder and playing chess with someone.

When the passageway that opened up on Mount of Clouds faded, a smile crept across the old monk’s wrinkled face, and he gently set down a black piece on the chessboard.

PA!

In a game of chess, every move should be made with no regrets.

“The real chess game finally begins,” he whispered.
