The Prodigies War

Chapter 892: Spirit Flower Converge

Whispers of indescribably obscure and mysterious dao sounds echoed in his spirit like the chanting of scripture from ancient times, full of unfathomable meaning.

It was a mighty and pure spirit inheritance.

Instantly, Lin Xun felt his spirit transforming and growing, falling into a deep comprehension state.

Shua!

An unknown period had passed when wisps of dreamy clouds spiraled out from the head of Lin Xun’s primordial spirit, glowing brightly.

In the end, they gathered to form an illusory flower bud.

Before long, the flower bud bloomed, accompanied by beams of bright and pure dao lights.

PA! PA! PA!

As every petal unfolded, it produced a crisp and mysterious dao sound that stirred the spirit. The soul of the primordial spirit felt cleansed, refreshed, and stronger.

In the end, the flower bud fully bloomed and miraculously spewed out mists of snow-white light from its center.

It floated above the head of the soul of the primordial spirit, casting a waterfall of light rays upon it until it was bright and transparent.

Lin Xun instantly knew that his spirit had been transformed once again. It was as if a wisp of wisdom light had awakened his memory and projected every event and experience of his cultivation path in minuscule detail in his mind like a painting scroll.

“Spirit flowers converge at the crown of the head, providing a view of the truth of the past!”

He felt enlightened. The soul of the primordial spirit had formed a spirit flower and become completely different from before.

This surprised him because it was incredible that a lantern of darkness that bloomed with the light of eternal night actually contained an ancient spirit inheritance that pushed his spirit power to a new height!

The flower, which originated from the spirit and represented past cultivation, provided him with a lot of insights.

Only then did he realize that, in ancient times, spirit cultivation was also divided into different stages.

There were six stages of spirit cultivation: perception, spirit sense, divine spirit, spirit flower convergence, divine wandering and saint spirit transformation!

Perception was the initial stage of awakening spirit power and beginning to perceive the world.

Spirit sense was a spirit power that only great Spirit Sea cultivators could master, which allowed them to gain insight into heaven and earth and observe the traces of the great dao.

The divine spirit referred to the soul of the primordial spirit who watched over the mind-sea. It was inexhaustibly profound with infinite intelligence and wisdom.

Previously, Lin Xun’s spirit power was at this stage.

The spirit flower convergence stage was a more mysterious stage than the divine spirit stage. It was further divided into three smaller levels: seeing the past, seeing the present, and seeing the future.

A great dao spirit flower would form on the head of the soul of the primordial spirit every time it reached a new stage and bring with it unimaginable secrets.

As for divine wandering and saint spirit transformation, they were spirit stages under the umbrella of the saint path, which was too distant for Lin Xun to fathom for now.

“Cultivating the spirit is to investigate life and death, seek the root of longevity. The spirit is like a lantern, and the primordial spirit lives forever just like longevity. It can extend the lifespan and live freely in the world, unhindered by life, old age, sickness and death!

“For cultivators, the stronger their spirit, the more profound mysteries of heaven and earth they can grasp and comprehend, which has immeasurable benefits on seeking the secret of longevity.

“It involves the secret of life and death, the key to forging the dao and becoming a king. It will have an irreplaceable magical benefit when I step onto the path of longevity and become a Saint!”

All kinds of enlightenment flashed through Lin Xun’s mind.

……

Clang—

The fourth test came to an end with a long hum of an ancient bell.

All experts who lit up Spirit Lanterns and were receiving enlightenment from the spirit inheritance were startled and quickly withdrew their spirit from the Spirit Lantern into their bodies.

“So fast, why do I feel like only a few seconds have passed and it’s over?”

Some cultivators gazed absently. They still hadn’t awakened from their comprehension.

“Amazing! This enlightenment has provided me with a glimpse into the mystery of cultivating the divine spirit. I believe it won’t be long before I can cultivate the soul of the primordial spirit!”

Some cultivators were beaming from ear to ear.

Everyone seemed to have had a good harvest.

“Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough time; otherwise, I could have grasped more mysteries!”

Some cultivators were still not satisfied.

Ji Xingyao, Yu Lingkong and Luo Jia also awakened from their comprehension, each wearing different expressions, but all had an unconcealable glow of joy on their faces.

The Spirit Lanterns they obtained were top-grade, and the enlightenment they received was more profound, which significantly improved and transformed their spirit power.

“By the way, where is Demon God Lin, which Spirit Lantern did he choose in the end?” someone asked suddenly.

“Yes, from what I observed, he didn’t choose any of the six Spirit Lanterns that he lit before.” Another expert also came to their senses.

No one saw what happened after Lin Xun abandoned the six Spirit Lanterns and his spirit rushed to the highest place in the void.

“He must have failed. If he had lit a Spirit Lantern, then it would have triggered an earthshaking vision, but I didn’t notice any movement.” Sha Liuchan sneered.

Everyone’s expressions turned strange. Didn’t that guy fall into the pit dug by Demon God Lin earlier? How did he still have the courage to disprove Demon God Lin?

“What? Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I said something wrong?” Sha Liuchan felt a little uncomfortable with the gazes.

“That’s the truth. If he had lit a Spirit Lantern to the level of Midday Sun then I would have noticed it, but there had been no other signs of movement from him ever since he reached the higher place in the void. This suggests that he likely ended up with nothing,” Yu Lingkong suddenly spoke aloud, surprising everything.

Everyone looked taken aback.

Demon God Lin possesses heaven-defying strength so how would he have ended up with nothing?

“It should be true. I have checked before and found that no Spirit Lantern existed in the highest place in the void,” Ji Xingyao also said in a soft voice.

She had no intention of taking the chance to attack Lin Xun, but she did find the situation strange and puzzling.

If Lin Xun found nothing then he should have returned to look for a Spirit Lantern that he had already lit up earlier and accept its inheritance.

However, he abandoned all six Spirit Lanterns in the end.

It’s so strange!

Even Ji Xingyao said that so how could the other experts calm down? How could the remarkable Demon God Lin make no harvest in the fourth test?

Others might have only collected stones and ignored the diamonds, but at least the stones still brought them previous opportunities. But Lin Xun was too picky and ended up with nothing.

What a tragedy!

“Hahaha.” Sha Liuchan couldn’t be happier. Certain that Lin Xun had suffered a tragedy, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Just now, he had lit six Spirit Lanterns, and all of them presented Midday Sun phenomenons. They were all so impressive, but it turned out that he missed out on them all…”

“Hey, you can’t say that. This is because Demon God Lin has high requirements for himself and snubbed the Midday Sun.” Zhongli Wuji’s words were tinged with mocking.

Qing Lian’er also smiled. “The god of destiny likes to make fools of people. If this gets out, it will be a huge joke to the world. I bet no one in the world would have thought that Demon God Lin would come to this.”

The others smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

“Is this really the case?” Bai Lingxi raised her brows.

“Definitely not!” Yue Jianming stated firmly.

It was at that moment when Lin Xun, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, opened his eyes and a strange light flashed in their depths.

“What? Can you not accept it?”

As Lin Xun stood up, he ran his indifferent eyes across Sha Liuchan and the others.

Even if it was only a glance, they felt extremely uncomfortable as though Lin Xun had seen through all their secrets.

At the same time, some experts sharply noticed that Demon God Lin had become a different person. His bearing had become more outstanding, and he had an ethereal air around him.

Hey!

What’s going on?

Many people were bewildered.

But when they tried to inspect closer, they came to discover that beneath Lin Xun’s seemingly ordinary aura was an unfathomable aura as deep as a bottomless abyss.

Sha Liuchan and the others’ complexions changed, and their hearts tumbled in their chests as the scenes of Lin Xun tricking them earlier flashed across their minds. They were so angry that they almost cursed out loud!

However, out of a sense of caution and vigilance, they just smiled coldly and said nothing more.

Ji Xingyao couldn’t help asking, “Have you lit a Spirit Lantern?”

Lin Xun smiled. “What do you think?”

Ji Xingyao wrinkled her brows. She couldn’t stand seeing Lin Xun’s hateful smile, his cocky face, and him deliberately pretending to be mysterious.

In the end, no one knew whether Lin Xun lit another Spirit Lantern.

But ruminative expressions crept into many people’s eyes. They noticed that Lin Xun was too calm and composed and didn’t look the slightest bit dispirited. He didn’t seem to be putting on an act.

Suddenly, the talismans in everyone’s hands glowed, produced strange waves of energy and engulfed them.

Very quickly, everyone vanished.

The fifth test was about to begin.

……

At the same time, the outside world was stirred up.

“What? Demon God Lin lit up six Spirit Lanterns by himself and all to the levels of Midday Sun?! Is he human?!”

“He’s a monster!”

“Fairy Ji and the others were destined to shine brightly and shake the world. But I never thought that Demon God Lin would suddenly jump out and steal everyone’s limelight.”

Endless uproars erupted.

Even the big shots were alarmed. The Spirit Lantern Illumination Test was completely different from those in the past with an unexpected turn of events!

“I heard that Lin Xun came from a lower domain, and he is with no clan or sect. I am touched by his talent and am willing to make an exception to take him in as a disciple,” an influential figure said with a smile, stroking his beard.

“What a coincidence! Our sect has already had our eyes on Demon God Lin, and we were planning to recruit him into our sect when the Dao Lantern Festival ends.”

……

All the influential figures expressed their intention of recruiting Lin Xun.

“Everyone, stop arguing. A peerless genius such as Lin Xun can only unearth his true potential by joining the Unsolved Mystery Sword Sect.”

Even Granny Jin He spoke out, leaving the cultivators shocked and dumbfounded. Isn’t Demon God Lin too popular?
