The Prodigies War

Chapter 1114 Thousand Streams Gathering

Lin Xun, Toady, and A'lu left the Mysterious Ice Frost Plains together and returned to the outside world.

As they traveled through the various provinces, they encountered numerous, astonishing differences that didn’t exist in the past.

First, the Boundary River that separated the four worlds was disappearing at an extremely rapid pace.

At the rate it was going, the four worlds would return to being a single continent in less than a month, restoring its appearance from the ancient era.

Meanwhile, everything in the world was also changing. Ordinary mountains would suddenly undergo drastic transformations, becoming much taller and producing concentrated aeth qi, turning them into cultivation paradises.

The cultivation growth of monsters and beasts had also accelerated. Cultivation barriers that previously obstructed their progress unexplainably vanished, allowing them to progress with much greater ease than before.

Even rare herbs and exotic plants that were thought to have gone extinct long ago began to appear again, resulting in many scuffles between orthodoxies and cultivators.

At the same time, cultivators, regardless of talent, were able to progress much faster in their cultivation and more easily comprehend and wield Grand Dao Power!

These countless, shocking changes took place in every one of the four worlds. It was as if the long dormant soil was suddenly overflowing with life energy and was inevitably moving toward a glorious climax!

All of these changes only started occurring two months prior and were all shocking beyond belief!

Everyone was aware that an unprecedented great age was coming. However, they never imagined that the signs heralding its arrival would already be so astonishing.

Ancient orthodoxies even carefully analyzed the situation, only to conclude that such shocking changes had never occurred to such an extent before.

Although similar changes had occurred in the past, none of them had come close to reaching this level.

While the world was in turmoil due to these changes, it also became less peaceful.

"Ancient-era talents are frequently emerging, running rampant across the world, and suppressing the current era’s supreme heaven prides!"

Any news heard by Lin Xun and the others was often related to the ancient-era geniuses.

Several of them had committed many earth-shaking feats recently and defeated many experts, causing the provinces to be abuzz with news about them.

"These monsters are all outrageously powerful and so arrogant that they will leave anyone speechless. Moreover, they’re trampling all over the current era’s supreme heaven prides!"

"Alas, the current era heaven prides just can’t match them. Every ancient-era talent is a once in a ten thousand year genius who has waited countless years for the arrival of the great age. There is no doubting their strength."

Such comments and remarks were often heard amidst their journey.

Lin Xun, Toady, and A'lu were all surprised that the outside world had changed so much in two months.

"Those who act so wildly now will be targeted more heavily when the Supreme Realm descends." Toady was disdainful of their behavior and criticized them for causing such a commotion.

"Indeed."

Lin Xun strongly agreed. The nail that stuck out was bound to be hammered. The more one showed off the more likely they would be targeted by others!

A’lu grinned and said, "Big Bro, have you heard the news? Several ancient-era talents are openly challenging you. They claim that they will definitely suppress you the moment you dare to show yourself!"

Lin Xun had naturally heard similar rumors.

It was because he was the most talked about younger-generation supreme heaven pride two months ago!

Hence, it was only logical that others would set their sights on him.

After all, defeating him was equivalent to beating the champion of the Little Giants List and all the other current-era supreme heaven prides. Such a feat would immediately catapult anyone into the limelight and allow them to become famous overnight!

This was the power of reputation. "A few even more outrageous ones are clamoring that if they catch you, they will make you their slave to serve them and flaunt their power."

Toady also grew excited. "Can you tolerate such provocations?"

Toady wasn’t making things up either. Lin Xun had also heard of such rumors.

Although he could not be bothered with such provocations, if he did bump into them, he didn’t mind teaching them a lesson they would never forget!

Why did all these randos nowadays think they could step all over him?

Who the hell did they think they were?!

However, he also learned that several of the Little Giants List supreme heaven prides were in a tough spot because they had lost against some of these ancient-era talents!

In fact, some of the absolute apex giants had opted to temporarily keep their heads above water. They avoided contact with the ancient-era talents to preserve their reputation.

Lin Xun said, "Let's go. We still know far too little, and we might be able to learn more by heading to the Thousand Streams Mountain."

With the coming great age, the winds were beginning to blow over the world as great talents and heaven prides emerged one after another. Naturally, there would also be gatherings where they could interact and even spar against each other.

Such an event was about to begin at the Thousand Streams Mountain and was initiated by the Moon Sun Sacred Palace successor, Mi Hengzhen. It was rumored that the participants would be composed of current-era leading figures who would also be seeking to compete in the Supreme Realm.

……

Thousand Streams Mountain was located within the Purple Moon Province.

With the help of an ancient teleportation array, Lin Xun and the others arrived in the Purple Moon Province a few days ahead of schedule. Then, they made their way toward Thousand Streams City.

Various conversations flowed into their ears as soon as they entered the city.

"The Thousand Streams Gathering has an incredibly far-reaching influence. The participants are all individuals who have attained the supreme path with no lack of absolute apex giants among them."

"I've heard that Mi Hengzhen intends to invite some fellow cultivators to join him in a great venture."

"It’s a pity that none of us are qualified to ascend the mountain and participate..."

Lin Xun and the others didn't need to do much searching. They easily gleaned information about the Thousand Streams Gathering and headed toward the center of the city.

A majestic mountain stood at the center of the city, standing over ten thousand feet tall.

Thousands of waterfalls descended from it, displaying a unique spectacle of thousands of silver rivers flowing together.

This was the Thousand Streams Mountain. It was a mountain with extraordinary origins.

In the vicinity of the mountain was a bustling district filled with tea shops, restaurants, and stores peddling various medicines and treasures.

When Lin Xun and the others arrived, many cultivators were already gathered nearby discussing the topic of the Thousand Streams Mountain Gathering.

"Let’s go."

Without wasting any time, Lin Xun led Toady and A'lu toward the mountain.

This caused many cultivators to reveal looks of awe and envy.

Thousand Streams Mountain wasn’t easy to climb. It was covered in an inexplicable Grand Dao Power that made everyone who tried to climb the mountain feel a strong rejection force.

In addition, Cyclic Derivation cultivation was the minimum requirement to even be capable of moving on the mountain. Due to these reasons, many cultivators were unable to ascend the mountain."

"Eh, doesn’t that guy look like Demon God Lin?"

Someone felt a strange sense of familiarity as he gazed at Lin Xun's back.

"Is it really him?"

Several people were astonished.

There was zero news from Lin Xun for the past two months besides the one incident where he fought Chu Zhongtian. It was as if he had completely vanished off the face of the world.

Moreover, most people had their attention drawn by the changes that had occurred in the world and the ancient-era talents.

"Are you sure it’s him?"

Many cultivators stirred excitedly. Before any of these changes occurred, Demon God Lin had been the undisputed hottest star of the younger generation who received the entire world’s attention.

It would be huge if he had indeed appeared here after two months!

Many cultivators tried to approach so they could confirm Lin Xun's identity. Unfortunately, they weren’t strong enough to ascend the mountain.

Moreover, Lin Xun and the others never once looked back since the beginning.

Numerous old pavilions could be found halfway up the mountain. Presently, there were already many cultivators standing or sitting amidst them.

At the top of the mountain was a dao altar surrounded by clouds and mist. If one tried hard enough, they would just barely be able to make out several figures atop the altar.

Lin Xun and the others arrived at the halfway point and discovered that many people had already arrived to participate in the gathering.

A cursory glance told Lin Xun that all of them were powerful experts.

It did make sense. After all, it was impossible to climb the mountain without Cyclic Derivation stage cultivation.

Lin Xun searched for a long time, but failed to find any traces of Xiao Qinghe. After a little contemplation, he sat down in a remote corner, hoping to first gather some information from the conversations around him.

"Nearly all of the ancient-era talents that have appeared so far are at the absolute apex giant tier. It feels so humiliating that they’ve been able to defeat so many experts from the current era."

Someone sighed.

It was inevitable for people to feel dispirited given how badly the current generation of heaven prides had been suppressed.

"Do you guys think those ancient-era talents are unbeatable? How else are they somehow always able to achieve victory after victory?"

Some people were clearly worried.

"Unbeatable? Hmph! That’s impossible, there’s no lack of experts from the current era who are more than capable of contending against these ancient-era talents. They merely haven’t made their moves yet. There’s Yun Qingbai, Wang Xuanyu, Ye Moxue, Yan Zhanqiu, and Demon God Lin. Which among them isn’t absurdly strong?"

"Demon God Lin? I have to say that he’s damn incredible. A month ago, Chu Zhongtian went straight to Star Chess Sea with the intent of subduing Demon God Lin. Who could have anticipated that he would be subdued instead? If it wasn’t for those King stage old monsters’ protection, he might have even lost his life!"

Everyone seemed to be discussing current affairs.

There were also several people conversing on the dao altar at the mountaintop. This group was clearly stronger and possessed higher status than the mid-mountain crowd.

A woman spoke with admiration, "No need to be so humble Brother Qi, in the Little Giants List Competition, you overcame numerous difficulties and beat many heaven prides to claim one of the top ten spots of the Little Giants List. Your battle accomplishments are simply amazing."

On the dao altar, a blue-robed man was seated on a mat. His expression was calm as he said, ''It's only tenth place. It’s really nothing."

Several people recognized the blue-robed man and revealed looks of amazement. He was Qi Chongdou of the Moon Sun Sacred Palace and was a famous individual who was also one of the younger-generation little absolute apex giants.

Meanwhile, many cultivators at the halfway point of the mountain revealed awed expressions and lowered their voices. Evidently, the experts on the altar possessed extraordinary status.

Lin Xun looked over and found the blue-robed man somewhat familiar. He quickly recalled that Qi Chongdou was Xiao Qinghe's Senior Brother and had a noteworthy performance during the Little Giants List Competition.

Toady asked, "Do you know him?"

Lin Xun casually replied, "We’ve met before but never talked."

Some people nearby heard their conversation. Immediately, someone couldn’t help but sneer, ''C’mon, it’s just a meeting. Is that worth showing off? Aren’t you afraid of making a fool of yourself?"
