The Prodigies War

Chapter 1311 Three Great Taboo Tribulations

“Paying my respects to Elder.” Lin Xun bowed.

That slender and graceful figure was only an illusion, yet she still exuded a mysterious and boundless aura. She was the unparalleled person who stupefied the Ancient Wasteland Domain by herding powerful Saints like animals.

“The seventh longevity tribulation is not bad, but you came at the wrong time, the door can’t be opened in the Supreme Realm.”

The woman’s voice was faint and indistinct, and she seemed nonexistent while sitting cross-legged at the mighty Omega Door, but her presence could not be ignored.

Lin Xun was taken aback, and then said, “I did not come to seek opportunities, but to seek advice from Elder about something.”

“What’s the matter?”

“It’s about the Taboo Dao tribulation.”

A flash of realization immediately dawned on the woman. She could not help but take a good look at Lin Xun one more time before she said aloud, “It seems like you are planning to explore the physical path.”

Lin Xun nodded.

When it came to his own path and facing the Taboo Dao Tribulation, he had to be prudent and cautious.

“I can’t give you any advice, but I can tell you about the origin of the Taboo Dao Tribulation.”

There was a moment of silence before the woman continued, “In the beginning of times, the nine domains all had a Supreme Realm to train in, and that era was called the primordial era.

“In the primordial era, an extremely strange catastrophe happened in the Ancient Wasteland Domain that led to the loss of a part of the primal chaos origin. Subsequently, the order and law of heaven and earth became incomplete and the great dao was damaged. The Supreme Realm also never appeared again.

“This is the fundamental reason why a supreme figure has never appeared since ancient times.

“Furthermore, since then, three taboo tribulations also fell upon the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

“The first one was the Sever Dao Tribulation that targets Saints. From then on, Saints could no longer break through into the Emperor Stage.

“The second was the Confinement Barrier that targeted all living beings in the entire Ancient Wasteland Domain. From then on, the Ancient Wasteland Domain was like a cage confining all experts and preventing them from exploring the outside world.

“The third type was the Taboo Dao Tribulation, which targeted cultivators who simultaneously practiced the three paths—physical, spirit and qi. From then on, anyone who wanted to embark on the three cultivation paths at the same time would be punished and eradicated from the world before even becoming a Saint.”

Lin Xun’s heart pounded.

It was his first time hearing this shocking secret!

In the primordial era, part of the primal chaos origin went missing, the law and order of heaven and earth was damaged, the Supreme Realm no longer appeared, and three taboo tribulations fell upon the world at the same time!

“Did this only happen to Ancient Wasteland Domain?” Lin Xun asked with a frown.

The woman nodded. “This is also the reason why the Ancient Wasteland Domain is called an abandoned wasteland by the other eight domains. Under the force of those three taboo tribulations, the Ancient Wasteland Domain...is indeed no different from a wasteland prison.”

Lin Xun’s mind raced. Three taboo tribulations shrouded Ancient Wasteland Domain and turned it into a prison-like world. Whose doing was this?

“Ultimately, the three taboo tribulations seem to target different things, but in truth, they have the same purpose. I have once fought against the power of Sever Dao for a long time, and I have come to the conclusion that, against the background of the great age, the three taboo tribulations will be weakened significantly.”

The woman’s voice was ethereal and calm. “If you really want to start physical training, then you may have an opportunity before the great age comes to an end.”

Lin Xun’s face lit up with understanding.

In the primordial era, due to the existence of the three taboo tribulations, the Supreme Realm never appeared again and the Ancient Wasteland Domain became like a prison.

But in the great age, supreme figures had appeared one after another like a miracle.

If he wanted to start physical training and simultaneously practice all three paths of cultivation, then perhaps a similar miracle could happen?

“This is the only chance. In the future, there may not be another...” the woman murmured.

It was unknown what she thought of, but there was an indescribable hint of melancholy in her voice.

......

When Lin Xun walked out of the Omega Secret Realm, he was never more determined.

Physical training!

His path was already unprecedented and full of unexpected disasters. Now, at the height of the great age, he did not want to miss out on the opportunity.

Pine trees lined the side of the cliff, clouds swirled in the sky, and spiritual qi saturated the air.

Lin Xun was sitting cross-legged, his expression unwavering and devoid of emotion.

In his mind, the Nine Pure Saint Body Art was shining brightly, and each word radiated an obscure mysteriousness like it was formed from the great dao.

The art consisted of one thousand and eight hundred words, and each one contained infinite profound secrets. If one did not understand the art, even if they memorized it, they would never be able to grasp it.

Lin Xun had been trapped in this situation before.

But now that Yuan Fatian revealed the training method to him, it was like a key that gave him the opportunity to pry into its secrets!

Buzz—

While Lin Xun was concentrating on understanding the art, a strange wave of energy spread across the air. Faintly, it felt as if nine divine beings were emerging.

One was reaching for the stars and the moon, whizzing through the mountains and rivers. The world trembled with every breath.

One leaped up to the nine heavens, feasting on the clouds and dew, drawing the astral winds to temper their body.

One lay dormant at the bottom of the ocean, their body of qi as motionless as a rock.

One...

Meanwhile Lin Xun’s mind was ringing with resounding and sacred voices, as if they were passing on the great dao and expounding the wonderful secrets of cultivation.

Then, Lin Xun understood.

The Nine Pure Saint Body Art was said to have originated from the ancestor of the Snubbed-Nosed Monkey Clan, and its origin was more mysterious than what was rumored in the world!

The art was divided into nine levels: Upper Pure, Jade Pure, Great Pure, Spirit Pure, Original Pure, Empty Pure, Splendid Pure, Treasure Pure, and Pinnacle Pure.

Every level contained great profound secrets. It was regarded as the greatest art to unblock the body and temper the qi and blood.

At the pinnacle level, one would be surrounded by a halo of the nine pure lights and bathed in millions of auspicious lights. Their infinite qi and blood would never be completely destroyed!

After a long period, Lin Xun woke up from the meditative stage.

He could not stop marveling. This art is indeed beyond terrifying, mysterious, and powerful.

For example, at the Upper Pure Level, once successfully mastered, one’s body would be as tough as steel, and their qi and blood able to tear apart tiger and leopards.

And its power would be tyrannical, able to crush qi cultivators of the same generation!

Best of all, the Nine Pure Saint Body Art was interconnected with various combat arts.

For example, after he tempered his physical to the Upper Pure level, he awakened the secret in his qi and blood and grasped the corresponding physical combat art.

Upper Pure Thirty-Six Combat Seal!

For example, at the Jade Pure level, his physical body transformed into a pure jade combat body and he grasped the Jade Pure Seventy-Two Destroyer Combat Art.

All these were wonderful beyond words.

“Big Brother, have you decided?”

In the distance, A’lu donned a solemn expression. When it came to physical training, he had the most experience and could even act as Lin Xun’s teacher.

Lin Xun nodded.

“In that case, I will pass on everything that I know.”

A’lu was a very decisive and straightforward person. “Big Brother, when you reach the level of the Cyclic Derivation Stage in physical cultivation, you should train with the Ancient Tablet of All left by the battle emperor. As long as you can withstand its many training and tests, you won’t have a problem tempering your physical power to the supreme stage.”

“Okay.” Lin Xun grinned.

......

Buzz!

Qi and blood pulsed around Lin Xun like wild lava as wisps of white mist rose on the surface of his body like an illusion.

In the distance, Toady, the big black bird, and A’lu were watching closely.

“Say, how long do you think it will take for my big brother to cultivate his physical power to the Cyclic Derivation Stage?” asked Toady.

The stages of physical cultivation were different and included drawing qi and blood, tempering the muscles and bones, strengthening the five internal organs, and polishing the acupoints...

But in this world, both physical cultivators or spirit cultivators followed the cultivation stages of qi training.

The big black bird responded in a serious tone, “At least three months.”

“Wrong, it will only take one month.”

A’lu said in a low voice, “Physical training, qi training, and spirit training are interconnected. Big Brother already possesses a cultivation base of the seventh longevity tribulation, and inadvertently, he has laid a solid foundation for his body, blood, and qi.

“His cultivation will definitely improve by leaps and bounds along with his physical training. We can’t assess him in an ordinary way.”

The big black bird and Toady nodded.

For example, throughout Lin Xun’s cultivation, his physical strength had been constantly growing. Additionally, with every longevity tribulation he overcame, his body underwent an invisible transformation and improvement.

It was just that he had never practiced physical training.

Even so, he already possessed a vast and strong ocean-like foundation for physical training. With practice, he would definitely sail right through the cultivation stages.

Likewise, physical cultivators would see a similar trend if they practiced qi.

However, due to the existence of the Taboo Dao Tribulation, cultivators in the world would at most simultaneously practice spirit and qi, or spirit and physical.

Very few would choose physical training and qi training.

The reason for that was very simple. At the King Stage, the spirit was like a lantern linked with the secret of longevity, and it played an immeasurable role in comprehending the great dao and understanding profound arts.

No cultivator would want to give up on spirit training!

“But, isn’t there only a very slim chance of him breaking through to the Cyclic Derivation Stage after only three months of physical training?” asked the big black bird doubtfully.

Boom!

While he was talking to himself, he saw Lin Xun, who was sitting cross-legged in the distance, releasing rays of beautiful light, Then his qi roared around him and turned into dazzling pure light and drifted around in the air.

“Have you broken through to the perfect True Martial Stage so quickly?”

A’lu’s eyes were wide with surprise.

Toady and the big black bird were also startled. He had only begun practicing less than one hour ago, but he already made a breakthrough!

After a moment, Toady stated, “This is the beginning stages, it’s normal for progress to be faster.”

A’lu and the big black bird nodded in agreement.

Given Lin Xun’s current cultivation, it was a piece of cake to breakthrough in physical training and they should not make it a big deal.

Three days later.

Lin Xun made another breakthrough, reaching the Spirit Dipper Stage in physical training!

A’lu and the others stared at Lin Xun, flabbergasted.

Lin Xun’s breakthrough speed was beyond fast. It simply broke all laws of logic!
