The Prodigies War

Chapter 1477 Return to the Ancient Wasteland Domain

It’s time to leave...

Under the night sky, Lin Xun lay alone on an old pine on the side of a cliff. His hands were clasped behind his head, and he gave off a relaxed demeanor as the mountain wind ruffled his long, black hair and clothes.

In the distance, a sea of clouds rolled across the sky under the starlight. It was very peaceful and quiet.

The two mighty factions, the Magi Brute Camp and the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races, had long since collapsed and ceased to exist.

The curtain had also fallen on the great opportunity of Mulberry Woodland, while Zhao Yuanji and the others had received their wish and had left for the Ancient Nebula Road with the golden cicada youth.

Even the two Saint experts, Niu Zhenyu and the Dark Blood Magi Saint, had met their demise.

Lin Xun’s cultivation trinity of physical, qi, and spirit had reached the ninth longevity tribulation stage, and he had successfully overcome the Taboo Dao Tribulation. In other words, there were no longer any major obstacles that hindered him from ascending to the Saint stage.

If he thought about it, it was indeed about time for him to leave.

However, Lin Xun was feeling a little down.

He took out a wine gourd and took a small sip.

He was still somewhat worried about his friends and relatives on Mind Cleansing Peak.

Once he left, he would return to the Ancient Wasteland Domain to participate in the Conflict of the Nine Domains. Who knew when he would be able to return in the future?

A long time passed before Lin Xun inwardly muttered, "It’s fortunate that I’ve already made the necessary arrangements before coming to Blood Kill Battlefield. As long as I’m alive, there will be no possibility of the Lin Clan being destroyed..."

A look of calm determination flashed deep within his eyes.

This was the destiny of all dao seekers.

The higher one climbed, the more distanced they would grow from their previous bonds.

Yuncang Mountain Camp was brightly lit amidst the night. Many people were gathered together to drink and chat, creating a lively and noisy atmosphere.

"Without Young Master Lin to turn the tide, would the empire camp have any chance to overturn the momentum and crush the other two camps?"

"How exhilarating. When I return to the empire, I will publicize the great things Young Master Lin has done so that everyone in the world will know his name!"

"Agreed, Young Master Lin is our benefactor. Anyone who dares to be an enemy of the Mind Cleansing Peak Lin Clan in the future will also be our enemy!"

......

Lin Xun couldn't help but smile as he listened to these conversations. He raised his head and drained all the wine in his gourd in one fell swoop. He then rose to his feet and gracefully landed on the ground.

Since it wasn’t the eternal parting of life and death, it wasn’t a true goodbye.

There was always a chance for them to meet again in the future!

With his hands behind his back, Lin Xun turned around and entered his room.

Early the next morning, Zhao Xingye, Shi Yu, Ning Meng, Li Duxing, Ye Xiaoqi, and the other empire experts watched as A’hu drove a cyan lotus boat carrying Lin Xun, Zhao Jingxuan, and Toady away into the sky.

"Take care!"

Shi Yu and the others couldn't help but display a touch of sadness and disappointment in their eyes.

After all, who knew when they would next meet again?

"Take care!"

Zhao Xingye's expression was tinged with a sliver of anticipation.

She firmly believed that with Lin Xun's foundations and talent, his future accomplishments were destined to be limitless.

"Take care!"

The other empire experts in the camp were also feeling emotional.

The short time they spent with Lin Xun was destined to be a brilliant stroke in the story of their cultivation journey that would never be forgotten.

Lin Xun also inwardly murmured, "Take care."

He was headed to the Ancient Wasteland Domain for the Conflict of the Nine Domains and to ascend to the Supreme Saint stage!

......

Ancient Wasteland Domain, East Victory World.

At a grand and majestic mountain.

The air rippled strangely as space was suddenly torn apart like a cloth, and a cyan lotus boat emerged.

"The king is back!"

Toady looked around, feeling the difference in the aura of the world that made his eyebrows arch in happiness as he heartily chuckled.

Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan exchanged a look as they shared a smile. They had indeed returned.

Although they had initially planned to spend ten years cultivating in the lower realm, circumstances had forced them to change their plans, and they were now back in the Ancient Wasteland Domain after two years.

A’hu suddenly said, "Everyone, this is as far as I can take you."

She wore a goose-yellow dress that complemented her curved, black eyebrows and her fair skin. Her large and enchanting eyes also seemed to add a certain alluring charm to her pure aura.

"Are you returning to the lower realm?"

Lin Xun was surprised.

A’hu smiled and nodded. "Yes, I will come back to see you again when the Conflict of the Nine Domains is over."

She handed a Flying Immortal Tablet to Lin Xun and said, "Goodbye, everyone."

With that, she drove the cyan lotus boat away into the sky.

Zhao Jingxuan thoughtfully remarked, "Miss A’hu is a truly mysterious and unusual lady."

Lin Xun nodded. A’hu was indeed very mysterious. She had always given him an unreadable aura from when they had first met in Spirit Burial Sea.

Her beauty resembled a fairy who was untouched by the world, yet she also possessed a deadly charm like a temptress who could cause the downfall of nations.

Moreover, her behavior was often unexpected and incomprehensible.

However, Lin Xun was certain that she didn’t have any hostile intentions, which was enough for him.

"Big Bro, shall we get going?"

Toady rubbed his hands together with an expectant expression. "I wonder how the Ancient Wasteland Domain has changed over the past two years since we left. Do you think any of the guys who went into the Supreme Realm with us have reached the Saint stage?"

Lin Xun grinned and said, "Go then, let’s have a look."

He had a very relaxed attitude. After all, he only needed to focus on honing his cultivation before the Conflict of the Nine Domains began.

Soon after, the trio set off.

Lin Xun, Zhao Jingxuan, and Toady traveled to various places.

These were locations with great origins, such as famous ancient ruins, cultivation paradises, and even a few legendary scenic spots.

Occasionally, they would also visit different cities to learn about current affairs.

At present, Lin Xun's cultivation was at the ninth longevity tribulation stage. As such, ordinary diligence and hard work were no longer enough if he wished to progress to the Saint stage.

Instead, traveling and seeing the world was greatly beneficial to his cultivation.

There was a natural beauty to the world that didn’t need to be said. Only by experiencing it would one be able to broaden one’s horizons.

Besides perfecting one’s cultivation, one also needed to polish one’s mind, heart, and soul to become a Saint expert.

The experiences of traveling and visiting various famous locations allowed one to gradually understand the world outside society.

On the other hand, experiencing worldly affairs allowed one to understand society.

Both types of experiences brought different benefits to one’s cultivation. Lin Xun's travels amidst nature and society allowed his cultivation to undergo a rare sedimentation-like process.

It was several months later before their journey finally came to an end as they found themselves approaching Star Chess Sea again.

Star Chess Sea was enveloped by the Zhoutian Star Dipper Array. After crossing the sea, one would arrive at the famous Immortal Mountain.

It was the same Immortal Mountain where the Little Giants List Competition had kicked off all those years ago.

At the same time, Immortal Mountain was also an entrance to the Nine Domains Battlefield!

On the shore, Toady suddenly said, "Big Bro, I’ve gained many insights recently and wish to cultivate in Star Chess Sea for a while."

Years ago, he, Lin Xun, and A’lu had cultivated in Star Chess Sea and it had become a home of sorts to them in the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

Lin Xun nodded.

Since Star Chess Sea was covered by the Zhoutian Star Dipper Array, it was akin to a forbidden zone for other cultivators that they didn’t dare to step into.

For Lin Xun, however, the Zhoutian Star Dipper Array was a layer of protection that he could control.

After leaving Toady behind, Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan set off again and headed to Ink White Province, where Spirit Treasure Holy Land was located.

Along the way, Zhao Jingxuan explained, "Since I’ve reached the ninth longevity tribulation stage, I’m eligible to take the sect’s Saint Qualification Assessment. If I pass, I will obtain a supreme inheritance that will be very beneficial to my cultivation. It is an opportunity that I do not wish to miss out on."

Lin Xun nodded. "Do you want me to accompany you?"

Zhao Jingxuan pursed her lips and smiled. "Forget it, if those old monsters in the sect discover you, they will probably lose their minds and attack you."

Lin Xun couldn't help but burst into laughter.

On this topic, Spirit Treasure Holy Land wasn’t the only ancient orthodoxy in the Ancient Wasteland Domain that hated him.

While he had been afraid of them in the past, his current mindset was now completely different.

Of course, such grudges could never be taken lightly. Lin Xun believed that if he appeared in Spirit Treasure Holy Land, those old monsters would definitely try to kill him as soon as possible!

Zhao Jingxuan thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I will go to Star Chess Sea to find you after I obtain the inheritance from the sect."

Lin Xun naturally had no objections. He said, "Sure, but let me accompany you to Ink White Province. I will take my leave after we arrive."

It was at this time that they heard a piece of surprising news.

"An envoy from the Blood Demon Ancient Domain had crossed the domain boundary and descended upon the Ancient Wasteland Domain. He is currently a guest at the Hidden Holy Land, Divine Apparatus Pavilion!"

Blood Demon Ancient Domain!

It was one of the other Eight Domains!

Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan were shocked. As far as they knew, the other domains were enemies of the Ancient Wasteland Domain, and there was an irresolvable blood feud between them!

Hence, it was almost unthinkable that an envoy from the Blood Demon Ancient Domain had arrived in the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

"Why have they sent envoys here?"

Lin Xun frowned. He had a vague premonition that a storm would soon rise in the Ancient Wasteland Domain. After all, their enemies had never appeared in the Ancient Wasteland Domain before!

Lin Xun soon learned that the Blood Demon Ancient Domain envoy’s purpose was most likely related to the Conflict of the Nine Domains!

Unfortunately, he couldn’t find out anything else.

After arriving at Ink White Province, he watched Zhao Jingxuan return to Spirit Treasure Holy Land before turning around to leave.

He planned to continue looking around.

Not long after leaving Ink White Province, a piece of shocking news spread from Divine Apparatus Pavilion that caused an uproar in the Ancient Wasteland Domain.
