The Prodigies War

When Lin Xun was in the Kunlun Dominion some time back, he met the Dao Ruleless Bell which shared many secrets with him.

For example, the nine Emperor weapons born from the Treasure Refining Furnace were a divine sword, a battle spear, a bronze lamp, a battle flag, a dao seal, a jade bottle, a set of armor, a circular jade plate, and a divine blade!

The Dao Ruleless Bell told him that the Treasure Refining Furnace created nine Emperor weapons to defend Kunlun, but in doing so, it violated a taboo and faced an unprecedented catastrophe which ultimately resulted in its demise.

The nine Emperor weapons were hidden away in the nine secret realms of Kunlun. In the years that followed, they were retrieved one after another by their fated persons.

Among them, the jade bottle named the Dao Immeasurable Bottle was initially taken by Li Xuanwei of Fangcun Mountain.

Later on, in a twist of fate, the bottle was picked up by Lin Xun on Cangwu Mountain in the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

That bronze lamp known as the Dao Blameless Lamp was given to Lin Xun by the skeleton boatman in the Blood Underworld of the Supreme Realm.

In other words, Lin Xun was in possession of two of the nine Kunlun Emperor weapons.

Back in the present, Lin Xun immediately thought of the nine Kunlun Emperor weapons when he saw the peculiar reactions of the Treasure Refining Origin Furnace fragment, the bronze seal and the apricot-yellow flag!

Two particular treasures came to mind.

The Dao Lifeless Seal!

The Dao Structureless Flag!

Could they be these two Kunlun Emperor weapons?

Lin Xun couldn't help but grow excited. He took a deep breath and summoned the Dao Immeasurable Bottle and the Dao Blameless Lamp with a twirl of his hand.

A magical scene followed.

The Dao Immeasurable Bottle and the Dao Blameless Lamp began to glow and produce strange fluctuations that blended and resonated with the auras of the copper fragment, bronze seal, and apricot-yellow flag. A strange power began to rise from the objects like rippling steam.

As expected!

Lin Xun’s breathing paused as his eyes brightened. He had noticed a blurry image emerge on the fist-sized bronze seal.

In the image, stars shone brightly in the infinitely vast universe that contained endless mountains, rivers, and all kinds of life...

However, as a deep bronze light descended from the sky, the universe collapsed as countless stars and mountains crumbled to dust.

All life was also destroyed!

The horrifying scene made Lin Xun inwardly shudder and gasp.

In the end, a lone dao seal emerged amidst the endless destruction, emitting cryptic and mysterious bronze light...

Rumble!

The image rapidly faded away, replaced by strings of runes that connected to form an ancient word — Lifeless!

Under the dao, there was only death and no life!

There was no doubt that the unremarkable-looking bronze seal was actually the Dao Lifeless Seal, one of the nine Kunlun Emperor weapons!

Swish!

Before Lin Xun could react, brilliant light suddenly flashed from the apricot-yellow flag.

As the flag fluttered, hazy, mist-like dao light flowed out.

Lin Xun immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

The gorgeous and dreamy dao light gave off the sensation of a supreme sword god descending upon the world.

Every ray was akin to supreme sword qi powerful enough to split heaven and earth!

It seemed that if the flag was willing, the endless dao light could transform into a dreadful killing force that could never be escaped from no matter how or where one hid!

Despite how strong Lin Xun had grown, he involuntarily tensed up at the sight of the dao light, feeling alarmed as if disaster could strike at any moment.

In the end, these mist-like lights silently withdrew and disappeared into the apricot-yellow flag.

A word emerged on the flag’s surface, graceful like a sword and as light as feather — Structureless!

No fixed patterns, no fixed rules, but endless and infinite change!

Just as Lin Xun had speculated, the apricot-yellow flag was also one of the nine Kunlun Emperor weapons known as the Dao Structureless Flag!

Lin Xun was filled with joy. He never imagined that he would pick up such a huge prize in his brief trip to the underground black market.

He put away the rest of the items, leaving the Lifeless Seal and Structureless Flag, which now looked completely different.

Previously, the two treasures had no spirituality, no aura fluctuations, and were utterly unremarkable.

Now, the Lifeless Seal gave off a cold, grave, and intimidating presence. In his hand, it felt as if he was holding an ancient divine mountain.

On the other hand, the Structureless Flag was practically weightless. The flag fluttered gently as it emanated a crystalline luster, giving off an ethereal and uncertain sensation.

Lin Xun ultimately suppressed his impulse to test the two Kunlun Emperor weapons.

"Seng Yuandu said that his ancestor, Jiye, entered the Kunlun Dominion and left with several treasures. The fact that there were two Kunlun Emperor weapons included in the mix indicates that Jiye must be an extraordinary individual!"

Lin Xun looked deep in thought.

Kunlun Dominion and Fangcun Mountain were inextricably linked.

For example, there were traces left by his wild senior brother in the Flat Peach Secret Realm where a purple-haze-like woman was still silently awaiting his return.

Senior Brother Li Xuanwei had entered the secret realm atop Imperial Dragon Mountain and taken away the Dao Immeasurable Bottle.

In the Fengshan Platform forbidden zone, Ninth Senior Brother Ge Yupu had suppressed Demon-Beast Emperor Dutian under God Binding Heavenly Peak.

Lastly, the founder of Fangcun Mountain had left his inheritance on Fengshan Platform!

These series of events proved that there was an inseparable relationship between Fangcun Mountain and Kunlun Dominion.

Lin Xun couldn't help but wonder if Jiye was also related to Fangcun Mountain.

However, Lin Xun couldn't figure out any links no matter how hard he pondered so he stopped mulling over it.

He would ask his senior brothers and sisters if they had heard of Jiye when he met them again.

Lin Xun put away the Lifeless Seal and the Structureless Flag before he shifted his attention to the small pile of gray soil and the chunk of rotten divine wood left in the bronze box.

What were these treasures?

Just as Lin Xun was about to investigate, Heng Xiao's voice suddenly rang out from outside the cave dwelling.

"Young friend, I am sorry to bother you. There is something important that I must tell you."

Lin Xun immediately stored the bronze box with a wave of his sleeve and walked out of the cave dwelling.

"What is it, Dao Friend?"

Outside the cave dwelling, Heng Xiao was standing with a gloomy look and a frown on his face, which surprised Lin Xun.

"Earlier, I went to meet the distinguished guests from Central Plain State and learned of their identities."

Heng Xiao took a deep breath and told Lin Xun everything that had happened.

In the reception hall, he met a group of people headed by a purple-robed young man. Despite his lazy and sloppy demeanor, every move he made gave off the air of a monarch who ruled the world.

Moreover, he was surrounded by a group of peerless beauties, making him appear even more extraordinary.

From their conversation, Heng Xiao learned that the purple-robed youth was named Zhuanyu Heng and was from the Imperial Zhuanyu Clan. He had entered Heaven and Earth Dao Court at a young age and was now one of its core disciples and an exceptional talent.

A strange look flashed in Lin Xun’s eyes when he heard the name Zhuanyu Heng, recalling that he was one of the experts who had reached the peak of Fengshen Platform in the past!

"He came here to borrow my Xuanji Dao Sect’s power to search for and arrest a certain expert who appeared in Fierce Wind City’s underground black market.

"When I saw the portrait of the wanted expert..."

A strange look emerged in Heng Xiao’s eyes.

Lin Xun pointed at himself. "He’s after me?"

Heng Xiao nodded and revealed a bitter smile. "Zhuanyu Heng used his background to pressure me and even promised that he would do his best to help Xuanji Dao Sect in the future as long as you are captured.

"I naturally won’t believe such nonsense but I had to agree to his request. I came here immediately after sending them off."

Lin Xun understood the full picture.

The silver-masked man at the underground black market probably wasn’t Zhuanyu Heng but he was definitely related to Zhuanyu Heng.

They wanted to use Xuanji Dao Sect to capture him because of the treasures in the bronze box!

"What a coincidence."

Lin Xun pondered for a while before his aura suddenly changed. He had replaced his original body with the Yellow Earth Dao Body, making it seem as if he had become a different person.

Heng Xiao’s eyes widened in shock. He carefully inspected Lin Xun and remarked, "What a magical disguise technique!"

Even a quasi-Emperor like him couldn’t see through the disguise.

Moreover, he recalled that Lin Xun had used this appearance at the Cloud State Dao Debate Contest.

Lin Xun chuckled and said, "With this, there is no way for Zhuanyu Heng to find me."

Heng Xiao also laughed. "That will be best."

At this moment, however, Lin Xun's expression changed slightly. In his body, the four Kunlun Emperor weapons, the Immeasurable Bottle, the Blameless Lamp, the Lifeless Seal, and the Structureless Flag began to produce strange fluctuations.

Meanwhile, the Treasure Refining Origin Furnace fragment also started to vibrate.

Lin Xun suddenly remembered something the Dao Ruleless Bell had said in Kunlun Dominion.

"Young friend, after you leave the Kunlun Dominion, you’ll feel a strange sensation whenever you encounter other experts who also have any of the nine Kunlun Emperors weapons. Similarly, they will also be able to sense you. It's hard to say whether this will be a blessing or a curse."

At present, the unusual activity of the Dao Immeasurable Bottle and the other Kunlun Emperor weapons seemed to confirm the Dao Ruleless Bell’s words!

Suddenly, loud laughter rang out in the distance, scattering the nearby clouds. "Hahaha, how interesting. Sect Master Heng Xiao, who would have thought that the person I'm looking for would be hiding in your Xuanji Dao Sect?"

A dignified purple figure soon arrived, accompanied by a group of lovely young ladies.

Heng Xiao's expression immediately changed. Zhuanyu Heng hadn’t left!
