The Prodigies War

Chapter 264 Ancient Priest Cultivator

Huh?

When Lin Xun returned from the Omega Secret Realm, Xue Jin, who was drinking in the courtyard, turned ashen-faced.

He detected a familiar murderous spirit gushing out from Lin Xun’s room again!

Don’t tell me that kid is possessed by inner demons again?

Xue Jin didn’t have time to think. He rushed into Lin Xun’s room and his face dramatically changed when he saw Lin Xun sitting cross-legged.

As I thought, he is under the attacks of inner demons again!

Killing intent frantically roamed around Lin Xun’s body. His expression alternated between sinister and deranged. It was almost the same as when the inner demons possessed him the last time.

“Damn it, what is this kid doing now!? Hasn’t he learned his lesson?!”

Xue Jin was so furious that he almost cursed out loud. Liu Qingyan and Granny Feng had already left. No one could save Lin Xun now.

What to do?

Xue Jin wanted to break open Lin Xun’s head and see what he was thinking. The same thing had happened twice, does he want to die?

“Old Jin, I’m fine, please go out first. I can kill the inner demons myself this time,” Lin Xun suddenly spoke, his voice incredibly calm.

Xue Jin didn’t believe it. He carefully studied Lin Xun and indeed found that the tyrannical murderous spirit was weakening. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and leave the room.

As Xue Jin returned to the courtyard, his expression grew strange. He couldn’t figure out what sort of secret art Lin Xun was cultivating that could cause inner demons to repeatedly enter his body. It was very abnormal!

However, Xue Jin was most baffled by Lin Xun’s unprecedented confidence in facing the inner demons for the second time. Xue Jin couldn’t help but suspect that Lin Xun was practicing an art that used inner demons to temper his cultivation.

I can’t figure it out!

Xue Jin felt more and more that Lin Xun was abnormal. He’s a monster that always does unpredictable things!

Only heavens know how such a person will grow up and who he will become!

Xue Jin didn’t know that Chief Instructor Xu Sanqi and Xiaoke from Blood Kill Camp also felt the same way about Lin Xun.

……

One day later, Lin Xun woke up from his meditation and eliminated the inner demons from his body!

Although there were many inner demons in his mind at that time, they could no longer shake his state of mind. Under those circumstances, every time he expelled a shadow of death, it was similar to a learning experience and he realized more about the mysteries of Star-Gather every time!

Danger and luck went hand in hand; when danger was gone, what remained was luck!

In Xue Jin’s view, Lin Xun had gained an incredible opportunity after his two experiences with dealing with inner demons. It allowed Lin Xun to experience the mystery and power of the inner demons and would no doubt be beneficial for his cultivation in the future.

If even inner demons couldn’t shake Lin Xun’s mind, it was easy to imagine how strong and tough his mind had become.

……

Another seven days passed.

It was Lin Xun’s third attempt in the Hundred Battles secret realm!

Familiar with the process, Lin Xun started the battles without wavering.

He easily defeated all his opponents along the way like he was splitting bamboo.

He hadn’t lost once and quickly reached the 99th battle.

Since he hadn’t lost once, his body was free of inner demons and his grasp of Star-Gather had reached an unprecedentedly terrifying level!

“The 100th battle is against a human race cultivator!” The familiar cold and emotionless voice rang again, announcing the commencement of the final battle.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes. “Human Race!”

Shua!

A sculpture shattered as a slender figure burst out. It was an impressive- and imposing-looking man. He radiated an ancient aura.

He was clad in a Daoist priest robe from ancient times. He stood barefooted with a long scimitar in his hand and his long hair draped over his shoulders.

His bearing, appearance and mannerism were like those of an ancient priest cultivator from ancient times.

Just as Lin Xun was ready to fight, the ancient cultivator suddenly spoke, “Fellow Daoist, please listen to me first.”

This was the first time that someone had talked to Lin Xun in the Omega Secret Realm. He immediately increased his vigilance.

“What is it?” asked Lin Xun as he studied his opponent.

“My name is Wei Mingzi, and I am the 15th generation descendant of the Supreme Immortal Sect. I accidentally entered this place and suffered a calamity. In the end, I lost my cultivation and was sealed here as a wisp of a remnant soul. I’m so happy to meet a fellow Daoist here. I wonder if you can help free me from this place so I will no longer have to suffer like this?” Wei Mingzi explained, his voice filled with melancholy, pain and helplessness.

Lin Xun just nodded, but he was inwardly surprised. Supreme Immortal Sect? What kind of force is that?

From Wei Mingzi’s appearance and mannerisms, he has to be an ancient Daoist priest cultivator. And the Supreme Immortal Sect must be a sect in the past.

Wei Mingzhi was a little taken aback by Lin Xun’s reaction. He took a deep breath and said, “Fellow Daoist, if you help me, I will grant you a supreme opportunity!”

Lin Xun’s interest was piqued. “What opportunity?”

Seeing that Lin Xun was tempted, Wei Mingzi said emotionally, “Once you have helped me, you will understand. I swear on my life. If I lie, I will die a tragic death!”

“You’re already in a state worse than death. Can your promise be trustworthy?”

Wei Mingzi’s lips curved in a bitter smile. “Fellow Daoist, every word I said is true. I will never deceive you.”

Lin Xun pondered for a moment and said, “I can promise you, but you’ll have to wait until I pass this level.”

Wei Mingzi’s face lit up at first but his expression dramatically changed when he heard the second half of Lin Xun’s sentence. He cried out, “Absolutely not!”

Lin Xun couldn’t help feeling suspicious. “Why is that?”

Wei Mingzi’s face reddened with hatred and he hissed through gritted teeth, “Fellow Daoist, you might not know but this place is a trap! Any cultivator who enters this place will have their minds controlled and will be manipulated by the master of this place. You will become his puppet and he can control your life and death!”

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes and didn’t say anything.

Wei Mingzi frowned. “Fellow Daoist, do you think I am making up lies? To tell you the truth, I also tried to pass this level, but I later found out that everything is a lie. The so-called opportunity and the so-called reward are all lies to use and control us! If you don’t obey or try to resist, you will end up like me!”

Lin Xun said in puzzlement, “Fellow Daoist, I have passed several levels but nothing like what you said has ever happened."

Wei Mingzi looked distressed. “Fellow Daoist, why do you not understand? How would there be such opportunities and rewards that you can get your hands on so easily in this world? Once you think you have received a lot, you have already fallen into the trap! Otherwise, why else would I have been trapped here?”

Lin Xun was silent for a moment and then he said, “My views are different from yours. Before I entered this place, I was a piece of trash who couldn’t cultivate. It’s only because I came here that I can change my fate and step on a new path.”

After a pause, he smiled. “As for whether I will be used and manipulated, I’m not worried at all. A Human Dipper cultivator like me has nothing worth being used, right? Also, so what if I am being used? At least it proves that I still have some value. I don’t mind paying a price for the rewards.”

These were his heartfelt thoughts.

If it weren’t for the Omega Secret Realm, how would Lin Xun be where he was?

“You...you...” Wei Mingzi was speechless.

Suddenly, he seemed to notice something, and he said anxiously, “Fellow Daoist, time is running out. I beg you, please help me. When I escape from here, I will fulfill my promise and grant you a supreme opportunity!”

“Fellow Daoist, if even the supreme opportunity can’t help you, why do you think I can? Do you think I would believe you?” Lin Xun’s jet-black eyes were chilling as he reached the end of his sentence.

Lin Xun didn’t believe Wei Mingzi from the start. His appearance was too sudden and too strange, and there were many suspicious points.

Moreover, Lin Xun had reached the final battle of the Hundred Battle Secret Realm. Even if Wei Mingzi was genuine, Lin Xun would still choose to complete the level first instead of helping Wei Mingzi.

“Fellow Daoist, you…”

Wei Mingzi’s face contorted in a sinister and ferocious grin as endless killing intent surged out from his body. It was as though he had become a bloodthirsty demon lord.

He roared, “Fellow Daoist, you forced me to do this. If you agreed to help me, you might be able to keep your life. But now, I will not only kill you but also occupy your body, extract all your consciousness, and use them to reborn and leave this damn place!”

His voice was terrifying.

Boom!

His long hair flapped about in the air and he brazenly attacked. The blade in his hand swept across the sky like a river of stars. He also performed the Star-Gather move!

“I knew it would be like this. You were too impatient. If you had waited a little longer, maybe I would have wavered and helped you. It’s a shame.” Lin Xun smiled coldly. His blade emitted a clear cry and, without any hesitation, it slashed through the air.

He was trying to kill me under the guise of help and then occupy my body for him to be reborn!
