The Prodigies War

Chapter 943 The Celestial Phoenix Nine Manual

The crashing current of the boundary river swept through everything, and the turbid waves leaped aggressively into the sky.

The treasure ship navigated through the river like a fish swimming in rough seas.

Kou Xing and the others knew the way so despite the many dangers along the way, they managed to avoid them time and time again.

In a room, Miss Le was sitting upright, pouring wine and drinking by herself as she quietly waited for Lin Xun’s answer.

The Great Dao Hidden King Token was a great temptation to every cultivator in the world. Anyone who grasped the opportunity would have the opportunity to practice in the Hidden Holy Land.

It was akin to a fish leaping over the dragon gate. From then on, the world was their oyster. Their identity, status, and even cultivation path would undergo earth-shaking changes.

But to Miss Le’s surprise, Lin Xun shook his head after a long moment and said, “I can’t accept this.”

”Why is that?” Miss Le was bewildered.

Lin Xun answered truthfully, “This thing concerns many things, so it is very difficult for me to make a decision now.”

“I understand.” Miss Le smiled after a thought, “However, you don’t need to decline it now. You will know later whether it is useful or not.” As she was speaking, she handed it to Lin Xun. “Young Master, don’t decline it, see it as a gift for a friend.”

Lin Xun sipped the wine and said with a smile. “Okay, I’ll take it.|

Afterward, the two chatted over a drink and seemed to have a good time. It was only after an hour that Lin Xun got up, said goodbye, and left.

……

“Interesting, the mighty Demon God Lin is not as arrogant and tyrannical as rumored...” Miss Le’s eyes glazed over, lost in thought.

Just as Lin Xun guessed, she had seen through Lin Xun’s disguise.

But through this exchange, she realized that Demon God Lin was not as arrogant or aggressive as rumored. Instead, he was very low-key, modest, and unfathomable.

“The clans and sects in the West Infinity World are stupid. They are going to regret treating a peerless genius like that.

“If possible, I want to form a friendly relationship with him...”

Miss Le twiddled with her drink for a long while, then a complicated smile came to her lips.

……

“That woman is indeed remarkable. She is not only beautiful but also intelligent and experienced in the ways of the world. She is a monster-like character.”

Meanwhile, Lin Xun was also amazed, his black eyes sparkling with admiration.

Smart people could make people feel apprehensive.

But Miss Le was different. She had already restrained her sharp edge, and she treated people gently and kindly. It was hard to dislike her.

This was why she was amazing. She was truly intelligent.

“Interesting, she comes from a Hidden Holy Land, and she seems to know many secrets that outsiders do not know. She can’t be just an ordinary person…” Lin Xun thought to himself.

From his conversation with Miss Le, he learned that the enemy hunting her down was an ancient kingdom called Aolai.

The Aolai Kingdom, located near a vast sea domain in East Victory World, had existed since ancient times and was also known as the Ancient Kingdom of All Ages.

According to Miss Le, the Aolai Kingdom was a top ancient force with an extremely solid foundation and true Saints watching over it.

In the Aolai Kingdom, the cultivation forces were all under the control of the Sacred Fire Sect, and its ruler, state teachers, and all important figures in the kingdom were disciples of the Sacred Fire Sect.

The entire Aolai Kingdom could be called the world ruled by the Sacred Fire Sect.

Lin Xun was not interested in the Sacred Fire Sect. He was only surprised to hear that the Sacred Fire Sect dared to hunt down Miss Le since she came from a Hidden Holy Land. This indicated that the Sacred Fire Sect was extraordinarily strong.

As for why Miss Le was being hunted down by the Sacred Fire Sect, she only gave a very simple answer. “The Sacred Fire Sect is a wicked sect that hides filth and evil and causes harm to the world. Everyone has a right to punish them.”

Lin Xun naturally didn’t believe in the reason, but Miss Le’s expression was very serious at the time so he didn’t question her further.

“Lin Xun, I‘m hungry.” Xia Zhi woke up, and her one sentence jolted Lin Xun out of his deep thoughts.

……

Meanwhile, a ship was glowing brightly as it navigated the unpredictable and dangerous boundary river.

“Although the boundary river is riddled with dangers, as long as we don’t encounter those damn Saint fragments then there’s no threat to us,” Shun Baixuan said with a smile, looking extremely conceited.

“By the way, what exactly do you want to do in the boundary river this time?” He turned to look at Luo Jia.

“Search for an opportunity.”

A bright red feather glowed like a beautiful fire in Luo Jia’s hand. The feather sprinkled out a rain of blood and emanated a chilling bloodthirsty aura.

Shun Baixuan recognized the feather with one glance. It was the Life True Feather of the Dark Blood Black Phoenix, a miraculous and valuable item, and a perfect material for crafting Saint treasures.

Moreover, it was marked with the dao of Dark Blood Black Phoenix, which had immeasurable magical benefits in cultivation.

Shun Baixuan seemed to realize something as he asked in surprise, “Are you looking for the Dark Blood Black Phoenix?”

“No, a wisp of the remnant spirit of the Dark Blood Black Phoenix.” Luo Jia hid nothing. “According to my master’s analysis, a Dark Blood Black Phoenix who had set foot into the Saint Path had died in the boundary river leading to the East Victory World but its spirit never dissipated. Instead, it was sealed in a mysterious ruin in the river.

“If I can get my hands on it, I can obtain the Black Phoenix Void Obliteration Art!”

Shun Baixuan’s eyes shone with divine light, and his countenance changed. “The Black Phoenix Void Obliteration Art is one part of the Celestial Phoenix Nine Manuals, have you really awakened the power of your bloodline during the Dao Lantern Festival? Does that mean you have grasped the profound meaning of the Celestial Phoenix Grand Dao?”

Luo Jia nodded, her expression calm and indifferent. She saw no reason to hide anything.

Shun Baixuan suddenly lost his usual calmness.

The Celestial Phoenix Nine Manuals was composed of the legendary nine supreme arts of the Phoenix Dao. In ancient times, it was called an unrivaled inheritance art of the world.

Each of them was a supreme secret, and the complete Celestial Phoenix Nine Manuals was even more amazing, possessing unimaginable mysteries relating to heaven.

However, the Celestial Phoenix Nine Manuals had never appeared in the world in its complete form since ancient times. It was divided into nine parts and scattered all over the world. To this day, no one had been able to unite them.

The most abnormal thing was that this art was so obscure that only the descendants of the phoenix clan who grasped the Celestial Phoenix Grand Dao could comprehend and control it.

In other words, even if other cultivators got their hands on the manual, they could only observe it but not practice it.

It was obvious that Luo Jia was now qualified to comprehend and practice the Celestial Phoenix Nine Manuals.

This was what shocked Shun Baixuan.

“Ji Xingyao comprehended the Supreme Mystery Grand Dao, one of the Four Wonder Kill Daos, and Yu Lingkong comprehended the Blue Lotus Grand Dao known as the Heaven and Earth True Wonder Dao.”

Luo Jia’s voice was gentle and clear like a clear spring of a secluded valley, “And I comprehended the Celestial Phoenix Grand Dao.”

Shun Baixuan’s eyes gleamed, and then he sighed regretfully. “Those are all grand daos that are listed on the Reaching Heaven Dao List, unfortunately, I missed out on such an excellent opportunity...”

In ancient times, the sages of the world evaluated the grand daos in the world and they believed that there were only ninety-nine of the three thousand grand daos that could be called ‘Reaching-Heaven.’

Later, cultivators in the world compiled the ninety-nine kinds of grand daos according to their mysteries and powers into the Reaching Heaven Dao List.

This was why Shun Baixuan felt so regretful. Given his status and identity, only the Reaching Heaven Grand Daos could make his heart flutter.

“Oh right, what profound grand dao did Demon God Lin comprehend?” Shun Baixuan suddenly asked.

“It seemed like the Vortex Grand Dao, but it was different. It’s very mysterious.” Luo Jia frowned in puzzlement. She still did not know the answer.

Her answer took Shun Baixuan aback. “How can that be? Can the others also not tell what it is?”

A strange light flashed in Luo Jia’s eyes. “Yes, no one saw it because the stone tablet he comprehended was silently destroyed and vanished.”

“That’s so bizarre.”

“So, I advise you to not target him. He has many mysteries that even I can’t see through.” Luo Jia took this opportunity to remind him again.

To her surprise, her words ignited Shun Baixuan’s fighting spirit. He exclaimed with great interest, “The more mysterious an opponent is, the more interesting it is. If they are too weak, I won’t bother to care about them.”

Luo Jia stared speechless at him.

It was then that a sound pierced the air with great force.

Huh?

Alarmed, Luo Jia and Shun Baixuan immediately exchanged glances with each other.

Shua!

The next second, the two steered the ship far away and disappeared.

Not long after that, a hundred-foot-long, blood-colored ship roared across the sky.

The surface of the ship was covered densely with runes and sacred fire totems.

On the ship stood six half-step kings, all dressed in black robes and emitting a terrifying murderous intent.

“Everyone, we have locked on the aura of that woman. If everything goes as planned, we will be able to catch up to her in half an hour,” said a black-robed man on the deck.

“Get ready to fight, this time, no matter what, we can’t let her escape again!” commanded an old man sternly. He had white hair but a youthful complexion and was the leader of the group.

“Yes!”

The black-robed man sprang up and darted off.

Soon, the blood-colored ship that was enveloped in a fierce and murderous aura whizzed through the void at incredible speed.

“The priests and disciples of the Sacred Fire Sect? Why are they here?” Shun Baixuan frowned in bewilderment as he operated the ship.

The Sacred Fire Sect was an ancient great sect in the Aolai Kingdom. It had a long-standing history that could be traced back to ancient times.

However, its reputation did not seem too good.

Shun Baixuan only knew that much because although the Aolai Kingdom was also in the East Victory World, it existed in the depths of the vast sea, which was almost isolated from the world. Rarely did news about that ancient kingdom spread to the outside world.

“Come on, let’s go and have a look too. The Sacred Fire Sect is very mysterious yet they appeared here. They must be planning something big!”

Before Luo Jia could agree, Shun Baixuan had already steered the ship to follow them.

Luo Jia felt her head throbbing. This guy is such a nuisance. He wants to join in the fun again...
