The Prodigies War

In truth, it was understandable that no one thought of that. After all, Mount Heedless was extremely vast and shrouded in terrifying destructive aura and deadly dangers.

One felt as tiny as an ant when walking through it. Who would have imagined that such a tremendous mountain was a treasure?

Lin Xun suddenly remembered something. “Oh, right, you just said you wanted me to take you away?”

The platform was silent for a long while before it spoke again. “If I fall into your hands, it would be a disaster rather than a blessing for you.”

“What does that mean?” Lin Xun raised his brows.

“You’re too weak.”

Lin Xun felt a knot form in his heart when he heard Mount Heedless spirit’s answer. He had heard such words before.

Some had said it with pure contempt and ridicule, deeming him too weak to be a disciple of Fangchun Mountain.

Others had stated this with disappointment, thinking that a disciple of Fangchun Mountain should not be so weak...

However, Mount Heedless spirit’s answer was more direct.

“Because you are too weak, you failed to sense my willpower when you were outside the mountain gate. And you were unaware that I told you that you did not need to enter to take me away...”

Lin Xun stood speechless.

So, does that mean when I was outside the Gate of Ruination, when the spirit of Mount Heedless followed me, I could have just left with the chaos treasure of the mountain?

Thinking of this, Lin Xun was speechless again, overwhelmed by disbelief as he smiled awkwardly.

After all his painstaking efforts and bloody battles, he finally was qualified to enter the Gate of Ruination, but it was totally a waste of time!

He now understood that this must have been an arrangement made by his Senior Sister Jun Huan, so that he could easily take away this great fortune upon arriving at Mount Heedless.

Unfortunately…

He had no idea about it!

Despite that, he could not say that he regretted his action. If he had not gone through those fierce battles, would he have proven himself and achieved a breakthrough?

“It is because of your breakthrough that you are faintly able to sense my presence and communicate with me.” The spirit of Mount Heedless explained, “But it seems like the power you have now is still…too weak.”

The corners of Lin Xun’s lips twitched. That blunt assessment from the spirit of Mount Heedless filled him with a sense of gloom.

“I might be weak now, but I will not be like this in the future!” Lin Xun took a deep breath and said in a determined voice, “As for what you said about it being a disaster rather than a blessing, I don’t care.”

His true identity had been exposed, and he had killed countless disciples of powerful clans and sects in the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone.

Moreover, a group of old monsters of the Emperor Stage was waiting outside!

Would he have done all that if he was afraid?

“Compared to the woman back then, you are far inferior, but since she asked you to come, I will not refuse to leave with you.” Although the words were harsh, it lifted Lin Xun’s spirits.

“However, given your current strength, you can’t possibly control or mobilize the power of Mount Heedless. And I am just a wisp of willpower and can’t help you with much.”

The spirit of Mount Heedless continued, “Now, are you sure you want to take me away?”

“Of course!” Lin Xun answered without any hesitation.

He never expected the chaos treasure to help him with anything. Instead he just thought of it as a foundation stone for rebuilding Fangchun Mountain.

Besides this, he asked for nothing else!

“This mountain has a flaw, so it is not considered complete.” The voice of Mount Heedless spirit rang again. “The mountain is missing a piece of sacred stone, which is also its core and origin. The great dao law power that envelops this mountain is all born from that stone.”

“Then where is this missing piece of the sacred stone now?” Lin Xun asked anxiously.

The Mount Heedless spirit was silent for a moment before it responded, “Beneath your feet.”

Lin Xun was flabbergasted. Only then did he realize the spirit of Mount Heedless was talking about the platform!

“The hole in the stone wall is where this sacred stone was born. If you take this sacred stone away, you will take the entire Mount Heedless with you.”

Lin Xun looked over and saw that there was indeed a hole in a corner of the towering stone wall, and it was more or less the same size as the platform beneath him.

The spirit of Mount Heedless did not lie.

“When you take away this sacred stone, my power will fall into a dormant state, and only when your power reaches a level strong enough to awaken me will the true secret of Mount Heedless be revealed to you.” The voice of Mount Heedless’s spirit was devoid of emotions.

It made sense. It was formed from a wisp of willpower and did not possess its own spiritual intelligence.

“I understand.” Lin Xun nodded. “But I don’t plan to leave just yet.”

He had just regained consciousness. Although he had confirmed that he had reached the Supreme Quasi-Emperor Stage, he needed time to familiarize himself with and grasp the new power.

A new cultivation stage signified an entirely new source of power and a different path forward.

After reaching the Quasi-Emperor Stage, the power that Lin Xun possessed was infinitely close to the real Emperor Stage, but as for how powerful it was, he himself had no idea yet.

Therefore, he needed time to properly understand it.

The spirit of Mount Heedless did not object.

Lin Xun immediately sat down cross-legged on the platform and began to meditate, comprehending the secrets and mysteries of the Supreme Quasi-Emperor Stage.

Quasi-Emperors stood above the Saint Stage and were infinitely close to the Emperor Stage.

The Quasi-Emperor Stage was divided into three levels.

The three kinds of cultivation bases of a cultivator, namely physical cultivation, spirit cultivation and qi cultivation, would each condense to form a Dao Divine Flame.

This was also known as the Quasi-Emperor Triple Flame!

Once one condensed a Dao Divine Flame, one was considered to reach the first level of the Quasi-Emperor Stage.

Two flames were regarded as the second level of the Quasi-Emperor Stage.

And when one had formed three Dao Divine Flames, it was called the third level of the Quasi-Emperor Stage.

Ninety-nine percent of quasi-Emperors in the world were stagnant at the first level of the

quasi-Emperor Stage.

The reason for that was because cultivators tended to either focus solely on physical cultivation, spirit cultivation, or qi cultivation

Since the path they sought was limited only to one kind, even if they attempted to practice the other two in the future, it would be challenging for them to advance beyond the first level of the Quasi-Emperor Stage due to an inadequate great dao foundation.

For example, almost all the quasi-Emperors that had died at Lin Xun’s hands were at the first level of the Quasi-Emperor Stage.

However, unlike them, Lin Xun was already a supreme quasi-Emperor who practiced all three paths and had already integrated them into one.

This made him different from other supreme quasi-Emperors. At the first level of the Quasi-Emperor Stage, his condensed Dao Divine Flame had already integrated the wonders of the three cultivation bases: physical cultivation, spirit cultivation and qi cultivation!

It should be noted that, for a typical quasi-Emperors, at the first level of the Quasi-Emperor Stage, regardless of the kind of Dao Divine Flame they condensed, the flame would only be integrated with powers of one of the three paths!

This indicated that Lin Xun’s cultivation was completely different.

However, this did not mean that Lin Xun’s cultivation was good enough to soar to the third level of the Quasi-Emperor Stage. Instead, it meant that the Dao Divine Flame he condensed was too unusual.

Lin Xun had also noticed this, so after carefully understanding it for a while, he came to a vague conclusion.

Although my Dao Divine Flame is unusual, it is unique and the power condensed in it is extraordinary!

At the Quasi-Emperor Stage one can grasp incomplete emperor laws. This is why it’s called the quasi-Emperor Stage...

Lin Xun pondered while trying to stabilize and understand his own cultivation.

I practice the Grand Dao Yellow Court Classic. With my current strength, I should now be able to grasp the secrets of the Five Virtues Stage. If I succeed, the five dao bodies will gain consciousness and cultivation that are as strong as those of my original body…

At that time, if we are attacked again, I can fight back with the strength of six!

As time went by, Lin Xun gradually immersed himself in training.

……

In the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone, deep in the mountains, at the foot of an inconspicuous mountain, there was a natural underground cave.

“In less than ten days, this trip to the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone will come to an end.” Xie Yuhua murmured as she woke up from her training, “Time really flies.”

“I wonder how Brother Jin is doing now. He is by himself. I wonder if he can successfully get his hands on the chaos treasure,” Leng Xiujia said worriedly.

“He definitely can!” Jintian Xuanyue’s beautiful eyes flashed with determination.

Next to the three was a lake spewing out cold air. The waves rolled, producing snow-white foam and filling the air with a clean and delicate fragrance.

This was an extremely mysterious pool of water. The cold air gushing out of it was filled with unimaginable great dao power

Training here brought unexpected benefits to all three of them.

After entering the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone, the three very quickly met up with each other and started to explore the dangerous world together.

They did not covet any fortune. The only thing they had in mind was to protect themselves and leave the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone alive.

Then, they accidentally discovered the underground cave and the mysterious ice-cold lake.

From that day on, the three had been training in the cave and had never left once. Fortunately, they had also not encountered any danger.

However, as the trip to the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone was about to come to an end, the three couldn’t help but think of Lin Xun and started to worry about him.

“Why don’t we go outside and scout around?” Leng Xiujia suggested.

Jintian Xuanyue and Xie Yuhua exchanged a glance, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.

Right away, the three set off together and left the underground cave.

Unfortunately, not long after they left, they ran into two cultivators who were exploring the mountains.

It was a man and a woman. The man had a muscular build, broad shoulders, and menacing eyes. The woman was in a green dress and had a bewitchingly captivating face.

Both came from other worlds in the starry sky.

The two were startled by Jintian Xuanyue and the others and immediately became vigilant.

However, after identifying Jintian Xuanyue and the other two, a look of relief crossed their faces, quickly followed by disdain that creased their brows.

How would they not know that if it weren’t for Lin Xun’s protection in the Mythical Huang Secret Realm, those three would not have become qualified to enter the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone?!
