The Prodigies War

Chapter 1609: He Has Returned

Chapter 1609: He Has Returned

Law Power tumbled in the sky, slowly forming a vortex channel.

Lin Xun quietly waited.

In this trip to the Flying Immortal Battle Realm, he had reaped great benefits on top of killing some enemies. Currently, he had eight Flying Immortal tablets that had collected the full amount of Fortunes of War Merits.

In addition to that, the spoils of war obtained from his dead foes was even more astonishing. All kinds of divine treasures and exotic materials piled up in a mountain, the value of which was incalculable!

At the very least, he wouldn’t have to worry about lacking cultivation and refinement supplies in a long time to come.

Synchronously, his progress in cultivation was also impressive.

After refining the Night Sky Jade Vine, one day of cultivation now yielded him the same gain as a hundred days in the past, allowing him to reach the peak of the intermediate True Saint stage.

It wouldn’t be long before he entered the advanced True Saint stage!

If this kind of cultivation speed was publicized, the world would definitely tremble.

After all, the Nine Domains Battlefield had only been open for two years.

During this, Lin Xun had smoothly transferred from the supreme King to the supreme Saint stage, and until this point, he was already at the perfection of the intermediate Saint stage. This speed was nothing but earth-shaking!

The most unbelievable thing was that he never tried to get stronger just for the sake of it. Every step he had taken was far more solid than that of his peers.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to possess unrivaled battle strength among the same generation!

Generally speaking, every step was difficult on the path to realize one’s Saint Dao. Why was it that Saint experts were rarely seen in the Ancient Wasteland Domain?

Because they were all in secluded cultivation!

For those True Saint characters, it was common practice to be in seclusion for thousands of years in order to make a breakthrough in their cultivation stage.

The fact that Lin Xun was able to become a Saint in just two years and make repeated breakthroughs in the Saint stage had a great deal to do with the Nine Domains Battlefield.

Only it held the opportunities and fortunes that helped a supreme Saint rapidly transform!

Had Lin Xun chosen to stay in the Ancient Wasteland Domain instead of entering the Nine Domains Battlefield, he wouldn’t have been able to attain supreme Sainthood so quickly.

“Master, the Flying Immortal Battle Realm will soon close. In this third Conflict of the Nine Domains, you deserve the title of the Number One of the Nine Domains Battlefield!” said Little Silver excitedly.

Little Sky nodded in agreement. “I’ve heard that the two fellows who earned this title in the previous two domain conflicts both stepped into the Great Emperor stage later on. With your current aptitude, becoming an Emperor in the future won’t be difficult at all.”

This time in the Flying Immortal Battle Realm, their master was simply invincible and had crushed through everything. He absolutely deserved to be titled number one!

The big black bird, however, seemed unconvinced. It snorted, “Don’t forget that I saved your master from the malicioushands of a supreme Big Saint. By that definition, Master Bird is the true Number One of the Nine Domains Battlefield!”

Little Silver instantly retorted, “Thieving bird, I dare you to duel with my master and prove your claim!”

Little Sky’s expression also grew unkind.

The big black bird’s eyes darted around before it glanced at Lin Xun and tentatively asked, “Kid, wanna try?”

With a bright smile, Lin Xun agreed straight away, “Sure!”

The big black bird laughed dryly, “Forget it, forget it. This Flying Immortal Battle Realm is closing soon, what’s the meaning in a duel? Master Bird concedes. We can both be the Number One of the Nine Domains Battlefield.”

“Tied for first? Doesn’t sound too pleasant to me. It’s better we decide with a duel,” said Lin Xun as he took one step forward.

The big black bird whooshed far away like a bird startled by the twang of a bow, causing Little Silver and Little Sky to snicker.

This bird obviously lacks confidence at heart!

Lin Xun withdrew his step casually, but the big black bird felt its face burning and no longer mentioned the matter of being Number One of the Nine Domains Battlefield for the moment.

Buzz!

Soon, a huge swirling tunnel took shape in the sky.

“Let’s go!” Without delay, Lin Xun took Little Silver, Little Sky, and the big black bird with him and took off.

……

At the Ancient Wasteland Territory’s City of Protection.

It had been several days since the grand battle. The marks of devastation as well as the blood and corpses strewn around the city had all been cleaned up.

Everything was now proper and spotless.

The city was filled with ceaseless laughter, and the atmosphere was lively and boisterous. Every Ancient Wasteland Domain cultivator looked genuinely relieved and confident.

The eight domains’ army had come in full force only to escape in utter defeat, leaving behind a trail of corpses and blood. Their casualties could be said to be heavy.

According to post-battle statistics, just the number of supreme Saints slain exceeded a hundred!

This was an unprecedented blow to the eight domain camps. For a very long time in the future, it would be impossible for them to organize a force of similar scale for invasion.

On the contrary, the price paid by the Ancient Wasteland Camp was the damage on the Total Annihilation Perfect Protection Array. Miraculously, there wasn’t a single death toll!

“Miss Xia Zhi is too strong. She’s as close to invincible as one can get. I even doubt if Senior Lin Xun is a match for her at all.”

“What are you saying? No matter how powerful Miss Xia Zhi is, she’s still Senior Lin Xun’s partner, which makes him all the more admirable to me.”

“By the way, today is the last day of the Flying Immortal Battle Realm. I wonder if Senior Lin Xun will be able to return safely…”

“Bah! Shut that unlucky mouth of yours!”

There were endless discussions in the city.

Meanwhile…

“Say, who do you think Big Brother will greet first when he returns?”

Toady and A’lu were hiding in the shadows and spying on the two distant figures on the city wall.

There was something strange about the atmosphere between them!

Xia Zhi, still shrouded in eternal darkness, looked desolate as she stood still like a statue. Since the end of the battle several days ago, she had been quietly standing there without saying a word.

No one knew what had been going through Zhao Jingxuan’s mind as she also decided to stand there in Xia Zhi’s company with no intention of leaving.

“It’s definitely…” A’lu was just about to say something when realization suddenly jolted him that the seemingly simple matter of greeting wasn’t that simple at all.

No matter who Lin Xun would greet first, it…probably would make the other person feel unpleasant!

In the end, A’lu muttered, “As his brothers, there’s nothing we can do to help with this kind of thing. Let’s just wish him good luck as he fends for himself.”

Toady lamented, “Look at what we have here. Miss Jingxuan is refined and pretty like a fairy out of a painting, truly a perfect beauty in existence. Most importantly, she and Big Brother are in love with each other. They are a match made in heaven.

“But similarly, Xia Zhi is not one bit inferior. She had lived with Big Brother many years ago, and they’ve always shared such a close relationship. Moreover, you’ve already seen how beautiful she is. It’s a beauty that can topple cities, plunge nations into chaos, and steal all color from heaven and earth! Big Brother has always doted on her to the bone.

“Either of them is enough to make countless heroes bow their heads, yet both are closely tied to Big Brother.”

Speaking of this, Toady looked torn and let out a long sigh. “It’s not an easy choice, it’s really not an easy choice!”

A’lu also sighed, “Blasted. Even we feel entangled from just watching, not to mention Big Brother. It’s definitely much more painful for him.”

Toady grinned. “The blessing of having multiple partners is not something that every man can enjoy, especially when they are world-class beauties like Miss Jingxuan and Miss Xia Zhi. How could they possibly lower themselves to serve the same man?”

While the two guys discussed amongst themselves in whispers, the atmosphere on the city wall was quite odd.

Xia Zhi stood there enveloped in absolute darkness, which allowed no one to steal a glimpse of her face. She was mysterious and awe-inspiring.

But wherever she was, she would always be the center of attention.

On the other hand, Zhao Jingxuan was clad in a lavender dress and wore her hair down. Her face that was without makeup was as beautiful as a picture. She was tall and delicate, and her skin was fair and smooth like butter. Despite standing casually, she still maintained a dignified and noble bearing.

This was due to the environment she grew up in as well as the True Dragon bloodline flowing in her.

The two had been standing here for several days.

Anyone could sense the strange atmosphere between them, and therefore had all chosen to excuse themselves at the first opportunity.

As a result, only the two women had been staying there on the gigantic city wall.

“Let’s hope Lin Xun will come back soon, else I’m really worried there will be some kind of conflict between those two,” lamented Shaohao.

He was drinking with Xiao Cangtian, Ye Chen, and the others.

Ye Chen laughed, “On that note, since Lin Xun has become a supreme Saint, it’s time for him to choose a dao partner. I can only guess who he loves the most.”

Xiao Cangtian commented, “If it were me, I’d keep everyone I like by my side and save all that trouble.”

Ye Chen immediately ridiculed him, “But I heard that you were bullied by a girl when little, who forced you to scurry around with your bare buttocks to the point you nearly cried to your parents, and it was also since that time that you’ve been clamoring not to touch a woman for the rest of your life?”

Xiao Cangtian’s face stiffened and then turned red in fury. “And I heard that you, Ye Chen, were surrounded by a group of cousins with whom you played the kissing game every day, not to mention that you’ve liked eating rouge since you were a child. Aren’t you ashamed?”

Ye Chen’s face also darkened abruptly. He gritted his teeth. “That’s all in the past! I just didn’t know better as a child!”

Xiao Cangtian went tit for tat. “So what if I ran around with my bare ass when I was a kid?

Watching them bicker from the side, Shaohao wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to, and so was struggling to hold the laughter in to the point his cheeks were twitching. These two fellows are really born to oppose each other. They go at each other’s throats every chance they have and neither backs down once. Really gotta hand it to them.

“He’s back!” Ruowu’s voice that was filled with a pleasant surprise resounded outside the hall.

At once, all of the cultivators in the City of Protection noticed the huge vortex channel that suddenly emerged on the horizon.

Immediately afterward, a dazzling rainbow swept out from before turning into a tall figure. Clad in his fluttering moon-white clothes, he looked like an exiled immortal.

It was indeed Lin Xun!

Xia Zhi and Zhao Jingxuan, who had been waiting on the city wall, looked over in unison.
