The Prodigies War

An opportunity to build the foundation for the Saint-King Stage?

Lin Xun wasn’t tempted by this.

He was only waiting for the right time to break through on his path, so he didn’t need any opportunity at all.

As though knowing what Lin Xun was thinking, Yu Qingyang said, “This opportunity was left by the founder of the Yu Clan, Emperor Yu, and the location is restricted by a ‘World-Guarding Nine Cauldrons’ pattern. Whoever is capable of entering that place can obtain the Great Dao Field of Nine Cauldrons Refinement.

“You may not need to worry about breaking through stages, little friend, but have you ever considered how you should build your own Great Dao Field?”

The question changed Lin Xun’s outlook on this matter.

The Saint-King Stage came with the mastery of one's own Great Dao Field. Once deployed, this domain would be like a mini world where one was the overlord with infinite power against the enemy.

The knowledge on the condensation of his own Great Dao Field was exactly what Lin Xun lacked at the moment.

He said, “Please guide me, Senior.”

Yu Qingyang said, “A field is like a world. Making it a Great Dao Field is to create this world’s Law Power by deriving it from the daos under your control.

“We cultivators study heaven and earth with the ultimate goal to turn the laws of heaven and earth into our own, thus the Great Dao Field is born.”

According to Yu Qingyang, the power of a Great Dao Field corresponded to the power of the dao under one’s control.

The higher the quality of the dao, the more powerful the Great Dao Field would be.

A very important thing to note was that the Great Dao Field of a supreme Saint-King was always a level higher than that of an ordinary Saint-King in terms of power!

Likewise, it also differed between different supreme Saint-Kings.

“Take a look,” said Yu Qingyang, who then shifted his mental state.

Lin Xun’s vision blurred for a quick moment before he found himself in a marvelous Great Dao Field with expansive mountains and rivers, vast sky, and lush greenery. It was brimming with vitality everywhere.

It was hard to believe that this was a Great Dao Field as it was no different from a small world!

“With just a thought, I can transform these mountains and rivers into the dao law power of this world, using it to suppress the opponent.”

As Yu Qingyang’s voice echoed, the expansive mountains and rivers in the distance looked like they had come to life all of a sudden, turning into a blade that stretched across the sky with peerless might and sharpness!

“These clouds, air currents, grass, trees, earth, light and shadow…can all be turned into my power.

“In short, within this field, I am the Creator. Everything is possible, even controlling life and death, with a movement of my mind!”

When Yu Qingyang finished speaking, the mini world also vanished.

Lin Xun, however, couldn’t calm down.

In the past, he had suppressed Ma Taizhen, killed Wei Chong and Chai Feng…and had gotten to experience their Great Dao Fields in the process.

Compared to Yu Qingyang’s Great Dao Field, theirs were like run-down straw huts.

“The power of one’s field is omnipresent. Little friend, watch again.” Yu Qingyang extended a finger, the tip of which abruptly glowed with a small, beautiful dao light.

Lin Xun looked over. The mere smudge of light on the fingertip seemed to be filled with all sorts of grand dao mysteries derived into countless Law Powers!

“A Great Dao Field can not only trap and kill opponents, but also be coalesced at any time with anything. When in battle, sword qi, blade qi, fist qi, finger qi, palm qi…no matter the technique, they can all contain the coalesced power of the Great Dao Field.”

Yu Qingyang was a Blade Emperor who had long shaken the Ancient Nebula World!

Lin Xun had benefited greatly from being instructed by him personally and had gained a deep understanding on the mysteries behind the Great Dao Field.

This kind of guidance was no different from formally teaching a disciple!

Yu Qingyang said, “You already possess the physical build of a Sage while also treading the path of supreme. Your next big breakthrough will definitely bring you into the Saint-King Stage, so the only thing you need to consider now is how to build your own Great Dao Field.

“That’s why I suggest you go to the Great Yu Secret Realm. The World-Guarding Nine Cauldrons formation left by my clan’s founder there has an immeasurable benefit to condensing and tempering Great Dao Fields.”

By this point, Lin Xun gladly agreed, “Many thanks for your guidance, Senior!”

Yu Qingyang boomed with laughter. “Come, come, let’s drink.”

From this day on, Lin Xun began his stay at Jiuhua Sacred Mountain and concentrated on cultivating. Occasionally, he would discuss with Yu Qingyang about the dao and be struck with epiphanies.

Yu Qingyang was not stingy with his guidance, and it could be said that he had taught Lin Xun everything he had felt and realized on the path of cultivation.

To Lin Xun’s delight, the problem of choosing a sect for Nan Qiu, which had been worrying him, also got solved when Yu Qingyang learned about this. The Emperor had directly made a decision to take Nan Qiu in.

The fact that Blade Emperor Qingyang, who was famous throughout Ancient Nebula Road, actually agreed to let her cultivate under his guidance was a shock and pleasant surprise for Nan Qiu.

……

Time trickled by.

The Yu Clan’s situation had greatly brightened and stabilized under Yu Bikong’s vigorous reform.

He didn’t use this opportunity to raise his son to the position of future patriarch, but instead chose to conduct the clan competition to screen for candidates.

This let the clansmen heave a sigh of relief.

A few days later, the Yu Clan’s competition kicked off as scheduled.

Lin Xun, with Nan Qiu in tow, went to watch the ceremony, where he received special courtesy from all the clansmen present.

Nowadays, it had long been clear to the Yu Clan that this young man named Lin Daoyuan was a close, deeply connected friend of Ancestor Qingyang, so who dared to treat him as an ordinary person?

Two days later.

The clan competition came to an end with three candidates standing out from the rest.

They were Yu Yunfeng, who was the eldest among the young generation, Yu Yunlong, the second eldest, and Yu Yunhe, the sixth.

Yu Yunhe’s performance was completely unexpected by most of the clansmen.

Only now did they realize that the junior whom they had regarded as an uneducated playboy all these years was actually extremely strong!

This also proved what his father had said: how could a waste of space become the first in the young generation to become a supreme Big Saint?

As for Yu Yunzheng, who had been targeting Yu Yunhe, he had not once shown up at the competition.

The reason was simple. Since he had joined forces with Lan Caiyi to harm Lin Xun, and then joined forces with other juniors to target Lin Xun and Yu Yunhe, Yu Bikong had put him in prison without hesitation. He probably would never be able to rise again in his life!

Today, Yu Bikong announced that half a month later, Yu Yunhe, Yu Yunfeng, and Yu Yunzheng would be traveling to the Great Yu Secret Realm with Lin Xun!

……

The Great Yu World had been turbulent for some time recently, all because the Great Yu Secret Realm was about to open once again!

This time, all the top figures of the Nine Major Worlds in the Ziheng Star Field, including the Great Yu World, would come to participate in this feast.

Whoosh!

A treasure ship sailed through the air, carrying Lin Xun, Yu Yunhe, and the others toward the far horizon.

The Great Yu Secret Realm, located around Nine-Province River, was a forbidden area filled with cold torrents that swirled down from the sky.

Even Saints didn’t dare to approach it under normal circumstances.

When the Great Yu Secret Realm opened, the cold torrents over the Nine-Province River would recede, revealing the entrance to the secret realm.

On the treasure ship, Lin Xun was a bit curious. “Wasn’t the Great Yu Secret Realm left by your clan’s founder? Why would you allow everyone else in the major worlds to take part?”

Yu Yunhe quickly explained, “This I know. When our founder, Emperor Yu, crafted the nine Emperor-grade cauldrons, he borrowed primal chaos from the Nine Major Worlds. Therefore, he promised that he would open up the Great Yu Secret Realm to the nine worlds, and those who are fated can all explore it for opportunities.”

Lin Xun finally understood.

Several days later.

Their group smoothly arrived before the Nine-Province River.

Rumble~

This vast river seemed to come from the sky with thunderous waves and big sprays of water splashing in all directions. The surging cold torrents spread out in a spectacular and terrifying manner.

When their ship arrived, innumerable cultivators had already been present.

“The Yu Clan’s juniors are here!”

“Yu Yunhe? Hahaha, even that pompous dude is here. Do they have no other junior left?”

Upon seeing Lin Xun’s group, there was a commotion in the area. Many people laughed and scoffed when they spotted the famous spendthrift Yu Yunhe.

As for Lin Xun, no one asked him due to his unfamiliar face.

Yu Yunhe appeared unperturbed. “Don’t pay those blind fellows any attention, Brother Lin. Let’s find a place to rest. There are only almost three days until the entrance to the secret realm is revealed.”

The group then found a spot to settle down.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a fiery rainbow cut across the sky and arrived at the area.

Within it, one could vaguely see a figure that resembled a fire-winged god shrouded in streaming flames. His brows and hair were deep-red. His wings, as they flapped, flowed with a magnificent rain of fire.

As soon as this person descended, an overwhelming pressure filled the atmosphere, causing the void to violently distort and wail.

A person exclaimed in shock, “It’s Chi Lingzi from Huoming Great World. Legend has it that he was born with an innate dao fire body and an extraordinary aptitude. He is currently the number one supreme Big Saint in Huoming Great World!”

Someone informed what they knew, “It’s him! I didn’t think he’d come as well. I heard that after the big rerank a few years ago, Chi Lingzi stepped onto the 73th rank on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings and caused a sensation in the entire Ziheng Star Field.”

Many people gasped, and the area became restless.

“Impressive…”

“A rival that everyone must double their guard against!”

Yu Yunhe, Yu Yunfeng, and Yu Yunlong revealed serious expressions.

Those who could be ranked in the top 100 of the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings were rare existences even among the numerous big worlds in Ziheng Star Field.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun didn’t bat an eyelid.

Back in the Kunlun Dominion, he had killed a good number of supreme Big Saints ranked higher than Chi Lingzi, such as Xu Lingkun, Gu Cangxin, Meng Yi… So how could he consider this kind of character an opponent anymore?

Not to mention, even though Lin Xun himself was reluctant, he had to accept a fact.

He was now number one on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings.
