The Prodigies War

Chapter 1858: Broken Blade’s Earthshaking Change

In another VIP room, a crimson-robed dignified old man’s face was so overcast that it was frightening.

Bang!

He smashed the table in front of him with a slap. Violent raging flames spread outwards from him while his spirit sense swept the area.

Unfortunately for him, the private room where Lin Xun was in was blocked off by restriction power, preventing the detection of spirit sense.

“Which bastard dares to snatch my treasure?” raged the crimson-robed old man as his face darkened.

Around him, the group of men and women were all as silent and still as cicadas in the winter.

The crimson-robed old man was called Shang Song, and he enjoyed resounding fame in Qing State—Ancestor Burning Flame!

He was a dao rune founder who had made a name for himself long ago and was respected wherever he went.

The men and women around him were all his disciples.

“Ancestor, it's just a piece of Sky Blue Mythic Spirit Stone. No matter how precious it is, it can't be worth such a high price. Please don’t get so angry that it affects your health.” A woman comforted him in a soft voice.

“What do you know?!”

Ancestor Burning Flame gnashed his teeth, eyes menacing and terrifying, “Based on my many years of experience in crafting treasures, that item is definitely not as ordinary as it looks.”

The men and women now understood why their ancestor would fight so hard.

“One million and eight hundred thousand!” Suddenly, Ancestor Burning Flame made another bid, a price that almost made his heart bleed.

The atmosphere in the auction hall became increasingly quiet.

Countless cultivators were already dumbfounded. The bid of one million and a half was already mental, but now the bid had suddenly soared to one million and eight hundred thousand!

Who would have thought that this extremely rare but relatively unpopular godly material would be bid at such a sky-high price?!

It was also the highest bid for any item sold at the auction so far.

“Could it be that the godly material is extraordinary?”

“Go and check.”

In some private rooms, the important figures of Qing State were taken aback and realized that there might be more that they did not know.

They also began to pay closer attention to the godly material again.

On the auction stage, Pu Lanzhi was also bewildered. She knew very well about the origin of the Sky Blue Mythic Spirit Stone and she had also had it appraised by several treasure appraisers, but no one found anything noteworthy about it.

She reckoned that she would have struck it lucky if the godly material fetched eight hundred thousand dao crystals, but she never imagined such a situation.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the auction hall turned strangely silent.

Regardless of how hard those important figures investigated, they found nothing unusual, which made them even more confused.

Could the intense bidding war be because there was more to the godly material or was it just a fight of egos?

Lin Xun was oblivious to everyone’s reaction and announced another bid, “Two million.”

Those two words were like a thunderclap striking the entire audience.

“Who the hell is in that room?”

“Two million dao crystals...how many extraordinary Saint treasures can one buy with that?”

“This is simply inhumane!” Ancestor Burning Flame was so enraged that veins popped on his forehead and smoke rose from his seven orifices.

Two million dao crystals!

He could afford it, but if he spent so much now, he would be short of money in the upcoming auctions.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and gave up the bidding.

He issued an order, “You all go and find out the identity of the person in that room. Since they dare to go against me, I will make them pay for it once the auction is over!”

There was a hint of murderous intent in his voice.

……

In the end, the Sky Blue Mythic Spirit Stone was won at a sky-high price of two million dao crystals and soon delivered to Lin Xun’s room.

After paying the dao crystals, Lin Xun received the treasure, and holding it in his hand, his eyes glittered strangely. This treasure is indeed extraordinary!

The fist-sized ore was a dreamy sky-blue color with seventy-two natural silver dao runes on its surface, and emitted a wondrous star-like luster.

Jintian Xuanyue looked at it from the side, but she saw nothing special.

But at this moment, the Broken Blade was moving restlessly inside Lin Xun’s body, showing signs of desire, agitation, and urgency.

All this was because of the Sky Blue Mythic Spirit Stone!

“Miss Xuanyue, I have to do something now. Can you protect me in the meantime?”

As Lin Xun spoke, he folded his hands into a hand seal.

Buzz!

Obscure and complex restriction dao rune arrays intertwined in midair and enveloped Lin Xun.

What wonderful dao rune skills!

Jintian Xuanyue’s beautiful eyes sparkled with amazement, but then it was replaced by a look of disappointment.

He set up restriction arrays around him because he does not want me to see what he’s going to do next.

“When will you actually trust me...” A hint of sadness flickered across her limpid eyes.

Unfortunately, Lin Xun did not notice this.

He did this not because he was guarded against Jintian Xuanyue, but because once he exposed the Broken Blade, she would know his real identity.

After all, he had killed countless opponents in the Kunlun Dominion, and his weapons and treasures were well known to everyone!

Shua!

The Broken Blade slashed out like a wolf starved for countless years. It instantly erupted a blaze of light that shrouded the Sky Blue Mythic Spirit Stone in Lin Xun’s hand.

Crack…

With a series of cracking sounds, the fist-sized Sky Blue Mythic Spirit Stone shattered and shards went all over the ground. If Ancestor Burning Flame saw this scene, his heart would ache terribly.

Those shards were all essence, the key to tempering a life-bound Saint weapon!

However, the Broken Blade seemed to have no interest in them at all.

Before long, as shards fell, it revealed a bead around the size of a pigeon egg. It was a pure sky blue color without any impurities.

Endless sky blue light spread outwards from the bead.

Vaguely, Lin Xun seemed to see a sky blue ocean roaring with rich and pure great dao vitality!

The vitality was so strong that Lin Xun had to take a deep breath. A divine object that was recorded in the All-Inclusive Plant Index popped up in his mind.

“Blue Spirit Dao Source, born in the land of the beginning of primal chaos, is like the embryo of the world. The vitality contained inside is the essence of all living things and the beginning of all!”

In short, Blue Spirit Dao Source was the innate vitality of a world when it was first born, just like the yolk of an egg; it was the source of life.

According to the All-Inclusive Plant Index, there were many kinds of such natural dao sources, which could be roughly divided into the five elements, yin and yang, wind, lightning and other primitive attributes.

Blue Spirit Dao Source was one of them.

Thinking of this, Lin Xun couldn’t help but gasp. What a harvest!

He had not imagined that a Sky Blue Mythic Spirit Stone would actually contain a Blue Spirit Dao Source. Its value was beyond dao crystals!

This was because it was incredibly rare and one could only come across one serendipitously. Any cultivator who obtained it would not sell it no matter what.

The Broken Blade glowed brightly as it madly absorbed the power of Blue Spirit Dao Source.

Visibly, streaks of Natal Treasure Runes that looked like golden dragons rushed across the surface of the Broken Blade.

Back in the Kunlun Dominion, the Broken Blade had absorbed huge amounts of Treasure Refining Dao Qi and formed fifty-four Natal Treasure Runes.

Now, the number of Natal Treasure Rune was constantly increasing!

Every increase strengthened the aura of the Broken Blade and amplified its snow-white glow.

Soon, Lin Xun felt a stinging sensation in his eyes and mind.

The nearby space, as if unable to bear the force, exploded and split with countless cracks.

If Lin Xun had not covered up everything with restriction arrays, this strange phenomenon would have destroyed all the furniture and ornaments in the room!

“Eighty-nine, ninety, ninety one…”

As Lin Xun watched the changes in Broken Blade, his heart began to burn.

The Saint treasures in the world were roughly divided into two categories: Ordinary Saint treasures and life-bound Saint weapons.

Ordinary Saint treasures were rather common with the majority of Saints owning one. Their power was based on their grade and quality.

However, life-bound Saint weapons were different. Not only were they extremely rare, but they also were extremely difficult to craft and temper, requiring specific timing and opportunity.

In general, the power of life-bound Saint weapons was far stronger than that of ordinary Saint treasures of the same grade. Additionally, a life-bound Saint weapon could perfectly coordinate with its master to unleash its full potential.

This fact alone made them superior to other Saint treasures.

The key lay in the fact that life-bound Saint weapons possessed Natal Treasure Runes!

Once they formed their own Natal Treasure Rune, their power would undergo a transformative change!

Once one hundred Natal Treasure Runes were condensed, the power of a life-bound Saint weapon would be raised to a whole new level and give birth to a weapon spirit, which had the potential to double the combat power of their wielder!

This process was actually very similar to a cultivator making breakthroughs and ascending to the next cultivation level, except that the growth of a life-bound Saint weapon was based on the grade of their Natal Treasure Runes, and the ultimate goal was to form a weapon spirit!

Weapon spirits possessed intelligence, mind, cultivation base, and combat power; they were almost no different from a real cultivator.

However, weapon spirits were rarely seen. Among thousands of life-bound Saint weapons, there might not even be one with a weapon spirit.

Of note, those that did could unleash power beyond imagination in battle!

The weapon spirit of No-Nonsense Bow was Wuque. Back then in Sunset Current Valley, it had killed Saint-Kings with such ease that it was like slaughtering chickens.

According to Wuque, Fei Lan, who took the form of a blood-colored moth, was originally the weapon spirit of the Dao Primal Chaos Bell.

And Fei Lan was searching for an opportunity to become an Emperor!

Right now, as Broken Blade rapidly transformed, its number of Natal Treasure Rune was almost approaching one hundred!

Unfortunately, to Lin Xun’s surprise, when the number of Natal Treasure Rune reached ninety-nine, the transformation suddenly slowed.

The power of the Blue Spirit Dao Source was close to being completely drained, which made Lin Xun a little anxious.

PA!

Not long after that, the bead transformed from the Blue Spirit Dao Source shattered and scattered like ashes.

At this moment, a blurry Natal Treasure Rune slowly condensed on the top of Broken Blade, but it was extremely illusory and faint.

Even so, Lin Xun trembled inwardly, and a shocking scene emerged in his mind—In a vast expanse of darkness, a pair of eyes snapped open!
