The Prodigies War

"Eldest Senior Brother, the rest is up to you."

It took quite some time before Lin Xun was finally able to regain his calm. He had done everything he could. Now, his eldest senior brother had to rely on himself to achieve a true rebirth. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, or a butterfly breaking free of its cocoon, Eldest Senior Brother needed to undergo the rebirth alone!

That day, Lin Xun paid a visit to his second senior brother, Zhong Qiu, his third senior sister, Ruo Su, and the others. When he shared the good news, all his senior brothers and sisters became emotional, nearly losing their composure.

After all, Eldest Senior Brother was undoubtedly a main pillar of Fangchun Mountain and was the most respected person in everyone's hearts after their master. Hence, all of the Fangchun disciples had been plagued by immense sorrow when his body and primordial spirit were shattered by Xinhu years ago.

Who among them wouldn’t be happy hearing that their youngest junior brother had succeeded in giving him a chance at rebirth?

"Thank you, Youngest Junior Brother." Zhong Qiu solemnly cupped his hands together.

"Thank you, Youngest Junior Brother."

The other senior brothers and sisters also cupped their hands in unison. Everyone was overwhelmed with emotion, unable to steady their churning hearts.

Meanwhile, at a certain tall and steep mountain in the All-Wonder Dominion...

Amidst a chess game, the Lord of Fangchun Mountain was suddenly taken aback. Soon after, he laughed heartily. "How wonderful! The opportunity for my first disciple's transformation has finally arrived. From now onwards, he will leap out from the confines of fate, and become free from all constraints!"

Opposite him was the handsome, simply-dressed and barefooted golden cicada. He pointed at the chessboard with a faint smile. "Dao Brother, you’ve lost."

The Lord of Fangchun looked down at the chessboard in surprise and said, "The essence of the game lies in the state of one’s heart. Since my heart state has been affected, you managed to seize the initiative. However, I am more than happy to lose this game, hahaha..."

The golden cicada said, "It is certainly a cause for celebration that your first disciple will no longer be bound by fate. However, his transformation also shows that your youngest disciple has already grasped the secrets of Nirvana. If nothing unexpected happens, he should arrive at the All-Wonder Dominion in a few years."

The Lord of Fangchun nodded and said, "What’s meant to come will come."

The golden cicada thought for a moment and asked, "Dao Brother, may I ask why you chose him back then?"

The Lord of Fangchun pondered for a moment and answered, "It was unintentional."

The golden cicada's eyes lit up as he exclaimed in admiration, "A truly wonderful unintentional act! Allowing the one to escape must naturally be unintentional. If one were to plan in advance, it would instead lead to a disadvantage."

The Lord of Fangchun revealed a bitter smile. "I’ll be frank, rather than saying I chose Lin Xun, it’s more accurate to say that his path is the opportunity I’ve been waiting for. Everyone in the world knows I am waiting for that particular lotus flower, so why wait instead of seeking it?"

The golden cicada chuckled and said, "Agreed, it is a path which cannot be forced."

The Lord of Fangchun smilingly nodded. "Because of that, I have never interfered in that child's cultivation journey. His current achievements are entirely his own, not because of me, his master."

The golden cicada thought for a moment and softly said, "Fate can never be explained by mere words."

......

The Sea of Fate, Spirit Martial World.

Lin Xun entered secluded cultivation again. Just earlier, he had entrusted his eldest senior brother’s reconstructed body to his second senior brother, Zhong Qiu, for safekeeping. As for when his eldest senior brother would wake up, that would depend entirely on him.

Thirteen more years passed. The seventh Great Dao Fate Lotus appeared. Lin Xun, Xing Jianxia, and Fu Nanli set off for the Fate Lotus World once more. Twenty-one days later, the dao competition came to an end.

Over this period, Lin Xun traveled alone across the Fate Lotus World and successively eliminated eight of his enemies, causing yet another commotion. However, he was somewhat unlucky in the final competition for the Fate Lotus Altar and was matched against one of the top competitors, Daoist Shuixun, in the first round.

Although he ultimately achieved victory, he was severely injured and had to give up the subsequent competition. The final winner of this dao competition was Divine Lord Baiya, allowing three old monsters from his faction to ascend the Fate Lotus Altar and head to the All-Wonder Dominion.

It was also worth mentioning that Lin Xun and Xia Zhi managed to absorb and refine more and more fate principle power in the Fate Lotus World. From then on, Lin Xun and Xing Jianxia would participate whenever the Great Dao Fate Lotus appeared every once in a while.

......

As flowers bloomed and fell, three hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

The twenty-fourth appearance of the Fate Lotus World...

Lin Xun, Xia Zhi, Xing Jianxia, and Fu Nanli were seated atop the Two Polarities Heavenly Pass.

"I wonder how those old fellows are doing in the All-Wonder Dominion."

Xing Jianxia took a sip of wine as he reminisced about Daoist Shanfeng, Xun Daoyan, and Divine Master Linglong who had left for the All-Wonder Dominion long ago.

"After we seize this round’s Fate Lotus Dao Altar, you and Senior Fu can go visit them to see how they’re doing." Lin Xun chuckled.

In the past three hundred years, they had participated in more than a dozen competitions in the Fate Lotus World. Some were failures, but others were successes.

Over this period, Daoist Shanfeng, Xun Daoyan, and Divine Master Linglong had used the Fate Lotus Dao Altar to travel to the All-Wonder Dominion.

Xing Jianxia asked, "What about you? Are you planning to keep killing your enemies in the Fate Lotus World?"

For the past three hundred years, Lin Xun had been seeking revenge on his enemies whenever he entered the Fate Lotus World. By now, his enemies’ factions had long fallen into disarray.

In fact, the remaining enemies in Jiang Mingshui’s, Ying Tiansheng’s, Zhu Tianjun’s, and Huanglong Zhenjun’s factions had not dared to set foot in the Fate Lotus World in the last hundred years!

"There's still plenty of time, and I'm in no hurry to leave." Lin Xun chuckled. "Moreover, although Du Feng’s and Weng Xinghai’s factions have suffered many casualties, they have not truly been defeated. Perhaps I will consider going to the All-Wonder Dominion after dealing with Du Feng and Weng Xinghai."

At present, there was only a little over three hundred years left until the arrival of the epochal catastrophe. However, this was more than enough for Lin Xun.

Fu Nanli remarked, "Du Feng and Weng Xinghai have clearly grown extremely wary of you. If they are determined to avoid you, it will be very difficult for you to find an opportunity to deal with them."

Over the years, Lin Xun's cultivation had progressed by leaps and bounds. In a one-on-one battle, even powerhouses like Chi Qianji and Tian Xingzi were no longer his match! It was no exaggeration to say that apart from Su Wanjun, who had never partook in the dao competitions, Lin Xun was the strongest in the current Fate Lotus World!

This was something that even Chi Qianji and Tian Xingzi acknowledged. After all, they had already experienced repeated defeats at Lin Xun’s hands. For this reason, Du Feng and Weng Xinghai never confronted Lin Xun directly. Whenever there was a possibility of a showdown with him, they would intentionally give up in advance.

He had also tried to directly challenge the Heavenly Gate they guarded. Unfortunately, whenever that happened, Du Feng and Weng Xinghai would retreat before Lin Xun could arrive. As a result, he had been unable to find any opportunity to kill them until now.

Lin Xun softly muttered, "That doesn’t matter, I will catch them sooner or later."

He didn’t inform Xing Jianxia of the new discovery he had come upon while comprehending the fate principle power of the Fate Lotus World over the past three hundred years. The principle power covering the Sea of Fate was no longer capable of suppressing him!

In fact, even without using the power of the Dao Fate Orb, Lin Xun could step into the Sea of Fate without being suppressed or harmed. He knew that if he could one day freely traverse the Sea of Fate, he might be able to break through the barriers and enter other epochal worlds!

When that time came, he would no longer need to enter the Fate Lotus World, because he could directly attack the epochal worlds of his enemies!

"Lin Xun, I also want to participate in the dao competition this time."

Suddenly, Xia Zhi’s melodious voice rang out like the sounds of nature.

“Sure!” Lin Xun agreed with a grin.

Xia Zhi had completely assimilated the sealed power left by the Eternal Night Divine Emperor, making her current cultivation equal to the Eternal Night Divine Emperor at her peak. The most frightening part was that she had also mastered the powers of fate, karma, and time.

When taking all these into account, Lin Xun would have to bring out his full strength in order to gain a slight advantage over her.

A few days later, the opportunity to seize the Fate Lotus Dao Altar emerged, so Lin Xun and the others returned to the area in front of the Fate Lotus Dao Altar. However, there were noticeably fewer old monsters participating compared to before.

Top dogs like Divine Lord Baiya and Fa Wuxiang had already left for the All-Wonder Dominion. As such, only four factions were left to participate in this round's dao competition. These were the factions of Chi Qianji, Tian Xingzi, Lin Xun, and Daoist Shuixun.

"Where’s Du Feng and Weng Xinghai?" Lin Xun was taken aback.

Chi Qianji sighed and said, "Unless you go to the All-Wonder Dominion, they probably won't come to the Fate Lotus World again."

Tian Xingzi added, "It isn’t just them, many other old fellows from various factions won't come either."

The factions that harbored animosity towards Lin Xun were only a fraction of the total. There were numerous other factions, only they weren’t powerful enough to be considered significant.

Originally, these factions also had the chance to participate in the dao competition. However, Lin Xun's presence had extinguished their interest. As a result, the number of participating factions had gradually decreased...

"Are the two elders implying that I am the problem?" Lin Xun forced a smile.

Chi Qianji laughed heartily. "Hahaha, I won't lie, the other old fellows from various epochs in the Sea of Fate are only concerned about one thing at the moment, which is when you will be leaving for the All-Wonder Dominion. Once you’re gone, the situation will inevitably return to its previous state."

Tian Xingzi teasingly said, "Although Dao Friend Wanjun’s combat prowess is unmatched, everyone knows she won't participate in the competition. However, you, Lin Xun, are different. As long as you’re around, aside from a few of us oldies, the others won't foolishly come looking for trouble."

Lin Xun pondered briefly and said, "If there’s an opportunity to send off Elders Xing Jianxia and Fu Nanli, I won't participate in the competitions for the Fate Lotus Dao Altar in the future."

He added, "Of course, if Du Feng and Weng Xinghai dare to participate, I won't just sit by and watch either."

Upon hearing this, Chi Qianji and Tian Xingzi exchanged a look, feeling a sense of relief. For the past three hundred years, Lin Xun had effectively dominated every competition. If he continued to participate, the competition would become increasingly meaningless for Chi Qianji and Tian Xingzi.

After all, who would enjoy being defeated by him time and time again? Definitely not them since they were not masochists.
