The Prodigies War

During his meditation session, Lin Xun witnessed a series of incredible phenomena.

The most striking of these were the four great dao manifestations related to the four great dao dominions, which manifested as the Return Dominion, the Kunlun Dominion, the Fortune Dominion, and the All-Wonder Dominion.

Among these, the All-Wonder Dominion was the most indistinct, far less clear and solid than the other three. However, Lin Xun could sense that as he comprehended and mastered some of the mysteries found in the Spirit Empowerment Origin, the aura of the All-Wonder Dominion had become significantly more solid!

"The Five Principle Laws of the Return Dominion, the Fortune Principles of the Fortune Dominion, the Principles of Fate of the Kunlun Dominion... Could the origin of the All-Wonder Dominion be related to the Principles of Life?"

Lin Xun meditated and deduced, completely unaware of the passage of time.

A full half-month later, he awoke from his meditation, his entire aura exuding a sense of simple and natural, devoid of any sharpness. He was as ethereal as a drifting cloud on the horizon, and as insignificant as dust in the world. His body had merged with the dao, and the dao followed its natural course.

With the freedom to transform, nothing was impossible. In other words, Lin Xun could transform into the heavens and earth, the sun and moon, or into dust and ants; all phenomena of the world, the dao of ancient and modern times, could be embodied within him. This was an ineffable divine charm of the great dao.

Ordinary people, upon seeing Lin Xun, would find him plain and unremarkable, like one of the masses, utterly devoid of any special qualities. However, if it were a supreme being who stood shoulder to shoulder with Lin Xun on the path of dao, they would certainly sense this wondrous charm emanating from him.

"Body and mind merge into the dao, and the dao transforms into nature—this can be called great freedom!"

Lin Xun finally understood why the Immeasurable Realm was also called the ‘realm of great freedom.’ After carefully contemplating his own cultivation for a while, he then rose and walked out of the room.

...

In the courtyard, Su Wanjun, dressed in red, was preparing tea. Xia Zhi sat in a wicker chair to the side, sipping her own tea. The atmosphere was tranquil, and the image was serene and beautiful.

Lin Xun's arrival did not break this perfect atmosphere at all; he naturally blended into this world. Only when he reached Su Wanjun's side did her fine hand, holding the teacup, tremble slightly. She had suddenly realized that Lin Xun had somehow arrived without her noticing.

She paused, looked up at Lin Xun, and said, "Young friend, your cultivation is becoming increasingly unfathomable."

Lin Xun smiled. "Half a month of secluded cultivation has yielded some insights, but I cannot say it is a lot of progress."

"Lin Xun, when will we leave this zone?" Xia Zhi asked from the side.

"We can leave now," Lin Xun replied casually.

He and Xia Zhi had already comprehended the Pillow of Golden Millet within the Heavenly Cycle Dao Laws of this zone, which basically meant they could leave whenever they wanted.

"However, before leaving, we still have some things to do," Lin Xun said.

"What is it?" This time, it was Su Wanjun's turn to be surprised.

Lin Xun smiled and said, "Go and deal with those Heavenly Mandate Apostles scattered throughout this zone. That way, they won't disturb your peaceful cultivation after Xia Zhi and I leave."

Su Wanjun felt a warmth bloom within her heart; she hadn't been cared for like this by a friend in a long time.

That very day, Lin Xun and Xia Zhi set to work. In less than seven days, the remaining dozen or so Heavenly Mandate Apostles belonging to the Zhen Department had been thoroughly wiped out by them. The news caused a sensation throughout the entire Past Retracing Zone.

Lin Xun and Xia Zhi had already set off, leaving the Past Retracing Zone through the heavenly gate. Before parting, Su Wanjun gave Lin Xun a jar of Humble Heart, which had been brewed by that swordsman. Lin Xun had originally wanted to leave Lingyuan and the Three-Inch Wooden Sword to Su Wanjun.

However, after realizing that they might affect her dao heart, he ultimately decided against it. In the end, Su Wanjun's obsession was too heavy. She herself probably realized this problem, which was why she chose to remain in this Past Retracing Zone, silently waiting for the swordsman who had been reincarnated and cultivated anew in the cycle of reincarnation.

...

The fifth sky zone of the Realm of All Spirits was called the Source of Evil Zone.

This sky zone was extremely mysterious. If human cultivators entered, they would encounter countless evils targeting humanity. If beings of other races entered, they would encounter countless evils targeting them. There was only one way to leave: destroy the Root of All Evil.

Before entering this zone, Lin Xun and Xia Zhi had discussed that whoever left the Source of Evil Zone first would wait to meet again in the sixth zone, the Thousand Tribulations Zone.

Of note, Lin Xun was human, whereas Xia Zhi's origins were ultimately related to the Spirit Empowerment Realm, making her an extremely special life form. Therefore, when the two entered the Source of Evil Zone, they would be completely separated. Consequently, the evils they would encounter there would also differ.

The Source of Evil Zone.

Buzz~

Ripples appeared in the void, and Lin Xun materialized out of thin air. The sky and earth were gloomy, demonic energy surged through the mountains and rivers, and white, withered bones were scattered everywhere on the ground. Even the void was filled with a pungent, fishy stench.

Lin Xun frowned slightly and said, "This zone is indeed as bloody as the rumors claim."

Before coming here, he had learned that when human cultivators entered the Source of Evil Zone, they would see a world where humans were the objects of plunder and enslavement. In this world, demons and monsters reigned supreme, and the mountains and rivers were filled with terrifying beings who dominated the great dao.

The history and civilization of this realm were written by demons and monsters, and all laws and rules of the world were established by them. As for the humans who inhabited this realm, they were treated like prey and livestock.

Some demons saw humans as slaves, subjecting them to their whims and enslavement. Some saw humans as food, devouring their flesh and blood, sucking their marrow and bones, treating them like mere meat to eat.

Some saw humans as potent medicine and used them to refine and enhance their own cultivation. The more powerful the cultivator, the more these demons seemed to favor them, regarding them as ‘human elixirs.’

Some...

In short, humans were the most lowly beings in this zone. In the eyes of the demons and monsters of this world, they were nothing more than livestock, slaves, and potent medicines.

Lin Xun naturally knew that this was a trial imposed on humanity by the Source of Evil Zone. Cultivators from other races who entered the zone would also suffer the same trials imposed on their own race.

Knowing this was one thing, yet upon arriving in this realm and smelling the stench of blood and decay, Lin Xun still felt a surge of disgust. This was a vast, desolate land, yet the void itself was filled with an incredible stench of blood. He could only imagine the sheer amount of slaughter that had taken place in this world.

In this realm, the human race had undoubtedly suffered from the most deaths.

"The most urgent task is to find the Root of All Evil as soon as possible." Lin Xun pondered. To leave this realm, he needed to destroy the Root of All Evil, thus attracting the Chaos Dao Fruit to enter the heavenly gate.

Whoosh!

The next moment, Lin Xun had already taken a step forward. Every cultivator who entered the Source of Evil Zone encountered something different. Even among humans; the dangers they faced varied. Therefore, in this sky zone, there was no need to worry about being attacked by other cultivators.

Hmm?

After traveling for a short while, Lin Xun suddenly stopped in mid-air. In his spirit sense, he saw a distant mountain range emanating a malevolent aura that soared into the sky, dyeing the clouds a deep black. A thick, pungent stench of blood, like a volcanic eruption, emanated from the mountains, transforming into crimson streams. Lin Xun hesitated for a moment, then stepped closer.

There he saw skulls piled high like mountains and forests made entirely of bones. Human hair had been matted into felt. Human flesh was rotting into dust. Human tendons clung to trees, dry and gleaming like silver. It was truly a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and the stench was unbearable.

Hordes of lesser demons were butchering living people; one horrid creature after another was boiling and cooking human flesh. Deep within the mountains, there were cages, imprisoning thousands upon thousands of humans. There were men, women, young and old, and all of them had numb expressions and empty eyes, resembling livestock in a pen.

Atop one of the great mountains stood a magnificent palace, where beautiful female cultivators, transformed into servants, served prepared food and wine. The food consisted of human blood and flesh. Within the palace, a group of demon leaders were feasting and laughing.

Seeing these scenes of demons ruling and killing and eating humans at will, Lin Xun couldn't suppress the surge of anger within him.

Equality for all beings?

For Lin Xun, that was utter nonsense. First and foremost, he was a member of the human race! How could he remain unmoved by these scenes of others treating humans like livestock, allowing them to be slaughtered at will?

"The Source of Evil Zone... truly lives up to its name..." Lin Xun murmured to himself.

From his perspective, everything in this world was utterly sinful. There was no need to discuss why humans were allowed to eat livestock, but livestock were not allowed to eat humans.

Tracing the history of humanity, it was easy to see that in every era and every world, humanity was the weakest race in the primordial beginnings. It was through the countless sacrifices and sacrifices of humanity's ancestors, through relentless effort, that humanity was finally able to stand shoulder to shoulder with all other races, forging a glorious chapter in human history.

Unfortunately, in this sky zone, humanity had been reduced to livestock and medicinal elixirs. Under such circumstances, for a human to still consider morality and the concept of equality for all beings was no different from being the biggest hypocrite in the world.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Lin Xun's eyes narrowed. Deep within the mountains, a small demon had grabbed a wailing little boy, pinned him to a chopping board, and slashed down repeatedly with a bone knife.

The once exquisitely handsome little boy was instantly chopped into pieces by the little monster. As the blood flowed, the monster stretched out its scarlet head and sucked it into its mouth, a look of blissful satisfaction on its face. It exclaimed, "It wasn't for nothing that I raised this little guy for five years! The flesh and blood of this kind of little creature are the most delicious delicacies!"

As it spoke, it deftly sifted through the pieces of human flesh on the chopping board, muttering, "The internal organs can be used to make soup, the arms can be roasted, and this little head can be made into a fine dish..."

In a nearby cage, a young human couple lay paralyzed on the ground, weeping hysterically. The chopped-up pieces of flesh had belonged to their child. The others in the cage remained numb, indifferent to the scene.

Like livestock raised for years, they had long since become accustomed to this reality of being slaughtered at will. Unfortunately, fate had decreed them to become humans who were born into misfortune!
