The Prodigies War

From the moment Lin Xun entered the Immortal Pavilion to the moment he annihilated Zhu Cheng and the other six Heavenly Mandate Apostles, less than a quarter of an hour had passed! His speed was incredible; he swept through the secret realm with overwhelming force, encountering no worthy adversaries.

At this moment, his gaze swept across his surroundings, and he suddenly called out, "Where is Shui Cangliu, the leader of the Immortal Pavilion?"

His voice boomed throughout the secret realm.

"Senior, please forgive us! Our Immortal Pavilion has absolutely no intention of being your enemy!" A trembling voice rang out, and even faster than the voice was its owner, an old man with white hair and beard. He stood in mid-air, bowing deeply, his face filled with trepidation. This man was Shui Cangliu, the Immortal Pavilion's leader, and an Immortal at the Nirvana Spirit Realm.

"Your Immortal Pavilion possesses the Dao Divine Stele, making you all the most likely target for Derivers of the Dao. I won't dwell on that." Lin Xun glanced at the man and said, "However, I have a task for you."

Shui Cangliu quickly replied, "Please instruct me, Senior."

Lin Xun immediately explained what he wanted to arrange for the Tianwu Sect. Shui Cangliu breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought it would be some unreasonable request, but it turned out to be merely allowing some cultivators in.

"Senior, leave it to me." Shui Cangliu agreed without hesitation.

"After I leave this zone, Qing Feng will also remain in the Immortal Pavilion. With him in charge, the Immortal Pavilion's prestige should be as glorious as before," Lin Xun said casually.

Shui Cangliu felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that Lin Xun was actually warning him not to harbor any other thoughts; otherwise, Qing Feng's very existence would be enough to threaten the Immortal Pavilion!

"Hmm?"

Lin Xun was about to say something when he suddenly raised an eyebrow, and in the next instant, his figure vanished into thin air.

...

Whoosh!

A beautiful woman darted towards the entrance of the Immortal Pavilion. She wore a snow-white dress, had fair skin, and an exquisitely beautiful face; it was none other than Tian Ruojing. However, at this moment, her expression was full of terror. Her pretty face was deathly pale, showing extreme panic.

Seeing the entrance of the Immortal Pavilion appear in the distance, Tian Ruojing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. That guy is only focused on killing his enemies; he probably has already forgotten about me, a nobody, right? That’s all for the better!

Just as Tian Ruojing thought this, her expression suddenly changed drastically, and her figure froze in mid-air. Right at the entrance of the Immortal Pavilion, a person stood in mid-air; it was Qing Feng, or rather, Lin Xun.

Tian Ruojing's heart sank. After a long, stunned silence, she suddenly said bitterly, "You are a Dao Deriver, a supreme being, yet you keep making things difficult for someone as insignificant as me. Should I feel honored, or should I feel sorrow?"

Lin Xun looked at the woman Qing Feng had been obsessed with for over nine hundred years and remarked, "The one who tied the knot must untie it. I will resolve the karma on Qing Feng's shoulders."

Tian Ruojing said emotionally, "What does his matter have to do with you, Senior? Or does Senior also think I need to apologize and repent for what happened back then? That’s impossible!"

She seemed to have gone mad as her beautiful face contorted. "I never regretted what I did back then! Why should I marry him just because he saved my life? Why should I be the one responsible for his injured dao foundation?"

Lin Xun's gaze turned cold. "You promised that you'd marry him, but you went back on your vow. Of course, you can break your own promise, and you can disregard Qing Feng's injuries, but you shouldn't forget the person who had once saved your life! Can you really ignore that kind of debt?"

Tian Ruojing's beautiful face shifted, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "I didn't ask him to save me back then; he offered to save me himself. What does that have to do with me?"

Lin Xun raised an eyebrow. Even he hadn't expected Tian Ruojing to utter something that shameless! Even so, this very woman had caused Qing Feng to be infatuated with her for over nine hundred years. He truly believed that Qing Feng had gotten the short end of the stick in this scenario.

"Senior." Tian Ruojing took a deep breath and said, "If you want to see me kneel and beg for mercy, then you're sorely mistaken. I'd rather die than bow down to a piece of trash like Qing Feng!"

Lin Xun said, "You're wrong about one thing. After I leave, Qing Feng will possess the cultivation of a perfect Transcendence Realm cultivator and a complete and supreme path at that. Limited by the power of the laws of this world, he can never leave this Dao Derivation Zone in this lifetime, but he can always stand at the pinnacle of the world. And you...are ultimately just a supreme Emperor Ancestor."

His words were like a merciless blade piercing Tian Ruojing's heart, making her breath catch in her throat, her body tremble, and her face shift repeatedly. A piece of trash she had hated and rejected for nine hundred years would soon become a supreme being she could only look up to. Such a blow made her feel like she was about to collapse.

“Even so, I won’t bow my head! I’ll only hate him more!” Tian Ruojing hissed, her eyes bloodshot.

Just then, Lin Xun suddenly smiled. He felt that the deepest obsession in Qing Feng’s heart had completely vanished in that instant. In other words, Qing Feng had shattered his nine hundred years of infatuation, and, in doing so, he himself had found liberation!

“I forgot to tell you something. In your heart, Qing Feng is a karmic obstacle, and in Qing Feng’s heart, you are his heart demon.” Lin Xun said softly, “And now, his heart demon has been removed.”

Tian Ruojing was stunned, then collapsed to the ground as if struck by lightning, her eyes glazed over. “So you spent this long chatting with me to help him get rid of his heart demon? But I still don’t understand why you would do this for him?”

She was furious and utterly bewildered.

Lin Xun said, “Helping him is helping myself. If his obsession doesn't dissipate, then I can't truly leave this zone. This is karma, do you understand?”

Tian Ruojing slumped, bitterly saying, “Forgive me, but are you telling me that I had been the karma in this zone that could threaten you?”

Lin Xun said with a hint of surprise, “You are indeed clever. Your guess is correct. If you had realized this earlier, then you might have caused me considerable trouble. But unfortunately, from the very beginning, your sights were too narrow.”

With that, he turned and left. He didn't help Qing Feng kill Tian Ruojing. If his prediction was correct, then Tian Ruojing was destined to live a life of endless regret until her mind could no longer withstand the pressure of that karmic burden and collapsed under it. This punishment was far more cruel than just killing her outright.

“Just because he saved my life...how could it have turned out like this...”

Tian Ruojing slumped to the ground, her eyes empty, her expression blank. That very day, she was ruthlessly expelled by the cultivators of the Immortal Pavilion, left to wander the outside world.

...

With the personal intervention of the Immortal Pavilion's leader, Shui Zangliu, Qing Heng and all the cultivators of the Tianwu Sect were arranged to cultivate within the Immortal Pavilion. From that day forward, they all became members of the Immortal Pavilion, and the Tianwu Sect as they knew it ceased to exist in this world.

For Qing Heng, Fu Yunzi, and the others, it all felt like a dream. Moments before, they were merely an insignificant second-rate force in the eastern frontier. Now, in the blink of an eye, they had all entered the Immortal Pavilion, which was one of the four great dao lineages in the world!

The people of one sect had all risen to the top in one step!

"Martial Granduncle is actually a Dao Deriver..."

For Chun Ning and Dai Yan, all of this seemed even more bizarre. Especially when they thought about how they had treated Lin Xun not long ago. They had shown him little respect, so they couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"You two, come here. These are cultivation manuals gifted to you by Senior Lin Xun. Remember, don't reveal them to anyone else!" Sect Leader Fu Yunzi arrived and handed two jade slips to Chun Ning and Dai Yan.

"For us?" Both were taken aback, then laughed foolishly.

Fu Yunzi couldn't help but feel envious. He already knew about Lin Xun's sweeping victory over the seven Heavenly Mandate Apostles, so how could he not know that cultivation manuals left by him were bound to be extraordinary?

"You two silly brats really got a bargain!" Fu Yunzi muttered to himself. Then, he smiled too. For him, the fact that all cultivators of the Tianwu Sect could enter the Immortal Pavilion to cultivate was already an unimaginable stroke of luck.

"From now on, who will dare say that Martial Uncle Qing Feng is a disgrace to the sect?"

Fu Yunzi couldn't help but think that when the Dao Deriver Lin Xun left, Martial Uncle Qing Feng would essentially gain a cultivation level beyond the Transcendence Realm for free!

Meanwhile, Lin Xun was examining a strange and mysterious divine stele. The object stood in the forbidden area of ​​the Immortal Pavilion and was only three feet tall. Its entire body permeated with the aura of primal chaos origin. The surface of it was blank.

However, when Lin Xun looked at it, he could sense that the divine stele was imprinted with countless paths to the heavens. Each path was complete and powerful, leading directly to the realm of eternity.

Of note, even upon closer inspection, he couldn't discern the mysteries of these paths. Lin Xun wasn't surprised by this. After all, this was the Dao Divine Stele, formed from the primal chaos origin of the Dao Deriver Zone. Only by imprinting a complete path upon it could a Deriver of the Dao attract a Chaos Dao Fruit and leave this place.

After a moment's thought, Lin Xun suddenly transmitted his voice. Shui Cangliu was arranging various matters for the cultivators of the Tianwu Sect in the Immortal Pavilion's secret realm when he suddenly heard Lin Xun's voice transmission.

"If a woman comes looking for me in the future, regardless of her name, status, or appearance, please inform me immediately."

Shui Cangliu trembled and solemnly accepted the order, "Yes!"

From that day on, Lin Xun sat cross-legged before the Dao Divine Stele, meditating quietly, attempting to comprehend the primal chaos origin of the Dao Deriver Zone.

Meanwhile, news of Lin Xun's incursion into the Immortal Pavilion, his sweeping victory over the four great dao lineages’ numerous Transcendence Immortals, and the annihilation of the seven Heavenly Mandate Apostles had already spread throughout the Dao Derivation Zone, causing an unprecedented sensation.

Half a month passed quickly.

One day, beneath the sky, the white auspicious clouds at the entrance of the Immortal Pavilion floated as before. From afar, a man and a woman arrived.

The young boy was thin and frail, reserved and nervous, his eyes darting around warily. He followed closely behind the woman, as if afraid she would abandon him. The woman, however, was only at the Spirit Sea Stage, and her appearance was ordinary.

She looked up at the white auspicious clouds, thought for a moment, and said to the boy beside her, "Wait here."

The boy asked nervously, "Older Sister, where are you going?"

The woman pointed to the white auspicious cloud in the sky. "The Immortal Pavilion."

As soon as she finished speaking, laughter erupted in the surrounding area, followed by many whispers and murmurs. Many cultivators pointed and gossiped about the brother and sister, their expressions full of mockery.

A boy at the True Martial Stage and a woman at only the Spirit Sea Stage dared to dream of entering the Immortal Pavilion?
