The Prodigies War

“No!”

The old woman flatly refused. Are you kidding me? How can a young master of the Xuan Clan be someone’s cultivating attendant?

If word spreads, all gods and Buddhas will laugh themselves to death!

The hemp-clothed youth sighed with an embittered look in his eyes. This won’t work, that won’t work. It seems like I have to depend on myself to complete the path of conquering my own heart.

Thinking of this, he felt envious of Lin Xun.

Look at him…he has such a fierce and powerful senior brother, but he still seeks his own path. He is free to do whatever he wants and no one can control him.

But look at me…

The hemp-clothed youth sighed.

He also knew that this was because he had the surname ‘Xuan’!

……

The news that Jintian Xuanyue successfully became Yu Xuan’s attendant at the behest of Sword Emperor Brave Gale was not covered up at all and caused a huge sensation.

Everyone sighed emotionally upon hearing the news.

They had already dropped their jaws when they first heard that Jintian Xuanyue had decided to follow Yu Xuan as an attendant.

However, Yu Xuan’s refusal was even more shocking.

Who would have thought that, after all the twists and turns, Jintian Xuanyue still became Yu Xuan’s attendant?!

“Yu Xuan is really very arrogant. If Elder Sword Emperor Brave Gale hadn’t stepped forward to help him deal with the powerful Imperial Kong Clan members, I bet he wouldn’t have agreed to it.”

“Argh, Fairy Xuanyue has such a noble status, why...why does she have to lower herself like that?!”

Many people couldn’t accept the news.

While the outside world was clamoring, Lin Xun was studying the All-Inclusive Plant Index.

This precious scripture compiled by his eleventh senior brother Pu Zhen contained profound knowledge and mysterious wonders unknown to the world. The more Lin Xun studied it, the more he benefited massively.

Although the contents were all related to aeth articles across the worlds, all articles in the world were born containing the dao. A falling leaf was the herald of autumn. The studying of the scripture was akin to understanding the wonderful great dao imbued in all things in the world.

“A falling leaf is an indication of autumn; the great dao can take the simplest form, hidden among all things, all matters and all phenomena in the world. The great dao path that Senior Brother Pu Zhen achieved enlightenment through is indeed magnificent.” Lin Xun marveled.

A sweet and pleasant voice sounded in his ear, “Master, have some tea.”

Jintian Xuanyue stood in front of him with a tea cup in her hand. She was dressed in plain white clothes and her silky black hair was rolled up in a bun, highlighting her exquisitely beautiful face.

She was tall and slim with a perfect figure and soft, creamy skin. In particular, her bright and clear eyes were as beautiful as the stars in the sky. Her beauty was comparable to that of a goddess from the nine heavens.

This was also the reason why Jintian Xuanyue was called a ‘fairy.’

The entire Ancient Nebula Road praised her unparalleled beauty and grace, and she was hailed as one of the most stunning women.

But now, she was cooking and serving tea like a maid, and even addressed Lin Xun as ‘master’!

If those who admired and worshiped Jintian Xuanyue saw this, they likely would be heartbroken and have a mental breakdown.

Lin Xun rubbed his temples and said, “Miss Xuanyue, you and I are not master and servant, so don’t do this again.”

Jintian Xuanyue pursed her lips and lowered her head. “Since I am a cultivator attendant I should act like one.”

Lin Xun suddenly felt a headache coming on. Once we arrive in the Great Primordial Chaos World, if those guys who admire Jintian Xuanyue see this, they will try to kill me at all costs!

“What does it mean to be a cultivator attendant? Follow one’s side like cultivating the dao. Elder Sword Emperor Brave Gale has said that if you choose to follow me, you have to obey my arrangements. From today on, you must not call me your master again,” Lin Xun instructed.

Jintian Xuanyue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She was so cautious before because she was not sure about Lin Xun’s true stance.

Now that Lin Xun had instructed her directly, of course, she would not refuse to listen.

“Have some tea.”

Jintian Xuanyue’s cold voice was much softer. She held up the porcelain teacup with her slender and fair hands and passed it to Lin Xun.

Although Lin Xun was still slightly uncomfortable, he still took it and took a sip. His eyes immediately lit up, “What good tea!”

The corners of Jintian Xuanyue’s lips curled upwards in a proud smile. “This is a top quality tea of our Jintian Clan. It’s called the Nine Stars Jade Bud and it is brewed with melted untouched snow to bring out its nine unique and distinct tastes and aroma, including refreshing, light, sweet and floral. Only around two pounds of this top-quality tea leaves is harvested every one thousand years. You can’t find this in the outside world.”

This was the foundation of an ancient imperial clan. They were very particular to even the harvest, preparation, and drinking of tea. Ordinary cultivators would not understand.

Lin Xun just smiled and said nothing.

He remembered that this amazing tea was also recorded in the All-Inclusive Plant Index; it was indeed a rare treasure in the world.

Similarly, according to the notes of eleventh senior brother Pu Zhen, there were tea leaves that were even rarer than it. For example, the tea leaves from the Great Dao Tea Tree.

This tree was born from chaos, and every three thousand years it would produce a magical tea leaf imbued with a complete grand dao.

If consumed, a cultivator would immediately comprehend and control the complete secret of a grand dao. It was no doubt a wonderful treasure.

“Miss Xuanyue, have you ever been to the Great Primordial Chaos World?” asked Lin Xun in between sips.

Jintian Xuanyue nodded. “A few years ago, I was a guest of the Imperial Jiang Clan in the Great Primordial Chaos World.”

The Imperial Jiang Clan!

Lin Xun was taken aback as a name popped up in his mind─Jiang Xingque!

Back then, Senior Brother Ghost King Xuan Kong had asked him to take a hairpin to the Imperial Jiang Clan and hand it to Jiang Xingque!

“Can you tell me more about the Imperial Jiang Clan?”

Lin Xun’s expression was a little strange.

Although Jintian Xuanyue found it suspicious, she still told him everything she knew.

The Imperial Jiang Clan, the ancient imperial clan that Emperor Yan belonged to!

Emperor Bai and Emperor Yan were both one of the Five Directions Great Emperors in the ancient era, so their relationship was naturally pretty good.

The descendants of Emperor Yan had the surname Jiang and called themselves descendants of Emperor Yan. The clan was entrenched on the banks of Jiangshui in the Great Primordial Chaos World.

Jiangshui was regarded as one of the eight major water systems of the Great Primordial Chaos World and thus was a blessed land.

“Our Jintian Clan are old friends with the Jiang Clan, and the descendants of the two clans often visit one another. However, in terms of power, the Jiang Clan is no longer what it used to be. I heard that during the Dao War of Emperors in the ancient era, the Jiang Clan suffered a great tribulation which led to the loss of several Emperors and caused significant damage to the clan.”

Lin Xun was surprised to hear this. The Imperial Jiang Clan participated in the Dao War of Emperors?

Lin Xun couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Xuanyue, do you know of Jiang Xingque?”

Jintian Xuanyue scrunched her brows and said hesitantly, “I heard that Jiang Xingque is a sinner of the Jiang Clan. I don’t know what grave crime she committed, but she was locked up a long time ago. Now...I don’t know if she’s still alive.”

“A sinner?” Lin Xun’s heart throbbed.

How would Jiang Xingque, whom Senior Brother Xuan Kong was acquainted with, be a sinner of her own clan?

Lin Xun immediately realized that if he went to the Imperial Jiang Clan to look for Jiang Xingque, it would probably not go well...

“If you want to know more about Jiang Xingque, I can go and ask my ancestor for you.”

Lin Xun thought about it, but he shook his head in the end.

His senior brother Xuan Kong was a successor of Fangcun Mountain just like him. The fact that Jiang Xingque was regarded as a sinner of her clan might be related to him.

If such a private matter was brought to the attention of an Emperor, what sort of associative connection would the other party make out of it?

“Miss Xuanyue, do you know Jiang Heng?” Lin Xun asked.

The question took Jintian Xuanyue by surprise. “I know her. She’s a descendant of the Imperial Jiang Clan. I heard that she’s very talented and she was accepted into the Xuanji Dao Sect many years ago.”

Lin Xun nodded to himself. Indeed.

After mulling over it, Lin Xun finally came to a decision. Once he reached the Great Primordial Chaos World, he would first visit Xuanji Dao Sect.

Xuanji Dao Sect, the sect of Ji Qian and Jiang Heng.

According to his thirteenth senior brother Li Xuanwei, the founding ancestor of the Xuanji Dao Sect, Bo Yazi, was his nominal disciple...

This was the real purpose of Lin Xun making a trip to Xuanji Dao Sect!

In the distance, as Liu Qingyan watched Lin Xun talk to Jintian Xuanyue, her limpid eyes had a dazed look.

We will arrive at the Great Primordial Chaos World soon...

He…

Is he him?

……

Over a month later.

Whirlwind Ship entered the Central Star Field.

This was the center of the Ancient Nebula Road, the core of the cosmos, and the sacred land of cultivation that countless cultivators longed to train in.

This was because the Great Primordial Chaos World was located in the Central Star Field!

Many cultivators on the ship were buzzing with excitement when the ship first entered the Central Star Field. It was the first time for most of them to travel across the starry sky and come to the legendary Central Star Field.

The Central Star Field was vast, with many worlds distributed throughout it.

The most well-known world of them was unquestionably the Great Primordial Chaos World.

A great world that could be described as heavenly, beautiful, prosperous, steeped in history, and boundlessly vast. It was ruled simultaneously by the Great Six Courts.

There were also the Great Ten Battle Clans commanding the world.

Countless clans, sects, and tribes were found throughout the world, and every one of them had a jaw-droppingly long-standing history.

Here, the number of King Stage experts, Longevity Stage experts, True Saints, Big Saints, Saint-Kings were in the millions and could be found everywhere.

Even quasi-Emperors were not uncommon!

It was no exaggeration to say that even Emperors would curb their arrogance and imposing manner when they came to the Great Primordial Chaos World.

After all, there was no lack of Emperors in the Great Primordial Chaos World.

Since ancient times, countless mighty authority figures and legendary characters had emerged from the Great Primordial Chaos World, becoming known far and wide and shining in the starry sky!

Half a month after the Whirlwind Ship arrived in the Central Star Field.

The outline of a huge world loomed in the distance.

It was like a mass of primal chaos–so tremendous that it seemed to have no end. Rivers of stars hung around and orbited it like magnificent waterfalls, dispersing gorgeous and splendid colors of light

Billowing chaos qi filled the air, like a mysterious veil draped over it.

In comparison, the stars looked small and inconspicuous.

From a distance, it felt as if the vast starry sky had been enveloped by this vast world. It was a spectacular sight.

This was the Great Primordial Chaos World!
