The Prodigies War

In midair, a treasure ship was moving with astonishing speed.

On the ship, Guan Xu prepared a feast and invited Lin Xun and the others over for a drink and chat.

“Since ancient times, the Central Plain State has been known as the place where Emperors congregate and where Ancestors live in seclusion. Even someone of my level is nothing special when we get there.”

Guan Xu sighed, “It is an extremely prosperous place. Not only are there countless factions and clans there, but also independent cultivators. Any one of the factions there would be an overlord-like existence in any other states.”

Lin Xun and the others were fascinated as they quietly listened.

The Central Plain State.

This was the heart of the Great Primordial Chaos World and the most prosperous land in the vast starry sky. It was said that the territory of this state was so boundlessly vast that no one knew how far it stretched.

If the other states in the Great Primordial Chaos World were metaphorically compared to lakes of varying sizes, then the Central Plain State was a vast ocean!

“Once the Dao Debate Assembly is over, if you have some free time, why don’t you explore the Central Plain State and take in its prosperous atmosphere and splendor? This will definitely have an invaluable benefit on your future cultivation.”

Guan Xu, like a kind and friendly elder, chatted with Lin Xun and them without any airs.

Lin Xun didn’t know what other people thought of Guan Xu, but at least he had a very high opinion of Guan Xu. He was a broad minded elder with great generosity and aspirations.

“Of course, the purpose of this trip is to attend the Dao Debate Assembly. When we arrive in the Central Plain State, I will bring you to Qingmang Sacred Mountain right away. That is where the revered Mythical Huang Dao Court is.

“By then, all the most remarkable supreme Saint-Kings in the world will gather there and participate in the Dao Debate Assembly just like you all.

“According to the information I received, this grand event will be presided over by the leader of Mythical Huang Dao Court, Elder Taishu Hong!”

When Guan Xu mentioned that name, many people gasped audibly.

Taishu Hong!

He was an exceptionally great figure who had ascended the dao and became an Emperor countless years ago. He was hailed as the Grand Emperor and was renowned throughout the starry sky. His power was feared by the world.

“It can be predicted that when the Dao Debate Assembly kicks off, there will definitely be many Emperor-level guests attending...”

Guan Xu’s eyes gleamed with a hint of anticipation.

The Dao Debate Assembly not only brought together countless remarkable supreme Saint-Kings from all over the world, but also attracted Emperor-level figures. It was indeed an unprecedented grand event!

Boom!

Suddenly, sounds pierced the air in the distance.

Guan Xu immediately stopped talking and walked out of the cabin with Lin Xun and the others, only to be greeted by a Fire Turtle Dragon Beast maneuvering in the distant sky like a floating continent.

On the back of the beast sat a beautiful sacred mountain, on top of which were rows upon rows of buildings of various sizes.

“Hahaha, it’s Fellow Daoist Guan Xu.”

An exceptionally tall and burly man laughed on the Fire Turtle Dragon Beast.

“It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Cang Ya.” Guan Xu smiled and gave a cupped fist salute.

“Well, we have to hurry on our way. I can’t talk right now. I’ll catch up with you over a drink when we get to Qingmang Sacred Mountain.”

“Alright!”

“We will go ahead first.”

The burly figure quickly exchanged a greeting with Guan Xu then urged the Fire Turtle Dragon Beast onwards.

“That’s the leader of Star Battle Sect, Star State’s number one sect. Like me, he is tasked with leading the top ten experts of Star State to the Dao Debate Assembly,” Guan Xu explained.

“Star State? I remember that the number one expert in Star State is Xu Qingjian. She’s as beautiful as a painting and has fair and smooth skin. She’s known as the number one fairy of Star State.”

Someone chuckled, “it’s a shame that we can’t catch a glimpse of her beauty just now.”

Many people laughed.

The Dao Debate Assembly was not only star-studded, but many peerless beauties who were ranked on the Starry Sky Talented Beauty Rankings would also be in attendance!

Two days later.

The treasure ship sailed into the territory of the Central Plain State!

Unfortunately, to quickly reach the destination, Lin Xun and the others were unable to fully appreciate the landscape and scenery of the Central Plain State.

“This is the ‘void channel’ that leads to Qingmang Sacred Mountain. Once we enter, we will reach the Mythical Huang Dao Court in less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick.”

Before the entrance of an ancient city were multiple divine rainbow streaks floating about. Guan Xu pointed to one of those channels.

Void channel!

This was a passageway that bypassed the world’s obstacles, allowing one to directly reach one’s destination.

Only huge colossus such as one of the Great Six Courts and Great Ten Battle Clans had the power to set up such miraculous passageways.

Ancient teleportation arrays required one to constantly change to another teleportation array, which not only consumed a huge amount of dao crystals, but also was rather troublesome.

After all, the Central Plain State was too tremendous. Without void channels, it would have taken days to reach Qingmang Sacred Mountain even if traveling day and night.

“Let’s go.”

Guan Xu brought out a mysterious black and yellow token and shook it gently. One of the divine rainbows in the sky suddenly glowed brilliantly as a door emerged in front of it.

With a swoosh, under the lead of Guan Xu, the treasure ship darted into the channel and disappeared in an instant.

The inside of the void channel was an entirely different world. It was gray and hazy like a world of chaos.

Along this void channel that led to Qingmang Sacred Mountain, Lin Xun and the others saw many figures.

Some were sitting on huge treasure ships, some riding giant beasts, some standing on auspicious clouds, and some controlling magical weapons...

Along the way, Guan Xu kept exchanging greetings with others and introduced them to Lin Xun and the rest. They were all experts from other states in the Great Primordial Chaos World just like them.

They came across cultivators from Spirit State, Qing State, Snow State and others.

“So that guy is Ming Qiyang.”

“There are so many people, and all of them have such a terrifying aura around them...”

“That’s what makes it exciting, right?”

Lu Dubu, Wu Huang, Xie Yuhua, Wang Tu and others were also deeply amazed.

Along the way, they met many dazzling figures from different states and they each had their own style and charm.

From beginning to end, Lin Xun watched quietly, but he was marveling inside.

If he had not participated in the Dao Debate Assembly, how would he know that there were so many brilliant characters in this world?

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud boom resounded throughout the void channel.

An ancient bronze chariot came roaring up from behind, producing thunder-like rumbles.

The bronze chariot was akin to the transport vehicle of the divine brings in the ancient era. It glowed a brilliant color and sprinkled beautiful dao light and cast all sorts of amazing images.

The bronze chariot was pulled by eight ferocious birds. Each of them had wings like drooping clouds and only one leg. Their bodies were covered in terrifying flames and their aura was as powerful as that of a quasi-Emperor!

The mythological beast—Bifang Bird!

There were eight of them!

But they were pulling a chariot like horses...

“Nine Heavens Chariot!"

“Those are the mounts of Ultimate Demon Sword Emperor!”

Everyone’s jaw dropped.

Some of the older generation experts who were leading the way widened their eyes with fear, and without hesitation, bowed their heads and shuffled to one side to let the chariot pass.

Ultimate Demon Sword Emperor!

He was the lord of the Great Dao Ninth Heaven Palace, one of the Three Great Demon Dao Emperors in the starry sky, a terrifying being with unparalleled demonic power.

Although the Great Dao Ninth Heaven Palace was not on par with the Great Six Courts and the Great Ten Battle Clans or other colossi in terms of foundation, the presence of Ultimate Demon Sword Emperor made it such that even the Great Six Courts and Great Ten Battle Clans dared not to treat the Great Dao Ninth Heaven Palace with disrespect.

It was no exaggeration to say that Ultimate Demon Sword Emperor solely held up the entire Great Dao Ninth Heaven Palace!

Who would not be surprised to see the Ultimate Demon Sword Emperor’s mounts appear? Who would dare to be disrespectful?

Suddenly, the crowd parted and opened up a very wide path. The atmosphere turned still and quiet.

Everyone bowed their heads at this moment, including Guan Xu. He sent voice transmissions to Lin Xun and the others to inform them of Ultimate Demon Sword Emperor’s identity.

“How impressive!” Lin Xun was also shocked.

Only a chariot appeared, and it was not possible to confirm whether Ultimate Demon Sword Emperor was in it, yet it was enough to make countless cultivators bow their heads like a sovereign had arrived.

What kind of terrifying existence was the Ultimate Demon Sword Emperor?

Huh?

Suddenly, a strange look flashed across Lin Xun’s eyes. A token that he had put aside for many years and almost forgotten was glowing a green hue.

……

The curtains of the Nine Heavens Chariot were drawn and it was extremely spacious inside like a grand palace hall!

A beautiful and pure-looking maiden in white with eyes as bright as gemstones was resting her face on her hands, lost in thought.

The table in front of her was covered with plates of rare fruits, delicacies, and pastries from all over the starry sky. Any one of them was highly precious and valuable and would make some old monsters drool.

But they were just snacks for the girl in white!

Though it seemed like she had no interest in these snacks at all...

On the main seat, a middle-aged man in green said helplessly, “Xiaochong, what’s the matter? Are you still thinking about that kid called Lin Xun?”

He was slim, had sparse brows, and his hair was frosty white at the temples. He sat there casually, giving a feeling of wildness and unruliness.

As he spoke, he put the yellow-skinned gourd from his waist to his lips and took a sip of wine, feeling rather complicated.

After all these years, what Xiaochong cares about most is still the boy from the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

Over the past few years, he had collected rare treasures from all over the world in order to please his daughter and he did everything he could for her.

He would agree to all of his daughter’s requests without hesitation!

However, to his disappointment, his daughter was still obsessed with the boy called Lin Xun!

As a father, he was very jealous.

“Father, do you think Big Brother Lin Xun will be participating in the Dao Debate Assembly?” asked the girl in white.

The man in green rubbed his temples. “It’s hard to say. Back then, I said I would bring him to train in the Ancient Nebula Road, but he flatly declined. I reckon he is still in the Ancient Wasteland Domain...” he stopped abruptly.

Because he noticed that the girl’s clear big eyes were welling up with tears.

The man in green panicked. Ever since he started cultivating, he was always unrestrained and carefree, fearing nothing and taking nothing seriously.

But now, he was always worried that his daughter would be unhappy!
