The Prodigies War-Novel

Chapter 1341 Heavenly Garment

The black-clothed youth's voice abruptly cut off in fear. He was scared silly by the scene of his attendant’s life being taken away right under his eyes.

Even in death, the attendant’s eyes were still wide open in shock as if he never imagined he would ultimately be the first to die.

Was this the so-called being punished for another’s crime?

The silver-haired man icily declared, "An attendant who doesn’t dissuade his master from practicing evil but instead aids him deserves death."

However, the Supreme King experts nearby could tell that although the silver-haired man had a way with words, in reality, he was trying to use the life of an attendant to save the black-clothed youth.

Lin Xun could naturally tell as well, but merely continued to watch on without saying a word.

His attitude showed his stance on the matter.

The silver-haired man felt agonized as he realized that the life of an attendant wasn’t enough to satisfy Demon God Lin.

With a deep breath, the silver-haired man’s eyes hardened as he looked at the black-clothed youth.

It was at this moment that Caicai gathered her courage and asked in a small voice, "Young Master Lin, can...you tell him not to kill anymore?"

The silver-haired man immediately revealed a look of gratitude toward Caicai.

He knew that only the person at the root of it all could resolve this affair.

Whether the black-clothed youth lived depended on whether the girl could change Lin Xun’s mind!

"Caicai, do you know what would have happened to you if I hadn't come in time?"

Lin Xun’s expression was gentle as he gazed at the young lady before him.

"I know."

Caicai nodded before she attempted to explain with some difficulty, "But I don't want Young Master to offend them because of me. It isn’t worth it over such a small matter."

The crowd was dumbfounded. Would the mighty Demon God Lin be afraid of offending anyone?

Ridiculous!

However, this also made the girl’s intentions appear even more precious.

"Fine, I’ll listen to you."

Lin Xun also smiled. Caicai was still the same kind and simple girl that she was from nine years ago. She had a heart of gold and was akin to a ray of sunshine that could give others the simplest warmth.

Caicai cautiously asked, ''Uh, Young Master, you won't blame me for being nosy, right?"

"Like you said, it's just a small matter so don’t sweat it. It’s fine as long as you believe it is correct, so do your best to maintain such a mindset."

Lin Xun chuckled.

On the ground, the black-clothed youth was overwhelmed with emotion as he blabbered, "Many thanks, Lord Lin!"

"Idiot, you should be thanking the Young Miss. If not for her, I would have loved to split you in half!"

The silver-haired man kicked the black-clothed youth, frustrated by his incompetence.

......

That was how this small matter came to its conclusion.

The fortunate black-clothed youth was taken away by the silver-haired man.

The other Supreme King experts also dispersed one after another.

The most absurd part of the entire affair was that Lin Xun had no idea who the black-clothed youth was nor was he acquainted with the silver-haired man.

Even their names were unknown to him.

However, when Lin Xun appeared, the matter was resolved in the smoothest way possible without him lifting a single finger.

This was the power of reputation that could make others submit without fighting!

......

"Caicai, why haven’t you reached the King stage after so many years?"

Lin Xun was rather puzzled.

He and the others were taking a break on a mountain outside Burning Immortal City.

In approximately three days, the power of the City of Enlightenment would appear in the Supreme Realm.

At that time, the cultivators spread out across the Three Thousand Worlds could use it to return to the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

Caicai embarrassingly explained, "When I started cultivating, my father told me that cultivation is to do what I like the most. Since I only like picking Fire Cloud Dew that's what I kept doing..."

Lin Xun exclaimed in admiration, "That’s good."

Cultivation stemmed from the heart, and every cultivator sought something different. There were people who sought the ultimate sword such as Yun Qingbai.

There were people who sought the Saint stage through physical cultivation such as A’lu.

There were people who wished to see everything in the world and unravel the true meaning of the dao such as Toady.

There were also those who sought fame, fortune, techniques, daos, immortality, freedom...

All in all, it varied from individual to individual.

What Caicai sought was what she liked.

She viewed cultivation as her heart’s desire. Since she loved picking Fire Cloud Dew, she used it as a medium for her cultivation.

Although her cultivation hadn’t grown much, it was still cultivation.

Lin Xun asked, "Do you have a goal?"

"Yes!"

Caicai's star-like eyes seemed to brighten all of a sudden as anticipation filled her face.

She earnestly said, "I hope to one day pick all of the Cloud Dew in the sky and refine them into the most beautiful threads in the world. Then, I will personally weave them into a garment to serve as my wedding dress.

"I want to pick ten thousand different kinds of Cloud Dews and brew them into alcohol that can be served as my wedding wine when I get married. I will invite all of my friends to the wedding banquet to savor it with me!"

An indescribable radiance seemed to shine from her as she described her dream in a clear voice that resembled the sounds of nature.

The young lady seemed to shine brighter than ever as she stood amidst the clouds at the mountain peak with her hands behind her back.

Lin Xun was stunned for quite some time before he sincerely exclaimed, "That’s the most beautiful goal I've ever heard."

Caicai immediately blushed as she snapped back to reality. She lowered her head and said, "I’ve shown you my silly side."

Toady chuckled and said, "Heh heh, Miss Caicai, there's a very critical issue you need to resolve first if you wish to achieve your goal."

"What issue?" Caicai was baffled.

Toady cheekily grinned and said, "You have to find a husband. Without a husband, what's the point of having a wedding dress or a wedding?"

Caicai's face immediately reddened like a burning sunset.

A’lu couldn't help but chuckle as well. Caicai was indeed a very likable girl. Her bright and pure character paired with her kind nature felt as beautiful as the spring breeze.

That night.

Toady suddenly transmitted to Lin Xun, "Big Brother, if you wish to return to the lower plane in the future, you’ll need the help of Miss Caicai."

Lin Xun asked, "What do you mean?"

"The Cloud Weaver Clan is not as simple as people might think. Their ancestor was a remarkable legend who specialized in an extremely mystical secret art that can use the Laws of the world as threads to weave a true Heavenly Garment!"

Toady said in a mysterious voice, "The Heavenly Garment is a supreme treasure that even Great Emperors desire. By weaving different Laws into the Heavenly Garment, various magical properties can be bestowed unto it.

"There’s the ability to circumvent heavenly tribulations, the ability to ignore certain Law bindings, the ability to travel to mysterious regions beyond the void, the ability to transform into a treasure comparable to an Emperor-grade weapon...

"Due to how rare the Cloud Weaver Clan experts are, very few people know about their origins and legends.

"If not for the memories I awakened from my bloodline, it would have been impossible for me to know these secrets.

"Most importantly, if we wish to return to the lower plane, we will inevitably need to enter the spatial tunnels between the planes. This is where Cloud Weaver Clan’s specialization comes in: spatial travel!

"If we manage to enlist their help, it will be a lot smoother for us to return to the lower plane."

Lin Xun finally understood Caicai’s importance.

He had also mulled over how he would return to the lower plane before.

His first trip to the Ancient Wasteland Domain from the lower plane had been through a spatial tunnel that had been opened by the power of the empire’s five-colored Saint array.

However, that method wasn’t possible at the moment.

According to Zhao Jingxuan, in the past, there existed more than one path from the Ancient Wasteland Domain to the lower plane.

Such paths could be found in several ancient orthodoxies such as Spirit Treasure Holy Land and Heaven Axis Holy Land.

Several years ago, however, astonishing changes had occurred in the Ancient Wasteland Domain before the arrival of the great age.

Nearly all of the spatial passages that led to the lower plane had collapsed and disintegrated due to these changes! ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

Even Zhao Jingxuan was helpless in regards to this and could only try to observe and adapt one step at a time.

As such, the first problem Lin Xun needed to solve was finding a path to the lower plane.

That was why Toady’s suggestion struck such a strong chord with Lin Xun.

The Cloud Weaver Clan!

Would anyone have imagined that Caicai was from such a mysterious clan?

The mysterious Heavenly Garment also made Lin Xun suddenly recall the rune armament production method. Although they were different, there were some similarities between them.

Moreover, despite how vast and expansive the Ancient Wasteland Domain was, Lin Xun had strangely never seen anyone with a rune armament.

In the lower plane, rune armaments were something that every rune master in the empire knew about.

Lin Xun speculated that there must be some secret reason to explain this.

Likewise, if Toady hadn't mentioned the Heavenly Garment, Lin Xun wouldn't have known that such a magical treasure existed.

"Forget it, if we really can’t come up with anything else, we can seek Caicai's help as a last resort."

Lin Xun pondered for a long time before making his decision.

He didn't want to trouble Caicai. Although she would probably be happy to help him, would her clan feel the same?

That might not be the case.

Moreover, Lin Xun still had some affairs to settle. Hence, he didn’t plan on immediately returning to the lower plane after returning to the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

Lin Xun instructed, "Toady, you and A’lu should prepare yourselves. There will probably be trouble when we leave the Supreme Realm."

"Trouble?"

Toady was stunned as he suddenly recalled the predicament they had fallen into after departing from the Return Dominion.

Would something similar happen again after leaving the Supreme Realm?

"Since I've killed so many supreme heaven prides, do you think their factions will let me off after finding out?"

Lin Xun's black eyes turned deep as the night as he indifferently said, "In the past, we could only react to whatever was thrown at us and had no control over whether we lived or died. This time, however, I don't intend to be passive!"

Toady nodded and said, "The Golden Crow Lineage’s Sunset Current Valley is near the location we left from. If those old monsters of the Golden Crow lineage find out that their little crows were killed by us, they will definitely storm out with a vengeance."

"Yeah, I predict that there will probably be Saint experts and that there will be more than a few of them..."

Lin Xun's eyes flashed.

On the other hand, his heart remained calm.

After ten years in the Supreme Realm, he now possessed sufficient means to face such forces!
