The Prodigies War-Novel

Lin Xun and Ruowu were not even friends, nor did they have any ties, but like him, she had resolutely decided to go to his aid after hearing about his distress.

How could Lin Xun not be moved?

After ssilence, Lin Xun said, “Just recuperate without worry. At least here, no one can hurt you.”

Inwardly, he had made a decision.

Ruowu nodded and began meditating without delay.

Her injury was so severe that her dao foundation had suffered damage, and even she didn’t know whether it could be completely repaired.

However, she did not regret her decision.

In Ruowu’s opinion, it would be impossible for the Ancient Wasteland Domain to survive without Lin Xun in the competition for dominance in the Nine Domains Battlefield!

No one knew better than her how powerful he could be once he beca suprSaint.

During those ten years in the SuprRealm, even someone as dazzling as Imperial Son Shaohao hadn’t been able to overshadow Lin Xun’s sharpness!

And before the opening of the Nine Domains Battlefield, Lin Xun had defeated a group of other-domain envoys all by himself. This feat had crowned him the number one suprexpert of the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

At that time, both Shaohao and Ruowu had had to express their admiration.

It was only later on when they had broken into the suprSaint stage one after another that they had managed to escape Lin Xun’s oppressive shadow and gotten one step ahead of him in their quest for the dao, winning countless sighs of marvels and worship from the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

But in spite of the fact that Lin Xun couldn’t enter the suprSaint stage before them, Ruowu knew clearly that once he did, it would be difficult for them to compete with his glory!

Therefore, after learning that Lin Xun was trapped in the Spirit Refinement Forest, she had been the first to expose her tracks and use herself as bait to attract the opposing suprSaints in the Blood Demon Territory.

The purpose had been to shift sof the danger away from Lin Xun.

As a matter of fact, her action had helped him resolve a difficult situation.

Le Xuexiu had originally planned to enter the Spirit Refinement Forest and pick up Le Mujin, but halfway through, Ruowu’s news had interfered with his plan and caused him to leave for the Ice Wind Valley.

As a result, Lin Xun had avoided the possibility of being attacked by a suprSaint.

“Fortunately, he’s safe…” Ruowu completely relaxed. Casting out all thoughts from her mind, she fell into deep meditation.

Her glistening white skin was stained with blood and bruises. Her fiery red robe was tattered, and her stunning face was deathly pale. She looked unusually haggard and miserable.

Seeing her in this state, Lin Xun becmore and more emotional.

If it wasn’t for the sake of helping him, then how could she have possibly suffered under a relentless siege of seven suprSaints with her current strength?

Little Silver was worried. “Master, it’s very likely that her dao foundation has been damaged.”

Lin Xun took a deep breath and said, “Don’t worry. I will help her recover completely no matter what it will cost.”

……

For the next few days, Ruowu stayed in the underground palace secret realm.

The outside world was going through changes, but it didn’t affect them at all.

In the pond filled with chaos qi, the Sky Splitting Demonic Butterfly was still absorbing the power of the Void Holy Beast. Its delicate and gorgeous body shimmered with a holy luster.

Little Silver was also cultivating with all his might.

He had realized that the underground palace was an incomparably safe secret realm, but once their group had to leave, they were destined to face an unimaginably fatal ordeal.

This was because Le Xuexiu’s group of seven suprSaints had blocked off the area around the great abyss.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun was comprehending the mysteries of Sainthood imprinted in the Saint’s Guide.

Every suprcharacter had to face a different tribulation upon breaking through to the suprSaint stage, which had to do with the different dao paths they pursued.

However, Lin Xun found one thing in common. In the primeval era, every expert, upon becoming a suprSaint, would declare a noble aspiration on which they would build their Sainthood.

For instance, the noble aspiration of the golden cicada youth was ‘May all beings in the world becSaints one day!’

In the case of Sword Emperor Taixuan, his noble aspiration was to becthe heart of heaven and earth and live for all living things!

For Battle Emperor Mo Yang, it was ‘stopping weapons with killing.’

These aspirations had a great spirit embedded in them.

Though in Lin Xun’s opinion, no matter what noble aspiration was established, it was merely a goal on the path of realizing one’s dao.

This goal was different from cultivator to cultivator but did not have a ranking, and grander did not mean better.

The key lay in whether it cfrom the bottom of one’s heart!

If it contradicted the true nature of the cultivator, then this aspiration would be nothing but an illusion. By building one’s Sainthood on it, the cultivator would conflict with their own nature and would never be able to obtain any great achievements.

On the other hand, a seemingly small Sainthood aspiration that cfrom one’s heart would allow their future cultivation journey to be smooth sailing.

The Saint’s Guide recorded an Emperor named Long Hao recorded whose noble aspiration of Sainthood was:

“When I beca Saint, I wish for immortality so that I can bless my clan with safety and peace!”

Such a mighty Emperor's existence had only wished to shield his clan from worry and dangers.

Other people might laugh and mock him if they heard this.

Yet, such a small aspiration had accompanied Long Hao to Sainthood and forged his path to the Emperor stage!

“When I beca Saint…” whispered Lin Xun, his eyes deep as he fell into a pondering trance.

In his young age, all he had wanted was to find out about his own background.

And after learning of his identity, he had only wanted to know where his parents had gone or who had harmed them.

Also Mister Lu, where was he now?

And there were still many things Lin Xun needed to do, such as opening the Omega Door, such as ferreting out the culprit who had manipulated Yun Qingbai – quasi-Emperor Baqi!

But all of this seemed to be related to himself. An aspiration that truly cfrom his heart…

After a long daze, Lin Xun sighed, “Yun Qingbai said that he didn’t even have a choice from the beginning. Now that I think about it, aren’t I the same?”

From the beginning, he had been burdened with many things: his clan’s blood feud, the mystery of his birth… There were too many ties and karma that prompted him to work hard to move forward without daring to slacken a little.

Now that Lin Xun thought about it, he realized that what he truly wanted to do never seemed to have anything to do with these.

Lin Xun was lost in thought once more.

He sat cross-legged in silence, motionless like a statue as tpassed.

“Hmm?” Little Silver only noticed two days later that there was something off with Lin Xun’s state. He clearly was not in meditation as his aura was as quiet as a stone’s.

“Don’t disturb him.” Ruowu, sitting sdistance away, suddenly opened her eyes. A strange light flashed in her eyes as she said, “He’s contemplating an important question that concerns his future path and destiny.”

Little Silver’s face changed. “Related to the noble aspiration of Sainthood?”

Ruowu nodded. “The noble aspiration of Sainthood is abstruse and mysterious. Perhaps it doesn’t determine the strength of a cultivator, but it will affect their future cultivation path.”

Little Silver’s eyes shone. “Looks like Master isn’t far from breaking through…”

Ruowu smiled. “And here I was, prepared to risk my life to bring him to the Absolute Hell Secret Realm for a chance to beca suprSaint. From what we’ve seen today, it appears that the dao he seeks no longer has anything to do with those opportunistic fortunes.”

Little Silver proudly said, “The path my master seeks is different from others, from the world, or anything that has already existed!”

Ruowu was dazed for a rare moment. Then, she looked at the immovable Lin Xun and pondered, “Perhaps this is precisely the reason why he is unparalleled in the Ancient Wasteland Domain?”

Then, she suddenly changed the topic, “By the way, do you know that there are many opportunistic fortunes in this secret realm?”

“Indeed there are,” said Little Silver, who then realized something and asked, “Did you obtain something too?”

Ruowu’s eyes twinkled, and she nodded with a smile. “I was severely injured and suffered damage on my Saint dao foundation, but during meditation, I went through an incredible test that ended up repairing all of my dao injuries perfectly!”

Little Silver’s eyes lit up. “Which building?”

“The Origin Suppressor House.” Ruowu pointed to a distant building and said with awe, “This secret realm truly isn’t simple. If your master successfully figures out his Sainthood aspiration this time, he’ll then most likely break through to the Saint stage on the spot!”

Little Silver grinned. “That’s for sure!”

As long as it was a compliment to Lin Xun, Little Silver would happily listen.

Ruowu couldn’t help a smile either. She was a little jealous of Lin Xun for having a God Devourer Insect King who trusted and followed him unconditionally like this.

A series of dull noises suddenly resounded outside the underground palace secret realm.

Little Silver’s gaze froze, and he gritted his teeth. “It must be those Blood Demon Ancient Domain bastards!”

“Let’s not disturb Lin Xun. I’ll accompany you to take a look. Ruowu stood up.

Since she had completely recovered, her skin was clear and glistening with holy dao light. Her delicate figure was glowing, and when she raised her chin, she exuded a proud aura of someone who looked down at the world from high above.

This was the charisma of a suprSaint!

Even ordinary True Saints could only bow their heads in front of her!

“Alright.” Little Silver quickly left the secret realm with Ruowu.

Looking up, the two saw one corpse after another being thrown down the abyss of both suprexperts and ordinary longevity Kings, male or female.

But without exception, every single one of them had been abused before they were killed. Shad broken or severed limbs, shad their stomach ripped open, shad their heads twisted off, and shad already been turned into a pile of bloody flesh before being dumped down, their identities simply unrecognizable.

Amidst their fall, those corpses were swallowed by the dense space cracks above the underground palace secret realm. Not a piece of them could even remain in this world!

Little Silver’s eyes instantly becbloodshot, and his jaw clenched tightly. “Those damned alien scum!”

Ruowu stood like she was immobilized, her face equally frosty. The taste of being a fish on the enemy’s chopping board was just suffocating.

“I only sent ten two-legged sheep to you this time. Three days later, if you still refuse to cout, I’ll send you a hundred more!”

Le Xuexiu’s indifferent and murderous voice rang out in the sky above the abyss.

“As long as you keep cowering in your shells, all the sheep that our Blood Demon Ancient Domain will ever capture, shall die!

“Remember, all those two-legged sheep died and will die because of you!”
