The Prodigies War

Chapter 778: Longevity Palace

The ancient nine-headed golden flood-dragon was carrying a sacred palace across the vast blue sky!

The spectacular and rare sight attracted and stunned countless cultivators of the city.

“That’s the nine-headed golden flood-dragon, a creature that is terrifying as soon as it’s born. Its imposing bearing is likely on par with a half-step king, but it is serving as a means of transportation...”

Many cultivators marveled, still in disbelief that they witnessed such a miracle.

“Who are those young men and women? All of them are like celestial beings. They have an extraordinary aura and don’t seem like ordinary people.”

Some people noticed the group of young men and women standing in front of the sacred palace, and each of their appearances was as dazzling as a star.

“Not just any sect or clan can control the nine-headed golden flood-dragon to make it willingly carry a palace. I wonder which ancient sect they come from. Why have I never heard of it before? Is there a sect or clan like that in the West Infinity World?” All the cultivators looked perplexed.

They had never seen such a scene before, nor had they ever even heard of a terrifying creature such as the nine-headed golden flood-dragon acting as a means of transportation for humans.

Too unbelievable!

“There’s no need to guess, they are not cultivators from the West Infinity World. If my guess is correct, they should be from an ancient sect of the South Wonder World that has a history of one hundred thousand years—the Longevity Land!” exclaimed an old man emotionally, sparking a commotion in the nearby crowd.

Even Lin Xun narrowed his eyes. It was very unusual for a sect to dare to use the word longevity in its name.

“The nine-headed golden flood-dragon is a terrifying creature with the potential to become an ancestor and a Saint. Only very few ancient sects in the entire South Wonder World could subdue it and Longevity Land is one of the few.”

The old man’s eyes seemed to be filled with nostalgia as he exclaimed, “Look at the palace on its back. It’s called the Longevity Palace. Standing ninety-nine feet tall, the entire body is constructed from mysterious materials and is imbued with the sacred qi of the great dao. It is a Saint Treasure, and there is only one of them in the whole world!”

Longevity Palace!

Saint Treasure!

The nearby cultivators erupted in a commotion, their eyes wide with amazement and shock.

In the Ancient Wasteland Domain, Saints were one of a kind like the sun and the moon. They could illuminate all heavens and possess heaven-shaking powers. In normal times, it was impossible to catch a glimpse of them.

However, Saint Treasures were even rarer. They were also known as the ultimate saint weapon due to the fact that they possessed intelligence and spirit as well as unimaginable powers that allowed them to effortlessly kill Life Death Stage Kings!

Now, a nine-headed golden flood-dragon was carrying a Saint Treasure and a group of stunningly beautiful young men and women were standing in front of the treasure. It would be difficult for even a Life Death Stage King to remain calm if they saw the spectacle.

It was a pity that the nine-headed golden flood-dragon quickly disappeared into the blue sky, but that awakened the passersby on the street from their shocked states.

“I remembered that a while ago there were rumors that a peerless figure from the South Wonder World would come to the West Infinity World to visit the saintess of the Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms. If that’s the case, would that peerless figure be from the Longevity Land?” Someone’s exclamation set off an uproar.

It was very likely to be true. After all, they traveled in a Saint Treasure and on a nine-headed golden flood-dragon. That fact alone indicated that there had to be a very special existence among the people of the Longevity Land!

“Longevity Land, Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms...”

Lin Xun’s emotions were also churning like the sea. It was impossible to witness such a scene in the lower domain world.

But he was most amazed by the incredible foundation of the Ancient Wasteland Domain. He would never randomly see an incomparably brilliant person in the lower domain world.

However, after a moment of being moved, he scrunched his brows.

He vaguely saw a familiar figure among the young men and women on the nine-headed golden flood-dragon.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t be certain because of the distance.

“If it’s really her, then does that mean that after she left the empire, she went to train in the Longevity Land in the South Wonder World?”

“Given the talent she showed in Blood Kill Camp back then, she is undoubtedly qualified to join that kind of sacred place.”

The image of a gorgeous and elegant maiden emerged in his mind.

“Big Brother Lin Xun!” A clear and pleasant voice snapped him awake.

Lin Xun raised his eyes and saw Xia Xiaochong running towards him from a distance. She looked like an energetic butterfly with her light footsteps and petite figure.

Lin Xun had planned to search for her himself, but she showed up just as he left the inn.

“Big Brother Lin Xun, did you see that huge flood-dragon just now? It’s so bizarre! It has nine heads! There is also that palace that is as beautiful as a celestial being’s residence. My life would be worth living if I can sit inside it for a while.” Xia Xiaochong gasped in wonder, her innocent face filled with amazement.

PA!

Lin Xun knocked on her forehead, grumbling, “You made me wait until now, but not only do you not feel guilty about it, you also still have the time to pay attention to those things. Are you heartless?”

Xia Xiaochong grabbed Lin Xun’s arm affectionately, blinked her huge eyes and giggled, “Hey, aren’t I here now? Oh by the way, my master said that she will come to see you in ten days and told you to wait.”

Lin Xun immediately lowered his brows in an annoyed frown. Xia Xiaochong’s master seems quite haughty. We have never met him before yet she is telling me to wait for her for ten days.

He only previously wanted to meet Xia Xiaochong’s master to find some directions to get to the East Victory World. But now that he had arrived in Flame Capital, he realized that he could find out by himself. There was no longer a need for him to meet Xia Xiaochong’s master.

He only waited because he had made a promise to Xia Xiaochong. Let alone would he break a promise, it would affect his credibility.

“If your master has something important to do, then I’m fine with not meeting her. Why do I have to wait?” Lin Xun asked.

“Uh, my master said that if you really want to go to the East Victory World, just wait here patiently,” Xia Xiaochong said nonchalantly.

Lin Xun raised his eyebrows, “Does your master think that I can’t get to the East Victory World without her help?”

Xia Xiaochong was indeed a simple and pure girl. Not only did she not notice Lin Xun’s irritated tone of voice, but she also nodded quickly and responded casually, “Ah, you guessed right, that’s what my master thinks. She said that it’s not that easy to cross a world.”

Lin Xun frowned. Could there be something more complicated to travel from the West Infinity World to the East Victory World?

In the end, Lin Xun decided to wait patiently for ten days.

He felt that Xia Xiaochong’s master wouldn’t deliberately make a fool of him. There had to be a reason for that.

“Big Brother Lin Xun, do you want me to take you shopping? I haven’t been in the Flame Capital in a long time. Since my master isn’t around, let’s have fun. Otherwise, I don’t know when I will be able to come out to play again when I return to the sect.” Xia Xiaochong stared at Lin Xun with hopeful eyes.

With nothing to do, Lin Xun readily agreed and Xia Xiaochong jumped up and cheered like a little kid.

Lin Xun chuckled. This girl has such a childlike innocence. She is as pure as a piece of white paper and can’t hide her emotions.

Having said that, he really liked Xia Xiaochong’s simple-minded personality because he felt the most carefree and relaxed when he was with her.

“Oh right, what were the results of the sect training?” asked Lin Xun.

“Of course, Senior Brother Yue Jianming from the Thousand Illusions Sect got first place like expected. Senior Sister Shui Xiu from the Pine Sword Sect was second place and Senior Sister Wen Ruyu from the Wen Clan was ranked third...” Xia Xiaochong counted on her fingers as she said to Lin Xun in a clear voice. “But the funniest thing is the ranking of the successors of the Spirit Pearl Sect. They had always been in the top three, but this time, almost all of them were at the bottom of the rankings.”

“When the ranking was announced, one of the Spirit Pearl Sect elders was twitching with anger while Mo Feng and the others all hung their heads in shame. I tried so hard not to laugh that my stomach hurts now.”

A beam of happiness spread over her innocent face.

Lin Xun also couldn’t help laughing. Mo Feng and the others deserve it for angering me. Ranking last place is the best punishment for them.

“What about you then?” asked Lin Xun.

“I was ranked fifty-ninth place.” Xia Xiaochong raised her little face proudly.

“Is this something to be proud of?”

“Isn’t it something to be proud of?” Xia Xiaochong asked back.

“Does it make sense to be so proud?” Lin Xun was a little lost for words.

“Does it not?” Xia Xiaochong frowned with the most serious expression.

The girl’s disagreeing face made Lin Xun wrinkle his forehead. Just over one hundred people participated in the training competition, but she was ranked fifty-ninth. Does...does it make sense for her to be so proud?

Lin Xun decided to bring the proud girl back to reality. “If I were your master, I would have expelled you from the sect on the spot. You were ranked so low yet you don’t feel ashamed, but instead feel extremely proud. You are no different from the shameless pig monster.”

Xia Xiaochong snarled, “Let’s see you do it then!”

“What? Do you think I can’t?”

Lin Xun grinned and stated, “Let me tell you that in those kinds of training competitions, I can easily take first place!”

“Stop bluffing!”

Xia Xiaochong rolled her eyes. “Do you think Senior Brother Yue Jianming doesn't exist? Do you think that Senior Sister Shui Xiu doesn’t exist? Do you also think that Senior Sister Wen Ruyu doesn’t exist? You said that I am as shameless as the pig monster, but it seems like you are worse!”

Lin Xun seldom cared about being looked down on by other people.

After all, there were too many narrow-minded and ignorant people in the world.

But he couldn’t stand being looked down on by the pure and simple-minded girl, especially when she compared him to Yue Jianming!

As Lin Xun recalled the fanatical admiration that Xia Xiaochong showed for Yue Jianming when they were in Ziniu Mountain a few days ago and how she compared him to Yue Jianming, he became more and more gloomy.

“Let’s go, I’ll open your eyes and make you know why you are ignorant and why you can’t judge a person by their appearance!” His eyes brightened and he grabbed Xia Xiaochong’s arm to take her somewhere.
