The Prodigies War

Chapter 795: Flying Immortal Tablet

The teasing smile faded from the woman’s lips. She didn’t want to embarrass Lin Xun further. “Young man, come sit down. I don’t have much time so let’s have a good chat during this time.” When her voice faded, her demeanor suddenly changed.

Before this, she was an unrivaled beauty who could charm anyone in the world.

But now, she had a sacred air around her. Her solemn and dignified expression, her calm eyes, and her ethereal aura made it seem like she had transcended the mundane world.

Lin Xun trembled inwardly, realizing that Xia Xiaochong’s master had to be a character with frightening strength!

Lin Xun took a seat on the other side. Then, with an inadvertent glance, he noticed that Xia Xiaochong had already fallen asleep on the bed.

“My name is Lin Wenjun, and I come from the Azure Hill Sky Fox Clan. I had some affairs to deal with so that delayed me in coming to meet you.” Lin Wenjun introduced herself and asked, “I heard from Xiaochong that you want to go to the East Victory World?”

Lin Xun nodded.

“To get to the East Victory World, you need to cross a world order barrier, and only Saints who can control the laws of space can freely pass through them,” Lin Wenjun stated calmly. “There are only two ways for ordinary cultivators to get to the East Victory World from here.”

“One, act on your own and try to make it through the broken boundary path between the world order barrier. However, the boundary path is the most dangerous and turbulent place in the world. Even Saint-level figures would run into many dangers there and be at risk of death.”

Lin Xun nodded. He had also inquired about it in recent days. The so-called boundary path was the passage between the worlds. It was riddled with dangers and unpredictable natural disasters. No one would choose to cross a world in such a way if they had a choice.

“The second way is to use an ancient teleportation array to safely transport you to the East Victory World from the West Infinity World.”

Lin Wenjun continued, “It might sound simple, but it isn’t easy for ordinary cultivators to successfully borrow an ancient teleportation array for their own use. After all, such ancient teleportation arrays were set up by Saints and require a huge amount of high-grade aeth essence to operate.”

“Not only that, but there are also only a dozen of such ancient teleportation arrays in the entire West Infinity World and most of them are controlled by the major ancient sects. They wouldn’t lend one out to anyone.”

Lin Xun wrinkled his brows. As expected, it wasn’t as easy to travel to the East Victory World as he had imagined.

“In short, if you want to borrow an ancient teleportation array then you will have to, first, obtain the permission of a certain ancient sect, and secondly, pay a considerable fee.”

Lin Wenjun fixed her almond-shaped eyes on Lin Xun. “I believe you understand that the fee is only a trivial matter. The real problem is to obtain the permission of a certain ancient sect.”

Lin Xun nodded, and then a thought struck him. “Elder, I wonder if you can guide me to a path?”

In his view, Xia Xiaochong’s master wouldn’t just say a few words after making him wait for so many days.

Sure enough, the corners of Lin Wenjun’s lips curled upwards. “I don’t know if I can guide you, but I made you wait for so many days as a test to see if you are worth me doing this. It seems like you just scraped a pass.”

Lin Xun broke out in a cold sweat. Why does she need to test me? This woman is hard to figure out.

“Promise me one thing. Take Xiaochong to the Azure Hill Mountain in Perched Phoenix Province. When you get there, someone will arrange for you to go to the East Victory World.” Lin Wenjun suddenly sat up straight with the most serious expression on her face. “What do you say?”

Perched Phoenix Province, Azure Hill Mountain?

Lin Xun had never heard of those places before, but he knew that if he refused, she would be extremely disappointed.

“Of course, it’s okay if you refuse, it’s just that...”

Lin Wenjun sighed softly and scrunched her beautiful brows. An indescribable look of melancholy and helplessness crossed her stunningly beautiful face. Any man would feel pity when they see her.

After a while, she said in a distracted manner, “I had no other choice. I thought that I could find a solution, but I never thought that the enemy would be able to cut off all my options, leaving me with no way out. The only thing I could do now is to do this.”

Enemy!

No way out!

Lin Xun's sharp senses told him that Lin Wenjun was at the end of the rope, so she had no choice but to entrust Xia Xiaochong to a stranger.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Xun agreed, “Xiaochong is the first friend I made in the Fire Spirit Province. Elder, if you decide to entrust her with me then I will do my best to take care of her.”

He did that not only to get help to reach the East Victory World, but more importantly because he also couldn’t ignore any matter that involved Xia Xiaochong.

Lin Wenjun was a little surprised to hear Lin Xun agree so unwaveringly. Her eyes were alight with relief. Then, she took a deep breath and said, “Listen to me first before you make a decision. This matter might put you in danger so I can’t hide it from you.”

As early as ancient times, the Azure Hill Sky Fox Clan had a mortal enemy—the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan!

The Azure Hill Sky Fox and the Black Nightmare Sky Dog were two clans with a history of blood feuds that could no longer be resolved after generations.

However, the Azure Hill Sky Fox Clan had long deteriorated and only a very small number of clan members remained in the world. Their power couldn’t be compared to that in the past, and they had long lost the glory they had in ancient times.

To survive, the Azure Hill Sky Fox Clan had to go into hiding and lived an extremely grueling and dangerous life unimaginable to other people.

It was a completely different situation for the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan.

They had survived to this day, with their powers growing by the day. Their foundation was solid, and their clan was full of talents. They could be regarded as one of the major forces in the Ancient Wasteland Domain!

Based on that, one could easily imagine how hard it was for the already declining Azure Hill Sky Fox Clan to struggle to survive.

Lin Wenjun was from the Azure Hill Sky Fox Clan. She also had another identity as the sect master of the Star Dome Sect, but somehow her identity was exposed and that aroused the attention of her clan’s mortal enemy, the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan.

Just over ten days ago, Lin Wenjun suffered an attack from experts sent by the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan and was almost captured.

“You should now understand that my enemy is the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan, a colossal clan. Its power spans all four worlds of the Ancient Wasteland Domain. If you agree to help, then you may be dragged into the feud and suffer retaliation from the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan.” When Lin Wenjun finished what she had to say, she quietly watched Lin Xun’s reaction.

She had already decided that if Lin Xun refused to help, she would still get him to the East Victory World. She had already heard about Xia Xiaochong’s training in Ziniu Mountain, so she knew very well that if it wasn’t for Lin Xun, Xia Xiaochong would have run into many unpredictable dangers.

Lin Xun cast a glance over at Xia Xiaochong who was sleeping on the bed, reminiscing their adventures and encounters along the way and a smile lifted the corners of his lips.

She was a simple, energetic and adorable girl, who was as pure as a piece of white paper.

But most importantly, she was his first friend in the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

That fact meant that, no matter what the situation was, Lin Xun would never stand idly by.

Therefore, he retracted his gaze from Xia Xiaochong and calmly agreed to the request. He understood the danger, but he didn’t care.

He was alone in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, so he wouldn’t be afraid of anyone. Moreover, he already had several enemies in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, including the mighty Omega Sword Sect, Heaven Axis Holy Land, and the Spirit Treasure Holy Land.

As the saying went, when a person was covered with lice, they didn’t itch. The poor, who have nothing to lose, do not fear those with power. He didn’t mind offending another so-called major force.

“Are you sure?”

Lin Wenjun was already prepared to hear Lin Xun refuse. It never crossed her mind that Lin Xun would agree so calmly even after hearing about everything.

Lin Xun smiled. “Elder, do you think I’m joking?”

“Why?” Lin Wenjun was baffled. She felt as though she had learned a new side of Lin Xun.

“I have a younger sister called Xia Zhi.” Lin Xun gave a more baffling reason, yet he said it in the most serious tone, “Xiaochong also has the surname Xia so I believe this is fate. Everything has been willed by the heavens, so if I refuse, wouldn’t I be ignoring what the heavens have predestined for me?”

Lin Wenjun’s almond-shaped eyes shone brightly, like a beautiful river water glistening under the autumn sun. She seemed to be very touched, and only after a while did she murmur, “Xiaochong has much better luck than I do…at least she has found a man worth committing to, while I...never mind.”

She seemed to be recalling some unbearable past events.

But a wry smile tugged at the corners of Lin Xun’s lips. What does she mean by worth committing to?

Lin Xun finally understood why Xia Xiaochong always liked to use her master’s words to criticize and refute him.

Lin Wenjun had to have been hurt emotionally in the past!

“Take this Flying Immortal Tablet.”

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Wenjun took out a tablet and handed it to Lin Xun. “Don’t refuse this. You are someone who cherishes love and highly values loyalty and righteousness. It’s not right to not repay you for what you’ve done so take this treasure as a little token.”

The palm-sized tablet was polished like white jade with wisps of light azure light flowing around its smooth surface.

Vaguely, the inside of the tablet was swirling with celestial energy, and the outside was glowing with a sacred aura. It was undoubtedly mysterious and extraordinary.

Flying Immortal Tablet?

Lin Xun trembled inwardly. A jade tablet named Flying Immortal had to be extraordinary.

In an instant, he concluded that the tablet was invaluable with an astonishing background!

Sure enough, Lin Wenjun sent him a voice transmission, “You must keep this item safe and not let anyone know about it. It is a treasure passed down from the ancestors of the Azure Hill Sky Fox Clan, and it is connected to the great secret of the Kunlun Dominion, one of the four great ancient dominions. Even a Saint won’t be able to fight their desire to seize and own this treasure if they see it!”
