The Prodigies War

Chapter 835: Ride the Deer Through the Mountains

In the present cultivation world, even among those at the Cyclic Derivation Stage, only the most amazing cultivators could cultivate the soul of the primordial spirit!

Once they reached this stage, the spirit could break out from the shell, roam the seas and wander freely under the blue sky like an immortal!

For most cultivators, they would only form the soul of the primordial spirit once they reached the half-step king stage.

Of course, a large majority of cultivators would never reach this stage in their lives.

This was a hurdle for all cultivators. Once they stepped over it, they could rock the world, but if they failed to then their paths stopped there.

However, unlike other cultivators in the world, Lin Xun had formed the soul of the primordial spirit before he reached the Cyclic Derivation Stage. He had gained the ability to release his spirit to roam the universe!

This was no doubt a shocking feat that would cause a sensation in the world if spread out.

Lin Xun carefully observed the changes within himself, which had nothing to do with his cultivation. Instead, it was a transformation of his spirit.

After my spirit power transformed, it now possesses the wisdom to pierce the darkness. Once a thought arises, everything follows. Once a thought is extinguished, all insubstantiality does not exist!

Simply speaking, the biggest advantage of reaching this state is that even if my body dies, the primordial spirit will survive forever!

“Congratulations, you have passed the sixth level of the Omega Secret Realm.”

While Lin Xun was observing the changes after the transformation, a voice as cold as ice rang in his ears.

He abruptly lifted his head, only to see a hazy figure staring right at him from the end of the Great Azure Cloud Path.

He remembered that, before he challenged the level, the mysterious woman told him that she was going to take a look at the outside world and that she would be right back.

He just didn’t expect the woman to not disappear when she returned.

This had never happened in the past.

“This is the reward for passing the sixth level.”

A light sphere appeared in front of Lin Xun with a flick of her fingers.

Instantly, Lin Xun could detect two inheritance secrets imprinted in the light sphere, precisely the second half of Mystery Grotto Devour Wilderness Scripture and the Heavenly Yuan Blade Art.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xun didn’t grab the reward right away, because he noticed that the mysterious figure was still standing there and hadn’t left yet.

“Thank you, Elder,” Lin Xun expressed his gratitude.

Standing motionlessly, the woman radiated a hazy, dreamy glow that gave her an illusionary feeling as though she would fade at any second.

She was silent for a moment before she responded, “You are now only three levels away from the Omega Door. I hope that you can reach where I am in one go when you challenge the levels next time.” Her cold, emotionless voice echoed throughout the boundless world of nothingness.

Lin Xun trembled inwardly. Does this mean that I can pass three levels in one go and reach the end of the Great Azure Cloud Path?

At the end was the Omega Door and also where the woman was standing!

Lin Xun realized that there had to be a reason for the mysterious woman to make such an arrangement.

He asked after taking a deep breath, “Can I ask what my cultivation level should be before I come here and challenge it again?”

“Become a king and step foot into the absolute apex!”

When the woman turned around, her graceful and hazy figure faded into the sky-high mysterious portal door.

“Within three years, the great age will surely come. If you seize the opportunity, then perhaps...maybe you can open this door.”

The voice was ethereal, but it made Lin Xun fall into deep thought.

“The absolute apex path of the king stage…”

After a long moment, Lin Xun murmured with his eyes fixed on the end of the Great Azure Cloud Path.

There, the tightly closed Omega Door stood tall and mysteriously like it hadn’t been opened in countless years.

What was beyond the door?

Could it be hiding the greatest secret in the Omega Secret Realm?

An unprecedented feeling of desire rose in Lin Xun’s heart.

He realized that only when he reached the end of the Great Azure Cloud Path would he have the qualifications to further understand and know more about the Omega Secret Realm.

And perhaps then, he could know who the mysterious woman was!

“Remember, before you become an Absolute Apex King, I can only help you three times. I have already saved you once. If you used up all three chances and still can’t survive...then I have to admit that I found the wrong person.”

The cold voice suddenly rang once again, startling Lin Xun.

“Help me three times!”

For Lin Xun, he felt like he had struck gold. It was a pleasant surprise. He never expected such a reward after passing the sixth level.

But when he heard that she had already saved him once, he couldn’t help frowning in bewilderment. What’s going on?

I had never asked for help!

But before he could question further, the world spun around him and everything darkened. He was teleported away from the Omega Secret Realm.

In a stuffy cave, Lin Xun’s eyes flickered around. Even after racking his brain, he couldn't remember when he had asked the mysterious woman to help him...

Does this mean that I only have two chances left?

He sighed in frustration.

However, ever since he embarked on his cultivation journey, he had never relied on anyone, let alone asked for any help.

In cultivation, one cultivated one’s own mind and relied on one’s own self. If one’s mind was dependent on another, it would only hinder one’s own path to becoming a true strong expert!

Lin Xun would never pin all his hopes on other people.

“Huh? No!” His expression dramatically changed. He sprang up, realizing a problem.

Very quickly, he grimaced as he inhaled sharply.

His body was severely wounded and on the verge of exhaustion after being hunted by Gou Yangba and Gou Yangtong. Even though he had cultivated the soul of the primordial spirit, his injuries were still very bad and his situation didn’t look optimistic.

“I wonder if those two old dogs have caught up...” he uttered nervously, unaware that the outside world had undergone earth-shaking changes.

“I should get away from here as soon as possible!”

Lin Xun clenched his teeth, enduring the agonizing pain, and dragged his broken body out of the cave.

It was early morning. There was a gentle breeze blowing as the first rays of the morning sun cast a soft, golden glow over the verdant mountains.

It was secluded and peaceful. Occasionally, the cries and chirps of beasts and birds could be heard. The surroundings seemed tranquil without any dangerous atmosphere.

But Lin Xun didn’t dare to let his guard down.

He could feel that the state of his body hadn’t deteriorated, but was being repaired little by little.

This was the magical effect of consuming the Gold Essence Jade Liquid earlier.

However, he still wasn’t able to circulate his cultivation power and could only travel through the mountains on foot.

Soon, he came to a babbling mountain stream and noticed a green deer drinking water.

A thought struck him. He activated the secret art of Qiuniu Heart to communicate with it.

The green deer hesitated before it inched towards Lin Xun, stuck out its tongue and licked Lin Xun’s palm. Then, it knelt on the ground.

Lin Xun smiled, rubbed the deer’s head, and somersaulted onto the back of the deer. Together, they headed towards the vast mountains in the distance.

“A sacred and terrifying aura appeared here and shook the world. All living creatures bowed their heads and surrendered to it?”

Along the way, Lin Xun came to learn about all the earthshaking incidents that had happened in the mountain areas yesterday through conversation with the green deer.

“Only the mysterious woman would have such divine powers. She also said that she wanted to leave the Omega Secret Realm and have a look at the outside world...”

“If that’s the case, then could the two old dogs have died in her hands?”

Lin Xun hurriedly asked the green deer, but unfortunately, the deer had no memories of that.

“Oh right, she said that she has helped me once already, so she must have done something yesterday.”

“Also, the two old dogs could have easily found me given their abilities, but they still hadn’t appeared, which means they must have already met with an accident!” Lin Xun concluded.

“No wonder she said that she has helped me once already. But how strong would she be if she could kill those two old dogs so easily?” Lin Xun’s heart ran wildly inside his chest.

“No matter what, it seems I am safe now. So, it’s time that I find a secluded place to break through to the next cultivation level...”

Carrying Lin Xun on its back, the green deer trotted along the stone paths at a steady pace.

Seven days later.

In an extremely primitive, ancient, mountainous forest, a tyrannical aura suddenly was rushing into the sky.

The sky and ground quaked violently. Rapidly thickening black clouds accumulated from all directions, obscuring the sky and bringing an extremely oppressive atmosphere, as if doomsday was coming.

Rumble!

The ashen clouds growled with thunder like a giant beating drum. Flashes of lightning blinded any observers as they danced wildly in the air, filled with a destructive aura that could destroy everything in its way.

The creatures living in the mountain area wailed in terror and frantically fled. It was as though a heavenly tribulation was about to strike!

Some powerful monster-beast cultivators and fierce beasts watched from afar with tensed bodies, ready to flee at the sight of any danger.

Rumble!

In the sky, the lightning tribulation erupted, gradually turning blood-red from a dazzling silvery color, dyeing the sky red as if the blood of a god was burning!

The bright red lightning ripped through the air and pulverized the void, releasing a destructive aura that made all living creatures tremble with fear.

So terrifying!

The powerful monster-beast cultivators and beasts also panicked. Who the hell is going through the tribulation? How can they draw upon such a terrifying lightning tribulation?

Shua!

While they were speculating, a cultivator charged upwards, golden lights flaring up around his slender and handsome figure. He was fearlessly heading straight for the tribulation clouds in the sky.

Si!

In the distance, a group of monster-beast cultivators and beasts gasped out loud. Who is that guy? He’s so abnormal. Does he want to fight the heaven tribulation head-on?
