The Prodigies War

Chapter 1150 Actualize Dao by Oneself

Supreme Building.

It stretched majestically into the sky.

In each world was a similar building, in which battles and tests took place.

Only those ranked in the top one thousand of the battles and tests were qualified to enter the passage that would open in one year’s time and would lead to the Upper Ninth Realm where cultivators could seek fortunes and opportunities.

In other words, in the course of one year, all those who were determined to enter the Upper Ninth Realm would enter the building and take the test.

Of course, there was another way to enter the Upper Ninth Realm: Successfully ascend to the king stage within one year.

From a distance, figures could be coming in and out of the Supreme Building.

“The rankings change every day. Unless you can make it into the top one hundred right away, there is a high chance that your ranking will drop. It is not enough to just reach the top one thousand places.”

There was a clamor of discussion and conversation.

“Work hard. There are many fortunes in the Burning Immortal World. If you grasp them, your strength can improve by leaps and bounds.”

“Ahh, it’s still too difficult. Millions of cultivators have come to the Burning Immortal World, but only one thousand of us are qualified to enter the Upper Ninth Realm. How brutal is this competition?”

“I’ve already given up. As long as I can seize some opportunities that will allow me to advance to the king stage, I will already be very satisfied.”

“Advance to the king stage? Haha, not everyone can become a king!”

“There are many half-step kings in this world. Although they might seem glorious, they are still ultimately failures of the king stage! Even among the talented geniuses, it is incredibly rare to find someone who can truly set foot into the king stage!”

“No, this is the Supreme Realm, where many opportunities and fortunes exist. It has to be easier to advance to the king stage here compared to in the outside world.”

In the distance, Lin Xun and A’lu were surveying the Supreme Realm, unaffected by the discussions and comments between the passersby.

They had been able to challenge the king stage long ago.

But that was not their goal.

They wanted to become supreme kings!

As for making it into the top one thousand rankings in the Supreme Tower, Lin Xun and A’lu were extremely confident of succeeding.

“Brother, should we go have some fun now?” A’lu said with a smile.

“Later.”

Lin Xun planned to find a place to rest first, and also to sort out his dao path in preparation for forging his dao seed!

The guidance from Burning Immortal Chen Linkong made him realize that only he himself could find his own path.

In short, he must not ask for help from outsiders!

As for the Supreme Building, he would challenge it over the year if there was an opportunity to do so.

However, he was rather interested in the Supreme Tower.

If he received acknowledgement from the tower, then he could enter and search for fortunes in the other Three Thousand Worlds.

This was tantamount to providing a way for cultivators distributed all over the Three Thousand World to cross the borders.

“I wonder which world Miss Jingxuan is in now...”

Lin Xun suddenly thought of Zhao Jingxuan, but he quickly shook his head and left with A’lu.

……

A remote nook in Burning Immortal Ancient City.

Lin Xun put on a disguise and bought a courtyard from a cultivator for the price of a king-grade herb.

This purchase showed the high cost of living in Burning Immortal Ancient City!

Of course, only Lin Xun would be willing to exchange a king-grade herb for a courtyard. Other cultivators would rather reside in the outskirts of the city than to waste a king-grade herb here.

However, Lin Xun saw benefits to living in the city, such as, inquiring information and purchasing aeth herbs, elixirs, and divine materials from other cultivators.

Additionally, the aeth qi was much purer and abundant in the city.

The ancient city was like a tremendous rune formation that gathered aeth qi from all directions!

It was said that training in the city was no different from cultivating in a blessed cultivation land or perhaps even better.

The reason why Lin Xun changed his appearance was because he didn’t want to be disturbed.

He was currently under a lot of attention. If his identity was exposed, then he would have to deal with many unnecessary matters and face a lot of trouble.

The courtyard was old and cluttered, and not particularly big, but it was indeed quiet and secluded.

After Lin Xun set up the Four Divisions King Array around the courtyard, he was finally able to relax himself. The formation would at least provide him with a certain level of defense even if enemies came to attack.

“Brother, I want to go out and find out more about the Ancient Land of All,” A’lu said urgently as soon as they were settled down.

According to Burning Immortal Chen Linkong, A’lu’s fortune was most likely related to the Ancient Land of All.

“Do you want me to come with you?” asked Lin Xun.

“No, I’m just going to inquire for some information. I can do it by myself.”

A’lu left in a hurry.

But to his disappointment, not a single cultivator in the huge ancient city had ever heard of the Ancient Land of All.

In the end, he decided to use the Supreme Tower to head to other areas of the Three Thousand Worlds to see if he could find out anything about the Ancient Land of All.

Lin Xun intended to go with him, but A’lu declined his offer.

According to him, this was his own path and he had to explore it by himself. If he needed help, he would ask him.

Lin Xun did not force him and just shared some of the king-grade herbs and treasures he had with A’lu, including a Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Bamboo.

On the same day, A’lu left in a hurry.

Lin Xun was not worried. A’lu was exceptionally strong and skilled in combat. He might seem boorish on the outside, but in truth, he was not stupid and knew how to size up a situation.

On that day, Lin Xun went into mediation.

This mediation session was different from those in the past as his purpose was not to improve his combat power, but to reorganize, seek, and explore his dao path.

So difficult!

But Lin Xun had already followed the Supreme Path ever since he was at the Heaven Ascension Stage. Over the years, he had accumulated a wealth of experience and knowledge.

He knew what he wanted!

In the following period, the cultivators in the Burning Immortal Ancient City came to find that Demon God Lin seemed to have vanished from the world. They heard nothing more about him.

“Is he seeking fortunes in other places?”

“Maybe he ran into some trouble. After all, he has killed so many top supreme figures in the Burning Sky Valley!”

“Yes, I heard that the Golden Crow Clan have dispatched people to gather reinforcements in other areas through the Supreme Tower! They want to retaliate against Demon God Lin!”

“I also heard that the descendants of the Earth Treasury Temple are searching for Demon God Lin under the claim that he is a heretic and they need to perform rituals on him to purify him!”

“No wonder there are no traces of Demon God Lin. If I had to deal with so much trouble, I would also go into hiding.”

There were spirited discussions everywhere.

But as time went by, fewer and fewer people talked about Lin Xun.

Cultivators had come in their droves to the Burning Immortal World, and among them, many were top supreme geniuses and ancient-era eccentric geniuses.

Almost every day, something sensational happened.

Someone accidentally broke into a land of fortune and received unexpected treasures and caused a stir.

Fierce fights broke out across different places in the Burning Immortal World and led to the deaths of some top supreme figures.

Some dazzling cultivators also rose as a result and became the focus of attention.

Although Lin Xun’s impressive feats drew a lot of attention at the beginning, once he vanished from people’s eyes and no more news about him emerged, he began to fade into silence and was gradually forgotten.

……

Before he knew it, three months passed by.

The Burning Immortal World was as turbulent as ever, with cultivators constantly rising and falling.

But all that had nothing to do with Lin Xun.

In a tranquil courtyard, Lin Xun was in deep meditation, examining his dao path and reorganizing and summarizing his years of experiences, insights, and comprehension.

As one grew older, one would realize their naivety in the past.

It was the same with cultivation.

The higher one stood, the greater one understood whether the path one took was a winding and rocky wrong path or a bright and correct one.

What one previously thought was right might not necessarily be correct anymore.

What one considered wrong before might still hold mysteries and secrets that could be figured out.

Cultivation was akin to wandering the mountains and rivers.

In the past, mountains were mountains and water was water.

Suddenly, mountains would no longer be seen as mountains and water would no longer be seen as water.

Eventually, one would understand that the mountain was still the same mountain and the water was still the same water.

However, by that time, one’s state of mind and the wonderful truth and meaning one had realized would be completely different from before!

Lin Xun was corroborating his past path, referring to it, and using it as a guide to explore and seek his own supreme path!

In the past three months, he had comprehended and gained a lot.

Details that he failed to notice during his previous cultivation gave him new insights and appreciation, and then he drew inferences from them, checked for flaws and remedied any gaps, all for the pursuit of ultimate perfection.

“My path is to be different from the past, to be different from the current world. Only by seeking oneself can one find oneself. Other people...indeed can’t guide me on this!”

The three months of meditation and realization had made Lin Xun’s dao heart much firmer and purer.

The Supreme Realm might be littered with infinite opportunities and fortunes, but to him, the key to seeking a Supreme Path different from the rest of the world was to rely on himself.

The advice from other people and the scriptures that he had grasped could only be used as a reference and guide. He had to realize and walk his dao path by himself.

This was called actualizing the dao.

Actualizing the dao by oneself!

For example, Toady’s path was fated with Burning Immortal Chen Linkong. It was also a dao path, and it also had hopes of leading him to the supreme king stage.

But it was not suitable for Lin Xun.

It was not that one was better than the other; they just sought different paths.

Another month passed by.

“I should go outside.”

On this day, Lin Xun, who was in a deep meditative state, sprang open his eyes and rose to his feet, appearing ethereal, untainted by a speck of dust in the world.

At this point in the meditation, it was as though the full moon had formed over the sapphire sea. Even if he continued to meditate, it would bring no additional benefit.

His next task should be to seek and explore ways to form his dao seed, and make preparations for ascending to the supreme king stage!
