The Prodigies War

Chapter 1185 Imagining Things

Before long, Wen Aohai stepped forward to take the test.

However, his heart sank once he received the test result. He was not ranked!

In other words, his current strength was not enough for him to make it onto the top one hundred of the Genius Gold Rankings!

Clenching his fists quietly, he took a deep breath to calm the bitter emotions in his heart and turned around to leave the area of the Mythic Fire Battle Tablet.

In the distance, Wu Lingfeng and others were waiting for him.

“Don’t be discouraged. The competition in the Upper Nine Realm has just begun. The rankings now mean nothing at all.” Wu Lingfeng comforted him, “What’s more, only a handful of experts can truly be ranked on the Genius Gold Rankings.

“Those people have all mastered a grand dao power to the level of Dao Law and began to search for the Longevity Path.”

Wen Aohai asked in surprise, “Could it be that only by mastering the power of Dao Law can one make it onto the Genius Golden Rankings?”

“That’s not necessary. Some supreme kings, even if they have yet to master the Dao Law power, still have high hopes of being ranked.” Wu Lingfeng explained, “From what I know, in the Hollow Heaven Realm, Chi Lingxiao has soared to ninety-third place on the Genius Gold List without possessing any Dao Law power.”

Ninety-third!

Wen Aohai’s pupils shrank.

The ranking sounded low, but it should be noted that in the present Upper Nine Realms, countless remarkable ancient-era eccentric genius and heaven-defying monsters had gathered.

It was already impressive to achieve that position without mastering the power of Dao Law.

Moreover, many of the top one hundred positions on the Genius Gold Rankings were blank, waiting to be filled!

Thinking of this, Wen Aohai’s heart started to settle.

A thought struck his mind, and he looked at Wu Lingfeng. “Brother Wu, what about you?”

Wu Lingfeng smiled indifferently. “I just mastered a kind of Dao Law power and only just made the ninety-eighth position.”

He spoke casually, but the pride in his words was unconcealable.

The nearby king experts at first donned a surprised expression before it twisted into a look of envy and fear.

It was not easy to be ranked ninety-eighth.

At least, among their group of supreme kings Wu Lingfeng was the first to do so!

However, as Wu Lingfeng said, the Upper Nine Realms had only been open for less than a month and the ranking competition did not mean much right now.

Shortly, as every supreme king improved their strength, it would be the time to truly compete for the ranking of the Genius Gold Rankings.

“Let’s go, I invited everyone to talk about the heaven-defying fortune in the Underworld River Forbidden Zone. If we can grasp it, we all have hopes of achieving a higher ranking on the Genius Gold Rankings!”

Wu Lingfeng’s eyes blazed fanatically.

……

Three days later.

Wen Aohai left the Golden Crow Clan residence.

His heart was still swirling with excitement.

Under Wu Lingfeng’s rally, seven supreme kings had unanimously decided to participate in the search for the heaven-defying fortune like him.

The operation was arranged to happen one month from now!

“One month is enough for me to improve my strength to a higher level.”

“There’s also the Star Catcher Fruit, which should mature when the time comes. With that divine herb, even if I encountered fatal danger in the Underworld River Forbidden Land, I can still protect my life.”

As he contemplated, the outline of Star Catcher Mountain came into view in the distance.

One month passed and the passage to the Upper Nine Realms has long been closed. Demon God Lin should have arrived in the Mythic Fire Realm now, right?

This thought brought a rush of uncontrollable murderous intent to his heart.

When they were in the Burning Immortal World, Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain suffered massive losses from Lin Xun’s attack.

If not, many more descendants of their clan would have entered the Upper Nine Realms.

For example, ancient-era eccentric genius Liang Xueyin who died in Lin Xun’s hands as well as other supreme figures all had high hopes of ascending to the supreme king stage!

But now, all hopes were crushed.

If Wen Aohai hadn’t set foot into the supreme king stage through a fortuitous encounter, in the absence of a leader, Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain would soon be annexed by other forces!

Wen Aohai knew that in addition to Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain, the Golden Crow Clan, Sea Soul Clan, Mysterious Metropolis Sect, Moon Worshiper Sect and other forces were also searching for Lin Xun.

The moment that Lin Xun showed up, he would become the target of everyone!

Star Catcher Mountain was very quiet like nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Wen Aohai heaved a sigh of relief. The Mythic Fire Realm is not peaceful at all, with bloody conflicts breaking out every single day.

Fortunately, Star Catcher Mountain is located in a remote area, otherwise, it would have been targeted by many major forces.

Clanking rang from the mountain.

A glad and satisfied smile curled Wen Aohai's lips. While I was away, my fellow senior and junior brothers and sisters did not ignore my instructions and are all working hard to mine ruyi divine gold.

It was an extremely rare material that could craft the finest king-grade weapons and be used as an auxiliary material for forging Saint treasures!

Without thinking much, Wen Aohai walked through the mountain gate.

But a frown quickly creased his brows as he glanced at the stone hut atop the mountain. That was his training spot, but someone was practicing in it!

Immediately after that, he shook his head. The ancestral origin stone inside the stone hut has incredible benefits to one’s cultivation. There’s no harm in letting my junior and senior brothers and sisters borrow it.

“Senior Brother Wen, you...you are finally back!”

In a medicinal herb garden in the distance, Rui Manrong raised her head and when she realized it was indeed Wen Aohai, she burst into tears and darted towards him.

Wen Aohai gave a pleased smile. He was only gone for a few days but his Junior Sister Rui was so emotional to see him. It showed that he had occupied an important position in her heart after he became a king.

Rui Manrong had never treated him like that, let alone cry with joy to see him.

“What? Senior Brother Wen is back?”

With a crash, a group of figures rushed out of the mining tunnel, all covered with dust and dirt.

Tears pooled in their eyes at the sight of Wen Aohai. Some shouted excitedly and danced about in joy.

Their reaction to his return moved Wen Aohai and made him feel warm and fuzzy.

Humans were not rocks, so how would they have no feelings?

How would he not be overwhelmed with emotions when he saw the joy and excitement in his fellow sisters and brothers in seeing him?

This is the kind of treatment you can only enjoy when you become a supreme king, right?

I must become stronger!

Wen Aohai vowed to himself. He had never been treated in this way before.

He drew a deep breath and asked, “Thank you for your hard work. Can I ask how much ruyi divine gold we have collected so far?”

Everyone’s expressions darkened, some gritted their teeth, and some showed grief and anger.

Wen Aohai frowned. “Did something happen?”

Rui Manrong was the first to cry out anxiously, “Senior Brother Wen, those are all trivial matters. Demon God Lin has appeared. He...”

Before she finished, Wen Aohai interrupted with a hearty laughter, “Good! I was just thinking about how to kill the bastard, but I never thought that he had already shown up!”

His expression was nothing but joy.

He had received one good news after another since his return. Not only did he receive special treatment from all his fellow senior and junior brothers and sisters, but also even Demon God Lin showed up!

Seeing Wen Aohai’s face light up, Rui Manrong and the others showed not a tinge of joy but instead looked very anxious.

“Where is he? Quickly take me to him, lest he escapes,” urged Wen Aohai.

Rui Manrong pointed to the stone hut on the mountain peak, her eyes smoldering with resentment. “There!”

Wen Aohai was taken aback for a good moment, thinking that he heard it wrong. “Junior sister Rui, are you...mistaken?”

This was Star Catcher Mountain, the territory of Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain, and the stone hut was his training spot! How would Demon God Lin show up there?

“There’s no mistake, Demon God Lin is there!”

Meng Yinghua rushed over, gritting his teeth, and lamented, “Not only did he occupy your training spot, but he also forced us to mine for him. All the ruyi divine gold we dug up while you were gone are in that guy’s hand!”

“What?!”

Wen Aohai’s face went dark and the joy in his heart was dispelled completely. He realized that all his speculations were wrong...

While he was gone, Star Catcher Mountain was not peaceful at all!

“Also, as soon as Demon God Lin came, he slaughtered eight of our people, took over the Mountain, and even forced...forced us to kneel and submit to him!”

Everyone’s voice was filled with endless grief, anger, and hatred.

As for Wen Aohai, he looked like he had been struck by lightning. It was not peaceful at all. Even my den has been occupied!

Indescribable deep anger welled up within him and his face turned livid. “How could this happen? The mountain is protected by a great defense array, how can he, someone at the Cyclic Derivation Stage, do this? Did you guys not stop him?”

Rui Manrong cried bitterly, “Senior Brother Wen, you misunderstand. Demon God Lin has become a supreme king…”

Supreme King!

Those two words brought a wave of dizziness over Wen Aohai, and his vision blurred for a moment. How...how is this possible?

Only then did he finally understand that neither Rui Manrong nor the others were welcoming or cheering for his return, but instead they had been waiting for his help!

He had been imagining things...

Embarrassment, awkwardness, shock, anger...all sorts of emotions surged into Wen Aohai’s heart like a tsunami, making him almost cough up blood.

I've only been away for a few days, so why has everything changed?

His eyes reddened, and his hair spiked up in anger. Glaring at the stone hut on the mountain peak he roared at the top of his voice, “Lin Xun, get out here and die!”

His voice shook the heavens and earth like an explosion of thunder, causing the space to crumble inch after inch.

He was crazy with anger.

“What’s the ruckus? If you damage the aeth herbs and divine herbs on the mountain, you will pay for it. And you guys, what are you doing standing there? Go back and mine!”

Lin Xun emerged from the stone hut in a leisurely manner, hands behind back, and reprimanded Wen Aohai and others like the master of the mountain.

Wen Aohai almost spat out blood. This guy...

Has gone too far!
