The Prodigies War

Chapter 1462: Meet Again

The heaven and earth returned to silence, and the peaceful and auspicious atmosphere was restored.

The ancient Ten Thousand Tribulation Palace stood tall, radiating an aura of majesty and magnificence.

Watching from afar, a barefooted youth in an ordinary, coarse garment shifted his gaze onto Lin Xun, who was standing before the steps of the Ten Thousand Tribulation Palace. This was the youth who had transformed from his golden cicada form.

He said with a smile, You also saw what happened just now. There are fifty great daos, but only forty nine can be derived in the world, missing one of them. The little guy who is the fiftieth true successor of Fangcun Mountain is precisely a variable factor.

The beautiful maiden in white who had transformed from her white cicada form looked very irritable. Those guys have already gone in, so why are you still chattering? Even if that boy is a variable factor, what does it have to do with us?

The golden cicada youth sighed, Never mind, go ahead.

The white cicada maiden said, Arent you coming?

I want to have a chat with the boy first. The golden cicada youth was staring at Lin Xun in the distance.

What a chatterbox! The white cicada maiden furrowed her brows and disappeared with a flash.

The golden cicada youth just smiled and didnt mind.

In front of the steps, Lin Xun let out a long sigh.

One can easily imagine how remarkable the opportunity is after seeing all the Quasi-Emperors go crazy over it. It most likely is related to becoming an Emperor!

Given my cultivation level and the fact that I have yet to reach the Saint Stage, even if I manage to enter the palace, I would never grasp the opportunity.

Little friend, there is no need to sigh with disappointment. Its just an opportunity. When fate comes knocking, there will be plenty of opportunities to fight for. A clear and gentle voice rang in Lin Xuns ears.

He looked up and saw a young man standing barefoot beside him. He had appeared without him even realizing it.

But what was most unbelievable was that the seven terrifying creatures following him did not react at all!

Lin Xuns eyelids twitched, and he studied the young man next to him. His voice sounded somewhat familiar.

My little friend, you must have forgotten that we had a little chat back then.

The golden cicada youth smiled slightly, his eyes gentle and calm. The aura around him was not the least noticeable, rather it was plain and ordinary.

Its you.

Realization dawned on Lin Xun, and his eyes widened in surprise. If Im not wrong, you are also here for the great opportunity, is that right?

The golden cicada youth smiled. Yes and no, I came here just to leave soon, not to compete for the opportunity. He took a seat on the first stone step. Little friend, Im really happy to see you again before I leave. This is fate, and it is mysterious and wonderful.

Lin Xun was a little unsure of what the guy wanted to do, but he also did not bother to think about it. He responded half-heartedly, Youve said this back then.

The golden cicada youth chuckled and asked, Are you worried about your friends? Theres no need to. This great opportunity was already destined to belong to someone. No matter who comes, they cant change destiny.

Lin Xun raised his brows. Really?

The golden cicada youth shrugged. I never lie. This palace was left by the Ten Thousand Tribulation Great Emperor. Originally, he wanted to establish a sect in the origin of chaos and pass down his cultivation.

But the sudden emergence of a great war meant that he could only make some hasty arrangements before he was gone, leaving behind the opportunity to become an Emperor at the cost of his own life.

Ten Thousand Tribulation Great Emperor!

Lin Xuns heart pounded. He thought of something.

The Blood Kill Battlefield in the dark night was a world transformed by an emperor stage corpse, so it was a terrifyingly vast and mysterious forbidden place.

The mysterious woman once said that the dark night world had completely disappeared, and a great opportunity would subsequently appear.

Now, standing before the Ten Thousand Tribulations Palace and after hearing what the golden cicada young man said, Lin Xun made a bold guess.

Could the emperor stage corpse that turned into the dark night world be left by the fallen Ten Thousand Tribulation Great Emperor?

The Ten Thousand Tribulation Great Emperor was an outstanding genius. Despite the humbleness of his background, he defied the will of heaven and endured ten thousand tribulations to finally reach the ranks of the emperor stage. Its a pity... The golden cicada youth sighed emotionally. The path he pursued was a taboo, as a result, when he was about to open up a sect and spread his knowledge to the world, he was faced with a devastating tribulation.

I came here with ABai back then to find out the truth about the death of the Ten Thousand Tribulation Great Emperor, because if I cant figure out what happened to him then, in the future...I may also end up like him. I cant let that happen.

He looked at Lin Xun and said with a smile, I told you back then that I aspired to find a path that would allow all living beings in the world to become Saints. This path...is not easy. His voice was filled with emotions.

For endless years, he had been living in seclusion here, analyzing, pondering, investigating and comprehending...

Only when the great age came did he finally see a glimmer of hope. How could he not be filled with emotions?

The pursuit of the great dao always involved enduring the torment of loneliness and solitude for years!

Elder, you are just talking to a brick wall when you tell me those things.

Lin Xun was taken aback for a moment, then laughed at himself. He had yet to become a Saint, so of course he would not understand the difficulty and danger of the path to the Emperor stage.

Even if you dont understand it now, you will understand it sooner or later. When I talked to you about the saint stage back then, you also didnt understand it either. But look at you now, you are not far from becoming a Saint, said the golden cicada youth casually. His gentle and clear voice had a calming and tranquil effect on people.

Lin Xun thought about back then and couldnt help but sigh, Indeed, Elder, you said that the saintless saint is the true saint, and the pathless path is the path of the great dao. This made me understand that if I want to reach the supreme, I must seek an unprecedented path.

The golden cicada young man nodded. The sainthood connects the past and the future, supporting one like a backbone, knowing all under heaven. It already has the means to impart ones knowledge and educate all living beings.

If one cant become a true saint, one cant talk about the saint path. Becoming an emperor is even more out of the question.

After a thought, the golden cicada youth continued, The five great cultivation stages form the foundation of cultivation, and it is through those five stages that a cultivator leaps from being an ordinary person to a cultivator, beginning to comprehend the principles of heaven and earth and learn about the wonders of the great dao.

The longevity path is built on the basis of realizing the dao. The spirit is like a lantern, illuminating forever and everlasting. Only when one possesses longevity can one withstand the ravages of time and have the time and opportunity to seek the higher levels of the great dao.

As for the saint stage, only then would one possess the power to truly realize the dao, and the path they pursued begins to touch upon the essence of the great dao of heaven and earth.

Only when one grasps the essence of the heaven and earth great dao laws can one explore the path to the eternal emperor stage.

This is the path of cultivation that has been known, but it is of course easier said than done. Once one embarks on the path of the great dao, it is equivalent to embarking on a path of no return. One cant make one wrong step.

The golden cicada fell silent for a moment before he continued, However, what is right and what is wrong? No one has a clear answer.

That is why the pursuit of the great dao is so dangerous and treacherous. Everyone thinks that the path they are embarking on is the right one. But when they find that there is no more road ahead, they will understand that they have been pursuing a wrong path!

The path that the Ten Thousand Tribulation Great Emperor pursued was a taboo, and he suffered a calamity as a result. The path he followed may have been the right one, but in my opinion, his path was the wrong one.

Lin Xun suddenly asked, If it is wrong, then elder why have you been here all these years, trying to figure out the truth behind the fall of the Ten Thousand Tribulation Great Emperor?

Its very simple. I want to know where he went wrong, answered the golden cicada honestly.

Then elder, do you know now?

I cant say. The golden cicada youth thought for a moment and said aloud, But I will give it a try.

Since you asked me, then I will also ask you, have you ever wondered whether the path you are pursuing is right or wrong?

Lin Xun said with a smile, I have in the past.

He thought about the scenes he experienced in the ninth trial of the Great Azure Cloud Path. After more than twenty years of meditation and deep thoughts in the reincarnation trial, he finally understood one thing.

False is true, yet isnt real. From nothing to reality, then to nothingness. In the illusory reality of truth and falsehood, I am real, and that means the great dao is real.

He did not stumble at all when the golden cicada youth asked him that question.

Seeing the clear and calm gaze of Lin Xun, the golden cicada young man couldnt help clapping his hands and smiling, Not bad, not bad, no wonder you dared to cultivate all three supreme paths at the same time. It turns out that you have already been enlightened.

He rose from the stone steps. You must have come here to overcome the Taboo Dao Tribulation and intend to become a Supreme Saint.

A thought struck Lin Xun. Elder, please give me some advice.

I cant guide you. You and I pursue different paths.

Later, why dont you check out the Ten Thousand Tribulation Palace by yourself.

Understanding dawned on Lin Xun right away. The opportunity to become an emperor might not be within his reach now, but in the palace may be a reachable opportunity for him to overcome the Taboo Dao Tribulation!

Then, he frowned. But I have not been chosen...

The golden cicada young man chuckled and pointed to the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps in front. The path is right in front of you, why dont you take it?

Lin Xun nodded and laughed at himself. I couldnt see the wood for the trees.

My little friend, please lend me the lamp.

The golden cicada young man looked at the Blameless Lamp.

Lin Xun handed it over, and the golden cicada youth smiled. With a raise of his finger, the wick suddenly glowed magnificently. The originally dim flicker of light became as dazzling as the great sun.

Vaguely, there was a blurry and distorted door within the bright firelight!

Go. Back then, you suffered the oppression of the prohibition in order to protect the Ten Thousand Tribulation Great Emperor. Today, I will use this little friends treasure to guide you back.

The golden cicada young man spoke in a deep voice, looking at the seven fierce creatures.

Boom!

The heart that was riddled with holes moved, transforming into an old man in daoist robes with jet-black hair and beard.

Thank you fellow cultivator. The old man visibly regained consciousness. He stared blankly for a moment and then saluted the golden cicada young man.

Immediately after that, he turned to Lin Xun, eyes swelling with gratitude. Little friend, please accept this. I will definitely repay your kindness one day!

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and a wisp of cloud condensed into a jade token, which he handed to Lin Xun with both hands.
