The Prodigies War

Chapter 2098: Boy Called Zhong Qiu with Dao Name Humble Jade

After emerging from the secret realm, the man took a gentle step forward.

The next moment, he was hovering above the vast starry sky with his hands behind his back as he quietly looked over the tremendous Ancient Nebula Underworld.

A long, long time ago, he already knew that the taboo law power from the other side of the cosmos could only shroud the Ancient Nebula Road, but not replace the origin law power that belonged to it.

In the uncharted lands that had yet to be explored in the Great Primordial Chaos World, origin law power also existed. This was why they could give birth to chaos treasures and dispel taboo law power.

He also knew that the two Calamities of Ruin that had occurred in the past resulted from the changes in the origin law power of the Ancient Nebula Road.

Furthermore, the third Calamity of Ruin that would happen in a year would be the final transformation of the origin law power of the Ancient Nebula Road!

That transformation was unstoppable and no one could stand in its way.

Not even the taboo law power controlled by Heavenly Emperor Shi could intervene!

The path of eternal supremacy, the nirvana of transcendence;

The endless calamity of ruin, the lotus blooms in solitude.

This was a daoist verse that had been circulating for years, but no one knew where it originated.

However, he knew.

This daoist verse was left by his master, the Master of Fangchun Mountain, in the primeval era.

He still remembered that his master had to pay an extremely heavy price to deduce the changes caused by the origin law power.

Otherwise, given his master’s cultivation, he would not have left like that...

Thinking of this, the man felt a wave of fear and unease that surged in his heart.

After a long period of silence, he drew a deep breath and his eyes regained a look of determination.

He had been in the Ancient Nebula Underworld for countless years and had never left, not even when that epic chess game broke out.

This was all to wait for the lotus that bloomed in solitude.

This was his master’s long-cherished wish.

“Lord.” A voice as resounding as thunder suddenly rang out, followed by a burly man of around ten feet tall appearing out of nowhere. Fierce black lightning crackled around him, and his every breath felt like the roar of thunder.

“Speak.”

The man had an indifferent look on his face as he stood in a relaxed manner, as if he was detached from the world.

“The operation is going smoothly. Heaven-Dooming Martial Emperor has obstructed Skyborne Sword Emperor.” The burly man reported respectfully, “It’s just that...there’s a little problem on Big Yellow’s side.” His expression twisted strangely.

The man seemed to have guessed something and asked, “Is that dog causing trouble again?”

The burly man nodded and continued with a wry smile, “Big Yellow chased Heavenly Buddha Emperor all the way into the territory of Earth Treasury Realm. Along the way it kept shouting that it’s rare that it gets to go out and it must get rid of all the baldies of Earth Treasury Realm...”

The man was taken aback for a moment, then a rare smile lit up his face. “Big Yellow knows me best. It knows that I hate those baldies the most.”

“Lord, I heard that the Earth Treasury Realm is going to send an Emperor Ancestor to deal with Big Yellow. I fear...” The burly man sounded worried.

The man interrupted, “When beating a dog, you have to check who its owner is first. Would they dare to kill Big Yellow?”

“But...they all said that you have angered Heavenly Emperor Shi ​​and that you have gone into hiding, so you won’t dare to show up in the Ancient Nebula Underworld again.”

The man was silent for a moment before he said, “They are right. I will not appear in the next year or so. Tell Big Yellow that if it dares to ruin my plan, I will make it into a stew.”

Make into a stew…

When the burly man thought of the innumerable rare ingredients and treasures that the big yellow dog had devoured over the years, and of its juicy and tender meat, he almost salivated.

Ever since Big Yellow had joined Copper Sparrow House, they had not eaten dog meat...

The reason for it was very simple. Anyone who was caught eating dog meat would be viciously torn apart by the crazy Big Yellow. After all, Big Yellow possessed abnormal strength and several people of the Copper Sparrow House have had the painful experience of being chased and bitten.

The burly man quietly swallowed his saliva and said, “Lord, I will definitely pass on your response.”

He then hurried away.

“In the past year, I have protected you from the wind and rain. After one year, if you still can’t obtain my approval...”

The man gazed at the Ancient Nebula Underworld.

“Then you are not worthy of being the junior brother of I, Zhong Qiu.”

……

In the primeval era.

There was a boy named Zhong Qiu, who was born with an unyielding pride. The master of Fangchun Mountain accepted him as his second disciple and gave him the daoist name Qianyu (humble jade).

A humble and modest gentleman as gentle as jade.

It was a pity that Zhong Qiu had nothing to do with being a humble gentleman. Since he started cultivating, he had no idea what humility was.

He was too arrogant. Some said that his pride knew no bounds, others said he considered everyone beneath him, and some others said that he was too insufferably arrogant and would meet with disaster sooner or later…

Because he was too prideful, the master of Fangchun Mountain made an exception and took back his daoist name. He smiled and said, “Zhong Qiu’s pride is like his heart. As his cultivation grows, so does the pride in his heart. This can’t be changed, but there is also no need to change it...”

From then on, among the disciples of Fangchun Mountain, he was the most prideful man.

In the eyes of the world, there was no one more prideful than the Lord of Copper Sparrow House in Ancient Nebula Underworld.

Ultimately, unless something unexpected happened, the word ‘pride’ would define Zhong Qiu’s life.

……

There were thirty-three regions in the Ancient Nebula Underworld, with the Frosty Air Region being one of them.

After suppressing Emperor Baqi, Lin Xun left Frosty Air Region and, after half a month of constant travel, he arrived at Qingfeng Region.

In a canyon enveloped in sinister fog.

He sat down cross-legged and activated dao rune arrays to block off attacks from the sinister fog.

After spending half a month refining precious herbs and elixirs, he had restored his cultivation that had been drained by the use of his Time Stopping powers. His snow-white hair reverted to black, and his qi was back to its peak state.

Yezi went into closed-door cultivation in the sword box, Wuque returned to the No-Nonsense Bow, and the Broken Blade spirit also returned to the Broken Blade.

The three weapon spirits played crucial roles in the battle against Emperor Baqi, but they also suffered serious damage as a result.

Their vital energy was still recovering, and the battle had set them back to square one.

They would not be able to assist Lin Xun any time soon.

However, Lin Xun was not worried.

If his opponent this time was not Emperor Baqi, but other eighth realm Emperors, he would not have fought so desperately.

Therefore, such desperate battles were unlikely to happen again.

Hu—

After a long time, he woke up from meditation. Feeling the surging power around him and the roaring qi within his body, he exhaled.

He had finally fully recovered!

Without further hesitation, he took out the Dao Endless Pagoda, and with one thought—Bang!

The imprisoned Emperor Baqi fell to the ground, his breathing faint and weak. He awoke from his unconscious state, but his qi was entirely drained.

When he regained his vision, he saw Lin Xun standing in front of him and he couldn’t help but say in a hoarse voice, “Little bastard, you can’t stand it and want to ask me to tell you the truth about back then, am I right?”

“Ask?” Lin Xun shook his head. “No, I would never believe what comes out of your mouth.”

As he spoke, he flicked his finger, and wisps of ethereal azure light sprinkled down like a misty rain.

Baqi’s pupils shrank, and panic flooded his heart. “If you think you can search my spirit, then you are deluded. Don’t forget that I am an eighth realm Emperor. With just one thought, I can crush your spirit power!”

Lin Xun seemed to not hear him, and just lightly pressed his fingertip on the center of Baqi’s eyebrows.

If Baqi still had his spirit and will, he could no doubt kill Lin Xun in a flash.

Unfortunately for him, the spirit of the Broken Blade had already crushed his spirit, and his cultivation had been destroyed. All he had left was a wisp of remnant spirit, and it was firmly imprisoned.

In Lin Xun’s eyes, Baqi was no longer an eighth realm Emperor with almighty powers, but a lamb to be slaughtered.

“Little bastard, be careful or you may end up losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken! How can a trash like you shake the will of an Emperor?”

Baqi’s eyes were about to burst. The bad feeling in his heart grew stronger and stronger, and he could no longer hold back and let out a hoarse roar.

Soon, his expression dramatically changed. “What power is this? How can it penetrate my mind...

“No—!”

His voice was tinged with fury, but before he could say anything, his head snapped to one side and he fell into a strange state of sleep.

It was as though he was being hypnotized.

Lin Xun withdrew his finger. This was a mysterious technique of his Senior Sister Ruo Su, called the Great Autumnal Dream.

It could put the opponent into an unconscious state, thus making them lose all resistance.

Buzz!

Lin Xun took a deep breath before he folded his hands into a strange hand seal. Then, an invisible force rushed out and penetrated Baqi’s body.

Suddenly, countless fragmented scenes appeared in front of Lin Xun’s folded hands, flashing by like a light show.

This was another secret technique called the Genesis Heart Seal, which could awaken all the memories and experiences in an opponent’s spirit and mind, and transform them into scenes.

The scenes that appeared in front of Lin Xun at this moment were from Baqi’s memory.

As an eighth realm Emperor, he had lived in the world for countless years and had experienced countless events in the world. His memory was no doubt huge.

After the time it took to burn an entire incense stick, Lin Xun finally found some of the ‘truths’ that he wanted to know!

He finally learned that Baqi was ordered to destroy the Great Emperor Pass.

The main battlefield of the Dao War of Ten Directions was at the Ancient Wasteland Domain’s Great Emperor Pass, which was known as the number one heavenly barrier of the Ancient Wasteland Domain that blocked all Emperors...

Once one destroyed the Great Emperor Pass, one could take control of the Ancient Wasteland Domain, which was known as the origin of all daos.

He also learned that the lower domain world that he was familiar with was transformed from the origin power of the Ancient Wasteland Domain, which was shattered in the Dao War of Ten Directions...

When he saw the scene of Baqi taking Yun Qingbai into the lower domain world and arriving at the Ziyao Empire, his hands clenched uncontrollably, and his usually unshakable heart tensed up inexplicably.

He had already guessed the truth about the Lin Clan massacre, but it was, after all, speculation, and he had not truly witnessed the horrific scenes that happened back.

And now, the scenes were about to be presented to him one by one from Baqi’s memory!
