The Prodigies War

When they decided to leave Ziniu Mountain, the pig monster looked very upset and lonely and wanted to bid Xia Xiaochong farewell with a big hug.

When he spread his arms wide, Lin Xun sent him flying across the air with a kick. Whimpering, he rubbed his buttocks with a grimace. The sadness had completely faded from his face.

“If you don’t leave now, I’m going to make you into a stew!” Lin Xun glowered at the pig monster.

“Young Master, people’s hearts are made of flesh. We are going to part soon, why are you being so heartless?” the pig monster sighed melancholically.

Lin Xun snorted coldly and then said to Xia Xiaochong, “Go and start a fire. Let’s have a good meal first before we leave.”

Swoosh!

Before he finished, the pig monster had vanished in a cloud of dust. He bolted with such unbelievable speed that both Lin Xun and Xia Xiaochong were left in a daze.

Xia Xiaochong wrinkled her nose and remarked, “That pig is so shameless and lustful, and has no morals and integrity at all. If my master met him, she would definitely castrate him because she detests perverts the most in this world.”

Lin Xun nodded in agreement as he listened to Xia Xiaochong’s evaluation of the pig monster, but he couldn’t help but inhale sharply at the end of the sentence. He became a little hesitant at the prospect of visiting Xia Xiaochong’s master in the future.

……

Fire Spirit Province.

It was incomparably vast, as huge as a world. Its territory spanned countless mountains and thousands of cities, and it provided residence to tens of millions of living beings.

In addition to the renowned seven major forces, the four sects and three clans, there were also many other forces, clans and groups in the Fire Spirit Province.

The land of one province alone was greater than all the territory of the Ziyao Empire!

But in the West Infinity World, thousands of provinces were bigger than the Fire Spirit Province and many more were more prosperous!

This comparison was enough to show how vast the Ancient Wasteland Domain was, which included the East Victory World, West Infinity World, South Wonder World, and North Dipper World. It could almost be described as boundless.

After all, up to now, even the remarkable figures who had set foot onto the saint path hadn’t been able to find out where the borders of the Ancient Wasteland Domain were...

Lin Xun couldn’t help marveling when he learned about the vastness of the Ancient Wasteland Domain. He finally understood why the successors from the Heaven Axis Holy Land, Spirit Treasure Holy Land, and Omega Sword Sect exuded a sense of superiority when they came to the lower domain world.

When compared to the Ancient Wasteland Domain, the Ziyao Empire was indeed too insignificant and poor.

Lin Xun knew very well that the territory of one Fire Spirit Province was much greater than that of the Ziyao Empire. However, in terms of true power, the Fire Spirit Province couldn’t be compared to the Ziyao Empire in many ways.

For example, there were no true Life Death Stage Kings watching over the seven great forces of the Fire Spirit Province.

However, in the empire, the emperor, empress, Heavenly Seer from the stargazing platform and the principal of Qinglu Academy were all terrifying existences with astonishing powers and abilities.

In addition to them, many true Life Death Stage Kings existed among the seven high clans

That fact alone indicated that, although the Ziyao Empire may be located in the lower domain world, a barren land in the cultivation world, it possessed a frightening foundation unknown to outsiders.

……

Flame Capital.

The core area of the Fire Spirit Province was a place that countless cultivators yearned to train in, and every day, endless cultivators would come here from all over the Fire Spirit Province.

The reason for that was very simple. The four major sects of the Fire Spirit Province, the Thousand Illusions Sect, the Pine Sword Sect, the Spirit Pearl Sect, and the Twofold Mystery Sect, and the three major clans, the Liu, Wen and Xiao, were all established there.

At the peak of noon, the Flame Capital was bustling with endless streams of people, horses and carriages.

Lin Xun and Xia Xiaochong strolled along the spacious and busy streets.

The buildings in Flame Capital all had a bright, fiery-red hue. Looking down from the sky, the whole city resembled a tremendous flame crystal.

Rumor had it that, a long time ago, a chaos fire vein buried deep underground in Flame Capital gave birth to a scarlet flame dragon that achieved the dao one morning and transcended the world. It became known as the Flame Dragon True God to the world.

Of course, it was only a legend so no one could know whether it was true or not, but it was precisely this legend that gave Flame Capital a mysterious cultivation appeal.

“A high-quality, blood-spitting cultivation cave on the Xuekong Mountain is for sale. Inside is an aeth spring, five acres of aeth fields, and a medicine garden. It only costs eight thousand mid-grade aeth essences!”

“Here’s some extremely good news! Ten days from now, the thirty-seventh generation successor of the Twofold Mystery Sect will give a lecture in the Cloud Sun Martial Hall on special invitation. The registration fee is only one hundred low-grade aeth essences!”

“Look, take a look, this is the Ruyi Treasure Pill made using the secret recipe handed down my Azure Sparrow Clan. It only costs nine hundred and ninety-eight low-grade aeth essence! What? You haven’t heard of this before? Fellow cultivator, you are too ill-informed. In ancient times, our family’s Ruyi Treasure Pill was an elixir popular all over the world. Even one can make you stay youthful forever! Hey, fellow cultivator, where are you going in such a hurry? Even if you don’t need it, you should buy one to please your girlfriend. If the price is a problem, I am happy to negotiate...”

All sorts of yelling and hawking rang one after another, echoing through the sky and streets. It was an eye-opening experience for Lin Xun.

He found that among the traders were creatures from unusual races and clans!

A successor of the Sea Horned Beast Clan was selling various elixirs to passing cultivators with a wide smile. With a single horn on his head and his face framed with algae hair, he caught the eye of many passersby.

A group of little blue butterfly girls were fluttering across the street, selling the specialty product of their Blue Butterfly Clan, the hundred aroma fruit honey. The girls were all only the size of a palm and they were each carrying a dainty, coin-sized flower basket.

Not far away, bursts of deep and melodious musical instruments were accompanied by passionate singing.

It was a group of musicians from the Sound Map Clan. They were dressed in animal skin clothes embroidered with patterns such as flowers, birds, insects and fish. Although they were copper-skinned and ugly in appearance, they all looked earnest and peaceful.

They were seen as wanderers in the cultivation world. They entered the dao through music and traveled all over the world to seek the dao.

In addition to them, there were descendants of the Azure Sparrow Clan who were born alchemists, and also descendants of the Cloud Dream Clan who were experts in weaving clothes. It was an eye-opening experience for Lin Xun.

The Ancient Wasteland Domain was known to accommodate tens of thousands of clans and races. That was no exaggeration.

“Brothers, I just found a piece of earth-shaking treasure a few days ago. It is a piece of Sun Root left by a Cyclic Derivation cultivator of the Dragon Elephant Clan! I believe it will produce unbelievable effects if you take it as a supplement! If you want it, I can sell it to you for a very cheap price.” A shifty man snuck over. His mung bean-sized eyes, trimmed mustache, and shell on his back added a unique creepy appearance to him.

He was a descendant of the Wolf Tortoise Clan. He was easy to identify because the clan was well-known in the cultivation world for their grave-digging activities. They were called grave robbers in the cultivation world.

Dragon Elephant Clan?

Sun Root?

Lin Xun furrowed his brows.

But before he could say anything, the man screamed strangely and disappeared into the sea of people without a trace.

Not long after that, the ground quaked, and a group of mighty ten-foot-tall men stormed the street like little hills, causing a panic in the street.

They seemed to be fuming with anger as if they were searching for something.

“Damn it, where did that grave robber go? How dare he dig up my grandfather’s tomb and take my grandfather’s roots? He deserves to die!” bellowed a youngster, his eyes blazing with anger.

Lin Xun hurriedly avoided the area. He recognized the group of giants—they were successors of the Dragon Elephant Clan!

They clearly came to capture the man from the Wolf Tortoise Clan.

He shuddered at the thought that the Sun Root that the other person had been trying to sell him had been taken from the grave of a Dragon Elephant Clan expert!

“Big Brother Lin Xun, I’m going back to see my master now, do you want to come with me?” Xia Xiaochong mumbled with her mouth full. She was chewing on a skewer of grilled snow mutton. Her cheeks were still stuffed, and her small lips were glistening with a sheen of oil when she asked Lin Xun.

“I’ll wait for you here,” Lin Xun answered.

He knew that the training competition held by the four sects and three clans in the Fire Spirit Province had come to an end today.

Now, Xia Xiaochong’s master was likely with the big shots of the four sects and three clans so Lin Xun didn’t think it was a good idea to meet her now.

After all, he had taught Mo Feng and the others from the Spirit Pearl Sect a lesson when he was in Ziniu Mountain. If he went with Xia Xiaochong, there could be unnecessary troubles when he ran into them.

“Okay.” Xia Xiaochong nodded.

The two arranged to meet back up at a certain place. When Xia Xiaochong left, Lin Xun wandered the Flame Capital by himself.

It was his first time in the Ancient Wasteland Domain. He had to familiarize himself with everything as soon as possible and integrate into this world. One had to have a grasp of mundane affairs to understand the world.

“Have you heard? The land of opportunity in the depths of Ziniu Mountain has attracted the attention of more and more powerful experts. I heard that many people from other provinces are also going there.”

“In half a year, the Dao Lantern Festival will kick off on Cangwu Mountain. This lantern festival is said to be an unprecedentedly grand event and will attract many top talents and geniuses in the West Infinity World. Unfortunately, we are far from being qualified to participate.”

“Argh! Just now, Fang Linhan, the successor of Eight Extremes Blade Temple, once again had ten consecutive wins in the martial arena! He even arrogantly said that no one among the younger generation of cultivators in the Fire Spirit Province is worthy to fight against him!”

Although Lin Xun was wandering the street, a lot of news and rumors caught his attention, almost all of which were recent sensational incidents in the Fire Spirit Province.

He listened with great enjoyment. It wasn’t until several hours later that he returned along the street and came to an inn.

This was where he and Xia Xiaochong agreed to meet up.

However, the moment he stepped inside, he heard another racket.

“So what if he is a successor of the Eight Extremes Blade Temple?! How dare he underestimate the younger generation of cultivators in the Fire Spirit Province! Fang Linhan, if you have the guts then come out and fight me right now?!”
