The Prodigies War

Everyone then realized that after entering the Nirvana of Transcendence, it meant the journey to nirvana had already begun and there was no turning back!

Lin Xun sent a voice transmission to Xuan Jiuyin and the others, “After entering the cycle of reincarnation, I will do my best to find you guys.”

At the same time, experts from different factions were discussing their strategies.

However, no matter how much they discussed it, they still felt uncertain and uneasy.

This was because no one knew what kind of place the True Martial World was once they entered the cycle of reincarnation or what sort of identity they would appear as upon entering.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere turned tense and serious.

“The cycle of reincarnation begins.”

As the figure formed from law power spoke aloud, a terrifying sweeping force suddenly emerged between heaven and earth, enveloping everyone present.

The next second, they were all engulfed and carried into the depths of the grand, mysterious palace.

Before Lin Xun could regain his vision, a strange power of time and reincarnation surged forth, carrying him like a piece of duckweed adrift in the torrent of time.

The colorful, distorted, and shimmering flow of time turned into rippling waves, churning endlessly.

Gradually, Lin Xun’s consciousness began to blur...

Faintly, he felt a scorching heat spreading across his chest, and a mysterious power seemed to be awakening within his Origin Aeth Artery.

Unfortunately, when he tried to sense it, his consciousness fell into utter darkness.

……

In the Nirvana of Transcendence, in a vast wilderness beneath the starry sky, figures of Emperors appeared one after another.

Each wore a bewildered expression and stood poised for battle, exuding a terrifying, monstrous aura.

They came from various different worlds across the starry sky, and most of them were above the first level Emperor Stage and below the sixth level Emperor Stage!

“Where is this place?”

Many of them released their spirit sense to survey and investigate the area.

“I can feel that this world is shrouded by the origin law power that belongs to the Ancient Nebula Road, which is completely different from the taboo law power!” An old antique’s eyes were ablaze.

“After surveying the area, I found that this wasteland is sealed by a law power that even our strength can’t break,” someone said solemnly.

“Doesn’t this mean that this world is like a cage, keeping us trapped here?” someone asked with a worried expression.

The atmosphere also turned oppressive.

Suddenly, a vast and continuous great wall appeared above, stretching across the starry sky like an iron chain cutting off this area from the rest of the world.

The great wall was towering and majestic, with fortresses spaced along its lengths. Its walls were stained with mottled blood, radiating a feeling of age and history.

The stars seemed tiny, like a cluster of fireflies, in the presence of the great wall that seemed to stretch endlessly into the sky.

It was not that the stars were tiny, but that the wall was too vast!

“Could this be the Great Emperor Pass in the Ancient Wasteland Domain?” an old antique suggested.

Legend had it that the Ancient Wasteland Domain, the place of origin of all Heavenly Daos, had a great wall that spanned multiple worlds. Since ancient times, it had been known as the number one heavenly barrier that could stop Emperors.

According to rumors, the Dao War of Ten Directions that occurred in the primeval period happened at the Great Emperor Pass!

“Impossible, this is the Nirvana of Transcendence, formed from the origin law power of the starry sky world. Why would the Great Emperor Pass of the Ancient Wasteland Domain appear here?” Someone immediately dismissed it.

At this moment, all the Emperors, gazing at the towering, vast, and endless great wall stretching across the starry sky, felt their hearts churn within their chests.

The great wall was mottled with bloodstains, exuding an ancient and timeworn aura. Its walls bore the scars of countless battles: hand prints as huge as mountains, thousand-foot long sword marks, impact craters of giant bells, and scorch marks left by divine flames.

It was a truly terrifying sight!

“Nirvana begins at this very moment.” As a voice echoed, beneath the starry sky, law power gathered on the great wall to form an illusory figure.

Startled, all the Emperors present turned their gazes in that direction.

It’s finally here!

With their powers, they could naturally tell that the illusory figure was formed from the law power of this world and was not a true spirit entity.

“From this moment, everyone must enter the Great Wall of Thousand Daos and each defend a fortress.

“At that time, you will face attacks from beasts from the depths of the starry sky and invasions from sky demons from outer domains. Your task is to defend the fortresses and guard the Great Wall of Thousand Daos.

“You will be given ten years.

“In the Great Wall of Thousand Daos, you all have an opportunity to break through and undergo transformation to achieve Nirvana. However, if you fail, it will mean utter destruction...”

The voice of the law power figure echoed, striking all the Emperors into stunned silence.

Even before arriving, they already knew that the Nirvana of Transcendence was riddled with dangers and they were likely to be targeted by beasts from the starry sky and sky demons from outer domains.

Unfortunately, they hadn’t expected to be thrown into such a dangerous test the moment they arrived!

For a moment, their expressions constantly changed, and some almost burst into curses. Is this the journey to nirvana?

They felt more like they were being captured and sent to the front line to die!

“I have roamed the starry sky for years, when have I ever been treated like this? I refuse to walk the journey to nirvana!” Someone shouted aggressively as they teleported into the distance.

Boom!

A divine chain of law power descended from above, instantly binding and imprisoning the old monster with a cultivation base at the sixth level Emperor Stage.

The figure’s voice rang again, devoid of emotion, “From the moment you stepped into this world, the journey to nirvana has already begun. There is no turning back.”

At this moment, all the Emperors present realized that, whether they were willing or not, there was no escaping this test!

……

The True Martial World.

Great Qian Dynasty, Dragon Abyss City.

The Su Clan.

Early in the morning, Su Qinghan, the third young master of the Su Clan, pushed open his door and stepped out of his room. He stood alone in the courtyard, gazing at the sky in a daze.

The courtyard was tranquil and serene with lush greenery and plants.

In a corner of the courtyard stood a Zhongnan Green Bamboo, the favorite of the third young master of the Su Clan. Its soft green leaves swayed gently in the morning breeze, producing a calming rustling sound.

No one was aware that when the third young master of the Su Clan woke up this morning, his body had been occupied by a completely different soul.

“This…is the True Martial World…” Lin Xun exhaled, his eyes gradually regaining their clarity.

From the moment he entered the cycle of reincarnation and came to the True Martial World, his consciousness had already been awakened!

This surprised even himself, as his second senior brother had mentioned that the most challenging step after undergoing reincarnation was ‘awakening.’

There was even a high chance that one might never awaken and be forever lost in the world of reincarnation!

Evidently, this most difficult step posed no challenge to Lin Xun at all.

“Could it be because I have already experienced reincarnation before and have realized the profound meaning of ‘great dao is reality’ within the realm of reality and illusion?”

Lin Xun pondered and felt that all this was related to the fact that he had experienced reincarnation when he underwent the trials of the Omega Secret-Realm.

Only through experience could one awaken so quickly.

“Third Young Master, you got up really early today.” A cute and energetic young girl with her hair tied into two buns and bright eyes walked into the courtyard, carrying a copper basin, a towel, and a toothbrush.

“Leave it there, I’ll wash up myself,” Lin Xun said nonchalantly.

The young girl was Su Qinghan’s personal maid, named Qing Zhu. She had grown up alongside Su Qinghan, and though they were master and servant in name, but in reality, their relationship was more like that of siblings

While Lin Xun occupied Su Qinghan’s body, he also inherited his memories, so he did not act unnaturally in front of Qing Zhu.

“Okay, then I’ll go prepare breakfast.” Qing Zhu turned and left with a smile.

While washing up, Lin Xun began to sort out the memories of the real Su Qinghan.

In this world known as the True Martial World, it was divided into three great dynasties: Great Gan, Great Chu and Great Wei.

Within the territories of each dynasty were numerous clans practicing martial arts, each ranked according to its strength.

The Su Clan was one of such clans in Dragon Abyss City within the Great Qian Dynasty, and its power could only be considered second-rate.

In Dragon Abyss City, there were as many as seven to eight clans like the Su Clan.

There were only two clans in Dragon Abyss City that were considered top-tier clans...

Lin Xun had no interest in the rankings of the clans so he swept the information aside.

What caught his interest was the fact that Su Qinghan, despite being the third son of the Su Clan’s head, had yet to embark on the path of cultivation, even at the age of fourteen.

Very quickly, understanding dawned on him.

In the True Martial World, the True Martial Stage was the highest cultivation stage!

Ninety percent of the people in this world were ordinary people, and only a handful were able to embark on the cultivation path.

For example, the Su Clan, a second-rate force among martial arts clans, consisted of hundreds of clan members, but only a dozen had actually embarked on the path of cultivation.

Unfortunately, due to his weak constitution and insufficient vital energy since he was a child, Su Qinghan had attempted many times but had never succeeded in stepping onto the path of cultivation.

Lin Xun noticed that the Su Clan did not lack cultivation techniques. Within Su Qinghan’s memory were multiple sets of meditation, breathing, and qi refining techniques.

What surprised him was that the majority of those cultivation techniques were by no means ordinary. They could be considered superior foundation cultivation techniques even in the Ancient Nebula Road.

This suggested that the reason why Su Qinghan had failed to embark on the cultivation path was not because of the lack of cultivation techniques.

Moreover, since a young age, Su Qinghan had consumed numerous aeth herbs. Of course, to Lin Xun, those so-called aeth herbs were only the most basic herbs for building one’s foundation.

However, for someone who did not cultivate, those aeth herbs were incredibly precious.

Over the years, the aeth herbs used on Su Qinghan alone accounted for one-third of the aeth herbs purchased by the Su Clan annually!

This meant that Su Qinghan did not lack cultivation resources.

Simply speaking, Su Qinghan, despite being the third young master of the Su Clan, was unable to practice cultivation and was no different from an ordinary person, earning him little respect.

He had no part in clan affairs.

Fortunately, or perhaps precisely because he was unable to practice cultivation, his father, mother, and two elder brothers doted on him and cared deeply for him, allowing him to lead a peaceful and worry-free life.

He would occasionally feel down, believing he was useless and unable to support his parents and elder brothers due to his inability to cultivate.

After all, youngsters often refused to accept their own mediocrity.
