The Prodigies War-Chapter 2807 Fortune Starry Firmament
Among the hundreds of epochal worlds within the Fortune Dominion, the World of the Divine was the strongest. It was also considered the oldest, and the three major divine clans that inhabited it dominated the top three among the divine clans in the Fortune Dominion.
These three clans were the Jiang, Gaoyang, and Ji Clans. In addition, the World of the Divine also contained many other divine clans, but they were all vassals of these three. Compared to other epochal worlds, the World of the Divine was undoubtedly the most supreme and powerful, and could be considered the number one domain of the Fortune Dominion.
Lin Xun now understood this, but he had never come into contact with anyone or anything related to the World of the Divine. However, he had never imagined that long ago, Xia Zhi's true form had walked through there and was even revered as the Eternal Night Divine Emperor!
In addition, the terrifying beings who had taken advantage of her calamity and attempted to steal her fortune all came from that very same epoch. Undoubtedly, these perpetrators were closely tied to the Jiang, Gaoyang, and Ji clans!
Furthermore, according to Thirteen, before that calamity hit her, Xia Zhi's true power was more than enough to easily slay the terrifying beings that pursued her. From this, it can be inferred that her cultivation at that time must have been incredibly powerful, which was why she was called the Eternal Night Divine Emperor.
However, despite knowing all of this now, Lin Xun felt increasingly confused. All of these were merely fragments of Xia Zhi's past; her true origins and name remained a mystery.
Unfortunately, Thirteen didn't know any of this either. This left Lin Xun stunned. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Senior, you said before that your master came to the Fortune Divine City to find out who created this Fortune Starry Firmament, is that right?"
Thirteen said, "That's right."
Lin Xun fell into thought. Thirteen had previously mentioned that during the years that Xia Zhi’s true form had traveled through the World of the Divine, she had been avoiding or perhaps searching for something. In addition, whatever she was seeking was most likely related to the supreme being who had created the Fortune Starry Firmament!
Back when he was at Misty Moon Lake, Lin Xun had read through various ancient texts, learning a lot about the Fortune Starry Firmament. Unfortunately, without exception, none of them mentioned the identity of that supreme being who created it, making them seem like a vague legend.
However, what was certain was that Xia Zhi herself had also been searching for this supreme being! Alas, on her way to Fortune Divine City, she had encountered a great disaster and ultimately failed to achieve her wish.
At this moment, Thirteen suddenly asked, "Have you...found a way to revive my master?"
Lin Xun fell silent under his gaze that was as cold as ice.
Seeing this, Thirteen's expression suddenly shifted to one of indescribable loneliness and melancholy. He said, "I have waited here for countless years in hiding, hoping for the day the lord would awaken. I wanted to tell her that the answer she so desperately sought must be hidden within this Fortune Starry Firmament. But I also have a feeling that she... may never wake up again..."
Lin Xun couldn't help but ask, "Why do you think so?"
Thirteen responded, "The lines she left in the Eternal Night Divine Hall in the Flowing Light Forbidden Realm says it all."
Lin Xun couldn't help but recall those words again.
This body has wandered for so long, with no one to lean on. If fate allows, I will sever this body’s past, and never again endure the pain of darkness and loneliness...
If fate allows, I will sever this body’s past! This was the decision that Xia Zhi’s true form had come to back then.
Lin Xun asked, "Senior, since you know the answer your master seeks is hidden within the Fortune Starry Firmament, why don't you seek it out?"
Thirteen shook his head. "I have spent countless years contemplating it, yet I cannot decipher the ultimate secret."
"I see..." Lin Xun pondered. After a long pause, he said, "I have brought the Fortune Sword and the Eternity Coffin with me, but I cannot return them to you yet. However, I can promise that before I leave the Fortune Dominion, I will not only leave the treasures behind, but I will also provide you with a clear answer."
Without fully understanding Xia Zhi's true self’s background and origins, Lin Xun was unable to reveal the truth, nor could he share it with her.
Thirteen stared at Lin Xun and said, "I don't care about those two treasures at all. They were originally left by the lord for someone who could 'free her from the suffering of darkness and loneliness.' What I care about is whether she has a chance of waking up. Until I get that answer, I will wait here."
Lin Xun took a deep breath and said, "It's possible!"
Thirteen was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly lost control of himself and excitedly asked, "What did you just say?"
"I said, your lord does have a chance of waking up." Lin Xun continued, "Before we leave the Fortune Dominion, I will give you a clear answer."
Thirteen abruptly grabbed Lin Xun's collar and angrily said, "What are you still waiting for? Why don't you tell me now? I..."
He was out of control, like a deranged madman.
Lin Xun looked at him quietly and said, "Senior, you've waited so long. Are you...truly ready to face the answer? If she truly has severed her past and can never awaken again, how will you cope?"
Thirteen panted rapidly for a long time before slowly loosening his grip on Lin Xun's collar. He slowly sat back down on the cushion. His anger and frenzy had subsided.
However, his expression was complex, filled with anticipation, trepidation, and an indescribable hint of frustration. Yes, after waiting for countless years, if the answer he awaited wasn't what he wanted, how could he face it?
"It seems there's no chance you'll ever leave the Fortune Dominion." Thirteen said in a deep voice, "I know everything that's happened since you entered the city. Those divine clans won't give you a chance to leave.
"Furthermore, as rumors spread, when those old bastards from the World of the Divine learn that the Eternity Coffin left by the master is in your possession, they'll surely come after you in the same way they acted towards the lord.
"With their methods, even if you stay in Fortune Divine City, you're doomed to be in danger. You could be killed at any moment." After saying this, Thirteen couldn't help but sigh. "How could you possibly leave under these circumstances?"
Lin Xun said calmly, "Everything depends on one’s effort. Perhaps a chance will appear. At least in Fortune Divine City, even if I encounter danger, I have a way to deal with it."
Thirteen was silent for a moment and then said, "I'll await your answer."
...
Late at night, Lin Xun returned to Misty Moon Lake and was unable to calm down for a long time. The information he gained from this meeting with Thirteen made him increasingly aware of Xia Zhi's true form’s origins and background. This, in turn, caused him to struggle and hesitate.
No matter what, I must give Xia Zhi an answer before I leave!
After a long moment, Lin Xun suppressed his chaotic thoughts, his mind gradually calming down. That night, he told his parents to cultivate peacefully within the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron while they were still in the Fortune Dominion. This would also prevent the enemy from taking advantage of a weak point and harming them.
The next day, Lin Xun rose from his meditation and headed towards the Fortune Starry Firmament. The cultivators who had been stalking the area near Misty Moon Lake immediately noticed his movements.
"What's that Lin Xun guy up to today?"
"It seems he's heading to the Fortune Starry Firmament."
"He's so laid back. Doesn't he know that many of the divine clans have already sent their divine sons and daughters to deal with him?"
"He possesses the Fortune Sword. Rumors claim that capturing him will yield the Eternity Coffin. The Fortune Dominion is now in turmoil across all epochal worlds."
"It's foreseeable that before long, Fortune Divine City will become a gathering place for all people of note. By then, this Lin Xun guy will be doomed to be in grave danger."
Whispers rang out all around him, but Lin Xun ignored them. Soon, he arrived at the location of the Fortune Starry Firmament. It was an extremely vast plain, barren of any vegetation. The ground was hard, paved with a layer of solid black divine stone.
The sky was dotted with dense, brilliant stars, each imbued with a distinct aura of the great dao. They quietly hovered there like celestial lanterns, shedding a completely different divine radiance of the dao that permeated this vast expanse of heaven and earth.
This was the Fortune Starry Firmament! Each star bore the imprint of a complete cultivation system, so this place encompassed hundreds of epochal civilizations across the ages!
When Lin Xun arrived, numerous figures were already meditating on the ground paved with black divine stone. Some frowned in deep thought, while others were transcribing something. Some remained motionless, while others scratched their heads... Their expressions varied.
The atmosphere was solemn and hushed. Gazing at this magnificent scene, Lin Xun, for some reason, felt a surge of admiration for the supreme being who had personally created the Fortune Starry Firmament
That person had recorded cultivation systems that spanned hundreds of epochs, and unreservedly offered this place to future generations to allow them to observe them and reflect upon them. What vision and courage they must have had!
However, when Lin Xun arrived, he caused a commotion.
"It's that thug surnamed Lin!"
"Oh my god, why is he..."
"What kind of dao can we comprehend now? Let’s get out of here, or else we’ll find ourselves mired with trouble!"
Many cultivators froze, rising from their meditation sessions. Some even left, seemingly fearing any trouble. This showed that although Lin Xun had only been in Fortune Divine City for two days, his reputation as a formidable figure had already spread deeply. This left him speechless.
"I'm really here to comprehend the great dao here. There's no need to panic."
After saying that, Lin Xun found a random spot and sat down cross-legged, ignoring the reactions of those around him. His mind remained calm, his consciousness reaching out to the heavens. Suddenly, he sensed hundreds of distinct auras of the great dao, each with its own mysteries.
Among them, there was also a familiar aura of the great dao. With a brief intuition, he understood that the cultivation system imprinted on one of the stars belonged to the epoch civilization of the Great Qin Divine Domain.
"Senior Thirteen said that the answer that Xia Zhi’s true form had so desperately sought must be within this Fortune Starry Firmament. I want to see if it's true..." Lin Xun muttered to himself.
