The Prodigies War-Chapter 2814 Piercing Through the Mystery
Lin Xun quietly closed his eyes and began to re-deduce the one hundred cultivation systems in the star dome using the dao of runes.
Each system was the crystallized wisdom of a cultivation civilization, but in the final analysis, they were all derived from the heavenly principles. In Lin Xun's mind, they were taking the shapes of different rune charts whose trajectories were outlined by the profound mysteries they contained...
In short, what he was doing was to copy different cultivation systems with runes and then deduce them with rune knowledge. There were around a hundred cultivation systems, each of which was unique but still able to be converted into runes. This art could in turn act as a medium to bridge a connection.
It was equivalent to stringing together scattered beads to make a necklace. The ultimate goal was to link all the hundreds of epochal cultivation systems into one big system!
When this realization had struck Lin Xun earlier, he had been shaken to his core, vaguely fathoming the purpose of that supreme being by creating this Fortune Starry Firmament.
If this could be accomplished, then it would be the same as grasping a power that could dominate all the hundreds of epochal cultivation systems!
Therefore, Lin Xun now looked at the star dome with a new understanding: In the eyes of that supreme being, each epochal cultivation system was a star. Creating a space capable of encompassing them was precisely that figure's ultimate goal!
With this enlightenment, Lin Xun went back to deduce the epochal cultivation systems with a brand new state of mind.
......
Another year had passed.
Lin Xun, who was meditating alone in silence, suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the sky. At the same time, several fist-sized rune charts appeared in front of him, each glowing brightly with completely different dao auras.
“Huh?!”
Many cultivators in the vicinity noticed this scene and were taken aback. What is Lin Xun trying to do?
For six years, he had been meditating here, ignoring worldly affairs and conflicts. Today was the first time in six years that people had seen him make a move.
Around a hundred rune diagrams rapidly emerged around him, crystalline and brilliant as they each radiated a unique aura of the great dao. Right after, these diagrams abruptly turned into light streaks shooting up at the tranquil star dome. They proceeded to light it up like blazing torches!
The sudden brightening of the space stung the eyes of everyone present, and they were quickly astounded.
“No way...”
“Can it be that Lin Xun has grasped the final mystery in the Fortune Starry Firmament?”
“Heavens!”
Outcries rang as the Fortune Starry Firmament burned and boiled in people's fields of vision. In this moment, every star became fiery, pouring out limitless radiance!
“What happened?”
In every part, nook, and cranny of Fortune Divine City, the billions of cultivators stopped whatever they were doing and looked up in unison. The blazing starlight was there for everyone to see, incinerating the clear sky! That inconceivable spectacle instantly threw the whole city into a commotion.
“It's at the Fortune Starry Firmament. Let's go!” they clamored and rushed in a certain direction, incomparably excited.
For countless moons since time immemorial, the Fortune Starry Firmament had been a mystery that no one had been able to unravel. No one knew how many divine clans’ great experts had come and exhausted their efforts and time to find it, only to leave empty-handed.
As a result, all the world's cultivators to this day even thought that this ultimate mystery did not actually exist.
However, such a heavenly phenomenon was currently transpiring in the city. Could this mean that the mystery no one had been able to shed light on since ancient times was no longer a mystery?
When the slew of cultivators arrived at the periphery of the Fortune Starry Firmament, they saw that blinding white starlight spilling down and drowning a figure.
“It's him, it's Lin Xun!”
“How is this possible...”
“Don't tell me he really cracked the ultimate mystery in the Fortune Starry Firmament?”
“Doesn't this mean he will get the most precious treasure left by that supreme being?”
More and more people kept flocking to this area, and when they learned that it was Lin Xun who had caused this phenomenon, none of them could stay calm.
Seemingly, no one had expected him to explore the final mystery of the Fortune Starry Firmament in just six years. This was simply too inconceivable. Those who hated Lin Xun's guts were permeated with jealousy.
......
Lin Xun couldn't feel what the crowd was feeling. He no longer perceived anything happening outside. After he had interpreted each of the hundreds of cultivation systems through the dao of runes, astuteness had blessed him with the key leading to the ultimate mystery!
Afterwards, using his own cultivation as a guide, he had derived those cultivation systems into hundreds of rune charts, and they had immediately resonated with the hundreds of stars in the Fortune Starry Firmament, thus triggering the ongoing heavenly phenomenon.
At this moment, in the blinding white space of burning starlight, Lin Xun saw a majestic and refined figure who was clad in green clothes and carried an ancient sword on his back.
He traversed the long river of time, appearing to be searching for something. Whenever he passed by an epochal civilization, a magnificent and mysterious diagram would appear at his back and it meticulously interpreted the cultivation system of that civilization.
That diagram was clearly the Infinite Divine Talisman!
The green-clad figure acted as if he was fearless of spacetime's restraints and impacts. He walked like a deity through different epochs with such a transcendent elegance that shook even Lin Xun in both heart and mind.
Spacetime could not impede him, and the epochs could not trap him. What kind of level is this?
A very long time later, the green-clad figure arrived in an area of primal chaos, where a great tribulation suddenly befell him!
Birthed by the void, this tribulation was formless, colorless, and odorless. Although Lin Xun could not capture it, he could feel an air of true despair and death. It seemed to be the very order of the almighty dao, capable of and actively erasing even time and fate!
An indescribable sense of suffocation hit Lin Xun like a landslide, making him feel like collapsing. Right at this moment, the green-clad figure let out a long sigh, “Sure enough, there is a mastermind behind all of this.”
As his lament echoed, a dao light surged in front of him and violently spread outward.
Boom!
Lin Xun's vision went white and then it was immediately filled by a peculiar scene. That green-clad figure had built a massive and expansive city in the chaos void, which was clearly the first form of Fortune Divine City!
After that, he waved his hand, and a black sky appeared above. The various cultivation systems born from different epochal civilizations transformed into stars and embedded themselves in that sky.
Clang!
Finally, the green-clad man took out a round, black tortoise shell and gently tossed it. The object transformed mid air into an invisible law power that shrouded the entire Fortune Divine City including its sky.
“In this way, the Fortune Origin won't be destroyed...”
The green-clad man muttered, then seemed to think of something and abruptly turned his head. At that instant, Lin Xun keenly felt the man's gaze penetrate the boundless spacetime and land on him. His heart jumped.
“If one day someone deciphers this array I've set up, then it probably means this humble one surnamed Chen is no longer the sole walker on this path...”
The green-clad man's voice was still drifting when the scene burst in front of Lin Xun like a bubble. When he looked up again, the starry dome was quiet and the stars were calm. The previous phenomenon was completely gone.
Right then, however, a picture sprang up in Lin Xun's mind – A complete map of Fortune Divine City!
Every area, every building, every corner, and even the every move of the billions of beings that inhabited it, were all perfectly rendered in this map. He didn't even need to look at it to know what was happening anywhere in this city.
A wave of realization flooded him: He had become the controller of Fortune Divine City! With a single thought, he could change any place in the city. Similarly, he could operate the omnipresent forbidden power here to take the lives of the billions of residents!
“Holy...” Lin Xun was dumbstruck.
It can't be that Fortune Divine City is the treasure left behind by that supreme being as the reward for figuring out the ultimate mystery?
This was completely out of Lin Xun's expectation. Who would dare to imagine that Fortune Divine City, the number one city of the Fortune Dominion known for being ‘beyond the divine’s reach,’ was actually a treasure?
Too incredible!
“That green-clad man must be that supreme being... He called himself ‘surnamed Chen,’ so could it be Senior Chen Lingkong, or maybe an elder in his clan?”
Countless doubts rose within him, but before he could dive into them, a hubbub sounded.
He raised his eyes and looked around to meet the countless eyes of the cultivators in the surrounding area. They were all staring at him with shock, envy, and disbelief written all over their faces. There was no doubt that everyone present had seen what had occurred to him earlier.
A cultivator summoned up the courage and asked in a trembling voice, “Senior Lin Xun, may I know if you have already explored the ultimate mystery of this place?”
Lin Xun casually said, “If I say I haven't, I'm afraid you guys won't believe me.”
In fact, he was still rattled inwardly by what he had just seen.
Was what that supreme being surnamed Chen had done in the Fortune Dominion the answer that Xia Zhi’s true form was searching for?
Hold on, that's right! He also faced a terrifying and bizarre tribulation but he was unharmed and didn't even lose a single hair!
Moreover, he built Fortune Divine City here right after that, then enveloped it with law power transformed from the black tortoise shell treasure, all to prevent the Fortune Origin from being destroyed, or at least that’s what he said!
Does this mean the location of Fortune Divine City was the origin place of the Fortune Dominion?
While Lin Xun contemplated this, his reply had raised a complete stir.
“It's actually true!”
“To think the mystery of countless eons would be solved today!”
“I wonder what the treasure left by that supreme being is...”
The cacophony of voices tumbled between heaven and earth like frying oil.
At this moment, Lin Xun, who had cracked the final mystery of the Fortune Starry Firmament, undoubtedly hoarded all the spotlight.
