The Prodigies War-Chapter 2815 Undetected by Gods and Devils
The onlookers wore different expressions. Some were envious, some jealous, some astounded.
It had been six years, and Lin Xun, who was loathed by all the big divine clans, not only was still alive but had also explored the greatest mystery of the Fortune Starry Firmament and triggered a heavenly phenomenon! What kind of huge benefit had he received? Had the precious treasure rumored to have been left by that supreme being fallen into his hands?
Everyone’s hearts were racing, but Lin Xun paid no heed to the crowd. He still had many questions that he needed to calmly ponder over. The next moment, he vanished.
“Hmph, whatever good stuff he's gained, he's still nothing more than a trapped beast,” a person coldly grunted, and the remark sounded particularly harsh to those in the periphery of the Fortune Starry Firmament.
Many were shocked because these days, very few people in this city dared to openly denigrate Lin Xun, fearing that they would suffer retaliation from him for doing that. When everyone got a good look at who the grunt came from, they all understood.
It was a black-robed, white-haired man with a tall and lean stature. His skin was as fair as polished jade, and there was a mysterious mark between his brows with the shape of flowing water.
He was Jiang Linqiu, a divine son from the Divine Jiang Clan in the World of the Divine! In the entire Fortune Dominion, the Jiang Clan was a well-deserved leading hegemon whose power was among the top three of all major divine clans.
Meanwhile, Jiang Linqiu was a genius amongst geniuses with perverse depths. He had ranked fourth in the Hundred Clan Assembly! Having that kind of over-the-top background and heritage, he naturally had the courage to make such a comment.
However, the crowd didn't echo this opinion. After all, this was Fortune Divine City. Lin Xun had also proved his terror with a bloody battle record six years ago, and on top of that, threats from the big divine clans couldn't scare him. Under these circumstances, no one dared to say for certain that Jiang Linqiu was capable of defeating Lin Xun.
“Such talk is pointless. The important thing is: when will he leave? Our priority is to guard the four city gates strictly and give him no chance to abscond,” rang a voice as gentle as water. The speaker was a woman in a long, lake-green dress. With clear, defined features and a cultivated posture, she was as beautiful as could be.
It was Ji Xiao, the divine maiden of the Divine Ji Clan!
Once ranked third in the Hundred Clan Assembly, she possessed the talent of ‘Far Past Divine Blood’ and had set foot on the Immortal path a long time ago. She was currently the justified number one divine maiden in the World of the Divine and even among all the major divine clans in the dominion!
Seeing Ji Xiao, all the people present opened their eyes wide, showing fervor and admiration.
“There are countless old relics waiting outside the city. The moment he sets one foot out the gate, he will be discovered. I'm more concerned about how long he's going to cower here.” Jiang Linqiu frowned.
“Not for long,” an indifferent voice suddenly resounded from extremely far away. “Many elders have predicted a great, unprecedented change that will occur in Fortune Divine City very soon. While they don't know what it's about, they surmise that it's related to Lin Xun.”
This voice was indistinct and untraceable, at which both Jiang Linqiu and Ji Xiao quietly squinted.
Out of the cultivators here, only they knew that the speaker was a member of the Divine Gaoyang Clan, an extremely unfathomable monster ‘whose dao was unique in all heavens,’ as many old relics had praised!
This person was Gaoyang Jue, a legend from Divine Gaoyang Clan who had once dominated the path of the Emperor Stage all by himself. Under his light, all other divine sons and maidens paled in comparison.
“Thank you for letting us know, Brother Gaoyang.” As proud as Jiang Linqiu was, he clasped his fist and expressed his gratitude. Gaoyang Jue's voice never rang again afterward.
Jiang Linqiu and Ji Xiao also quickly left one after another, but the people in the area around the Fortune Starry Firmament were no longer able to calm down.
"A huge change will occur in the near future? What is the meaning of this?"
“Could it be that Lin Xun is planning to leave Fortune Divine City?”
“There's no way, or he'll be courting death. Word on the street is that after these six years, the number of Eternal bigwigs sitting outside the city has reached nearly thirty!”
“Out of the roughly one hundred divine clans, only about thirty percent of them have Eternal guardians, yet they have actually sent so many here. This is too scary...”
On this day, after a lapse of six years, Fortune Divine City was once again stirred into a massive sensation. For one thing, it was because Lin Xun had explored the final mystery of the Fortune Starry Firmament, an unprecedented feat that sparked countless heated discussions.
The other reason was a piece of news: In the near future, a huge change would occur in Fortune Divine City! As for when exactly this startling change would start and what kind of scene it would make, no one could tell, which was precisely why people were worried.
The unknown was always the most terrifying, and once any shocking change broke out, it would most likely affect the citizens. As the saying went, a fire at the city gate brings disasters upon the fish in the moat.
While the commotion washed through the city, Lin Xun had already returned to Misty Moon Lake. It had been six years since the bloody event. Despite Lin Xun's absence, no one dared to occupy this territory that had originally belonged to the Divine Liangqiu Clan.
Such was the deterrent of a notoriety established through killing!
That supreme being surnamed Chen underwent a horrifying tribulation and lived, and this might be the answer that Xia Zhi's true form traveled to Fortune Divine City to look for.
Unfortunately, on her way here, a great tribulation suddenly descended and interfered with her plan...
In a pavilion at the center of the lake, Lin Xun sat cross-legged in contemplation.
After his tribulation, that supreme being constructed Fortune Divine City and covered it in a restrictive law power in order to prevent the Fortune Origin from suffering destruction.
Whoever can figure out the deepest mystery of the Fortune Starry Firmament will become the lord of Fortune Divine City, meaning this city is a treasure in itself.
Thinking of this, Lin Xun realized something.
The green-clad man said that once someone deciphers that mystery, he would ‘no longer be the sole walker on this path.’
Does this mean that I have become his ‘comrade on the path’?
After pondering for a long time, Lin Xun entered meditation, and in an instant, everything in Fortune Divine City was projected in his mind. It felt as though this city had become part of him. So long as he wished to, he could utilize its power with a single thought to do whatever he wanted!
A bold idea couldn't help but pop up in his mind. All the major divine clans had forces entrenched in the city. Dealing with them one by one was bound to be a tedious and complicated task that would consume copious amounts of effort and time, not to mention that some fish would likely slip through the net.
However, it was a different story now that this city was under his control. If he wanted them dead, how could they have a chance to live? It was also simple to identify who were his enemies as he could 'see’ everyone everywhere, including their every movement and every word. As such, it was easy as pie to accurately capture the identity and location of the other party!
At this thought, Lin Xun immediately began to sense. Everything going on in the entire Fortune Divine City surged up in his mind like a vast torrent.
In a temple in the eastern part of the city, a group of divine juniors were having a secret meeting.
“That man grasped the mystery of the Fortune Starry Firmament. If the rumors are true, then he must have obtained a supreme treasure, but there's nothing we can do about it in this damned city where we're limited to the Emperor Stage. I would have killed him at the first opportunity otherwise.”
“In that case, Lin Xun would have died numerous times over.”
“It's useless to say that kind of thing now. I, on the other hand, look forward to seeing what the big change is going to be.”
“It naturally has something to do with Lin Xun.”
These divine sons and maidens hailed from various divine clans. When they talked about Lin Xun, their teeth were all gritted in hatred. He had been cowering here in the last six years, forcing them to endure and wait without any other choices. As a result, they all felt extremely stifled.
As they were talking, Lin Xun soundlessly appeared out of thin air, sending the conversation to an abrupt end. The room of divine sons and maidens were stupefied for a moment before jumping to their feet with visible incredulity.
“How did you...get in here?” one of them asked, looking like they were seeing ghosts.
Putting aside the fact that this temple was covered with heavy restrictive arrays, they were shocked that their spirit senses had not detected a single energy fluctuation when Lin Xun had emerged.
“I walked in, of course,” replied Lin Xun casually. “Everyone, come with me.”
The divine juniors were stunned. After glancing at one another, they tacitly and unhesitantly decided to attack.
Kaboom!
They went all-out with the most deadly moves right off the bat. The grand hall shook in the noises of explosions. However, Lin Xun merely sparked a thought, and a wave of law power surged forth, dissolving all the attacks without a sound.
In the next second, these divine juniors were all subdued and put to their knees, unable to struggle in the slightest!
“It's the law power of this city! How could you possibly control it?!” someone shouted in shock and anger. The others couldn't maintain composure either, the color and expressions on their faces changing drastically.
The law power of Fortune Divine City was something that no one had been able to resist since the beginning of time. Any Immortal expert would be suppressed to the Emperor Stage. Furthermore, should an Eternal character try to intrude, they would be rejected outside and bombarded by the city's law power, which could be described as both miraculous and horrifying.
Despite that, Lin Xun had actually taken control of this law power! This completely flipped the perceptions of the divine juniors present. They looked like they had been struck by lightning, realizing how bad their situation was.
“This is the secret hidden in the Fortune Starry Firmament.” Lin Xun smiled faintly.
Hearing this, those divine sons and maidens seemed to understand at once. They looked at each other in a state of shock and anger, their hearts churning in waves of emotions. The ultimate mystery in the Fortune Starry Firmament is the method to wield the law power of this city?
“Lin Xun, I dare you to fight me in a fair battle!” shouted a young man, his face gloomy. Being suppressed to his knees like this drove him crazy with shame and indignation.
“If you have the power to make those old things outside the city retreat, then I will fight you fair and square,” said Lin Xun calmly. “If you can't, then shut up so you don't make a fool of yourself.”
“You...” That young man struggled to get up, but it was no use at all.
So what if he was a divine son? The law power of Fortune Divine City was also simply not something any of them could fight against! 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Lin Xun delayed no more. He stowed the seven divine juniors into his spatial treasure with a wave of his hand collected, and then, he vanished.
From start to end, the people outside the temple had noticed nothing out of place. His moves were as light as clouds, undetectable to even gods and devils.
