The Prodigies War-Chapter 2389 Teaching By Example

Chapter 2389 Teaching By Example

Su Bai woke up to a familiar face.

He was stunned, seemingly in disbelief, and only after a long time did he excitedly say, “Master... You saved me?”

Lin Xun nodded, “You are heavily injured. Fortunately, your dao foundation hasn’t been damaged. After we return, I’ll take you with me to the All Dao Realm.”

Su Bai nodded fiercely.

In recent years, he had been hailed the strongest supreme quasi-Emperor in the Ancient Wasteland Domain and was known for having a resolute and solitary personality. Countless cultivators held him in high esteem.

However, at this moment, he was like an awkward teenager in front of Lin Xun. With a look of shame, he mumbled, “Master, I've disgraced you with my incompetence...”

Lin Xun lifted him up from the ground and patted his shoulder, “It has already surprised me greatly how you were able to make such a great achievement on your own during my absence. Now that we talk about it, it’s I who has failed you...”

Saying that, he sighed.

Shortly after accepting Su Bai as his disciple, he left in a hurry for the Kunlun Dominion. In all these years, he hadn’t given him any guidance or help at all.

Yet, Su Bai was able to soar so high with his own strength. This moved Lin Xun immensely, and he could not help but feel like he had done his disciple wrong.

“Please don’t say that, Master. If you hadn’t taken me in in the first place, then how could I have the chance to embark on the path of cultivation?” said Su Bai hurriedly.

Lin Xun smiled. Although Su Bai had long since grown up from the honest and introverted straw-shod boy from back then, the resoluteness and simplicity in his bones had not changed.

“Let's go.” Lin Xun led Su Bai out of the dark prison.

That day.

Heavenly Sword Sect was trampled through, and a group of its high-ranking officials, including Sect Leader Hua Yundu, were executed. When this news spread, the entire Great Luo Ancient Domain quaked in a huge uproar.

When people went to investigate, they found that the world's number one blessed land, Green Cliff Sword Mountain, had collapsed into ruins, and the spirit vein buried under it had been siphoned off.

At this point, everyone finally dared to come to the conclusion: the number one sword sect that had dominated the Great Luo Ancient Domain since time immemorial...had completely become the dust of history!

Who did all this?

No one had an idea.

Only a long time later in the future would they learn the identity of this menace who had toppled the entire Heavenly Sword Sect all on his own.

At that time, Lin Xun had long been recognized as a supreme legend in all existing worlds!

......

As if to make it up for Su Bai, Lin Xun did not return to the Ancient Wasteland Domain after his disciple’s injuries had healed.

Instead, he took Su Bai with him to the domain adjacent to the Great Luo Ancient Domain – the Blood Demon Ancient Domain.

Lin Xun wasn’t in a hurry, but instead took Su Bai to enjoy the scenery on the way. They also occasionally entered cities to sightsee.

A teacher was one who imparted knowledge and dispersed doubts.

Along the way, Lin Xun would give Su Bai some of his own insights in cultivation, and then gave him actual examples so as to practice what he preached.

He didn't try to rush Su Bai growth inappropriately. Everything he taught him was his realization and experience on his path. They would be very beneficial to Su Bai's cultivation without affecting the sword path the latter was seeking.

Su Bai also knew how valuable this kind of occasion was. Whenever he had an epiphany, he would discuss it with Lin Xun. Although his cultivation level hadn’t gone up much during this, his understanding of the great dao and perception of cultivation became much more profound.

On the tenth day of their journey, Lin Xun and Su Bai arrived at Devil’s Grotto where the Primordial Demon Sect was located.

Primordial Demon Sect was the number one organization in the Blood Demon Ancient Domain. Back then, Xue Qingyi, one of the Azure Blue Eight Supremes who Lin Xun had encountered in the Nine Domains Battlefield, was from this sect.

Like Heavenly Sword Pavilion, Primordial Demon Sect was also the most powerful hegemon in its domain.

What followed imparting the knowledge would be to give real-life examples of it.

After arriving at the Primordial Demon Sect, Su Bai finally saw for himself how horrifying his teacher’s battle prowess was.

In just moments, the tightly protected Devil’s Grotto had been stomped to rubble. The lives of the dignitaries of Primordial Demon Sect had been reaped one by one in a fingersnap like they were grass!

On the way out, Su Bai was still in a dumbfounded state. Everything had happened too fast; it wasn’t like demolishing an overlord of a domain at all but instead like taking a casual stroll...

That day, Su Bai deeply fathomed the meaning of ‘teaching by example.’

In the face of absolute strength, the so-called number one sect and domain hegemony was no more than a farm animal, unable to withstand one hit!

It was also on that day that Lin Xun asked Su Bai, “Do you think that my move to break through the Primordial Demon Sect this time is inappropriate?”

Stunned, Su Bai pondered for a long time, “Master naturally has a reason for what he does.”

Lin Xun shook his head, “Everyone has their own reason for killing, but how do you tell whether this reason is justifiable or just senseless slaughter?”

Su Bai worked his brain for what seemed like half a day before he answered, “In the mortal world, there are laws and regulations that restrain killing, but in the world of cultivators where the law of the jungle is honored, there is no way to restrict this.

“Under these circumstances, if we set fighting and killing to save our own lives and protect our friends and family as the bottom line, then it wouldn’t be senseless killing.”

Lin Xun nodded, “The bottom line, but not the reason. In fact, as you said, in this world where cultivators are rampant, it's hard to define whether killing is good or bad.”

Su Bai blurted out, “With so many cultivators in this world, everyone's view is destined to be different. In my opinion, it’s fine as long as we act with a clear conscience.”

Lin Xun smiled, “Maintaining a clear conscience...can be very hard. Sometimes, it may even be more difficult than seeking the great dao.”

Su Bai said, “With a guilty conscience, one might as well have forsaken the great dao.”

Lin Xun made no comment on this.

The conversation ended there, but in the years to come, whenever Su Bai thought back to it, he couldn't help but feel sentimental.

A clear conscience.

A guilty conscience.

It all pointed directly to one’s conscience, namely one’s dao heart.

While this conversation didn’t change Su Bai's path, it had a great impact on his future cultivation.

One month into the journey, the two arrived at the East Mulberry Ancient Domain.

The program was still composed of sightseeing, learning, and preaching the dao.

When they left the domain, its long-standing number one lineage, God Dao Sect, had been exterminated.

Forty days into the journey, the master-disciple duo appeared in the North Sea Ancient Domain.

Fifty days into the journey, they appeared in the Heavenly Flame Ancient Domain.

Two months into the journey...

As the footprints of Lin Xun and Su Bai spread to different domains, the respective number one forces would also be destroyed in the same manner.

The Imperial Kun Clan of the North Sea Ancient Domain, the Imperial Lie Clan of the Heavenly Flame Ancient Domain, the Imperial Zhu Clan of the Absolute Yin Ancient Domain[1], and so on...

After the sixth month of their journey.

The Great Luo, Blood Demon, North Sea, Heavenly Flame, East Mulberry, Absolute Yin, Nine Dark, and Star Fiend ancient eight domains had all seen their strongest organizations reduced to dusty ruins!

News of this could not be concealed, and with time, it even reached the Great Emperor Pass and stirred up an unprecedented commotion.

As a result, the armies of the eight domains, who had been launching large-scale attacks on the Great Emperor Pass in the past several years, had also withdrawn from the battlefield.

Obviously, the annihilation of their domains' largest lineages had greatly affected those armies at war.

When Lin Xun and Su Bai appeared on the battlefield outside the Sun Pass, they were spotted right away.

“Emperor Lord Lin has returned!”

Everyone in the Sun Pass stopped whatever they were doing and rushed over.

Gathering Cloud Battle Emperor, Thousand Snow Battle Emperor, Shun Ji... In the end, all the experts stationed at the Sun Pass gathered at the frontline.

Awe, respect, and fervor were evident on their faces.

It had been over half a year, how could they not know that the collapse of the eight domains’ armies was all thanks to Lin Xun?

Alone, he had broken into the eight domains one after another and flattened their strongest forces. This deed was enough to triumph over history and shake the future!

“Master, they are all here to welcome you,” marveled Su Bai. Inside, he couldn’t help but yearn for this. When would he be able to achieve the might his master had now?

“Go.” Lin Xun walked toward the Sun Pass.

On this day, Lin Xun returned with his disciple Su Bai. He was greeted by a large crowd, causing a sensation throughout the Great Emperor Pass!

Soon, Lin Xun got to see some familiar figures such as Mister Shen, the Thousand Feather Sword Flower, and so on.

They had come after hearing the news of his return. Upon seeing Lin Xun, they were all overwhelmed with emotions. After so many years, the young junior they had once known had now surpassed them on the path of dao!

On the same day, a grand banquet was held for Lin Xun's return. With tens of thousands of participants, it became an unprecedented event in the Great Emperor Pass.

Rumor had it that no fewer than a hundred thousand jugs of wine had been consumed!

It wasn't until late at night that Mister Shen found Lin Xun and brought up the matter with the lineages of the Ancient Wasteland Domain to him in private.

Mister Shen said, “I have heard about what you did in the lower world. Currently, those lineages are all on edge. They have expressed their intention to submit, so may I have the audacity to ask you to let them off the hook this time?”

A cold aura flashed in Lin Xun's eyes, “Let them off the hook?”

He then continued, “I was lenient back then. Perhaps too lenient, because when I returned to the lower world, I found that all those who were close to me had been implicated. Even my clansmen had to hide away to luckily avoid a huge disaster. Under these circumstances, Mister Shen, do you still think that I would give them another chance to repent?”

Mister Shen's expression quickly shifted, and only after a long time did he lament, “I expected this. But if you insist on taking revenge, then I'm afraid that all major lineages of the Ancient Wasteland Domain are going to bleed an ocean...”

Lin Xun calmly said, “I have single-handedly solved the foreign troubles of the eight domains. In at least the next one thousand years, the Great Emperor Pass will not be under any more storms. While we're at it, it's time for the Ancient Wasteland Domain’s cards to reshuffle.”

A reshuffle!

What this simple word represented was an unimaginably bloody storm!

As Mister Shen was just about to say something, Lin Xun sighed softly, “Senior, it’s no longer possible for anyone to change my mind regarding this matter. I can only promise you that I will only behead the wicked and put an end to their lineages. It won't be a massacre.”

Mister Shen listened in a daze with a bitter smile. A long time later, he said, “Forget it. I won't mention this matter any more.” freeweɓnovel~cѳm

Smiling, Lin Xun raised a cup of wine and toasted with Mister Shen.
