The Prodigies War-Chapter 2642 Li Fuyao?

A supreme Emperor Ancestor was enough to attract the attention of the Ten Immortal Giants in the Eighth Heaven Domain! Therefore, it was worthwhile for the Luo Clan to use all its resources to raise a supreme Emperor Ancestor like Luo Feng.

After all, for an average Immortal Imperial Clan, even if they wanted to use all of their resources to create a supreme Emperor Ancestor, it wasn’t guaranteed. It also depended on luck.

Unfortunately, all this was nothing to Lin Xun. Strictly speaking, he no longer took anyone below the Immortal Stage seriously! However, one thing Lu Boya said caught his attention.

The first one was the Infinite Divine Scroll, which was one of the six treasures left by the Omega Lord. This was a rare treasure with a total of nine volumes, and each volume contained a diagram to a secret rune pattern.

According to Lu Boya, this treasure was actually inherited from his master in the last epoch!

"Mister Lu, my mother said that you were a part of an ancient talisman sect in the last epoch?" Lin Xun couldn't help from asking.

Lu Boyai nodded and a reminiscent look appeared on his face as he said, "Yes, from the day I became a disciple, my master warned me not to mention anything related to the sect in this lifetime. Otherwise, it would be very likely that I would bring unimaginable disasters to me."

At this point, he revealed a strange and helpless smile, "Later I found out that my master had lied to me. He was worried that I would do evil deeds under the sect’s name, so he had given me that warning. But I have never complained about my master. It was under his teaching that I went from being an ordinary wild boy to mastering the most unique inheritances related to talismans."

In his voice, Lin Xun could hear a heartfelt gratitude and admiration.

"Mister Lu, can you tell more about your master?" Lin Xun couldn't help but become more curious because his attainments in runes were inherited from Lu Boya. Over the years, by relying on those skills, he was able to resolve countless dangers and survive through harrowing situations.

It also made him deeply realize how complicated this kind of rune inheritance was because, in all these years of cultivation, he has never seen any kind of rune inheritance in this world that could be compared with what he has mastered. As his teacher had said, this type of inheritance was unique because it did not belong to this epoch at all!

"It's fine for me to tell you. My master's surname is Li, and his given name is Fuyao..." Lu Boya's eyes were dazed as if he was immersed in memories from a long time ago.[1]

Li Fuyao... This name is quite impressive.

"Master always claimed that he was a sword cultivator. In fact, his sword skills were indeed terrifying... In any case, in all the years I have been cultivating, I have never seen anyone who could block a strike of his sword, even the supreme figures who were known to be powerful couldn’t!

"Despite that, my master often said that while his sword skills were strong, they were not as good as his junior brother’s..." After saying this, Lu Boya couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that Master never said who his junior brother was."

Lin Xun couldn't help but be surprised, "Since they were fellow brothers, why didn’t he ever mention his name?"

"I don't know." Lu Boya smiled bitterly and then revealed a sad look as he continued, "Before the destruction of the epoch, Master once told me that the catastrophe of the destruction of the epoch was coming, and he needed to go to help the sect to fight, so I should be careful in the future.

"Furthermore, he specifically emphasized that the Infinite Divine Scroll was the most supreme inheritance secret treasure of our sect. With this, it would be enough to help me survive the destruction of the epoch...

"Unfortunately, although I survived, I still don't know where my master had gone to fight and whether he had survived..."

Lu Boya looked more and more disappointed, "What's funny is that I still don't know the origins and name of my master's sect..."

Lin Xun was stunned for a while. Finally he said, "So, the sect of Senior Li Fuyao is really quite mysterious."

Lu Boya laughed, shook his head, got rid of all the distracting thoughts, and said, "These are all old things, and they happened in the last epoch. It doesn't make much sense to talk about them now. I just want to tell you that when I go to the Luo Clan this time, I must take back the Infinite Divine Scroll no matter what!"

His voice was resolute, "After your great-grandfather saved me, I made up my mind to pick a successor from one of his descendants. On one hand, this will repay the favor, and on the other hand, it will prevent my sect's inheritance from being cut off.

"At first, I chose your grandfather. Although he had not awakened his innate talent, he had no problem in practicing the art of runes. However, what I didn't expect was that just when he was about to inherit the position of the clan head, a shocking event occurred. The Blade of Light and Shadow, the Talent Stone, as well as the Infinite Divine Scroll were all taken away by Luo Chong.

"Fortunately, you have a good talent and have been practicing the art of runes with me since childhood. In the future, when you take back the Infinite Divine Scroll, that will mean that my master’s legacy has finally been passed down,” Lu Boya said this with a look of relief.

When he was a child, he had only been an ordinary wild boy with mediocre abilities. It was only by chance that he had been accepted as a disciple by his master. In comparison, Lin Xun's talent was much stronger than his!

From Lu Boya's perspective, as long as his student was able to inherit the Infinite Divine Scroll, then his attainments in the art of runes would definitely be better than his own in the future.

Lin Xun took a deep breath and solemnly agreed, "Mister Lu, don't worry, I will never let you down!"

Shortly thereafter, he hesitated and said, "Mister Lu, I have another question that I want to ask."

"Go ahead."

"Back then, my grandfather and Luo Chong had competed for the patriarch position. Even though my grandfather was not as good as Luo Chong in all aspects, he was still the legitimate son of my great-grandfather. Furthermore, there were a group of elders from the direct line of the Luo Clan standing behind him. So why was Luo Chong able to usurp the position?"

Lin Xun was quite puzzled by this.

Luo Qingxun had once told him that before he could inherit the position of clan head, her father Luo Xiao had disappeared under strange circumstances. His whereabouts had been unknown, which gave Luo Chong the opportunity to grab power.

However, did the elders from the main lineage of the Luo Clan not realize that this was most likely a conspiracy? Or, why couldn't they wait until the truth of Luo Xiao's disappearance came to light before choosing the clan head?

There had to be something strange about this!

A hint of mockery surfaced on Lu Boya’s face as he said, "Your mother didn't tell you the truth, probably because she was worried that you would look down on the elders of the Luo Clan’s direct lineage. Since you asked, it's okay for me to tell you.

"At that time, your mother and your uncle were still young. Luo Chong, who was in the same generation as your grandfather, was already an Emperor Ancestor, but he had never married and had children. Before inheriting the position of patriarch, not long after your grandfather disappeared, a woman had abruptly appeared beside him."

Hearing this, Lin Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is there something off with this woman?"

"Yes, this woman had a mysterious origin, and her methods were even more amazing. She had once summoned many Immortals from the Seventh Heaven Domain to the Luo Clan, claiming that they had come to visit, but in fact, they were cheering for Luo Chong!

"After this woman revealed such an incredible power and background, she immediately spread the word that she would become dao partners with Luo Chong. She promised that as long as Luo Chong became the head of the Luo Clan, she would do her best to help the clan rise. Therefore, at least it would not be excluded by other Immortal Imperial Clans in the Seventh Heaven Domain."

"Did those elders of the Luo Clan’s main line agree then?" Lin Xun also frowned.

Lu Boya sighed and said, "At that time, the Luo Clan was already in a downward slump and a bad situation. Countless major forces in the Seventh Heaven Domain had rejected it. If it did not make any changes, it would most likely not be able to maintain a foothold in the Seventh Heaven Domain.

"Furthermore, at that time, your grandfather was missing, so those elders of the Luo Clan’s main line...agreed to this..."

His voice slowly became lower and lower.

When Lin Xun heard this, he felt uncomfortable. These elders of the Luo Clan’s direct line were truly too muddleheaded. They had actually pinned their hopes of maintaining the status of the Luo Clan on a woman with an unknown origin. How ridiculous was that?

"The situation of the Luo Clan at that time was indeed not optimistic, and the means displayed by that woman and Luo Chong were also very powerful. They had promised many things with great confidence, which made the entire clan excited, thinking that they were seeing the hope of reviving the clan.”

Lu Boya's expression was complicated, "At that time, your mother and uncle were young and had no ability to stop all this. In addition, I was investigating the disappearance of your grandfather in the outside world. When I rushed back to the Luo Clan, Luo Chong had already taken over the patriarch position."

At this point, Lin Xun also sighed in his heart. What these elders of the Luo family's main lineage did was no different from seeking a paper tiger to prop up the clan.

"However, even if I was there at that time, I'm afraid I would not be able to stop it, because I had promised your great-grandfather that I would never interfere in the internal affairs of the Luo Clan." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Lu Boya continued self-deprecatingly, "This may be called tying oneself up in knots. I didn't expect that your great-grandfather would suddenly suffer from a disaster, and I also didn't expect that the Luo Clan would become so chaotic and unbearable..."

Lin Xun consoled him, "Mister Lu, at least you helped my mother and uncle escape from the Luo Clan. That's enough."

He was worried that his teacher would blame himself again, so he immediately changed the subject and said, "It's just that after Luo Chong became the clan head, it seems that the Luo Clan was still expelled from the Seventh Heaven Domain. Could it be that the woman changed her mind?"

Lu Boya sneered, “Not long after I returned to the Eternal True Realm, I got some news a few years ago. Right after Luo Chong inherited the position of the clan head, under the instigation of that woman, he had immediately reneged on all of their previous promises and ordered all the elders in the direct line of the Luo Clan to be suppressed and imprisoned. Other people in the main line were also implicated. All of them fell into a bad situation and had become virtual prisoners.

"Later I learned that the woman and Luo Chong had become dao partners and that she had supported him in becoming the clan head solely for the Omega Secret-Realm, the Fortune Sword, and the Eternity Coffin that had been left by your great-grandfater!"

"However, you also know that these three treasures had all been taken away by me, your mother, and uncle, which made the woman's hopes come to nothing. How could she sincerely help the Luo Clan maintain a firm foothold in the Seventh Heaven Domain then?"

After hearing this, Lin Xun now understood everything and couldn't help but sneer, "Those people in the Luo Clan probably had no idea that the woman who was sharing the same bed as their clan leader had evil intentions from the very beginning, right? This is called asking the fox to guard the henhouse and reaping what you have sown!"

His voice was full of undisguised ridicule.
