The Prodigies War-Chapter 2643 Karma Related to Xia Zhi

"Mister Lu, do you know who that woman is?" Lin Xun couldn't help asking. After all, he believed that it was almost impossible for Luo Chong and those branch clansmen to usurp the power of the clan leader on their own. The key lay in this woman of unknown origin!

Facts had also proved that this woman had had evil intentions from the beginning, starting from when she became a dao partner with Luo Chong and supported him in taking over the reins of power.

"She calls herself Pei Ru, which is obviously a fake name as there is no Immortal Imperial Clan with the surname Pei in the Eternal True Realm." Lu Boya said, "After years of investigation, I have concluded that this woman...is very likely related to the Wang Clan of the Eighth Heaven Domain."

The Wang Clan!

Lin Xun couldn't help but think of something. Back then, outside the Ruins of the Gods, his martial uncle Kong Jue was severely injured by a sudden sword attack, and his fourth senior brother Ling Xuanzi was also stabbed by that terrifying sword qi and had been on the verge of death following that.

He had been crazy with anger, but he still remembered where that sword had come from: the Wang Clan! They were the number one Immortal Giant in the Eighth Heaven Domain! Furthermore, that sword was the Sword of Dao Judgment!

At that time, Lin Xun had vowed that if he could survive, sooner or later, he would repay this feud a hundredfold!

"Wang Clan..." Lin Xun's dark eyes were cold, "It seems that even when my great-grandfather had fallen into trouble, they had not given up the idea of seizing his artifacts."

The Omega Lord had once been besieged by the Ten Immortal Giants from the Eighth Heaven Domain in front of the Eternity Door, and he had no choice but to fight against them desperately. Those scenes were still imprinted in Lin Xun's mind. How could he forget them?

Now, the tentacles of the Wang Clan had penetrated into the Luo Clan, trying to seize the Omega Secret-Realm, the Eternity Coffin, the Fortune Sword and other treasures, which made Lin Xun burst into murderous intent.

"That should be the case. Over the years, this woman named Pei Ru has been staying in the headquarters of the Luo Clan. There is no doubt that she must know that you have obtained the Omega Secret-Realm and other treasures," Lu Boya said.

"How can Luo Chong tolerate a woman like her who is untrustworthy and harbors evil intentions?" Lin Xun couldn't help but be surprised.

Lu Boya sneered, "Luo Chong got his position as the clan head by relying on her power. Therefore, how could he have the guts to turn against her? As far as I know, there are still many members of the Luo Clan who are delusional, thinking that as long as they capture you and your mother, the situation will change. They believe that as long as Pei Ru gets what she wants, she can use her power for the clan’s benefit.”

Lin Xun almost couldn't believe his ears, "The Omega Secret-Realm and other treasures were all left by my great-grandfather, so they are the treasures of the Luo Clan. How could they bear to give them to that woman?"

Lu Boya sighed, "In their view, those are the treasures left by your great-grandfather to the main lineage. Even if they are reluctant to give them up, they can do so as long as they can get Pei Ru's help."

Lin Xun's face was gloomy, "No wonder they have been acting crazy, chasing and killing throughout the Ancient Nebula Road all these years!"

"So, when you go to the Luo Clan this time, you should be careful of that woman. I suspect that she is not only trying to seize the Omega Secret-Realm and other treasures, but also wants to steal your Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer talent,” Lu Boya reminded him.

Lin Xun nodded.

Lu Boya then looked at the Eternity Coffin and said, "This treasure was obtained by your great-grandfather from the Fortune Dominion, and it is extremely mysterious. In fact, this treasure had given your great-grandfather the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer innate talent. Now that you have the power to control it, I can safely hand it over to you."

Lin Xun was stunned for a moment and said, "Mister Lu, just what is hidden in this Eternity Coffin?"

Lu Boya replied, "Your great-grandfather once said that this thing is related to the Eternal Dao. It was also from this thing that your great-grandfather found the secret map to the eternal star road. As for what secrets it hides, only you can explore it yourself."

After a pause, he continued, "However, according to your great-grandfather's instructions, it is best not to open this coffin before embarking on the immortal path. This is why I stopped you from opening it earlier."

You can only open this coffin after stepping into the Immortal Stage!

Lin Xun was stunned, but in the end he suppressed his curiosity and said, "I'll listen to your instructions."

"You mean your great-grandfather’s instructions." Lu Boya smiled, turned his hand over, and handed a jade slip to Lin Xun, "This is a jade slip left to me by your great-grandfather. It records the secret method of obtaining this treasure. Without this, even an Immortal would find it hard to move it around."

Lin Xun suddenly realized that it was not surprising that he couldn't move the bronze coffin no matter how hard he tried earlier. It turned out that there was another mystery behind it. He took the jade slip, and after reading it briefly, he had already comprehended the secret method. He immediately reached out and pinched the seal, and an obscure sound came out of his lips.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the bronze coffin trembled, and a mysterious chaotic luster appeared. It shrank countless times in an instant, and finally turned into a ray of green light, which swept into his forehead. Just like the Omega Secret-Realm, it was now suspended in the sea of his consciousness and was extremely mysterious.

"Now, do you have anything else to ask?" Lu Boya asked.

Lin Xun thought for a moment and said, "Mister Lu, do you know of...Xia Zhi?"

"Xia Zhi?" Lu Boya was startled and looked puzzled.

Lin Xun immediately took out the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron and Xia Zhi, who had been sleeping in it and nourished by the Nirvana law power.

"She is Xia Zhi." As Lin Xun spoke, he told his teacher of some things relating to Xia Zhi.

When he learned that Xia Zhi had appeared beside Lin Xun as early as when he was in Feiyun Village, Lu Boya's pupils narrowed and he was quite surprised. Furthermore, when he learned about the ‘shackles of fate’ in Xia Zhi's body, he stiffened, as if he realized something, and said with emotion, "What Brother Tongtian said back then was actually true!"

Lin Xun was excited and couldn't help but ask, "Mister Lu, what is true?"

Over the years, he has speculated upon Xia Zhi’s origins and background more than once, but it was still a mystery to him.

Lu Boya recalled, "Not long after your great-grandfather got the Eternity Coffin in the Fortune Dominion, he told me that getting this thing had given him the opportunity to change his fate, but at the same time, he was also tainted with a certain kind of karma.

"At that time, your great-grandfather was worried, because he didn't know whether this karma was good or bad, but he had deduced that this karmic outcome would appear in his descendants..."

At this point, Lu Boya looked at the sleeping Xia Zhi with a strange and subtle look in his eyes, "I had thought that after so many years, the karma your great-grandfather had mentioned back then may not exist at all, but now it seems to have all been true..."

Lin Xun was stunned, "The karma associated with the Eternity Coffin?"

Lu Boya nodded, "That is what your great-grandfather said, and there is no way I could be mistaken. He had even worried about this matter for many years, anxious that if this karma was not good, it would very likely affect his descendants. But now it seems...this is not bad karma. At least according to what you have told me, in the heart of this Xia Zhi girl, you are more important than her life.”

Lin Xun was stunned and suddenly said, "Mister Lu, since the Eternity Coffin was found in the Fortune Dominion, do you think the origins of Xia Zhi are also related to that place?"

"It may also be related to this coffin," Lu Boya pointed out.

Lin Xun was shocked and said in a daze, "How could her origins be related to a bronze coffin? This seems too ridiculous!"

Even if the bronze coffin was a mysterious treasure, it was still a coffin! In the eyes of the world, this thing was the place where the dead were buried, and it was the destination where life finally rested! How could her origins and background be connected to a coffin?

At this moment, Lin Xun could no longer bear it and took out the Eternity Coffin from his sea of consciousness. However, Xia Zhi, who was sleeping, did not react at all, and did not seem to feel anything because of it.

"Even if you are eager to get the answer, it is best not to open this coffin now." Lu Boya said seriously, "You also know that this girl is sleeping. As long as she is by your side, you will get the answer sooner or later, right?"

Lin Xun's expression flickered for a while, and he nodded slowly after a long period passed.

He put away the Eternity Coffin, looked at the sleeping Xia Zhi, took a deep breath, and said, "No matter what her origins are, no matter whether she is the karma mentioned by my great-grandfather, I will never let her get hurt in this life, and I will never let her leave me!"

His voice was extremely resolute and firm. No one could understand just how important and irreplaceable Xia Zhi's position in his heart was!

Lu Boya witnessed all of this and couldn't help but feel a little weird. If Brother Tongtian was here and was able to see the ‘karma’ he was worried about was actually like this, would he still worry?

"Let's go. Before you set off for the Luo Clan, I'll take you to see someone. With him leading the way, he can help you a lot."

Lu Boya walked out of the cave. Their conversation had ended here, but it had also answered many mysteries Lin Xun had. In addition, he also learned many inside stories and truths of the past.

Miluo Grotto Heaven, Yunxu Palace.

"Third-generation disciple Luo Xuanfu greets grand-teacher!"

Luo Xuanfu walked into the hall and bowed. When he saw Lin Xun sitting next to Lu Boya, waves instantly stirred within his usually calm mind.

Lu Boya nodded and said, "Xuanfu, it seems that you have guessed my purpose of calling you here this time. Tomorrow morning, you and Lin Xun will leave the Rowdy Demon Sea and go to the Luo Clan."

His hunch had been right! Luo Xuanfu's eyes became bright, and his handsome face, which usually was wooden and indifferent, revealed a rarely seen excitement.

Ever since he had entered Miluo Grotto Heaven, he had been anticipating this day for many years! Taking a deep breath, Luo Xuanfu solemnly agreed, “Yes!”

Lu Boya then said to Lin Xun, "With Xuanfu's guidance and help, after arriving at the Luo Clan, he can also help you further understand the situation a bit more."

Lin Xun nodded. He truly needed someone who knew the Luo Clan to help lead him there. Therefore, Luo Xuanfu, as a descendant of the direct line of the Luo Clan, was undoubtedly a very suitable choice.

"In addition, you take this thing with you." As he said that, Lu Boya handed Lin Xun a sealed black jade box, "After arriving at the Luo Clan, if you encounter danger, open this box."

"What's in it?" Lin Xun asked.

Lu Boya smiled and said, "Of course it's a trump card I have prepared for you. You can slowly figure it out yourself in the future."
