The Prodigies War-Chapter 2675 Updates on Senior Brothers and Sisters
The sea of clouds swirled, and the ancient pines swayed gently in the wind. At the stone table, a figure sat with breathtaking grace, as if she had stepped out of a painting.
Though dressed as a man, her beauty was unmistakable. She wore a pink robe embroidered with delicate rose-cloud patterns, and her long black hair was pinned up with a simple hairpin. Her fair, oval face was so stunning it could take one’s breath away.
She had naturally alluring phoenix eyes, soft rosy lips, brows like brushstrokes untainted by mortal paint, skin as fair and smooth as cream, and a figure both slender and graceful. In that moment, she sat with effortless ease, her gaze wandering, radiating a carefree grace and unrestrained elegance.
She had the bearing of an immortal fairy and the flawless form of a divine jade beauty! Anyone who laid eyes on her would be utterly dazzled. That kind of presence and beauty was one of a kind.
When she saw Lin Xun approach, she stood up and called out with a smile, “Junior Brother, it’s been so many years. You’ve grown even more handsome. Come, let me take a good look at you.” Her voice was clear and bright, carrying a natural softness and magnetic quality. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
The woman was none other than Jun Huan, a successor of Fangchun Mountain, known by the phrase: ‘The path becomes empty in an instant, the path of the sword is the most elegant’
As she spoke, she strode over to Lin Xun with her fair and slender hands clasped behind her back. Her phoenix eyes scanned him up and down as her rosy lips curled into a faint smile. She was as picturesque as a painting, and as ethereal as a fairy.
“Senior Sister, you...” Lin Xun was caught completely off guard. He had never imagined that the mysterious guest who had come to visit him at the Luo Clan would turn out to be none other than his senior sister, Jun Huan!
“Surprised?” Jun Huan blinked her eyes, her smile as refreshing and ethereal as rain-kissed petals.
Lin Xun nodded with a broad grin. “Very surprised.”
After the great battle against the Nameless Esteemed Emperor, he had parted ways with his fellow disciples from Fangchun Mountain. At that time, he had just stepped into the Supreme Quasi-Emperor Stage on Mount Heedless.
Now, he had become a supreme Emperor Ancestor whose name shook the Eternal True Realm!
So many years had passed. He had fought across the stars, traversed endless lands, journeyed through the Great Thousand Battle Domain, and carved a bloody path all the way to the Sixth Heaven Domain.
Time and again, he had wondered when he would see his senior brothers and sisters again. He had also been worried deeply about their safety. After all, he heard that the Ten Immortal Giants of the Eighth Heaven Domain viewed the successors of Fangchun Mountain as a threat and were intent on wiping them out.
What he never expected was to reunite with his senior sister Jun Huan at the Luo Clan! How could he not feel overwhelmed with joy?
Jun Huan clearly noticed the happiness in Lin Xun’s expression and was deeply moved. “In recent years, every time news of you reached us, which of us of Fangchun Mountain wasn’t left astonished and emotional?”
She thought back to their first meeting. Lin Xun had just left the Ancient Wasteland Domain and had begun his journey across the vast starry sky. At that time, he had only just undergone the Saint Path Ritual and cultivated to the pinnacle of the Big Saint Stage.
Now, that same youth had become a supreme Emperor Ancestor who had slain countless Immortals! The past and present were worlds apart!
“Xun’er, I’ll leave you two to catch up.” Not far away, Lu Boya rose with a smile and turned to leave.
“Senior Sister, please have a seat.” Lin Xun stepped forward and personally poured a cup of tea for Jun Huan.
As she gracefully took her seat, her phoenix eyes curved into crescent moons as she looked at the busy Lin Xun. “Junior Brother, stop fussing around and sit down already.”
Lin Xun chuckled and took his seat, “Senior Sister, how did you know I was here?”
“You’re famous now in the Sixth Heaven Domain. Finding you wasn’t difficult,” Jun Huan teased, a sly smile playing on her lips.
Lin Xun was speechless for a moment, then said, “Senior Sister, I’ve carried many questions in my heart over the years. This time, you have to answer them.”
Jun Huan bit her lip lightly, a hint of awkwardness flashing in her eyes. “Some things can be answered, but others...maybe not. For example, if you asked whether I like you...wouldn’t that be too embarrassing?” She gave him a playful wink, her limpid eyes filled with teasing mischief.
“Then let me ask,” Lin Xun said with a smile, “Senior Sister, is there already someone you’ve set your heart on?” He was no longer as clueless about such matters. A verse drifted into his mind: Her smile is enchanting, her eyes captivating.
Jun Huan let out a soft sigh, her gaze setting on Lin Xun. “Those who admire me could form a line from the First Heaven Domain to the Ninth, but the only one to ever catch my eye...stands right before me.”
She was a beauty beyond compare, radiant and graceful. Even dressed in men’s attire, her every movement brimmed with charm. At this moment, as she gazed at Lin Xun, her shimmering eyes were tinged with rare shyness. That expression was simply spellbinding.
Lin Xun quickly looked away and cleared his throat. “Senior Sister, the person in front of you is me. You’re not saying I’m...the one, are you?”
Jun Huan said seriously, “Haven't you heard the saying? The moon reflected in the sea is the moon in the sky; the one before your eyes is the one in your heart.”
Lin Xun stared blankly.
Jun Huan burst into laughter. “Hey, I’m just teasing! Don’t take it so seriously.”
The corners of Lin Xun’s mouth twitched. “I figured.”
Jun Huan let out a playful laugh and said teasingly. “What’s this? Are you trying to make a move on your senior sister?”
Before he could say a word, she narrowed her beautiful eyes and added, “I must say, you’ve got good taste. Unlike Senior Brother Pu Zhen, that blockhead. Every time we meet, he goes on about how I’m neither male nor female, neither human nor demon, and insists I start dressing like a proper woman. Isn’t that infuriating? If you ask me, he won’t ever find a partner in his life.”
Lin Xun asked curiously, “Senior Sister, there’s nothing wrong with a woman disguising herself as a man, but is there a reason behind it?”
Jun Huan tilted her head. “Junior Brother, do you want to see me dressed as a woman?”
Lin Xun replied without hesitation, “Of course, Senior Sister, you’re already so beautiful even dressed as a man. If you returned to women’s attire, you’d be even more breathtaking.”
Jun Huan gently tapped Lin Xun’s forehead with her soft, fair fingers. “Beauty is like a bubble, rouge and powder fade to bones. This fleshly shell is nothing compared to the true great dao. That’s what the old monks of the Ancestral Hall of Buddhism said long ago.”
Lin Xun chuckled. “But I’m not a monk.”
Jun Huan let out a chuckle as well, then her expression turned serious. “I made a vow long ago. Unless I meet a man I truly like, I’ll never dress as a woman again.”
Lin Xun was taken aback. “So Senior Sister would only dress as a woman if she meets the right person?”
Jun Huan hummed in agreement.
“Then I’ll be looking forward to the day Senior Sister finds her special someone.” Lin Xun said with a smile.
Their conversations flowed naturally without a trace of awkwardness. They laughed and chatted with ease like siblings. During the conversation, he learned a great deal.
Ever since their eldest senior brother and third senior sister had journeyed through the starry skies and arrived at the Eternal True Realm, they had lingered briefly in this Sixth Heaven Domain. Afterward, they proceeded to the Seventh Heaven Domain.
More than ten years ago, a group of senior brothers, including Eldest SeniorBrother Combat Emperor, Fifth Senior Brother Blazing Jun, Eighth Senior Brother Clairvoyant, Eleventh SeniorBrother Pu Zhen, Twelfth Senior Brother Shen Yan and Thirteenth Senior Brother Li Xuanwei departed together for a place known as the Taiyu True Realm.
According to Jun Huan, the Taiyu True Realm was said to contain a great fortune tied to the path of Transcendence. The group had gone there in pursuit of that elusive opportunity.
Meanwhile, she and several other senior disciples, including Fifteenth Senior Brother Qing Ting, Sixteenth Senior Sister Cheng Yu, Nineteenth Senior Brother Xue Ya, Twentieth Senior Brother Well Moon, Twenty-Second Senior Brother Lancang Armor, and Twenty-Fifth Senior Brother Xiangliu Ruler, remained behind in the Seventh Heaven Domain.
Upon hearing this, a thought struck Lin Xun. He asked, “Senior Sister, after all these years, you’ve never once told me your ranking in the sect. Whenever I asked the others, they either avoided the question or gave vague answers. Isn’t it time you finally told me?”
Jun Huan’s exquisitely beautiful face flickered with changing emotion. Then she said irritably, “It’s just a ranking. Is it really that important?”
Lin Xun said, unrelenting. “If it’s not important, then why not tell me?”
Jun Huan stared at Lin Xun for a while, but seeing that he wouldn’t back down, she finally gave in. Gritting her teeth, she spat out two words through her rosy lips, “Thirty-eighth.”
“Three eight?”[1]
Lin Xun repeated, his expression turning a little odd. But the moment he caught sight of the murderous gleam in Jun Huan’s eyes, he immediately straightened up and said solemnly, “Senior Sister is right. It’s just a ranking. Not important at all.”
However, Jun Huan couldn’t bear it. She reached out and flicked Lin Xun’s forehead hard. With a cold snort, she warned, “Don’t ever bring up rankings in front of me again, or I’ll smash your head.”
She rolled up her sleeves and raised a threatening fist. Lin Xun broke into a cold sweat and he didn’t even dare to cry out. Smash my head? Senior Sister Jun Huan really is terrifying...
It was also then that he suddenly noticed something. Senior Sister Jun Huan, who was seated across from him, emanated an aura so faint it bordered on nothingness. There was no sign to read or discern her cultivation level.
“Senior Sister, have you become an Immortal?” he couldn’t help but ask.
“Of course,” Jun Huan replied casually, taking a sip of tea. “The Eternal True Realm is far superior to the Ancient Nebula Road. I reached the Heavenly Longevity Stage three years after arriving here. Just recently, I broke through to the Nirvana Spirit Stage. That kind of pace...not too shabby, right?”
Pu!
Lin Xun spat out a mouthful of tea. Not too shabby?
Jun Huan said with a smile, “Young man, no need to make such a fuss. Aren’t you underestimating your senior brothers and sisters a bit too much? Back in the primeval era of the Ancient Nebula Road, we had already set foot on the Emperor Path. But ever since then, our cultivation has been suppressed, trapped for ages, unable to break free.
“To be blunt, among the disciples of Fangchun Mountain, which of us doesn’t have the foundation and talent to reign over an era? Even someone like Senior Brother Pu Zhen is only slow in heart and lacking in insight, and not in cultivation.”
A hint of pride flashed across Jun Huan’s brows. “Think about it, after being suppressed for so long, once it erupts one day, that kind of potential...how could anyone else possibly compare?
“Take our eldest senior brother, for example, on the very day he arrived in the Eternal True Realm, it was as if all the shackles binding him shattered at once. In a single leap, he broke through the threshold of immortality. And in just three days, his cultivation soared to the Nirvana Spirit level. Now...that is what it means to defy the heavens!”
Lin Xun couldn’t help but inhale sharply. He never imagined his senior brothers and sisters to be this formidable. Perhaps it was just as Senior Sister Jun Huan had said. Back in the Ancient Nebula Road, the Fangchun Mountain successors had seemed as though bound in heavy shackles.
However, after arriving in the Eternal True Realm, those shackles vanished without a trace, and the potential, cultivation, and power that had been suppressed for countless years erupted and ascended in an unprecedented transformation!
The greater the suppression, the fiercer the eruption!
