The Prodigies War-Chapter 2922 Arrival

The Sixth Heaven Domain was vast beyond measure, made up of thirty-six divine states and countless territories, so it was home to hundreds of Immortal Imperial Clans of every scale and power. In addition, there were countless academies, sects and factions.

In just three short days, the entire domain was in turmoil. Nearly every Immortal Imperial Clan and great power in the Sixth Heaven Domain was shaken again and again, startled each time new news arrived.

As more and more reports poured in...

The entire world was left trembling in shock. Nine Immortal Imperial Clans were wiped out in one breath! Moreover, the fall of each clan was eerily identical: their high-ranking members executed, their Emperors crippled, their law power seized, and their ancestral stronghold reduced to ashes.

Every trace pointed to the same hand behind it all.

“Who could possess such monstrous power?”

Countless hearts quaked and voices cried out in horror. The one behind this was so swift and so cold-blooded that it was beyond imagination. The answer soon became clear. Though the nine Immortal Imperial Clans had been annihilated, their surviving members spread the tale far and wide, and with it, one name surfaced again and again.

Lin Xun!

That heaven-defying figure, the man branded the number one enemy of the Ten Clans Alliance, had returned to the Sixth Heaven Domain! In that instant, even the dullest fool realized that an earth-shattering calamity had begun. A world-shaking calamity!

“Lin Xun, a deputy pavilion master of the Origin Sect, a successor of Fangchun Mountain...he once fought his way from the Great Thousand Battle Realm all the way to the Sixth Heaven Domain! He joined the Origin Sect as the number one disciple, crushed the Donghuang’s Four Clans, the top powers of the Seventh Heaven Domain, and also slaughtered experts from the Ten Immortal Giants in the Immortal Dao Battle...”

“Only someone as unmatched and terrifying as him could annihilate nine Immortal Imperial Clans in three days and meet no resistance at all!”

“Heavens! The Sixth Heaven Domain will surely fall into chaos because of this!”

“Think about it! Every one of those destroyed clans had once trampled on the Peng Clan, seizing their lands and power. If they hadn’t attacked the Peng Clan under the banner of serving the Ten Clans Alliance, would they have met such a fate?”

“Did they forget that the Origin Sect once declared that any who stand against Lin Xun are enemies of the sect? Those nine Immortal Imperial Clans probably never took that warning seriously!”

Discussions and outcries swept through the Sixth Heaven Domain, reverberating across countless sects and clans. All trembled in awe and disbelief regardless of their cultivation level. As the initial shock faded, a grim realization spread like wildfire. Lin Xun’s return would bring about a storm of blood!

“If Lin Xun had stayed within the protection of the Origin Sect, the Ten Clans Alliance wouldn’t have been able to touch him. But now that he’s appeared openly in the Sixth Heaven Domain, he’s thrown himself into the jaws of danger!”

“Just wait...once the Ten Clans Alliance learns of this, they’ll mobilize at once to deliver the most lethal strike imaginable!”

“Lin Xun isn’t some reckless fool. He’s the deputy pavilion master of the Origin Sect. Could his high-profile return to the Sixth Heaven Domain be part of a deeper plan?”

While the heavens boiled with rumor and fear, Lin Xun’s Green Wood Dao Body had already acted, sealing every member of the Peng Clan into a treasure and carrying them away from Heavenly Fortune Divine Mountain.

Lin Xun’s true body remained behind. Waiting.

He had already exacted complete vengeance upon all his enemies in the Sixth Heaven Domain. Once the news spread, the Ten Clans Alliance would inevitably send their forces! In addition, Heavenly Fortune Divine Mountain, once the stronghold of the Peng Clan, was a perfect battlefield.

Two days later...

When the Green Wood Dao Body returned, Lin Xun’s true body immediately understood all that had happened. The entire Peng Clan had been safely transported to Aurora Cave, one of the three great forbidden zones of the Rowdy Demon Sea.

The Green Wood Dao Body had also met with Lu Boya and Luo Qingxun, entrusting the matter of resettling the entire Peng Clan to Luo Xiao, the patriarch of the Luo Clan. With that, Lin Xun could finally breathe freely. A great weight had been lifted from his heart.

Night descended. The moon hung bright while the stars lay scattered and faint. A soft wind drifted through the Heavenly Fortune Divine Mountain. Upon a lonely peak, Lin Xun sat by the cliff’s edge, a wine gourd in hand, his robes fluttering like drifting clouds. Against the moonlit backdrop, he looked like a reclusive immortal.

“In another twenty years or so, Pavilion Master You Beihai will attempt to certify his Eternal dao. When that time comes, an unprecedented calamity will surely follow...” he murmured, taking a slow sip of wine.

“That calamity may descend upon the Origin Sect...or the Spirit Sect...or perhaps even the Taiyu True Realm. But no matter where it begins...its aim is me.”

Lin Xun knew that his eternal supremacy path and the Divine Rank law he commanded had long unsettled the Eternal Divine Clans of the Ninth Heaven Domain, leaving them restless and unable to remain still.

These Eternal Divine Clans might not yet act personally, but they could still command their pawns: the Ten Immortal Giants, the Zen Sect, and the Shaman Sect!

Lin Xun was not afraid of them, nor of the forces they controlled. However, he could not bear to let such a calamity touch those behind him, such as his fellow disciples of the Origin Sect and his senior brothers and sisters of Fangchun Mountain.

He would rather shoulder the burden alone than see even a single one of them harmed. That was why he had come to the Sixth Heaven Domain: To battle the enemy alone.

From the very moment he appeared here, the initiative had already fallen into his hands. His enemies would never have dreamed he would dare appear in the Sixth Heaven Domain alone. However, the moment they sent their forces against him, they would already be dancing to his tune.

Lin Xun was confident that unless the true forms of those Eternal beings descended personally, there was no power in this world that could threaten him. In truth, he welcomed their pursuit and the more forces they sent, the better.

“Within twenty years, I must reach the pinnacle of the Transcendence Realm. Then, even against the Will Dharma Form of Eternal beings, it will be much easier.” Lin Xun muttered.

After a long while, he raised the gourd and drank deeply, his dark eyes gleaming with unshakable resolve.

......

Nine days after the fall of the nine Immortal Imperial Clans.

Heavenly Tides Divine State. The territory of the Immortal Imperial Zheng Clan.

At dawn, Zheng Wanhong, the patriarch of the Zheng Clan, led a host of the clan’s high-ranking figures to a vast plain. They waited in silence, every so often glancing toward the heavens.

Two hours passed. Suddenly, a thunderous roar erupted from the depths of the sky. Space itself rippled and warped, and a host of radiant, awe-inspiring figures appeared from nothingness. It was as though gods had descended from beyond the firmament!

“Welcome, esteemed lords!” Zheng Wanhong and other Zheng Clan elders stiffened, then bowed in unison, awe etched across their faces.

“No need for formalities. Lead us to our lodgings.” From above, the tall, leading figure spoke in a deep voice that resounded like the music of the great dao.

“Yes!” Zheng Wanhong answered solemnly, accepting the command. He suppressed the trembling in his voice, forcing down the mix of unease and excitement in his heart, and led the way with the other clan members.

“Compared to the Eighth Heaven Domain, the spiritual qi in this place is pitifully thin. I can’t imagine how the cultivators of this realm even manage to reach immortality.”

“Haha, the Sixth Heaven Domain may be lacking, but it’s still paradise compared to the First. That place is a festering swamp. Forget immortality, it’s a miracle if one reaches the Emperor Ancestor Realm.”

“Why do you think Lin Xun chose to come to the Sixth Heaven Domain? Does he really believe that just because he walks the Eternal Supremacy Path, he can do as he pleases?”

“That boy must have another agenda. We’d best uncover it quickly.”

The figures who had descended like gods moved through the air as they spoke. There were ten in total, all hailing from the Eighth Heaven Domain. Each was an ancient monster who had reached the pinnacle of the Transcendence Realm. Here in the Sixth Heaven Domain, they were supreme existences that ruled above all like sovereigns.

At their head was Wang Daoxing, an elder of the Immortal Giant Wang Clan. Tall and slender, with a face as fine as carved jade and wide sleeves fluttering in the wind, he held a jade ruler in one hand, his bearing serene yet commanding.

The nine figures following behind him hailed from the remaining nine Immortal Giants. Before long, under Zheng Wanhong’s guidance, Wang Daoxing and the others arrived at Clustered Clouds Divine Mountain, the territory of the Zheng Clan.

Inside a grand hall, Wang Daoxing sat at the main seat, his expression calm yet commanding. “How’s the intelligence gathering going?”

The nine elders beside him turned their gazes to Zheng Wanhong. Feeling his knees weaken under the pressure of ten immortal auras, Zheng Wanhong hurriedly stepped forward, holding a jade slip with both hands. “My lords, every detail from the past few days is recorded within this jade slip.”

Wang Daoxing accepted it and scanned the contents. His face remained calm but serious. The jade slip mentioned Lin Xun’s appearance in the Heavenly Water Divine State, his clashes with the Yao and Ling Clans, and the horrifying destruction of nine Immortal Imperial Clans a few days ago.

It even documented the deep-rooted grudges between those clans and the Peng Clan over the last eighteen years. Within moments, Wang Daoxing had grasped the entire situation.

He passed the jade slip to the other nine elders, then turned back to Zheng Wanhong. He asked, “Have you uncovered Lin Xun’s whereabouts?”

Zheng Wanhong lowered his head. “Reporting to my lord...Lin Xun’s movements are elusive. His strength is...overwhelming. Even with all the resources of my clan, we have been unable to trace him.”

“Useless trash!” snapped one of the old monsters.

Zheng Wanhong flinched violently and bowed again, his voice trembling. “Please forgive me, senior!”

“Enough. We’ll be staying within your Zheng Clan’s residence for some time. There are a few matters we’ll require your assistance with.” Wang Daoxing said lightly.

“It is the Zheng Clan’s greatest honor to serve you!” Zheng Wanhong declared hastily. “Whatever your commands may be, we will obey! Even if it costs us our lives!”

Wang Daoxing gave a faint nod. “Good. If things proceed smoothly, the Zheng Clan will not go unrewarded once we depart. Now, here’s your first task.”

Zheng Wanhong said solemnly, “Please give the order, my lord!”

“In the name of your Zheng Clan, spread word that the forces of the Ten Clans Alliance have descended upon this world. Announce that anyone who can provide clues to Lin Xun’s whereabouts will earn the friendship and the reward of the Ten Immortal Giants,” Wang Daoxing said in a deep, commanding voice.

That single command made Zheng Wanhong’s blood run cold. “In the name...of the Zheng Clan?”

If this news spread, Lin Xun would surely hold a grudge against them!

“What’s wrong? Do you have a problem with that?” Wang Daoxing asked.

Zheng Wanhong shuddered violently. Gritting his teeth, he forced himself to bow and said, “At once, my lord!”
