Chapter 3038 Lin Xun's Wrath
Origin Sect.
Inside his cave haven, Lin Xun quietly opened his eyes from his meditation session. He had broken through! During this period, he had devoted himself to cultivation, refining nine Tribulation Divine Pills in succession, finally reaching peak Law Transcendence Realm.
The Tribulation Divine Pills were a treasure Lin Xun had obtained from the Eternal Divine Taihao Clan. Refining one was like entering a world of tribulations, allowing one's cultivation to undergo a profound tempering and refinement without the risk of cultivation deviation.
A single pill was worth as much as an Eternal weapon, possessing incredible power to allow Law Transcendence Realm experts to break through. Lin Xun had refined a full nine of them in one go to raise his cultivation to the perfect Law Transcendence Realm, demonstrating the immense strength of his cultivation base.
"The next step is the Creation Realm..." Lin Xun's eyes shone brightly. In the Creation Realm, the more law power a person refined, the more their cultivation level could improve.
Of course, all of this was not a problem for Lin Xun at all because what he currently lacked the least of were various Divine Rank law powers! Of course, there was a huge threshold between the Law Transcendence Realm and the Creation Realm, so breaking through was not an easy task.
Most importantly, in the period leading up to the upcoming epochal calamity, almost all experts above the Creation Realm would suffer from the Great Silence Unlife Calamity. In contrast, those in the Law Transcendence Realm were much less likely to be afflicted from that.
This was why, in the Ninth Heaven Domain, all those remaining among the twelve Eternal Divine Clans were Law Transcendence Eternals, while there were almost none of the old relics at the Creation Realm and above. The threat from the Great Silence Unlife Calamity was too severe.
Therefore, Lin Xun also had to be wary. When he had attained his Eternal dao, he was targeted by the mastermind behind the epochal calamities. Although he had yet to encounter the Great Silence Unlife Calamity, no one could predict when it would strike. However, he was certain that if he were to attain the Creation Realm in the Eternal True Realm, the probability of being struck by this calamity would be much higher.
Lin Xun suddenly remembered something. Back then, Chen Linkong had mentioned that within the Eternity Boat lay a star atlas leading to the Eternity Door, and within that door lay a great opportunity related to the Eternal Stage...
Now, he had already reached the peak Law Transcendence Realm and possessed the capability to go to the Eternity Door.
However, Lin Xun also hadn't forgotten that long ago, the Omega Lord had also gone to search for the Eternity Door. Unfortunately, a mysterious dao bell, permeated with chaotic energy, appeared from the Eternity Door, severely injuring his great-grandfather!
In addition, when the Eternal Night Divine Emperor was traveling to Fortune Divine City, a dao bell had also appeared, and she was then struck with the Great Silence Unlife Calamity! That dao bell had an extremely peculiar name—Alpha Origin!
This made Lin Xun suspect that the dao bell within the Eternity Door might very well be the very same dao bell that had appeared when the Eternal Night Divine Emperor was struck by the Great Silence Unlife Calamity. Furthermore, the meaning contained in the name ‘Alpha Origin’ was far too unusual!
Lin Xun even suspected that Alpha Origin was actually the name of the mastermind behind the epochal calamities. All of this made him hesitate.
Should he go to the Eternity Door? Perhaps he could ask Xia Zhi first? After all, the Eternity Boat had accompanied the Eternal Night Divine Emperor for many years. Even though Xia Zhi hadn't inherited the Eternal Night Divine Emperor's memories and wisdom, she was now essentially the master of the Eternity Boat.
Just as Lin Xun was pondering, a frantic voice suddenly rang out, “Husband!”
Immediately afterward, Zhao Jingxuan, her face pale and her expression panicked, rushed into the cave, her voice trembling, “Husband, Fan’er just used all his life-saving trump cards, he...he must be in trouble!”
Lin Xun’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly embraced the panicked Zhao Jingxuan and said gently, “Don’t panic, tell me what happened?”
His voice carried a reassuring quality. Zhao Jingxuan had calmed down somewhat, but her face was still filled with worry. She said, “I was cultivating just now, but all the talismans on me shattered one by one...”
As she spoke, she flipped her palm, revealing that all ten talismans had turned to dust. This meant that Lin Fan had encountered danger and had used his life-saving trump cards.
This was precisely the reason for her panic and unease. Seeing this, a chill crept into Lin Xun's eyes, his dark gaze becoming cold and menacing. He instantly realized that someone who could force Lin Fan to use so many life-saving trump cards was likely not someone who was below the Eternal Stage! However, who was behind this? In this world, who dared to oppose him?
"Husband, please think of something! If Fan'er is harmed, I...I..." Zhao Jingxuan's face was pale as she was completely distraught.
Lin Xun took a deep breath, patted her shoulder, and said, "It's alright. With me here, Fan'er will be fine."
His voice was calm, yet filled with unwavering determination. Back then, Tang Jiang, a little girl who had never cultivated before, was saved by him when there was only a drop of blood left after a horrific tragedy.
Now, even if his son Lin Fan were to perish, as long as there was even the slightest chance of survival, Lin Xun would do everything in his power to save him! Of course, this was the worst-case scenario. His most urgent task was to find out the situation as quickly as possible.
Thinking of this, Lin Xun's heart stirred. He asked, "Jingxuan, when Fan'er left, did he carry any treasure that could help us find his trail?"
Zhao Jingxuan's eyes lit up. "Yes! Senior Xuan Feiling gave Fan'er a jade pendant. According to him, this pendant is called Formless Spiritual Trace. Wherever Fan'er goes, a trace of its aura will remain along his path. This means we can find him by following this aura!"
As she spoke, she grabbed Lin Xun's sleeve and headed out of the cave. "Husband, let's go find Senior Xuan Feiling."
However, Lin Xun gently patted her shoulder. "Jingxuan, your mind is in turmoil. Stay and rest. When you wake up, I will bring Fan'er to see you."
His voice was still echoing when Zhao Jingxuan fell asleep, her soft body nestled in Lin Xun's arms. He placed her on the bed, took a deep breath, suppressed his killing intent, and was about to leave when Xia Zhi suddenly emerged from the Eternity Boat. "I'll go with you."
"You heard everything?" Lin Xun was taken aback.
Xia Zhi nodded, her voice clear and crisp. "With my current strength, killing an opponent at the Law Transcendence Realm shouldn't be a problem."
Lin Xun looked Xia Zhi up and down, and indeed found that her aura had clearly changed, becoming increasingly obscure and mysterious.
"Alright." Lin Xun didn't want to delay any longer and went with Xia Zhi to find Xuan Feiling.
Meanwhile, upon learning of Lin Xun's purpose, Xuan Feiling realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately handed Lin Xun a jade slip, saying, "This is a secret method for capturing the aura of the Formless Spiritual Trace talisman. Take it, and I will keep this a secret for you. No one else will know. You can go search for Lin Fan with peace of mind."
"Thank you for your help, Senior." Lin Xun took the jade slip and turned to leave. That day, he and Xia Zhi left the Origin Sect without a sound.
...
The Sixth Heaven Domain.
On a boundless, azure sea floated a barren island.
"Brother Ji, are you sure Lin Xun will come?" lazily asked the black-robed man, Gaoyang Li, while drinking. He was reclining on a rock, and his demeanor was relaxed and unrestrained.
"He will." The speaker was a man of impeccable bearing and imposing stature. His hands were behind his back. His handsome face looked as if it had been sculpted by a knife and axe, and his deep eyes held the strange phenomena of the starry sky.
He exuded an overwhelming aura of power. He was Ji Guizhen from the Divine Ji Clan of the World of the Divine.
“Alas, if it weren’t for these ties, I would love to stay in this Eternal True Realm forever. It’s far better than the prison that is the Fortune Dominion.” Gaoyang Li sighed softly.
Ji Guizhen said indifferently, “Even here, we can’t escape from the sinister grasp of the Great Silence Unlife Calamity. Moreover, in less than nine hundred years, after the epochal calamity descends, this world will be utterly destroyed. If we’re lucky, this epoch’s civilization might survive in the Fortune Dominion; if not, everything will be over.”
Gaoyang Li paused, then chuckled, “In that case, for us, the Fortune Dominion, besides being like a prison, is actually a good place.”
Ji Guizhen remained noncommittal. At this moment, Jiang Jue, who had been silent until now, suddenly turned her sharp, blade-like eyes to the distance, her beautiful, icy face still devoid of any emotion. She said, “He’s here.”
Gaoyang Li rolled off the rock, smiling broadly. "I really want to see how this little fellow, who was only Heavenly Longevity Immortal when he escaped from Fortune Divine City, attained eternity in less than a century. And how he single-handedly swept through the Eternal Divine Clans of the Ninth Heaven Domain. In the World of Divine, his feats would be considered an unprecedented miracle."
As he spoke, he also looked into the distance.
"Be careful, let’s not fight if we can avoid it," Ji Guizhen said softly, his hands behind his back. His white robes fluttered around him as he also looked into the distance.
In the far distance, a tall, imposing figure moved through the void, appearing before the island in the blink of an eye. It was Lin Xun!
"You captured my son?" Lin Xun's dark eyes were deep and cold, and the killing intent surging within him was almost uncontrollable.
He could tell at a glance that the two men and one woman present possessed extraordinary auras. Although they were all trying their best to suppress their cultivation bases, they were undoubtedly beings who had stepped onto the path of eternity.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, please calm down." Gaoyang Li said with a smile, "I can assure you that neither a single hair on the heads of your disciple Su Bai and your son Lin Fan have been harmed. The reason we did this was simply to meet with Fellow Daoist Lin and discuss something with you."
