Chapter 3042 The Principle of the Mastermind Behind the Scenes
Lin Xun's heart was in turmoil. He carefully examined the Alpha Origin Stone Statue, feeling increasingly uneasy. It was as if the statue possessed a strange, magical power that brought an irresistible chill of fear to his heart.
At the same time, an uncontrollable impulse surged within him, making him want to further sense the power of the stone statue with his divine sense. This impulse was so strong that it affected Lin Xun's state of mind, and his heart was filled with a strong yearning.
Just then, Xia Zhi's voice suddenly rang in his ears, "Lin Xun, what's wrong?"
Her clear, melodious voice, like a clap of thunder, suddenly awakened Lin Xun from that extreme impulse and yearning. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat, his face slightly pale.
What a sinister stone statue!
Lin Xun's heart churned, and he found himself unable to calm down for now. The feeling of unease, yearning, and pure impulse that had washed over him earlier had been like an invisible hand gripping his consciousness and state of mind.
If Xia Zhi hadn't spoken up in time, he would have probably already tried to scan the stone statue with his divine sense! What would have happened then? Lin Xun didn't know, but when he looked at the stone statue again, his expression was filled with caution and vigilance.
"Xia Zhi, did you hear a sigh just now?" Lin Xun suddenly asked.
Xia Zhi had already walked over and stood gracefully beside Lin Xun, shaking her head. "No. Your expression just now was strange, like your soul had been sucked away. That was why I had called out to you."
Lin Xun was stunned. "You didn't hear it...?"
Earlier, at the moment he had snapped out of his trance, he had clearly heard a sigh that was faint and ethereal, but when he tried to pinpoint it, he couldn't sense it anymore. Taking a deep breath, Lin Xun fell into thought.
In Ji Guizhen's memories, there was no record of how he obtained this Alpha Origin Stone Statue. It was as if all pertinent memories about it had been erased, leaving only a complete mystery. This made Lin Xun completely unaware of how Ji Guizhen had communicated with this Alpha Origin Stone Statue.
However, this only made everything seem even more abnormal. Could it be...that this Alpha Origin Stone Statue was the real trump card and trap?
Lin Xun suddenly thought of a possibility. On the surface, Ji Guizhen and his group were the ones targeting him, but in reality, this Alpha Origin Stone Statue was the greatest threat against him! If his speculation was true, then if he had accidentally used his divine sense just now, then it would have been extremely dangerous! However, Lin Xun couldn't be certain.
I want to see what kind of tricks you're playing...
Lin Xun took a deep breath and directly activated his Eternal law, transforming it into a cauldron shape. It suppressed the nine-inch-tall Alpha Origin Stone Statue, which was filled with a strange aura.
His Eternal Law was condensed from the complete Nirvana law, possessing incredible miraculous uses. His Nirvana law was what had allowed him to embark on the path of immortality, and it was also because of this that he was considered a threat by the mastermind behind the scenes! Because of all this, Lin Xun had chosen to suppress the statue with his Eternal Law that was condensed from the Nirvana law.
Sure enough, an incredible scene unfolded. The stone statue shattered, turning into powder, and the two characters that were engraved on its base instantly transformed into a wisp of gray lightning.
The strand of lightning was as thin as a hair, extremely small, but as soon as it appeared, it released an unimaginably terrifying power. Lin Xun felt as if his body and mind had been plunged into an ice abyss, and he felt an extremely intense and deadly aura. It was as if death was imminent!!
Lin Xun's heart sank, and his hands and feet turned cold. The terrifying aura made him feel a sense of despair, as if he was powerless to resist.
At this moment, the profundities of Nirvana that were embedded within his Eternal Law produced astonishing fluctuations, forcefully suppressing this wisp of gray lightning!
Bang bang bang!
Heart-stopping collision sounds resounded. The gray lightning continuously attacked, trying to break free from the suppression that the profundities of Nirvana had produced. However, his Eternal Law imbued with Nirvana continuously surged and roared, all the attacks of the gray lightning were dealt with one by one. Finally, it was completely suppressed.
Lin Xun was drenched in cold sweat after witnessing all of this. Just now it had felt like he had taken a stroll around the gates of hell. That intimate brush with death still left him with lingering fear. Although that wisp of gray lightning had been suppressed, it hadn't been refined. Instead, it was constantly moving through the principle of Nirvana, seemingly trying to find a way out.
To Lin Xun, it felt as if the principle of Nirvana were a fish tank, and this gray lightning was a fish trying to escape from its prison. However, its efforts were destined to be futile.
He took a few deep breaths until he finally calmed down, and only then did he begin to examine this wisp of gray lightning. It looked as thin as a hair and was extremely inconspicuous, but it was formed from an extremely mysterious and bizarre law power. Furthermore, the aura it emitted was incredibly terrifying. Just gazing at it instilled feelings of fear and despair.
Right! The mysterious aura that had emanated from that Alpha Origin Stone Statue earlier had this kind of bizarre aura!
Lin Xun's eyes flickered, and he vaguely understood something. The gray lightning was formed from the two mysterious dao inscriptions that said โAlpha Origin.โ Thus, that script must have been left behind by the mastermind behind the epochal calamities. Therefore, this undoubtedly meant that this gray lightning was very likely the law power possessed by that mastermind!
Thinking of this, Lin Xun couldn't help but get excited. That mastermind had always been incredibly mysterious. For countless epochs, no one knew the origin of this mastermind, nor did they know whether it was some kind of creature or formed from some kind of principle law.
Even supreme beings like Chen Linkong and Chen Xi were searching for clues about the mastermind. It was easy to imagine just how mysterious this mastermind was. Now, he had very likely suppressed a wisp of the law power belonging to that mastermind!! How could Lin Xun not be excited?
If I can reshape and refine this kind of law power, wouldn't it mean that I can also master the same law power as that mastermind? Since such a bizarre and terrifying law power can be suppressed by the profundities of Nirvana, does it mean that the path I am pursuing is very likely not inferior to that of the mastermind?
Lin Xun's mind was filled with wild thoughts. However, he soon quickly calmed down. What is currently being suppressed was merely a tiny, insignificant wisp of power, yet that power is already terrifyingly strong.
One could only imagine how terrifying it would be if the mastermind behind it unleashed their true power.
Furthermore, Lin Xun keenly noticed that although the profundities of Nirvana could suppress that wisp of gray lightning, it was almost impossible to refine it, let alone reshape and transform it...
It seems that the difference in cultivation strength between me and that mastermind is too vast, so the power of the mysteries of Nirvana I can exert is extremely limited, only enough to suppress this wisp of law power...
Lin Xun vaguely understood something. However, this didn't discourage him. Instead, it filled him with anticipation. When he one day attained the Creation Realm, or even the Immeasurable Realm, would he be able to refine this wisp of gray lightning, reshape, and transform it?
Because this gray lightning was formed from the inscriptions that meant โAlpha Originโ and came from the mastermind, Lin Xun called it the Alpha Origin Principle.
"Lin Xun, what's wrong?" Xia Zhi, who had been watching Lin Xun, couldn't help but ask. She had noticed his expression constantly changing, and his aura had fluctuated several times, making her somewhat worried.
"Nothing, I just made some new discoveries." Lin Xun smiled.
It was indeed a new discovery. He never expected to control a wisp of the Alpha Origin Principle belonging to the mastermind at this moment!
"How should we deal with this person?" Xia Zhi looked at Ji Guizhen's primordial spirit, which was still in Lin Xun's hand. At this moment, Ji Guizhen's face was ashen, and he remained silent, seemingly having completely given up.
"Let's keep him for now, and weโll deal with him later,โ Lin Xun said, and then stuffed Ji Guizhen's primordial spirit into the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron.
Then, he looked at Xia Zhi and said, "Xia Zhi, let's go back to the Origin Sect."
...
Origin Sect.
When Xuan Feiling learned everything that had happened from Lin Xun, his expression also became incredibly solemn. He said, "So, you plan to go to the Fortune Dominion?"
Lin Xun nodded. "That's right. Before I leave, I will leave the Black Water Dao Body and eight Divine Rank law powers to guard the Origin Sect. This way, even if enemies from the Fortune Dominion attack again, they won't be able to break through the Origin Sectโs defenses, and I can be completely at ease."
Xuan Feiling took a deep breath and said, "You must be careful!"
Lin Xun slightly cupped his hands. "Senior, before I return, please don't let this news leak out, lest it worry others."
"Okay!" Xuan Feiling nodded.
Afterward, Lin Xun returned to his cave dwelling and stood in front of Zhao Jingxuan, who was still asleep. After standing there quietly for a while, he then quietly turned and left.
"Xia Zhi, let's go."
On this day, Lin Xun and Xia Zhi, using the power of the Fortune Sword, traveled to the Fortune Dominion.
...
Fortune Dominion, the Great Qin Divine Domain, the Ninth Forbidden Zone.
Buzz! With a spatial fluctuation, Lin Xun's figure appeared out of thin air. At that moment, an incredibly oppressive and terrifying law power rushed towards him. To Lin Xun, it felt like an invisible cage was pressing down, trying to suppress him.
Lin Xun immediately restrained his Eternal aura, and the incredibly oppressive and terrifying law power disappeared, becoming invisible.
The last time, he had been a Heavenly Longevity Immortal and had used the Fortune Sword to enter the Fortune Dominion. Following that, he had arrived at the Ninth Forbidden Zone of the Great Qin Divine Domain.
Now, he was at the perfect Law Transcendence Realm of the Eternal Stage, so his state of mind was completely different when he returned to this place.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Lin Xun keenly sensed an extremely astonishing Transcendence immortal aura near the Ninth Forbidden Zone. Moreover, this aura was rapidly moving through space, fleeing into the distance. Clearly, the spatial fluctuations caused by his arrival had been noticed by this person, who immediately chose to retreat.
Lin Xun's eyes flickered, and he suddenly grabbed at the air. In the distant void, an old man's figure suddenly stumbled out of a spatial displacement. Before he could regain his balance, he was seized by Lin Xun's palm force and lifted up like an insect, brought right in front of Lin Xun.
The old man wore a dark robe, and his hair was as white as snow. In the Great Qin Divine Domain, where there were no Eternals, he was considered a supreme being. However, his current expression was filled with fear and terror, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
