Chapter 1194 Fishing for Stars
Three Supreme Kings were put to death one after another in the fierce battle.
The remaining four fled!
Watching this all happen, the cultivators of various major forces on Flying Star Mountain all started screaming and fleeing in a panic.
When even Supreme Kings were no match for Lin Xun, who dared to stay?
In their eyes, he was now unbeatable, and his invincible momentum could send chills down anyone’s spine.
“Die!” uttered Lin Xun coldly.
In a flash, he appeared behind a fleeing Supreme King and deployed a destructive punch.
This Supreme King had been a domineering, conceited young man, but at this moment, his face was drowned in despair as he tried to resist like a trapped beast.
In the end, the punch killed him straightaway. He burst into pieces, and his blood spattered like rain.
“Run!”
Flying Star Mountain had become the definition of chaos with people yelling, crying, and running like headless flies.
Their source of confidence had been the seven Supreme Kings, but everything crumbled after four were killed in a succession.
Fighting back was simply impossible!
Even though Demon God Lin was all alone, he had the power to wipe out the entire place. Who could compete with him?
They even suspected that it would be difficult to quench his momentum even if Ninth Prince Wu Lingfeng returned.
“Die!”
Lin Xun’s voice once again rang out coldly. He spread his fingers, and a river of stars manifested in the sky.
Every star was burning with fire dao energy, raising the might of this skill to a completely new height.
In a rumble, a terrified Supreme King who had fled high in the sky was engulfed by the star river before he could escape Shooting Star Mountain.
The thousands of stars exploded and heavily injured him. He died while screaming mournfully and unwillingly, his flesh and bones melted away, and his primordial spirit completely destroyed!
“Huh?”
Lin Xun was about to chase after a Supreme King in another direction, but he instantly changed his mind upon noticing the trail of the fiery-robed man.
In a whoosh, he disappeared.
The fiery-robed man had been the first to flee, but he fled toward the top of the mountain.
At this moment, he had arrived at the place where an aeth waterfall was located.
Below the waterfall was a pond in which three Dual System Divine Lotuses were swaying, looking holy and dreamy as the energy of yin and yang flowing along them.
As soon as the fiery-robed man arrived, he waved his hand. A holy haze swept out toward the lotuses.
But almost at the same time, a layer of terrifying restrictive energy suddenly surfaced around the pond and spread out.
In a rumble, the holy haze was smashed to nothingness, but the restrictive energy didn’t stop there. The fiery-robed man was nearly hit, only barely managing to dodge.
“That damned Wu Lingfeng, he even has a forbidden formation set up here!” The fiery-robed man’s face dropped in anger, realizing that even though Wu Lingfeng had left, he still had never trusted any of the forces who had submitted to him at all!
“Dual System Divine Lotus?”
Lin Xun appeared, his eyes gleaming. Even he was shocked by the lotuses, knowing they were divine herbs that had long been extinct in the outside world and only existed in legends.
And yet, at this moment, there were three of them in this pond!
No wonder Flying Star Mountain was regarded as a great blessed land. It was indeed a godly, prosperous place created by heaven.
Whoosh!
The fiery-robed man fled without hesitation.
Being absolutely crushed by Lin Xun was already unacceptable to him.
Adding his failure to seize the lotuses on top of that, he was so furious that he nearly vomited blood. Just as he had feared, Lin Xun caught up during his distress.
Without a doubt, the fiery-robed man was killed in the end. In his final moment, he was still staring at the Dual System Divine Lotuses regretfully, and the better part of his seething hatred was on Wu Lingfeng…
As far as he was concerned, if it wasn’t for Wu Lingfeng laying down a restrictive formation and thwarting his chance of seizing the lotuses, he would have had time to escape!
Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets.
With the fiery-robed man’s death, only one Supreme King was able to escape among the seven.
Lin Xun was too lazy to go after that person. Instead, he fixed his gaze on the lotus plants in the pond.
A while later, he successfully destroyed the restriction layer covering the pond and seized the three Dual System Divine Lotuses.
“With this divine herb, I can master another heavenly grand dao!” His eyes shone brightly.
The grand daos in the world were divided into nine classes, but above the nine classes, there were ninety-nine heavenly grand daos!
The Dual System Divine Lotus contained the two grand daos of Yin and Yang. Once fused, they would form a heavenly grand dao called Tai Chi!
As early as the ancient era, this dao was regarded as the origin dao of heaven and earth, capable of miraculous effects.
Lin Xun then proceeded to sweep through Flying Star Mountain for loot!
As one of the few great blessed lands in the Mythic Fire Realm, Flying Star Mountain had nurtured fortunes that were beyond what he could imagine.
In a pine forest by a cliff, he found a golden deodar pine that had birthed a fragrant golden pinecone, which was also a divine herb.
On the bank of a mountain stream, there was a glowing herb garden steaming with herbal scents, creating a dense and colorful aeth mist.
There were over a dozen King-grade herbs growing in the garden!
In addition to those, there was also an ore vein that produced rare aeth materials and a bubbling aeth spring…
All of them fell into Lin Xun’s hands.
The major forces on the mountain were all fleeing in a panic, but there were also people who wanted to fish in muddy waters before leaving.
Later, he reached the top of the mountain where a range of palaces stood. They were originally occupied by the major forces stationed here.
When Lin Xun arrived, these palaces had long been empty. There was a mess of scattered treasures, but most of them weren’t worthy of his interest.
Even so, he still made a killing, collecting an array of aeth materials for crafting, and various pills and treasures.
Although he couldn’t use the majority of them, it didn’t make them any less valuable.
“Hmm?”
When Lin Xun was about to leave the palace where the Golden Crow Lineage resided, he suddenly noticed an ancient painting on the wall.
The scroll was four feet long and one foot wide, and it had turned yellow and mottled.
On the scroll, a slim figure leisurely sat atop the galaxy, exuding an aura of freedom and liberty.
In his hands was a fishing rod, below him was a boundless river of twinkling stars.
He was fishing on a star river!
The picture was ordinary, even somewhat gloomy and old, but what it presented was nothing short of shocking.
Looking at the past and present, who had ever been able to sit above the galaxy and fish for stars?
What stage of cultivation must one reach to have that kind of transcendence, to possess such a free and comfortable temperament?
Lin Xun was touched, and his eyes were glued to the picture.
But upon closer inspection, he found that the slim figure only revealed a side profile, and it was extremely blurry.
The fishing rod in his hands had no fishing line.
Does this picture depict the saying ‘Those who wish to be hooked will deliver themselves?’
Lin Xun suddenly had an idea. He probed the picture with his spirit sense, trying to feel it.
However, there was nothing to gain, as if it was just a normal ancient painting.
He frowned, thinking that since this picture was hung here like decoration, the Golden Crow Clan probably hadn’t figured out any secrets from it.
But why did he feel that something was off?
Lin Xun’s gaze drifted to the slim figure sitting cross-legged on the starry sky, and he started to scrutinize it.
In a trance, he felt a sense of familiarity.
It’s him!
As realization hit, he took out a copper block.
A painting of an old man in dao robe who was riding on the back of an azure bull and looking up at the sky in a leisurely manner was engraved on the rusted copper block.
The picture was ancient and blurry after years of erosion, but it was brimming with supreme pressure!
That pressure was so vast that it felt like the old man could come to life at any moment.
His gaze alone made one’s heart tremble. His eyes were unfathomable as they reflected the sun and moon, the changing of the years, and the mysteries of the heavenly dao!
This was the picture, Daoist Riding a Bull!
Back in the West Infinity World when Lin Xun had been pursued by the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan, he had to hide in the mountains.
In the process, he had released a Blood Leopard out of kindness, and the latter had unexpectedly returned the favor by giving him this block of copper engraved with the picture of a daoist on a bull.
He had investigated and learned that this copper block came from a cultivator who had long since passed away.
This person had wanted to follow the example of the saints and cross the starry sky for the All-Wonder Dominion, one of the four great dao dominions.
But after searching for 48,000 years, he had failed to realize this wish and died with regret!
As for this copper block that the cultivator had regarded as a relic of the sages, it had been coincidentally acquired by the Blood Leopard and then fell into Lin Xun’s hands.
Because of this, Lin Xun had guessed that this Daoist Riding a Bull picture had to be related to the All-Wonder Dominion!
At this moment, he compared the two pictures and realized that the old man riding the bull and the slim figure fishing for stars were the same person!
Lin Xun was astonished. This ancient painting is really not simple at all!
Suddenly, his palm felt hot, and he saw that the rusty copper block was discharging a wisp of divine breath that surged into the Fishing for Stars picture.
In that instant, an amazing scene played out. The original yellowish and old scroll suddenly looked like it had come to life as it glowed with a holy luster.
The fisherman above the starry sky suddenly let out a loud laugh. “Interesting. After endless years of waiting, the destined one has finally come. He who wishes to be hooked has delivered himself.”
Saying that, he gently shook the fishing rod in his hand, and from the infinite galaxy river, a bright star was fished up!
