Chapter 1309 Discuss the Battle of Nine Domains

“You two, since you are here, why don’t you join us for a drink?”

Lin Xun turned his head and looked at Yuan Fatian and Little Golden Winged Dapeng King in the distance.

Taken aback by the invitation, Little Golden-Winged Dapeng King hesitated.

“Let’s go, why won’t I go? Do you think I would be afraid of Lin Xun?!” Yuan Fatian snorted.

“Alright, both Lin Xun and Shaohao are people I wanted to meet.” Little Golden-Winged Dapeng King nodded.

The conflict came to an end.

The spectators watching from afar realized that, after this battle, the name of Demon God Lin would shake the Upper Nine Realms once again.

Additionally, Shaohao’s apology would surely become a point of discussion.

......

Flying Star Mountain was full of distinguished visitors.

Lin Xun, A’lu, Toady, the big black bird, Shaohao, Yuan Fatian and Little Golden Winged Dapeng King were all sitting on the ground, drinking and chatting amid an atmosphere of joy and harmony.

Only Wanyin, Bai Qian, Yao Li, and Yu Xi remained silent, sipping their drinks with their heads down low.

This gathering started against a backdrop of their tragic defeat, but now they were sitting with their opponent Lin Xun. Of course, they would feel awkward and uncomfortable.

“In a few months, the Battle of Supreme Realm will come to an end, but the battle of the great age is not over yet.” Shaohao set down the cup in his hand and sighed emotionally, “Over the years, countless changes have happened in the Ancient Wasteland Domain. When we return, I wonder who will be leading the world.”

Those words hit them hard.

They counted the time and realized they had been in the Supreme Realm for over eight years.

Before they came here, they were only cultivators of the Five Great Cultivation Stages, but now, everyone was a supreme king who had set foot into the Longevity Stage.

What a change!

If they had not entered the Supreme Realm, then it would have been impossible for their cultivation to have undergone such an astonishing transformation-like change in just a few years.

“The great age is spectacular and unprecedented, but the energy of heaven and earth will inevitably decline after a period of prosperity. No one knows what the world will turn to once the great age comes to an end.”

The Little Golden Winged Dapeng King said calmly, “As cultivators, we have no control over the changes of the world. The only thing we can do is go against all odds and seek greater breakthroughs.”

“That’s right.” Shaohao nodded, and then he pondered for a moment and said aloud, “However, if my guess is correct, when we leave the Supreme Realm, we will have to face a serious problem.”

“What is it?”

Everyone felt a chill.

Shaohao lightly spat out, “The battle of the nine domains!”

Many people’s expressions altered subtly. They vaguely understood what he meant.

In ancient times, powerful enemies from the eight other domains had attempted to invade the Ancient Wasteland Domain and wipe out its ancient orthodoxies.

This was known as the battle of the nine domains.

Over the years, similar great wars had broken out more than once and under such large-scale killings, Saints were eliminated like weeds and living beings could only drift with the tide!

For example, the Ancient Wasteland Domain, a complete perfect world, was destroyed and divided into four worlds, East Victory, West Infinity, South Wonder and North Dipper, as a result of the catastrophe caused by the invasion from the other eight domains.

The boundary river that ran through the four worlds was one of the scars left from the war in the Ancient Wasteland Domain!

“Now, the Ancient Wasteland Domain is welcoming an unprecedented great age. It is absolutely impossible that the other eight domains would just sit and watch the rise of Ancient Wasteland Domain.”

Shaohao’s gaze was unfathomable. “This is a blood feud between the domains, which has been formed since ancient times. If it weren’t for the sages who shed their blood and fought with their all back then, defeating the enemies, the Ancient Wasteland Domain likely would have become prisoner to the eight domains and ruled by them.”

Suddenly, everyone felt depressed.

They all knew about this matter more or less. Although they had not personally experienced it, they knew that if a similar war happened again, the Ancient Wasteland Domain would indeed be plunged into great turmoil!

“Buried underneath the Boundary River are the corpses of our enemies, but also souls of countless heroic sages from our Ancient Wasteland Domain!

“Since ancient times, countless heroes have fallen from fighting back foreign enemies.

“Now, this might happen again. For the Ancient Wasteland Domain and for all living beings in the world, it is no doubt a catastrophe accompanied by blood.

“Can the eggs remain unbroken when the nest is toppled?

“Everyone, what I said today is by no means groundless. I just want to remind everyone that the competition in the Supreme Realm is ultimately a matter of our generations, but the catastrophe that results from the battle of the nine domains...no one can think only about themselves!”

When Shaohao said this, his voice was filled with determination and killing intent. “My only hope is that, when that day comes, by adhering to my great dao, I will kill all foreign enemies across the nine heavens!”

An impressive aura spread outwards from Shaohao’s majestic figure, stirring the clouds and startling everyone else.

At that moment, he showed the bearing that was worthy of being the number one on the Genius Gold Rankings. Even Lin Xun was awed.

“Apologies.” Shaohao seemed to realize that he had lost his composure, and immediately restrained his aura. “To tell you the truth, in ancient times, members of our Astral Imperial Clan were destroyed by enemies from the eight domains.

“It’s the same for Bai Qian, Yu Xi, Yan Shan, and Yan Hai. Their respective clans have also suffered near-destruction in the war against foreign enemies.

“Like me, one day, they will avenge their clans!”

The faces of Bai Qian and the others clouded over with sorrow, and their hearts were swaying.

Lin Xun and the others finally understood why Bai Qian and the others would follow Shaohao.

They shared the same goal and the same enemy!

“If that day comes, Brother Lin, what would you do?” Shaohao suddenly asked, staring curiously at Lin Xun.

“Of course, I won’t sit still and wait for death.” Lin Xun answered casually. How capable one was determined how much one was able to achieve.

At present, he did not have the ability to be concerned about or rescue the people of the world, so he would not make empty promises.

A question came to Lin Xun so he asked, “Why do the eight domains always come to invade, but the experts of Ancient Wasteland Domain have never taken the initiative to attack?”

A helpless smile tugged Shaohao’s lips. “The reason is very simple. Among the nine domains, the Ancient Wasteland is the most desolate and deteriorating. There might be countless ancient orthodoxies, but in truth, our foundation is far inferior to that of the other eight domains.”

This was reality!

If you were weak, you would be beaten.

How would the sages and authorities of Ancient Wasteland Domain throughout the ages never thought about taking the initiative to attack the other eight domains and get revenge?

They had never succeeded because it was too difficult!

“I heard that in the other eight domains, if one wants to achieve the supreme stage on the cultivation path, there are no constraints from the power of higher order. It is more than normal, but in our Ancient Wasteland, it can only be achieved during the great age,” Little Golden Winged Dapeng King sighed.

This sentence made Lin Xun and the others widen their eyes. They almost couldn’t believe it.

They knew better than anyone else how difficult the Supreme Stage was.

But someone said that in the other eight domains, it was nothing special to reach the Supreme Stage! How could they not be shocked?

“The Ancient Wasteland Domain is not called the abandoned dao domain for no reason.”

Shaohao spoke aloud and told a story from the past.

“It is said that at the beginning of the ancient era, the most powerful among the nine domains was the Ancient Wasteland Domain. But later, a battle of the great dao that involved the nine domains led to the Ancient Wasteland Domain losing part of its primal chaos origin. From then on, the laws and order of the world became incomplete, and the energy of heaven and earth gradually weakened...”

Lin Xun thought about what the mysterious woman at the Omega Door once said to him: At the beginning of time, the Ancient Wasteland Domain was unparalleled and ranked at the top of the nine domains, looking down on the other worlds. It has seen some glorious days!

However, the decline of Ancient Wasteland Domain was a mystery that no one knew.

“Everyone, you must have gained a lot of fortunes and inheritance in these years, but have you noticed that those places of fortunes and inheritance were left by some of the most extraordinary figures in ancient times?”

Everyone immediately nodded.

Lin Xun had long noticed that they were all exceptional authority figures of that generation, from Burning Immortal Chen Linkong, to Battle Emperor Mo Yang of the Underworld River Forbidden Land, to the Saint Buddha of the Stupa Brahma Land!

“The sages worked together to create this Supreme Realm, and after leaving behind their inheritance and mantle, they all headed for the same place.

“That is Ancient Nebula Road!”

Shaohao told a shocking secret, “Because in the sages’ eyes, whether it was in ascending the pinnacle of the great dao or changing the situation of Ancient Wasteland Domain within the nine domains, the key can be found in the Ancient Nebula Road!”

Everyone was flabbergasted.

It was their first time hearing this secret.

“Of course, all this is still a distance away from us now. Even if the battle of the nine domains were to break out, it won’t happen until many years later. Right now, our generation can only forge ahead and seek the highest stage on the path of the great dao.”

Shaohao continued, “Only this will provide us with the ability to withstand and resolve the catastrophe when it descends.”

Lin Xun asked, “Then when does Brother Shaohao reckon the battle of the nine domains will break out?”

“In no more than one hundred years.”

Shaohao stated, “It may even break out earlier. In fact, it is very simple to judge when this will happen. The reopening of the Nine Domains Battlefield is an omen.”

Lin Xun suddenly remembered that, when he participated in the Little Giants List competition on the Immortal Sacred Mountain, the spirit servant who guarded the mountain once said that there was a passage that led to the Nine Domains Battlefield on the mountain.

Lin Xun’s mind raced.

Battle of the nine domains!

He must pay utmost attention to matters concerning this. After all, how could eggs remain unbroken when the nest toppled over?

“Brother Lin, thank you for having us.”

After the banquet was over, Shaohao stood up, bid farewell, and left with Wanyin, Bai Qian and the others.

Watching their departing figures as they left, Lin Xun couldn’t help but exclaim to himself,

Shaohao is indeed different from other supreme figures.

He would not dwell on a momentary battle, but set his eyes further on the battle of the nine domains that was destined to happen in the future!

Soon, Lin Xun calmed his emotions and turned back.

He had one more thing to do.
