Chapter 1584 Flying Immortal Planning

Intermediate True Saint Stage!

It might just seem like a step up on the cultivation stage of a True Saint, but for Lin Xun, it was another transformation in the three main cultivation ways: spirit cultivation, qi cultivation and physical cultivation.

This was the mystery of ‘the three ways are united, the essence of one is formed.’

It was not just an integration of the power of the three paths, but a way of cultivation that broke up the whole and then fused all into one.

It might be some simple words, but it was filled with profound secrets!

“Become invincible in this cultivation stage...almost there...” Lin Xun felt a surge of confidence as he sensed the changes in power within him.

At that moment, he realized more and more deeply how extraordinary were the words said by Zhao Yuanji, the emperor of the Ziyao Empire, when he left the lower domain world for the first time.

The transformation of his state of mind, the improvement of his cultivation, the growth of his spirit, and the strengthening of his body were all, ultimately, nothing more than changes in his own powers!

That kind of strength could make one proclaim oneself king, be well respected, overcome the great longevity tribulations, forge a path to become a Saint and pave the way to the Emperor Stage.

This great dao of the heavens was also a kind of power, only that it needed to be realized and comprehended.

All the laws and arts of the heavens were also a means of harnessing power. Even the knowledge and experiences that one had was a kind of inner power.

Simply speaking, power was the great dao!

In the face of absolute power, regardless of how intelligent, wise, resourceful or strategical one was, one was bound to be crushed into nothing!

Back then, Lin Xun was only at the Spirit Sea Stage, so his understanding of these words was still very surface-level. However, over the years, as his cultivation improved and his experience and horizons broadened, he realized those words were filled with endless profound mysteries.

The most profound takes the simplest form. Once prosperity dies away, the distinction between the strong and the weak was nothing but the difference in ‘power’!

“The Azure Blue Eight Supremes are nothing to speak of!”

At this moment, Lin Xun’s heart was calm and tranquil. On his quest for the great dao, the Azure Blue Eight Supremes were already a thing of the past to him.

The path he sought might not be quite the absolute perfect great dao, but it was superior to a vast majority of his peers!

Standing casually, Lin Xun already radiated a divine bearing. If he was in the outside world, he would have been a heavenly dragon-like existence, drawing forth awe and reverence from the world.

But he knew very well that he still had a long path to walk. There was always a higher mountain or a greater world waiting for him to scale and conquer!

A clear and joyful voice sounded in his ear, “Little Big Brother Demon God, look.”.

Zhao Jingxuan surfaced from the sea, wearing a simple plain dress, with her long black hair rolled up in a bun. A displeased and annoyed expression was on her beautiful and delicate face.

She came over to Lin Xun and waved a tablet in front of his eyes.

Little Big Brother Demon God...

The nickname made Lin Xun’s lips twitch and he smiled wryly, but the next moment he was attracted by the tablet in Zhao Jingxuan’s hand.

It was around the size of a palm and was as smooth as polished jade. Imbued with immortal qi, it was haloed with pale azure light and divine mist.

“Flying Immortal Tablet?” Lin Xun said in surprise.

“Correct, I found it in the spoils.” Zhao Jingxuan smiled.

Not long ago, a great battle took place on the shores of the Black Cliff Sea and resulted in countless casualties and the defeat of Xue Qingyi and others.

Zhao Jingxuan collected a huge amount of loot, including hundreds of various Saint treasures, though most were broken or had been damaged in the battle.

However, some rare Saint treasures were found among them.

In addition, there were other treasures such as elixirs, rare pills, divine materials and divine herbs, all of which piled up like mountains.

It was a tremendous unexpected gain!

The Flying Immortal Tablet was also discovered among the spoils, but it was not clear who its owner was.

Though it was clear that it contained ninety-three Fortunes of War Merits!

“Take a look.”

Lin Xun turned his hand over, and three Flying Immoral Tablets floated in the air.

One belonged to him, one was A’hu’s, and the other was part of the loot from Jian Qingchen.

As if suffering a blow, Zhao Jingxuan put her hand on her forehead and sighed, “So you are the true wealthy one.”

Lin Xun grinned.

He had originally planned to give Jian Qingchen’s Flying Immortal Tablet to Zhao Jingxuan, but that was no longer necessary.

“Let me see your Flying Immortal Tablet.” Zhao Jingxuan grabbed it and quickly checked through it. Her beautiful eyes widened in surprise. “Eight hundred and thirty-nine Fortunes of War Merits? Did you kill that many Saints?”

To collect Fortunes of War Merits, one had to hunt down opponents at the genius level or the Saint Stage. Every one of them killed earned them a Fortunes of War Merit.

He possessed eight hundred and thirty-nine Fortunes of War Merits. Imaginably, a tremendous number of Saints and geniuses had died in Lin Xun’s hands!

Zhao Jingxuan then couldn’t help but look at Jian Qingchen’s Flying Immortal Tablet and found that it contained four hundred and ten Fortunes of War Merits!

The only thing that comforted her was that A’hu’s Flying Immortal Tablet was still empty.

Even so, a strange look came to her clear, beautiful eyes when she looked at Lin Xun. “They say you are the Demon God who kills without batting an eyelid. It seems like it is true.”

Lin Xun knocked on her fair forehead and grumbled, “Do you think I am a natural born killer?”

Zhao Jingxuan pursed her lips, her smile charming and mesmerizing. “Don’t be angry, even if you are a murderer, I still like you.”

Lin Xun’s heart skipped a beat, and he couldn’t stop himself from wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her closer to kiss her.

Zhao Jingxuan tried to protest but she soon succumbed to the warm tender affections that filled her.

......

Time flew by.

More than twenty days had passed since the Origin Magnet Secret Realm had descended.

The Ancient Wasteland Territory remained peaceful and quiet during this period, without any signs of enemies. The camps of the other eight domains seemed to become dormant and ceased their activities.

There was a strange calmness in the vast Nine Domains Battlefield.

But this was no doubt just on the surface, and many underlying tensions were simmering in the dark!

“If you want to help A’hu collect enough Fortunes of War Merits, you will have to enter the Flying Immortal Battle Realm...”

On that day, Lin Xun sat on an auspicious cloud floating above the sea, lost in thought.

Each domain camp had nine Flying Immortal Tablets, which totalled eighty-one tablets.

To activate the Flying Immortal Tablet and receive the opportunity to enter the Kunlun Dominion, one first had to collect one thousand Fortunes of War Merits.

It might sound easy, but Lin Xun knew very well how difficult it was to collect Fortunes of War Merits.

If calculated based on the number of Saints, he would need to kill one thousand Saint opponents to fill one Flying Immortal Tablet.

Nine tablets meant nine thousand Saints.

Eighty-one tablets meant eight hundred and ten thousand Saints!

But the number of Saints in the entire Nine Domains Battlefield definitely did not exceed ten thousand, even if the nine domain camps were added together.

In other words, it was impossible to collect enough Fortunes of War Merits for all eighty-one Flying Immortal Tablets!

According to A’hu, after the first Conflict of Nine Domains, only seven Flying Immortal Tablets had accumulated enough Fortunes of War Merits.

Whereas in the second Conflict of Nine Domains, only five had accumulated enough.

After all, there might be a high number of Saints, but not all of them could be killed by owners of Flying Immortal Tablets!

This proved how extremely difficult it was to gather enough Fortunes of War Merits.

Lin Xun had been tasked with helping A’hu collect enough Fortunes of War Merits—a near impossible task.

However, there was a way around it, and that was the Flying Immortal Battle Realm!

Only those who held a Flying Immortal Tablet could enter the Flying Immortal Battle Realm when it descended and compete for Fortunes of War Merits.

Rumor had it that many Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirits were found in the Flying Immortal Battle Realm, and each one possessed a terrifying strength that rivaled a supreme True Saint’s.

But cultivators could collect a kind of Fortunes of War Merits if they successfully killed Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirits.

Most importantly, in the secret realm, those who held Flying Immortal Tablets could kill one another to seize their Fortunes of War Merits.

From what Lin Xun understood, such killings in the Flying Immortal Battle Realm were extremely common in the past.

“If I were one of the leaders like Kun Shaoyu, I would definitely join forces with the others to deal a deadly blow at you in the Flying Immortal Battle Realm,” Zhao Jingxuan reminded him in a gentle voice.

Lin Xun nodded. “That’s for sure. They probably already hate me to the bone and regard me as a top threat, but...” He smiled. “It’s better this way. I was worried about not being able to collect enough Fortunes of War Merits. If they come to my door...I will welcome them all with a smile.”

Zhao Jingxuan glared at him. “Can you not tell that I’m very worried?”

Lin Xun smiled and held Zhao Jingxuan in his arms as he gently stroked her silky smooth hair. The waft of scent that came off every time made him feel indescribably at ease.

“You also know that this is the Conflict of the Nine Domains. Our Ancient Wasteland Domain has been defeated twice already. Since I’m here, I will definitely do my best to reverse this trend.

“The Flying Immortal Battle Realm is an excellent opportunity. They want to kill me, but do I not also want to eliminate them?

“Just imagine, if leaders such as Kun Shaoyu are eliminated one by one, their camps will be left headless and it would be a huge blow to them!

“At that time, the Ancient Wasteland Camp can take advantage of the situation and wipe them out one by one.”

Lin Xun’s black eyes glinted with determination. “This time, the Conflict of the Nine Domains will definitely end with our Ancient Wasteland Domain emerging victorious!”

Nestled in Lin Xun’s arms, Zhao Jingxuan gazed at Lin Xun’s face with her beautiful eyes, listening to his confident and hopeful words. She couldn’t help from being captivated.

You are like an immortal in the sky, who in the world can be your enemy?

“So, I am determined to go there. It may be extremely dangerous, but if I win, it will turn around the situation on the Nine Domains Battlefield,” Lin Xun said calmly.

On the vast sea, the two cuddled up among the iridescent clouds. The waves were rising and falling in the distance, and the scenery was magnificent and picturesque.

A few days later.

The entrance to the Origin Magnet Secret Realm which stood above the void rippled with strange and obscure laws of heaven and earth and sprinkled beautiful divine light.

Lin Xun put his hands behind his back, standing side by side with Zhao Jingxuan, and looked in that direction.

It had been one month. The competition in the Origin Magnet Secret Realm was finally coming to an end. How many geniuses and outstanding talents from the Ancient Wasteland Domain had become supreme Saints?
