Chapter 2525 Well-Hidden Clue

Donghuang’s Four Clans!

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes.

These four top Immortal Imperial Clans that controlled Heaven Rank laws were under the command of the Donghuang Clan, one of the ten great immortal giants in the Eighth Heaven Domain.

It made one wonder whether their wish to deal with him resulted from an order of the Donghuang Clan.

Lin Xun read on.

The jade slip was detailed, including even information on the law powers, heritage arts, base locations, structures and force lay-outs, and even the core treasures of the four clans under Donghuang.

Core treasures!

When Lin Xun reached the part about these four clans’ core treasures, his heart trembled in a sudden realization, and his face changed.

The Nan Clan wielded the Spear of Many Changes, the Gu Clan the God Executing Sword, the Li Clan the Axe of Creation, and the Yun Clan the World Destroying Halberd! How could Lin Xun forget these four treasures?

Back then, when certifying his supreme Emperor dao in the Nirvana of Transcendence, he had ushered in an unprecedented tribulation, upon crossing which he was frequently hindered.

Among the attackers, there were the four immortal figures from the other side of the cosmos, each wielding a force of will that belonged to these four treasures!

It was also at the time that a force of will belonging to the Master of Fangchun Mountain had appeared and subdued those four existences one by one.

How could Lin Xun forget those scenes?

He clearly remembered what the Master of Fangchun Mountain had said about their purpose: it was to stop him, Lin Xun, from becoming a supreme Emperor!

Because becoming a supreme Emperor in a place like the Nirvana of Transcendence meant that he would most likely embark on the Eternal Supremacy Path in the future!

“The path of eternal supremacy, the nirvana of transcendence; The endless calamity of ruin, the lotus blooms in solitude...” mumbled Lin Xun.

In order to seize the Nirvana of Transcendence, the Master of Fangchun Mountain waited for ages, and Second Brother Zhong Qiu had presided over the Ancient Nebula Underworld for countless years.

Lin Xun had originally thought that this unprecedented fortune was related to him becoming a supreme Emperor, but it looked like the key was the Eternal Supremacy Path!

Furthermore, this fortune was so heaven-defying and taboo that it had led the four clans under Donghuang to come and hinder him! After all, according to the Master of Fangchun Mountain, very few people on the other side of the cosmos were able to step onto this path.

“No wonder...” Lin Xun's gaze deepened as he had a vague understanding.

This time in Chaotian City, the four clans under Donghuang had planned to deal with him likely because of the Nirvana of Transcendence fortune that he had obtained.

This fortune had transformed into the Nirvana law power that was currently floating inside the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron!

Apparently, they already knew who he was, which was why they didn’t hide their killing intent at all, declaring to kill him in the Battlefield of the Gods.

At this thought, the color of frost surfaced on Lin Xun's expression.

The Luo Clan was plotting for his innate talent and the Omega Secret-Realm.

These four clans under Donghuang, on the other hand, plotted for the Nirvana law power!

Taiyi City Lord Bai Jianchen had once said that no ill intention was without a reason.

At this point, how could Lin Xun not realize the secret behind Yun Muzhe’s killing intent toward him?

The reason was simple: Yun Muzhe came from the Yun Clan, one of the four clans under Donghuang!

This person had probably recognized him back in Taiyi City.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but make a further connection: could it also be that the appearance of all these four clans in Chaotian City now was also related to Yun Muzhe?

This was definitely a possibility!

“Who could have imagined that all this hostility stemmed from the Nirvana of Transcendence fortune long back then...”

Lin Xun let out a lament upon reaching this conclusion. This was exactly what they called a vaguely traceable clue, a deeply hidden reason.

Putting away the jade slip, he sat cross-legged and entered meditation.

Rustle~

Law power light intertwined like water streams, covering his handsome figure. In the air, amazing and mysterious scenes of the dao appeared.

After eighteen years of bloody battles, of dangerous trials and tribulations, he was now a supreme eighth realm Emperor, and had reached the mid stage of this realm.

He was only a hair's breadth away from the upper stage.

As he operated his cultivation at this moment, in each of his five viscera, a dao body was cultivating alongside him. Divine radiance circled, and dao sounds resonated.

Over the recent years, Lin Xun had used the Great Dao Furnace Art to reshape the origin of the five dao bodies to the point that all of them had undergone complete transformations.

He even had an inkling that if he wanted to, the five dao bodies could even develop independent intelligence, independent minds, and independent cultivation!

However, he ultimately resisted this urge.

If the five dao bodies turned into five completely different hims, then his future path was going to be difficult to predict.

If one day, a clone was in conflict with him in order to seek the dao, then wouldn’t he become his own enemy?

The most frightening thing was that since the five clones were born out of him, they knew his details more than anyone else. It sent chills down his spine just imagining the trouble he would be in once some kind of unpredictable change occurred to them.

Therefore, Lin Xun chose not to change. In accordance with his past practice, he would continue to control the five dao bodies with his own mind and will.

This also meant that they would either rise or fall together.

If the situation called for it, he could even reverse the five dao bodies into origin dao power with just a thought of his mind, and they would merge back into him.

......

While Lin Xun was cultivating, the lights were fully on inside an ancient complex in Chaotian City.

This was where the Nan Clan was entrenched, and it was an area consisting of tightly connected buildings covered in heavy layers of restrictive power.

At the moment, in the grand hall of a certain building.

The white-haired old man who had derided and threatened Lin Xun before the Battle Stele of the Domains was currently sitting in the main seat, his expression dignified.

He was Nan Yongqiang, an Emperor Ancestor whose age could not be fathomed. For countless moons, he had resided in Chaotian City to take care of all matters concerning the Great Thousand Battle Domain for his clan.

“Since everyone is here, I’ll get straight to it. The fortune on Lin Xun is something that the Donghuang Clan is determined to obtain, which means that this man is not allowed to leave the Battlefield of the Gods alive!” Nan Yongqiang’s indifferent voice echoed around the hall.

On both sides below him sat figures with powerful auras, who came from the Gu Clan, Li Clan, and Yun Clan.

Like the Nan Clan, they were Immortal Imperial Clans under the wings of the Donghuang Clan. Together, they were also known as the four clans under Donghuang.

“But he has the Fu Clan’s interest. It’ll be tricky if they send experts to protect him,” said a delicate and charming young woman. With smooth, fair, youthful skin and eyes like an autumn lake, her every move was sultry.

Her full chest was half-covered, leaving a bare area that trembled when she spoke that drew many eyes to linger on it.

She was Gu Banzhuang, the person in charge of the Gu Clan force in Chaotian City. She might look like a girl, but in reality, she was also an old Emperor Ancestor monster who had lived for uncountable years.

“Heh, we don’t need to worry about this. The Ruins of the Gods is the number one forbidden zone of the Great Thousand Battle Domain that has never opened before. As long as Lin Xun goes in there, even the Fu Clan will have trouble providing him with absolute protection,” laughed Nan Yongqiang. As he cast an unobtrusive glance at Gu Banzhuang’s tantalizing round bosom, his throat became a little dry.

It was not her alluring beauty that incited his lust, but instead the seductive physique she was born with. On top of that, the dao she pursued was related to seduction, making her capable of tugging at people’s heartstrings with every action.

If she were to fully display her skill, then let alone Emperor Ancestors, even Buddhas would feel their hearts quiver and have difficulty controlling their emotions.

This slut, her dao has gotten stronger!

Nan Yongqiang quietly took a deep breath to suppress the lust in his heart.

“Everyone, don’t forget that he is a disciple of Fangchun Mountain. Putting aside their master who is still nowhere to be seen, the other disciples alone are godly experts who are now also well hidden. When they first arrived at the Eternal True Realm many years ago, they had raised many storms.”

The speaker was a black-robed man. His voice was low and each word was like a heavy sword, transmitting an intimidating pressure. His statement caused many many people to narrow their eyes.

How could they not know about this matter?

Many years ago, a group of Fangchun Mountain disciples entered the Eternal True Realm, and in just nine days, they killed their way from the First Heaven Domain to the Sixth Heaven Domain.

No one had been able to stop them!

At that time, their appearance caused a great panic in the Sixth Heaven Domain. They were regarded as a flood, a disaster by many Immortal Imperial Clans who acted like a pack of wolves had come to their village.

However, to everyone's surprise, that group of Fangchun Mountain disciples then vanished and had been quiet ever since.

Despite this, no one dared to underestimate Fangchun Mountain anymore. In just nine days, they fought their way to the Sixth Heaven Domain, invincible and unstoppable throughout the process!

Many people reckoned that with the battle power they had displayed, it should not be difficult for them to get to the Seventh Heaven Domain. Shockingly though, they had all disappeared, and no one knew where they had gone.

However, everyone was sure that when they appeared in front of the world again, they would definitely set off an unprecedented storm!

As members of the four clans under Donghuang, the cultivators in the great hall knew better than anyone else the terror of the Fangchun Mountain disciples.

Because a long time ago, their clans had deployed four immortal experts to the other side of the cosmos that was the Ancient Nebula Road, in order to seize a fortune related to the Eternal Supremacy Path.

In the end, however...no one returned. All of them were killed! It was said that the culprit was the Master of Fangchun Mountain!

This incident had triggered great anger and panic in the four clans. They just could not believe that there was still such a powerful existence in the fallen Ancient Nebula Road.

It was also through this incident that the name ‘Fangchun Mountain’ was engraved into the memory of the four clans under Donghuang.

Nan Yongqiang said heavily, “This is Chaotian City, not the Ancient Nebula Road, much less the territory of Fangchun Mountain. You need not worry about them. Moreover, no matter how strong those Fangchun Mountain disciples are, the Donghuang Clan will personally deal with them. We merely need to focus on seizing the fortune from Lin Xun.”

The Donghuang Clan!

These three words weighed down on the hearts of everyone present like a towering mountain.

To kill Lin Xun and seize his fortune was an order from the Donghuang Clan. Regardless of what opinion the four great Immortal Imperial Clans had about it, it was destined to be impossible for them to refuse!
