Chapter 2629 Mysteries of the Kun Life Bone

Bang!

The white chain exploded segment by segment, producing a blinding torrent of law power fire that engulfed Lin Xun. Wanrou who stood near him felt her blood run cold, and her face became ashen in fright.

Not far away from them, Jiao Taihang was laughing loudly, “So what if you have extraordinary combat prowess? You are doomed, being caught in my Aurora law flame!”

“Really? Getting ahead of yourself a little here, aren’t you?” rang a calm voice as the white law flame fizzled out as though entering the sea, revealing Lin Xun's handsome figure.

Unscathed!

Jiao Taihang's smile froze on his face, and his eyes almost popped out. “Even an immortal expert would have suffered severe injuries under such power. How could you...how could you possibly nullify it?”

Not only had he nullified it, but he had also emerged unscathed! Simply inconceivable!

Even Wanrou gawked in disbelief.

Even a law power failed to kill him? Isn’t Master Shi a little too powerful?

“You obtained that law fire from Aurora Cave?” asked Lin Xun curiously.

The more calm and casual Lin Xun was, the more frightened and panicked Jiao Taihang was inside. He was unable to imagine when such a heaven-defying young man had emerged in the Sixth Heaven Domain.

Jiao Taihang’s eyes bulged, furious as he shrieked, “Who on earth are you?!”

Scarlet Demon Dao Lord, who had been spraying blood from his mouth and nose under the distant wall, shouted, “Master, he...he is most likely Lin Xun!!”

Lin Xun?

Jiao Taihang was dumbstruck for a moment before his expression shifted drastically. All of a sudden, the various rumors he had heard during the recent years about a disciple of Fangchun Mountain came flooding to his mind.

In those rumors, that disciple called Lin Xun had fought his way from the First Heaven Domain to the Fifth Heaven Domain, leaving a trail of bloodshed in his wake. Even a bunch of Immortal Imperial Clans had been unable to stop him! Immortal characters had been deployed against him, but he had managed to safely escape time and again.

It could be said that, in the current Sixth Heaven Domain, the name of Fangchun Disciple Lin Xun had become the representative of an unparalleled legend, a top menace that gave even Immortal Imperial Clans headaches!

If the man before them was really that disciple of Fangchun Mountain, then it was easy to explain everything.

The deaths of those Heng Clan people made complete sense! For in this world, Lin Xun undoubtedly held a place among daredevils who had the guts to kill members of Immortal Imperial Clans. In fact, he had been the most prominent one in recent years.

“Too much nonsense,” commented Lin Xun with a wave of his sleeve. Countless sword qi shot out and filled the big hall.

Jiao Taihang desperately defended in vain as the sword light chopped him to pieces in seconds. Before he died, he let out a howl filled with sorrow and misery, “To die at the hands of a legend like you... It's not a bad way to go out!”

As for Scarlet Demon Dao Lord, he was even more helpless. He failed to even put up one bit of a struggle and instantly perished in the boundless sword qi. When everything returned to calm, the hall was left in ruins, with numerous dreadful sword marks and cracks etched in the walls and floor.

“You... Are you really Lin Xun?” Wanrou’s eyes glazed over. The events of today had been too overwhelming for her to handle.

Lin Xun gently said, “That shouldn’t matter. The important thing is that even though Jiao Taihang is dead, the Heng Clan remains a threat to your family. You should be thinking about resolving that.”

An involuntary tingle shook Wanrou all over. After a while of silence, she nodded.

“Let’s go.” Lin Xun walked toward the door to the outside.

Gazing at his otherworldly figure, Wanrou thought to herself.

No matter who he is, he’s saved Nine Leaf Merchant House. That is enough...

......

Above the Rowdy Demon Sea, the Nine Leaf Merchant House’s treasure ship soared through the void.

“Master Shi, please accept this,” Wanrou presented the sealed jade box containing Ancestor Kun’s life bone to Lin Xun. At this moment, she had fully recovered from the harrowing experience just now.

Lin Xun casually refused, “I didn’t help you because I wanted it.”

Wanrou said earnestly, “I have nothing else to repay you for your immense kindness. If you don’t accept this treasure, then I fear I will never find peace of mind.”

Lin Xun was stunned for a moment. In the end, he conceded, “Then I won’t be so rude as to decline.”

To be honest, he was indeed curious about Ancestor Kun's life bone.

Wanrou smiled in relief and said, “I will use every resource available to our business to find the person you’re looking for. I’ll only leave the Rowdy Demon Sea after there is progress.”

Lin Xun advised, “This will likely take a while. I think you should go back and inform your father of everything that has happened as soon as possible.”

Wanrou smiled, “I have already sent someone to do that. When my father receives my jade slip, he will understand everything. In fact, I want him to move here. At least in this Rowdy Demon Sea, we don’t have to fear retaliation from the Heng Clan."

Lin Xun gave it some thought and agreed, “That’s indeed a good idea.”

Wanrou left shortly after. Once alone, Lin Xun sat cross-legged on his bed and opened the seal on the jade box. Instantly, a primitive and immortal aura spread out and stirred his spirit.

Inside the box was a bright patch of dao light that resembled a starry universe. A complete set of a Kun’s skeleton floated among the stars, striking awe into one’s heart with its length of ten thousand miles.

The skeleton looked immeasurably sacred as threads of immortal energy filled it from inside out. It was simply massive and on top of that perfectly preserved, so while being a mere skeletal frame, it still radiated an intimidating pressure.

When Lin Xun investigated with it his spirit sense, he had a faint vision of a Kun, with wings like big clouds that obscured the sun and moon, rising from the chaos and leaping into the cosmos!

Such was the Kun, a mythical sacred beast that existed only in ancient legends. Said to have been born in primordial chaos, it possessed the supreme natural power to create heaven and earth and separate the clear from the turbid.

Its bloodline was imprinted with the profound mysteries of chaos, its power carried the most primordial secrets of the great dao, and its innate talent was said to surpass all other races under heavens!

Rumors said that the Kun was the closest primordial sacred beast to eternity and immortality, a terrifying being that stood equal to Eternal Divine Clans!

In addition, information claimed that those who had a Kun’s life bone could explore the most primordial secrets of immortality from it! Now, such a complete life bone was right in front of Lin Xun, setting his heart on fire.

At his current level, very few treasures in the world could catch his attention, yet the Ancestor Kun's life bone before his eyes filled him with excitement and anticipation. The reason was simple: this treasure was really imprinted with the primal, profound secrets of immortality just as rumored, which was precisely what he urgently needed right now!

After one climbed to the peak of the Emperor Ancestor Stage, they merely had a threshold to cross to enter the path of immortality. However, this threshold was so high that Lin Xun had been unable to reach it. It wasn’t because his cultivation was insufficient, but instead because he lacked the opportunity!

Without seizing such an opportunity, he could cultivate diligently for eons and would still never touch the threshold of immortality. To be exact, breaking into the realm of immortality no longer had anything to do with training, mental strength, or wisdom, but rather, it required an epiphany!

It could be a sudden burst of inspiration, an unintended flash of insight, or a subtle inkling about one’s own fate. All of those could serve as an opportunity for breakthrough. However, such opportunities were rare and difficult to come by, to the point that it was practically unattainable. Set to baffle the mind, they were abstruse beyond comprehension!

Now, though, everything would be different for Lin Xun with Ancestor Kun's life bone in his possession. The immortality in the bone texture and energy naturally contained within was in the most primal form. Just by quietly sensing and studying it, one could gain gradual understanding and peek at the mysteries of immortal power.

All that in turn increased the chance of a cultivator achieving an epiphany!

Yes, it was merely a chance, but even so, it was valuable enough to drive any Emperor Ancestor mad, to the point they were willing to sacrifice everything for such a chance! That was precisely why Lin Xun was so thrilled.

He too lacked such an opportunity, but he had never cared about it because at the end of the day, it had only taken him less than a hundred years to attain the pinnacle of the Emperor Ancestor Stage since he had become an Emperor. He had plenty of time to find and grasp that kind of breakthrough opportunity. However, now that he had Ancestor Kun’s life bone, the search was over!

After a long time, Lin Xun finally stowed the jade box containing the life bone, his heart filled with emotion. There were no coincidences, only cause and effect. If he hadn't helped Wanrou along the way, how could he have obtained this opportunity?

In the following time, Wanrou piloted the treasure ship through the Rowdy Demon Sea, searching everywhere for information related to Lu Boya.

Lin Xun never revealed Mister Lu's name, fearing it might invite unnecessary trouble. After all, Mister Lu had once accompanied Omega Lord in various battles across worlds and had also served the Luo Clan. If an enemy noticed that Lin Xun was trying to find him, then it might expose the fact that Mister Lu was hiding at Rowdy Demon Sea.

During the search for Mister Lu, Lin Xun also gained a deeper understanding of the situation and dynamics of this region.

The Rowdy Demon Sea was akin to a maze world with chaotic law power. It was home to countless factions of all sizes scattering throughout. The majority of the small-scale ones were composed of bandits and outlaws without any solid foundations. Only seven powers could truly be considered top-tier, and they were known as the great seven devil sects!

The Six Yin Demon Sect, who owned Six Yin House on Thousand Fortunes Island, was one of them. According to hearsay, each of those seven powers was led by an immortal figure, but the accuracy of this intel remained unknown to outsiders.

Besides the various factions, Rowdy Demon Sea also sheltered many lone wolves with terrifying strength, some of whom were even feared by the great seven devil sects!

𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

The more Lin Xun learned about the Rowdy Demon Sea, the more his impression of the place solidified into one word: disorder!

Bloodshed and slaughter were demonstrated in every part of this place along with the constant turmoil. Annexes among factions, vendettas between cultivators... Such things were common occurrences.
