Chapter 2785 Clues of His Parents

Feng Yun's entire body stiffened. His breathing became labored as his expression filled with horror. One strike, and he'd been captured?! He couldn't accept it for a moment, but years of combat experience still remained, so he almost immediately roared, "Send the message!"

The powerful warriors in the distance roused as if they had just woken up, and they were about to take action, but it was too late.

Boom!

With a flick of Lin Xun's sleeves, a cloud of sword qi descended from the sky, dense and packed, resembling a violent storm, engulfing all.

Puff, puff, puff...

Scarlet, scorching blood blossomed in the white snow. No one had survived the onslaught!

Feng Yun's eyes popped with rage. "Who are you?"

Lin Xun responded nonchalantly, "An outsider."

Feng Yun's eyes widened as if he had been struck by lightning. "The legend is true! This Ninth Forbidden Zone is indeed an 'entrance'..."

Lin Xun said calmly, "I need to obtain some information from your soul. Do you mind?"

Feng Yun's expression was grim. "Even if you find out what you want to know, you are doomed. In this Ninth Forbidden Zone—no, in this Great Qin Divine Domain—you will die!"

"That's none of your business,” said Lin Xun casually as he twisted his wrist and easily snapped Feng Yun's neck. He grabbed the latter’s soul and began searching it.

A long moment passed.

Bang!

Feng Yun's soul shattered between Lin Xun's fingers, and a hint of excitement lingered in his expression. He had finally got what he wanted! In Feng Yun's memories, long ago, an outsider wielding the Fortune Sword had intruded into the Great Qin Divine Domain, appearing in this very same Ninth Forbidden Zone.

This individual had rampaged through the Great Qin Divine Domain, stirring up chaos in just a few short years. It was said that he had come seeking a supreme treasure within the Great Qin Divine Domain, but on his quest, he had offended the Great Qin Divine Clan, leading to a bloody battle. Later, this individual departed with that exact treasure.

Many years later, a man and woman wielding the Fortune Sword had appeared in the Ninth Forbidden Zone. Their presence had once again caused a stir in the Great Qin Divine Domain.

The reason was because the Fortune Sword they wielded had appeared long ago, and the owner of it had also carried away a supreme treasure from the Great Qin Divine Domain. This also caught the attention of the Great Qin Divine Clan, who dispatched forces to hunt down the couple!

Although these memories were fragmented and lacked much crucial information, Lin Xun was able to come to an immediate conclusion. The man who had once entered the Great Qin Divine Domain alone, wielding the Fortune Sword, must have been his great-grandfather, Luo Tongtian!

Feng Yun's memories didn't reveal the exact treasure Luo Tongtian had taken from the Great Qin Divine Domain. However, Lin Xun had a hunch that it was most likely the Eternity Coffin.

Furthermore, many years later, the man and woman who had entered the Great Qin Divine Domain with the Fortune Sword must have been his parents! How could he not be thrilled by this news?

He gradually gathered his thoughts after calming down. After arriving in the Great Qin Divine Domain, his parents were hunted by the Great Qin Divine Clan, but they had likely survived. Instead, they were now trapped in a secret realm formed by a space-time barrier during their escape.

Otherwise, the mysterious man surnamed Chen would never have had the opportunity to help and retrieve the bronze box containing the Fortune Sword and his mother's willpower manifestation from the Fortune Domain.

However, Lin Xun couldn't confirm whether the spacetime barrier that had trapped his parents was actually within the Great Qin Divine Domain. Feng Yun's memories contained no such information.

Clearly, Feng Yun, a cultivator at the equivalent of the first realm Emperor Stage, had only heard of these events and was unaware of the details behind them. However, Lin Xun had obtained another important clue.

Long ago, the Great Qin Divine Clan had sealed off the Ninth Forbidden Zone and stationed a large force there all the time. Their purpose was to wait and see! They were waiting for someone, like Luo Tongtian or Luo Qingxun, to return to the Great Qin Divine Domain.

However, what was the Great Qin Divine Clan's purpose in doing this? After a brief moment of reflection, Lin Xun vaguely guessed that they most likely knew of the relationship between his parents and his great-grandfather.

They also likely understood that as long as his parents were trapped in the Fortune Dominion, sooner or later someone would come to rescue them. If this were the case, the person the Great Qin Divine Clan was waiting for was most likely his great-grandfather, Luo Tongtian.

The reason was simple: they wanted to capture his great-grandfather and seize the precious treasure he had taken away! If that treasure was the Eternity Coffin, then it would explain why, even after countless years, the Great Qin Divine Clan had continued to dispatch forces to wait near the Ninth Forbidden Zone. It was simply because the Eternity Coffin was so precious that it would haunt any Divine Clan.

Of course, this was just Lin Xun's own speculation. The actual truth remained to be further investigated and verified. Regardless, the information he gleaned from Feng Yun's memories had allowed him to deduce a wealth of valuable information.

At least now he knew that if he wanted to find out his parents' whereabouts, he could not go wrong by making contact with the Great Qin Divine Clan.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xun gradually calmed down while standing still in the vast snowy world. The most urgent task for him was to leave the Ninth Forbidden Zone first, then find time to fully recover his cultivation before deciding how to investigate the Great Qin Divine Clan.

Swish!

As he thought of this, Lin Xun's figure flashed and flew off into the distance. A quarter of an hour later, from afar, he detected the fluctuations of restriction power. Amidst a distant, snowy mountain range, there were a group of buildings that stood tall.

That was one of the outposts stationed within the Ninth Forbidden Zone. Within the area centered on the Ninth Forbidden Zone, there were numerous similar locations. Each of these outposts were enveloped in restriction power, forming a strict blockade to prevent outsiders from entering. Similarly, leaving the Ninth Forbidden Zone was extremely difficult.

Critically, the restrictive formations within this blockade also contained law power. Even if a dao rune founder had arrived, they might be able to break the restrictions, but they would undoubtedly alert that law power.

In Feng Yun's memory, even those who had reached the rank of Martial Ancestor and attempted to cross the blockade would be struck by the law power. Of note, Martial Ancestors were comparable to Immortals.

Despite that, this couldn't hold Lin Xun back. He quietly advanced, quickly reaching the blockade, the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron already held high in his hands. Breaking the forbidden formation wasn't difficult for him. It didn't take him much time to decipher its secrets and step directly into it.

Soon, a wave of law power, resembling flakes of snow, appeared in his vision, like a strange and mysterious curtain of light, stretching across heaven and earth. Just judging by its aura, it was at least at the Heaven Rank.

Lin Xun didn't pause, carrying the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron forward. When he touched the law power, the Nirvana law power immediately emerged, silently resisting and dispelling it...

He passed through without a trace of resistance! Upon exiting the blockade, he felt a flash of light before his eyes. The world suddenly transformed. Vast mountains and rivers, lush greenery, and vibrant colors hit his vision. The icy blue sun hanging overhead had vanished, replaced by a vast azure sky.

So the Ninth Forbidden Zone, where I was previously, was covered by the law power, resulting in that icy, white expanse...

As Lin Xun realized this, he frowned.

Doesn't this mean that everything I did in the Ninth Forbidden Zone has been observed by that law power?

Thinking of this, he didn't dare linger for a moment. His figure flashed as he dashed forward. No matter what, he had to get as far away from this place as possible.

Half an hour later...

"Oh no! Deacon Feng Yun and the others are all dead!"

A sharp scream echoed from a checkpoint along the blockade. Soon, the powerful warriors stationed at each checkpoint learned of the tragic news.

"Quickly notify the clan!"

"The legend is true. An outsider must have intruded into the Ninth Forbidden Zone!"

"What are you still standing there for? Quickly dispatch forces to search for the outsider."

A variety of shouts echoed. Soon, numerous figures rushed into the Ninth Forbidden Zone, sweeping across the sky like a sweeping force, but to no avail.

Several hours later, in the distant sky, a dazzling golden arc of light streaked across the heavens. A bald, black-clad, seemingly youthful man who carried an ancient sword had come. As soon as he arrived in front of the Ninth Forbidden Zone, his aura radiated a terrifying intensity.

"It's a prominent figure from the Divine Clan!"

Many powerful warriors stationed nearby shuddered and fell to their knees, their expressions filled with awe. After all, the bald man carrying the ancient sword was a Martial Ancestor from the Great Qin Divine Clan!

"Have you found any trace of the outsider?" The bald man stood beneath the sky, his expression impassive.

"Your Excellency, we have dispatched all our forces to search the Ninth Forbidden Zone. We believe we'll find him soon," said a powerful warrior, his voice trembling. He was drenched in icy cold sweat.

The bald man frowned slightly, his voice stern, "When I received the news, I heard that this outsider had appeared three days ago. Despite that, you haven't found him yet?"

This single query sent fear trembling through the nearby powerful warriors.

"A bunch of useless trash!" The bald man didn't bother to talk further, simply stepping forward and extending his right hand into the light curtain of law power that sealed off heaven and earth.

Instantly, he took in every scene that had unfolded over the past three days. From Lin Xun's appearance, to his murder of Feng Ying and the others, to his retreat in the underground cave, to his discovery by Feng Yun and the others, and the subsequent battle...

Every single event had been vividly captured. When Lin Xun, holding the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron, effortlessly entered the blockade, all the images seemed to collapse as if they had encountered a terrifying obstruction.

The bald man's expression darkened. How could he not tell that Lin Xun had most likely escaped from the Ninth Forbidden Zone?

He was able to evade the blockade of the law power set up by our clan... It seems that this person came prepared...

The bald man's eyes flickered.

Although this person is not Luo Tongtian, he also came with the Fortune Sword. Therefore, he must be closely related to Luo Tongtian! It's been eight hours since he left. We must pursue him quickly. Otherwise, once he adapts to the power of the laws of heaven and earth in the Great Qin Divine Domain and fully recovers his strength, it will be even more difficult to capture him...

Thinking of this, the bald man made a decisive move. He took out a bone talisman and gently tossed it. It instantly transformed into a dazzling line of fire, rushing towards the azure sky and disappearing.
