Chapter 2911 Don't Say We Didn't Warn You

Xuan Feiling said, “They’re also testing our sect’s attitude through this, as in, if we are willing to be at war with the Ten Immortal Giants for the sake of protecting Lin Xun.”

“Heh, old schemer Wang Zhongtian knows his stuff.” Dugu Yong sneered.

Fang Daoping stressed, “There is absolutely nothing to negotiate in this matter, and on top of that, we must announce our stand to the world. If we allow the Ten Immortal Giants to keep being this aggressive, it will make it seem as if the Origin Sect is afraid of them.”

“That’s right, that’s how it should be.”

“I agree with Brother Fang.”

Yu Xing, Tong Chaoyun, and the other deputy pavilion masters also supported Fang Daoping’s suggestion.

Seeing this, Xuan Feiling nodded. On the same day, breaking news spread from the Origin Sect: “Anyone who sees Origin Sect Deputy Pavilion Master Lin Xun as an enemy is an enemy of Origin Sect! Anyone who assists the devil and harms those related to Lin Xun, prepare for a future where the Origin Sect will end their entire family!”

The announcement was deliberately topped off with a sentence: “Don’t say we didn't warn you!”

When the news came out, the world was astounded. It sent chills running through the forces who were originally eager to search the heavens to find people with relations to Lin Xun, leading them to draw in their horns.

In the eyes of the public, the Origin Sect was much more transcendent in status and unfathomably powerful than the Eighth Heaven Domain’s Ten Immortal Giants.

Now that it had made its attitude clear and even worded the message so sternly, who wouldn't be apprehensive?

“Want to be a lap dog of the Ten Clans Alliance? Well, you have to be prepared to be slaughtered first, otherwise you won’t even know how you die!” someone lamented.

“This is a real fight between giants, there's no good ending for ordinary people who get involved. A fire at the city gate brings disasters upon the fish in the moat. Once you stick your nose in this, best watch out!”

“So it seems the Origin Sect is determined to protect Lin Xun.”

“This Lin Xun fellow...he is simply a mystery of a character. Who ever dared to imagine he'd come into the influence he has today?”

As the news spread, everything about Lin Xun was put to discussions, making him the hottest topic in all the major heaven domains.

Many people then realized that long before he had first arrived at the Eternal True Realm, his name had already preceded him and reached the ears of many great powers. Then, after his arrival, every single thing he had done was attention-grabbing.

He had killed his way from the First Heaven Domain to the Sixth Heaven Domain, entered the Origin Sect after ranking first in the selection, slaughtered a bunch of participants in the Immortal Dao Battle, and many more. Each of those bloody achievements was more than enough to shake the world, and when piled up on one individual, they were particularly appalling.

In the face of the stand expressed by the Origin Sect, the Ten Clans Alliance showed no weakness. It quickly responded and conveyed its attitude to the public.

“One day, we will stomp the Origin Sect to the dirt!”

One short sentence, but it was effectively a direct declaration of war, showing how resolute the Ten Clans Alliance was about this matter.

All heavens were shaken.

After Xuan Feiling’s group heard the news, they calmly commented, “All bark and no bite.”

They couldn't be more aware of the Ten Immortal Giants’ depths. Without the support of the Eternal Divine Clans in the Ninth Heaven Domain, and without the help of the Shaman Sect and the Zen Sect, they would never dare go to full-scale war with the Origin Sect even if they stole courage from heaven.

Sure enough, in the several years that followed, under the watchful of countless cultivators, the Ten Clans Alliance took zero action. It was as though it had vanished. This naturally made people wonder: You made all that commotion only to lie still now?

Only Xuan Feiling’s party knew that the Ten Clans Alliance was waiting. Waiting for Origin Clarity Pavilion Master You Beihai to certify his Eternal dao!

......

The volatile situation in the outside world did not affect Lin Xun, who was in the forty-fifth year of his closed-door meditation. During this period, the law powers and various divine elixirs on him had nearly been depleted. Despite this, he had barely reached the advanced Transcendence Stage.

Of course, this speed was miraculous enough, but for him, the real gain in these forty-five years actually concerned the Nirvana law power. Presently, he had already refined sixty percent of it! His Immortal law was now on par with Divine Rank law Absolute Beginning!

Lin Xun had a strong hunch that once he had completely refined the Nirvana law power, he would be able to explore the rules of Nirvana!

At the Transcendence Stage, cultivators could study and comprehend law powers, thus becoming free from the restraints of the rules of heaven and earth. At the Eternal Stage, cultivators could control and utilize the law powers!

Lin Xun’s Immortal law was derived from the Nirvana law power, so now that he was continuously refining it into his own, the rules he had fathomed were naturally connected to Nirvana, also known as the Nirvana law.

Nirvana had a lot of incredible abilities. It was capable of allowing other laws to be reshaped and reborn, while it could also restrict and wear down law power.

Even though Lin Xun had only refined about sixty percent of it, he noticed that when he stored the purple and green gourds inside him, this pair of precious ninth grade Heaven Rank law powers also got nurtured in a process similar to nirvana!

In short, his own Immortal law had replaced the many wonderful uses of the Nirvana law power. It was like a mother nest where he could place law powers into so as to nourish and help them develop!

According to Wushuang, the Immortal law that Lin Xun had mastered could already measure up to a Divine Rank law, which made him a sole, unique case in the Transcendence Stage. However, this was not enough for Lin Xun. In his mindset, only by completely refining the Nirvana law power could he be called unique in the true sense of the word!

“Xia Zhi should be waking soon...”

On this day, Lin Xun awakened from his meditation and calculated quickly. It had been twenty-nine years since Xia Zhi entered the slumber, which she had said would take at least thirty years.

After thinking about it, he decided to go out for a walk. Forty-five years had passed, so there were only more than thirty left until Origin Clarity Pavilion Master You Beihai realized eternity. Lin Xun wondered what had been going on outside during this.

The sky was bright, the air was fresh, and the clouds were steaming. After Lin Xun left his cave, he went on a stroll. He passed quite a number of Origin Sky Pavilion disciples along the way, but none of them noticed his presence.

This was naturally a deliberate measure on his part. He didn’t want his current action to be perceived as his seclusion had concluded, because it wasn't quite there yet. He just wanted to take a breather and find out about what had happened recently.

Half an hour later, when he approached Origin Emptiness Pavilion, a surprised voice rang out, "Lin Xun? How come you’ve come out?"

Lin Xun looked over and saw that it was Dugu Yong. He immediately revealed a smile. “After sitting dryly for so long, I suddenly had the whim to go out for a walk.”

Dugu Yong looked him up and down, and was visibly taken aback. “Your cultivation...”

At his level, he was actually unable to see through Lin Xun’s current cultivation!

“Advanced Transcendence,” Lin Xun said frankly.

“Haa...” Dugu Yong gasped, unable to help the shock on his face. “You broke through two lesser realms in just forty-five years?”

At this moment, Lin Xun’s aura was tame and ordinary like the idle clouds in the sky. There was no special might about him, making it hard to believe that he was already an advanced Transcendence existence.

“Forty five years...isn’t a short time...” sighed Lin Xun. It was actually the longest closed-door session he had done since he had started cultivation.

Dugu Yong was dumbfounded for what seemed like half a day, until he suddenly proposed, “If you have nothing to do, want to spar? Let me experience first-hand the battle power at your current disposal.”

Lin Xun laughed, “If it's what you want, Senior, I'm naturally happy to oblige.”

“Let’s get going, then. To the central training platform.” Dugu Yong swung his arm with great vigor.

In the Origin Sect, only the power covering the central training platform could withstand the impact of a battle belonging to the Transcendence Stage.

“Alright.” Lin Xun followed Dugu Yong and teleported toward the destination.

“Huh, when did Lin Xun come out of seclusion?”

When they were halfway there, Fang Daoping’s voice suddenly rang out, followed by his figure appearing out of thin air.

“Just a while ago,” Lin Xun answered him with a smile.

“Then, what are you guys planning to do here?” Fang Daoping looked at Dugu Yong.

“We’re heading to the central training platform for a spar,” Dugu Yong laughed. “Old Fang, now that Lin Xun has entered the advanced Transcendence Stage, me sparring him can't be considered bullying the small.”

Fang Daoping’s eyes blazed with interest. “Let’s go, I’m coming with you guys.”

“Hahahaha, I knew you would never miss a good show.” Dugu Yong burst out laughing.

Fang Daoping smiled, then suddenly remembered something and said, “It would indeed be a shame to miss such a duel. Why don’t we call Old Xuan, Yu Xing, and the others as well?”

Not waiting for a reply, he sent out the message.

“Old Fang, how come I get the feeling that you are itching to see me make a fool of myself?” Dugu Yong acted angry.

Fang Daoping smiled cutely. “Don’t worry, no one will find it strange if you lose to Lin Xun. We'll be shocked if you actually win.”

Dugu Yong laughed and booed, “Old thing, your mouth runs a mean streak!”

While bantering, they arrived at the central training platform. The platform was extremely big and paved entirely from a kind of mysterious black stone. From a bird's eye view, it looked like a huge Taiji circle.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Not long after Lin Xun’s group got here, a series of air-ripping sounds echoed. The five deputy pavilion masters of Xuan Feiling, Yu Xing, Yuan Wutian, Tong Chaoyun, and Zhang Qianxi were seen arriving one after another from different directions.

These old monsters were all astonished at the fact that Lin Xun had broken through to the advanced stage of Transcendence. When they looked at Dugu Yong, their expressions couldn't help but take on a dash of derision.

“Old Dugu, you are looking for a beating here. Lin Xun utterly destroyed the likes of Fu Wenli and Chi Wen when he was only at the initial level, not to mention that he has reached the advanced level now. Where did you get the fat gut to challenge him?” Xuan Feiling teased with glee.

“Maybe Old Dugu is a secret masochist, he doesn't feel right unless he gets beaten once in a while?”

“Eh, hey, stop beating Old Dugu down like that. What if, one in a million chance, he wins?”

"Win? Heh..."

The flurry of teasing remarks put a dark cloud over Dugu Yong's expression. In fact, he himself was chickening out a little inside.

His intention was to test Lin Xun’s cultivation depths through this duel, not to decide the winner and loser. However, Xuan Feiling and the others were squeezing him between a rock and a hard place.

These old scoundrels!

Dugu Yong silently cursed.

After this is over with, I'll make sure that you lot experience the same fate!
