The Prodigies War-Chapter 1408 Back to the Omega Secret-Realm

The battle of Great Wind Thunder Wetlands reversed the empire’s predicament and allowed them to gain an absolute advantage over the monster-beast forces.

At this point, it was clear to everyone that the monster-beast scourge was destined to fall apart!

Less than three months had passed since Lin Xun first appeared in the Forbidden City to now when he had finished wiping out the monster-beast kings.

In this short span of time, he had single-handedly changed the empire's turbulent situation. This was a feat that could be compared to flipping over the heavens with a hand.

When news of the Nine Brute Tribes army’s withdrawal spread, the already excited atmosphere in the empire was shaken up once more.

To have their external problems eliminated almost immediately after their internal problems were solved was a pleasant surprise for the empire.

Everyone knew the one person who had made all of this possible.

Lin Xun!

His name spread throughout the empire like a legend and was engraved into the hearts of countless cultivators and commoners.

A single person had saved the empire from its crisis. It was a grand feat that would forever go down in history and be told to countless future generations.

While the outside world was in a flurry, Lin Xun had already returned to Mind Cleansing Peak where he spent half a month recovering from his injuries.

The time it took slightly alarmed him because Scarlet Eagle King had told Lin Xun that Monster-Beast Ancestor was almost drained of all his strength after being trapped in the Divine Void Prison for countless years.

Despite this, the power of his hand had managed to seriously injure Lin Xun. From this, it was easy to imagine how terrifying Monster-Beast Ancestor was in his heyday!

"Master."

Green pines grew like umbrellas on the mountain peak that was surrounded by flowing clouds and mist.

Lin Xun was silently meditating on the Taixuan Sword Scripture when Scarlet Eagle King came to visit.

Lin Xun raised his gaze and asked, "What is it?"

He was already aware of Scarlet Eagle King’s identity as well as the ins and outs of his ‘betrayal.’

It turned out that Monster-Beast Ancestor had planted a strange curse in Scarlet Eagle King’s body, which in turn allowed him to gain Monster-Beast Ancestor’s trust.

However, Scarlet Eagle King didn’t wish to be controlled by Monster-Beast Ancestor. After losing to Lin Xun, Scarlet Eagle King had acknowledged Lin Xun as his master and had tried to find an opportunity to free himself of Monster-Beast Ancestor.

He initially thought that he would have a better chance of breaking the curse as his cultivation grew. In the end, however, he realized his own naivety!

Because the curse grew increasingly terrifying as his cultivation improved!

After Lin Xun left, Scarlet Eagle King had no choice but to serve Monster-Beast Ancestor and became known to the world as the Black Robe King.

Despite this, he had never once harmed the empire all these years.

Originally, Scarlet Eagle King had thought that there would be an opportunity to break the curse if he managed to reach the Saint stage. However, the situation had already developed far beyond his control...

After learning the full story, Lin Xun couldn't help but sigh. He knew that he had misunderstood Scarlet Eagle King.

Everything did add up. If Scarlet Eagle King had turned traitor, then how could he have done no harm to the empire for the past ten years?

Scarlet Eagle King elatedly said, "The curse’s power has faded substantially!"

Lin Xun couldn't help from sighing inwardly in relief and said, "That's great."

After returning to Mind Cleansing Peak, he had personally probed the strange curse in Scarlet Eagle King, only to discover that he had no way to deal with it.

It was because the curse had been planted in Scarlet Eagle King's spirit!

Thankfully, Little Silver, who was a descendant of the God Devourer Insect Lineage that specialized in spirit secret arts, managed to provide a method to solve this difficult problem.

As such, Lin Xun felt relieved the moment he learned that Little Silver’s method was effective. He instructed, "When the curse is fully removed, you can stay at Mind Cleansing Peak and cultivate."

Scarlet Eagle King nodded.

At present, no one on Mind Cleansing Peak knew that Scarlet Eagle King was the Black Robe King. Lin Xun also had no plans of revealing the secret such as to avoid unnecessary discussions.

Soon after, Lin Zhong arrived with recent news from the empire, which lifted Lin Xun’s spirits.

In short, the empire had fully resolved its biggest internal problems and the monster-beast forces were on the verge of annihilation. Although there were still a few survivors, they were no longer able to pose a threat to the empire.

Meanwhile, the external threat of the Nine Brute Tribes had also retreated from the empire's borders!

"Young Master, many people have been visiting these days..."

Lin Zhong was interrupted by Lin Xun before he could finish, "Tell them I’m in secluded cultivation and won't be seeing anyone."

Lin Zhong smiled bitterly but still complied.

He knew that these worldly affairs were now of little concern to the Young Master due to his status and cultivation.

However, Lin Zhong didn’t feel such an attitude was inappropriate either.

In the present empire, Lin Xun’s status was so transcendent and special that even the nobles and generals had to show him utmost courtesy and respect!

Nowadays, only a few old friends that went way back would have a chance to meet Lin Xun. Everyone else, on the other hand, should probably forget about it.

In truth, Lin Xun intended to enter secluded cultivation to prepare for his cultivation advancement.

"Fate...fate...I’ve finally learned about my origins. At the end of the day, everything I have now is thanks to the Omega Secret-Realm..."

Lin Xun fell into deep thought.

On that day, he decided to enter the Omega Secret-Realm once again.

......

It was also on that same day that Zhao Jingxuan paid a visit to Mind Cleansing Peak, only to be somewhat disappointed to hear that Lin Xun had already entered secluded cultivation.

Before she left, Zhao Jingxuan reminded Lin Zhong, "Tell Lin Xun that I've gathered some of the information he needs. When he’s out, have him come to the palace to meet me."

Lin Zhong naturally agreed without hesitation.

After returning to the palace, Zhao Jingxuan’s expression turned cloudy as she gleaned through the information she had gathered.

"What could have happened to make Father and Mother put down everything and rush to Blood Kill Battlefield...”

After a long time, she sighed softly and mumbled, "It’s fine, I can make a decision after Lin Xun is out."

Now that the internal and external problems of the empire had been more or less resolved, the empire was at peace, which was also a huge weight off of Zhao Jingxuan’s shoulders.

However, she was now worried about her parents.

What had happened in the Blood Kill Battlefield?

A chamberlain suddenly arrived to seek an audience and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, how should we deal with the Ninth Prince and Consort Meng?"

Iciness flashed in Zhao Jingxuan's eyes as she replied without any change in expression, "Isn't the Third Prince still watching over the Imperial Tomb? He must be very lonely, so let the mother-son duo keep him company."

The chamberlain nodded.

Zhao Jingxuan instructed, "Remember, they are forbidden from taking a single step out of the Imperial Tomb without my permission, and no one is allowed to come into contact with them!"

"Understood."

The chamberlain hurriedly left to carry out her orders.

Meanwhile, Zhao Jingxuan massaged her temples in silence.

It was only recently that the Chi Clan Head, Chi Lingxiao, had sought an audience to report to her about Zhao Jingzhen and his mother, Meng Rong!

It turned out that the two of them had returned to the lower plane and had hidden in the Chi Clan.

The funniest part was that the mother-son duo had even attempted to use the Chi Clan’s power to harm the Mind Cleansing Peak Lin Clan, only to end up being detained by Chi Lingxiao.

At present, the two of them were being detained in the forbidden zone of the palace.

Zhao Jingxuan had originally planned to leave this matter to Lin Xun, but he had gone into secluded cultivation.

Zhao Jingxuan inwardly murmured, "Everything shall have to wait until you’re out..."

......

Omega Secret-Realm.

The Great Azure Cloud Path stretched across the void. At the end of the path stood the ancient and majestic Omega Door that appeared infinitely tall and wide.

Lin Xun felt completely different once he stepped foot into this place.

Because he now knew that the Omega Secret-Realm was left to him by his mother, Luo Qingxun!

The only question that remained was the identity of the mysterious woman.

"Elder." f reeweb novel.com

At the end of the Azure Cloud Path, Lin Xun once again saw the mysterious woman, who was seated with her legs crossed in front of the tightly shut Omega Door.

"What do you wish to know?"

The mysterious woman opened her eyes. It was as if she had already foreseen Lin Xun’s arrival.

With a deep breath, Lin Xun asked, "Who are you?"

The mysterious woman casually answered, "I’m merely a lost ghost. You can also regard me as...a gatekeeper."

Lin Xun asked, "Do you know Luo Qingxun?"

The mysterious woman was silent for a moment before she said, "I know of her. A long time ago, Lu Boya entered this place and told me some things."

Lin Xun's heart shuddered as a hint of hope appeared in his eyes. He said, ''Can you tell me?"

"Back then, Lu Boya also attempted the tests, but ultimately failed to open this door. When he left, he told me that the day would come when someone capable of opening this door would appear, and he would be Luo Qingxun's descendant, or in other words, you."

The mysterious woman finished, "And then, he left."

"Is that all?" Lin Xun was a little disappointed.

The mysterious woman said, "I'm only a gatekeeper. Although I’ve traveled this world long ago and seen all sorts of people and things, I do not know what you wish to know."

Lin Xun laughed bitterly and said, ''Elder, then do you know what secrets the Omega Secret-Realm hides?"

He was dying to find out more. After all, his mother, Luo Qingxun, had been chased all the way from the other side of the cosmos to this world all because of the Omega Secret-Realm. How could he not be curious about it?

The mysterious woman didn’t give a direct answer. Instead, she said, "You have to push open the door to experience and find out for yourself."

At this point, she lifted her head to look at Lin Xun and said, "You've already overcome six of the nine tests. In the Supreme Realm, I told you that you will have a chance to open this door."

Lin Xun abruptly raised his head to gaze at the distant Omega Door, ''Can I try now?"

The mysterious woman said, "Given your current strength, you could have attempted the final three trials long ago. That is the only way to obtain the qualifications to open this door."

She paused slightly before continuing, "However, it isn’t easy to open it. Back then, Lu Boya, who had reached the Big Saint stage, tried to open the door but failed."

Lin Xun was taken aback. He frowned and said, ''Does this mean that even a Big Saint expert can’t open this door?"

The mysterious woman shook her head. "No, one’s cultivation level isn’t important. What’s important is whether one can be acknowledged by the door."

"Acknowledged?"

Lin Xun raised an eyebrow.
