The Prodigies War-Chapter 2255 Deciphering a Sea Stabilizing Stele
Chapter 2255 Deciphering a Sea Stabilizing Stele
As Lin Xun had grown up in the mine prison, he already knew what had happened after Mister Lu hid there.
Similarly, Lin Xun also knew the cause and effect of the tragedy that had occurred on the Mind Cleansing Peak of the Lin Family.
Now, after hearing Ao Xingtang's narration, Lin Xun finally understood some of the things that his mother Luo Qingxun had experienced after escaping from the other side of the cosmos.
She, Mister Lu, and Star Annihilation Battle Emperor had crossed the cosmos and got the help of the True Dragon Progenitor Ancestor along the way to get rid of their pursuers.
Then she arrived at the Xuan Clan, and with the sword of the Xuan Clan’s ancestor, she got the help of the Xuan Clan and successfully arrived at the lower domain where the Return Dominion was located!
In short, the past events described by Ao Xingtang were a crucial clue, which connected the past events of long gone years in one go.
Lin Xun finally understood why Mister Lu had instructed him to go to the Ziyao Empire to discover the secrets of his family and past when he left the mine prison. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
He also finally understood why Zhao Yuanji and his wife had taken care of him in a special way after arriving in the Forbidden City.
At the same time, Lin Xun also discovered how extraordinary Mister Lu was.
In the primeval era, he had fled from the other side of the cosmos with his mother Luo Qingxun, and in the years that followed, he played many roles.
He was Array Emperor Lu, who had participated in the ancient Dao War of Emperors, the master of the Fog Obscured Alms in the Underworld, the founder of Qinglu Academy and the Rune Master Association of the Ziyao Empire. Furthermore, he had once entered the True Dragon World and obtained the Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations inheritance from Dragon Emperor Mingluo...
In the past, Lin Xun would never have believed that the old man who raised him up and had such a bad and violent temper would have had so many legendary experiences!
After a long time, Lin Xun woke up from his trip down memory lane. Gazing at Ao Xingtang who looked sad and melancholy, he couldn't help but frown and say, "Aunt, logically speaking, the current patriarch of the True Dragon Clan is your biological older brother and Jingxuan's biological uncle, but why does he hate and despise me so much?"
In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, but he still wanted to ask Ao Xingtang's opinion.
Ao Xingtang's beautiful countenance was uncertain as she revealed a complex expression that encompassed ridicule, hatred, and helplessness. "Back then, before my father died, I planned to tell Ao Huanhai to follow Lu Boya and leave, but instead Ao Huanhai had severed his relationship with my father in front of the whole clan. Even when my father died, he stood far away, watching coldly and indifferently..."
Lin Xun felt a chill in his heart. Ao Huanhai was simply a disgraceful scion!
Taking a deep breath, Ao Xingtang continued, "I know why he did this. He simply wanted to inherit the position of the clan leader after my father's death. You say that Ao Huanhai hates you, so isn't it simple? If possible, he would even kill me, his younger sister, without hesitation!"
Brother and sister had turned against each other, and father and son had become enemies!
Lin Xun never expected that Ao Huanhai would be such a cold-blooded and ruthless character.
He thought about it and couldn't help asking, "So why did Ao Huanhai allow Jingxuan to participate in the Thousand Dragon Celestial Assembly?"
Ao Xingtang said without hesitation, "I know Ao Huanhai's character too well. He did this just to use Jingxuan as bait to make me show up. Soul Slaying Dragon Emperor may also be behind this too."
Lin Xun finally understood things completely.
"Lin Xun, there is one thing I have to remind you."
Ao Xingtang hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Ao Huanhai likely regards the child that you and Jingxuan have created as his sole property, so he will try to keep them in the True Dragon Clan at all costs."
After saying that, she was surprised to see that Lin Xun's expression was calm and there was not much fluctuation.
Lin Xun said, "Aunt, I have already guessed that this would happen. No matter what, since I am here this time, I will definitely not let Jingxuan and our child to be left with the True Dragon Clan again."
He frowned, "Unfortunately, Soul Slaying Dragon Emperor controls the origin law power of the world of the Dragon Palace, so that will be quite hard to deal with.”
A strange look flashed in Ao Xingtang's eyes as she said, "Do you know why your uncle and I are here?"
Lin Xun nodded.
Ao Xingtang continued, "Then I might as well tell you that as long as the progenitor of our clan can be rescued, Soul Slaying Dragon Emperor will never be able to control the origin law power of the world of the Dragon Palace again!"
Lin Xun's black eyes suddenly lit up.
Zhao Yuanji also laughed, "Back then, Dragon Emperor Mingluo personally went to the Ancient Nebula Road to find your mother and Lu Boya, hoping to use their hands to break the power that suppressed the True Dragon Progenitor. And now you are stronger than your mother and Lu Boya back then! Furthermore, you also have the blood of the Omega Lord flowing in your veins!"
Ao Xingtang smiled and nodded, "I have been fretting about how to rescue the progenitor. In the past few decades, I have tried many ways to contact him, but I have failed every time."
She raised the bead in her hand that was scattering particles of light rain and said, "Lu Boya gave me these beads back then. It can offset the terrible power of the forty-nine Sea Stabilizing Steles. If you can think of a way to rescue the progenitor of our clan, it will not be difficult for you to rescue Jingxuan."
As she said that, she handed the bead to Lin Xun.
Lin Xun held it in his palm and looked at it carefully. He found that the bead was imprinted with a dense and extremely restrictive power, similar to array flags and array plates, and it was emitting restrictive undulations.
As he concentrated, he could clearly see that the strands of restrictive fluctuations formed a perfect fit with the cold and illusive aura of the dark sea water, creating something that resembled the mutual rotation of yin and yang.
Lin Xun's dark eyes became fascinated, and he began to deduce the dao rune array diagram within this array bead. This small bead actually contained all kinds of mysteries and secrets.
Gradually, Lin Xun's mind was immersed by it, and he didn't feel the passage of time.
Ao Xingtang and Zhao Yuanji looked at each other, and they couldn't help but feel a little bit of hope and expectation.
After seven days, Lin Xun woke up from his medication. There was an unconcealable hint of fatigue on his face, but even more obvious was the joy.
This array bead was definitely from Mister Lu's handiwork. It contained forty-nine forbidden dao rune arrays. Each dao rune array contained eighty-one smaller formations, which had interwoven and echoed each other to form a complete, strict, and dense forbidden array.
Furthermore, its core function was far beyond only helping cultivators go down past nine thousand feet in the sea!
A spark of inspiration hit Lin Xun and he asked, "Aunt, where are the locations of the forty-nine Sea Stabilizing Steles? Do you know?"
Ao Xingtang nodded and then her eyes sparkled, "Do you have a way to crack this problem?"
"I’ll only know after trying first," Lin Xun replied.
"Let's go, I'll take you there." Without hesitation, Ao Xingtang immediately took action.
After the time it took to burn a stick of incense...
Under Ao Xingtang's guidance, Lin Xun was at a Sea Stabilizing Stele, which stood tall in the deep sea water.
When Lin Xun had first entered the world of the Dragon Palace, he had also noticed the Sea Stabilizing Steles, but he had only seen the parts that were exposed above the sea water, and there was nothing worth noting.
However, when looking from the bottom of the sea, he found that the Sea Stabilizing Stele that was immersed in the sea was covered with countless mysterious and obscure dao rune patterns. In fact, they were so dense that just a glance would make people’s hearts palpitate.
If it weren't for the array bead that Ao Xingtang had given him, he would not be able to offset the terrifying formation fluctuations that were released by the Sea Stabilizing Stele.
According to Lin Xun’s understanding, even Emperor Ancestors would be killed by such A terrible formation power!
Furthermore, for countless eons, the progenitor of the True Dragon Clan had been suppressed here by forty-nine Sea Stabilizing Steles. Therefore, it was obvious the type of horrible torture he had endured.
Lin Xun took a deep breath, abandoned any distracting thoughts, and began to concentrate on perceiving and sensing.
What Ao Xingtang had said was right. The dao rune patterns that were engraved on this Sea Stabilizing Stele could indeed be described as supreme, obscure, and mysterious beyond imagination.
After a while, Lin Xun said, "Aunt, leave me one of these beads, and you and uncle should leave first."
He was worried that when he was deducing the dao rune pattern, some changes would occur, which might affect the safety of Ao Xingtang and Zhao Yuanji.
Ao Xingtang and Zhao Yuanji looked at each other and agreed without hesitation. They soon left, leaving Lin Xun alone by himself.
The dark sea water rolled like ink, and the dao rune patterns on the stone stele loomed. They resembled the secret patterns of the gods and demons flickering, revealing the fluctuations of destruction and death.
Lin Xun concentrated with all his might, running the cultivation power of his original body and five clones to help him comprehend and deduce the runes.
Seven days later.
He was exhausted physically and mentally, and his energy had been completely used up, so he sat casually as he swallowed divine medicines and rare treasures until his physical strength and mind were completely restored. He continued to devote himself to deducing the rune patterns on the stele without hesitation.
Strictly speaking, this was the first time that Lin Xun had encountered such a terrifying supreme formation since he had started cultivating. The mysteries imprinted in it were simply vast and complicated beyond measure.
At his current level of cultivation, it was extremely strenuous for him to deduce them, but fortunately, at least there was some progress.
One month later.
Lin Xun had successfully deduced half of the secrets of the restriction on the Sea Stabilizing Stele. During this period, he had to rest and recover three times in total, consuming a lot of divine treasures and medicines.
Two months later.
Lin Xun had already gone down thousands of feet below the sea surface. By now, he had deduced about eighty percent of the secrets to the rune patterns on the Sea Stabilizing Stele!
During this period, Ao Xingtang and Zhao Yuanji had also come to visit Lin Xun. They quickly found that the latter's mind was immersed and focused solely on deducing, so they had left quietly.
Three months later.
"It's done!" Lin Xun woke up from his state of extreme concentration, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
He had finally understood and comprehended all of the secrets of the Sea Stabilizing Stele!
Immediately afterwards, an indescribable fatigue surged over him causing his eyes to go dark, and he almost fell asleep.
He took a deep breath and realized that his long black hair had turned white like frost and snow.
This was a change that occurred when one's energy was utterly exhausted.
Lin Xun didn't think much of it and took out some divine medicine and began swallowing and refining them.
It wasn't until a few days later that his physical and mental condition returned to their peak, and his snow-white hair became as black as ink again.
After looking at the Sea Stabilizing Stele in front of him, Lin Xun managed to resist the urge to break the formation on it immediately. Instead, he turned around and left to find Ao Xingtang and Zhao Yuanji.
"Aunt, where are the other Sea Stabilizing Steles?" Lin Xun asked as soon as he saw Ao Xingtang.
Time was too tight, and he didn't dare to waste any time.
