The Prodigies War-Chapter 2372 The Secret of the Green Lotus

Mind Cleansing Peak

Lin Xun sat cross-legged, quietly reflecting.

He was sifting through the memories in the primordial spirits of the four Emperors—Mingya, Xie Shangxu, Xiu Yunzi, and Yue Heng.

After a long while, he opened his eyes.

From Mingya’s memory, he learned that when the aeth qi concentrations first began to recuperate, a pond and a mysterious green lotus emerged at the site of the imperial palace—Divine Grace Mountain.

Within this green lotus lay a hidden, pocket secret realm!

When the major factions of the Ancient Wasteland Domain invaded, the members of the imperial family had already vanished without a trace, along with the Lin Clan of Mind Cleansing Peak.

It wasn’t until Spirit Treasure Holy Land seized control of Divine Grace Mountain that Mingya and other high-ranking members of the Spirit Treasure Holy Land began to grow suspicious. They speculated that the missing imperial family and the Lin Clan had likely escaped into the secret realm in the green lotus before the invasion.

Throughout the past decades, Mingya and the Spirit Treasure Holy Land experts had ventured into the Green Lotus Secret Realm on multiple occasions.

According to his memories, the Green Lotus Secret Realm was vast and incredibly mysterious, resembling a massive honeycomb with countless tunnel-like ‘holes.’ Each tunnel led to a different little world, as if the Green Lotus Secret Realm was a vast nest filled with different sub-realms.

Despite years of exploration, Mingya and the Spirit Treasure Holy Land had explored less than one tenth of the Green Lotus Secret Realm!

Moreover, they had never found traces of the imperial family or the Lin Clan.

However, they believed that the imperial family and the Lin Clan were highly likely hiding somewhere within one of the undiscovered worlds.

This revelation lifted Lin Xun’s spirits. Previously, he had no clues regarding the mysterious disappearance of the Lin Clan, but now, at least he had a clear lead to follow!

After scanning the memories of Xie Shangxu, Xiu Yunzi, and Yue Heng, Lin Xun uncovered more clues about the pocket space and the blessed lands.

The Forbidden City was known as the All Dao Holy Land.

The reason being that compared to other regions of the Ziyao Empire, it contained far more pocket spaces and blessed lands.

These mysterious pocket spaces often appeared in blessed lands like Divine Grace Mountain and Violet Abyss Mountain.

For example, the Green Lotus Secret Realm was hidden within a pond on Divine Grace Mountain.

The rapid ascension of Mingya, Xie Shangxu, and other Emperors in such a short period of time was linked to these pocket spaces. Each of them discovered rare and extraordinary dao blessings during their explorations, which allowed them to break through to the Emperor Stage.

For instance, Mingya found a sacred mountain formed by the laws and order of the great dao while exploring the Green Lotus Secret Realm. There, he came across a mysterious Origin Dao Fruit and after refining it, he became an Emperor in one leap.

Xie Shangxu, on the other hand, encountered a vast river formed from pure dao origin power, stretching endlessly like a divine dragon. After refining this river, he was finally able to achieve his dream of becoming an Emperor.

Xiu Yunzi and Yue Heng both had similar encounters.

From their memories, Lin Xun reached an astonishing conclusion.

If the lower world was the place of origin of all Heavenly Dao, then the Forbidden City was its very heart!

The true source of the aeth qi revival lay within the pocket spaces scattered across the Forbidden City!

In essence, the power released by the revival of aeth qi concentrations radiated throughout the lower world via these hidden pocket realms, leading to the drastic transformation of the entire world.

By this logic, the closer one was to the source of the aeth qi, the greater their chance of obtaining dao blessings.

This was precisely how Mingya and the others achieved their breakthroughs.

Realizing this, Lin Xun’s heart stirred.

The world knew that aeth qi in the lower world had been revived, ushering in an unprecedented golden age. Yet, very few likely understood where this revival originated.

If he could find these ‘sources,’ it would not only mean discovering the root of the aeth qi revival in the lower world, but it might also provide profound insight into the deep mysteries of the origin of all Heavenly Dao!

What surprised Lin Xun was that within the memories of the four Emperors, they all shared similar experiences. When they explored those pocket spaces, they had detected extremely dangerous auras!

As a result, they instinctively avoided those areas with dangerous auras while exploring the secret realm.

Based on their speculations, the origin core of all Heavenly Dao was likely home to terrifying unknown beings!

Unfortunately, even after thoroughly examining Mingya and the others’ memories, Lin Xun found no concrete clues regarding these ‘terrifying beings.’

Clearly, Mingya and the others had been too cautious to explore or approach those areas, and they could only speculate what lay within.

“A’hu, Toady...”

Not long after, Lin Xun called over A’hu and the others to share his thoughts. “I plan to take you into the Green Lotus Secret Realm, and perhaps, we can find an opportunity for you to break through to the Emperor Stage.”

A’hu and the others’ hearts raced upon hearing this.

Whether it was A’hu, Toady, A’lu, or Little Silver, Little Sky, ​​or the big black bird, they had all stagnated at the third-level Quasi-Emperor Stage for many years.

For them, all they needed was the right opportunity to ascend to the Emperor Stage!

Unfortunately, such opportunities were incredibly rare, sometimes even after thousands of years of searching, one might still not be able to achieve their goal.

They would not want to miss this chance.

“But Mind Cleansing Peak...” A’hu asked, worried. If they all left to explore the Green Lotus Secret Realm, there might be trouble with Mind Cleansing Peak being unguarded.

Lin Xun smiled slightly. “Don’t worry. My dao bodies will remain here to handle any threats.”

He paused, his dark eyes growing deeper, before adding, “Moreover, while the Forbidden City has just gone through great chaos, and the factions of the Ancient Wasteland Domain seem to have been eliminated, over time, those behind them will surely send more forces from the Ancient Wasteland Domain into this world.”

“With my dao bodies here, there’s no need to worry too much.”

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, feeling much more at ease.

Lin Xun had already destroyed a large part of the Ancient Wasteland Domain’s factions, but their power was not completely eradicated. Their forces still remained in the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

This meant that in the future, more factions from the Ancient Wasteland Domain would inevitably descend upon the lower world.

However, with Lin Xun’s dao bodies guarding the place, there should be no danger.

Without hesitation, Lin Xun led A’hu and the others into action that very day, while his five dao bodies stood watch over Mind Cleansing Peak.

The Forbidden City remained in a state of uproar, buzzing with excitement. With the factions of the Ancient Wasteland Domain wiped out, it felt as though the entire city had witnessed a ‘world-shattering change.’

The news had already been spreading to the outside world at an astonishing speed and it wouldn’t be long before the entire lower world would be shaken by the impact of this earth shattering battle!

......

“Little Five, guard this place for me. Before I return, no one is allowed to approach this area. Likewise, anyone who comes out of the Green Lotus Secret Realm must be captured immediately.”

In front of the pond, Lin Xun instructed.

Lin Xun had already set up a restriction array around the pond, and with the array spirit Little Five in charge, it would be more than sufficient to handle any situation.

“Big Brother, rest assured.” Little Five nodded confidently.

Buzz!

With a wave of Lin Xun’s sleeve, mysterious dao runes spread across the emerald green lotus leaves, forming the outline of a mysterious door in the void.

Having placed A’hu and the others inside the Dao Endless Pagoda. Lin Xun strode toward the door without hesitation.

As soon as his figure vanished through it, the door dissolved back into dao rune and returned to the lotus leaf.

Green Lotus Secret Realm.

Atop a lone and steep mountain peak that rose ten thousand feet high.

Buzz—

With a strange ripple of energy, an illusionary door appeared at the mountaintop, and Lin Xun stepped through.

At the peak, there was another pond, with a green lotus resting upon it.

According to Mingya’s memory, this was the ‘exit’ to return to the outside world.

Lin Xun raised his eyes and saw auspicious clouds curling gracefully across the sky, brilliant light cascading in all directions, and primal chaos qi surging and steaming.

In just a moment, he sensed his suppressed cultivation beginning to show signs of loosening.

“It seems that because this secret realm is closer to the origin core of all Heavenly Dao, it can accommodate greater powers...

“If that’s the case, does the gradual restoration of my cultivation mean I’m approaching the origin core of all Heavenly Dao?” Lin Xun murmured thoughtfully.

Not long after, his figure flashed as he left the mountain, flying swiftly toward the east.

Thanks to Mingya’s memories, Lin Xun had a detailed understanding of part of the Green Lotus Secret Realm. He quickly determined that the honeycomb-like network of ‘hole’ tunnels was located thirty thousand miles away from the ‘exit.’

Swoosh!

While flying, he spread his spirit sense, scanning the void. Before long, he detected lingering traces of aura drifting eastward.

“It seems the missing Spirit Treasure Holy Land disciples have indeed gone into hiding within this Green Lotus Secret Realm...” Lin Xun speculated, his gaze turning sharp.

A quarter of an hour later.

Suddenly, a deep and resonant sound of the great dao echoed across heaven and earth.

Lin Xun looked up and saw a breathtaking sight in the far distance. Primal chaos qi churned and tumbled like a raging storm, forming a massive vortex that blotted out the sky and the sun, completely enshrouding that section of ​​the world.

Upon a closer look, within the primal chaos vortex, countless dazzling spots of light flickered like stars.

In Lin Xun’s eyes, the vortex resembled an enormous honeycomb, and the sparkling light were tunnels leading to different ‘secret realm worlds!’

Shua!

Lin Xun’s figure flashed and as he approached the vortex, he couldn't help but feel a surge of awe.

It was so vast. It seemed to cover both the sky and the earth. From it radiated obscure and unfathomable waves of great dao energy.

In front of this colossal force, even someone as powerful as Lin Xun seemed no more than a drop in the ocean.
