The Prodigies War-Novel

The courtyard was dilapidated, and it had been that way for a long time. The stone steps in front of the gate were covered with moss, and the low walls were covered with weeds.

But at this moment, Lin Xun's eyes suddenly narrowed. He stared intently at the closed simple wooden gate with a hint of surprise in his heart.

He had discovered that the courtyard was surrounded by a strange forbidden array!

This kind of power was very inconspicuous, yet it was completely consistent with the surrounding world. The moss on the stone steps, the weeds on the wall, and even everything around it had already become a part of this forbidden array.

In other words, in Lin Xun's opinion, the moss, weeds, wooden gate, walls...could all be considered the runes that made up this array!

Just…who had set this up?

Lin Xun's spirit sense spread, covering the entire Feiyun Village within an instant.

After a while, he finally concluded that in the entire village, only the dilapidated courtyard where he had once lived was covered with such a strange forbidden array.

This made him even more confused.

For a moment, he stood in front of the courtyard, unable to move for a long time.

"Someone must have been here before, but who could it be? What were they looking for here?"

Lin Xun's expression was uncertain. Finally, he took a deep breath, reached out a hand, and pushed towards the closed gate.

The already old and mottled gate easily opened.

But at the same time, a series of strange ripple-like fluctuations instantly appeared around the courtyard with a loud buzz, starting from the traces of moss in front of the stone steps and going all the way to the weeds on the walls.

Suddenly, Lin Xun's eyes blurred and some bizarre scenes appeared. It looked as if he had gone back in time to many years ago.

It was an afternoon, and the setting sun was giving off a beautiful glow among the green-covered mountains in the distance.

From a distance, a skinny old man walked toward the area and appeared in front of the courtyard. He clasped his hands behind his back, stood there, and stared for a moment. Then he smiled and pushed the gate open.

As if he was looking for something, he walked into the room where Lin Xun had once lived, sat in front of the desk that Lin Xun had used, and was silent for a long time.

Then, he got up, came back out to the courtyard, sat casually under the green weeping willow tree, faced the sunset, and stared at the courtyard in a daze.

At this moment, Lin Xun was also shocked into stillness. His state of mind was usually as tough as a rock, but it had been affected at this moment.

The old man's hair was disheveled, his face was wrinkled, and his figure was as skinny as a piece of bamboo. Although his expression was peaceful, his eyes were still full of spirit and energy.

Lin Xun knew this face all too well.Thɪs chapter is updated by novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.nᴇt

Because this was the Mister Lu who raised him, Lu Boya!

“Mister Lu, you truly are still alive…”

Lin Xun couldn't help from clenching his fists as his emotions became turbulent.

Back then, when he had left the mine prison, he had seen with his own two eyes that a big purple hand had covered the sky and slapped down hard.

He also remembered seeing Mister Lu’s anxious, irritable and angry expression. At that time, Lin Xun thought this was the last time he would see Mister Lu in this lifetime. But now it was clear that Mister Lu had not died!

Lin Xun took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and "looked" carefully.

He knew that the scene he saw in front of him was a sealed "brand" that had opened to take him back in time and recreate a past scene.

At this time, Mister Lu stood up and took out a pitch-black jade tablet from his sleeve. With a clear cry, the jade tablet exuded a strange luster and scattered wisps of magnificent and dreamlike light that resembled gentle rain.

Then, a shocking scene appeared.

On the jade tablet, pictures began to appear, which were the images of Lin Xun's daily life in this courtyard when he was young.

He saw himself writing runes, practicing martial arts, tempering his body... There were also scenes of him lighting a fire, cooking, washing and cleaning, etc…

Mister Lu stood there, quietly watching the scenes that appeared on the black jade tablet. On his skinny face, Lin Xun could see that various emotions came and went: happiness, sadness, despondency, and cheerfulness…

At this time, Lin Xun also felt complicated feelings. He did not expect that a black jade tablet would reveal all the traces he had left in the courtyard when he was young.

There was no doubt that this jet black jade tablet was an extremely magical treasure.

After a long time, the luster on the black jade tablet dimmed, and the images disappeared.

“Good, good, good…”

Mister Lu seemed to be unable to suppress his inner emotions as he murmured, "If the lady could see that this boy has grown up, she will definitely be very happy..."

There was indescribable sadness and relief in his voice.

Lin Xun suddenly felt emotional, and he inexplicably remembered the scenes of living with Mister Lu when he was young.

"He discovered the secret of the Omega Secret-Realm, and finally changed his fate against the will of heaven, hahaha... This is the power of the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer bloodline! Even if it is taken away, there is still a chance for nirvana and rebirth!"

Lin Xun couldn’t tell what Mister Lu had suddenly thought of in the courtyard, but the older man then burst out laughing, "And as long as the blood of the young lady continues, I, Lu Boya, will have no regrets even if I die!"

Lin Xun was incredibly shocked in his heart. He stared blankly at Mister Lu who was looking up to the sky and laughing wildly. For the first time, he discovered that Mister Lu, who had always been surly and grumpy, could actually be so cheerful, happy, and excited.

And he was quite certain that the lady Mister Lu was talking about was his mother Luo Qingxun!

This confirmed his speculation that Mister Lu had to be a guardian of hers!

Lin Xun continued to watch, and the scene in front of him abruptly changed to his surprise.

It was still the same courtyard, but Lu Boya was now covered in blood. His skinny face was pale and transparent, his left shoulder was shattered, and there was a long and narrow wound on his chest. Furthermore, his skin was torn and the bones were visible. His appearance was so miserable that it was hard to even look at him.

In front of him was a purple figure. It was clearly a woman, with a slender and graceful body. A golden ribbon was wrapped around her waist, and her long purple hair hung down like a waterfall.

She carried a silver war spear on her back, was wearing purple robes, and had purple hair. A scornful aura that soared into the sky exuded from her making her resemble a god that overlooked all living beings.

No matter how hard Lin Xun tried, he couldn't see her appearance, only her back. But even the silhouette of her back was like a chasm that stretched across the sky, giving Lin Xun a feeling that he could only look up at her, as if she was tall and boundless.

Facing the figure made one feel like they were an ant looking up at the sky!

"Lu Boya, do you know your crime?"

The purple-haired woman’s voice was pleasant, but there was no emotion in it at all.

Lu Boya took a deep breath with a calm expression and said, "Infinite years have passed, but you still haven't given up and want to kill all of the young lady's lineage. Unfortunately...you have arrived a step too late after all, and the young lady is no longer here."

"As long as Luo Qingxun lives, she will be captured sooner or later, and her brother won’t be able to do anything even if he has reached the Emperor stage. A traitor is a traitor after all, and sooner or later the crimes will need to be repaid."

The purple-haired woman's voice remained emotionless throughout all of this.

“Traitor?” Lu Boya's face suddenly turned cold, "How much do you know about what happened back then, yet you still dare to proclaim the young lady guilty?"

"I'm not here to argue with you. All you need to know is that you are a criminal that I must capture." The purple-haired woman then continued, "Before that, tell me, where is the Omega Secret-Realm now?"

Lu Boya immediately sneered, "No wonder you still haven’t given up even though endless years have passed. Your master is still thinking about that treasure. I can only tell you that he will never get this treasure again in this lifetime!"

The purple-haired woman was silent for a moment before she said, "You mean...there already is someone who is qualified to open the Omega Secret-Realm?"

Lu Boya remarked coldly, "Didn't your master tell you that the only people in this world who are qualified to open that door are the direct descendants of the young lady's lineage?"

"Impossible. When Luo Qingxun defected and left, her bloodline power was destroyed. Even after endless years of cultivation, it would be impossible to recover it. Therefore, she is destined never to be able to open the Omega Secret-Realm.

"And her brother had already entered the realm of the Saint-King when he defected, so he has missed the opportunity to open the door to the Omega Secret-Realm in this lifetime."

When the purple-haired woman said this, she also seemed to realize something, and she instantly exuded a terrifying power. Her purple hair flew up, and she said icily, "Could it be that... Luo Qingxun already has an heir?"

Lu Boya became calmer and he said, "You are not too stupid. Back then, the young lady was injured and escaped to this world. She fell into hibernation for many years. It was not until decades later that she woke up from it. Unfortunately...she had lost some memories at the time…”

Speaking of this, a trace of sadness appeared on his face.

After a while, he suddenly became energetic and smiled excitedly, "But clearly the heavens had plans. Although the young lady has lost some memories, in this world, she has a child who has inherited her bloodline talent!"

The more he talked, the more excited he became. He even looked a little crazy, laughing loudly.

"You and your master would never have thought in this lifetime that such a miracle would happen! Just wait, when that child sets foot in the starry sky in the future to find his destiny, you will...all have to pay the price for your crimes!”

Every word he enunciated was filled with great joy.

"I will find that scoundrel!" proclaimed the purple-haired woman coldly.

Lu Boya smiled sardonically, "No, you have no chance. When you destroyed that mine prison, it was already destined that you would never find him again in this lifetime."

A dazed look crossed his face as he murmured, "Speaking of which, many years have passed now. With that child's talent, if nothing unexpected happens, he should have already reached the peak King realm, right? Time flies by so quickly…"

"People are mere ants before becoming Saints. Even if you become a Saint, trying to cross the ancient road across the starry sky is no different from seeking death. I really can't see how the son of a sinner can make a difference even if he has obtained the Omega Secret-Realm."

The purple-haired woman's voice had no emotion from beginning to end, "I can only say that you are counting your chickens before they hatch."

Lu Boya responded calmly, "Having hope is better than having none at all. Do you know what the lady named the child?"

Without waiting for an answer from her, he said, "In one word, search[1]! Both the young lady and I believe that one day, he will discover the truth of what happened that year!"
