Chapter 1038 Dare to Mock the Sky is Like a Pond

Lin Xun was equally as amazed.

You’ll know some people aren’t ordinary from just looking at them. You’ll know that they are destined to rise to the sky and stir the wind and clouds.

Just like the blade-wielding majestic figure still standing elegantly after slaughtering the giant python. He is definitely not the average person!

Xiao Qinghe exclaimed in surprise, “Xiao Cangtian! He came here too!”

Lin Xun remembered who he was.

Among the younger generation of the North Dipper World was someone who had once fought across the North Dipper World alone with just his sword, sending chills throughout the ninety provinces. This person was Sword Demon Ye Chen.

Equally as famous as him was Mad Blade Xiao Cangtian, who once mocked that the sky was like a pond and hated that the sky hung too high for his blade!

The two were regarded as the unrivaled Blade Sword Supreme Duo and known far and wide across the North Dipper World, shining as bright as the sun.

The majestic figure in the distance had to be Mad Blade Xiao Cangtian.

Shua!

Almost at the same time, Xiao Cangtian turned his head around.

His facial features were sharp and defined as though shaped with a chisel, and the heroic aura around him could blow anyone away. In particular, his eyes were long and narrow like a blade, yet still bright and captivating.

The moment he looked back, a bolt of sharp lightning seemed to burst forth from his eyes.

Xiao Qinghe tensed up imperceptibly. His qi surged frantically within him, and his clothes billowed around him though no wind stirred the air.

It was an invisible clash of aura.

After just a second, Xiao Cangtian’s gaze moved away and shifted to Lin Xun.

“He is indeed worthy of being called Mad Blade!” Lin Xun’s expression remained indifferent as if he didn’t notice it, but astonishment had already filled his heart.

Every genius had different personalities and took different paths, as a result, their bearing, aura and power were also different.

Some people had a restrained aura, some had a strong aura, and some had a soft aura.

Xiao Cangtian’s aura was dazzling, showy and magnificent like the blazing sun illuminating the sky alone.

Facing him, peers of his would be instantly intimidated if their state of mind was not strong enough.

Of course, Lin Xun was only slightly surprised by his aura

Xiao Cangtian had to be one of the strongest cultivators of the younger generation he had ever seen.

As for intimidation and fear, he felt nothing like that.

At the same time, Xiao Cangtian was also a little taken aback. Instinctively, he knew that Lin Xun was an extremely unusual character.

If his aura was like the scorching sun shining upon the sky, Lin Xun gave him the impression of a giant abyss.

It was vast, boundless, and unfathomable!

“Interesting, the Little Giants List Competition should not disappoint me too much then.” Xiao Cangtian withdrew his gaze, smiled silently, revealing his pearly white teeth, and left the area.

Although Lin Xun surprised him a little with his extraordinariness, a cultivator’s aura was only a part of strength.

Many factors determined whether a cultivator was strong. A more powerful aura did not equate to being stronger in battle.

The rear view of Xiao Cangtian was just as impressive as he strolled away in the snow. His white robe accentuated his imposing figure and highlighted his fiery red hair.

Xiao Qinghe sighed, “I am not as good as him.”

Undoubtedly, it required a lot of courage for a proud genius who had set foot onto the Supreme Path to admit that he was inferior to someone else.

Lin Xun patted him on the shoulder. “There is only a small gap between you two. Also, that was only a momentary contest. The road to the great dao is a contest of a lifetime.”

Xiao Qinghe shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I already suffered a blow from you in Baiyujing. My skin is already so thick and can easily take another blow.”

The two continued onwards, following the same path that Xiao Cangtian took, but it was calm and peaceful.

This was because Xiao Cangtian had already slaughtered all the beasts along the way. When Lin Xun and Xiao Qinghe passed by, the ground was already littered with corpses.

The Mysterious Ice Frost Plains was far larger than Lin Xun imagined. Additionally, the snow and wind created extremely harsh and difficult conditions to travel in.

Ordinary cultivators would not be able to bear the biting chill.

Even Lin Xun and Xiao Qinghe had to mobilize their cultivation as they reached deeper into the plains. Only then were they able to withstand the cold air cutting them like knives.

Hu—

Suddenly, a gust of wind rushed up from far behind, sweeping a storm of frost and snow all over the sky.

It was a luan bird with a pair of hundred-foot-long golden wings. It flew across the void with astonishing power and speed.

On the back of the golden luan bird sat a group of young men and women, all beautiful and graceful. From their appearance alone, one could tell that they all had extraordinary backgrounds.

They clearly noticed Lin Xun and Xiao Qinghe, but they ignored them and quickly left on the golden luan bird.

“The successors of the Return To One Sect have also come.”

Xiao Qinghe narrowed his eyes slightly. “I wonder if Liu Cangfeng came. But that guy is abnormally strong. Five years ago, he was only one step away from making it onto the Little Giants List.”

Lin Xun learnt from Xiao Qinghe that Liu Cangfeng was a leading figure of the younger generation of the Return To One Sect, and he was known for his extremely powerful battle strength.

After the group from the Return To One Sect left, figures appeared on the road one after another.

They were all disciples of ancient sects, not only from the East Victory World but also from the other three worlds: West Infinity, North Dipper and South Wonder.

Xiao Qinghe couldn’t recognize some successors, but this did not mean that they were not outstanding.

After all, the four worlds of the Ancient Wasteland Domain were separated by Boundary Rivers, so it was normal to not know that much about each other’s situations.

However, Xiao Qinghe’s mind still weighed heavy. “In previous Little Giants Lists Competition, most participants were only top young figures from the East Victory World, but this time it's very different.”

There was no need to explain the reason because Lin Xun also knew about it.

The great age was coming!

Whether it was to make it onto the Genius Gold Rankings or to obtain great fortunes when the great age came, the geniuses of the younger generation in the other three worlds would not sit still and miss out on participating in a competition among all worlds.

For example, the Little Giants List Competition was one of them. It would no doubt be completely different from those in the past!

“This competition will be much more intense and fiercer than usual. I was confident that I would make it into the top thirty-six, but now…” Xiao Qinghe sighed. “I suddenly feel that goal is far from reach now.”

“In this kind of competition, you will only know the outcome after you give it a try.” Lin Xun reassured him, “One must not be arrogant, nor belittle oneself.”

Xiao Qinghe shook his head. He knew about himself better than anyone else.

He was a core disciple of the Moon Sun Sacred Palace and also one of the sixteen Scorching Suns.

But he also knew that there were many people like him among the ancient sects in the East Victory World.

Moreover, cultivators from the other three worlds would also take part in the competition.

However, Xiao Qinghe wasn’t exactly not confident.

This was because it was the Little Giants List Competition and not the Four World Star Ranking Contest.

According to the rules and restrictions on the Immortal Sacred Mountain, any expert over thirty years old, no matter how amazing or talented they were, was excluded from participating!

This restriction alone was enough to block the steps of many powerful people.

Experts who were already on the Little Giants List also were excluded from participating in the competition for the second time.

For example, Yun Qingbai, Yan Zhanqiu, Mi Hengzhen, Wang Xuanyu, and Ye Mohe were not allowed to participate.

This lessened the pressure of the competition massively.

Otherwise, if veteran geniuses such as Yun Qingbai and Yan Zhanqiu were allowed to participate, then no one else would have a chance.

“I hope there won’t be too many abnormally strong people like him in the competition. Otherwise, there’s no hope for me…” Xiao Qinghe cast a furtive glance at Lin Xun. He was certain that given Lin Xun’s current strength, he could easily make it onto the top of the Little Giants List.

As for his ranking…it was hard to say.

After all, as the great age neared, quite a few heaven-defyingly strong characters would take part in the Little Giants List Competition. It was hard to know whether someone more abnormal than Lin Xun would participate.

Three hours later.

Lin Xun and Xiao Qinghe finally passed the Mysterious Ice Frost Plains and came to an incomparably vast ocean.

From afar, they noticed that the sea was dotted densely with countless islands.

Further into the distance, the thick fog made it impossible to see anything.

“This is the Star Chess Sea. The Immortal Forbidden Land is located on the other side of this sea,” Xiao Qinghe explained as he pointed to the vast sea ahead. “This sea is not as simple as it looks. It’s like a chessboard and the islands on the sea surface are like chess pieces.

“If you want to cross this sea, you must have the Secret Guide Map. Without it, regardless of how powerful you are, you will no doubt get lost and have no hope of getting out!

“A long time ago, a Saint attempted to head to the Immortal Forbidden Land to search for treasures and opportunities, but he was trapped in it because he didn’t have the Secret Guide Map. To this day, he still hasn’t returned. Therefore, under normal circumstances, no one would dare to rashly enter the sea.”

Lin Xun nodded. He had already started to act. He spread his spirit sense power to the distant sea, only to watch it disappear like a clay ox entering a river.

The vast Star Chess Sea was enveloped in some kind of forbidden power that involved the laws of heaven and earth. Even his spirit sense lost its wonderful ability under that forbidden power.

As Lin Xun and Xiao Qinghe arrived at the coast, they happened to see cultivators on the surface of the Star Chess Sea.

However, their figures vanished as soon as they touched the sea surface as if they had been vaporized into the air and would never be seen again.

Lin Xun trembled. This Star Chess Sea is truly extraordinary, shrouded in unimaginable mysterious power.

“Let’s head out too. When we reach the Immortal Forbidden Land, we will know which powerful characters will take part in this Little Giants List Competition.” Xiao Qinghe drew a deep breath, ready to set off.

However, at this moment, a mighty old man suddenly rushed out from behind a huge boulder.

“Little bastard, you finally came! I have been waiting for you for a long time!” When the voice rang out, the old man was already charging towards them with tremendous speed and the terrifying aura of a Life Death Stage flooded the sky like a tide.

The old man was precisely Su Kong, a king of the second longevity tribulation!
