The night was dark, and the surroundings were utterly silent. Only the silvery-white peak that seemed to be connected with the starlight in the sky and exuded a sacred aura was clearly visible.

After Lin Xun determined the location of the mysterious ancient formation, he formulated his next step and decided to ask the pig monster to hide with Xia Xiaochong.

He planned to scale the mountain alone to take a look at the ancient formation.

As for Xia Xiaochong, he wasn’t worried about her safety. He had already instilled a wisp of spirit into the pig monster, which would allow him to be aware of any abnormal movements from the cultivator as long as he was within the hundred miles radius of the Fallen Star Peak.

Deep in the night, Lin Xun quietly activated the Hornless Ice Dragon Step and approached the peak.

“What a strong murderous and bloody aura!”

His entire body tensed up as he reached the bottom of the peak. The area reeked of blood, and the atmosphere was too oppressive.

Corpses were strewn across the ground; some were beasts and some were cultivators. They had died in all sorts of ways, but they all looked extremely tragic.

He glanced around as he made his way up Fallen Star Peak, noticing that battle traces were everywhere on the silvery-white mountain path.

Clearly, the bloody conflicts and battles that had broken out in the area had ended the lives of many cultivators. It could even be said that every inch of the mountain path was covered with an inch of blood.

He also noticed a wave of spirit sense from the dark sweeping over him when he approached the bottom of the Star Fallen Peak

“Hmph!” His black eyes shone coldly, and he quickly activated the Sun Illumination of the Little Divine Meditation Art. His spirit power erupted with terrifying waves of destruction that spread across the area.

Instantly, the spirit sense that was released from the dark withdrew like frightened birds as though it had sensed danger.

“Hey!”

“What a ruthless youngster!”

In the shadows, many hidden cultivators were startled by Lin Xun's counterattack.

“He has such tyrannical primordial spirit power. It turns out that he isn’t at the Heaven Ascension Stage, but the Cyclic Derivation…”

Some thought that given Lin Xun possessed a primordial spirit, he couldn’t be at the Heaven Ascension Stage as he appeared to be, but he was more likely to be a Cyclic Derivation cultivator.

Of course, they were wrong.

In other words, it never crossed their minds that there would be a freak in the world like Lin Xun who could form a primordial spirit in the Heaven Ascension Stage.

Lin Xun started to climb the mountain. He maintained a calm exterior like he was taking a stroll around a garden, but in truth, he was ready to strike at any moment like a fully drawn bow.

The mountain peak looked sacred and spectacular bathed in a silvery white, starlight-like glow, but in truth, it was littered with corpses, bloodstains, and chilling scenes.

Moreover, there was an invisible terrifying and restraining force that filled the air. It was so strong and oppressive that it made Lin Xun’s hair stand on end.

“Little friend, although the opportunity has descended, it has yet to start. I advise you to turn around and give up on climbing the mountain to protect your own life.”

On the way, Lin Xun noticed powerful cultivators lurking in the dark and quite a few were top figures of the Cyclic Derivation Stage.

The voice that reminded Lin Xun came from an old man in a daoist robe. He was sitting cross-legged under an ancient tree and, as his eyes opened and closed, there seemed to be a torrent of lightning rushing out from them.

“Thank you.” Lin Xun nodded and continued onwards.

“Hah, the younger generation might surpass us one day, but they are too reckless...” The old man in a daoist robe smiled and retracted his gaze from Lin Xun.

In recent days, he had seen many human cultivators and savage beasts make their way up the mountain, but nine out of ten of them were killed in fierce battles and conflicts.

The old man in the daoist robe was Song Qi, an elder of the Thousand Illusions Sect, one of the members of the Four Sects and Three Clans. He possessed a cultivation base of the Cyclic Derivation Stage, and he was well known throughout the Fire Spirit Province.

But even he had to lurk around the mountain and dared not advance any further than halfway up the mountain.

This was because he knew that the higher up one was on the Fallen Star Peak, the more dangerous their situation. All sorts of powerful and ruthless characters, including the top figures of the Four Sects and Three Clans, had come after hearing the news.

Even some terrifying great monster-beasts of Ziniu Mountain were lying in wait on Fallen Star Peak. It had become a danger-ridden area.

However, a youngster with only Heaven Ascension Stage strength persisted in climbing the mountain peak. In Song Qi’s view, that was no different from seeking death.

“Little thing, this is not the place for you, get lost!” A thunder-like roar resounded on the mountain road, followed by a demon-faced eagle rushing forward and beating its razor-sharp blade-like wings.

The bird was very vicious and violent. Its wings set off a whirlwind and swept away the rocks.

Karma!

Song Qi sighed inwardly. The demon-faced eagle was extremely powerful, capable of killing ordinary Cyclic Derivation cultivators like chopping vegetables. Not only that, it had a violent temper and tortured and killed countless cultivators in recent days.

In Song Qi’s view, Lin Xun was doomed!

“This is the fate of not listening to others...” Song Qi was about to retract his gaze, not wanting to watch the bloody scene, when his expression changed.

Shua!

A sparkling white, almost transparent blade slashed out from the youngster’s body and with a slight flash, it took off a wing of the demon-faced eagle. Blood jetted upwards like a fountain.

“He…” Song Qi was struck dumb.

The demon-faced eagle screamed in agony. Its shrill and tragic cry could be heard from miles away in the night. It alerted all the hidden beings in the nearby area to pay attention to this direction.

Then, they all gasped out loud.

On the silver-white mountain road stood a tall and handsome young man exuding an ethereal and extraordinary aura. The shining, white broken blade circulating him added to his deterrent power.

A demon-faced eagle was howling and dodging in panic. The contrast between the two highlighted the youngster’s extraordinary ability even more.

“What clan is he from?”

Many human cultivators were bewildered. It was unheard of that a Heaven Ascension cultivator was able to slash off a wing of a demon-faced eagle with a single-blade strike and inflict heavy injuries to it.

Meanwhile, other great monster-beast cultivators donned solemn expressions, realizing that another extraordinary character had come to the Fallen Star Peak.

Lin Xun didn’t kill the demon-faced eagle, nor did he pay attention to the gazes cast from the shadows. He continued up the mountain.

The blow just now had astonished many experts and deterred them from acting rashly. Many decided to watch on for now.

“Could the youngster be a true successor from an ancient sect in the West Infinity World? His ability and strength are amazing…”

Under the ancient tree, Song Qi could feel his emotions churning. He believed that Lin Xun was looking for death by ignoring his advice. But who would have thought that an unexpected scene would happen in the blink of an eye?

He couldn’t help but flush with shame and embarrassment.

He had to ask himself whether he would dare to confront the demon-faced eagle head-on.

“The younger generation will surpass us one day!” he sighed.

The battle of the great age was nearing, and some peerless geniuses had already begun to show their talents one after another. The future world would no doubt become the stage for the young generation of geniuses to fight for the top.

Song Qi suddenly thought of Yue Jianming, a successor of their Thousand Illusions Sect. Would he be stronger or weaker than this young man?

……

“This place is truly amazing.”

Before long, Lin Xun’s figure was spotted not far from the mountain peak. The flowers, plants and trees growing in that area were all a sparkling silvery color like they were covered in a layer of frost and snow. Under the night sky, they seemed to be absorbing the starlight and emitting a rain of light. It had to be said to be miraculous.

Lin Xun felt as if the plants possessed a spiritual intelligence and might transform into intelligent beings before long!

A pleasant aroma wafting through the air with the wind made Lin Xun narrow his eyes. Immediately, he noticed a little silver tree rooted in a crevice of a jagged ancient boulder tens of feet away.

It was only around a foot high, but its bark resembled cracked dragon scales and its trunk was straight and strong. Hung on the sparse branches were eight round fruits that were only the size of a thumb. They were all shrouded with a silvery light that gave a transparent quality to them.

The pleasant fragrance just now came from them.

“Those are definitely remarkable elixir medicines!” A gleam flashed in Lin Xun’s black eyes.

At the same time, he raised his vigilance. He knew that several powerful experts had lost their lives in recent days and, even now, countless fierce characters were lurking in the nearby areas.

It was no doubt strange that the little silver tree was untouched and even the fruits hadn’t been picked.

“It might be a trap!”

Lin Xun released his spirit sense and soon discovered that at the root of the silver tree was a wisp of obscure restraining power.

Even if it was only a wisp, he still shuddered inwardly because he sensed a deadly aura from it!

Moreover, it was a familiar aura—identical to the obscure restraining power that enveloped the top of the Fallen Star Peak.

“Are those precious elixir fruits formed from the nourishment of the ancient formation power? Amazing! It uses the power of the stars to water the precious medicinal fruits and to promote their growth. Those fruits will no doubt be remarkable when they mature. Amazing…”

Lin Xun’s eyes blazed covetously, but he held back and continued onwards.

“This kid is smart, he didn’t give into the temptation…"

Some experts who had been watching Lin Xun’s every move were surprised by his decision. But many more sighed in disappointment because they wished that Lin Xun would suffer a calamity since they would lose a strong competitor.

“Huh?”

Not long after that, Lin Xun discovered another precious medicinal plant not far from the top of the mountain. It was shaped like a fire phoenix about to take flight and was overflowing with gorgeous fire clouds. From afar, it looked like a fire phoenix was being reborn from the ashes!

The most miraculous thing was that its roots were in the air. Bathed in the starlight, it seemed to be spewing out dreamy fire clouds, like a divine bird dancing in the sky.

Before he was near, an intense medicinal aroma permeated the air, and one breath of it was enough to refresh and energize him!

“What kind of rare precious medicine is that now? Could it be...a saint medicine?”

Lin Xun was completely shaken and couldn’t calm down.

He was very certain that the phoenix-shaped precious medicinal plant had an unimaginable origin!

But at the same time, he felt uneasy because the same obscure restraining power filled the air around the precious medicinal plant.

“Youngster, we are destined to meet. As long as you obey my orders, the fortune in front of you will be yours!”

A hoarse voice suddenly sounded.
