Smiling coldly, Lin Xun withdrew the wonder-gold dao light.

Toady had given up on pretending. When he got up from the ground, his face was rosy, and his golden eyes were shining brightly. He radiated a unique arrogance and haughtiness and didnt seem wounded at all.

Lin Xun couldnt help but marvel inwardly. This toads life force is too amazing. He had been struck by lightning, but he is still alive and jumping after just a few days as though nothing had happened.

I have helped you a lot this time, so I should have a share of your spoils. You better not keep them all to yourself, Jin Duyi said righteously.

Lin Xun was left speechless. This toad has such a strong personality. He not only pretended to be dead to get what he wanted but he also shamelessly asked for it when that attempt failed!

Lin Xun bluntly refused his unreasonable request, which made him yell and curse out loud. Even so, Lin Xun stood his ground.

Toady, how is the investigation into the incomplete golden scripture? Lin Xun suddenly changed the subject.

As expected, Jin Duyis attention was diverted and a ball of golden light spewed out of his mouth, taking the shape of a golden dao scripture.

Jin Duyi exclaimed in excitement, This is no doubt a dao scripture written by a saint!

Lin Xuns face lit up.

The damaged dao scripture originated from the Five Elements Holy Island. It was originally intact, but had been torn into three parts in the battle.

The other two parts had fallen into the hands of the mysterious being in the jade stone and Saintess Lin Lang.

Lin Xun had also previously studied the scripture and found that it was very unusual. He couldnt identify the materials it was made from, but it was golden and heavy and emanated a unique sacred aura.

Unfortunately, he couldnt open up the incomplete scripture, and the writing on the pages had disappeared.

In desperation, he had no choice but to ask Jin Duyi for help. He was a three-legged golden toad who claimed that he could identify all things in the world and that he was familiar with all sorts of rare treasures.

Its a pity that the scripture is incomplete and cant show the writings of the saint. What a pity the toad sighed.

The anticipation and excitement in Lin Xuns heart extinguished as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.

It cant show the writings? Lin Xun was unwilling to accept the truth.

Do you think that I dont want to see the secrets of this dao scripture with my own eyes? This is written by a saint and must involve the secret of the great dao! But the scripture is left by a saint. It is impossible to pry into its secret without the other two parts to complete it.

Understanding dawned on Lin Xun. If he wanted to comprehend the mystery of the saint scripture, he had to obtain the other two parts first.

Saintess Lin Lang and the mysterious being in the jade stone were no ordinary beings. Imaginably, it would be difficult to steal the dao scriptures from their hands. Lin Xun felt a headache coming on.

If he guessed correctly, the mysterious being in the jade stone must be the little young master that the old ape spoke of!

The entire Five Elements Holy Island was originally a training place specially prepared for the little young master by the old apes master.

That indicated that the little young master had an extraordinary background and was very likely the descendant of a saint!

Fortunately, the little young master hadnt been born yet, so Lin Xun didnt have to worry about any troubles for the time being.

Ahhworked so hard for nothing, Lin Xun sighed.

Im going to be blunt with you, even if you were to obtain the complete form of the dao scripture now, you will not be able to comprehend it because it is a treasure left by a saint and it involves the secrets of the saint path. Do you think someone at the Heaven Ascension Stage would be able to comprehend it? Jin Duyis words were full of mockery.

Lin Xun paid no attention to him and carefully stored away the incomplete saint dao scripture.

He believed that both Saintess Lin Lang and the little young master would come to find him for the secrets of the scripture in the future.

That was also an opportunity for him. Perhaps, if he seized it, he could complete the saint dao scripture!

Of course, that was a matter of the future. No one knew when the little young master would be born or where Lin Xun would be when he was born.

He should first think about how he could take the part of the dao scripture that was in Saintess Lin Langs hand in the Deva Secret Realm.

Lin Xun had a good harvest on the Five Elements Holy Island after slaughtering experts from the Blood Lion Clan and the Dragon Whale Clan.

Not only did he obtain two treasures, the Treasure Lantern King Ginseng and the Qilin Grass, which were identified as king-level elixirs by Jin Duyi, but he also had gotten his hands on a part of a saint dao scripture.

In addition, he found over thirty kinds of rare medicinal herbs.

Most were looted from the Blood Lion Clan and Dragon Whale Clan, and he had only collected a small portion himself.

Additionally, there were weapons, pills, ores and other miscellaneous items.

However, most of the items were of little value to Lin Xun. Of course, they could still fetch a sky-high price in the Ziyao Empire.

He did keep some rare ores and rune materials that could be used in crafting rune armaments and were of high value.

Lin Xun was preparing to go into closed-door cultivation.

Sitting cross-legged in the cave-dwelling, he silently recited the Chaotic Void Dao Scripture, producing waves of Buddhist-like chantings, which had a mysterious and beneficial effect on cultivation.

At the same time, a bead of water floated over the center of his brows.

The water droplet was transparent and overflowing with a dreamy glow. Its shimmery rays seemed to contain a vast and boundless power.

It was the Taiyi real water, extracted from the Taiyi Treasure Vine. Even if it was only a drop of water, it was priceless and had an incredibly magical effect on understanding water imago power.

Before the breakthrough, Lin Xun had to perfectly control the water imago power that he had grasped!

He came to understand that he was only able to grasp the wisp of water imago power at the Spirit Sea Stage not because of his strong comprehension ability but because the Heavenly Water Sacred Bead had tempered his physique and incorporated its essence into his body. His constitution was naturally close to the great dao of water. Moreover, he had undergone training on Sky Stairs Mountain. All of those contributed to the fact that he was able to miraculously comprehend a wisp of water imago power.

Otherwise, no matter how great his comprehension ability was, it would be impossible for him to master water imago power at the Spirit Sea Stage.

After all, in terms of comprehension ability, there had to be some amazing geniuses better than him in the past.

However, none of them had achieved what Lin Xun had done. This proved that the miracle that happened to Lin Xun wasnt related to comprehension ability!

Lin Xun assumed a serious look and became as motionless as a clay statue. There was a detached indifference on his face.

He fell into a state of deep comprehension, his heart was full of the wonderful truth of the water imago power.

While Lin Xun was into closed-door cultivation, conflicts constantly broke out in the Deva Secret Realm.

Everyone fought for opportunities and blessings!

Almost all of the people who entered the Deva Secret Realm were the most powerful cultivators of the major clans in Spirit Burial Sea.

Battles and bloodshed were inevitable.

Although many opportunities were concealed in the Deva Secret Realm, there was still a limited amount and so the competitions were incredibly fierce.

In less than three days, many clans had been slaughtered and eliminated!

Not only did they fail to obtain any opportunities, but they also suffered heavy casualties. That was the heavy price they had to pay for competing.

Those who managed to survive and remain standing were all extremely tyrannical clans, such as the Herculean Demon Bull Clan, the Golden Luan Clan, Cloud Hou Clan and the Mysterious Ao Clan.

Earth-shaking roars rang outside Return Dominion, What, my Flying Spirit Clan has been wiped out? Who? Which clan did it?

It was the patriarch of the Flying Spirit Clan. He was so furious that his hair was standing up, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

The other powerful figures wore different expressions. Some were sighing, some were sympathetic, and some were gloating.

Many similar incidents had happened in the past few days. Besides the Flying Spirit Clan, other clans who entered the Deva Secret Realm were almost all eliminated.

Only the core disciples equipped with the Life Soul Bone Talisman were able to escape. Without that, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Some cultivators brought back some shocking news to the others after they were eliminated. Almost all of these were related to the opportunities and blessings.

For example, cultivators of the Herculean Bull Demon Clan fought under the lead of Saint Niu Tuntian and obtained a jade ruyi from a valley shrouded in violet qi.

In that battle alone, no fewer than one hundred experts had died at the hands of Niu Tuntian!

He rose to fame after that and many peoples faces paled at the mention of his name.

In addition, Saintess Meng Lianqing of the Golden Luan Clan single-handedly defeated Saints of three different clans and obtained an ancient medicinal cauldron from the ruins of an underground cave.

Both Niu Tuntian and Meng Lianqing had become well-known terrifying figures. Even the influential figures outside the Return Dominion dared not disregard them.

Saint Kong Xiu of the Cloud Hou Clan, Saint Xuan Luozi of the Mysterious Ao Clan and Su Xingfeng, a successor of Spirit Treasure Holy Land, also received a lot of attention.

These days, they had made a name for themselves from battling in the Deva Secret Realm.

Of course, some more terrifying people liked to keep a low profile.

At least, Elder Gao Yang knew that, among the disciples of Spirit Treasure Holy Land, Xiao Ran wasnt inferior to Su Xingfeng in terms of strength!

The influential figures outside Return Dominion only found it strange that the human race boy, who shone through with his extraordinary talents on the first day of entering the Deva Secret Realm, hadnt been mentioned. There wasnt any news about him.

Many people couldnt help but wonder whether the kid had committed too many sins that someone had secretly eliminated him
