Devouring the Ancestral Symbol, Saying Goodbye to Soul Power

Chapter 93 Devouring the Ancestral Symbol, Saying Goodbye to Soul Power

Seeing the look in her eyes, Xiao Hongchen dared not agree. He immediately left the battlefield with the words, "I'm going to cultivate."

Three days later, in the Heavenly Soul Empire, in Heavenly Dou City.

Inside a small hotel.

A resolute-looking young man sat opposite a stunningly beautiful young woman. The woman, with the air of an emperor dining, picked up her chopsticks, took a bite of food, and smacked her lips lightly.

"This one's so-so, let's go to the next one."

Lin Dong reluctantly took out two gold soul coins, placed them on the table, and followed her out of the inn.

"Xuedi, you're such a picky eater. We've been looking for food for almost half the day. Let's just grab something to eat from now on. We have important business to attend to."

Hearing Lin Dong's complaint, Xue Di raised an eyebrow with a touch of arrogance: "No, you promised me."

After saying that, he walked briskly towards the next store. Lin Dong shook his head helplessly and quickly followed.

This was their first day in Heaven Dou City. Based on his understanding of this world, Lin Dong focused the clues about the Ancestral Symbol primarily on the human world.

Within the sea of ​​spirit.

"Don't tell anyone about what happened today, otherwise..."

"I've finally met my performance target for this month. With that mysterious treasure, hehe, I should be able to upgrade from a Holy Slave to a Quasi-Holy Servant."

Hearing this, Lin Dong, who was concealing himself, felt a surge of joy. He remained hidden in the shadows, observing the man who called himself the Holy Slave as he entered the room.

Because he didn't seem to have any here, nor had he ever heard of any secret treasures, ancient caves, or trial realms.

After he left, Lin Dong noticed the unconscious Tang Ya. Xue Di asked softly, "Should we kill her?"

He then raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Hey, what's going on here? This little guy... could he be trying to create a completely new cultivation system? Good idea! Let this old man lend you a hand."

"It's almost finished. Let me see what amazing things you've come up with..."

The white-robed servant nodded tremblingly: "My lord, I know, perhaps I can take you there."

Lin Dong smiled and nodded: "This is a more refined energy than soul power. I can't say the exact value, but it's much more useful than soul power."

Unfortunately, that mysterious treasure was too powerful; I lacked the ability to absorb it. I don't know how that damned Iron Blood Sect could be so lucky as to become a temporary dwelling place for such a treasure.

Then he shook his head and comforted himself:

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong's face flashed with joy and a touch of nostalgia as he said, "Thank you."

After absorbing the Gold of Life, his spiritual sea expanded, his physical body improved significantly, and his soul power reached level 30.

She suddenly felt that the aura of soul power within Lin Dong's body was rapidly decreasing, and at one point even flew towards the point where the soul power disappeared.

"It's a success!"

Tianmeng, in the Sea of ​​Spirit, couldn't help but tease, "Well, my bed has gotten even smaller, but... this guy's energy is several times stronger than his soul power now."

They had spent two and a half days searching the entire Dragon City, while having Xue Di try out different hotels to her satisfaction.

"My name is Fang Zheng, sir."

As night fell, Lin Dong's breathing became increasingly rapid, but gradually calmed down. Seeing this, Xue Di breathed a sigh of relief.

The man replied tremblingly, "Yes, sir. When I delivered the offerings and treasures to the elder, I seemed to vaguely hear something like, 'With the Holy Maiden and the treasures, he will not only surpass Lao Da, but even the sect leader will be trampled under his feet...'"

Lin Dong gestured for Xue Di to be quiet. Suddenly, a dark figure appeared on the spot, holding a seven or eight-year-old girl in his hand. A look of undisguised disgust flashed in Xue Di's eyes.

Tianmeng and Bingdi looked at the powerful and mysterious talisman, a solemn expression appearing on their faces, and they sighed at the same time:

Not long after, Lin Dong suddenly opened his eyes, clenched his fist, and grinned:

However, this time the flow was much faster than last time. In less than a few minutes, those spirit rings completely disappeared and flew into Lin Dong's forehead.

.........

After all, according to Xue Di, she was already one of the top five strongest people in the world, and even she didn't dare to try to control the power of the Ice Ancestral Symbol, so there was no need to worry.

He pointed at the white-robed holy servant: "What's your name? Get up and take me to the stronghold you mentioned."

After carefully sensing it for a moment, I realized that this was the aura of life. By some strange twist of fate, I had also incorporated its power into the seed of elemental energy. This was an unexpected delight.

Lin Dong was currently trying to put his idea into practice, wanting to introduce the Devouring Ancestral Symbol into his sea of ​​consciousness, rather than having it exist in the form of a Soul Ring.

Lin Dong frowned and asked, "Then where do you think he'll go? Is there a specific direction, or are there any other strongholds or anything like that nearby?"

Xue Di also noticed this miraculous scene, and frowned slightly with some worry, saying, "Won't something bad happen?"

And most importantly, this soul power is really too useless for the skills he has mastered. He can no longer tolerate the situation where his soul power is exhausted after releasing two or three skills. He must speed up his cultivation.

Lin Dong pretended not to hear, and with a light tap of his fingertip, the Ancestral Symbol instantly transformed into a mysterious beam of light, which entered Lin Dong's body. A pitch-black soul ring also began to appear around him. However, upon closer inspection, this soul ring seemed to have a life of its own, constantly flowing and changing its form.

"Such powerful devouring force!"

At this moment, Lin Dong's aura began to rise continuously. Although Xue Di could not sense the presence of soul power, she could clearly feel that Lin Dong seemed to be much stronger than before.

Hearing his answer, a hint of joy appeared in Lin Dong's eyes, and he asked somewhat anxiously, "Where did the things go?"

Before Lin Dong could speak, one of the holy servants kowtowed three times in response:

"She was merely asked to try using the power of devouring life to see if she could absorb the power of this mysterious treasure, yet she suffered such a terrifying backlash. Are we really going to offer up such a precious treasure as a sacrifice?"

Lin Dong and his companion hid in the shadows, looking at the ancient building that occupied a small but not large area. The black round roof could still be vaguely seen in the abandoned courtyard.

Lin Dong nodded, touching the lively, dancing mysterious talisman with a touch of nostalgia: "Yes, it's an old friend of mine."

"In reply to you, sir, by sheer chance, I encountered a mysterious treasure within the Iron Blood Sect. This treasure emitted a mysterious light throughout, and I cannot say for sure what its form was. However, I dared not look directly at it, for if I looked at it for too long, I would feel as if my mind were being devoured."

The three of them walked through Tiandou City. Fang Zheng glanced at Lin Dong and his companion a few times, seemingly unintentionally. How could these two be so strong when they looked so young?

Two days have passed, and they have inspected every building, big and small, in Tiandou City, leaving only an abandoned old house near Sunset Forest.

"Hey, I've been protecting you for so long, you should explain to me what this thing is."

If I can absorb the power of a few more vengeful spirits each month, I can break through to the Soul King level sooner. After reaching the sixth ring and ascending to the Spirit Realm, wouldn't I be able to reach the top in one step?

Looking into his still relatively clear eyes, Lin Dong paused for a moment and then nodded, "Lead the way."

The man in black replied tremblingly, "We're just following regulations, sending five girls to our superiors every month. We don't know what they're used for."

Another night passed, and Lin Dong sat quietly in meditation, like an old monk in deep meditation. If it weren't for the occasional sound of his breathing, Xue Di would have even wondered if something had happened to him.

As time slowly passed until noon, two spirit rings, one purple and one white, suddenly appeared on Lin Dong's body. The two overlapped and flowed towards his brow like the black spirit ring.

Lin Dong grinned, wasting no time, and immediately deactivated his simulated soul skill. Upon seeing Lin Dong and his companion suddenly appear, the two white-clad men inside the room reacted first, shouting:

Hearing this, Lin Dong nodded in surprise: "Then why not change your livelihood?"

He raised the corners of his mouth with some excitement: "At least with Yuan Power, tempering the body will be much easier."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room except for the holy slave and the two white-robed holy servants with horrified expressions was frozen into ice sculptures.

Lin Dong observed the situation inside from the outside, but unexpectedly, Lao San reacted instantly. His black spirit rings shone brightly, and he delivered a powerful elbow strike towards the door. As the wall crumbled, Xue Di reached out and pressed down on his elbow, looking at Lin Dong and asking, "What do we do?"

After satisfying Xue Di's appetite, the two began to inspect the large buildings in Tian Dou City.

But surprisingly, not a single hideout of evil spirit masters was found. He wondered if Tiandou City, as the capital of the Tianhun Empire, could provide him with any useful clues.

Seeing the scene before her, she was about to let out a sharp scream when Xue Di coldly struck her with a palm. Before she could utter a sound, she fell into a coma again.

Previously, due to his insufficient strength, the sealing of his spiritual power, and the fact that the Thunder Ancestral Symbol and the Ice Ancestral Symbol had not been with him for long enough, he did not take this risky approach.

When Xue Di saw the third eye that had suddenly appeared on Lin Dong's forehead, she couldn't help but sigh:

Under Xue Di's intrigued gaze, time slowly passed. She could sense that a rather strange change was taking place in Lin Dong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

The three remaining people, witnessing this horrific scene, immediately knelt on the ground in horror, repeatedly kowtowing:

"My lord, spare us! How could someone of your immense power condescend to come to a place like this? We are just insignificant people who deserve to die. We are very obedient in front of you. Please spare us."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

The man paused for a moment, then pointed at the two holy servants and said, "Reporting to you, sir, I presented the treasure to them as soon as I retrieved it. As for what happened afterward, I know nothing."

The moment his soul power diminished to the point of complete dissipation, the black soul ring also vanished completely, transforming into a stream of light that entered his brow.

"This kid is really skilled. The power of this mysterious talisman is probably even greater than my necromancy."

"What is this mysterious treasure you mentioned? Describe it in as much detail as possible."

"Elder? Who is that? Where is he going? When did he leave?"

There were only five or six people scattered around the room. The two leading figures, dressed in white, were the strongest, estimated to be around the level of a Human Soul King. The rest of the people were all Soul Masters with four rings.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, we dare not covet that mysterious treasure. We have already handed it over to the Elder along with this month's offerings."

"It's an adult!"

He excitedly sensed the energy within his body, but his expression instantly turned dejected.

He could only focus his attention on various forests or the human world. He wasn't too worried that the Ancestral Symbol would be absorbed by others.

Seeing him enter a meditative state, Xue Di couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "Is it really necessary to be so polite?"

"What do you intend to do with this little girl?"

From day to night, Lin Dong's transformation was still not over. Even Xue Di, who was in charge of watching over him, was a little tired. Suddenly, Tang Ya, who had been unconscious, woke up and opened her eyes groggily.

Lin Dong activated his simulated soul skill to conceal Xue Di and his own figures, and followed the person who entered the mansion.

But sensing the terrifying power remaining on it, he dared not make a move for a moment, and could only glance at Tang Ya with some resentment, muttering to himself:

The holy servant replied in a trembling voice, "Holy servant, this lowly servant dares not. I don't know how they got in."

"Kill him."

Lin Dong calmed his mind and sensed his dantian. He discovered that the huge seed of Yuan energy actually had four colors. The Yuan energy it output seemed to have something more than that of Tianxuan.

Even with all three factors in place—favorable timing, advantageous location, and harmonious relationships—Lin Dong wouldn't dare say he was completely confident. After all, creating a new type of energy is still quite difficult for his current body.

Under Lin Dong's deliberate guidance, the black soul ring flowed slowly like liquid, running from his waist into his brow.

The man looked up tremblingly and said respectfully:

To her astonishment, the Eye of Life emitted pale green life energy, slowly enveloping Lin Dong's entire body, which then emitted a faint glow.

"I actually guessed right! You really did create new energy! Tsk tsk, what a freak..."

This time, he happened to encounter the Devouring Ancestral Symbol. As his first ancestral symbol, the Devouring Ancestral Symbol was obviously the most suitable one to use to try this method.

"There aren't that many jobs. We don't have the talent, and we don't have the resources to cultivate. This is the best path we can find. We've only been in the Holy Cult for a month. They say that as long as we make offerings on time, we can get cultivation resources and, with the help of the leader, we can ascend to higher spiritual levels and improve our cultivation talent."

"In any case, the transformation was finally successful. It's much more refined than soul power, and... the ancestral symbol will adapt to the strength of this body anyway, so there's no need to worry too much."

Based on his understanding of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, perhaps both the Dark Ancestral Symbol and the Devouring Ancestral Symbol are related to that so-called Evil Soul Master.

"Where did this monster come from? How come he has so many treasures on him, and they're all things that no one else is qualified to touch?"

Looking at Lin Dong's excited face, Xue Di asked with some curiosity:

Lin Dong looked at Tang Ya, whose face seemed somewhat familiar, and his lips twitched. "Never mind, I feel like I've seen her somewhere before. She's not a bad person. Anyway, with you here, nothing will go wrong. We'll be done soon."

Xue Di nodded: "Then let's begin. I'll protect you."

"Snow Empress, don't be too harsh. I still have questions to ask."

They soon arrived at the western part of the city, near Tianling City. In a building similar to the one they had just seen, Xiaoya lay unconscious next to Lao San, staring at the mysterious talisman in front of her with a look of covetousness.

"Mid-stage Earthly Realm?! My current soul power is at least level thirty-two, yet it's only the Yuan Power accumulation of the mid-stage Earthly Realm?"

Lin Dong tossed him a bag of gold soul coins and laughed, "Go to school sometime. With your talent for reading people, even if you don't have talent for cultivation, you can still achieve something in other areas. It's better than doing these dirty things."

Old Master Yi stepped out from a portal of light, his eyes filled with surprise, and said with a smile:

Seeing their swift reaction, Lin Dong didn't waste any words and directly pointed at the holy slave, asking:

Seeing this strange scene before her, Xue Di's eyes narrowed slightly, and she couldn't help but wonder: What is this guy doing? How did the soul ring refinement end up on his head? He's quite an interesting fellow.

Lin Dong nodded: "Okay, let's go."

"Why aren't you saying anything? Do you know something else?"

Seeing the other person's evasive gaze and silence for a long time, Lin Dong narrowed his eyes and said in a dangerous arc:

Xue Di gave a faint "Oh," and said calmly, "This is the mysterious ancestral symbol you mentioned?"

"The elder is an elder of our Holy Spirit Cult. He suddenly appeared in Tiandou City for some reason. We are not qualified to know his whereabouts. As for how he left, it was probably about five days ago."

Fang Zheng bowed deeply to him: "Thank you, sir. I will remember this."

After wandering around the building for a while, the man in black quickly headed towards the domed structure, muttering to himself:

"You lowly slave, how dare you collude with outsiders!"

Lin Dong glanced at him, but ultimately didn't dwell on the topic. He tossed them a few gold soul coins and said:

Glancing at the other person's attire, Lin Dong's lips curled into a delighted smile. It seemed this must be the evil soul master Xuanzi had mentioned. Perhaps he could provide some useful clues...

Upon hearing this, Xue Di looked astonished and replied blankly:

Then, his gaze fell on the little girl in the black-clad man's arms, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes as he asked:

As soon as he finished speaking, Lao San, an eight-ring Soul Douluo powerhouse, turned into a pure white ice sculpture. To Fang Zheng's astonishment, Xue Di struck down with her palm, and the ice sculpture instantly turned into dust.
