"Haha, that's right."
Lin Xuan chuckled and did not deny it. But at this moment, Moro on the side suddenly sat up straight, looking at the mummy with a somewhat doubtful expression.
"This thing seems to be weird."
"Senior Moro has a keen eye. This mummy is extraordinary. It was accidentally rolled up from the bottom of the deep sea and salvaged. After our Tianshang Pavilion obtained this mummy, we carefully studied it for a period of time and found nothing. Even a strong man in the Death Profound Realm could not damage it with a full-strength attack."
Tang Dongling stood aside and explained softly that she was originally the host of this auction, so, except for those that were sent in temporarily, Tang Dongling knew the origins of these items very well.
In addition, Tang Dongling herself was very curious about this mummy, but she had never discovered anything from it, so she had no choice but to put it up for auction.
Now it seems that this mummy is indeed not simple, even the Lord of the Flame God Temple, Moro, cannot see through it.
Upon hearing this, Moro couldn't help but glance at Tang Dongling, and secretly admired her in his heart, thinking that she was worthy of being the daughter of the head of Tianshang Pavilion, her social skills were indeed very good.
At the same time, Moro couldn't help but think of the important matter he discussed with Lin Xuan and Bo Xuan before coming to Tianshang Pavilion. Perhaps, this girl would be a good choice, and it could be regarded as repaying a favor to Tianshang Pavilion.
"A mummy? This thing looks more like a puppet."
After he finished speaking, Moro noticed that Bo Xuan, who had been silent, had a look of doubt on his face. His eyes turned slightly and he spoke softly.
"Old man, you seem to know the origin of this thing?"
It's no wonder that Moro made such a guess. He could sense a faint fluctuation of devouring power from the mummy on the stage. As the controller of the Dark Ancestral Talisman, although Bo Xuan no longer holds the Dark Ancestral Talisman, he is equally sensitive to the power of the talisman and it is impossible for him not to sense it.
Combined with the look that seemed like he had guessed something but was not quite sure, Moro had a guess in his mind.
Unexpectedly, Bo Xuan shook his head slightly and said uncertainly.
"I don't know if this thing is real or not, but I think it should be the legendary thing we are looking for."
"No need to guess, this is the legendary Devouring Heaven Corpse!"
Lin Xuan chuckled, his eyes moving continuously over the mummy, as if he was admiring a perfect masterpiece.
"Devouring the Heavenly Corpse?"
"Devouring the Sky Corpse!"
Compared with Tang Dongling's puzzled expression, there was a hint of shock in Moro's tone, and even the way he looked at the Devouring Sky Corpse had changed.
"Are you sure this is the Devouring Heaven Corpse? I heard that it once traveled the world with the Devouring Lord. How could it be so weak in front of you?"
Although this thing was broken, Moro could naturally see that this thing, in its heyday, could only barely entangle a strong man in the Wheel-Turning Realm. Moro could suppress it with one hand.
"Of course I can't be mistaken about this thing. The devouring power combined with a special refining method, the puppet made can only devour the Heavenly Corpse."
There was also a hint of amazement in Lin Xuan's eyes. He admired and respected the Lord of Devouring from the bottom of his heart. He was a gifted child of heaven with extraordinary talent.
Among the eight ancient lords, in terms of strength, the Lord of Devouring is not as good as the Lord of Ice; in terms of attack, the Lord of Devouring is not as domineering as the Lord of Fire and the Lord of Thunder; in terms of weirdness and mystery, the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Space are even better; in terms of self-preservation and physique, the Lord of Primordial Desolation has an unparalleled strong physique, and the Lord of Life and Death is even more mysterious and unpredictable.
But apart from the Ice Lord who is even stronger because his mental power has broken through the Ancestral Palace realm, the Devouring Lord is able to overwhelm all the other eight ancient lords, and is indisputably stronger!
Because the Lord of Devouring has no weaknesses, he is proficient in almost everything, including energy, mental strength, physical strength, etc. In all aspects, he is not the strongest among the eight ancient lords, but he is second only to the strongest.
You have to know that the Lord of Devouring is a human. The physical body of a human is only slightly weaker than the Lord of Primordial Desolation who was born from the sea giant clan and the Lord of Life and Death who was born from the Immortal Holy Whale clan. This shows how strong his talent is.
The reason why Bingzhu is strong is because of her special background, which allowed her to break through to the Ancestral Palace Realm. It is not entirely due to her own efforts.
The Lord of Devouring is strong because he is really strong. Among the eight ancient lords, the Lord of Devouring is the one who truly inherited the mantle of the Ancestor of Talismans. He is also the one who has truly pushed the art of Talisman Master to the pinnacle and achieved perfection.
Needless to say about mental strength, if you want to break through the half-step ancestral palace realm, this requires a special opportunity.
Among the talisman masters, the Lord of Devouring is a master among masters in the field of magical talisman formations, and is good at using talismans to perform natal talismans.
The puppetry of the talisman master was further promoted by the Devouring Lord. In ancient times, who didn't know the name of the Devouring Heavenly Corpse?
Since the devouring of the Heavenly Corpse, there have been many special puppets such as the Blood Spirit Puppet, rather than simply a puppet that is like a corpse that can be controlled.
“As for why this Devouring Heaven Corpse is not strong, it’s because when the Devouring Lord refined the Devouring Heaven Corpse, he had not yet entered the Samsara Realm. Naturally, the strength of this Devouring Heaven Corpse is not that strong.”
"what?"
This shocked Moro. How could he refine such a powerful puppet before even entering the realm of reincarnation?
"Yes, back then, the Devouring Lord refined three corpses in total. This was the one he gave to Huanhuan, but Huanhuan didn't accept it. The Devouring Lord then intended to give it to Kun Qing'er of the Kunpeng clan. Unfortunately, he was killed on the way. This Devouring Heaven Corpse held back several powerful warriors of the same realm and helped the Devouring Lord escape."
After his eyes swept over the body that still had faint traces of the wound, Lin Xuan couldn't help but marvel at the extraordinary talent of the Lord of Devouring.
Even though it was surrounded and attacked by several demon generals, this puppet was only broken but not completely destroyed, which shows how powerful the Devouring Lord's refining skills are.
"Hiss! How could this Heaven Devouring Corpse be so terrifying?"
Moro couldn't help but gasp, but the next moment, that serious face showed a somewhat frivolous smile.
"Speaking of which, the Devourer Lord seemed to have had a lot of romantic debts in the past. Hey, you say, maybe that boy is really to the Devourer Lord's liking."
"Haha, just as romantic, right?"
Lin Xuan couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard this. He knew that Lin Dong had a lot of emotional debts. For example, there were two in the East Xuan Region, Mu Qianqian and Lin Ke'er, and there was another Gu Yan here, plus Lin Qingtan. "However, he is far inferior to the Devouring Lord."
"Oh? What do you say?"
Moro immediately became interested, and even Bo Xuan, who was very unhappy, couldn't help but prick up his ears. They were also curious about the romantic affairs of such ancient powerful men.
As for Tang Dongling who was standing aside, she had already pricked up her ears, and even glanced at Lin Xuan's profile from the corner of her eye from time to time.
"It is said that the Devouring Lord had a close relationship with the Lord of Life and Death. He had three Devouring Heaven Corpses in total. One was given to the young patriarch of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, one of the ancient demon clans. One was intended to be given to the Ice Lord, and the other was given to the Lord of Life and Death."
"hiss!"
Moro couldn't help but gasp. There were only three women among the Eight Ancient Lords. One was the senior sister of the Devouring Lord, and two were his junior sisters.
"As expected of the Lord of Devouring, so domineering!"
"Haha, that's just the beginning. The Devouring Lord and Huanhuan have nothing to do with each other. After being rejected by Huanhuan, an accident occurred on the way to the Demon Realm. Afterwards, the Lord of Life and Death gave his Devouring Heaven Corpse to the Devouring Lord and asked him to please Kun Qing'er. As a result, the two of them became a couple."
It can be said that the Lord of Devouring was able to appease Kun Qing'er only because the Lord of Life and Death was helping him from behind. As a result, the Lord of Devouring got the beauty, but the Lord of Life and Death...
"In addition, the relationship between the Devouring Lord and the Dark Lord is also extraordinary."
"No, don't say that, or I will really get angry!"
Hearing Lin Xuan suddenly mention the Lord of Darkness, Bo Xuan's heart couldn't help but jump. Although the Temple of Darkness was not founded in darkness, it was also considered a lineage of darkness. That was his, Bo Xuan's ancestor. How could he listen to this?
"Haha, it's okay. The Lord of Darkness is a carefree person. It won't happen, it won't happen."
Lin Xuan smiled and waved his hands, saying that this kind of thing is not something that cannot be talked about. In fact, someone needs to make these dusty past events public. Otherwise, some people will never take that step.
"Do you know how the Dark Holy Scythe's sickle spirit was damaged back then?"
The sickle spirit had been repaired by Yan, and it was Bo Xuan who went to ask Yan for help personally. Bo Xuan naturally knew the situation of the sickle spirit, but he had no idea how the sickle spirit was damaged.
Not only Bo Xuan, but even Moro was quite curious. There were many things that even they could not normally access. These ancient secrets. As for Tang Dongling standing aside, it goes without saying that these secrets, just the names in them, were all considered secrets, and ordinary people had no way of knowing them.
"The Lord of Darkness is also a man of temperament. He is extremely confident and has a bad temper, very similar to your disciple. During the ancient war, he once rushed into the plane cracks with the Dark Holy Scythe in hand and killed everyone. As a result, he almost died. Although Fu Zu rescued him in time, the Dark Holy Scythe's sickle spirit was also mostly destroyed in that battle."
Although Lin Xuan did not explicitly say who defeated the Lord of Darkness, Bo Xuan and Moro were both veteran demon hunters, so they naturally knew that person was Fu Zu's opponent in ancient times, the emperor of the Yimo clan, the Yimo Emperor!
"After that, the Devouring Lord also entered the plane rift alone, killed countless enemies, and retreated safely."
Lin Xuan smiled and picked up the teacup and took a sip, but that calm voice, in the ears of two people whose ages were unknown, actually caused an indescribable passion in their blood.
Even Bo Xuan and Moro felt the same way. Tang Dongling's heart was surgeing with emotion when she heard it. Although Lin Xuan did not say it explicitly, everyone knew that the Lord of Devouring rushed into the plane rift to help the Lord of Darkness vent his anger.
"Ugh!!"
After Bo Xuan came back to his senses, he couldn't help but lower his head and sigh. He suddenly had a feeling that the reason why his beloved disciple was like this was most likely because of the influence of the founder.
One is a junior sister and a senior brother, and the other one...
"Hmm? No, you just said that the Lord of Life and Death and the Lord of Devouring also have an extremely close relationship?"
Moro suddenly became alert and subconsciously looked in the direction of Lin Dong, only to see that Lin Dong was sitting next to Mu Lingshan. The latter had an especially bright smile on her face, and the way she looked at Lin Dong was unconsciously more dependent.
"This……"
"Some things may be arranged by fate. Legend has it that when the eight ancestral symbols were born, the Devouring Ancestral Symbol was the first to be born. Afterwards, it absorbed the spiritual power between heaven and earth to provide for the birth of other ancestral symbols. Later, the Ice Ancestral Symbol accidentally combined with the mysterious ice energy from outer space to be born. After that, many ancestral symbols were born one after another. Only the Life and Death Ancestral Symbol was extremely slow to develop due to the mysterious power of life and death. Later, it was the Devouring Ancestral Symbol that took the initiative to take the Life and Death Ancestral Symbol into its body and nurtured it with its own power, thus allowing the Life and Death Ancestral Symbol to come into being."
According to what humans say, the Devouring Ancestral Talisman itself is a romantic species, the Ice Ancestral Talisman accidentally gained the power of mysterious ice from outer space, and the remaining six Ancestral Talismans all received help from the Devouring Ancestral Talisman to a greater or lesser extent.
Especially the Dark Ancestral Talisman, which is somewhat similar to the Devouring Ancestral Talisman, and the Life and Death Ancestral Talisman that was personally nurtured by the Devouring Ancestral Talisman. It can be said that these two ancestral talismans are naturally close to the Devouring Ancestral Talisman.
Perhaps, at that time, the fate of these ancestral symbols had already become entangled.
"Ugh!"
Upon hearing this, Moro sighed again, but didn't say much. At most, he would just tell these words to his old friend when the time comes.
While the few people were chatting, Tang Zhen carefully explained the mummy, and he also made some moves to prove the magic and durability of the Devouring Heaven Corpse. Only then did he start bidding.
"Master Sword Saint, do you want me to tell my father about this thing..."
Seeing that Tang Zhen was about to start bidding for the Devouring Heaven Corpse, Tang Dongling had an idea and spoke softly that if Lin Xuan liked it, she would ask Tang Zhen to cancel the auction and send the item over.
"No need for that. There are less than three people in the world who can activate this thing."
Lin Xuan smiled and waved his hand, then reached out and patted Bo Xuan beside him and said jokingly.
"It's a good opportunity to bid and scare that kid. How about that?"
“Hehe, all right, little bastard, little girl, after that little bastard Lin Dong makes his bid, and when no one else raises the price, you can compete with him. This time, I’m going to teach that little bastard a lesson.”
Bo Xuan said this viciously with a teasing look in his eyes. He was now looking forward to it. When Lin Dong was about to bid for the Devouring Heaven Corpse, suddenly a person of unknown origin but extraordinary power would intervene. How would Lin Dong react? Would he be scared by them and dare not bid, or would he compete with fear and trepidation?
