First Seal Talisman Master

Black Vortex Talisman Seal, Seal Condensing Method.

Just two short sentences, yet they made Lin Langtian's brow twitch violently.

The so-called Seal Condensing Method was the most crucial path one had to take to become a Symbol Master.

Only when one's Mental Power truly condensed into a Natal Talisman Seal could one truly be called a Symbol Master!

Once these Natal Talisman Seals were successfully condensed, not only would they greatly increase one's control over Mental Power, but they could also temper it, making it increasingly solid.

However, this was not what delighted Lin Langtian. Given the power of the Lin Clan, finding a Seal Condensing Method for an ordinary Natal Talisman Seal would not be difficult.

What pleased him was that this was a Seal Condensing Method for a Natal Spirit Talisman!

Seal Condensing Methods were divided into three grades. Beyond the methods for ordinary Natal Talisman Seals were Natal Spirit Talismans and Natal Heavenly Talismans!

This Black Vortex Talisman Seal belonged to the second grade, a Natal Spirit Talisman, and was worth far more than a hundred thousand Pure Yuan Pills.

At this thought, Lin Langtian could not help feeling as though he had found a bargain.

As he sensed the Seal Condensing Method in his mind, Lin Langtian suddenly thought of something and said in surprise, "Black Vortex Talisman Seal... could it have originated from the Devouring Ancestral Symbol?"

Lin Langtian suddenly recalled that Lin Dong from the original timeline had also accidentally obtained a Seal Condensing Method called the Ancient Vortex Talisman Seal.

That Ancient Vortex Talisman Seal was a Natal Spirit Talisman copied by an expert from the Devouring Ancestral Symbol.

The Black Vortex Talisman Seal differed from the Ancient Vortex Talisman Seal by only one word, so they were very likely of the same origin.

Moreover, as far as Lin Langtian knew, the Devouring Ancestral Symbol seemed to be located within Great Desolation Commandery of the Great Yan Empire!

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian's thoughts drifted further, and he could not help recalling the words of some forum expert from his previous life. He was immediately shocked.

"Could Lin Dong be the reincarnation of the Symbol Ancestor?!"

Whether it was the Ancestral Stone, a divine artifact of heaven and earth, the most mysterious Devouring Ancestral Symbol among the Eight Great Ancestral Symbols, the ancient expert Great Desolation Emperor, or even Ling Qingzhu, the Young Palace Mistress of Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, all had inexplicably gone to the Great Yan Dynasty, a low-level dynasty. Everything was filled with oddities.

It was as though all of this had been planted as clues long ago, simply waiting for Lin Dong to arrive and unlock them.

He was not merely a Child of Destiny. He was practically the Symbol Ancestor reincarnated!

His expression shifted before Lin Langtian sighed. After shaking his head with emotion, he stopped thinking about such matters.

So what if Lin Dong truly was the Symbol Ancestor reincarnated? Lin Langtian had already forcibly changed the trajectory of his fate!

In this life, he would definitely contend with Lin Dong for glory!

Casting that thought aside, Lin Langtian slowly absorbed the entire stream of information regarding the Black Vortex Talisman Seal. After carefully pondering it for about half an hour, he finally opened his eyes.

There was a trace of realization in his gaze. This so-called Black Vortex Talisman Seal had clarified many of his previous doubts regarding Mental Power.

However, before that, he first needed to open the Mud Pill Palace.

He slowly closed his eyes, sat with his five centers facing heaven, observed his nose with his eyes, and observed his heart with his nose.

"The utmost of the spirit... guard the heavenly essence... gather essence and temper the spirit..."

The obscure incantation slowly rose in Lin Langtian's heart, while his mind gradually became focused.

This was a Mental Power cultivation manual he had obtained earlier from a Symbol Master retainer in the Lin Clan. Though its grade was not high, it was sufficient for use.

After remaining motionless like a statue for nearly half an hour, Lin Langtian's mind suddenly grew hazy.

Strands of Mental Power seeped out from his mind and slowly spread outward.

As his Mental Power spread, Lin Langtian, though his eyes remained closed, once again clearly "saw" the scene within the room. Then, his vision expanded further.

In the end, his invisible Mental Power drifted through the air, reflecting nearly everything happening in half the courtyard back into Lin Langtian's mind.

The spread of Mental Power was unstoppable, passing through walls and piercing the earth.

Yet Lin Ke'er and the others remained entirely unaware of this invisible Mental Power, not knowing that their every move was already being observed.

This strange scene felt quite novel to Lin Langtian. Compared with Yuan Power, Mental Power seemed more ethereal, yet this force undeniably existed.

After familiarizing himself with Mental Power, Lin Langtian immediately controlled the Mental Power in his mind and sent it surging toward the center of his head!

"Open the Mud Pill Palace!"

Sensing this, Lin Langtian's mind tightened. For a Symbol Master, the most important step in cultivating Mental Power was opening the Mud Pill Palace!

The head had nine palaces, corresponding to the nine heavens. The central palace was called the Mud Pill Palace!

This was the greenhouse where Mental Power was cultivated, just as the dantian was for Yuan Power!

For ordinary people, progressing from cultivating Mental Power to opening the Mud Pill Palace required quite a lengthy process.

But Lin Langtian was already at the Half-step Qi Creation Stage. Though he had not specifically cultivated Mental Power before, as his strength increased, his Mental Power had already reached the level needed to open it!

Mental Power poured into the Mud Pill Palace like a tide. As the final thread of Mental Power surged in, the intense pain immediately vanished completely.

Lin Langtian's tightly shut eyes suddenly snapped open at that moment!

"Phew..."

He exhaled a long breath. Before he could celebrate, Lin Langtian closed his eyes again and followed the cultivation method of the Black Vortex Talisman Seal.

At the same time, the Mental Power within the Mud Pill Palace began to slowly rotate.

Now that his Mud Pill Palace was open, he would directly imprint a Natal Spirit Talisman!

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

As the Mental Power within the Mud Pill Palace rotated faster and faster, a strange sound echoed within Lin Langtian's mind.

When that strange sound gradually grew loud enough to make Lin Langtian's ears ring, a glint suddenly flashed through his eyes.

The rotation speed of the Black Vortex began to fluctuate unpredictably.

The mental vortex alternated between fast and slow, seeming to conceal an exceptionally special rhythm.

Naturally, Lin Langtian had produced this strange rhythm entirely according to the instructions recorded in the Black Vortex Talisman Seal.

Otherwise, relying solely on himself, even if he racked his brains, he would never have been able to accomplish this step.

"Condense!"

A powerful mental fluctuation suddenly spread out from his mind.

Within the Mud Pill Palace, the mental vortex let out a strained wail before exploding with a bang.

As the vortex of Mental Power exploded, Lin Langtian's eyes became exceptionally bright.

Sizzle!

Countless tiny rays of light suddenly shot out from the center of the explosion.

These rays instantly linked together the scattered fragments of Mental Power, then rapidly contracted in a strange pattern. In the end, they formed a miraculous rune roughly the size of two fingers!

This rune was outlined by countless fragments of Mental Power. At a glance, it gave off an extremely profound feeling.

When the rune formed, it appeared particularly dim and blurry. Yet upon closer inspection, one would discover—

This rune actually resembled a mutated Black Vortex. As its light flickered, it seemed like a Black Hole quietly growing.

Hiss!

A suction force emanated from the strange rune. The fragments of Mental Power scattered throughout the Mud Pill Palace were drawn into it, and its dim glow finally brightened somewhat.

"Phew..."

When the rune resembling a Black Vortex formed, Lin Langtian finally opened his eyes completely.

The instant he opened them, Lin Langtian could clearly sense every movement throughout the entire Lin Family courtyard. Even the sound of breathing could not escape his perception.

"First Seal Talisman Master, achieved!"
