"Copy the Devouring Ancestral Symbol?"

As Lin Langtian finished speaking, the entire room fell silent. Even the well-informed Mo Luo couldn't help but show a look of shock on his face.

The Ancestral Talisman can actually be copied?

As a unique existence in the Heavenly Profound Continent, apart from the Symbol Ancestor who created the Eight Great Ancestral Symbols, even beings like the Ancient Eight Lords probably couldn't replicate an identical perfect Ancestral Talisman.

Although his heart was in turmoil, Mo Luo knew that both the Devouring Ancestral Symbol on Lin Langtian and the Devouring Ancestral Symbol on Lin Dong were genuine orthodox Ancestral Talisman.

Therefore, what Lin Langtian said was not a lie, but the truth.

"You... can you really replicate an exact replica of the perfect Ancestral Talisman?"

Mo Luo took a deep breath, looked at Lin Langtian, and asked again in a deep voice, "If the latter really has such unpredictable and miraculous abilities, wouldn't the Eight Great Ancestral Symbols be readily available in large quantities and become commonplace?"

Thinking of this, Mo Luo, the controller of the Flame Ancestral Symbol, couldn't help but feel a bit complicated.

On the one hand, as the master of the Flame Ancestral Symbol, he has always been proud of his mastery of the Flame Ancestral Symbol. If the Flame Ancestral Symbol is no longer unique, he will inevitably find it hard to accept.

On the other hand, if Lin Langtian could really replicate a large number of Ancestral Talisman, this would not only greatly enhance the strength of the human race, but also play an important role in fighting against the Evil Demon.

That's why Mo Luo was so conflicted after hearing about Lin Langtian's method of Devouring Ancestral Symbol.

Lin Langtian seemed to have seen through Mo Luo's thoughts and said softly, "Senior Mo Luo, the reason why I was able to replicate the Devouring Ancestral Symbol is because I possess a mysterious treasure."

However, although this treasure can replicate everything in the world, it can only replicate once, and the replication requires a large amount of energy. Therefore, over the years, I have only replicated a few treasures. In fact, during the last replication, my treasure was severely damaged and has not yet recovered..."

Lin Langtian also knew how terrifying the replication of the Ancestral Talisman was, so he did not reveal the details of the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror, and even deliberately weakened its function and disguised it as damaged.

After all, Lin Langtian understood the principle that possessing a treasure can be a crime.

Whether it was Mo Luo or Mu Lan, although in Lin Langtian's memory both were upright and kind people, Lin Langtian was not sure if they would become greedy after hearing what he said.

After all, you can't judge a book by its cover, so Lin Langtian had no choice but to be cautious.

Upon hearing that Lin Langtian's treasure had been damaged and could no longer be replicated, Mo Luo and Mu Lan exchanged glances, and even breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If Lin Langtian possesses a treasure capable of infinitely replicating the Heavenly Profound Continent, it would be a tremendous shock to the entire continent.

After all, every family has a unique heirloom. If Lin Langtian were to copy it into something commonplace, it would probably break their hearts.

Therefore, although Mo Luo and the others were skeptical of what Lin Langtian said, they ultimately chose to believe Lin Langtian.

After all, even the Symbol Ancestor probably couldn't create a treasure that could arbitrarily replicate everything. Such a treasure is too heaven-defying, and Lin Langtian's explanation is reasonable.

"I never expected that you would possess such a treasure, young friend, and even successfully replicate the Devouring Ancestral Symbol. It is truly an extraordinary encounter. In that case, there are now two controllers of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol." Mo Luo looked at Lin Langtian and sighed.

Two Devouring Ancestral Symbol Controllers—this is truly the first time in history that such a thing has been seen.

Mo Luo was very pleased with this, since the Ancestral Talisman Masters were the main force in dealing with the Evil Demon in the future. Now that there was another Ancestral Talisman Master, it would be a great thing for the future fight against the Evil Demon.

"Hehe, young friend Langtian is indeed extraordinary. No wonder LingShan is so reluctant to part with you." Mu Lan smiled slightly, then said, "Nowadays, you are probably the only one on the continent who possesses two Ancestral Talisman."

However, before Mu Lan could finish speaking, Mo Luo shook his head and said, "There is another person who possesses two Ancestral Talisman at the same time..."

"There's one more person?" Upon hearing this, Mu Lan was taken aback, and immediately asked in surprise, "Who else?"

Possessing two Ancestral Talisman at the same time is unprecedented. Now, two people have appeared at the same time.

"This person is none other than Langtian's cousin... Lin Dong." Mo Luo glanced at Lin Langtian and said slowly.

"Lin Dong? What are the two Ancestral Talisman on his body...?" Mu Lan raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Devouring Ancestral Symbol and Thunder Ancestral Symbol".

"The Thunder Ancestral Symbol?" Upon hearing this, Tang Xinlian was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Then the prize for the champion of the Thunder Hegemony Competition, Teacher, wouldn't it be...?"

"Don't worry, I have the original power of the Thunder Ancestral Symbol on me. Without careful examination, it's enough to confuse people. Moreover, the reason why the Thunder Ancestral Symbol ended up in Lin Dong is because I lost the competition," Mo Luo said.

"Teacher, you lost to Lin Dong? How is that possible?" Tang Xinlian's pretty face changed, and she said in disbelief.

How could my teacher, a powerful expert at the Samsara Stage, lose to a young junior? Could it be that Lin Dong, like Lin Langtian, possesses some mysterious power?

"Hehe, it was just a contest where I let Lin Dong take three of my moves. Who knew that this kid would actually have some skill and take them all?"

"If I don't back down, I'll really lose face. If Qing Zhi finds out, he'll probably laugh at me terribly." Mo Luo shook his head and said.

"I see..." Tang Xinlian nodded upon hearing this, but she was still slightly shocked.

After all, she knew Mo Luo's personality very well, and she also understood what Mo Luo was doing in the Thunder Sea Region. So she would never go easy on him in this matter. But even so, Lin Dong still managed to withstand three of his moves. If this news were to spread, Lin Dong would probably become famous immediately.

Fortunately, with Lin Langtian Lin Langtian's brilliant example before her, and having witnessed his terrifying performance in the Devouring Realm, Tang Xinlian was now somewhat immune to it. In addition, her mind was already filled with Lin Langtian, so her curiosity about Lin Dong only lasted for a moment before she forgot about it.

On the other side, Mo Luo looked at Lin Langtian, pondered for a moment, and said, "Young friend Langtian, you possess two Ancestral Talisman and have saved Xinlian's life. Therefore, I will not hide my plans for the Flame God Palace from you. Young friend, would you be willing to participate in this plan to slay the Evil Demon?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian knew that Mo Luo considered him one of his own and was ready to tell him the truth. Therefore, he quickly cupped his hands and said solemnly, "As long as it is to slay the Evil Demon, this junior will not shirk his duty!"

"Good, truly a talent worthy of our human race!" Mo Luo nodded approvingly, then slowly said.

"There are many Evil Demon hiding in this world. They are a great threat, but we have very little information about them."

This time, my plan is to use the Thunder Ancestral Symbol as bait to lure out some Evil Demon. Of course, the Thunder Ancestral Symbol now belongs to Lin Dong, so I can only settle for second best by taking a wisp of Thunder Origin and disguising it as the Thunder Ancestral Symbol.

"I see..." Lin Langtian said, feigning sudden realization.

"Since you are aware of this plan, I don't want the authenticity of the Thunder Ancestral Symbol to be exposed before we lure out a truly heavyweight Evil Demon ..." Mo Luo said.

"What does Senior Mo Luo mean?" Lin Langtian.

"According to our intelligence, the Evil Demon will not easily reveal themselves. They are likely to hide inside human bodies, then participate in the Tournament in a legitimate way, defeat everyone, and obtain the Thunder Ancestral Symbol."

"There are too many powerful people participating this time, so we cannot conduct a very careful selection. Therefore, if the person with the hidden Evil Demon inside him becomes the champion, the authenticity of the Thunder Ancestral Symbol will be exposed, and our plan will also be revealed."

"Then, the heavyweight Evil Demon we want to lure out will surely flee and disappear..." Mo Luo said in a deep voice.

"Therefore, we must ensure that normal humans win the championship, thereby forcing the lurking Evil Demon to reveal themselves and seize the prize..."

Lin Langtian nodded slightly, but his gaze fell on the fiery and alluring Tang Xinlian beside him, and he smiled, "When it comes to winning the championship, Xinlian is the frontrunner..."

"Xinlian does have the qualifications to compete for the championship, but it's not a sure thing," Mo Luo said, shaking his head slowly.

Upon hearing this, Tang Xinlian, who was standing to the side, moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she remained silent.

Mo Luo's eyes darkened considerably at this moment. He thought for a moment before saying in a low voice, "I suspect that the number one on the Rookie Ranking, oh right, the Faceless Man Xu Xiu is currently ranked second, has some problems."

Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow, and then couldn't help but admire Mo Luo's keen eyesight.

"Master, if there's something wrong with Xu Xiu, then choosing Lin Langtian is definitely the safest option," Tang Xinlian suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Mo Luo, who was standing to the side, was immediately surprised, and then looked at Tang Xinlian with a strange expression.

He knew his disciple's temperament very well; she was an exceptionally proud person who would never admit defeat. Now, she had actually taken the initiative to admit defeat, which was unlike her usual self.

Seeing her teacher's strange expression, Tang Xinlian immediately realized something was wrong. Her face flushed red, and she secretly glanced at Lin Langtian before whispering, "Teacher, don't look at me like that. There are other people here..."

"Hehe, whether she's an outsider or not, that's not necessarily true..." Seeing Tang Xinlian's expression as she looked at Lin Langtian, Mo Luo seemed to realize something and teased her.

As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Xinlian's cheeks turned even redder.

"Cough cough..."

Seeing this, Lin Langtian had no choice but to help Tang Xinlian out of the predicament, saying, "If I encounter that wicked person, I will do my best to stop him..."

Upon hearing this, Mo Luo smiled and nodded. Then, he patted the back of his chair, hesitated slightly, and said, "Furthermore, according to the intelligence I've received, in this Tournament, you not only need to be wary of Xu Xiu, but also of another person."

"Who?"

Lin Langtian and Tang Xinlian looked up at the same time, gazing at Mo Luo.

"A person who came from the Yuan Sect of the Eastern Xuan Region was named Hua Chen."

"People from the Yuan Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian hesitated for a moment before saying, "There's something wrong with this Yuan Sect. Those three Yuan Sect guys in the Devouring Realm had so-called Demon Seed hidden within their bodies."

"Demon Seed, huh? It seems my intuition was right after all." Mo Luo narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, clearly having encountered a similar situation before.

"This sect is indeed a bit strange..." Mu Lan said in a low voice. He clearly knew a great deal of information. Even though the Yuan Sect was far away in the Eastern Xuan Region, Mu Lan still knew some of it.

Mo Luo nodded and said, "It's a pity that Yuan Sect is not in the Chaotic Demon Sea. It's also difficult for my Flame God Palace to extend its reach to the Eastern Xuan Region. Some of the Super Sect there are not to be underestimated."

Lin Langtian nodded. Although the Eastern Xuan Region was not as vast and boundless as the Chaotic Demon Sea, the Eight Great Super Sects stood firmly and were quite resistant to outsiders. It was not an easy thing for anyone to interfere.

If Lin Langtian hadn't been from the Eastern Xuan Region, and hadn't only occupied a remote, lawless place, Heavenly Mansion would probably have been attacked by several Super Sect of the Eastern Xuan Region and wouldn't have been able to establish itself.

"However, if this Yuan Sect is indeed related to the Evil Demon, we will probably have to make contact with them in the future."

A fierce glint flashed in Mo Luo's eyes. He harbored an overwhelming hatred for the Evil Demon. If the Yuan Sect was truly colluding with them, he would have to find a way to eradicate them completely!

"Don't worry, I'm very familiar with the Yuan Sect. You can leave it to me to handle in the future," Lin Langtian volunteered.

He also regarded the Eastern Xuan Region as his base, so he did not want outsiders to interfere too much, not even the Flame God Palace.

Upon hearing this, Mo Luo and Mu Lan were taken aback, then exchanged a glance and nodded.

Lin Langtian possesses two Ancestral Talisman, which in some ways makes him even more promising than them. Moreover, they have vaguely guessed Lin Langtian's intentions, which is to monopolize the Eastern Xuan Region.

Mo Luo didn't think much of it; after all, the greater the power, the greater the ambition, as long as one doesn't do anything against human conscience.

"The Tournament will begin in a month. During this time, young friend Langtian, you will stay in Huoyan City. If you need anything, just ask Xinlian. She is in charge of the city's Enforcement Team, so you'd better avoid causing trouble, or you'll suffer if you fall into her hands," Mo Luo said with a smile.

Lin Langtian was slightly taken aback, then glanced at Tang Xinlian beside him and nodded.

Tang Xinlian glanced at Lin Langtian with her beautiful eyes, and raised her delicate chin slightly, saying, "I will not bend the law for personal gain. In the area under the jurisdiction of the Flame God Palace, no matter who it is, they must follow the rules."

Seeing Tang Xinlian's arrogant demeanor, Lin Langtian smiled slightly. Then, as if he had thought of something, a smile appeared on his lips, and he chuckled, "I wonder what the crime is for harassing a respectable woman?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Xinlian was taken aback, and then realized something. This man in front of her was actually flirting with her.

Thinking of this, Tang Xinlian's expression immediately turned somewhat embarrassed and annoyed. At the same time, she also felt a little happy. Judging from the situation, Lin Langtian was also interested in her.

With these complicated feelings, Tang Xinlian slightly raised her head, but seeing the wicked smile on Lin Langtian's lips, she gritted her teeth and suddenly shouted.

"If I find out, it will be a capital offense!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Xinlian tossed her fiery red hair and quickly turned away, her beautiful back view exuding an extraordinary air of dominance.

Lin Langtian stared dumbfounded at Tang Xinlian as she turned and left, thinking to himself that this girl really had guts. If he were to take her into his household in the future, things would probably get quite lively.

"Ha ha."

Seeing this, Mo Luo couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying jokingly, "How about it? Isn't my Chief Disciple quite capable?"

I see you're about the same age, why don't you two get together? Although you have a bright future, Xinlian is no ordinary woman either, she's good enough for you.
