The Secret of the Ancestral Symbols

The Black Eyes Old Man was stunned.

"I've been resurrected?"

Even with the facts laid bare before him, the Black Eyes Old Man still couldn't believe it.

He actually came back to life.

"Of course." Ling Qingzhu smiled and said, "Let alone resurrecting a person, even creating a world, Young Master Ye has that kind of ability."

"Create a world?" The Black Eyes Old Man looked skeptical, not believing Ling Qingzhu's words. He paused, then said, "But... why did you resurrect me?"

"Happy," Ye Feng replied simply.

"Just because you're happy, you're breaking the laws of nature?"

"Natural laws... Heh, those are just rules set by powerful people. When you reach my level, you'll know that natural laws, like human laws, are rules set by the strong." Ye Feng smiled, not caring whether he had broken the so-called natural laws.

"You're right, my strength isn't enough to comprehend the level you're at now," the Black Eyes Old Man sighed.

"What are your plans next?" Ye Feng asked.

"Bite!"

"Congratulations on overturning the storyline of Wu Dong Qian Kun and reviving the previous owner of the Devour Talisman Ancestor. Reward: 269 Attribute Points points."

The storyline that Ye Feng is currently overturning is just a very small one. The Attribute Points reward is only a little over two hundred, less than three hundred. Fortunately, even a small amount is still something.

"I want to go out and take a look. My sect was destroyed, so I'd like to see if I can rebuild it," the Black Eyes Old Man replied.

"Oh," Ye Feng said.

"Before I leave, I have something to give you. The Devour Talisman Ancestor has been taken. But I set a seal on it. If you can't break this seal, you won't be able to obtain the Devour Talisman Ancestor." The Black Eyes Old Man said, pointing his finger at Ye Feng's brow.

Buzz

The black light shot towards Ye Feng, stopping three feet from his brow. It encountered an energy wall that blocked it.

"You... refuse?" the Black Eyes Old Man asked in astonishment.

Ye Feng remained silent, which was taken as a response to the Black Eyes Old Man.

"Why did you refuse? The fact that you were able to come here shows that you are destined to be with the Devour Talisman Ancestor. This kind of rare treasure has indeed been buried for too long, and it is time for it to see the light of day again. I believe that you are the one destined to Devour Talisman Ancestor," said the Black Eyes Old Man.

"It's just something created by the Symbol Ancestor; I'm not particularly interested in it. Are you in a hurry? If you don't remember leaving, you can find a suitable master for the Devour Talisman Ancestor once my disciples arrive here," Ye Feng said with a smile.

"Apprentice?"

The Black Eyes Old Man wasn't in a hurry. After waiting for about half an hour, Ling Qingzhu, Wang Yan, Wang Yan, Qin Shi, Huangpu Jing, Wu Yun, and others arrived one after another.

"Senior sister, you arrived first as expected." Lin Langtian smiled helplessly.

"I told you not to call me senior sister. In this life, I want to be junior sister," Ying Huanhuan said.

"Hmm, why do you have such a familiar aura about you?" The Black Eyes Old Man stared at Ying Huanhuan.

"Because... in my previous life I was the Ice Master," Ying Huanhuan replied.

Ying Huanhuan sensed the residual aura of the Devour Talisman Ancestor on the Black Eyes Old Man.

"What? The Ice Master? One of the Ancient Eight Masters?" the Black Eyes Old Man exclaimed in surprise. He never expected that he would be able to meet the legendary figure, the Ice Master, in his lifetime.

"Alright. Old man, choose one of my fellow disciples. Although I was the first to arrive here, I cultivate ice-attribute techniques, so the Devour Talisman Ancestor won't be of much use to me," Ying Huanhuan said.

"Choose one? Choosing the master of the Devour Talisman Ancestor is a very important matter. You don't mean for me to just pick one randomly, do you?" the Black Eyes Old Man asked in shock.

"I also abstain," Ling Qingzhu said.

"Me too," Wang Yan said.

Following that, Wang Yan, Qin Shi, Huangpu Jing, Wu Yun, and others abstained from the contest.

Now it was Lin Langtian's turn to feel embarrassed. He said, "Why do I feel like you guys are letting me off the hook?"

Ling Qingzhu explained, "Master said that the Devour Talisman Ancestor is actually just a key. Not only the Devour Talisman Ancestor, but all the other Ancestral Symbol are keys. The Ancestral Symbol bear the imprint of the Symbol Ancestor Master on the laws of heaven and earth. The person who obtains it can use a certain law of heaven and earth. The Devour Talisman Ancestor is the law of devouring. The Flame Talisman Ancestor is the law of fire... Laws are everywhere. Even the Ancient Eight Masters who lost their Ancestral Symbol Ancestral Symbol have the ability to use them. This ability is the law of heaven and earth. Master also said that this law can be comprehended. That is to say, even without the Ancestral Symbol, one can still master this ability. It's just a matter of time."

As soon as Ling Qingzhu finished speaking, it Black Eyes Old Man was shocked.

"You know these things too?"

The Black Eyes Old Man stared at Ye Feng in shock.

"Am I right?" Ling Qingzhu asked.

"Yes, that's right. The Ancestral Symbol isn't actually that mysterious. It's just like you said, a key. A key for people to comprehend the power of laws." The Black Eyes Old Man nodded slightly.

The Black Eyes Old Man has now been resurrected. He is still willing to relinquish the Devour Talisman Ancestor.

Why?

Because he himself had already comprehended the law of devouring. Even without the Devour Talisman Ancestor, he could still use the law of devouring.

For those who have not comprehended the laws, possessing the Ancestral Symbol is equivalent to possessing the power of the laws.

For those who have already comprehended the laws, possessing the Ancestral Symbol is dispensable.

Wang Yan, Wang Yan, and the others yielded because they were confident that they could reach the level of the Ancient Eight Masters. Even without the Ancestral Symbol, they were confident they could reach that level.

As for Lin Langtian, he cared too much about Devour Talisman Ancestor because of Lin Dong.

Lin Dong obtained Heavenly Flames, causing his combat power to rise dramatically. This left an indelible impression on Lin Langtian. That's why Lin Langtian was so determined to obtain the Devour Talisman Ancestor.

Ye Feng stared intently at Lin Langtian. He was also worried that Lin Langtian was too reliant on external things. He said, "Since you are all willing to back down, then let it belong to Lin Langtian. Old man, you may begin."

The Black Eyes Old Man nodded. Fine cracks began to appear on the stone pillars surrounding the sacrificial altar. Finally, with a bang, it exploded. Thousands of black rays shot out, eventually intertwining in the sky and condensing into a black rune, almost tangible, only the size of a palm.

After the initial selection, the black rune slowly descended towards Lin Langtian. Upon seeing this, Lin Langtian hurriedly caught the black rune.

The black runes gave Lin Langtian an exceptionally cold feeling. The black light flowing on them seemed to possess a kind of spirituality, making them look quite strange.

"This is the way to unlock the Devour Talisman Ancestor. If you obtain the Devour Talisman Ancestor, whether it will accept you as its master depends on your fate. Remember, the Ancestral Symbol is a rare treasure of heaven and earth, possessing the power to protect the world. Along with its power comes its responsibility. You may understand these things in the future."
