Ancient Secrets

"Senior, I have come to Devouring Ancestral Symbol."

Lin Dong dared not be negligent and respectfully bowed.

"Everyone who comes here is here to Devouring Ancestral Symbol, but unfortunately, it has already been taken by a young fellow in the Creation Stage Ancestral Symbol."

The Elder Black Pupil smiled faintly, and as his thoughts shifted, the phantom of a middle-aged man dressed in a dark red robe immediately appeared in mid-air.

"So it was him, Sect Master Teng Sha of the Yin Puppet Sect."

Lin Dong then "timely" revealed a look of sudden realization.

While in Great Puppet City, Lin Dong saw portraits of the Heads of the Three Major Powers in Great Desolation Prefecture in order to gather intelligence.

"It doesn't matter who it is. The Devouring Ancestral Symbol has a seal I left behind, so even a powerful expert who has stepped into the Life and Death Mysterious Stage cannot forcibly refine it."

The Elder Black Pupil shook his head, then glanced at Lin Dong. Lin Dong felt a chill run down his spine, as if all his secrets had been seen through in an instant.

Ancestral Stone was about to block the Elder Black Pupil's view, but Lin Dong stopped him.

"You seem to have many secrets. Perhaps you are the one who can inherit some of the majesty of the Eight Supreme Divine Objects by devouring the Devouring Ancestral Symbol. However, while the Ancestral Symbol signifies power, it also means that you must bear the responsibility of protecting heaven and earth."

"Little one, are you ready?"

The Elder Black Pupil withdrew his gaze and said calmly.

"To protect the world? Of course!"

Lin Dong was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter.

Wasn't he born to protect the world? Who has more right or qualification than him?

"Heh, so sure? I'd better show you something first."

The Elder Black Pupil smiled in surprise, pointed his finger at Lin Dong from afar, and Lin Dong felt a blur before his eyes, and his mind was instantly pulled into an ancient painting.

In the vast and endless Ancient Tablet Space, one powerful figure after another stood in the air, each one being ten or a hundred times stronger than Lin Dong. They were on high alert, seemingly joining forces to resist something.

Opposite them, Endless Darkness swept in like a tidal wave, within which countless crimson lights flickered. Wherever the eerie darkness passed, powerful beings fell like harvested ears of wheat, turning into ashes.

Just then, the Elder Black Pupil suddenly appeared. He looked at the scene before him with a solemn expression, and even he, a top expert in the world, couldn't help but be moved.

With a light tap in the void, a Dark Rune thousands of feet long immediately emerged from the void and fiercely suppressed the eerie darkness.

A strange and powerful Life Force seemed to surge within the Dark Rune, instantly repelling the eerie darkness that was soaring to the heavens. With a flash of Ghostly glow, the Elder Black Pupil resolutely rushed into the Endless Darkness.

The scene abruptly ended, and Lin Dong's mind naturally withdrew.

"So? Did you find anything?"

The Elder Black Pupil had his hands resting on his knees, his expression An Ran and gentle.

"Those strange creatures don't seem to belong to this world. They're invading here, no, it's even as if they came specifically for you."

Lin Dong slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Even though he already knew all this, he was still shocked when he witnessed the brutal battle in ancient times.

"Hehe, little guy, you're quite clever."

"In ancient times, an extraterrestrial species called 'Yi Mo' invaded our world. All the powerful beings of the Tianxuan Continent fought desperately under the leadership of the Symbol Ancestor and his eight disciples, and finally repelled the attack of the Yi Mo. However, a small number of Alien Demonic Experts lurked in this world."

"Our Great Desolate Sect's founding patriarch, the Great Desolation Emperor, although he was fortunate enough to survive that fierce battle, ultimately passed away due to severe injuries and had to enter the Reincarnation. To this day, no trace of His Excellency the Great Desolation Emperor has been found."

"After several generations, the position of Sect Master of the Great Desolate Sect was passed down to me. Under my leadership, the sect was thriving. But one day, a Demon King led Demon Army to descend."

"After a desperate resistance, we annihilated the Demon Army, but the Great Desolate Sect was also wiped out. Only after my death did I vaguely realize that it was probably because of my identity Ancestral Symbol Master that I brought such a disaster upon the sect."

The Elder Black Pupil lost his voice, seemingly lost in a long memory.

"Because the power of the Eight Great Ancestral Symbols can seriously threaten the Yi Mo?"

Lin Dong spoke up at the opportune moment, making a "guess".

"The life force of the Yi Mo is extremely tenacious. Ordinary powerful beings can only choose to seal and suppress them, but the power of the Eight Great Ancestral Symbols can completely annihilate them. That is why the Yi Mo have taken action against the Eight Great Ancestral Symbols Eight Ancient Masters who wield the Eight Ancestral Symbols, as well as us, the second, third, and even fourth generation controllers of the Ancestral Symbol."

"The remaining forces of the Yi Mo lurking in this world are systematically eliminating the Ancestral Symbol Master, because our growth poses a great threat to them."

"Before my Great Desolate Sect was destroyed, the current controller of the Thunder Ancestral Symbol, His Majesty the Thunder Emperor, and the Thunder Mansion he established had been destroyed by a mysterious force, and the Thunder Ancestral Symbol disappeared without a trace."

"At the time, no one noticed anything unusual, which was probably the work of the Yi Mo. I just realized it too late."

The Elder Black Pupil responded instinctively.

"Thunder Emperor? Thunder Mansion? I never expected that the Elder Black Pupil and the Thunder Emperor were active in the same era, or at least very close in time."

Lin Dong's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he casually asked, "Where is the Thunder Mansion established by His Majesty the Thunder Emperor located?"

"Chaotic Demon Sea, Heavenly Thunder Sea Region"

The Elder Black Pupil's dark eyes gradually regained their luster, as if he had emerged from that special state.

"It's secured! We've got the Thunder Ancestral Symbol!"

Lin Dong was overjoyed.

"Wait, why has such a history never existed in my bloodline?"

A Ghostly glow rapidly emerged from Lin Dong's body, and the bewildered Little Marten flew out from the Ancestral Symbol space. Hearing this, he finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"So you are the Heavenly Demon Marten Tribe from the Demon Continent. Your clan's ancestor once fought alongside the Great Desolation Emperor."

"As for why this history is not in your bloodline, I am not quite sure either. Perhaps your ancestors deliberately erased this history, or perhaps your strength has not yet reached the required level. Perhaps you can ask your clan's Grand Elder."

The Elder Black Pupil thought for a moment and then pondered.

"Should we seek confirmation from the Grand Elder of our clan?"

The Little Marten had a pained expression on its face, as if it were struggling with something.

"Little guy, do you understand now? Inheriting the Devouring Ancestral Symbol means you will not only face constant pursuit from Alien Demonic Experts lurking in the shadows, but even if you truly grow up in the future, you will be at the forefront of resisting the counterattack of the Demon Army, vowing to protect this world to the death."

"Do you still want to inherit the Devouring Ancestral Symbol?"

The Elder Black Pupil remained solemn, silently awaiting Lin Dong's reply.
