What? My Great Qing...
"Of course, I have never wavered on this point, and I would appreciate it if you could enlighten me."
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Dong bowed deeply to the Elder Black Pupil.
"Good, good. I hope I haven't misjudged him. Perhaps this generation's controller of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol will do an even better job than me."
The Elder Black Pupil clapped his hands and laughed. He then pointed a finger at Lin Dong, and a palm-sized Black Symbol transformed into a Ghostly glow and quickly entered Lin Dong's body.
"This is a talisman I left behind. It can open the seal on the Devouring Ancestral Symbol. Of course, carrying it will also make things more convenient within my sect."
"Alright, retreat now. But remember to be wary of the Yi Mo. Before you have truly grown up, never reveal that you possess the Ancestral Symbol."
After saying that, without waiting for Lin Dong's response, the Elder Black Pupil gently waved his sleeve, and a gentle yet irresistible force sent him out of the space.
"Click, click, click!"
As time passed, the "world" in Lin Dong's eyes shattered suddenly like a mirror. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he had returned to the outside world.
"How much of what you believe about the last Sect Master of the Great Desolate Sect?"
The Little Marten, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
"What's the point of believing or not? No matter what kind of demons they are, if they dare to destroy this world, I will kill them."
Lin Dongdong paused slightly, then flew towards the sky above the rune nest.
"A formidable enemy of heaven and earth..."
A long, Youyou sigh echoed from the depths of the earth.
Beyond the towering mountains, in the center of the many core building complexes, a vast ancient square immediately comes into view.
The entire square is paved with Green Stone, and it covers a vast area of thousands of square feet. The most eye-catching feature is undoubtedly the Nameless Ancient Tablet that stands in the center of the square.
The ancient stele stands silently between heaven and earth like a pillar, its shape quite simple and ancient, exuding a sense of antiquity and vicissitude, as if it had existed here since time immemorial.
When Lin Dong arrived, the square was already filled with many figures of considerable strength. They were scattered around the Nameless Ancient Tablet, looking at it with awe.
Those who can reach this place are either those who have received prior intelligence or powerful figures from various major forces, since this is the essence of the entire Ancient Sect.
The Creation Ancient Tablet Heaven-grade Spirit Treasure in which Great Master figures from the Ancient Sect imbued numerous martial arts techniques into a single stele, allowing their disciples to choose the martial arts they wish to learn.
However, since the Creation Martial Tablet only allows ten people to receive the inheritance each time Great Desolation Ancient Tablet is opened, the competition for the seats is quite fierce every time.
Over countless years, powerful figures from all walks of life in the Great Yan Dynasty have obtained a large number of High-grade Martial Art the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades, and even legendary Creation Stage Martial Arts of creation.
"The four major clans, the Great Demon Sect, the Martial Alliance... almost all the forces that were supposed to arrive have arrived. As expected, these forces with prior experience in exploration arrive very quickly."
Lin Dong looked around and found that many familiar faces had already arrived.
This Ancient Tablet Space is extremely large. If you wander around aimlessly like a headless fly, you might not be able to explore it all even after ten days or half a month.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The sound of rushing wind filled the air as many powerful figures who had received the news were steadily making their way to this location.
More than ten minutes later.
"Clang!"
As a clear bell rang out, the Nameless Ancient Tablet suddenly trembled, and ten beams of light shot out from it, landing in a row on the stone platform in front of it.
As the beam of light dissipated, a futon with ten fingers exuding an ancient aura appeared in everyone's sight.
"Whoosh!"
The once noisy square immediately became completely quiet, and everyone's gaze suddenly became extremely intense as they stared intently at the ten prayer cushions on the stone platform.
Everyone knew that the competition for the spots had begun!
Perhaps out of consideration for the strength of the many other powerful figures present, no one dared to step forward for a moment, creating an eerily strange atmosphere.
However, this quiet did not last long.
"Da da da!"
Accompanied by a series of crisp footsteps, a tall, slender figure parted the crowd and walked unhurriedly to the first futon on the stone platform, then sat down An Ran under the gaze of many complicated eyes.
"I, Lin Dong, have taken the first seat. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"
The Black Clothed Youth sat upright on the futon, his hands hanging down on his thighs, a smile playing on his lips, his expression relaxed, his dark eyes slowly sweeping across the crowd.
That was an unparalleled style that looked down upon all the heroes under heaven!
"..."
An eerie silence fell; no one dared to utter a sound, and everyone wore an expression of utter complacency.
As the only Creation Stage expert on the field, and as the Peerless Great Fiend who annihilated the entire Yin Puppet Sect with a single blow, if Lin Dong is not qualified to sit in the first seat, then probably none of them present are qualified.
The handsome young man nodded with a smile, then closed his eyes to rest.
"Buzz!"
A commotion arose among the crowd. A Green Shirt Youth stepped out from the Lin Clan's camp, his hands behind his back, and walked towards the second seat on the stone platform.
The expressions on everyone's faces changed rapidly for a moment, and they finally gave up in despair.
Lin Langtian, Half-step Creation Stage expert, is the top genius of the Lin Clan among the four great clans of the dynasty, and he truly deserves the second seat.
What's interesting is that Lin Langtian didn't land in the second seat next to Lin Dong, but instead landed in the tenth seat in the opposite direction, far away from Lin Dong.
Those who knew about the feud between Lin Langtian and Lin Dong subconsciously wanted to laugh, but they were trying their best to hold it in because of Lin Langtian's status.
Although Lin Langtian was verbally defiant, his actions betrayed him.
Following Lin Langtian's actions, Wang Yan, Qin Shi, Huangpu Jing, Mu Qianqian, Wu Ci, and other top geniuses of the dynasty all stepped forward and secured their places.
The first three represent the hegemonic power of the dynasty, while the latter two represent the local tyrants of the Great Desolation Prefecture. Due to the enormous power behind these five people, no one dared to voice their opposition.
Thus, only three of the ten seats remain!
With the downfall of the four major clans and the alliance, there are no longer any top-tier forces capable of intimidating everyone, and the struggle has become extremely fierce.
The people looked at each other with increasing wariness. Who would be the one to initiate the second phase of the battle?
"Haha, if no one dares to step forward, then my Ancient Sword Sect will take the Eighth Seat."
With a long laugh, Liu Ku, the Sect Master the Ancient Sword Sect and Qi Creation Stage Great Achievement expert, jumped out carrying a Sword-type Spirit Treasure.
"Wait a minute, how about you exchange blows with the Green Wood Sect of my Great Qing Dynasty first?"
No sooner had Liu Ku finished speaking than a group of men dressed in blue robes rushed in.
"People of the Great Qing Dynasty? Heh heh, how could you Great Yan Dynasty allow your treasures to be touched?"
At this moment, Liu Ku showed no sign of being obsequious in front of Lin Dong. With his white hair and eyebrows, he exuded the air of a wise and enlightened master. He shouted, "Disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect, listen to my command! Form the formation!"
