Mastered in a Single Day

"That is Desolation Stone, Pure Yuan Treasure. It is the most important treasure of our Desolate Hall. When disciples cultivate Desolation Energy, they draw upon its Desolation Power to accelerate their cultivation. First, memorize the cultivation method of the Desolation Art, and then use the Desolation Stone to begin your studies."

After Wu Dao finished introducing the gray boulder, he pointed to the gray, Nameless Ancient Tablet not far away and said that the stele was also a high-grade Heaven-grade Spirit Treasure, obviously used by the Desolate Hall to carry the inheritance of Martial Arts Techniques.

Why would such Desolation Stone contain such immense Desolation Power?

Because it is essentially a manifestation of power that split off from the Great Desolation Stele (ranked third on the Ancient Divine Artifact Ranking), it is one of the many derivatives brought down from the Great Desolation Stele when it fell from the sky, and it is also the source of the Desolate Hall's cultivation techniques.

After the Dao Sect ancestors discovered the existence of the Great Desolation Stele, the Great Desolation Scripture voluntarily handed over the Great Desolation Scripture it created to the Dao Sect ancestors. The Dao Sect ancestors then built the Dao Sect Desolate Hall on this site. Later, the Heaven, Earth, and Flood Three Halls appeared one after another, and the four palaces were put back in place, eventually developing into what is now the present day.

In a sense, the Dao Sect can also be considered Symbol Ancestor's Direct Disciple, with a pure lineage and red roots. Similar to the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace, the Dao Sect has the Great Desolation Stele personally created by the Symbol Ancestor, and the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace also has the Supreme Sensing Art created by the Symbol Ancestor.

After the Demonic Disaster broke out, the two Symbol Ancestor's Direct Disciples, Dao Sect and Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace, joined forces to fight against the Yuan Sect, a super power supported by the Yi Mo. This was a battle of destiny.

"Clear."

Many thoughts flashed through Lin Dong's mind. He slowly stepped forward and channeled a wisp of Mental Energy into it. Immediately, an extremely profound cultivation mantra appeared in his mind.

"The Desolation Art is divided into ten levels. Only by cultivating to the third level and formally condensing a Desolation Seed within the body can one drive the Desolation Energy Force to attack. It takes ordinary disciples several months to reach this stage, and even Pang Tong and the other three took a full month."

"I just don't know how long it will take you. Good luck, little guy."

The Blind Old Man stepped forward, looking at Lin Dong expectantly.

"Me? Probably not for long~"

Lin Dong let out a light, enigmatic laugh, tapped his toes, and his figure appeared directly within the Hundred-Zhang Forbidden Zone, then placed his palm on the Desolation Stone.

"Directly extracting the Desolation Power from its source? Isn't he afraid that his mind will be instantly destroyed by that violent power?"

The Blind Old Man's gray-white eyes, devoid of pupils, visibly flickered.

"Senior Brother Mo, Lin Dong is not as simple as you think. Let's wait and see."

Knowing that Lin Dong was wielding the Devouring Ancestral Symbol to comprehend the Wu Dao, his expression shifted, and he vaguely guessed something. With that thing's help, Lin Dong might really be able to complete the entry-level cultivation in a very short time.

The Blind Old Man remained silent upon hearing this, and did not say anything more.

"Devouring Power, devour!"

Lin Dong pressed his palm tightly against the Desolation Stone, and with a thought, a vortex black hole appeared in his palm, unleashing a terrifying suction force.

The next second, an extremely powerful Desolation Power rushed into Lin Dong's body through his palm, flowing through his limbs and bones, silently strengthening his physical body.

A profound and obscure incantation automatically appeared in Lin Dong's mind, guiding the surging Desolation Power to strike the hidden and blocked meridians. With the massive supply of Desolation Power, his progress in the Desolation Art was rapid.

"Phew, this is the correct way to cultivate with Desolation Stone. The way of using them by carefully extracting the Desolation Power from the air from a distance of a hundred feet is soulless."

Lin Dong groaned contentedly, then immersed his entire mind in his body.

In just half a day, Lin Dong pushed the Desolation Art to the third level, officially cultivating a Desolation Seed within his body.

Just as Lin Dong was about to continue, a tremendous force suddenly came from the void, blasting this greedy fellow two zhang away, and his enormous consciousness awakened from the Desolation Stone.

Who is it?

Lin Dong, forcibly jolted out of the exhilarating feeling of advancement, opened his eyes unhappily, only to find the dissatisfaction emanating from the Desolation Stone before him.

"So it's the Artifact Spirit that has awakened. Is it dissatisfied with what I've done?"

Lin Dong curled his lips, then grinned mischievously, "Even your original form Great Desolation Stele, is only ranked third on the Ancient Divine Artifact Ranking, while my Ancestral Stone is ranked second. I advise you to submit to me."

"Buzz!"

A milky white light silently penetrated the colossal, desolate Desolation Stone, reaching deep into the Artifact Spirit within. Before the consciousness could resist, it obediently surrendered control of its body with a whimper, thus submitting to Lin Dong.

"That's a good girl~"

Sense Stage the even more surging torrent of Desolation Power transmitted through his palm, Lin Dong's mind once again immersed himself in the power.

The Desolation Art advanced even faster, reaching several realms in a single day: the third, fourth, fifth... and then the seventh!

"Boom!"

An extremely dense Desolation Power surged wildly from the gaunt figure, directly condensing into an incredibly thick gray beam of light that shot straight into the dark sky.

This magnificent cultivation phenomenon immediately startled the disciples of the Desolate Hall who were cultivating nearby from their deep meditation, leaving them all staring in disbelief at the scene.

After figuring out what had happened, many disciples regretted their lack of education, saying that all they could manage was a simple "Holy crap!" They couldn't even come up with a four-character phrase.

Regret Not at First not having studied for a few more years and learned more ways to praise others.

"Seven realms in one day? Compared to Lin Dong, those four, including Pang Tong, are simply four pieces of trash, no, the trash among trash!!" Even though Wu Dao was already prepared, he still couldn't help but swear.

Pang Tong True Disciple the palace for over three years, and to this day, they have only managed to cultivate the Desolation Art to the seventh level, and have yet to break through to the eighth level. Even so, this is already the fastest progress among the disciples.

"Wu Dao, your cultivation of mind and character is not yet thorough enough."

The Blind Old Man spoke calmly, his expression unchanged, subtly tucking his tightly clenched hand into his sleeve.

"Yes, Senior Brother Mo is right."

Looking at the Blind Old Man remained calm in the face of battle, Wu Dao secretly praised him, thinking that he truly deserved to be called the Senior Disciple Brother, and smiled with shame.

"Um."

The Blind Old Man nodded expressionlessly, then turned his attention back to the thin figure in front of the Desolation Stone.

"Martial Uncle Wu Dao, I should be considered to have mastered the Desolation Art, right?"

Lin Dong stepped out from the gray pillar of light and his figure flashed, appearing strangely in front of the two aged figures.

"Entry into the realm? At your current cultivation speed, you'll be able to cultivate the Desolation Art to the tenth level and achieve complete perfection in another month, reaching the same realm as the old Daoist and the others."

Wu Dao's lips twitched violently. This kid was definitely here to provoke him, absolutely!

However, the Hall Master hopes that there will be ten or eight more disciples like this who are "annoying," then the Desolate Hall will truly rise to prominence.
