Minor Achievement Immortal Talisman Master
"Boom!!!"
The instant the Space Ancestral Symbol entered Lin Dong's crown chakra, a powerful spiritual storm, enough to make even Life Mysterious Stage expert take notice, suddenly surged out from his Niwan Palace, causing the entire space to vibrate and hum.
The Immortal Talisman Master has succeeded!
In the Talisman Master path, the highest level is the Immortal Talisman Master Heavenly Symbol Master. Immortal Talisman Master are further divided into Minor Achievement Vehicle and Great Achievement Vehicle, corresponding to the Life Mysterious Stage and Death Mysterious Stage, respectively. Below that, they are further subdivided into three stages: Early Stage, Middle Stage, and Late Stage, corresponding to the Minor Achievement, Great Achievement, and Perfection levels, respectively.
Lin Dong is currently at the Minor Achievement Immortal Talisman Master early stage, a high-level Talisman Master comparable to a Lesser Life Mysterious Stage, Minor Achievement expert!
"Buzzing~"
After a long while, as the Space Ancestral Symbol officially entered Lin Dong's Niwan Palace, the monstrous Mental Energy storm gradually flowed back into his body.
"It's a pity that most of the energy accumulated in the Space Ancestral Symbol was used by Senior Zhou Tong to fight against the erosion of the Demon Emperor Lock. After a hundred years, the remaining energy in the Ancestral Symbol is negligible."
"Therefore, we can only focus on pushing the Talisman Master path to a higher level. After all, breaking through with Mental Energy is more difficult than breaking through with Origin Energy. Otherwise, we would also have a chance to enter the Life Mysterious Stage with Origin Energy."
The figure sitting cross-legged on the couch suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of regret in them.
But it doesn't matter, his opportunity to officially step into the Life Mysterious Stage lies in the Demon Region.
However, the form of the Ancestral Symbol Spirit that Devouring Ancestral Symbol has not yet been determined, and now another Space Ancestral Symbol has arrived, so we have to consider the forms of the two Ancestral Symbol Spirit at once.
Ugh, this is such a headache!
Once he enters the Life Mysterious Stage, he will likely be able to materialize the Ancestral Symbol Spirit in the outside world and summon it to fight.
"Speaking of which, I've now collected both of the Great Ancestral Symbol. If the Great Desolation Stele knew this, wouldn't it be very excited?"
Lin Dong stroked his chin and pondered to himself.
However, after careful consideration, Lin Dong temporarily abandoned his plan to set off for the Great Desolation Stele. He never fought a battle he was not sure of winning. The Great Desolation Stele suppressed a True Demon King passed Two-Stage Reincarnation Tribulation.
He planned to set the time for entering the monument after the Sect Competition. Qing Tan would bring the Hall Master of the Darkness Palace to the Eastern Xuan Region. At that time, the four Ancestral Symbol — the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, the Space Ancestral Symbol, the Ice Ancestral Symbol, Darkness Ancestral Symbol —would gather at the Dao Sect to give that True King a big blow.
"It's still early, why don't I continue trying to reach the Half-step Life Mysterious Stage..."
Lin Dong, having calmed his mind, once again entered a state of cultivation. He exhausted the last bit of energy remaining in the Space Ancestral Symbol, pushing his Mental Energy cultivation from Half-Step Immortal Talisman Master to Minor Achievement Immortal Talisman Master. Therefore, in terms of Origin Energy, he was still only at the Nirvana Stage peak.
However, after his Mental Energy broke through to the Immortal Talisman Master, his absorption speed of the Origin Energy of heaven and earth increased significantly when he was cultivating.
Two months after Lin Dong returned to the sect, Ying Xuanzi secretly sent someone to deliver a message saying that Ying Huanhuan had returned. Upon receiving the news, he disregarded his seclusion and hurriedly left the Desolate Hall's residence, heading straight for the Heaven Hall.
In the original novel, Lin Dong was constantly struggling with whether the Ice Master and Ying Huanhuan were the same person, whose memories were dominant, and whether the Ying Huanhuan regained her memories was still the same Ying Huanhuan, or the Ice Master head of the Eight Masters in ancient times.
Ying Huanhuan herself was also struggling with the question: if she accepted her past power, would she still be the same person? Would she lose control? Would she become like the legendary beings, abandoning all emotions and becoming an inhuman being, completely forgetting her lover— Lin Dong?
Ying Huanhuan was therefore afraid to accept her own power until the situation of the world changed drastically. Under the stimulation of the Master of Flames, she finally made up her mind to accept the power and memories, only to find that she was still the same person she used to be.
The two were consumed by anxiety and uncertainty, suffering greatly and enduring endless torment because of it.
In fact, it was ultimately proven that:
The Ice Master is Ying Huanhuan, except that Ying Huanhuan is the Ice Master who has lost her memory. After regaining her memory, she is still the Ying Huanhuan who loves Lin Dong to the point of life and death.
She merely recalled some past events and regained her power; that's all. She is Ice Master Ying Huanhuan, Ying Huanhuan was devoid of emotions in ancient times, and is now the Ice Master who loves a man.
Now that Ying Huanhuan has retrieved the Ice Ancestral Symbol ahead of schedule, her awakening process will definitely accelerate greatly under the stimulation of the Ancestral Symbol, and she may fall into this "barrier of perception" again.
Therefore, Lin Dong planned to meet Ying Huanhuan.
"Clang clang clang clang clang~"
The mountain peaks, shrouded in mist and clouds, resemble a fairyland, while the faint, melodious sound of a zither adds even more brilliance to the green hills and clear waters.
Beside the gently flowing mountain spring, a huge green rock stands horizontally across the landscape.
A graceful young woman knelt on the ground, calmly plucking the strings of a fiery red zither that shimmered with precious light. It was none other than the Heaven Hall's most prized treasure— the Heavenly Phoenix Zither.
For some reason, the once charming and lovely girl seemed to have shed her naivety overnight, returning to maturity, and even her temperament became aloof and indifferent.
"I never expected that Uncle-Master Qi Lei would hand over the Heavenly Phoenix Zither, which he treasured so much, directly to you."
A gentle male voice rang out, and the handsome young man arrived directly through the air.
"I recently traveled to the Extreme North Land. Before I left, the Grand Elder was worried that I would be in danger on the journey alone, so he brought me the Heavenly Phoenix Zither from the Heaven Hall and told me that it would belong to me in the future and that I would not have to wait until I entered the Life Mysterious Stage."
"How did I play?"
The melodious zither music stopped abruptly, and the white-clad beauty's delicate hands, as translucent as mutton-fat jade, also ceased, resting limply on the strings.
The moment the beautiful woman spoke, a chilling aura emanated from her.
Before leaving the sect, his cultivation level was only at the initial stage of the Eight Yuan realm. After consuming the Earth Core Gestating Divine Saliva at Demonic Sound Mountain, he reached the Eight Yuan pinnacle realm. At this time, he even achieved the Nirvana Stage peak in one step, surpassing the Chief of the Three Halls and becoming the same level as Lin Dong.
"Very good. To be precise, your piano skills have improved significantly compared to before."
The handsome young man stepped forward and knelt down beside the beautiful woman, getting very close.
"That's because I suddenly remembered that I used to be quite good at playing the piano."
The girl in white turned around, her clear eyes staring directly at Lin Dong. A chilling aura emanated from her and rushed towards him, but as soon as it got close, it mysteriously disappeared.
"Before? Huanhuan, are you alright?"
Lin Dong frowned; the girl's aura seemed slightly abnormal.
The girl didn't speak, but continued to stare at him Youyou.
"Pfft! You scared the crap out of you, you idiot!"
The jade-like woman's tense, Ice Yan instantly melted away, and even the temperature in the world seemed to rise considerably because of the girl's smile, becoming warm and inviting.
The aloof and dignified goddess has vanished, and the charming and lovely girl has returned once again, bright and dazzling.
"Heh, girl, you're quite mischievous~"
Lin Dong raised an eyebrow, stretched out his long arm, and pulled the soft, boneless body in front of him into his arms, rubbing his chin against hers.
"Hmph, let's see if you dare to bully people again, I'll scare you to death!"
A young girl lying in her lover's arms said this.
