A Fortuitous Spirit Seal
"Bang bang bang!!"
The Crimson Great Hand descended, shattering space. More than thirty Yuan Sect disciples, caught off guard, were all crushed. Only Yuan Cang tore through the void and disappeared.
"Hiss!"
Gasps of astonishment filled the air.
The Six Spirit Generals of the Yuan Sect, along with more than thirty experts at the Eight Yuan Nirvana Stage, were all blown apart by that mysterious old man with a single palm strike. Only Little Yuan King survived. The terrifying aura emanating from his body told everyone that he was a top expert who had surpassed the Life and Death Mysterious Stage.
Because the Yuan Sect was hoarding the treasure, the various sects couldn't help but feel a deep sense of relief. Luckily, they hadn't acted rashly and joined the Yuan Sect in trying to seize the Crimson Cauldron, thus saving their lives!
"Hmph, all of you, get out of here!"
Before anyone could continue their investigation, a cold snort fell, and an irresistible force violently pushed all the people from each sect away.
For a moment, only an old man and two young boys remained in this mysterious space.
"You are a top-tier Samsara Stage expert, yet you allowed a junior at the Life Mysterious Stage, Minor Achievement to escape from your grasp... This..."
Lin Dong shook his head in disappointment. He had thought that the Old Man Fen Tian's intervention would be foolproof, but Yuan Cang had managed to escape.
"I failed to break through to the Reincarnation Stage and forcibly sealed my last bit of Life Force to sleep here. Most of my combat power has already been lost. Besides, the Teleportation Talisman Seal on that person was made by a powerful Samsara Stage expert. It's normal that I couldn't stop him."
"However, I casually took a little trinket from him. Consider it a small gift for our first meeting."
The Red Robed Old Man remained calm, flicked his finger, and a profound Spirit Seal, shimmering with intense light, flew to Lin Dong's front.
"This is... Yuan Cang's Spirit Seal?!"
Looking at the Spirit Seal that was radiating a strong energy fluctuation, Lin Dong was pleasantly surprised. Yuan Cang, who had been stripped of his Spirit Seal, was also at the Lesser Life Mysterious Stage, Minor Achievement, and his combat strength was at most similar to that of Qing Tan's Senior Disciple Brother, Chen Kui.
With Chen Kui in Chen Kui, Lin Dong doesn't need to worry about the Dao Sect team suffering attacks from Yuan Cang while he's away.
Moreover, the Dao Sect has already seized the opportunity of the Yuan Sect's top experts being absent to hunt down the Yuan Sect team, and has probably already severely damaged them.
Two of the Yuan Gate Three Little Kings are gone, all Six Spirit Generals have perished, and most of the Five Hundred Direct Disciples died in Sect Competition. Yuan Cang is left to fend for himself alone. If he is wise enough, he will surely lead his remaining troops to find a place to hide and wait patiently until the sect competition ends.
"Well, it's barely enough to reach the Life Mysterious Stage, Great Achievement. It'll do."
Having said that, the Red Robed Old Man stared intently at Lin Dong with his sunken eyes, and said in a rather hoarse voice, "Little guy, shouldn't you introduce yourself now?"
"Wait, little girl, go to the side."
Without a word, the Red Robed Old Man flicked his sleeve, and a gentle force pushed Ling Qingzhu to another red mountain peak.
"My identity? It's nothing more than a coincidence that I gained the recognition of a few Ancient Divine Object and happened to know the Reincarnation of the Ice Master."
Lin Dong smiled helplessly at the slightly angry woman and then said.
"The Reincarnation of the Ice Master? The Ice Master has successfully passed through Reincarnation?" The Red Robed Old Man moved and grabbed Lin Dong's wrist, his emotions fluctuating greatly.
"The Ice Master is the head of the Eight Masters, so passing through Reincarnation doesn't seem to be too difficult for her." Lin Dong subtly twitched his wrist.
Hey, you know what, this old man is pretty strong, he can't pull it out at all!
"Good, good! May the heavens bless our Tianxuan Continent! The Ice Master is the most promising person in this world after the Symbol Ancestor to step into that supreme realm. With her in charge, we are not afraid even if those damned demons start another Heaven and Earth War."
The Old Man Fen Tian, nodded with extraordinary excitement, his withered face filled with wild joy. After a long while, he said:
"Young friend, since you have gained the approval of both the Ancestral Stone and the Ancestral Symbol, you must be no ordinary person. Now that you know my name, what kind of help do you need? Tell me before I fall into slumber."
"No, it's not you helping me, it's me helping you. Your Natal Spirit Treasure should still be suppressing a General-level Demon, right?"
Lin Dong waved his hand and said.
"You actually know about this? Well, the aura of the Yi Mo can't be hidden from the Ancestral Stone. That General-level Demon was something I desperately suppressed before my death. Even with the power of the Heaven Burning Cauldron, I could only barely seal it. How do you plan to help me?"
The Old Man Fen Tian immediately understood Lin Dong's plan.
"What is this, sir?"
Lin Dong flipped his palm, and a Dark Red Ancient Tablet radiating a warm aura immediately appeared. As soon as the tablet appeared, it flew to the Old Man Fen Tian like a swallow returning to its nest.
"Hmm? One of the gates of the Eight Extremes Heaven Burning Formation? How did it end up with you?"
The Old Man Fen Tian's expression shifted, and he couldn't help but show a look of joy. With it, suppressing that great demon would be easier for him.
Back then, when the Old Man Fen Tian was engaged in a Life and Death battle with that Great General-level Demon, he had the upper hand and prepared to use his Natal Spirit Treasure, the Heaven Burning Cauldron Eight Extremes Heaven Burning Formation to suppress it.
The Eight Extremes Heaven Burning Formation corresponds to eight Heaven Burning Gate, each with a gate suppressing it. Only when the eight gates are combined can the power of the formation be fully unleashed.
Unfortunately, the Great General-level Demon also saw the ferocity of the formation and immediately spent a great deal of effort to knock away one of the formation gates, making the Eight Extremes Heaven Burning Formation no longer perfect.
Left with no other choice, the Old Man Fen Tian had to expend his own life force to activate a flawed version of the Eight Extremes Heaven Burning Formation. Although he managed to suppress the great demon, he also left behind a hidden danger. One day, the great demon would eventually break free of the seal.
Having sealed away the Great Demon Old Man Fen Tian was on the verge of death. In order to survive, he had no choice but to hastily attempt to break through to the Reincarnation Stage in order to gain a sliver of Life Force.
However, the Reincarnation is treacherous, and the Old Man Fen Tian had not accumulated enough power. He failed in his hasty attempt to break through to the Reincarnation Stage, so he could only seal his last bit of Life Force and enter a state that was neither alive nor dead, hoping that future generations would save him.
"Found in this area, judging from its aura, it should be related to the Heaven Burning Cauldron. It seems to contain a powerful array, which should be an array gate."
Lin Dong smiled.
"Yes, it is the Eighth Heaven Burning Gate Formation Gate that I lost back then. With it, the Eight Extremes Heaven Burning Formation will be complete, finishing the great array and permanently suppressing that great demon. Without the replenishment of Alien Demonic Qi, it will eventually perish after thousands of years."
The Old Man Fen Tian held the crimson ancient tablet and sent it into the Heaven Burning Cauldron.
"Using the Power of Years to eradicate the Demon General is not a good choice. It might lead to more trouble than we'll live. It's better to eliminate them at the root as soon as possible."
Lin Dong clapped his hands, Ancient Qiankun Formation automatically flew out from the depths of his dantian, slowly unfolding in mid-air and instantly growing to a size of a thousand feet in the wind.
Immediately afterwards, the Ancestral Stone, the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, and the Space Ancestral Symbol also flew out and landed in three directions of the Ancient Qiankun Formation, serving as the array's core to suppress the array.
