Symbol Ancestor's Direct Disciple
The first thing Lin Dong saw when he woke up was a plain white gauze curtain and tassels hanging from the top of the sandalwood bed, simple yet elegant.
Beside him, the beauty with whom he had spent the night in passion had vanished, leaving only a lingering fragrance in his nostrils. He recalled the intense battle of the previous night, that exhilarating...
As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and the ancients were right.
"Woke up?"
A clear, cool yet alluring voice rang out, causing Lin Dong to instinctively turn his head, his eyes immediately lighting up.
On the north side of the room, in front of the dressing table, a graceful figure with long, flowing black hair cascading down to her shapely buttocks was facing away from him, applying makeup in front of the Linghua Bronze Mirror. Her delicate body, fresh from the first rain, exuded a breathtaking beauty.
Lin Dong simply watched the beauty quietly, silently admiring the graceful curves hidden beneath her flowing white dress, and the astonishing size that only he could measure with his own hands.
"What's wrong?"
Having not heard a response from her lover for a long time, Ling Qingzhu subconsciously turned to look at the bed. Her beautiful face, as lovely as a Phoebe, was full of languor and spring-like charm, which made Lin Dong's heart skip a beat.
"Qing Zhu, you'd better not go out today. Otherwise, if your fellow disciples see you like this, the entire Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace will know what you did last night."
"Well, they should have had some suspicions about this anyway."
Lin Dong looked his wife over in a very open manner and laughed.
"... It's all your fault!"
The quick-witted Ling Qingzhu immediately grasped the meaning behind Lin Dong's words and couldn't help but spit on the culprit who was causing trouble.
"Hey, Qing Zhu, you're mistaken. Last night, our feelings were genuine, but we kept them within the bounds of propriety..."
Lin Dong couldn't help but retort.
"You still dare to talk!"
The stunningly beautiful woman stamped her foot and stood up, intending to step forward and silence her lover.
"Okay, okay, I won't say it, I won't say it."
Lin Dong wisely stopped the conversation. The beauty's face was very delicate, and he couldn't tease her too much, otherwise what if his wife ran away?
"Lin Dong, I've thought about it, and you should return to your sect ahead of schedule. If you wait two days and then return to the Dao Sect with my Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace army, what will the Dao Sect think of me? What will the other Super Sect think of me?"
Ling Qingzhu moved gracefully and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"OK."
Knowing the beauty's concerns, Lin Dong smiled and did not object.
"Okay, I'll help you get dressed."
The stunningly beautiful woman smiled, a smile that could launch a thousand ships, and got up to take down the black robe from the hanger. She had already had it washed.
Dao Domain, Dao Sect.
"I wonder if Huanhuan come out of seclusion yet?"
Lin Dong, who had just returned to the Dao Sect Ancestral Court, raised his head and gazed at the Dan River hanging high in Nine Heavens sky, as well as the countless disciples cultivating around him, lost in thought.
"You've finally come back?"
On a distant mountain peak, a slender figure suddenly appeared, leaning against the mountain wall, casually playing with her long, ice-blue hair.
"Huanhuan? I was just wondering when you'd finally emerge from seclusion."
Bold yet meticulous, Lin Dong's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm as he rushed over, extending his arms to embrace the Ice Blue Figure.
"Etc!"
The Green-clad Girl suddenly raised her head, her beautiful icy blue eyes filled with a chilling intent, colder than ten thousand years of Ice, which frightened Lin Dong so much that he almost thought he was going to die.
After stopping Lin Dong with her eyes, the Green-clad Girl stepped forward gracefully, her nostrils flaring as she sniffed at something on Lin Dong's clothes.
Unfortunately, nothing was gained.
After a long while, a smile of approval suddenly appeared on the frosty face of the Green-clad Girl: "Hmph, you're smart enough not to do anything to betray me outside."
"Phew, luckily I was smart enough to take a shower and change my clothes before coming..."
Lin Dong's tense nerves gradually relaxed.
"Also, don't think you can bully me just because you're in the Reincarnation Stage. I'm in the Reincarnation Stage now too. And in a year at most, or half a year at least, my power will completely return to its peak and reach the Peak Three-Stage Reincarnation Tribulation."
"If you dare to do anything to betray me then, you'd better think carefully, or you might end up losing your life. Because I, Ying Huanhuan, the Ice Master, am the kind of person who would rather be widowed than break up."
The young girl gently straightened Lin Dong's clothes with her delicate white hands and spoke softly.
"What are you thinking? How could I possibly do something to betray you?"
Lin Dong, as steady as a rock, smiled upon hearing this, lowered his head and lightly pecked the beauty, saying, "When did you emerge from seclusion? When I returned, the Supreme Sect Master said you were in seclusion attempting to Reincarnation Stage."
"Not long after the Dao Sect army returned, who knew that as soon as I came out of seclusion, I received news that you, this dead man, were left in the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace."
At this point, the beauty in his arms couldn't help but lightly punch Lin Dong.
"No, Huanhuan, you misunderstood. I'm after the secret of the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace — the Supreme Sensing Art. I need the power it represents— the Supreme Power."
Lin Dong his head and said.
"The Supreme Sensing Art? I didn't expect that the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace was also considered a direct descendant of my teacher. Is this one of the backup plans my teacher left behind?"
Ying Huanhuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then murmured absentmindedly.
Back then, both the Symbol Ancestor and the Demon Emperor were visitors from Outer Plane. After discovering the Ancient First Divine Object of the Tianxuan Plane, the Plane Embryo, they both wanted to obtain it in order to take a step further.
However, the Plane Embryo are quite resistant to beings from Outer Plane, making it difficult for them to willingly acknowledge a master.
Thus, the two, both visitors from Outer Plane, chose completely opposite approaches.
The Symbol Ancestor chose a gentle approach, descending upon this world to educate and guide the beings, helping the Tianxuan Beings to grow, in order to gradually gain the recognition of the Plane Embryo.
The Demon Emperor chose a brutal approach, forcibly attacking and conquering this plane. After Demonic Contamination, the Plane Embryo naturally had nowhere to escape.
Thus, the most intense clash occurred between the two sides whose ideologies and interests were completely in conflict, thus triggering the First Heaven and Earth War.
Of course, this is just background information; the Ice Master is unaware of these details.
Back then, despite countless efforts, Symbol Ancestor still couldn't gain the recognition of the Plane Embryo, but he did develop a method to mobilize the power of the plane— the Supreme Sensing Art.
By doing so, Symbol Ancestor could temporarily borrow the power of the Tianxuan Plane. He named the power of the Supreme Power, the Sense Stage technique the Supreme Sensing Art, and created the Supreme Palace, teaching the Supreme Sensing Art to his eight disciples.
However, among the Eight Ancient Masters, only the Ice Master managed to barely grasp the basics, while the other seven masters were completely clueless.
Therefore, there is a saying that the Supreme Palace has only had one official member from ancient times to the present. That only official member is the Symbol Ancestor, the Ice Master is half a member, and the other Ancient Masters are not even half a member, but can only be considered as extra members.
After the fall of the Symbol Ancestor, the Supreme Sensing Art changed hands several times and finally fell into the hands of the Founder of the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace. Feeling that he was not qualified enough and could not occupy the prestigious name of the Supreme Palace, he downgraded the sect he founded by one level and named it the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace.
The Supreme Sensing Art was passed down as a secret method by the Palace Master, generation after generation, in the hope that future disciples would be able to master it. Ling Qingzhu was the First Person in a Thousand Ages achieve this.
This is the origin of the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace. It can be said that the Supreme Palace is the predecessor of the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace, or that the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace is the Symbol Ancestor's Direct Disciple.
