Wheel of Reincarnation
"No, although the Primeval Desolation Ancestral Symbol is in the Primeval Desolation Hall, the Primeval Desolation Hall has never truly possessed it. Those guys who are all muscle-bound, only know how to make themselves bigger and stronger all day long, yet they sit on a mountain of treasures without realizing it."
"Although the Master of Primeval Desolation also followed the Path of Strength, his wisdom and strategy ranked among the top of the Eight Ancient Masters. Anyone who was deceived by his honest appearance would die a terrible death. The lineage of the Primeval Desolation Hall only learned the Master of Primeval Desolation's strength, but not his wisdom."
"To be precise, the Primeval Desolation Ancestral Symbol that has not yet recognized a master is hidden in the deepest part of the Primeval Desolation Hall. Since the founding of the Primeval Desolation Hall, it has only passed it down. Even the current Hall Master himself does not know that the Primeval Desolation Hall has this thing."
"As for robbing? What makes you say that? How can the things we respectable people do be called robbing? We call it making friends!"
Lin Dong explained in a serious tone.
Little Marten and Little Flame: "..."
The Primeval Desolation Hall has stood for a thousand years; to have a friend like Lin Dong is truly the worst luck imaginable.
"Little Flame, you can secretly infiltrate the Primeval Desolation Hall and retrieve the Dao Ancestral Symbol without being discovered by the people of the Primeval Desolation Hall, right?"
Lin Dong, perhaps feeling a little embarrassed, coughed lightly.
"I've met the current Hall Master of the Primeval Desolation Hall. His physical body is indeed well-trained, but if he wants to find me, hehe..."
Little Flame smiled innocently, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"Yan, would you please accompany Little Flame to the Primeval Desolation Hall? Ordinary people cannot detect the fluctuations of the Ancestral Symbol."
Lin Dong thought for a moment and then brought out the Ancestral Stone Spirit.
"Don't worry, leave everything to me. The Primeval Desolation Ancestral Symbol has been dormant for so long, it's time for it to reappear in the world."
The rock transformed into a beam of light and entered Little Flame's body.
"Brother, I'll be right back."
Little Flame bowed to Yan in thanks, then his figure blurred as he transformed into a black and white tiger, crashing into the void and disappearing in a flash.
"You sent Little Flame to retrieve the Primeval Desolation Ancestral Symbol, could it be that you also left me with an unclaimed Ancestral Symbol?" Little Marten withdrew his gaze from the distance and said leisurely.
"The Three Great Ancestral Symbols of Devouring, Space, and Thunder are in my hands, the Flame Ancestral Symbol is in the hands of Senior Mo Luo, the Ice Ancestral Symbol is in the hands of Huanhuan, the Darkness Ancestral Symbol is in the hands of Qing Tan, the Primeval Desolation Ancestral Symbol has been given to Little Flame, and the Life and Death Ancestral Symbol is in the hands of the Undying Sacred Whale Tribe."
"All Eight Great Ancestral Symbols already have owners, so there are no unclaimed Ancestral Symbol for you."
Lin Dong his head and said.
"Then why did you let Lord Marten stay? Are you envious of that Stupid Tiger?"
Little Marten glanced at Lin Dong with a sour tone.
"My foolish little brother, it's for your life's most important reason, of course!"
Lin Dong thought to himself, but said calmly, "I want to go back to the Great Yan Dynasty to see my mother and the others. Will you come back with me?"
"Very well, this is also a good opportunity for me to formally pay my respects to the two elders."
Upon hearing that it was a Hui Muslim visiting relatives, Little Marten's expression softened slightly, but she quickly changed the subject. "However, are you sure you're not taking your two girlfriends back with you?"
As a big shot once said, the right way to run a crystal palace is for kings not to meet. Those who try to make all the beauties get away with it are already buried with grass three feet tall.
"Take Huanhuan and Qingzhu back with us?"
Lin Dong's legs went weak involuntarily. He simply couldn't imagine the scene of the two of them appearing together; it would be catastrophic, it could kill people!
"We'll discuss this when I get back. I need to go to the Demon Region first to bring back a senior." Feeling a headache coming on, Lin Dong rubbed his temples, activated the Space Ancestral Symbol, and tore through space to leave.
"Sigh, life is so boring~"
"That scumbag Lin Dong already has several stunning beauties by his side, and even that idiot Little Flame has Huo Miao's affections. I never thought that I, the incredibly handsome Lord Marten, would still be all alone."
A lone, single sable sitting in the pavilion took a sip of tea and suddenly sighed listlessly, unaware that his good older brother had already arranged a marriage for him.
Deep within the Demon Region, in the strange space where the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury is located.
This is a vast expanse of volcanic peaks, with lava rolling across the earth.
At the summit of an extremely steep and towering volcano, an old man in a red robe sat cross-legged in solitude, like a statue, as if he were a living dead.
The space rippled slightly, and a handsome young Human Race appeared.
"Senior Fen Tian, this junior has come to fulfill the promise made back then."
The young Human Race sat cross-legged behind the red-robed elder, his palms lightly touching his back. An extremely dense, milky-white pillar of light immediately shot into the sky, containing a vast, ocean-like Life Force that surged into his body like a tide.
Lin Dong stirred, and another Reincarnation Insight was mixed in.
As a top-tier expert in the Samsara Stage, the Old Man Fen Tian failed to break through to the Reincarnation Stage back then, which is why he ended up in this inhuman, ghostly, living dead state.
Since Lin Dong was going to help him escape his predicament, he might as well go all the way and help him complete the remaining half step.
As the ocean of life energy and Reincarnation Insight flowed in continuously, the Old Man Fen Tian's complexion became increasingly rosy, his hunched figure became more upright, and his shriveled body gradually filled out, completely breaking free from that state of being neither alive nor dead.
At this moment, the Old Man Fen Tian suddenly opened his eyes, which had been closed for a long time.
"Boom!!!"
A beam of light, thousands of feet high, suddenly burst forth from his body, transforming into an enormous disc above his head that slowly rotated without beginning or end, as if in Reincarnation.
The Wheel of Reincarnation is a symbol of achieving the Realm of Reincarnation Stage!
"Congratulations to Senior Fen Tian on entering the Reincarnation Stage."
Lin Dong withdrew his hand and said with a smile.
"Young friend Lin Dong, I am deeply grateful and will never thank you. From this day forward, my life is yours."
The Old Man Fen Tian had just finished his ascension turned around and bowed deeply.
What does it mean to repay a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude? Lin Dong embodies this principle.
Back then, the Old Man Fen Tian only gave him a Life Energy Pill to help him enter the Life Mysterious Stage, plus an Upper Grade Pure Yuan Treasure — the Heaven Burning Cauldron.
Three years later, Lin Dong returned, not only helping him escape his tribulation, but also helping him take the step he had failed to take ten thousand years ago, thus becoming Samsara Stage Great Power.
For the Old Man Fen Tian, the debt of saving his life was nothing more than this.
"Senior, there's no need for that. After all, you helped me back then."
Lin Dong wanted to refuse, but the Old Man Fen Tian was extremely stubborn. He believed that such a favor could only be repaid by serving under him. He also said that he was already all alone and if he did not follow Lin Dong, where else could he go?
Left with no other choice, Lin Dong could only make a twenty-year agreement with him.
The Old Man Fen Tian served under him for twenty years to repay his debt of gratitude. After twenty years, he would be free and could go wherever he wanted.
"Now that Senior Fen Tian has escaped his tribulation, his natal Natal Spirit Treasure should be returned."
"Although I haven't used the Heaven Burning Cauldron many times in previous battles, I still asked the Profound Heaven Hall to upgrade it to Ancient Divine Object, making its power several times stronger than before. This can be considered as repaying the kindness of the senior who gifted me the treasure back then."
Lin Dong flicked his finger, and a small crimson cauldron flew out swiftly.
"The Heaven Burning Cauldron has been upgraded to Ancient Divine Object? This..."
The Old Man Fen Tian accepted the Heaven Burning Cauldron in a daze, silently feeling the immense power transmitted from this Natal Spirit Treasure with which he had cultivated his life, and his eyes immediately welled up with tears.
P. S.: In the original novel, Little Flame should have discovered the Primeval Desolation Ancestral Symbol by accident in the Demon Domain and refined it.
There have been some changes, please take note.
