Natal Sacred Object

"You may leave now. I will take care of Lord Lin Dong."

Black Tortoise waved his hand, and Martial Heavenly King and the others immediately obeyed and withdrew.

"I remember that Black Tortoise is a renowned Super Divine Beast in the Great Thousand World, so how come you are still Earth Supreme Stage?"

Lin Dong looked at the Blue-robed Man in front of him with curiosity.

"Having the bloodline of Super Divine Beast only means having the potential to step into the Heaven Supreme Stage. Not every member of Super Divine Beast Families will become Heaven Supreme Stage powerhouse after reaching adulthood."

"If that were really the case, then the Spirit Beast Realm would have already unified the Great Thousand World, leaving no room for the Human Race to survive?"

"Furthermore, my talent is not bad in the Black Tortoise lineage. The reason why I have stayed in the Earth Supreme Stage Realm for many years is to accumulate more foundation so that I can directly cross the Half-step Heaven Supreme Stage level and become a true Heaven Supreme Stage in one step."

Black Tortoise didn't think much of it, assuming that Lin Dong was a visitor from Lower Planes who lacked common sense about the Great Thousand World, so he simply explained it to him in detail.

"I see."

Lin Dong nodded slightly, then changed the subject. "To be honest, the main reason I've come to the Martial Spirit Academy is to borrow your Level Nine Spirit Gathering Array to recover my lost spiritual power."

"Level Nine Spirit Gathering Array? No problem, no problem."

Black Tortoise was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately agreed.

He was initially worried about what kind of amazing conditions Lin Dong, Spirit Artifact Great Grandmaster, would offer when he made a move. However, he didn't expect that simply borrowing the Spirit Gathering Array in the courtyard would be such a worthwhile deal.

"So, where is that Mid-grade Sacred Object that caused the problem?"

Lin Dong said with a smile.

"Lord Lin Dong, please take a look. This is my Natal Sacred Object, a shield with astonishing defensive power, which I crafted from the tortoise shell that shed its original form. However, since more than a month ago, the Sacred Object's Artifact Spirit has inexplicably fallen into a deep sleep and cannot be awakened no matter what I do."

Black Tortoise flipped his palm, and a palm-sized, jet-black shield immediately appeared, emanating an astonishing aura.

Sacred Object artifact can possess sentience and give birth to Artifact Spirit.

The combat power and various abilities of a Sacred Object possessing Artifact Spirit will also increase.

The Artifact Spirit of the Natal Sacred Object had inexplicably fallen into a deep sleep, which naturally made Black Tortoise very anxious.

Lin Dong silently accepted the black ancient shield and began using a secret technique to examine the interior of this Mid-grade Sacred Object. One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

"You've been nurturing this Natal Sacred Object for a long time, haven't you?"

After a long while, Lin Dong put down the pitch-black ancient shield with a somewhat strange expression.

"For a full thousand years, since its birth, I have placed it in the Supreme Sea to nurture it day and night, gradually advancing it to Mid-grade Sacred Object."

Black Tortoise took a deep breath, trying to mentally prepare himself. "Lord Lin Dong, what exactly happened to my Natal Sacred Object? Just tell me, I can still hold on."

"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing, it's actually a good thing."

"A good thing? How can the Artifact Spirit being asleep be a good thing?"

Black Tortoise muttered, completely baffled.

"Simply put, your Natal Sacred Object has absorbed enough energy and is about to advance, so the Artifact Spirit will actively fall into a deep sleep to concentrate its mind and prepare for the advancement."

"Once the Natal Sacred Object advances to a high-level Sacred Object, the Artifact Spirit will naturally awaken on its own."

Lin Dong explained calmly.

"My Natal Sacred Object has absorbed enough energy and is about to advance?!"

Black Tortoise's lips twitched slightly, and he muttered with a look of utter despair.

Heaven had a mercy on him. His Natal Sacred Object artifact Artifact Spirit had inexplicably fallen into a deep sleep, which had greatly worried him. He had tried countless methods to awaken the Artifact Spirit.

According to Lin Dong, if he were to actually awaken the Artifact Spirit, the advancement of the Natal Sacred Object would very likely be interrupted by him, its master.

So, all his attempts weren't helping his Natal Sacred Object at all, but harming it? What does it mean to be uncultured and ruin something? This is it!!

"Well, if you trust me, I can lend a hand to that Artifact Spirit, speeding up its advancement and shortening the advancement time."

"Then I'll leave it to you Lin Dong."

Black Tortoise was overjoyed upon hearing this; it was exactly what he had been waiting for.

"Find me a Quiet Room, and then wait patiently for a few days."

At Lin Dong's command, Black Tortoise immediately led Lin Dong into the back hall, personally selected a luxuriously furnished room, and then obediently stood guard at the door.

Inside the room.

"Tsk, this Black Tortoise is really impatient~"

Sense Stage the presence outside the door, Lin Dong smiled silently, snapped his fingers, and a dazzling Flame instantly rose up, quickly enveloping the ancient black shield and seeping into it step by step...

This fire is the Mental Fire of the Spirit Artifact Master, the supreme tool for forging spirit weapons.

Two days later, the door, which had been tightly closed for a long time, was pulled open from the inside.

"Lord Lin Dong, how is the situation?"

Black Tortoise, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground pretending to be asleep, leaped to the doorway in one swift step.

"I have successfully completed my mission."

Lin Dong smiled and handed over his Natal Sacred Object.

"Thank you, thank you so much!"

Looking at his Natal Sacred Object, whose aura was becoming increasingly restrained and obscure, and the joyful emotion emanating from it, Black Tortoise repeatedly cupped his hands in thanks.

"No need to thank me, it's a fair trade. I need to borrow your academy's Level Nine Spirit Gathering Array for a while." Lin Dong waved his hand.

"Hey, look at my head. Lord Lin Dong, please come with me. Black Tortoise will take you to the location of the Level Nine Spirit Gathering Array in the courtyard."

Black Tortoise slapped his forehead and cheerfully led Lin Dong away.

The deepest part of the Martial Spirit Academy.

Countless rays of light outlined an extremely complex and enormous array of light, lying silently here.

The Level Nine Spirit Gathering Array the only Level Nine Spirit Gathering Array in the Martial Spirit Academy. It is responsible for the spiritual energy supply of the entire Martial Spirit Academy and is the central hub, which is of great significance.

Of course, below it are three Level Eight Spirit Gathering Array, as well as more Level Six/Seven Spirit Gathering Array, which together form the spirit power supply system of the Martial Spirit Academy.

Under normal circumstances, no one may enter without authorization.

However, for Black Tortoise, the founder of the Spirit Academy, these rules were no rules at all; he could bring in whomever he wanted.

"Buzz!"

As Black Tortoise rapidly changed his hand seals, the array of light in the sky suddenly cracked open, creating a narrow fissure just wide enough for one person to pass through sideways. The excessively viscous spiritual energy, which then materialized into a cloud of spiritual energy, also quickly overflowed through the gap.

"Lord Lin Dong, enter the formation immediately."

Upon receiving the signal, Lin Dong immediately leaped into the crack, and the crack closed.

Inside the spirit array.

"The concentration of spiritual energy here is indeed terrifyingly high; we need to hurry."

Lin Dong, sitting cross-legged on the ground, only took a light sniff, and countless clouds of spiritual energy rushed into his body through his mouth and nose, his cells cheering faintly.

"Devouring Ancestral Symbol, Swallow Heaven and Earth!"

With a soft murmur, the slender figure directly possessed a vortex black hole a hundred feet in size. As the vortex black hole spun rapidly, it frantically devoured the surrounding viscous clouds and mist, even producing strange "whooshing" sounds.

His aura was rapidly growing stronger, little by little!
