Watching Lin Dong's shocked expression, a faint smile appeared at the corners of Mu Zi's eyes.
"The Ancestral Stone has the ability to balance the eight great Ancestral Symbols. Someone who gains the Ancestral Stone's recognition can, with its help, refine multiple Ancestral Symbols at the same time."
The power of the Ancestral Symbols was extremely domineering. They would instinctively reject any other seals within the Niwan Palace. Ordinary spirit symbols and heavenly symbols had only one fate before that kind of rejection: collapse.
