Beside him, upon hearing his Eldest Brother's Words Spoken, Lin Dong was stunned for a moment before sharply drawing in a cold breath and looking towards him in shock.

Nirvana Realm!

Across the entire Great Yan Dynasty, experts capable of reaching this level were exceedingly rare. Those Nirvana Realm experts of the past had all possessed illustrious reputations, so how could a Nirvana Realm Expert's Tomb Mansion suddenly appear?

"I'm sure of it, but the Tomb Mansion has a Formation Seal. It hasn't yet reached its weakest point, nor is it time for it to emerge."

"So, we have to forcibly break the Formation."

"Otherwise, if we wait for it to appear naturally, it will take another two or three years. By then, a Cave Mansion left behind by a mere Nirvana Realm Expert will be little more than chicken ribs to us."

Xiao Yan nodded and spoke with certainty.

Waiting was out of the question. Waiting would be nothing but a waste of time.

This time, not only would he forcibly break open the Cave Mansion, he would also join Lin Dong in taking every last benefit for themselves.

However...

That seemed to mean his Second Brother's future wife would be gone?

Forget it. He would tell Second Brother about it later and let him decide for himself. At worst, once they grew stronger, they could go directly to Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace to propose marriage.

Xiao Yan thought to himself.

"A Cave Mansion left behind by a Nirvana Realm Expert? Lord Sable can forcibly break it open, but it will consume quite a bit of power."

"The most important thing is that if the Formation can draw upon and absorb the surrounding Heaven and Earth Origin Energy, and it itself has not been damaged, then it can form a cycle. Three days may not actually be enough."

"Second Brother, if the Formation opens by then but you've already returned to the Dou Qi Continent, wouldn't you lose your share of the benefits?"

A flash of black light appeared, and the black-purple phantom of a sable rat emerged on Lin Dong's shoulder, extending a claw to stroke his chin.

In his view, among the three brothers, one was a Dou Master and one was in the Heavenly Origin Realm. Both were still far from the Nirvana Realm. If they wanted to forcibly break the Tomb Mansion's Formation, they could only rely on him, a Demon Spirit of a peak Death Profound Realm expert.

"Don't worry, Third Brother. This time, I also brought Teacher with me. Teacher will help us."

"Teacher was at the Peak Nine-revolutions Dou Zun before his death, equivalent to the peak Death Profound Realm. After so many years of accumulation, once he revives, he will be able to take another step forward."

Xiao Yan touched the Ancient Ring on his hand and smiled at Little Sable.

Besides, the Tomb Mansion's Formation definitely was not at its peak right now. The Nirvana Realm Expert had been dead for so many years. In Xiao Yan's view, even without Old Yao's help, Little Sable alone would not need long to break it.

Of course, Little Sable's current condition was inferior to Old Yao's. Every bit of power he used was gone for good, so it was naturally better to reduce the expenditure.

"What!?"

"Hiss"

Upon hearing this, Little Sable and Lin Dong exchanged looks, and both saw shock in the other's eyes.

Taking another step forward—wouldn't that be equivalent to the Samsara Stage?

Life and Death fused as one, touching upon a trace of reincarnation. Even if that trace was exceedingly faint, it still carried a mighty power capable of controlling all things between Heaven and Earth!

This was the Samsara Stage!

Even the leaders of the Super Sects in the Eastern Profound Region were only at this level!

"Please appear, Teacher."

Xiao Yan spoke softly.

"Hehe, this Old Man is Yao Chen. Greetings, young friends."

An aged laugh sounded. Old Yao's phantom slowly emerged, and the instant he appeared, two tiny Fire Talismans flashed through his eyes before vanishing. Extreme cold and extreme heat alternated between them.

The moment the Soul Body emerged, its soul fluctuations seemed to form a faintly harmonious resonance with this Heaven and Earth, which differed from the Dou Qi Continent!

If he had to describe that feeling in words, it would be unity between man and Heaven!

"Hm? This spiritual fluctuation... You're a Heavenly Symbol Master? What a strange talisman fluctuation. Wait, is that the Flame Ancestral Symbol? No, it seems to be the Ice Ancestral Symbol. No, that's not right either?"

"Could it be that you control two Ancestral Talismans at once? An Ancestral Talisman wielder? The Dou Qi Continent has Ancestral Talismans too?"

Little Sable's expression changed again and again. He could not help jumping about on Lin Dong's shoulder and shrieking as he fired off one question after another.

An Ancestral Talisman wielder?

And one who controlled two Ancestral Talismans at once?

Other than the Symbol Ancestor, even the Eight Ancient Masters could not accomplish such a feat, could they?

But could there really be such a weak Ancestral Talisman wielder? With the cultivation of a mere Heavenly Symbol Master, he could control two Ancestral Talismans with completely opposing attributes and perfectly fuse the extreme heat of flame with the extreme cold of ice?

The potential of the Ancestor Realm!

"Hehe, this Old Man is no Ancestral Talisman wielder, nor do I possess any Flame Ancestral Symbol or Ice Ancestral Symbol. This is a Heavenly Flame."

"It is called Bone Spirit Cold Flame, ranked eleventh on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. This Heavenly Flame can only appear once every hundred years, at the moment when day and night alternate, in lands of extreme cold and extreme yin."

A nostalgic expression appeared on Old Yao's face. Back then, in order to obtain the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, he had gone through countless hardships.

"This Old Man is also very curious which is stronger: the Flame Ancestral Symbol, or the Bone Spirit Fire Talisman condensed from my Bone Spirit Cold Flame?!"

His aura slowly withdrew, no longer leaking even the slightest bit. A long-lost domineering air appeared on Old Yao's face.

There was no first in literature, nor second in martial arts. To become the publicly acknowledged number one Alchemist on the Dou Qi Continent, it was impossible for Old Yao to have no competitive spirit at all.

It was only after suffering that tremendous blow that his competitive spirit had remained buried in dust for far too long!

Until he met Xiao Yan, until he obtained the Talisman Master System, until inspiration collided and his soul transformed...

Old Yao saw hope—the hope of revival and of stepping into the Dou Saint Realm!

"A Heavenly Flame? Judging by these fluctuations, it should be no weaker than an Ancestral Talisman. But when Ancestral Talismans clash, it still depends on the strength of their wielders!"

"Although the current wielder of the Flame Ancestral Symbol is vastly inferior to the Flame Master, he is undoubtedly still a top expert of the Samsara Stage."

The shock on Little Sable's face gradually faded as he spoke thoughtfully.

"Third Brother, don't bolster others' prestige and diminish your own."

"Revival will come, and so will the Samsara Stage. As long as we obtain the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill, with the insights into Life and Death you have accumulated over the years, you may not be unable to take another step forward and enter the Samsara Stage."

Xiao Yan said with a smile.

Life and Death Reincarnation required one to fuse the intent of Life and Death and touch upon reincarnation before advancing to the Samsara Stage.

What better way was there to experience the profundity of the Cycle of Life and Death than dying once personally, then coming back to life?

"The Life and Death Reincarnation Pill? How could it be that easy? Only Reincarnation Realm Experts can refine such a pill. What level are we at now?"

Little Sable shook his head, and helplessness appeared on his face as well.

If he were still in the Demon Domain, then with his identity as a Sky Demon Sable, returning to his clan to obtain a Life and Death Reincarnation Pill would not be difficult.

After all, the Sky Demon Sable Clan had several Reincarnation Realm Experts!

But unfortunately, this was the Eastern Profound Region, human territory.

Although the Two Races would unite against the Abyssal Demon, there would always be the thought that those not of one's race must harbor different intentions.

What was more, the Eastern Profound Region's strongest Super Sect—the Yuan Sect—had always been at war with the Demon Clan of the Demon Domain.

In Little Sable's current state, he did not even dare let Yuan Sect members discover him. How could he possibly scheme for a Life and Death Reincarnation Pill that only Reincarnation Realm Experts could condense?

"I already have a lead on the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill. It is on the battlefield of the Hundred Dynasties War."

"However, there are still six years until the Hundred Dynasties War, which is held once every twenty years. Once our strength improves, we still need to find an unconventional way to enter it ahead of time."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan's gaze became profound.

If everything in the future remained unchanged and simply followed the future developments already known through the Dual-Passage Gate, what would be the point?

Having obtained such a tremendous opportunity as the Dual-Passage Gate, would I still only become a Dou Di after turning thirty?

Absolutely not!

"Hiss, damn it, Eldest Brother, are you sure about this? There really is a Life and Death Reincarnation Pill on the battlefield of the Hundred Dynasties War?! Would those fools from the Eastern Profound Region's Super Sects really be willing to part with it?"

Upon hearing this, Little Sable's eyes instantly widened, and he changed the way he addressed Xiao Yan with complete naturalness.
