When he saw the Ancient Wood, Wu Yun knew what it was.

It was not only him who had struck it lucky and obtained the Dragon Whisker Needle! Lin Dong had also found this Ancient Wood at the Qingyang Town Trading Post.

There was a powerful Seal Condensing Technique on the Ancient Wood.

"Come on, follow me inside!"

Leaving Qing Tan, Lin Xia, and the two little tigers behind, the two entered the small room.

"Ancient Vortex Talisman Seal, Seal Condensing Technique."

"Big Brother, look!"

Lin Dong tapped his glabella, opening his Niwan Palace and revealing his Natal Talisman Seal.

His Natal Talisman Seal had already changed. The runes on it were more complicated than before, and the instant it emerged, Wu Yun felt a powerful suction force surge from it. The mental power he released to sense the seal was completely absorbed.

"Your talisman seal can devour mental power!"

"A Natal Spirit Talisman!"

Wu Yun was delighted. The Natal Spirit Talisman truly was powerful. If Lin Dong were to clash with him in mental power now, Lin Dong, with his Natal Spirit Talisman, would definitely be able to defeat him, even if Wu Yun possessed a powerful Talisman Treasure like the Thunder Flame Sword.

This Ancient Vortex Talisman Seal was precisely a Natal Spirit Talisman, superior to ordinary talisman seals.

"A Natal Spirit Talisman?" Lin Dong asked in surprise.

Wu Yun said, "There are three grades of Natal Talisman Seals: Natal Talisman Seals, Natal Spirit Talismans, and Natal Heavenly Talismans. A Natal Talisman Seal is merely the most ordinary kind and has no special abilities. The vast majority of Rune Masters possess only this ordinary kind of Natal Talisman Seal. A Natal Spirit Talisman, on the other hand, is a rather rare type of talisman seal. Such seals can change shape and possess certain special abilities. For example, the Ancient Vortex Talisman Seal possesses a kind of absorbing force. Natal Heavenly Talismans are even more terrifying. It is said that once unleashed, they can devour the heavens and earth. Of course, such things are far too illusory. Even Master Yan knows little about them."

Wu Yun also began cultivating the Ancient Vortex Talisman Seal. With his prior foundation in condensing an ordinary talisman seal, he would soon be able to complete the transformation of his Natal Talisman Seal.

He condensed new runes.

The new runes were outlined by even more fragments of mental power. At a glance, they gave off an exceedingly profound and mysterious feeling, as though even heaven and earth were contained within those seemingly simple runes.

When the runes took shape, they appeared especially dim and blurry. Yet upon closer inspection, one would discover that they resembled a mutated vortex. As their light flickered, they looked like a black hole quietly growing.

Wu Yun knew that these runes had actually been derived from the Devouring Ancestral Symbol.

"I should break through to the Two-Seal Symbol Master level very soon!" Wu Yun said confidently.

The new Natal Spirit Talisman made his mental power stronger and more solid. Coupled with its special absorption ability, his cultivation speed would undoubtedly become even faster.

Wu Yun began cultivating with greater intensity.

After the Lei Family's failed attempt to ambush and kill Wu Yun, the conflicts among Qingyang Town's four major forces had escalated, changing from covert struggles into open warfare.

The Lei and Xie Families began suppressing the Mad Blade Martial Arts School and the Lin Family in every possible way.

This forced the Mad Blade Martial Arts School and the Lin Family to move most of their people into Ironwood Manor.

The decisive battle seemed imminent.

It all depended on who would break through to the Core Formation Stage first.

Wu Yun extracted the Solar Profound Gang Qi and successfully refined it, his strength surging in one stroke to the late Heavenly Origin Stage.

He had used both the Grand Yin Profound Sha Qi and the Solar Profound Gang Qi. Both were top-grade, and the Yin Yang Qi within his body had formed a fine balance.

As long as he consolidated his cultivation, he could unite yin and yang and condense an Origin Pill.

Wu Yun did not rashly press forward. Instead, he turned to cultivating his mental power.

Another month passed.

Wu Yun successfully broke through to become a Two-Seal Symbol Master.

His mental power surged greatly, allowing him to clearly sense every movement throughout Ironwood Manor.

"Eh!"

Wu Yun was delighted. He discovered two powerful forces gathering within the Underground Lava Cave.

His Mental Body drifted inside to investigate carefully.

"They're about to break through!"

Luo Cheng and Lin Zhentian, who had been in seclusion for a long time, were finally about to break through to the Core Formation Stage.

With the fourth-grade Yanggang Qi that Lin Dong had helped refine for them, the Aura from their breakthrough was quite impressive.

"Condense!"

With a low shout from Lin Zhentian, the dense Primal Force around him condensed into a thumb-sized white pellet.

Wu Yun noticed that four extremely tiny Star Markings covered the surface of Lin Zhentian's Origin Pill.

"A Four-Star Core Formation."

A trace of surprise flashed through Wu Yun's eyes. When an Origin Pill was condensed, the importance of the Yin Sha Energy and Yanggang Qi absorbed during the Earth Yuan Stage and Heavenly Origin Stage was fully revealed.

The more Star Markings it had, the stronger it was!

Before long, Luo Cheng also condensed an Origin Pill, likewise with four stars.

Luo Cheng said, "Haha, now that the two of us have broken through to the Core Formation Stage, it's time to deal with the Lei and Xie Families."

Lin Zhentian was also high-spirited. "From now on, Qingyang Town will be ruled by our two families!"

The atmosphere in Ironwood Manor was different that day. Every high-ranking member wore a smile.

Lin Dong also emerged from seclusion.

His strength had reached the middle Heavenly Origin Stage, and he had also successfully broken through to become a Two-Seal Symbol Master!

Because of Wu Yun's involvement, he had grown even faster.

A Two-Seal Symbol Master could fight a Minor Core Formation Stage expert.

Just as the Mad Blade Martial Arts School and the Lin Family were discussing how to act within Ironwood Manor, Lei Bao successfully broke through to the Minor Core Formation Stage on the Lei Family's side.

He invited the Blood Garment Sect's deputy sect master as reinforcements, arranged a Feast at Hong Gate, and invited the Mad Blade Martial Arts School and the Lin Family.

Upon receiving the invitation, Luo Cheng said, "Haha, perfect timing. It seems that old bastard Lei Bao can no longer wait. After enduring for so long, it's time to give that old dog Lei Bao and that old turtle Xie Qian a surprise."

"Let's go to the feast!"

The group arrived at the Lei Family courtyard.

Lei Bao, Xie Qian, and the nine Heavenly Origin Stage experts of the two families were all present.

Wu Yun immediately noticed a man seated with a smile in an inconspicuous corner. He wore grayish-yellow clothes and had an ordinary appearance. No one made a point of speaking to him, so many people would subconsciously overlook him when they looked his way. Yet Wu Yun sensed a familiar fluctuation from this seemingly ordinary fellow.

Mental power! Lin Dong also looked at the man. He sensed it as well.

"Luo Cheng, Wu Yun and Luo Tong killed two Heavenly Origin Stage experts from my Lei Family. Hand those two over, and I can spare your Mad Blade Martial Arts School this once."

The moment they met, Lei Bao struck first without any pleasantries.

"Haha, old dog Lei Bao, you really are a dog. Do you think we would agree to those terms?" Luo Cheng laughed loudly.

"Besides, you may have gotten one thing wrong. Today, it isn't about whether your Lei Family will spare our Mad Blade Martial Arts School. It is about whether our Mad Blade Martial Arts School will spare you."

"It seems you won't give up until you see the coffin!" Lei Bao crushed the teacup in his hand and abruptly rose to his feet, releasing a powerful Aura.

Core Formation Stage! "Brother Lei is already a Core Formation Stage expert. What do you have to contend against us?" Xie Qian said smugly from the side.

However, Luo Cheng did not even look at Xie Qian.

"Hehe, old dog Lei, you aren't the only one who broke through!"

"Haha, old dog Lei Bao, you never expected this, did you?"

Luo Cheng and Lin Zhentian erupted with Primal Force at the same time, fully revealing their Core Formation Stage strength.

They smiled as they looked at Lei Bao, then glanced disdainfully at Xie Qian... We have two!

Lei Bao frowned deeply.

Xie Qian froze, unable to sit or stand at ease.

The clown was actually himself.

Among Qingyang Town's four great powers, he was the only one who had not broken through to the Core Formation Stage.

"Hmph, do you think I made no preparations of my own?"

Lei Bao snorted and cupped his hands toward the corner.

"Master Gu, I ask you to take action!"

"Gladly."

A calm voice sounded. Master Gu rose from the corner, releasing powerful mental power as he arrogantly swept his gaze across everyone in the hall.

"I am Gu Ying, deputy sect master of the Flame City Blood Garment Sect, a Two-Seal Symbol Master."

Gu Ying held his head high, as though he were saying that everyone present was trash.

Xie Qian said, "Haha, with Brother Lei and Master Gu, one a Two-Seal Symbol Master and one a Core Formation Stage expert, Luo Cheng, Lin Zhentian, you celebrated too soon."

The smiles vanished from Luo Cheng and Lin Zhentian's faces, replaced by solemn expressions. Whether it was the Blood Garment Sect or a Two-Seal Symbol Master, both posed an extremely powerful threat to them. Wu Yun and Lin Dong stood behind them, watching quietly as the two sides traded performances, one act after another.

Luo Cheng, Lin Zhentian, and the others still did not know that Wu Yun and Lin Dong had both broken through to become Two-Seal Symbol Masters.

So they were a tiny bit panicked.

Just as the Lei and Xie Families were feeling smug, Wu Yun said, "Even old dog Lei isn't barking as loudly as you are. Yet you, little dog Xie, are yapping away instead."

"Is being a Two-Seal Symbol Master such a big deal?"

Lin Dong said, "Exactly. Who doesn't have a Two-Seal Symbol Master!"

As he spoke, Wu Yun and Lin Dong also erupted with powerful mental pressure, stronger than Gu Ying's.

Every old fossil in the hall was stunned! Xie Qian directly burst into tears... Only my family doesn't have one!

Please... votes... votes...!!!
