Ancient Tomb Mansion, Ling Qingzhu

"Tiger Clan?"

Little Marten scratched its head. It remembered that the Tiger Clan had indeed produced a dominant clan in the past, but their bloodline had eventually died out.

"Senior, are you referring to the Dark Holy Tiger, whose bloodline inheritance was severed in ancient times?"

"It seems some people still remember those foolish creatures."

Cang Wu sighed lightly upon hearing this, a complex expression involuntarily surfacing in his eyes.

Over the past few months, whenever Cang Wu sensed the power of space and time and felt even the slightest stir, he would head into the mountains to spar with demonic beasts, killing countless ordinary ones.

To Cang Wu, these low-intelligence demonic beasts, or even Xiao Yan and the others, didn't really concern him.

If Lin Dong hadn't refined the Ancestral Stone, Cang Wu wouldn't have paid him much attention.

Cang Wu was naturally unrestrained and uninhibited, not one to fuss over details or worry about trivial matters for others.

Yet, every time he went into the mountains, Cang Wu would bring back the demonic crystals and corpses of the demonic beasts he killed for Xiao Yan.

It wasn't because Xiao Yan was adopted by Lin Dong, but because Xiao Yan was a Tiger Clan member with a mutated bloodline.

And the Tiger Clan had followed Cang Wu in the final battle back then. The entire Dark Holy Tiger clan had perished, with no survivors!

"Senior, what exactly happened back then?"

Seeing Cang Wu's unusual expression, Little Marten quickly asked cautiously. Cang Wu snapped back to attention, waved his hand, and said.

"I'll tell you when you meet them later. Telling you now would only hinder your pursuit of cultivation."

Cang Wu composed himself, turned to look at Lin Dong, and changed the subject with a smile.

"Kid, how come I sense many unfamiliar presences in your Lin Family today? And Yan City also seems to have more people recently. Is something going on?"

"Oh, that. I heard that a tomb of a Nirvana stage expert is about to emerge in the Tianyan Mountain Range. I came today to inform you of this news."

Lin Dong scratched his head and said softly. He had obtained this information from the Wanjin Merchant Association.

"I heard from Little Marten that after some Nirvana stage experts perish, the Nirvana Qi within their bodies might not dissipate but instead condense into a Nirvana Heart, which is said to help one break through to the Nirvana Realm."

Souls or Demonic Spirits, after rebirth, still needed to cultivate anew; rebirth didn't mean regaining all their strength.

Let alone forming a new physical body to resurrect, even Reincarnation stage experts, after reincarnation, still needed time to cultivate and gradually recover their strength.

Of course, there were exceptions, though they weren't entirely exceptions.

Firstly, one could use high-level pills with immense energy, like the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill, to boost the physical cultivation after rebirth by leveraging the vast energy within the pill during the process of forming a new body.

Secondly, one could awaken a reincarnated individual through secret techniques.

In addition, there were some special methods.

The two methods listed, while seemingly allowing for a significant recovery of strength instantly, were in essence still forms of re-cultivation, merely taking shortcuts.

As for Cang Wu's recovery of his physical body, he had only used a Yin Yang Pearl. The Creation Three Realms were already the limit for a Yin Yang Pearl.

"Nirvana Heart?"

A hint of eagerness flickered in Cang Wu's eyes. He truly needed such a thing. Lin Dong nodded slightly and explained softly.

"However, I'm not entirely sure, but I heard that our Great Yan Dynasty's four major clans will send people. I believe it should be there."

"The four major clans?"

Cang Wu's brow twitched slightly. He immediately thought of someone.

Time had passed for so long, and Cang Wu couldn't recall many things clearly. However, he distinctly remembered that during this emergence of the Ancient Tomb Mansion, one person would arrive—

Ling Qingzhu!

Ling Qingzhu, a prodigy of the Eastern Xuan Region, a successor of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, a direct disciple of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace Master, and also the Young Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace.

If Cang Wu remembered correctly, the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace possessed a supreme inherited skill called the Supreme Induction Art. This cultivation method was personally passed down by his teacher, Ancestor Fu.

The Eight Ancient Lords had also cultivated it, but unfortunately, despite cultivating for many years, Cang Wu had never been able to grasp its fundamentals.

The Supreme Induction Art was a very special cultivation method, unlike ordinary ones.

If Cang Wu remembered correctly, Ling Qingzhu was the first person to successfully cultivate the Supreme Induction Art. Anyone who could successfully cultivate it could be considered to have inherited his teacher Ancestor Fu's legacy and be a personal disciple of Ancestor Fu.

Therefore, Ling Qingzhu could also be considered Cang Wu's quasi-junior sister.

As for Lin Dong, he was merely an unexpected occurrence.

Furthermore, that Ancient Tomb Mansion seemed quite interesting. Cang Wu recalled that its owner was a righteous gentleman who cultivated the Way of Yin and Yang. Even the Nirvana Heart required the combination of Yin and Yang to be refined.

Don't ask why a righteous gentleman cultivated the Way of Yin and Yang; it's because the founding ancestor of the Way of Yin and Yang was a supremely upright gentleman.

"Senior, with your strength, aren't those peerless prodigies from the four major clans just a flick of your finger? The Nirvana Heart rightfully belongs to you!"

Seeing Cang Wu remain silent, Little Marten quickly stepped forward, flattering him. While speaking, Little Marten subtly nudged Lin Dong, as if to say: "Do you still want that Extreme Fiend Yin Dragon Saliva, kid?"

Lin Dong also reacted and quickly said.

"Senior, if you obtain that Nirvana Heart, you can definitely recover your strength quickly and won't have to worry about Nirvana Pills anymore. How great is that?"

Cang Wu came back to his senses, looking at Little Marten and Lin Dong's earnest encouragement, and couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head, finding it amusing.

Back then, Primordial, Lord Lei, and those other troublesome fellows often tried to get him to lead the charge in competing for resources.

In the blink of an eye, many years passed. The junior disciples from back then were now all out of contact.

"You brat, you're not trying to get something you want from that Ancient Tomb Mansion, are you? That's why you deliberately incited me to go along, right?"

Cang Wu chuckled teasingly. Seeing Lin Dong's sheepish smile, he immediately brightened. After a moment's thought, he said with sudden realization.

"I'm guessing there's an Extreme Yin Object inside the Ancient Tomb Mansion, right?"

"Senior, you truly are as wise as the gods. Then, what do you say...?"

Lin Dong looked at Cang Wu with anticipation. Beside him, Little Marten's tiny eyes were filled with even more expectation.

Lin Dong needed to find an Extreme Yin Object for Lin Qingtan, and Little Marten also needed some Demonic Spirits or similar items to recover its strength.

"Go ahead. I've also hit a bottleneck in my cultivation recently, so it would be good to get out and see things!"

Cang Wu's eyes also held a hint of anticipation. He was very curious about what kind of person could successfully cultivate the Supreme Induction Art.
