Space Ancestral Symbol

Space Ancestral Symbol

Mu Chen did not bring Tuntun with him. He came alone to the mountaintop, where he could take in the full view of Qingyang Town in the distance.

To be safe, Mu Chen planned to refine the Space Ancestral Symbol now. Among the Eight Great Ancestral Symbols, the Space Ancestral Symbol's mobility and flexibility were unmatched.

Unless his opponent possessed the ability to seal space or was far stronger than Mu Chen, they would be unable to stop him once he possessed the Space Ancestral Symbol.

One only had to look at the Lord of Space, one of the Eight Ancient Lords. His masterful command of the Power of Space had given countless Yimo experts a terrible headache.

He was as slippery as a loach; trying to catch him was truly difficult.

Thus, when facing the Lord of Space, it was better to fight a powerhouse like the Thunder Lord head-on. The Lord of Space was simply too infuriating and could easily make people lose their composure.

A rune emitting silver light appeared in his hand. The instant it emerged into the air, violent ripples spread through the surrounding space, like wind stirring the surface of still water. That was the Power of Space surging.

"The aura of the Space Ancestral Symbol... I feel like I've sensed it somewhere before," Little Marten muttered in confusion.

Long ago, when he still possessed his physical body, he had felt such spatial fluctuations before. They gave him a somewhat familiar feeling.

Mu Chen did not explain. The Lord of Space was currently within the Heavenly Cave of your Heavenly Demon Marten Clan. As for whether the Lord of Space himself was a Heavenly Demon Marten, Mu Chen did not know. In any case, he was connected to the Heavenly Demon Martens.

As the Space Ancestral Symbol entered his body, the Source Qi within Mu Chen began to rise. The portion of Source Qi in his Qi Mansion belonging to the Space Ancestral Symbol also began to increase, gradually approaching the Devouring Qi.

Because the Eight Great Ancestral Symbols had been within him for several years, the Space Ancestral Symbol did not reject Mu Chen. Nothing unexpected happened during the process.

To control the Space Ancestral Symbol, one had to understand the power of space.

Mu Chen could feel the surrounding space seemingly come alive and begin to squirm. His consciousness slowly spread from his body and merged into space. Space was everywhere; his body itself existed within it.

When a person's consciousness merged with space, it was as though they gained a godlike perspective, with all things between heaven and earth laid bare before their eyes.

Lin Dong's family, Tuntun playing in the woods, the vast mountains and rivers, the gentle sunlight, the sea of clouds billowing like white waves... His consciousness followed space and stretched to extremely distant places.

At that moment, it was as if he had broken free from the restraints of his flesh and soared freely between heaven and earth.

He greatly enjoyed the process. It was free and comfortable; he needed to think of nothing as his consciousness completely merged into the boundless space. His state of mind became exceptionally clear at that moment, as though it had been elevated.

He did not know where he had drifted, nor how long he had drifted. Mu Chen stretched lazily, then followed his connection to his body and returned to it.

"Mu Chen, how did it feel? Did you pass the Space Ancestral Symbol's trial?" Little Marten asked curiously upon seeing Mu Chen open his eyes.

"It was a very peculiar feeling. It was as though I could go anywhere I wanted in this world, free and unfettered. The power of space truly is formidable," Mu Chen said with emotion.

During that process, he had known that he could not panic, or he would have been unable to find his body again.

An ordinary person whose consciousness left their body might truly panic, but Mu Chen had not. He knew this was a trial. Only by wholeheartedly merging into space could one experience the mysteries of the Power of Space.

"As for the trial, I passed."

With a thought from Mu Chen, a faint silver radiance emerged around his body. The surrounding space seemed to merge with him.

With a single thought, he could traverse space.

Buzz.

The Source Qi within his body began to rise rapidly, allowing him to break through directly from the early Qi Nourishing Realm to the late Qi Nourishing Realm.

This was not the end, but Mu Chen was in no hurry. He suppressed his final cultivation level at the peak of the Qi Nourishing Realm. It would not be too late to break through to the Heaven Pass Realm after returning to the Heaven Origin World.

"The Devouring Ancestral Symbol and the Space Ancestral Symbol do not test the physical body much. They mainly test one's soul and willpower. Symbols such as the Lightning Ancestral Symbol and the Flame Ancestral Symbol, however, place greater emphasis on testing the physical body," Mu Chen said slowly.

To master the Lightning Ancestral Symbol, one had to at least reach the Heavenly Sun Realm and possess a sufficiently powerful body.

If he tried it now, a single bolt of lightning would reduce Mu Chen to ashes, let alone more than one.

Now, aside from Devouring Qi, Mu Chen also possessed Space Qi in his Qi Mansion. It was likewise at the eighth-grade level. Just as he had expected, only after refining an Ancestral Symbol could one use the corresponding Source Qi in their Qi Mansion.

Two eighth-grade Source Qis. Ordinary people could only possess Source Qi of a single attribute. Only someone with a special Yin Yang Qi Mansion like Su Youwei could possess Source Qi of two attributes.

"An increase in cultivation is only one aspect. There are other benefits as well."

Mu Chen felt a swelling pain in the soul between his brows. By refining the Space Ancestral Symbol this time, his soul had advanced from the late stage to Great Perfection. With only a small opportunity, it could reach the Actual Realm. Yaoyao's current soul realm was probably already at the Actual Realm.

A soul at Void Realm Great Perfection, combined with a Third-grade Origin Pattern, could easily fight above one's level.

"Tut, tut, tut. Your soul improved too? Refining Ancestral Symbols has benefits like this?" Little Marten could not help clicking his tongue. Improving one's soul or spiritual power was far more difficult than increasing cultivation.

There were many people with powerful cultivation, but very few who developed their souls alongside it. That also depended on talent.

"How long has passed?" Mu Chen asked.

"Less than a day. It hasn't been long," Little Marten said.

Mu Chen nodded thoughtfully. He had felt as though an extremely long time had passed while he roamed through space. The power of space truly was profound and wondrous.

With a thought, subtle fluctuations appeared in the surrounding space. In an instant, Mu Chen arrived beside Tuntun. Once his compatibility with the Space Ancestral Symbol grew higher, even the spatial fluctuations should disappear when he traversed space.

"Roar?"

Mu Chen could see confusion on Tuntun's face. It was probably puzzled by his sudden appearance.

"I can now use the power of space for short-distance spatial traversal," Mu Chen said.

Tuntun nodded. This guy was truly strange. The Power of Space was absolutely not something a Qi Nourishing Realm Source Master like Mu Chen could wield. Still, it did not think too deeply about it; it had little to do with it anyway.

"Tuntun, I'll need your help later, so you'll have to work hard. I'll compensate you afterward," Mu Chen said.

Tuntun rubbed its belly. Since Mu Chen was its meal ticket, of course it had to help him out. Otherwise, it might have nothing to eat later.

Thus, Tuntun raised its little paw toward Mu Chen. Seeing this, Mu Chen gave Tuntun a high-five.
