A Fortune Beyond Measure, and the Flame Ancestral Talisman Was Truly Irresistible? A Heaven-Defying Opportunity Spanning a Thousand Years
"Emperor Yuan, how about our Flame God Hall joins the Nine Abyss Mansion as well?"
Moro rubbed his hands together, a slightly obsequious smile on his face, completely unlike the demeanor expected of a peak Wheel Turning Realm expert.
But it's not surprising that he reacted this way; anyone would react the same way if they were shocked by someone's wealth, even if it was just a small amount.
The information given by Zhang Yuan made Moro aware of the vastness of the world and that he was at a crucial moment in his cultivation.
He can follow the special path of the Reincarnation Realm created by the Symbol Ancestor, where his cultivation level will increase dramatically with each tribulation.
Alternatively, one can follow the true path of the Reincarnation Realm in this world, first undergoing Triple Reincarnation Tribulation before entering the cycle of reincarnation.
In the past, Moro would have chosen the former path, because he was determined to resist those Alien Demons, and the stronger he was, the better; he had to give up a more stable foundation.
But now, sensing the power of the Emperor Flame Seed Fire in multiple places between his brows, he already knew that Zhang Yuan had reached the realm of the former Symbol Ancestor, so there was no need to take himself too seriously. The path of the Ninth-Turn Reincarnation Realm was better.
When Zhang Yuan asked him for the Flame Ancestral Talisman, the prices he offered were: "One chance for Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation," "a glimpse into the Reincarnation Realm," "a Heavenly Flames imbued with the aura of the Emperor Flame," and "a custom-made divine artifact."
The opportunity to Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation would grant him soul power comparable to someone who has survived Triple Reincarnation Tribulation, and with his experience in tribulation, he could almost guarantee surviving the Triple Reincarnation Tribulation.
A single insight into the Reincarnation Realm can ensure that after he overcomes the Triple Reincarnation Tribulation, he will definitely be able to enter the Reincarnation Realm in the future.
A Heavenly Flames imbued with the aura of the Emperor Flame pointed him on the path to becoming Earthly Sovereign, and could serve as the inheritance of the Flame God Hall.
There is also a divine artifact tailor-made for him that can cause his cultivation to skyrocket upon entering the Reincarnation Realm.
He only needs to hand over the Flame Ancestral Talisman to become Reincarnation Realm expert and also give the Flame God Hall a legacy item.
Such a rare and wondrous object as the Flame Ancestral Talisman will choose its own master and undergo a trial; it is not something he can pass down.
In addition, Moro also knew about the Sovereign Dharma Body and the Dou Qi Continent, and was aware of the existence of the Flame God Dharma Body.
You have to find a big tree to lean on for shade!
"If you are willing to bring the Flame God Hall into the Nine Abyss Mansion, I will naturally welcome you." Zhang Yuan tossed a token to Moro: "If you are willing, I can make the Flame Lord Supreme Stage Guest Elder of your Flame God Hall."
He was called Supreme Stage Guest Elder, but in reality, it was just a nominal title to tell other factions, "This faction is under my protection."
Normally, the Flame Lord doesn't have to do anything and can still receive offerings from the Flame God Hall.
However, when the Flame God Hall expands outwards or encounters powerful enemies, it can use the name of the Flame Lord.
"Yes, I'd love to!" Moro felt as if he'd been hit by a pie from heaven.
The Flame Lord was the first Control realm of the Flame Ancestral Talisman after the Symbol Lord, a peak expert at the Third-Level Reincarnation Stage.
If the Flame God Hall could be associated with the Flame Lord in any way, it could be considered a direct descendant of the Talisman Lord, greatly enhancing its reputation.
In fact, Moro isn't such a pragmatic person. He's just a pure fanboy of the Symbol Ancestor. In this life, he admires the Symbol Ancestor, who saved the world, the most, Flame Lord the second most.
Zhang Yuan's "gift" was a real heart-wrenching moment for him.
"Emperor Yuan, take these things. If you don't know how to use them, just ask me. I will impart all my knowledge to you." Moro summoned the Flame Ancestral Talisman, directly clearing his own Soul Imprint, and handed it to Zhang Yuan with a pale face.
Flame Ancestral Talisman:?
I chose you, I trusted you, and you dare to abandon me?
I am the Flame Ancestral Talisman, one of the eight Ancestral Symbol of Heaven and Earth. How dare you choose a master for me?
"That's not necessary. I might need to spend a little more time getting familiar with the other Ancestral Symbol, but the Flame Ancestral Talisman doesn't require that." Zhang Yuan casually picked up the Flame Ancestral Talisman, and the dragon-shaped Thunder Pattern between his brows flickered.
The Flame Ancestral Talisman immediately trembled, trying to break free; after all, it was Ancestral Symbol with a spirit and a temper.
It was Moro that it chose, so why should Moro hand it over to Zhang Yuan?
However, the next moment, as the Dragon Phoenix Thunder Emperor Flame surged into its body, the Flame Ancestral Talisman stopped trembling.
The pure flame power at the Earthly Sovereign level is a level that even the Symbol Ancestor did not reach back then, not to mention that the Emperor Flame is tainted with a trace of the power of the Primal Dharma Body.
The Flame Ancestral Talisman felt an unparalleled affinity for the Emperor Flame, which was even purer and more perfect than the Flame Law of this world.
At the same time, the spirit of the Flame Ancestral Talisman also sensed Zhang Yuan's strength Nine-grade peak Sovereign.
It immediately stopped struggling, instead releasing the restraints and welcoming Zhang Yuan's brand.
It wasn't that it was abandoned by Moro, but rather that it chose to follow Zhang Yuan on its own.
Moro was the one who got abandoned.
"The fire rules of this world are not bad, but they are still far inferior to those of the Dou Qi Continent." Zhang Yuan carefully comprehended the situation and came to this conclusion, which did not surprise him.
The predecessor of the Dou Qi Continent was a super continent that nurtured one of the Ten Great Original Dharma Bodies. That Primal Dharma Body was also related to fire, and its laws regarding fire were undisputed to be the best in the entire Great Thousand World.
Even though the Dou Qi Continent has now fallen to Lower Plane, its fire-type laws still surpass those of all other Lower Plane. Emperor Flame, on the other hand, is a product of cultivating the Flame Mantra and is undergoing a transformation towards one of the Primal Dharma Body, aiming directly at the core of the Great Thousand World.
Before Emperor Flame, the Flame Ancestral Talisman is like Moro meeting the Flame Lord —a mere junior.
"?" Moro looked at the obedient, even somewhat excited, Flame Ancestral Talisman and felt like a clown.
At the same time, he also genuinely respected Zhang Yuan's character.
They were not from this world, yet they were willing to fight against the Alien Demons.
They had the power to forcibly seize the Flame Ancestral Talisman, yet now they're engaging in a fair trade with him.
Just look at the attitude of the Flame Ancestral Talisman; it doesn't even need to be suppressed with strength. It can be snatched away with just a little enticement.
"You're very familiar with the Thunder Emperor's territory, aren't you?" Zhang Yuan put away the Flame Ancestral Talisman and looked at Moro again.
"I do go there often." Moro nodded immediately. "The power founded by the Thunder Emperor was destroyed by the Alien Demons. I always felt that the Alien Demons were still hiding there, and I wanted to eradicate them completely, but I didn't find anything after several trips."
"The main problem is that my strength was still lacking in the past. I was somewhat inadequate to force my way through the formation set up by the Thunder Emperor, and I was also afraid of unleashing some Alien Demons."
Moro's idea was correct. The Thunder Emperor was indeed sealing a Alien Demons with an array. Although it was only comparable to the Reincarnation Realm, even if Moro had the Flame Ancestral Talisman, it would be difficult for him to kill it.
One wrong move, and even if you manage to save your own life, you could free a Alien Demons.
"Lead the way, I need to retrieve the Thunder Ancestral Talisman and, while I'm at it, revive the Thunder Emperor," Zhang Yuan said.
Moro's eyes widened in shock. "Can the Thunder Emperor be resurrected? Could it be that he has already reached the Reincarnation Realm?"
"No, not at all." Zhang Yuan shook his head with his hands behind his back. "Back then, the Demon King dared to lead an attack on the Thunder Realm created by the Thunder Emperor because he discovered that the Demon King was Reincarnation Tribulation."
"Once the Control realm the Ancestral Symbol successfully completes the Reincarnation Tribulation, they will be a nightmare for the Alien Demons, because ordinary powerful individuals may be able to defeat them, but it is difficult to kill them, while the Ancestral Symbol has the ability to annihilate them."
"Becoming the Control realm the Ancestral Symbol is the greatest opportunity in this world, but it is also the greatest responsibility and the greatest crisis."
The Black-Eyed Elder and the Thunder Emperor, among other powerful figures, were the ones the Alien Demons focused their attention on.
"If one were to undergo tribulation, even if the Thunder Emperor's cultivation level back then was exactly the same as yours now, he could still slay an ordinary Demon King. The Thunder Ancestral Talisman's domineering nature and its ability to restrain Alien Demons make it the foremost of the eight Ancestral Symbol."
As he explained, Zhang Yuan tore open space and arrived in the Heavenly Thunder Sea in the blink of an eye.
The Heavenly Thunder Sea is home to a force once established by the Thunder Emperor, now hidden in a cave.
Without the key to open the cave, even a powerful figure like Moro would need to go to great lengths to enter.
However, once inside, facing the unknown situation, he might not be able to protect himself, so he kept waiting for the cave to be opened so that he could enter in full force.
However, this so-called barrier was of no use to Zhang Yuan and was easily torn apart by him, allowing him to slip inside.
Upon entering the Thunderlight Battlefield, Zhang Yuan swept his gaze across it, casually annihilating all the Alien Demons auras. He then devoured the Thunderlight Battlefield, intending to use it as the foundation for a Battle Formation.
Recently, he has been studying formations with Qing Yanjing and has discovered that he has quite a talent for them, and has great potential in both Spirit Array and Battle Formation.
Moro: "."
He observed that the Thunderlight Battlefield was somewhat frenzied, and it would be very difficult to quell it.
In the end, they were simply dealt with by waving their hands in front of true powerhouses.
Zhang Yuan then continued forward and arrived outside the Thunder Hall in the blink of an eye.
Before their eyes stretched a vast, seemingly endless expanse of silver land, upon which streaks of lightning could be clearly seen, serpentine and transforming into a magnificent Thunder Sea, demonstrating the sheer intensity of the lightning power present.
However, for Zhang Yuan, who had cultivated in the Void Thunder Pool for a long time, this was nothing more than that; he was more concerned with...
The land of that Thunder Sea is covered with deep ravines, many of which are tens of thousands of feet long and bottomless, and have bizarre shapes. They are not naturally formed, but man-made.
"What happened here back then was truly terrifying!" Moro looked at the deep ravine that almost tore the earth apart, a look of shock flashing across his eyes. He somewhat understood what Zhang Yuan meant by the Thunder Ancestral Talisman's attack on the first stage.
Both the Thunder Emperor and that King-Class Alien Demon Being unleashed power far exceeding that of Ordinary Reincarnation Stage experts. However, the former was at the Wheel Turning Realm, having touched upon reincarnation, while the latter was merely equivalent to someone who had just entered reincarnation.
Zhang Yuan withdrew his gaze and looked at the sky above this land, where countless Lei Yun floated, containing a vast fluctuation, all enveloped by the violent lightning.
Zhang Yuan led Moro forward, where they could see streaks of lightning flashing through the clouds like snakes, and at the very center stood a magnificent, indescribably grand palace of lightning.
Its ancient and majestic presence is awe-inspiring.
"This Thunder Hall is quite extraordinary; it can serve as my future palace."
Zhang Yuan found Thunder Emperor's talent for building palaces very appealing.
The Nine Heavens of the Ancient Void Realm were his residence, and he always traveled alone, which lacked a certain grandeur.
Once Feng Qing'er is strong enough, she can indeed rise above the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Royal Clan, but she will lack a certain domineering presence on the battlefield.
We could capture some exotic beasts to pull the Thunder Hall forward; that would be quite impressive!
"So this is the Thunder Hall!" Moro's lips trembled with bitterness.
Both being beings who have reached the Reincarnation Realm and both being Control realm of Ancestral Symbol, why does my Flame God Hall seem so much inferior to the Thunder Emperor Hall?
Zhang Yuan looked at him and smiled, "You were chosen by the Flame Ancestral Talisman simply because you were qualified, while the Thunder Emperor was able to obtain the Thunder Ancestral Talisman because he stood out from all the qualified people."
"Otherwise, how dare he so arrogantly declare himself emperor?"
The Thunder Lord was born earlier than the Thunder Emperor; otherwise, the latter might have been accepted as a disciple by the Symbol Ancestor.
Even among those who Control realm the same Devouring Ancestral Talisman, there are still differences in their levels of power.
For example, he Control realm the Dragon Phoenix Thunder Emperor Flame, and his Control realm over the Primordial Talisman, Thunder Ancestral Talisman, and Flame Ancestral Talisman will surpass that of the Symbol Ancestor.
Having both the Thunder God Visualization Diagram and the Thunder God Dharma Body, the Ancestral Symbol he desired most was this Thunder Ancestral Talisman.
Let's go!
Zhang Yuan led the somewhat disheartened Moro forward, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived before the colossal palace above the Lei Yun.
Here, three figures, shrouded in silver light, floated, their bodies surging with boundless black energy. The evil permeating the energy caused Moro to change color.
This is equivalent to three puppets at the Great Perfection of the Death Profound Realm, which would be comparable to a Seven-Star Dou Zun in the Dou Qi Continent.
Instead of destroying them, Zhang Yuan took out the Ancestral Stone, purified the black energy within the puppets, and then allowed the spirits sealed by the black energy to enter reincarnation before finally storing the puppets in the Thunderlight Battlefield.
After doing all this, Zhang Yuan entered the open Thunder Hall, where he was greeted by an extremely ancient atmosphere.
The first thing that catches the eye is a maze of intersecting, giant passageways, with many stone doors on either side tightly shut, and no one knows what lies behind them.
The Thunder Ancestral Talisman and the remnant soul of the Thunder Emperor are in the Thunder Realm, and the entrance to the Thunder Realm is inside the main hall of the Thunder Hall Master, both places that Zhang Yuan can reach in one step.
Time and space shifted, and a ten-thousand-step jade staircase appeared before them. At the end of the staircase was a magnificent silver palace, seemingly capable of suppressing all evil spirits in the world.
This is the Hall Master!
Zhang Yuan led Moro into the silver palace.
The interior is extremely vast, spanning tens of thousands of feet in circumference, magnificent and imposing, making people feel like ants within it.
Inside this grand hall, there are rows of enormous stone pillars, with clusters of light enveloped in lightning floating atop them. Zhang Yuan could easily see the scrolls and weapons placed within them, thanks to his keen eyesight.
These things, at the very least, are spiritual treasures and Spiritual Martial Arts, likely treasures collected by the Thunder Emperor.
Without hesitation, Zhang Yuan waved his hand and packed everything up to take away, leaving Moro visibly envious.
If these things were given to him, the Flame God Hall's resources would at least double.
Did Zhang Yuan bring him here just so he could be envious?
"The Thunder Emperor's Scepter, is it?"
At the deepest part of the main hall stood a colossal stone statue over a hundred feet tall, seated on a throne, clad in battle robes, with a majestic face and radiating an extremely frenzied and terrifying aura.
The stone statue's eyes shone like silver, seemingly concealing a world of thunder, the very entrance to the Thunder Realm.
Zhang Yuan raised his hand and drew a silver scepter from the right side of the stone statue into his hand. Lightning flowed down from it, making it dazzling and powerful.
"The materials are good. If I refine them again, they can become a decent Thunder Quasi-Sacred Weapon." Zhang Yuan's eyes were extremely satisfied as he placed the Thunder Emperor's Scepter under his hand.
Sacred Artifact are things that even the Earthly Sovereign would covet. If the Eight Ancestral Symbols were combined into a weapon, it would definitely be a Sacred Artifact artifact, a primordial Sacred Artifact, and of a high level.
This Thunder Emperor's Scepter is made of extraordinary materials; with enough added materials, it could become Quasi-Sacred Artifact.
"Last Stand."
Zhang Yuan led Moro into the Thunder Realm.
Boom!
A blinding, brilliant silver light filled the air, accompanied by continuous thunderous roars, carrying an indescribable oppressive force.
A vast, seemingly endless space was filled with dazzling lightning, which transformed into countless colossal Ancient Thunder Dragon, roaring and flashing throughout the space.
"The Thunder Emperor Thunder Realm created by the Thunder Ancestral Talisman and abundant resources by the Thunder Emperor is indeed extraordinary."
Even though Zhang Yuan had many good things in his possession, he was full of praise for this Thunder Realm, which was another world that could be integrated into the Ancient Void Realm.
A single bolt of lightning from the Thunder Realm could obliterate Death Profound Realm, comparable to a late-stage Dou Zun, into dust.
"Emperor Yuan, the Alien Demons that attacked Lei Mansion back then was a King-Class Alien Demon and three General-Class Alien Demon. The three General-Class Alien Demon have already been killed by Thunder Emperor, and the King-Class Alien Demon should have been sealed away," Moro said.
Zhang Yuan was naturally aware of this situation.
He didn't speak, but instead, like an incarnation of a thunder king, he naturally moved through the Thunder Sea.
He didn't use any supernatural powers, he simply moved with the power of lightning, yet it was as if he were teleporting, and he continued to travel to the depths of the Thunder Realm, where he saw a Thunder Lava Sea.
The Thunder Lava Sea is vast and boundless, where lightning transforms into waves, each wave a silver bolt of lightning, awe-inspiring and terrifying to the soul.
In the very center of the Thunder Lava Sea, there is a silver altar that can only be reached by climbing ten thousand thunderous ladders. The most important part of the altar is a throne.
The space around the throne distorted, and lightning appeared everywhere.
A figure sat upright on the throne.
A thousand feet directly above the figure, a massive ball of lightning, thousands of feet high, resembled a sun formed from condensed thunder.
Within the Thunder Sun is an Ancestral Symbol.
Thunder Ancestral Talisman!
"Tsk, another power accumulated over a thousand years."
"Moreover, it's the power of thunder condensed from the Thunder Ancestral Talisman."
"If I can devour this entire place, then I can take that step."
