The space inside the stone pillar was not large. Its main purpose was to prolong the existence of the Black-Eyed Elder's memory remnant so he could pass the Devouring Ancestral Symbol on to later generations.
It was understandable that the Black-Eyed Elder had left a seal on the Devouring Ancestral Symbol.
Ancestral Symbols were key to fighting the Alien Demon Clan. They could never fall into wicked hands. Besides, getting any Ancestral Symbol to acknowledge a master was difficult, and the Devouring Ancestral Symbol was especially so.
If anyone could attempt to refine it without restriction, they would only lose their lives. That would harm the world instead.
An unparalleled expert had once tried to refine the Flame Ancestral Symbol and been burned alive.
Refining an Ancestral Symbol required more than strength and talent. It also depended on an unseen affinity.
"After all these years, the fact that an expert like you has found this place means it is time for the Devouring Ancestral Symbol to see daylight again. So be it."
The Black-Eyed Elder's gaze shifted beyond the stone pillar's space, as though he were looking at someone else.
"Fellow Daoist, Ancestral Symbols are wonders formed by heaven and earth. They grant immense power, but they also carry their own responsibilities and—dangers."
"I do not know what the Heavenly Profound Continent is like today, but the danger that accompanies the Ancestral Symbols will surely return someday."
"You mean the Alien Demon Clan?" Qin Sheng asked directly.
The Supreme Purity Palace Master was startled. There was also the matter of the Alien Demon Clan?
The Supreme Purity Induction Art originated from a faction called the Taishang Palace. The Symbol Ancestor had been one of its members, and the Ancient Eight Masters could be counted as members too, more or less.
