Gu Mo was fairly serious when it came to getting things done. After he agreed,
the next moment, a gray triangular eye appeared between his brows.
As soon as the gray eye appeared, the space around him twisted almost abruptly, and an extremely terrifying destructive fluctuation spread wildly outward.
"Break!"
A thick gray beam, brimming with destructive fluctuations, immediately shot straight toward the Great Desolate Ancient Tablet.
At the same time, Fang Yi rubbed Jiang Yinyin's hair and said, "Will you wait here for me to come out, junior sister?"
He didn't want to bring Jiang Yinyin to meet the Black-Eyed Elder, lest something unforeseen happen. Besides, it wasn't time for Jiang Yinyin to awaken yet.
He didn't know whether the Qi of the Lord of Life and Death's awakening would alert the Yimo. It was better to go back and discuss it with the old man first.
"Okay! Be careful, senior brother."
Jiang Yinyin let go of Fang Yi's hand and nodded obediently. Fang Yi turned into a streak of five-colored light and followed the gray beam.
The gray beam collided with the seal surrounding the Great Desolate Ancient Tablet in an instant.
Bang!
At the moment of impact, there was no earthshaking roar. The gray beam pierced straight through the seal with the speed of a force crushing dry weeds and rotten wood.
A huge hole appeared in the rune-covered seal that had surrounded the Great Desolate Ancient Tablet.
Buzz, buzz, buzz...
The Great Desolate Ancient Tablet seemed to have been roused, causing the entire Great Desolate Ancient Plain to shake wildly.
Some martial artists who had remained there saw a gigantic hole suddenly appear in the seal surrounding the towering Great Desolate Ancient Tablet.
"How did someone break the Great Desolate Ancient Tablet's seal?!"
"Hurry and notify the sect! Could something have happened to the Great Desolate Ancient Tablet? Go tell the sect master. We can't let anyone else get there first!"
Just then, they saw a figure enter through the hole.
"Who was that?"
As soon as the figure entered, everyone saw the hole disappear, and the seal returned to its rune-covered state.
"Someone beat us to it!"
The vast, desolate land was utterly silent, an ancient, weathered feeling spreading across it.
Fang Yi descended from the sky. The feeling here was much like that of the Great Desolation Tablet, though the power of desolation contained in this space was even stronger.
"The power in here is stronger than in the Great Desolation Tablet. But I suppose that's only natural."
Fang Yi thought it over.
Although the Great Desolation Tablet was a divine object, only the Tablet Spirit maintained it from within, and it was also suppressing a Yimo True King who had undergone two Reincarnation Tribulations.
This place, on the other hand, had been formed from the power of two Samsara Stage experts-or even Reincarnation Stage experts-along with all the disciples and elders of the Great Desolate Sect.
The Ninth King Hall suppressed here had probably been injured before being suppressed, and the Devouring Ancestral Symbol had also helped suppress it in the past.
Naturally, the power of desolation here was stronger.
Fang Yi turned into a streak of light and headed toward the center of the Ancient Tablet Space. He swept his gaze over the area from time to time, spotting some demonic beasts descended from ancient species roaming about.
He nodded inwardly. It seemed the Great Desolate Sect had undertaken quite a grand endeavor back then. This was not merely a great formation; it also contained Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed, having taken the most central region of the Great Desolate Sect into the Great Desolate Ancient Tablet.
"Intruder! Kill!!"
Just then,
a figure burst out with a roar.
Fang Yi's expression remained unchanged. With a casual wave of his hand, the five elements revolved and instantly formed a Five Elements Divine Mountain, which came crashing down in suppression.
The guardian, capable of battling someone in the Nirvana Realm, was instantly suppressed without the slightest ability to resist.
Even an ordinary Nirvana Realm expert could contend with it, let alone Fang Yi.
"Since your resolve to protect your sect remains unchanged, I'll release you after I've finished what I came to do."
Fang Yi did not wipe it out-or rather, it was difficult to wipe out. This fellow had been formed from the many lingering wills of the Great Desolate Sect left here. Even if he wiped it out,
it would appear again, so there was no need.
Fang Yi then continued flying and eventually found the Talisman Puppet Nest. There were High-Grade Talisman Puppets inside, but Fang Yi merely glanced at them and couldn't be bothered to pay them any attention.
They were all trash.
He descended straight down, passed through the frigid wind, and finally reached his destination.
A Black Altar stood there, cold and dark as if cast from black iron, with numerous stone pillars atop it.
He could sense the vast power here. The Great Desolate Ancient Tablet had two formation nodes: one was the Creation Martial Tablet, and the other was here.
"A formation within a formation. The Black-Eyed Elder really is impressive. No wonder he earned the Devouring Ancestral Symbol's recognition."
Fang Yi extended his Mental Energy.
Although he was not yet capable of using his Mental Energy to directly condense the Tower of Great Space and suppress boundless space,
it had made him exceptionally sensitive to spatial forces. He sensed a spatial fluctuation emanating from the pillar.
That meant there was another space behind it.
Then,
as soon as Fang Yi's Mental Energy touched the stone pillar,
the pillar repelled it.
Fang Yi shook his head. He could only say that Lin Dong's earning the Black-Eyed Elder's recognition had truly been ordained by fate.
The method of forming Symbol Seals that he had casually obtained before had actually been derived from comprehending the Devouring Ancestral Symbol.
Otherwise, even a Heavenly Symbol Master would have found it difficult to enter the formation where the Black-Eyed Elder resided.
But that was only true for others.
For him, there was nothing that could stop him yet!
"Great Space!"
In an instant,
Fang Yi's terrifying Mental Energy as a Heavenly Symbol Master spread out. The profundities of space flowed faintly within it. This was the Dao of Great Space from the Two Scriptures of Space and Time.
It was also the Dao of space.
A vortex appeared on the enormous black pillar. Fang Yi had used his Heavenly Talisman to forcibly construct a spatial passage.
Fang Yi immediately darted into it. A moment later, he appeared on a vast wasteland that exuded an incomparably ancient presence.
Within Fang Yi's field of vision stood a gigantic Black Stone Pillar.
As he approached, Fang Yi noticed a figure sitting cross-legged atop the pillar: a white-haired old man dressed in black robes.
"Fang Yi, a junior of the Dao Sect, greets Senior Black Eyes!"
On the wasteland,
a gentle breeze had begun to stir at some point, lifting the mysterious elder's white hair. After hearing Fang Yi's words, he slowly opened his tightly shut eyes.
Boom!
The instant the elder opened his eyes,
the entire space fell silent. The old man's eyes had no whites, only a pair of Black Eyes, dark and deep as black holes.
"To think that, after so many years, someone still knows of my existence. Little fellow, forcing your way into the Great Desolate Ancient Tablet was one thing, but you even forced your way in here."
"Could it be that sects in later generations all act so overbearingly?"
Black Eyes looked at Fang Yi. Although he was only a remnant of power and could not control the Great Desolate Ancient Tablet, he could sense everything in the Ancient Tablet Space.
"I simply couldn't wait for the Great Desolate Ancient Tablet to open. If I've disturbed you, senior, please be forgiving."
Fang Yi spoke calmly.
"What have you come for? If it's the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, give up on it. You aren't suited to it, and you have your own path. Your Heavenly Talisman..."
The Black-Eyed Elder seemed to be examining Fang Yi by some means. Somewhat astonished, he said, "This power is no less than that of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol. To you, the Devouring Ancestral Symbol isn't all that important."
Fang Yi smiled. "Naturally, I know that. It's just that the Devouring Ancestral Symbol is a Heaven and Earth Divine Object, and naturally possesses wondrous properties. I'd like to borrow it for contemplation."
"Besides, I promised the Tablet Spirit of the Great Desolation Tablet that I'd bring him an Ancestral Talisman to look at, so he'd stop nagging..."
