Robe-Clad Old Man, Great Desolate Upheaval

"Buzz buzz!!"

Countless array patterns scattered across the earth emitted faint glows in unison. Immediately afterward, a massive spirit array took shape on the land.

Under the blessing of this immense spirit array, the previously shattered earth began to heal continuously. Before long, the land was once again a complete expanse, though it was vastly different from its previous appearance.

After completing all of this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. With this great array in place, the Otherworldly Demon Qi from underground should be unable to break through for a short time. After all, the Nine Kings Hall had only just revived, and its strength had only recovered a little before a doppelganger was beheaded. It would have to lie low for a while.

Lin Dong, who was beside him, watched the formation of such a massive spirit array in Lin Xuan's hands with a look of amazement in his eyes. He had originally thought that Lin Xuan only knew Swordplay, but now it seemed that he was also extremely proficient in Sword Arrays. He had foolishly believed Lin Xuan's words that he only knew some crude and rudimentary arrays and hadn't even entered the door.

After Lin Xuan withdrew his hand, Lin Dong also put away the Ancestral Stone. He didn't know if it was Lin Dong's illusion, but he always felt that after the Ancestral Stone swallowed that demonic armor, it seemed to have more spiritual energy.

"It's best not to expose the Ancestral Stone and Ancestor Symbol on your body."

Lin Xuan glanced at Lin Dong, paused for a moment, and then, for the sake of the Black Eyes, softly reminded him. The Otherworldly Demons were searching the entire world for such things, trying to find ways to eliminate them.

"Young Clan Leader, rest assured, Lin Dong understands!"

Even if Lin Xuan didn't say it, Little Marten would remind him. Even if no one reminded him, Lin Dong himself understood that this was to the extent that even Reincarnation Realm experts couldn't wait to personally eliminate him. Not to mention personally taking action, even a doppelganger with extremely weak strength was not something Lin Dong could deal with.

Lin Dong didn't think that he had Lin Xuan's strength, to be able to directly kill a doppelganger of a Reincarnation Realm expert when he was in the Nirvana Realm.

"By the way, is Young Clan Leader going directly back to the clan next?"

Lin Xuan shook his head slightly upon hearing this, glanced at Lin Dong, and said softly.

"I still need to go into seclusion to heal my injuries for a period of time. Moreover, the Otherworldly Demons have always been cunning. If the Nine Kings Hall takes the opportunity to feign defeat and takes advantage of my relaxation to break the seal again after I leave, and demonize the Great Desolate Province, I'm afraid the Eastern Xuan Region will be plunged into misery."

Lin Dong nodded slightly upon hearing this. Facing this kind of demonic creature that had been sealed for thousands of years and still hadn't died, he indeed needed to be more cautious. However, Lin Xuan's next words changed Lin Dong's expression.

"After my injuries have healed, I still need to come here again to observe whether the Nine Kings Hall has any movements. It's best to use the power of the Devouring Ancestor Symbol to reinforce the sealing spirit array again. Therefore, you need to find the Devouring Ancestor Symbol as soon as possible and refine it."

Little Marten looked at the calm-faced Lin Xuan and suddenly couldn't help but shudder. This guy was being too cautious, wasn't he?

This situation was completely no less than the kind where, after killing an opponent, he would cremate their corpse and instantly scatter their ashes. After doing all of this, he still felt it wasn't safe enough, and then he created a great array that combined sealing and obliterating the Nascent Soul and soul to prevent the opponent from being resurrected.

Fortunately, Lin Dong was his little lackey, and he was following Lin Dong, so he wouldn't become an enemy. Otherwise, Little Marten felt that he would have to sleep with one eye open in the future.

This guy was simply a pervert, this was too ruthless!

As Lin Xuan and the others left, the entire Great Desolate Ancient Tablet once again fell into silence. Only the new ground that seemed to have been plowed over once again indicated that some major changes had taken place here.

And this tranquility was once again broken after several months.

A spatial rift appeared again, and then, a Robe-Clad Old Man squeezed in from the spatial rift in a slightly disheveled manner.

"That damned fellow actually reinforced the seal here, almost preventing this old man from entering!"

After muttering a curse, the Robe-Clad Old Man's expression suddenly changed. The powerful aura of the Nirvana Realm was instantly released, and he stared warily at his surroundings.

After a while, seeing that there didn't seem to be any major movements around him, the Robe-Clad Old Man carefully examined this vast and silent land.

Immediately afterward, his brows furrowed once again. The Robe-Clad Old Man looked down at the land that had been almost completely turned over, as well as many of the overturned mountain peaks, and his expression became astonished.

"What exactly happened here? Not only has the earth been turned over, but there is also an extremely powerful aura remaining in the space, Sword Qi, the power of heavenly lightning, and an extremely strange and evil aura. Could it be that a great demon has been born here?"

With a look of suspicion and uncertainty, the Robe-Clad Old Man scanned this land, flying deeper while looking around, sensing the powerful aura remaining in the space, trying to guess what kind of earth-shattering battle had taken place here.

Suddenly, the Robe-Clad Old Man's gaze froze, and he looked at the Ancient Tablet. On that stone tablet, extremely sharp Sword Qi still remained in the newly carved Sword marks. That huge 'Sword' character exuded an astonishing Sword Intent.

Clearly, the person who left the inscription was definitely someone with an extremely profound understanding of Swordplay.

At this moment, the Robe-Clad Old Man's expression suddenly changed, his gaze shifting from the stone tablet downwards, landing on the mysterious skeleton sitting with its back against the stone tablet, a sense of crisis suddenly rising in his heart.

"Boom!"

Under the Robe-Clad Old Man's gaze, the eyes of the grayish-white mysterious skeleton instantly lit up with two beams of light. The next moment, the mysterious skeleton suddenly stood up, an aura comparable to the Five Yuan Nirvana Realm rising from its body.

At this moment, the Robe-Clad Old Man's attention was drawn to the sword marks all over the mysterious skeleton.

The Robe-Clad Old Man, after all, came from a super sect, and his knowledge was naturally extraordinary. He could tell at a glance that the mysterious skeleton's strength before death could definitely reach the Life and Death Profound Realm; otherwise, it would not possess such powerful strength even after death.

But even with the mysterious skeleton's such powerful strength and physical body, it had been forcibly left with so many sword marks. How terrifying was the strength of the person who wielded the Sword?

"Roar!"

The Robe-Clad Old Man's attention was diverted, but the mysterious skeleton was not. After locking onto the Robe-Clad Old Man, the mysterious skeleton instantly erupted, directly attacking the Robe-Clad Old Man.

The grayish-white bone fist tore through space, slamming fiercely towards the Robe-Clad Old Man. Startled, the Robe-Clad Old Man was unwilling to be outdone, directly urging his Origin Power to exchange a punch.

"Boom!"

The violent power instantly exploded, directly sending the Robe-Clad Old Man flying backward.

The Robe-Clad Old Man's expression couldn't help but change. The mysterious skeleton's strength was even stronger than he had anticipated. The terrifying power that came entirely from the skeleton was simply terrifying.

If its power was already so terrifying, then how strong was the person who left the sword marks on its body in the first place?

Hiss!

Thinking of this, the Robe-Clad Old Man couldn't help but gasp. He was already so strained just exchanging a single punch, yet that person was able to forcefully leave sword marks on the mysterious skeleton. Their strength was definitely not something he could contend with.

"Forget it, it seems that this Devouring Ancestor Symbol is not fated for me!"

The Robe-Clad Old Man muttered to himself, then stopped hesitating and turned to flee. There was no point in staying here any longer; it was better to just run.

With great difficulty, under the entanglement of the mysterious skeleton, he found an opportunity to break through the seal of the Ancient Tablet space. Before the Robe-Clad Old Man could even breathe a sigh of relief, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Because a white-clothed, white-haired figure appeared before him. The aura emanating from the other person was something the Robe-Clad Old Man couldn't see through at all.

After swallowing, the Robe-Clad Old Man reached out and pinched a distress talisman, but before he could make any move, he heard a cold voice ring out.

"You can try whether you crush the talisman faster, or the Sword is faster!"

The next moment, the Robe-Clad Old Man looked at the tip of the pitch-black, bladeless Sword pressed against his forehead, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, and he said in a trembling voice.

"Your Excellency, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I am an Attendant of the Nine Heavens Great Purity Palace, here only to carry out orders... carry out orders..."

The Robe-Clad Old Man muttered to himself, staring blankly at the light flowing on the tip of the Sword before him, his mouth unconsciously widening.

"How is this possible? How is this possible? Could it be that this is really the legendary Supreme Force?"

"You recognize it?"

A calm voice echoed in his ears. Immediately afterward, the Robe-Clad Old Man only felt a sudden flash before his eyes. Looking again, the pitch-black Sword body that had completely blocked the light had already been returned to its Sword Sheath.

After swallowing again, the Robe-Clad Old Man couldn't help but chuckle and explained softly.

"Although the disciples of the Nine Heavens Great Purity Palace have not seen the Supreme Force, they all have some understanding of it, so they can recognize it at a glance."

This is the most orthodox inheritance of the Nine Heavens Great Purity Palace Master's lineage. The disciples of the Nine Heavens Great Purity Palace are naturally familiar with it because, for a long time, the Nine Heavens Great Purity Palace has had an unwritten rule: as long as one comprehends the Supreme Force, they can directly take charge of the Palace Master's authority.

This arrangement is also to prevent accidents, and the Supreme Induction Sutra has always been qualified to be cultivated only by the core disciples of the Palace Master's lineage, so it can stabilize the overall situation at a critical moment.

However, the Supreme Induction Sutra has never been passed to outsiders...

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, the Robe-Clad Old Man's eyes widened instantly, because he remembered that after the Palace Master and the Young Palace Master returned from their trip, they issued an order in the palace, which seemed to be to pass the Supreme Induction Sutra to someone outside the sect.

After all, the Supreme Induction Sutra is the unpassed secret of the Nine Heavens Great Purity Palace. If it is discovered by others, the disciples of the Nine Heavens Great Purity Palace will definitely hunt them down to the end. If they don't say it, the Nine Heavens Great Purity Palace Master is afraid of misunderstandings.

Not only that, it is said that the Young Palace Master was once defeated by that person. His talent is unparalleled, and he even refused the Palace Master's acceptance as a disciple. In the end, the Palace Master had a heart of cherishing talent and made an exception to pass down the Supreme Induction Sutra.

It is said that the person who defeated the Young Palace Master with three swords in the same realm is known as—the Sword Saint!

"May I know your name, sir?"

The Robe-Clad Old Man looked at the otherworldly white-clothed youth in front of him, took the initiative to raise his hand and clasp his fist in a salute, and asked softly.

"Lin Xuan!"

Lin Xuan responded softly. He was originally in seclusion in the Profound Yin Mountain Range of the Great Desolate Province to recuperate. The Profound Yin Qi there was rich, which was an excellent place for Lin Xuan, whose soul was injured, to recover.

Humans are composed of Yin and Yang Qi. The physique is mainly Yang Qi, while the soul is more Yin Qi.

During this period of time, Lin Xuan, who was focused on recuperating, was almost healed from his injuries. However, not long ago, Lin Xuan sensed that someone had broken the seal of the Great Desolate Ancient Tablet and forcibly entered it, so he interrupted his seclusion and rushed over directly.

After hearing these two words, the Robe-Clad Old Man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and quickly responded with a smile.

"So it's Sword Saint in person, this old man is being polite!"

"If there's nothing else, leave this place!"

After Lin Xuan left a sentence, he left directly. The Robe-Clad Old Man looked at Lin Xuan's departing back, smiled bitterly, shook his head, and left directly.

In the Robe-Clad Old Man's opinion, with Lin Xuan around, that Devouring Ancestor Symbol was naturally out of his reach. He had just made a trip in vain, not only rushing all the way but also almost losing his life.

Lin Xuan, who returned to the Profound Yin Mountain Range again, did not know that during his seclusion, the entire Great Desolate Province could be said to have undergone tremendous changes.

Teng Lei's Death made the Yin Puppet Sect furious, but deterred by Lin Xuan's power, they did not dare to act for a while. So, Teng Sha held some kind of conference, preparing to show off his power and then unify the entire Great Desolate Province.

But no one expected that while Teng Sha was busy, the Great Demon Gate actually stole his home and got together with Lin Dong.

To be precise, Mu Qianqian of the Great Demon Gate directly used the Great Demon Gate as a dowry and got engaged to Lin Dong, marrying into the Lin Family.

In addition, Lin Dong's strength skyrocketed, and with the help of the Great Demon Gate, and backed by the Lin Clan, in this way, at the conference that Teng Sha had carefully prepared for himself, the Martial Alliance directly sided with Lin Dong. The Martial Alliance and the Great Demon Gate joined forces, coupled with Lin Dong's own strength and that High-Level Puppet Talisman, directly and forcefully leveled the Yin Puppet Sect.

The Yin Puppet Sect was destroyed. After Lin Dong obtained the Devouring Ancestor Symbol, he went into seclusion for several months, and his strength greatly improved, directly breaking through to the realm of a High-Level Spirit Symbol Master, directly becoming the strongest in the Great Desolate Province.

Just when many people thought that Lin Dong was going to unify the Great Desolate Province, Lin Dong suddenly became quiet. Even the Great Demon Gate did not move, but instead focused on preparing for the wedding of Lin Dong and Mu Qianqian.

In Yin Puppet City, Lin Dong looked at the bright red invitation card in his hand, and a look of hesitation appeared on his face.

"Little Marten, do you think it would disturb Young Clan Leader's recovery if I go to send him an invitation?"

"You kid, why are you so indecisive? Just go and send it. Besides, you kid has refined the Devouring Ancestor Symbol, so you have to tell the Sword Saint. Didn't he say that he would use the Ancestor Symbol to reinforce the seal again?"

If he were an enemy, Lin Xuan was indeed scary, not giving any chance, but as a member of the same camp, especially Lin Dong and Little Marten, who were constantly facing the threat of Otherworldly Demons, were extremely at ease.

At least, they don't have to worry all day long about a top expert of the Reincarnation Realm running out of the Ancient Tablet to make trouble for them.
