Great Desolate Tablet Appears

Back in Dao Sect, Lin Xuan stayed on Dao Peak to recuperate. To his surprise, Ying Huanhuan also came to Dao Peak to recover.

"Dong! Dong!"

The melodious sound of the zither echoed once again on Dao Peak. Countless spiritual birds circled around Dao Peak, chirping from time to time, as if echoing the zither music.

Ying Huanhuan, who had rarely changed into a crimson phoenix-patterned dress, sat by the desk, propping her head with one hand, looking at the elegant and refined face, a faint smile always on her face.

"Dong!"

Under Ying Huanhuan's gaze, after the last note jumped from his fingertip, Lin Xuan slowly raised his hand, turned his head slightly to look at Ying Huanhuan, and said softly.

"Miss Huanhuan, how is this tune?"

"It sounds very nice, hee hee, how about you teach me to play the zither in the future? What do you think?"

The girl's bright eyes sparkled with a hint of a smile, staring intently at Lin Xuan. After a moment of eye contact, Lin Xuan took the initiative to look away, then stood up and said softly.

"Miss Huanhuan's Zither Skill is above mine. It is only right that Lin Xuan should ask the lady for guidance."

With that, Lin Xuan stopped dwelling on the topic with Ying Huanhuan and strode out of Dao Peak. The smile on Ying Huanhuan's face behind him grew even wider. She even reached out and gently clenched her fist at Lin Xuan's back, as if saying that he could not escape her grasp.

After making this gesture, Ying Huanhuan followed, skipping and jumping, heading towards the Desolate Hall with a look of joy.

Because today was the day when the Great Desolate Tablet of the Desolate Hall appeared. Every time this happened, countless Dao Sect disciples would rush to the Desolate Hall, one to catch a glimpse of the true form of the Great Desolate Tablet, and the other to see if anyone could obtain the legendary Great Desolate Scripture.

After all, the Great Desolate Scripture was known as the number one scripture of the Dao Sect's four halls. Moreover, Zhou Tong, a hundred years ago, relied on this martial art to defeat three elders of Yuan Gate, a feat that could be described as exaggerated, making the name of the Great Desolate Scripture even more prominent.

Not to mention that this time, Dao Sect had produced a figure who was countless times more monstrous than Zhou Tong back then. Even within Dao Sect, some people described him as—Sword Saint, the Zhou Tong among Zhou Tongs!

Although this was not entirely appropriate, it was enough to illustrate the height of the Sword Saint in the hearts of countless Dao Sect disciples. If Zhou Tong of the past could obtain the Great Desolate Scripture, there was no reason why the current Sword Saint could not.

Deep within the Desolate Hall of Dao Sect, on a very large and extremely desolate mountain peak, countless Dao Sect disciples had already gathered. Not only were there direct disciples of the four halls such as Ying Xiaoxiao, Lin Dong, and Qing Ye, but even the eight hall masters of the four halls were gathered here.

Moreover, in the distant sky, streams of light flew over. Obviously, not many Dao Sect disciples were willing to miss such a grand event. The scene of the Great Desolate Tablet appearing could be seen more than once, but the scene of the Great Desolate Scripture appearing might be missed this time, and never seen again.

Above the mountain peak, a huge Nirvana Pill River roared past. However, the Nirvana Pill River, which used to flow continuously, was quite strange today. Not only had the speed of the surge slowed down a lot, but even a huge amount of Nirvana energy was pouring out towards the bottom of the mountain, forming a huge vortex, like a giant abyss.

In the distance, Lin Dong, who was fighting with Ying Xiaoxiao, Qing Ye, and other chief disciples of the other three halls, couldn't help but flash a look of amazement in his eyes as he watched this shocking scene.

Back then, he was just a country boy from a small Yan City. When had he ever seen such a magnificent scene? Back then, in the Ancient Battlefield, he searched everywhere for Nirvana Pills in order to break through to the Nirvana Realm.

"Kid, shocked, aren't you? Hehe, this is nothing. When you break through to the Reincarnation Realm, you can set up a formation with a wave of your hand and attract a huge Nirvana Pill River, which is much more spectacular than this!"

Yan's rather excited voice sounded in Lin Dong's heart. Obviously, the upcoming meeting with an old friend, and even being able to mock him fiercely, made Yan, who had always prided himself on being calm, couldn't help but get excited.

Having been together for so long, Lin Dong naturally understood what Yan was thinking. He had even thought about it. When Yan and the Great Desolate Tablet met, he would directly throw Yan to the Young Clan Leader or the Ice Master, and try not to get involved in the struggle between Yan and the Great Desolate Tablet. Little Marten taught him this, and it was said that Senior Zhou Tong had specifically instructed him to do so.

"Yan, do you think we can get rid of the Otherworldly Demon in the Great Desolate Tablet?"

Thinking of the Otherworldly Demon suppressed in the Great Desolate Tablet, Lin Dong couldn't help but feel a little nervous. That was an Otherworldly Demon King in its prime, comparable to one who had passed through two Reincarnation Tribulations, not much weaker than the Nine Kings Hall!

"You kid, what are you being cowardly for? Anyway, the Sword Saint will be at the front at that time, and he will bear all the pressure. After all, if you want to abduct our Ice Master, how can you do it without some extraordinary skills?"

Yan chuckled strangely. That was a peerless goddess who even the Devouring Master dared not pursue for fear of being beaten, and the Flame Master shied away from. Lin Dong couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this. That extraordinary skill was probably for the Ancient Eight Rulers, right?

"Besides, he also has the Space Ancestor Symbol on him. With the power of the two Ancestor Symbols, even if he can't completely eliminate that Otherworldly Demon this time, it will be enough for that little brat to suffer. When the time comes, he can just call the Darkness Ancestor Symbol controller over as well. Anyway, I will also have to help him nourish the Scythe Spirit of the Darkness Scythe."

"Okay!"

Lin Dong's expression also relaxed. At least this time, there shouldn't be any problems. Even if they couldn't solve the trouble, they definitely wouldn't create any, and that was enough.

As for the Great Desolate Scripture, Lin Dong wasn't worried at all. With Yan around, he should be able to learn the Great Desolate Scripture. As for the Young Clan Leader, there was even less to worry about. According to Yan, the Great Desolate Scripture would probably beg him to learn it, but he wouldn't.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Just then, two streams of light flashed by, then transformed into two figures, one white and one red, stopping in front of Ying Xiaoxiao, Lin Dong, and the others.

"Eldest Brother!"

Seeing Lin Xuan and Ying Huanhuan appear, Ying Xiaoxiao, Lin Dong, and many Dao Sect disciples shouted in unison. Lin Xuan nodded slightly in response.

Standing beside Lin Dong and Ying Xiaoxiao, Qing Ye glanced at Lin Xuan and Ying Huanhuan, who was standing close to Lin Xuan, with a complicated expression, then slowly shook his head, extinguishing the trace of longing in his heart.

That was the Sword Saint, the Sword Saint whose brilliance made all geniuses pale in comparison, the number one genius in Tianxuan Continent from ancient times to the present!

This was the best of times, and the worst of times, because this era had produced a figure who made all the geniuses in the world lose their luster. His existence destined this era to be incomparably dazzling, but his existence overshadowed the brilliance of all the geniuses of the same era.

Lin Dong, could be considered a genius, right? Ying Huanhuan, what a genius? But in front of that person, they still paled in comparison.

As the Dao Sect disciples returned, a series of events that had occurred since the Blood Rock Land began to spread within the Dao Sect. After all, that was the Immortal Yuan Ancestral Tree, such an extremely precious treasure. Although it was still a sapling, it would be able to bear more than a dozen fruits after half a year. Such important news naturally spread throughout the Dao Sect immediately.

Among them was the matter of Lin Dong using his Five Yuan Nirvana Realm strength to fight Yao Ling of the Nine Yuan Nirvana Realm without being defeated, and Ying Huanhuan using the power of the formation to trap two Life Profound Realm Completion experts with her Zither Skill.

Such achievements were enough to make them the top geniuses of the younger generation in the entire Eastern Xuan Region. Even if they couldn't be ranked alongside the Three Little Kings of Yuan Gate and Qingzhu Fairy of Taiqing Palace for the time being, they were only slightly inferior.

However, under the terrifying record of the Sword Saint fighting against the Eight Great Chiefs of Yuan Gate alone and beheading them all, it seemed insignificant.

Previously, although the Sword Saint's Name resounded throughout the Eastern Xuan Region, Yuan Gate, including the many forces under Yuan Gate, and many experts who wanted to join Yuan Gate, directly insisted that the Sword Saint was only able to have such strength by relying on the power of the Ancient Battlefield. In reality, he was only a genius at the level of the Three Little Kings of Yuan Gate.

However, the battle not long ago directly silenced everyone. The Eight Great Chiefs of Yuan Gate, eight well-known Life Profound Realm Completion experts, were even able to protect themselves against Death Profound Realm Minor Completion experts when working together, but they were killed by the Sword Saint alone. This was even more brutal than Zhou Tong in the past.

The most important thing was that the Sword Saint had not cultivated the Great Desolate Scripture, such a peerless martial art! If he mastered it, his strength would probably be even more heaven-defying!

And those who truly knew the truth were even more amazed, such as Yan, such as Zhou Tong...

Such dazzling light directly made all the surrounding geniuses dim. Just like at this moment, as soon as Lin Xuan appeared, all the Dao Sect disciples' gazes turned to him, and of course, Ying Huanhuan beside him.

Even Wu Dao, Chen Zhen, and the other four Hall Masters stared at Lin Xuan for a few moments before Qi Lei, the Heaven Hall Master, took the initiative to speak.

"Sword Saint, do you have confidence in obtaining this Great Desolate Scripture?"

The matter of the Otherworldly Demon had not been completely made public, so although Chen Zhen, Qi Lei, and others knew some things, they were not aware of the news of the Great Desolate Tablet.

Hearing Qi Lei's words, Lin Xuan shook his head slightly, causing Qi Lei, Chen Zhen, and the others to look at Lin Xuan in astonishment and incomprehension, but they heard Lin Xuan say.

"The Great Desolate Scripture is not entirely suitable for me."

As soon as these words came out, Qi Lei, Chen Zhen, and the others were speechless. Not suitable...

"This guy is really... uh, likes to tell the truth!"

Yan sensed Ying Huanhuan's gaze, its expression changed slightly, and it quickly changed its words. At the same time, it was also secretly shocked. Yan didn't expect that Ying Huanhuan could sense what it was saying. How did it feel a bit like that guy? Could it be a telepathic connection between husband and wife?

Ying Huanhuan had a hint of a smile in her eyes. After withdrawing her gaze from Yan, she turned to look at Lin Xuan. She happened to see Lin Xuan looking over. Knowing what Lin Xuan wanted to ask, Ying Huanhuan shook her head slightly and said with a sweet smile.

"I'll just cultivate the Swordplay you taught me. Hmph, I'm still waiting to surpass you in Swordplay and defeat you!"

As she spoke, the girl waved her small pink fist threateningly, causing a bit of a smile to appear on Lin Xuan's face, making Ying Huanhuan's eyes go blank, and she exclaimed.

"Ah, you smiled!"

"Did I?"

Lin Xuan asked with a restored calm, Ying Huanhuan, seeing this, couldn't help but wrinkle her delicate nose and harrumphed.

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes just now!"

Yan, hiding within Lin Dong's body, looked at the lively and spirited appearance of the girl, and felt a strange sensation in his heart. He even had the urge to pry open Ying Huanhuan's head to see if it had been replaced by the Ice Master. This, compared to the Ice Master he knew, was not just slightly different, but completely opposite in personality.

Lin Dong himself, however, looked at the figures of the two and couldn't help but think of Lin Ke'er, who was in seclusion, and Mu Qianqian, who was far away in the Great Yan Dynasty. A simple and honest smile appeared on his face, making Yan even more disgusted.

Fortunately, at this moment, what moved Yan was that the Great Desolate Tablet finally showed some activity.

"Rumble!"

Suddenly, the mountain peak began to tremble violently. Under the infusion of the vast Nirvana Pill river, countless boulders shattered, and huge cracks began to appear.

As the cracks spread, a section of grayish-yellow stone tablet emerged from the ground at an extremely fast speed. In just a few breaths, it had already revealed a several-zhang-high body.

And at the moment when that section of the tablet body was revealed, a desolate aura that had traveled across time from the ancient era instantly permeated the entire mountain peak.

Feeling that special desolate aura, Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart. The so-called desolation is actually the transition from death to life, seemingly dead but alive, and the Great Desolate Tablet has reached the pinnacle in this regard.

However, the next moment, Lin Xuan's pupils suddenly shrank again. As the tablet body continued to rise from the depths of the earth, Lin Xuan could clearly sense that an astonishing Otherworldly Demon Qi was raging within that desolate aura.

"Otherworldly Demon King!"

The same voice not only sounded softly in Lin Xuan's mouth, but also in Lin Dong's heart. Yan sensed the aura of the Great Desolate Tablet, and a solemn expression appeared on his face as he said in a deep voice.

"Crap, I'm afraid we'll have to wait for the Darkness Ancestor Symbol controller to come. The Great Desolate Tablet, that old boor, is clearly not capable himself, but insists on showing off. He chose to be messed up half to death by that Otherworldly Demon King, and still insists on causing trouble for me. It's infuriating!"

Not only Yan, but Zhou Tong, hiding in the dark, also felt a bit of guilt in his eyes after sensing the state of the Great Desolate Tablet. If he hadn't been too impulsive back then, perhaps the problem of the Great Desolate Tablet would have been solved long ago, and it wouldn't be like this now, to the point where even the tablet spirit had to fall into a deep sleep, using all its energy to suppress that Otherworldly Demon True King.

Ying Xuanzi, who was responsible for sealing the space together with Qian Laogui to prevent the leakage of Otherworldly Demon Qi, couldn't help but reach out and pat Zhou Tong's shoulder, comforting him softly.

"It's okay, even if we can't get rid of that Otherworldly Demon True King today, we can still awaken Senior Great Desolate Tablet. When Brother Bo Xuan arrives, we can get rid of him then!"

"Yeah!"

Zhou Tong nodded slightly upon hearing this, and the apology in his eyes faded a bit.
