Massive Harvest, Won Big!
Another five days passed in the blink of an eye.
Mental fluctuations emanated from the eighth floor again; Lin Dong had broken through.
A moment later, Lin Dong excitedly opened his eyes.
"Finally succeeded."
Lin Dong took significantly longer to break through than Zi Yue, mainly because his Innate Talisman Seal was the Heavenly Swirl Symbol Seal, which required much more mental energy to cultivate than Zi Yue's.
"Interested in taking a look at the ninth floor?"
Lin Yun looked at the mental barrier of the ninth floor, asking with interest.
"Yes!" Lin Dong grinned.
Since they had entered the Symbol Master Tower, they naturally had to explore it thoroughly.
Lin Yun smiled, and then four Talisman Seals appeared, transforming into whirlpools, protecting his body.
*"Bang!"*
A muffled sound echoed. The mental barrier of the ninth floor was extremely difficult to break. Lin Yun pushed his body forcefully inwards, the four Heavenly Talisman whirlpools helping him absorb the mental energy squeezed by the barrier.
Pop... After being squeezed for a moment, Lin Yun successfully passed through.
Seeing Lin Yun enter, Lin Dong followed suit, using the same method.
His realm wasn't as high as Lin Yun's, but the Heavenly Swirl Symbol Seal was powerful enough. After Lin Dong struggled for a long time, he finally managed to rush in.
The ninth floor! Lin Yun was already examining the surroundings.
The ninth floor was very special. Surprisingly, there was no mental pressure, and the area was extremely small, only about ten zhang in range.
The ground was also covered with a lot of dust, appearing very messy compared to the floors below.
The entire space was empty.
However, his gaze was quickly drawn to the tower walls on either side.
"Are these the maps of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol and the Thunder Ancestral Symbol?" Lin Yun examined the walls, naturally knowing what they were.
On the walls were numerous patterns. These patterns were complex and obscure, and as a whole, they seemed to form two extremely complex and ancient runes.
Just then, Lin Dong also came up.
He was also startled when he saw the walls.
Those ancient runes were so complex they made one dizzy, but each stroke seemed to contain the principles of heaven and earth, making one unable to help but become engrossed, which was extremely magical.
"This rune..."
Both of their gazes were fixed on the rune on the left wall.
"How is it somewhat similar to the Heavenly Swirl Symbol Seal!"
Lin Dong was surprised. At this moment, the rune on the wall emitted a faint suction force. Under that suction force, the Innate Heavenly Talisman in his Niwan Palace seemed as if it was about to fly out.
"Ancestral Symbol!"
Lin Yun said indifferently. He stood before the wall, his finger tracing the two words below the rune mural.
"Ancestral Symbol, what is that?" Lin Dong also came over curiously.
"An Ancestral Symbol would actually appear here." A faint voice drifted out.
The next second, a black marten shadow floated out from Lin Dong's hand.
He smiled arrogantly and began to explain, "The essence of a Symbol Master's cultivation is to condense a life talisman with mental energy, which is the Talisman Seal in your Niwan Palace. Talisman Seals have ordinary, Spirit Talisman, and Heavenly Talisman grades, and there are countless types. But between heaven and earth, the most powerful are the Ancestral Symbols."
"Ancestral Symbols are not created by humans, but condensed by the rules of heaven and earth. Each Ancestral Symbol possesses heaven-reaching power."
"The controllers of Ancestral Symbols are also the most powerful existences between heaven and earth."
"I once saw an Ancestral Symbol controller. That guy could probably destroy Flame City with a casual attack."
Lin Dong asked curiously, "Ancestral Symbols are so powerful, then how many Ancestral Symbols are there in this world?"
"As far as I know, there are only eight Ancestral Symbols!"
...
While the two were excitedly chatting, Lin Yun was trying to establish a task.
He knew the plot and what he could obtain here.
[Task: Obtain the location map of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol. Reward: Devouring Talisman Seal, Seal Formation Method!]
[Task: Obtain the location map of the Thunder Ancestral Symbol. Reward: Thunder Talisman Seal, Seal Formation Method!]
"Holy crap!"
Lin Yun exclaimed in surprise. These rewards were too good.
The Seal Formation Methods for the Devouring and Thunder Talisman Seals were equivalent to the cultivation methods for the Ancestral Symbols. Even if they couldn't reach the power of the Ancestral Symbols in the future, they would definitely be stronger than the Heavenly Swirl Symbol Seal.
Little Marten observed for a while and said, "These two runes are not Ancestral Symbols. They should be copied by a powerful Symbol Master according to the Ancestral Symbols. To be able to copy such complex Ancestral Symbols, this person is also not simple."
"What a pity, it would be great if they were Ancestral Symbols!" Lin Dong sighed, curiously leaning closer to the runes. He was slightly surprised, "This Talisman Seal is almost half similar to the Heavenly Swirl Symbol we cultivate?"
"It should be that the Talisman Seals you cultivate are derived from this Ancestral Symbol," Little Marten judged.
"Move aside, let me try!"
Lin Yun shouted, then summoned his Innate Heavenly Talisman.
"Buzz!"
The Innate Heavenly Talisman emitted mental energy fluctuations, transforming into a vortex, extending threads of mental energy like rays of light, shining on the imprinted Ancestral Symbol on the wall.
Along with the illumination of the mental light rays, the imprinted Ancestral Symbol on the wall also reflected some light rays. These light rays reflected into the air in front, vaguely outlining something like a diagram.
On the map, there were two red dots.
"This is a map!"
Lin Dong and Little Marten were both startled, looking at Lin Yun in surprise. "Brother Lin Yun, how did you know there was a map hidden in the symbols?"
"I just gave it a try, I didn't expect to actually find something," Lin Yun said with a faint smile.
"This is a map of the Great Yan Dynasty. Could this red dot be the location of the Ancestral Symbol?" Lin Dong said excitedly.
"This is incredible. In the small Great Yan Dynasty, not only does someone know the location of two Ancestral Symbols, but one of them is actually here."
Little Marten murmured in shock. He knew how precious and powerful Ancestral Symbols were, coveted by all strong practitioners in the world. He didn't expect one to appear in a place like this. If this got out, the entire Great Yan Dynasty, and even the Eastern Xuan Region, would likely be thrown into chaos.
"The map for this other red dot is very unfamiliar, it should be outside the Great Yan Dynasty," Lin Dong said with some disappointment, looking at the other map.
"It's already quite good to find one Ancestral Symbol, and you still want two."
Little Marten glanced at Lin Dong, then said in a deep voice, "However, with your current strength, it's too dangerous to go look for the Ancestral Symbols."
"Just keep it for now. Anyway, we know this information. Whether we can find it, we'll see later."
Lin Yun's mental energy moved, and the mental energy map, under his guidance, transformed into rays of light that projected into the Heavenly Talisman vortex. Then the vortex wriggled for a while, transforming back into the Innate Heavenly Talisman and returning to his Niwan Palace.
"Alright, let's go out!"
The two rushed down, quickly reaching the first floor from the ninth.
Stepping out of the Talisman Master Tower! All eyes were on them.
Yan Xuan wore a look of relief and satisfaction.
...
Back home! Lin Yun immediately entered his room to claim his rewards.
Inventory of gains:
"One bag of Seventh Grade Gathering Spirit Pills!"
"One bag of Seventh Grade Soul Nourishing Pills!"
"Intermediate Array Formation Talent!"
"Intermediate Sword Technique Talent!"
"Spirit +2, Comprehension +2, Luck +2!"
"Divine Grade Mental Secret Technique: Five Elements Destruction Symbol Array."
"Charm +5, Seven Absolute Flying Swords!"
"Devouring Talisman Seal Formation Method!"
"Thunder Talisman Seal Formation Method!"
After the attribute increases, Spirit and Comprehension were still one in a thousand, and Luck was still purple, not having upgraded.
However, Charm reached 46, becoming his highest attribute.
Of course, the most important gains were the other items.
This time, Lin Yun could be said to have hit the jackpot!
Lin Yun grinned, "I can set up a large number of cultivation tasks again. I'll have plenty to grind now, but after mastering these, my strength should have a qualitative leap!"
