Martial Universe: Inherit the Future, Quickly Become a Martial Ancestor!

Soon after,

Lanhe returned to his courtyard and sat cross-legged in his bedroom.

His thoughts stirred slightly, and his consciousness sank once more into the depths of his mind. The ancient wooden urn still floated silently, emanating a cold and heavy aura.

But unlike before, after the spirit of "future self" dissipated, Lanhe could vaguely sense that some kind of invisible restraint on the urn seemed to have been released and could be opened at any time.

With a slight thought, he gently touched the urn with his spiritual power.

hum!

The urn trembled slightly, and then an ancient and mysterious black rune slowly emerged from it.

A solid black light swirled around the rune, and with each subtle fluctuation of the rune, the light subtly transformed into various miniature black hole-like shapes, and a terrifying aura that devoured everything and made the world lose its color quietly spread out.

Devour the Ancestral Symbol!

"This is... the keepsake you left me?"

Lan He was deeply shaken and almost blurted out.

Of course he recognized what was in front of him!

As a member of the royal family of the Immortal Dynasty, he had no chance to see the real Ancestral Symbols of Heaven and Earth in person, but he had been exposed to the shapes and characteristics of the eight Ancestral Symbols, the rubbings of the symbols, and even related secrets since childhood through royal records and stories told by his elders.

Even more coincidentally, the imperial treasury of the Immortal Dynasty contains a "Devouring Heaven Talisman" that has been passed down for a long time!

That was a talisman treasure created by a brilliant and powerful talisman master in the history of the Immortal Dynasty, who had one foot in the realm of Immortal Talisman Masters, after observing the Devouring Ancestral Talisman. He devoted his entire life to replicating it.

Although it cannot compare to the true ancestral symbol, it still contains a trace of devouring power, making it incredibly powerful and considered one of the dynasty's true foundations.

When Lanhe was a child, he and his father had seen it from afar, and the terrifying aura that seemed to suck away even one's soul remains unforgettable to this day.

The black rune that appeared in the urn before him emitted a devouring power that was hundreds or thousands of times stronger than the "Devouring Heavenly Rune" in the treasure vault, combined with his previous experiences in the future.

Without a doubt, this is the real Devouring Ancestral Symbol!

"The true Devouring Ancestral Symbol... one of the most powerful treasures in the world!"

Lan He felt an overwhelming surge of excitement.

As a time traveler, he was well aware of the power of the Eight Ancestral Symbols. He never expected that his future self would leave them behind as relics. It was truly something he was capable of doing.

After his initial euphoria, Lan He quickly calmed down. He knew that the Ancestral Symbols possessed a spirit, and each one held unfathomable power and an indomitable will.

Refining the Ancestral Symbol is no easy task; it requires the symbol's approval and testing. A slight misstep will result in being devoured by the pure and domineering power of the Ancestral Symbol, turning into nothingness and becoming a wisp of energy that nourishes the symbol.

But if I can do it in the future, then I don't mind.

He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and then activated his spiritual power, slowly reaching out to the Devouring Ancestral Symbol that was quietly floating and emitting a deep, dark light, preparing to face the test.

However, just as his spiritual power was about to touch the ancient rune—

A sudden change has occurred!

The Devouring Ancestral Symbol, which had been floating quietly, seemed to sense something and suddenly trembled slightly.

Immediately afterwards, it voluntarily broke free from the urn, trembled slightly, and transformed into a gentle and obedient stream of black light, like a weary bird returning to its forest.

With a natural, indescribable sense of intimacy, it flew straight toward Lan He, silently disappearing into his brow and merging into his body.

The whole process was incredibly smooth, without the slightest resistance or the anticipated challenges, as if Blue River was its only true owner.

Lan He was stunned.

With a slight thought, he scanned himself with his spiritual power and could even clearly "sense" that the Devouring Ancestral Symbol was quietly floating in his Niwan Palace, radiating waves of intimacy and dependence, and its connection with him was close and seamless, as if they were one.

"Is this... a voluntary recognition of ownership?"

Lan He whispered in disbelief, "Is it because my future self has already successfully refined it once, so it's already familiar with and accepts my soul essence? Now that we've met again, all the trials have been skipped, and the recognition process has been completed directly?"

This conjecture sent a jolt through him. If that were the case, then the urn might be even more useful than he had imagined.

With a slight thought, he tried to activate this newly acquired power, and a tiny, almost invisible black vortex quietly appeared on his outstretched palm.

There was no earth-shattering noise, but the invisible suction force emanating from the center of the vortex caused the surrounding spiritual energy to surge in at a rate far exceeding the usual absorption rate, and even the faint light inside the room was subtly bent towards it.

The vital energy near the palm was instantly devoured, leaving behind a strange "vacuum" zone.

"This is... the power of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol..."

As Lan He watched the black vortex slowly dissipate in his palm, feeling the immense power surging within him that seemed capable of digesting and transforming everything, his eyes shone brightly.

Although with his current cultivation level, he was far from being able to unleash the true power of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, even just activating a tiny fraction of it brought him a qualitative leap!

"It seems that my future self has really left me an amazing legacy."

Lan He clenched his fist, feeling the power within him perfectly integrated with the Ancestral Symbol, and whispered, "Does the Tianyuan Dynasty still have the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace?"

"Don't worry, I've remembered what you didn't finish."

……

The next morning.

The following morning, deep within the War King's mansion, in a specially reinforced quiet room.

The space was filled with an intense, almost impenetrable, Yuan energy fluctuation, and a faint golden halo permeated the air.

In the center of the quiet room, several small mountains made of perfectly round pills stood out prominently. These pills, roughly the size of longan fruits, radiated intense and powerful energy fluctuations; they were none other than the extremely precious Nirvana Pills of the Tianxuan Continent!

Nirvana Pills are cultivation resources that only Nirvana Realm experts can condense and use. The Nirvana Qi contained within them is pure and domineering. In the Eastern Xuan Region, due to their stable energy and high value, they have long been a common hard currency among the various dynasties and sects.

Even the royal families of ordinary low-level dynasties might not be able to accumulate much in a year, but in a super dynasty like the Immortal Dynasty, especially for Lan He, the son of the War King, resources have never been a problem.

Sitting cross-legged in the center of the small mountain of pills, Lan He's eyes were slightly closed. A mysterious suction force emanated from his body, transforming into a dark, miniature vortex that spun silently, radiating a palpable aura that seemed to devour everything.

Drawn by the vortex, the golden halo of the surrounding Nirvana Pill began to peel away strand by strand, transforming into a torrent of pure energy that flowed into his body like rivers flowing into the sea.

His aura was also rapidly increasing at a visible speed.

The three realms of Form Creation, Qi Creation, and Transformation are further divided into minor and major achievements, and cultivation in each realm is far more difficult than that in the Yuan Dan realm.

However, under the impact of this massive energy and the mysterious assistance of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, the barrier of the Qi Creation Realm is being rapidly worn down and dissolved.

Just as Lan He was immersed in this unprecedentedly enjoyable cultivation—

Du, du.

A clear knock came from outside the quiet room, followed by Xinli's low voice: "Young Master, His Majesty and Princess Lanying have arrived and are waiting in the front hall. They say they have important business to discuss."

Lan He frowned slightly and slowly finished his practice. The black vortex around him dissipated silently, and the surging energy fluctuations in the quiet room quickly subsided.

He opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them. His aura was much stronger and more solid than yesterday, reaching the peak of the Form Creation Realm, and he was not far from the Qi Creation Realm.

"Understood, Your Majesty and Sister Lan Ying, please wait a moment, I'll be right there."

Lan He stood up, brushing away imaginary dust from his clothes, and thought to himself, "It's probably about the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace..."
