He looked in the direction of the Dao Sect, his eyes shining brightly: "Our primary goal now is to become stronger!"
An ice dragon appeared, carrying him straight to the Dao Sect. The appearance of the ice dragon immediately caused the surrounding demonic beasts to scatter and flee. After the ice dragon rose up, array patterns began to spread from its head to its body. Once the ice dragon's entire body was covered, its speed increased significantly again!
"The ultimate speed is far beyond this."
As a flash of silver light appeared on the array patterns, spatial and lightning power were added to the ice dragon, perfectly bearing this power. The ice dragon underwent spatial leaps, and the ice dragon, condensed from the Ice Ancestral Symbol, also continuously unleashed the power of the Thunder Ancestral Symbol, enhancing its speed.
As for his hidden soul skills, he has actually mastered them to the point where he can use them at will. He usually applies them to battles with ease, such as right now, where the acceleration ability of the Flying Phoenix soul skill is still present.
If we compare the speed of a normal Reincarnation Realm cultivator to one, then his speed without using the Flying Phoenix is four, and if he uses the Flying Phoenix, then his speed is equivalent to ten!
He didn't know how long the soul skill bonuses in Douluo Continent could last, but at least for now, the bonuses in Dou Qi Continent and Tian Xuan Continent seemed quite powerful!
----------
In the southwestern region of the Eastern Xuan Domain, there is a vast mountain range spanning dozens of miles, shrouded in clouds and mist year-round, making it incredibly mysterious.
This extremely vast mountain range is called Dao Domain. Within it lies Dao Sect, one of the eight super sects. Hundreds of dynasties exist around this region, all headed by Dao Sect and dependent on it for survival.
When Xiao Wujiu stepped into this area, he saw that the Dao Domain Mountains were clearly divided into distinct sections, with countless towering mountains clustered together, and magnificent buildings that seemed to stretch endlessly on those giant mountains.
"Although the Dou Qi Continent only has the path to becoming an emperor through the ancient emperor Tuoshe, after a long period of accumulation, it is easy for more than a hundred Dou Sheng powerhouses comparable to the Reincarnation Realm to survive, even if they are not yet ready to advance. Unlike the Tianxuan Continent, there are very few Reincarnation Realm powerhouses."
Looking at the magnificent Dao Sect, Xiao Wujiu couldn't help but sigh. As he ventured deeper, he arrived at the deepest part of the mountain range.
Here, there is a massive light shield tens of thousands of feet high, shaped like an inverted bowl covering a large area. Within it, one can see one ancient and weathered hall after another standing, and countless figures like ants can be vaguely seen moving within it.
"This formation is not bad," Xiao Wujiu couldn't help but comment. Looking at the Dao Sect's protective formation, he focused his spiritual power on his fingertips and quickly landed on several formation nodes, easily opening a passage slightly larger than a person. "But it still can't stop me."
He didn't deliberately conceal his aura when he entered, only shielding the senses of those with insufficient strength. Therefore, news of his arrival at the Dao Sect would quickly reach the ears of some people, prompting them to take swift action. Before that, he decided to take the initiative to find Lin Dong first, so that he could discuss matters when Ying Xuanzi arrived.
……
Inside the Daoist sect, in a secluded retreat.
At this moment, the Dao Sect Master Ying Xuanzi slowly opened his eyes. After ending his brief seclusion, he looked solemnly towards the direction of the Dao Sect's mountain gate.
"This aura..."
Ying Xuanzi slowly stood up. This top expert from the Eastern Xuan Region was only wearing a pair of cloth shoes and a simple, well-fitting white robe. He looked to be no more than thirty or forty years old, with a face as smooth as jade.
Those eyes, tinged with a hint of vicissitude, were as wise as the sea, yet also carried a trace of worry.
His figure disappeared and he arrived at the secluded cultivation place. He first went to the outside of the Dao Sect's protective formation and checked the place where the aura first appeared. After confirming that the other party had not violently destroyed it, he felt much more relaxed.
"It seems he's not an unfriendly guest, so let's go and have a proper greeting."
With that thought in mind, Ying Xuanzi headed towards the desolate palace... In his perception, that aura was right there!
Chapter 224 Author: Three Years to Dou Zun, Five Years to Dou Sheng
At this moment, Xiao Wujiu was indeed in the Desolate Hall, or more precisely, around the Great Desolate Stele, watching Lin Dong comprehend the Great Desolate Scripture.
However, his attention was not on the latter, but on the Great Desolate Stele in front of him. After seeing this artifact, which ranked third on the list of ancient divine artifacts, he thought of the information about it.
If I remember correctly, there is also a True King-level demon suppressed below, with the strength to survive the second cycle of reincarnation. However, the rank of this demon king is not as high as that of the one suppressed below the Great Wilderness Ancient Stele.
Although the Demon King below only possessed the strength of the second level of the Reincarnation Realm, this was because his injuries had not yet healed, which led to his decline in strength. At his peak, he was comparable to a powerhouse who had passed through the third level of the Reincarnation Tribulation. The reason was simple: the Demon King held a royal position in the Demon Prison composed of demons.
Ranked... Ninth!
Therefore, even when he saw the Great Wilderness Ancient Stele and the alien demon, he did not intend to take action. Instead, he planned to deal with the Nine Kings Palace under the Great Wilderness Ancient Stele first.
After this matter is over, if everything goes smoothly, his strength should be able to officially break through the Reincarnation Realm and enter the Samsara Realm!
In this way, even if he were alone, he would have enough strength to deal with the alien demon king beneath the Great Desolate Monument.
There are still three months left until the five-year agreement that Ling Qingzhu mentioned...
Three years to become a Dou Zun, five years to become a Dou Sheng.
This name awakened some of his memories, prompting him to intend to publish a book, which would be based on the speed of his improvement!
Thinking this, he withdrew his gaze, a humble smile on his face, and said in a calm voice, "Since Sect Leader Ying has already arrived, there is no need to observe him anymore. I have no hostility towards the Dao Sect. It was only because of the urgency of the matter that I was unable to inform him in advance. I hope you will forgive me for any offense I may have caused."
"Hehe, what are you saying, sir? Since you are a friend and not an enemy, then I am the one who failed to greet you properly. How could I have offended you?" Ying Xuanzi was quite relieved after arriving for a while and confirming that the other party had no other intentions. So when he heard Xiao Wujiu point it out directly, he appeared directly beside the latter.
"My name is Xiao Wujiu. I am an old friend of Brother Lin Dong. I have come here on business and have come to seek out your esteemed sect." He clasped his hands in a fist salute and said to Ying Xuanzi.
"You are Xiao Wujiu? But..." Ying Xuanzi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiao Wujiu with an incredulous expression. After looking him up and down a few times, he found that his appearance was indeed similar to what Wudao had described, which shocked him even more.
According to Wu Dao, Xiao Wujiu, who suddenly appeared, was only at the peak of the Shengxuan Realm. Although his trump card was amazing and he could briefly possess the strength of the Zhuanlun Realm when he unleashed his full power, the other party was now standing in front of him with his realm already stable at the Zhuanlun Realm, without any of the violent aura of his secret technique.
Keep in mind that this was only a year after the Hundred Dynasties War, right? No, it probably wasn't!
So the young man standing in front of me named Xiao Wujiu, in less than a year, had surpassed the Death Profound Realm, merged life and death, and entered the Reincarnation Realm.
Moreover, that aura was actually comparable to his, a veteran Reincarnation Realm cultivator who had been cultivating for a long time. This...
"It was just a bit of luck," Xiao Wujiu said briefly, then looked at Lin Dong below, "Since I have other important matters to attend to, I'll keep it brief."
"I need to take Lin Dong back with me."
"Why? He is now a disciple of my Dao Sect. I have the right to know his whereabouts in order to ensure his safety."
"I'm sure Sect Leader Ying has also realized his identity as the controller of the Ancestral Symbol, right? And what I'm going to do with him is naturally to fulfill the responsibilities that all controllers should fulfill."
Ying Xuanzi's expression changed. From these words, he gleaned two things: Xiao Wujiu in front of him was also one of the controllers of the Ancestral Symbol, and they were preparing to... slay the demon!
"What level of demonic entity is it that requires the intervention of two Ancestral Symbol Masters? Are you capable of handling it?"
“It is a Demon King, ranked ninth in the Demon Prison established by those Demons, called the Nine Kings Palace. It is currently severely injured, and its strength is roughly equivalent to a powerhouse who has survived the second cycle of reincarnation,” Xiao Wujiu said with a deep gaze and a heavy tone. “But please rest assured, this time, in addition to Lin Dong and me, there is also Moro, the controller of the Flame Ancestral Symbol, and the assistance of the Life and Death Ancestral Symbol. The existence of the five Ancestral Symbols is enough to suppress and kill this Demon King.”
"The Demon King, Second Reincarnation Realm!" Even though Ying Xuanzi was somewhat prepared, he hadn't expected him to be such a troublesome being.
But they were shocked by the subsequent lineup. In addition to the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, the Flame Ancestral Symbol, and the Life and Death Ancestral Symbol, there were two more Ancestral Symbols, making a total of five Ancestral Symbols suppressing the enemy. So this trip should be foolproof.
but……
"What kind of ancestral symbol do you possess?" Ying Xuanzi stared at Xiao Wujiu, seemingly seeking confirmation of something. However, the latter did not intend to hide anything from him.
He looked into Ying Xuanzi's eyes and spoke clearly: "The Ancestral Symbol of Ice, the Ancestral Symbol of Thunder."
“It really is two ancestral symbols!” Ying Xuanzi’s eyes widened slightly, indicating his extreme unease.
At this moment, Xiao Wujiu looked in a certain direction as if he had a premonition. On a rooftop in the distance, a woman was standing with her hands on her hips. She was dressed in red and had a slender figure. Her hands, which were placed on her hips, were not only as white as the most perfect mutton fat jade, but her long fingers were also in the golden ratio, without the slightest flaw. They were the most perfect hands he had ever seen.
In this light, the description in the original work is not exaggerated.
However, when he met the woman's gaze, he keenly noticed the fleeting icy blue in her pupils, and the familiar aura within stirred his heart.
Ying Xuanzi followed his gaze and saw her. His face was filled with surprise. After a moment of contemplation, he simply introduced her: "This is my daughter, named Ying Huanhuan."
“Okay, I understand, Ying Huanhuan,” Xiao Wujiu glanced at Ying Xuanzi meaningfully, then prepared to leave. “Alright, since Sect Leader Ying is alright, I will come to your sect again after Lin Dong wakes up.”
Before Ying Xuanzi could speak, he entered the space and disappeared.
He was indeed familiar with that aura, because he had encountered it before when he obtained the Ice Ancestral Symbol.
"The previous wielder of the Ice Ancestral Symbol was the Ice Lord..."
Chapter 225 Arrival, Action!
The Great Yan Dynasty, the Great Wilderness Prefecture.
At this time, the situation where many heroes rose up and many forces had disappeared. Instead, a force called Eagle Sect was now in charge of this place.
The Great Wilderness Stele, which was originally located here, has changed from a place that many cultivators flocked to to a sacred object that is now surrounded by the Eagle Sect, and outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave at will.
Lin Dong and Xiao Wujiu flew in mid-air, looking at the familiar plants and trees around them. This was the place he had once visited, and their expressions were full of emotion. Back then, he obtained the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger here, which helped him overcome countless tribulations. Now, returning here, it was indeed impossible not to feel emotional.
He looked at Xiao Wujiu in front of him and couldn't help but smile bitterly. When he learned from Sect Leader Ying Xuanzi that an acquaintance had visited, he was a little surprised to see the latter. Then, the moment they met, before he could catch up, he was pulled away from the Dao Sect by breaking through space. When he left, he also took Lin Diao and Lin Yan with him.
Before leaving, Lin Dong saw that Ying Xuanzi was smiling and did not stop him, so he knew that there was something urgent. Even the sect leader agreed, and since they were acquaintances, he did not object. After leaving the Dao Sect, he had learned a lot from Ying Xuanzi on his way here.
For example, the Ancestral Symbol, which he had been searching for, now, apart from his Devouring Ancestral Symbol, he suddenly knew of four more. Unfortunately, the bad news was that they were all already owned, and his Brother Xiao alone possessed two of them!
Even Lin Diao was shocked by this situation, exclaiming that Xiao Wujiu was a monster. If it weren't for the fact that the Devouring Ancestral Symbol was still on Lin Dong's body, he would have suspected that Xiao Wujiu was the one who controlled the Devouring Ancestral Symbol.
However, before the three could fully process the news, Xiao Wujiu revealed the purpose of his return to the Great Yan Dynasty. The phrase "slay the alien demons" shocked Lin Diao once again. After the latter explained, Lin Dong also realized the seriousness of the matter.
As the controller of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, he had also asked what level of alien demon required all five Ancestral Symbols to act together, making it even more terrifying than the alien demon king beneath the Great Desolate Stele.
The answer was simple: "The Nine Kings Palace of Demonic Prison, in its prime, was comparable to the third level of the Reincarnation Realm, and now it has the strength of the second level of the Reincarnation Realm."
This person's strength was even greater than the sect leader's, and greater than everyone else on this demon-slaying journey. This answer genuinely terrified Lin Dong, but he still came.
"Brother Xiao, when the battle begins, is there anything I can do for you?"
Xiao Wujiu, who was trying to contact Moro and the others, thought for a moment with a serious expression after hearing Lin Dong's question, and tossed him a small circular array plate: "While trying to stay alive, activate the power of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol with all your might."
After saying that, he continued to contact Moro. According to the message that came back, they seemed to have arrived.
Lin Dong caught the array plate that Xiao Wujiu threw to him and examined it with curiosity. He originally wanted to ask what it was, but seeing the latter's serious expression, he didn't rush to disturb him and instead asked Lin Diao next to him.
"Little Mink, you know..."
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a spiritual treasure comparable to a mid-level pure Yuan treasure." Before Lin Dong could finish asking, Lin Diao solemnly took the array plate and carefully examined it in his hand.
“It looks like it was originally a genuine Pure Yuan Treasure, but the array patterns on its surface were forcibly removed and then re-engraved on the array plate,” he said as he handed the item back to Lin Dong, but his eyes remained fixed on Xiao Wujiu. “Although the grade of this Pure Yuan Treasure has decreased slightly, it has completely changed from a single type of array pattern.”
"This is a pure Yuan treasure that can save your life. It can be activated on its own after being refined, which is a small burden on the owner. Even without actively activating it, it can withstand a full-force attack from a typical Reincarnation Realm cultivator. Attacks from below the Life Profound Realm will not be able to break through its defenses!"
"I've really learned something new! This little thing is so amazing!" Lin Yan exclaimed in amazement, which made Lin Diao roll his eyes.
"It's a good item, you'd better keep it for now, firstly for your own safety, and secondly because the other party doesn't need it." Lin Diao saw that Lin Dong wanted to return it after learning its purpose, and interrupted him directly.
His gaze once again drifted towards Xiao Wujiu, seemingly casually. As someone who had once been close to the Reincarnation Realm, he keenly sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the other party. This person's strength and foundation were far beyond their comprehension. More than the array plate, he was curious about what the other party would do with the array patterns that had been removed.
……
"We've arrived. Get ready to go in." Just then, Xiao Wujiu's voice rang out, and the surrounding environment had unknowingly brought them outside the Great Wilderness Stele.
At this moment, four people, two men and two women, were standing quietly in front of the Great Wilderness Stele.
When Lin Dong got closer, he discovered that there was a familiar face among them, none other than Jiang Yinyin from the Eagle Martial Arts School!
No, to be precise, it should now be Jiang Yinyin, the second young lady of the Eagle Sect. This girl is exactly the same as when they parted. His gaze swept over the other three, while Lin Diao's voice could still be heard introducing them.
"The Flame Ancestral Symbol controller is at the Reincarnation Realm; one has an aura somewhat similar to that of a powerful member of the Undying Holy Whale Clan, also at the Reincarnation Realm; as for the other, his aura is somewhat strange, but he also possesses the strength of the Great Perfection of the Life Profound Realm."
Lin Dong's expression couldn't help but change. He hadn't expected that the small Great Yan Dynasty would have gathered three experts of the same level as Sect Leader Ying Xuanzi...
Afterwards, under Xiao Wujiu's guidance, the group got acquainted briefly and learned that Moro had arranged everything, which put their minds at ease. He then glanced at Jiang Yinyin's condition; the Samsara Mark on her forehead was visible, which meant it wasn't caused by the Great Wilderness Stele leaking demonic energy. Since they had arrived too early, the Great Wilderness Stele was in much better condition than they had imagined.
