Chapter 920 Acquisition of the Space Ancestral Symbol
The blazing true fire did not dissipate; instead, it swept across the entire Yuanmen Mountain Range with its remaining power. Golden and red flames covered the mountains, and palaces, pavilions, rocks, trees, forbidden areas, and abysses were all burned into a sea of fire.
The entire Yuanmen Mountain Gate was now completely transformed into a blazing inferno. The intense heat distorted the space, and the remaining demonic energy was burned away. The once solemn grandeur and heinous sins were all reduced to scorched earth and ashes by this attack, leaving nothing behind.
As the raging flames gradually subsided and no more ferocious demonic energy remained within the Yuanmen territory, everyone around felt a sense of relief, and their tense minds finally settled down.
The series of shocking events that unfolded today far exceeded the comprehension of most people present. The series of shocking scenes broadened everyone's horizons and filled them with sighs and emotions.
First, Ying Huanhuan, the daughter of the Dao Sect's leader, led her followers to Yuanmen to confront the sect's power and demand answers. Then, Yuanmen's high-ranking members appeared one after another to confront them, and the turmoil intensified.
At this critical moment, Dao Zong Ying Xuanzi personally stepped forward to oversee the situation and engaged in a fierce battle with the powerful figures of Yuan Men.
With no other options, the three giants of Yuanmen resorted to forbidden secret techniques in an attempt to turn the tide of the battle by borrowing the power of the alien demons. Their massive conspiracy to collude with the alien demons was thus completely exposed.
No one could have predicted that this earth-shattering battle that swept across the two major sects would ultimately be decided by a mysterious and unfathomably powerful figure.
With his own power alone, he swept away all evil spirits and malevolent forces, completely crushed all the Yuan Sect's reliance, and eradicated this evil sect that colluded with demons and wreaked havoc in the Eastern Xuan Region, utterly destroying it between heaven and earth.
After this battle, everyone fully recognized the terrifying strength of this top expert before them, and their hearts were filled with awe, making it difficult for them to calm down for a long time.
Just then, gentle ripples spread through the void, and Zhou Tong's figure shattered the space and arrived in an instant, landing steadily beside Xiao Ling, bowing respectfully to him.
Before he finished speaking, a wisp of warm, white light slowly drifted out from Zhou Tong's body and quietly hovered in front of Xiao Ling. The light flowed, faintly revealing the magnificent aura unique to the treasures of heaven and earth.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling raised an eyebrow slightly and said with a hint of surprise, "The Space Ancestral Symbol is a top-tier treasure in the world, extremely precious. Are you really willing to give it up so easily?"
Zhou Tong's expression was sincere, his head bowed, and his tone full of respect.
"Senior, you may not know this, but although I have been able to live peacefully all these years thanks to the protection of the Ancestral Symbol of Space, I still cannot escape the erosion of the evil energy of the Yuan Sect. My body and mind have long been tainted by evil. The Ancestral Symbol embodies the righteous energy of heaven and earth and has always hated all kinds of demonic energy and evil spirits in the world. In my current state, I am no longer worthy to wield such a divine object."
"Senior's cultivation is unparalleled in this world, and he has also given me the great favor of being reborn from my calamity. It is only right that this talisman be handed over to you. Moreover, such a supreme treasure as the Space Ancestral Talisman can only reveal its true power when it falls into your hands. It is far more meaningful than leaving it here to bury its brilliance."
"Moreover, senior previously rescued me from the Demon Emperor's Lock and helped me regain my physical body. He truly saved my life. Today, I offer the Space Ancestral Symbol as a small token of my gratitude to repay your kindness."
"Since it is your sincere offer, I will accept it without hesitation."
Xiao Ling had always intended to collect all eight ancestral symbols in the world, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.
He raised his hand and gently grasped the ball of shimmering silver light in his palm. A faint ripple appeared in the void. The spatial ancestral symbol moved unexpectedly smoothly, without any resistance, and slowly merged into his body. The whole process was calm and peaceful, without causing any unusual phenomena.
As the ancestral symbol completely merged with his own, Xiao Ling seemed to have grasped a deeper level of the profound mysteries of the Great Dao of Space, and many new insights arose in his heart, which he would only need to calmly and carefully comprehend and refine in the future.
"The forces of the Otherworldly Demons have quietly revived, and the ancient calamity that swept across the heavens may be on the verge of returning. Within the Eastern Xuan Domain, the Yuan Sect openly colluded with the Otherworldly Demons, wreaking havoc on the local people. Although I have now completely destroyed them, there are still many remnants of the Otherworldly Demons lurking in the world, and it is hard to guarantee that they will not lie in wait and cause trouble."
As soon as Xiao Ling finished speaking, all the powerful figures from the Eastern Xuan Region present tensed up, a strong sense of crisis suddenly arose in their hearts, and they secretly pondered how to conduct themselves in the future.
Everyone had just witnessed the ferocity of the alien demons and knew how terrifying they were. Even though those powerful alien demons were no match for Xiao Ling, any one of them was far beyond what ordinary cultivators like them could contend with or withstand.
Upon realizing this, everyone understood that the safest way out was to sincerely rely on this supreme expert who could suppress the demons and quell the chaos, and closely follow him. Only then could they find a sliver of peace in the coming chaos.
From the crowd, the leader of a super sect stepped forward first, solemnly cupping his hands and speaking:
"In my humble opinion, with chaos looming and turmoil brewing, it would be better for all the sects of the Eastern Xuan Region to submit to your command, senior, and follow your lead from now on. With a peerless expert like you in charge, the myriad lives of the Eastern Xuan Region can stand firmly amidst the turmoil, and everyone can work together to wipe out the hidden demons throughout the Tianxuan Continent, restoring peace and tranquility to the world."
As soon as he finished speaking, a chorus of agreement immediately arose from the surrounding area. Many powerful figures from various sects nodded in agreement, their words filled with heartfelt admiration.
Even Ying Xuanzi, who was standing to the side, looked up at Xiao Ling with a curious and inquisitive gaze upon hearing this.
For him, leading his followers to follow Xiao Ling was not an impossible thing. He had already witnessed Xiao Ling's extraordinary strength firsthand and knew in his heart that it was unfathomable.
Moreover, if it weren't for Xiao Ling's help in the past, he would still be unable to break through the shackles and reach the supreme realm of the Reincarnation Realm. With this favor and strength right in front of him, he had no objection whatsoever to following suit.
"You may discuss the matters concerning the Eastern Xuan Region yourselves."
Xiao Ling glanced indifferently at the leaders of various sects, then withdrew his gaze, showing no intention whatsoever of interfering in the power shift in the Eastern Xuan Region.
He was not originally from the Tianxuan Continent, but rather an outsider, and had never wanted to interfere in the local conflicts of any region. More importantly, with his current cultivation level, it would be meaningless for him to cultivate power on the Tianxuan Continent.
He never lingered here; the rise and fall of powers and the change of sects in this world were nothing but fleeting clouds to him.
The tacit approval of the proposal to form a sect alliance was merely a matter of following the trend and seeking peace for the people of the Eastern Xuan Region during this chaotic time. I never expected these sects to create any earth-shattering achievements or establish any unparalleled merits.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ling slowly raised his hand, his fingertips tracing a line in the void. A shimmering white arc of light suddenly appeared in the sky, slowly spreading and unfurling, causing gentle, surging ripples in the space to ripple and tear apart the solid barrier between heaven and earth.
A narrow spatial rift slowly took shape, then rapidly expanded and extended. Under the watchful eyes of countless people filled with awe, a spatial passage spanning the void steadily materialized.
As the clouds dispersed at the end of the passage, the majestic and solemn Taoist mountain gate was revealed.
"We're leaving."
Xiao Ling spoke softly and waved his hand lightly. A gentle spiritual light instantly enveloped Ling Qingzhu and Ying Huanhuan, and two dazzling rays of light suddenly rose up.
The spatial passage abruptly closed and vanished, leaving the world empty. Xiao Ling, Ling Qingzhu, and Ying Huanhuan had completely disappeared from this world, leaving no trace.
Seeing Xiao Ling and his group leave suddenly, all the sect leaders present looked bewildered, unsure of what to do. They all turned their gazes to Ying Xuanzi, who was the strongest person in the room.
Since that mysterious powerhouse has no intention of taking control of the alliance, it now seems that Ying Xuanzi is the most suitable candidate to lead everyone. Everyone has personally witnessed his strength; he is a genuine Reincarnation Realm expert, enough to command respect. In fact, the major sects of the Eastern Xuan Region have always maintained a sworn brotherhood of mutual assistance, but the Yuan Sect's previous targeting of the Dao Sect has made the atmosphere within the alliance increasingly tense, and many minor grudges have accumulated between the sects.
But now, with great calamity looming and the world facing the resurgence of the alien demons, all the forces are aware of the gravity of the situation and are willing to put aside their past grudges to work together to overcome the difficulties.
Now that the Yuan Sect, which had wreaked havoc on the region, has been destroyed, and Zhou Tong, the genius of the Dao Sect, has made a powerful return by rebuilding his physical body. His cultivation level far surpasses that of other geniuses of his generation. The Dao Sect has taken the opportunity to replace the Yuan Sect and firmly establish itself as the leader of the Eastern Xuan Region, and no one has any objections to this.
Moreover, Xiao Ling is the master of Ying Huanhuan, the daughter of the Dao Sect's leader. The two are closely related, and the Dao Sect will inevitably be able to cling tightly to this supreme giant in the future.
Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity naturally filled other sects with anticipation, who wanted to seize the chance to strengthen their ties and secure a stable foothold in the future.
With this in mind, someone immediately took the lead in making a suggestion, and the rest of the crowd echoed in agreement, creating a lively atmosphere.
Under these circumstances, even Ying Xuanzi couldn't help but hesitate. He was still thinking about Xiao Ling and wanted to go and ask for his opinion, but he couldn't find him anywhere.
However, he had no objection to Daozong taking the lead in the Eastern Xuan Domain Alliance. This move would naturally expand Daozong's influence and solidify its position, which would be of great benefit to Daozong.
He did not make a hasty decision on the spot, but instead extended an invitation to all the sect leaders present, asking them to come to the Dao Sect on a chosen day to discuss the matter in detail. At the same time, he ordered someone to send a fast message to all the other sects in the Eastern Xuan Region, inviting them to gather at the Dao Sect to discuss the alliance plan and establish a series of rules for everyone to work together to resist the enemy and fight against the alien demons in the future chaos.
……
The Chaotic Demon Sea is the most expansive and complex sea area in the Tianxuan Continent, surrounded by countless seas of all sizes.
The Tianfeng Sea is located in the northwest corner of the Chaotic Demon Sea. It is a well-known and important place in the sea, with a strong foundation of powerful forces within its borders.
This place is a gathering place for powerful individuals and a home of numerous sects and families. Among them, the two great grotto-heavens and the five great families are the most renowned.
Evil Wind Cave and Qiankun Cave are known as the two great powers, not only firmly ranking among the top in the Tianfeng Sea, but also renowned far and wide in the vast Chaotic Demon Sea.
Both masters of the two grotto-heavens are genuine experts at the Reincarnation Realm, with cultivation foundations comparable to the seven super sects of the Eastern Xuan Region. Looking across the entire Tianxuan Continent, they can also be considered among the strongest in their respective regions.
Besides the two great grotto-heavens, there are five ancient and deeply rooted families: the Wei family, the Gu family, the Su family, the Zhu family, and the Shentu family. These five families occupy their respective regions, their power deeply intertwined, and their strongest members have already reached the Death Profound Realm, making them a force to be reckoned with.
The Chaotic Demon Sea is a place of constant warfare and utter chaos. Even though the Heavenly Wind Sea has two grotto-heavens and five great families that hold sway over the surrounding areas, countless forces, large and small, still occupy its territory.
Although many small and medium-sized forces are not as famous as the five great families, they each have their own strengths and hidden advantages, and their combat power is not to be underestimated.
Xuanling Island is a relatively unknown and low-profile island in the Tianfeng Sea.
At this moment, the setting sun hangs low in the sky, like a warm lamp suspended in the heavens, its gentle glow pouring down and softly covering the entire Xuanling Island.
Deep within the island, the deep, powerful roars of monstrous beasts rose and fell, echoing and reverberating, adding a touch of wild and ferocious aura to this tranquil island.
Xuanling Mountain is the most majestic and imposing main peak within the territory of Xuanling Island.
This mountain rises thousands of feet high, its peaks piercing the sea of clouds and the sky. Layers of misty clouds swirl around its waist, obscuring the view of the world and completely concealing the scenery at the summit, adding to its endless mystery and seclusion.
Swish!Swish!
Two lithe figures lightly touched the tree trunks with their toes, and using the momentum of the trees, they suddenly soared into the air, instantly breaking through layers of deep and dense forest, and landed steadily in an open area in the mountains.
A lush and vibrant scene unfolds before your eyes, with a vast lake stretching out at the edge of the dense forest.
This lake is vast and expansive, its surface shimmering with light. A gentle breeze ripples across the still water, creating layers of delicate ripples that spread out slowly, creating a tranquil and serene atmosphere.
"Phew... This is the deepest part of Xuanling Mountain."
Lin Qingtan, who had shed some of her childishness and blossomed into a graceful young woman, gazed at the clear lake before her with a slight gleam in her eyes and whispered softly.
A petite figure quickly caught up.
Compared to Lin Qingtan, whose appearance and temperament have become increasingly charming, Jiang Yinyin, despite her rapid progress in cultivation and steady increase in strength, has not changed much in terms of figure and appearance, and remains delicate, innocent and petite.
When Xiao Ling set off for the Chaotic Demon Sea, he only took these two little girls with him.
Ying Huanhuan and Ling Qingzhu were in seclusion, focusing on breaking through the barriers to their cultivation level, and had no time to leave, so they did not come here together.
"It seems like there's some rare and precious treasure hidden there..."
Jiang Yinyin's gaze swept quickly across the lakeside, her eyes suddenly brightening as she exclaimed softly in surprise.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtan immediately followed her gaze to the center of the lake. There, floating in the middle of the lake, was a verdant island. From the heart of the island, a strange, shimmering light rose from the ground, drifting and swirling, radiating spiritual energy.
"That is the Life-Giving Mystic Fruit."
Just then, Xiao Ling's voice suddenly rang out softly from behind the two women, and his figure appeared silently.
"The Life-Giving Profound Spirit Fruit?! It's actually a top-tier spiritual fruit that can help Nirvana Realm cultivators break through their shackles and step into the Life Profound Realm!"
Lin Qingtan had clearly heard of this treasure's great reputation before. Upon hearing this, her beautiful eyes widened suddenly, filled with amazement and surprise.
This Life-Giving Mystic Fruit arrived at just the right time.
With Qingtan and Yinyin's current cultivation level, they are stuck at the peak of the Nirvana Realm. However, with the help of the Life-Giving Profound Spirit Fruit, they will be able to smoothly step into the Life Profound Realm. (End of Chapter)
