WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter144: Symbol of the Ancestors

"explosion!"

Waves of formidable Mental Energy were like surging waves as it swept across the eighth level of the Symbol Master Tower. Under this ferocious wave, even the pressure of Mental Energy that filled the air was forcibly dispersed.

In front of the stone tablet, Lin Dong's eyes were extremely bright like a pair of stars. It was quite a while before the brightness finally dimmed and disappeared along with the Mental Energy waves.

“Fiuh..”.

Lin Dong spewed out a ball of white Qi and stood up from the ground. When he stood up, the pressure of Mental Energy that had disappeared for over twenty days completely returned again. However, now that Lin Dong's Mental Energy had grown by leaps and bounds, the pressure of that Mental Energy only caused his shoulders to drop slightly, and was unable to restrict his body.

“It looks like it's because the Soul Symbol vortex has disappeared.”

The pressure of Mental Energy that was once again weighing down his body caused Lin Dong to be shocked. Soon after, he suddenly understood. The Vortex of Soul Symbols in his Niwan Palace had turned into three Fate Soul Symbols, and his suction power was also completely gone. This results in a return of Mental Energy pressure.

"Master Third seal symbol ..."

As he felt the pressure of the Mental Energy that was now not looking very threatening, although it used to be able to destroy him within a few inches of his life not long before, Lin Dong could not help but laugh. The third seal Symbol Master was indeed much stronger than the second seal. Or else, the current him would probably be directly pushed out of the Master Symbol Tower by the return of the Mental Energy pressure.

"My cultivation here is almost over ..." Lin Dong stretched his body. It could be said that he had quite a lot of results in the affairs of this Master Symbol Tower. Not only did he obtain the Qi class Secret Spirit Skill, most importantly, he had broken through to the third seal Symbol Master stage in less than a month. To Lin Dong, this was undoubtedly an enormous awakening.

Due to the peculiarity of Lin Dong's Fate Soul Symbol, even though he was only the third seal Symbol Master, the strength of his Mental Energy was probably comparable to an ordinary fourth seal Symbol Master. In general, the fourth seal Symbol Master was able to fight against Yuan Dan Perfect stage practitioners. Thus, Lin Dong now had the ability to exchange blows with a perfect Yuan Dan stage practitioner. Although he might not achieve victory against one, he had at least nothing to fear like before.

Although the Symbol Master Tower was an excellent cultivation ground of Mental Energy, one could not stay here forever. Being able to last for over twenty days here was already the limit of Lin Dong. Furthermore, the Vortex of Soul Symbols had now disappeared. It wouldn't be long before he would be forcefully expelled from the Symbol Master Tower by the growing pressure of Mental Energy.

“I think it's time to go.” Lin Dong muttered to himself. As he turned to leave, his moving gaze suddenly saw the Mental Energy barrier in the central area. There, the passageway to the ninth level stood.

When Lin Dong's gaze concentrated on the Mental Energy barrier, his expression began to fluctuate. He was naturally very curious about the ninth level of the Symbol Master Tower. If the eighth level had a Qi level Secret Spirit Skill, what would be on the ninth floor?

As he stood on the spot, Lin Dong hesitated for a moment. If it was said that he was not interested in the ninth level, it was a lie. However, who knew if there would be any danger within that level.

“I'll try. Since I will leave, even if I fail, at worst I will be expelled from Symbol Master Tower.”

Lin Dong hesitated for quite a while on the spot before gritting his teeth. It wasn't easy for him to reach the eighth level, it would be a waste if he didn't experience the ninth level for a while.

Since he had made his decision, Lin Dong no longer hesitated as he stepped forward and quickly walked towards the Mental Energy barrier blocking the path to the ninth level.

Although he had lost the resistive power of the Soul Symbol vortex, after Lin Dong's incredible increase in Mental Energy, he might be able to endure. So, a moment later, he arrived in front of the Mental Energy barrier. After pondering a little, he took a step forward.

“Dong!”

As Lin Dong charged into the Mental Energy barrier that led to the ninth level, a soft and low voice immediately echoed from the Mental Energy barrier. Quickly, an extremely powerful force gushed out from within and attempted to push Lin Dong's body out.

“Huh!”

When he sensed that repelling force, Lin Dong only snorted. The three Fate Soul Symbols in his Niwan Palace instantly sent out a portion of the powerful Mental Energy to withstand the might of the Mental Energy barrier.

Waves of Chaotic Mental Energy were endlessly spreading from within that Mental Energy barrier while Lin Dong's figure looked like it was frozen within the barrier. However, if one took a closer look, one would realize that he was not trapped but instead joined the Mental Energy barrier at an extremely slow speed.

Their confrontation lasted for nearly ten minutes. Although that small step seemed to be extremely small, under the fierce resistance of the Mental Energy barrier, it was ultimately very difficult to do.

"God!"

As the stalemate continued, Lin Dong became a little impatient. A light flashed in his eyes as the three Fate Soul Symbols within his Niwan Palace slightly contracted before suddenly swelling up.

"explosion!"

In the instance when some blocking force was pushed away, Lin Dong's feet took the opportunity to step forward. His figure flashed as all his traces faded away.

When Lin Dong's figure disappeared, the scene before his eyes went black for a split second before being restored in the blink of an eye as he quickly looked around.

The ninth level of the Symbol Tower was very normal. The space was very small and only extended dozens of feet or so. The floor was covered in dust, compared to the floor below it, it seemed to be very messy.

Lin Dong was also stunned for a moment by this sight. Clearly, he had not expected that the mysterious ninth level would actually look so ordinary. There seems to be nothing special about this place.

Eyebrows furrowed, Lin Dong carefully inspected the ninth level. Moments later, his gaze stopped on the tower walls on both sides. There were many patterns on this wall that looked rather faint, but after Lin Dong observed for a while, he discovered that these faint patterns seemed to form two extremely complex and ancient symbols.

The ancient symbols were so complicated that one would feel dizzy looking at them. However, each punch seemed to contain heaven and earth essence that would cause one to be involuntarily drawn in. Incredibly magical.

Lin Dong's gaze was concentrated on the symbol line on the left wall. As he concentrated fully, he suddenly realized that an ancient symbol like this image was actually emitting a weak suction force. Under that suction power, the Soul Fate Symbols in his Niwan Palace seemed to be flying towards him.

After sensing this strange situation, all the hair on Lin Dong's body stood up as he hurriedly retreated two steps. Somewhat unexpectedly, these symbols were just ordinary drawings, as if someone had used a brush to draw them on the wall casually. This was not a symbol formed by Mental Energy, how could he possibly possess such a strange ability?

"Suck strength ..."

While puzzled, Lin Dong's expression suddenly changed slightly. Quickly, he raised his head to stare at the extremely complicated symbol that seemed to show a hint of obsolescence. Previously, he had not realized that the ancient symbol on the wall was actually a little similar to the Soul Fate Symbol in his Niwan Palace!

Of course, there was only a slight resemblance. The Soul Fate Symbols in his Niwan Palace were far from as complex and vague as the ancient symbols. It was as if it had been simplified many times, causing several waves to start churning in Lin Dong's heart ...

Could there be a special connection between his Fate Soul Symbol and the ancient symbol?

When he recalled the strange ability of his Fate Soul Symbol, Lin Dong's expression turned somewhat strange. What exactly is this ancient symbol on the wall?

His expression was a little strange, he did not know why but he felt that his Fate Soul Symbol should have some connection with this ancient symbol.

"What symbol is this?" Lin Dong muttered to himself. From the looks of it, this ancient symbol seemed like a very frightening thing. Although it was drawn using a brush, it already possessed this kind of power. If a symbol like this was developed into a Symbol of Destiny, what kind of earth-destroying power would it have?

The discovery of this mysterious ancient symbol caused Lin Dong's heart to be in chaos. He had never imagined that he would actually come across this by chance when he entered the Symbol Master Tower this time around. Plus, his Fate Soul Symbol seemed to have a unique relationship with this thing.

Lin Dong pursed his lips as his eyes swept across the two ancient symbols on the wall. A split second later, his eyes suddenly concentrated in a corner of the wall, there, some barely legible handwriting could be seen. Those words seemed to have been written for a long time, so, they looked extremely vague. Lin Dong tried to identify them long enough and only managed to distinguish two words.

Ancestral symbols.

The two words were almost illegible, but, when Lin Dong identified it, he did not understand why but respect gushed from the bottom of his heart. Even the three Fate Soul Symbols in his Niwan Palace slightly shuddered.

"The Ancestral Symbol ... what is it?" Lin Dong stared at the two words while muttering to himself.

“In the heavens and earth, the Symbol Master condensed the Fate Symbol with Mental Energy. They were divided into countless tiers, but, within heaven and earth, the most formidable ones were the Ancestral Symbols. The Ancestral Symbols were not created by humans but summarized by the laws of heaven and earth. Each Ancestral Symbol had the power to open heaven. The person who possesses the Ancestral Symbol will be the strongest existence within the heavens and earth.”

While Lin Dong was confused, a familiar voice suddenly echoed in his mind. It was a little marten.

"Are you awake?" After hearing this voice, Lin Dong was shocked as he asked.

"Yes…"

On Lin Dong's shoulder, a thick shining shadow as a small marten appeared. Her tiny eyes stared at the two ancient symbols on the wall as she sighed and muttered: "I really did not expect, there will still be someone who knows about the existence of the Ancestral Symbol in a place like this......"
