WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 84: Symbol of the Ancient Vortex

Lin Dong inspected and fiddled with the Ancient Wood Beams, carefully scraping the moss on its surface while he wondered how the seller had managed to find such an item in the first place. The symbol written on it looked very blurry.

As he stared at this mostly hazy Symbol, Lin Dong furrowed his brows. Sighing, he concentrated as he gradually closed his eyes. Streams of Mental Energy emerged from his Ni Wan Palace before finally coming into contact with the Ancient Wood Block.

At the moment they made contact, the silent Ancient Wood Block suddenly shook slightly. However, no other major changes were observed.

"Something inside this Ancient Wood Block is locked by a layer of Mental Energy."

From this interaction, Lin Dong clearly sensed that the surface of this Ancient Wood Block was actually covered by a thin layer of Mental Energy. That layer of Mental Energy seemed rather weak, as if it had been placed there a long time ago.

As he pushed to test the fragility of that Mental Energy barrier, Lin Dong heaved a sigh of relief. In an instant, the Mental Energy within his Ni Wan Palace immediately responded to his call as he ruthlessly aimed a concentrated punch at the Ancient Wood Block.

"Buzz!"

While Lin Dong was trying to break through the barrier forcefully, the Ancient Wood Block suddenly let out a buzzing sound. Soon after, a soft "ka-chak" voice sounded. Immediately, streams of light began to appear on the surface of that Ancient Wood Block before it finally fused together to form a beam of light that shone directly on Lin Dong's forehead.

When the beam shone on Lin Dong's forehead, he became aware that this was a unique method of communication as information quickly gushed into his mind.

Ancient Vortex Symbol, Freezing Symbol Art.

These few words caused Lin Dong's heart to start pounding. The so-called Freezing Symbol Art was considered one of the most important steps to becoming a complete Symbol Master. That was because, only when one was able to condense his Mental Energy into a Fate Symbol could he be called a true Symbol Master!

Master Ruo of Yan City had only given the first three parts of the "Spiritual Movement Club" to Lin Dong. Although this allowed Lin Dong to start practicing Mental Energy, it did not give him the most important Freezing Symbol Art. Therefore, even though Lin Dong knew that his Mental Energy was extremely powerful, in the end, he was unable to think of himself as a Symbol Master.

Once one managed to form the Fate Symbol, it would not only greatly increase his control over Mental Energy, but also greatly strengthen his Mental Energy.

Furthermore, if the Fate Symbol was not inherited, the Summarized Symbol would be different. Some will be stronger, while others will be weaker. Sometimes, mistakes will happen. Therefore, as one trains to become a Symbol Master, having an experienced mentor will greatly improve one's progress.

However, Lin Dong currently did not have the luxury of a mentor. The only thing he could do was explore and learn on his own. So when he realized that there was a Freezing Symbol Art hidden in this ancient wooden block, he was very happy.

Slowly receiving the information, Lin Dong carefully pondered over it for half an hour before slowly opening his eyes. He seems to understand a little. After reading this "Ancient Vortex Symbol" it had cleared up many of the questions and questions he had previously about Mental Energy.

“Huff.”

As he spat out a mouthful of air, Lin Dong closed his eyes again as the Mental Energy in his Ni Wan Palace slowly began to spin.

“Swoossssss..”

As the Mental Energy in his Ni Wan Palace started to spin violently, a unique voice echoed in Lin Dong's mind.

Lin Dong had a serious expression on his face. Although this was the first time he had condensed the Fate Symbol, he had incredible confidence in his own abilities.

When that unique sound gradually resounded until Lin Dong's ears started buzzing, a light flashed in his eyes as the rotational speed of his Mental Energy became slightly unstable.

As the Mental Energy within Ni Wan Palace continued to spin at this unusual tempo, suddenly, Lin Dong faintly felt a hint of suction force appear at the center of his Mental Energy vortex.

"Deworming!"

When that gentle suction force appeared, Lin Dong opened his eyes and let out a gentle breath as he controlled the Mental Energy in his mind, forcefully compressing it!

“Buzz buzz!”

Just as the Mental Energy Swirl was gradually compressed to its limits, within her Ni Wan Palace, buzzing sounds like bees and birds appeared. The originally stable Mental Energy Swirl began to show signs of resistance.

A stern expression hung on Lin Dong's face. He knew that this moment was the most critical moment when one tried to condense the Fate Symbol. So, he couldn't make a mistake now!

"You'll condense!"

As he took a deep breath, another furious roar sounded from Lin Dong. A violent shockwave of Mental Energy erupted in his mind. Right now, inside his Ni Wan Palace, the cries of dying birds resounded from the Mental Energy Swirl. Then, violently, his Mental Energy Swirl exploded.

Just as his Mental Energy Swirl exploded, Lin Dong's eyes turned increasingly brighter.

“Buzz buzz!”

At the center of the explosion, many small rays of light suddenly appeared. This beam of light instantly connected the pieces of Mental Energy debris together before proceeding to pull it back and compress it. In the end, a mystical Symbol the size of a thumb was formed!

The symbol was formed by pieces of Mental Energy debris and it gave off a very deep feeling when one looked at it. The sensation was as if all the knowledge in Heaven and Earth were contained within this seemingly simple symbol.

When this symbol is formed, it looks very dim and opaque. However, if one took a closer look, one would realize that this Mental Energy was actually a distorted vortex. Light constantly flickered inside, like a black hole growing quietly.

“Desis hiss!

A mysterious suction force emerged from the center of that strange Symbol. All the Mental Energy debris floating in Lin Dong's Ni Wan Palace was instantly absorbed by the Symbols. Only then did the Symbol become a little bright.

“Huff..”

As the Vortex-like Symbol formed, Lin Dong's eyes opened wide. At that moment, Lin Dong could clearly sense every small movement in the Steel Wood Manor. In fact, even the soft sound of breathing could not escape his detection.

Suddenly, his hand slapped the bed as he jumped. In an instant, nine black shadows immediately flew out from his sleeves before they immediately merged together, forming an object shaped like a black sword that landed at Lin Dong's feet.

After that, by utilizing this “Fracture Yuan” Shards, Lin Dong actually managed to make his body float in midair!

Fly with the imperial train!

After he had successfully condensed the Fate Symbol, Lin Dong's mastery of Mental Energy had increased tremendously!
