"Kid, stop looking. If it really comes down to it, just marry her and bring her home. You'll have plenty of time to look then."
Little Marten, perched on Lin Dong's shoulder, looked at him teasingly, his eyes full of amusement, chuckling mischievously, making Lin Dong even more uncomfortable.
"On this point, Marten Lord thinks you're much better than that monster from your clan. Tsk tsk, doesn't understand the joys of life. Such a top-quality beauty, and that guy actually doesn't want her. And that Reincarnator's sister is also a top-tier beauty, tsk tsk!"
Little Marten said, shaking his head and sighing, his expression full of regret, making Lin Dong's expression strange.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Let's go down and take a look first. As for Qian Qian... we'll talk about it later!"
Lin Dong didn't know how to handle it. This kind of thing, well, it didn't seem right to learn from the Young Clan Leader. Helpless, he could only shake his head and not think about those things.
"Let's go, go down and take a look!"
With the help of Little Marten, the group of one man, one marten, and one tiger quickly descended into the depths of the earth. The next moment, Lin Dong and Little Marten's gazes focused directly on the stone pillar in the middle of the altar.
The entire empty altar was now devoid of anything, except for a vortex on the stone pillar in the very center, leading to an unknown destination.
Standing in the altar, Lin Dong felt the movement in his Niwan Palace, as if a faint sense of summoning was coming from the vortex. Seeing this, Lin Dong gritted his teeth and stepped directly into it.
"Ancestral Stone power? You've seen the Ancestral Stone?"
Compared to the Supreme Force that could be cultivated with inheritance, the Black Eyes Old Man was clearly more interested in the Ancestral Stone, the second-ranked divine object personally refined by the Symbol Ancestor.
"I've seen it. The Ancestral Stone already has an owner and is in the Ancient Tablet. However, the spirit of the Ancestral Stone has not yet awakened."
Lin Xuan responded softly, causing a bit of hearty laughter to appear in the Black Eyes Old Man's eyes, as he chuckled and said.
"It's good that it has an owner, which means that my Tianxuan Continent still has outstanding talents. By the way, you came here for the Devouring Ancestor Symbol, right? It's a pity that the Ancestor Symbol was taken away three years ago."
"Lin Xuan has not come here for the Devouring Ancestor Symbol, but to seek guidance from the senior!"
Lin Xuan once again cupped his fist in salute to the Black Eyes Old Man, and said softly, causing the Black Eyes Old Man to reveal a hint of surprise.
"Not here for the Devouring Ancestor Symbol?"
The Devouring Ancestor Symbol, one of the eight great Ancestor Symbols in the world, how precious is it? Its power is immeasurable, and its mystery is infinite. How could anyone not want such a divine object that countless people dream of?
"The Ancestor Symbol is also born from the Dao of Heaven and Earth. In that case, why should Lin Xuan abandon the near and seek the far?"
After hearing Lin Xuan's explanation, the Black Eyes Old Man's expression became a bit more solemn. Looking at Lin Xuan, who was calm and exuded a firm determination, he then laughed loudly.
"Haha, good! Good! Good! What a 'abandon the near and seek the far'! Compared to you, even I am ashamed of myself! With such comprehension, such temperament, and such perseverance, perhaps my Tianxuan Continent will once again welcome a Symbol Ancestor, or even surpass the Symbol Ancestor, and save the world from fire and water!"
"I dare not claim to save the world. Lin Xuan has received the grace of heaven and earth and the blessings of all things. I can only do my best to eliminate demons, and whether I succeed or fail, I can only live up to this heart!"
Faced with the Black Eyes Old Man's praise, Lin Xuan did not show too much excitement, but responded softly, telling him everything he thought in his heart.
He would not deceive a respectable elder, let alone deceive a hero who had given his life for the sake of the world and its people.
"Haha, well said, well said, hahahaha! To think that as my wisp of remnant soul is about to dissipate, I can still see new hope. It can be considered that I have not failed the grace of the sect and the virtue of the common people."
The hearty laughter echoed over the endless wilderness, not like the sound of an old man with white hair and beard, but more like a spirited young man, full of an impassioned fighting spirit and enthusiasm.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, the laughter stopped, and the Black Eyes Old Man glanced into the distance, his eyes carrying a hint of determination. A majestic aura instantly rose from the Black Eyes Old Man's body, sweeping towards the surroundings.
Above the desolate plains, just as Lin Dong was curiously observing this mysterious wilderness, he suddenly felt an immense aura descending, instantly pinning him to the ground.
Just as Lin Dong was stunned by the fall, the Mysterious Stone Talisman within him suddenly emitted a warm and pure energy, directly neutralizing the aura pressing down on Lin Dong.
"Oh!"
The Black Eyes Old Man exclaimed in surprise, turning his head to look at Lin Xuan beside him, who nodded slightly, resolving the Black Eyes Old Man's confusion.
"Good, good, good, to think that my lifelong wish, Black Eyes, is fulfilled today, I can die without regrets, hahaha!"
Lin Dong had just gotten up from the ground when he heard a hearty laugh echoing in his ears. The next moment, before Lin Dong could see clearly, a mysterious force struck, and then, the surrounding scenery changed.
By the time Lin Dong reacted, he was already in front of the Black Eyes Old Man, who glanced at Lin Dong with a smile, then turned his gaze to Little Marten on Lin Dong's shoulder, and said with a chuckle.
"A little fellow of the Sky Demon Marten Clan, one of the overlords of the Demon Continent, to think I would have the chance to see one."
"Hehe, hello!"
Little Marten chuckled dryly and waved his claws, looking obedient, which made Lin Dong take another look at Little Marten. In his memory, Little Marten had only been this cowardly when facing the Young Clan Leader and the Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Great Purity Palace.
Thinking of the Young Clan Leader, Lin Dong suddenly realized something, turned his head to look, and seeing Lin Xuan standing aside, quickly greeted him softly.
"Young Clan Leader!"
"You really did come."
Lin Xuan nodded lightly in response, not surprised by Lin Dong's appearance. Fate would provide guidance.
The Black Eyes Old Man withdrew his gaze from Little Marten and looked at Lin Dong, the owner of the Ancestral Stone who was unaware of anything, and then glanced at Lin Xuan, who was familiar with him. He was not surprised that Lin Xuan could sense the power of the Ancestral Stone, obviously knowing Lin Dong.
"Little fellow, you came for the Devouring Ancestor Symbol, didn't you?"
After hearing the Black Eyes Old Man's question, Lin Dong finally reacted, raised his hand, clasped his fist in a salute to the Black Eyes Old Man, and said respectfully.
"Uh, yes, this junior Lin Dong, greets senior!"
"Your Natal Spirit Talisman has a familiar aura, it should be a talisman created by imprinting the Devouring Ancestor Symbol, so it is also related to the Devouring Ancestor Symbol."
The Black Eyes Old Man said to Lin Dong with a chuckle, then shook his head with regret.
"Logically speaking, I should pass the Devouring Ancestor Symbol to you, but unfortunately, the Devouring Ancestor Symbol has already been taken!"
