Chapter 156 Receiving the Reward, A Coincidence in the Monster Mountain Range
[Ding! Martial Ancestor Lin Dong's portrayal level has reached 10%. Rewards: Heavenly Martial Arts, Azure Dragon Transformation Technique, one Heavenly Dragon Qi, and the Devouring Ancestral Symbol of the Eight Ancestral Symbols!]
Hearing the system notification in his mind, Lin Dong felt a surge of joy.
For him, increasing his role level is the fastest way to improve his strength.
On this Dou Qi Continent, he was most familiar with Xiao Yan's story. Naturally, he could also use him when needed to advance the plot and realize his own ambition of increasing his role's influence.
Now that he has obtained the Burning Technique, he can hand it over to his new clone.
And he, naturally, was on the path of martial arts cultivation, which was based on Yuan energy.
Lin Dong, still preoccupied with the reward in his mind, walked over to Xiao Yan and said to him:
"Brother Huo Huo, with Yao Lao's help, you will find your own path smoothly."
Seeing what was happening, Xiao Yan realized something and asked somewhat anxiously, "Brother, are you leaving?"
Although he and Lin Dong had only met recently, Lin Dong had shown him a great deal of care and help.
Xiao Yan kept all these things in his heart.
At this moment, Xiao Yan realized that he didn't even have anything to offer as a token of gratitude.
"You have your path, and I have mine." Lin Dong nodded and said, "We'll meet again when the time comes. I'm still waiting to go to the Yunlan Sect to see about your three-year agreement!"
Xiao Yan opened his mouth and said earnestly, "Brother, thank you!"
Lin Dong patted him on the shoulder and called out to Shen Cui, who was standing beside him, "Shen Cui, let's go."
Shen Cui embraced Lin Dong and flew away into the distance.
Xiao Yan kept staring at the two figures until they disappeared from sight.
The old man, Yao Lao, had somehow emerged from the ring again and landed beside Xiao Yan. Looking at the distant mountains, he softly said:
"I have a feeling that the next time you see him, he will be very, very powerful."
"If you don't want to fall behind, you have to work hard to cultivate yourself in order to catch up with him."
A fiery glint appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes as he resolutely declared, "Teacher, train me using your fastest and most powerful methods!"
……
Led by Shen Cui, Lin Dong returned to the courtyard.
After closing the door to the courtyard, he ordered Shen Cui to act as his protector, and then returned to the house to prepare to receive his reward.
[Ding! Martial Ancestor Lin Dong's portrayal level has reached 1%. Reward: one cultivation empowerment and the Desolate Scripture (first time practicing, automatically condense the Desolate Force Seed)]
After glancing at the reward, Lin Dong felt a surge of anticipation. Just how far could this cultivation empowerment take him?
Without further hesitation, he directly communicated with the system, "System, claim the 1% reward for my role-playing performance."
[Cultivation empowerment activated...]
Lin Dong felt a blur before his eyes and found himself in a mysterious space.
Before him stood a towering man.
The man's face was resolute, his expression deep and imposing, his aura majestic, as steady and reserved as a mountain.
He stood with his hands behind his back, clad in a long, dark purple robe. In one hand he held the Thunder Emperor's Scepter, which crackled with lightning. Each flash of lightning brought with it a thunderous roar that shook the heavens and the earth. Around him, vast spiritual energy surged, sometimes transforming into ice, sometimes into a sea of fire, lightning, darkness... an incredibly mysterious and wondrous force.
Upon seeing this man, Lin Dong narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured, "Lin Dong, the Martial Ancestor of the Great Thousand Worlds?"
Just then, the imposing man pointed his finger, causing the sky to tremble and the Yuan energy in the mysterious space to surge and churn, before transforming into a stream of light that flowed into his body.
"hiss!!"
The surge of this violent energy caused him to feel a tearing pain throughout his body, as if someone were cutting his flesh piece by piece with a dull knife.
What is obtained too easily will never be cherished.
Lin Dong gritted his teeth, enduring the violent influx of energy.
Under this infusion, his own cultivation level began to increase rapidly.
At the same time, with each breakthrough in a realm, the pain that Martial Ancestor Lin Dong experienced in that corresponding realm all manifested in him.
His own clone was crafted from countless precious natural materials, and its physical strength had reached a terrifying level.
Moreover, the souls of these clones have been tempered in the three wondrous and mysterious places of Danghun Mountain, Luopo Valley, and Anhun Lake, and their soul foundation has also reached the level of ten thousand souls.
If Danghun Mountain hadn't run out of souls to supply the production of the Gallstone Gu, their soul strength would have been even higher.
It was precisely because of this combination of physical and spiritual strength that Lin Dong was able to endure the accumulated pain when he infused energy into his body.
When Martial Ancestor Lin Dong broke through his realm, he suffered considerable pain.
But now, it's all erupting at once on him.
The path of cultivation is to steal Yin and Yang, seize creation, undergo Nirvana, grasp life and death, and control reincarnation.
Under such unbearable pain, his cultivation level rose rapidly from the Body Tempering Realm, as if he were riding a rocket.
He progressed through the Earth Origin Realm, Heaven Origin Realm, Yuan Dan Realm, Form Creation Realm, and Qi Creation Realm, eventually reaching the Creation Realm before finally stagnating.
"Shh! Shh!"
Even in this mysterious space, Lin Dong couldn't help but gasp for breath.
He looked up at the imposing man in the distance, only to see the man's figure thinning out. Within the entire mysterious space, the elemental energy seemed to dissipate considerably.
In fact, this was merely a reward for achieving a 1% success rate in his role-playing, which was insufficient for him to break through to the Creation Realm.
However, this time, the cultivation infusion depends entirely on how much pain he can endure when Martial Ancestor Lin Dong breaks through his realm.
The accumulated pain is so intense that even if one perseveres to break through to the Yuan Dan realm, it is already a tremendous success.
Although Lin Dong is Ye Ming's clone and his personality is different from the original, he has experienced just as much pain.
It was the combination of various factors that allowed him to endure until he reached the Creation Realm.
It wasn't that he couldn't bear it anymore; it was that he had completely drained the entire space of its energy.
The imposing man who had imparted his power also vanished into the mysterious space.
Only then did Lin Dong breathe a sigh of relief, lying sprawled on the ground, letting the ever-flowing Yuan energy within him nourish his body and restore his mental and physical exhaustion.
Just then, the space in front of him began to dissipate, and Lin Dong returned to his bed in his small courtyard.
After the excruciating pain subsided, the rich Yuan energy of the Creation Realm within him naturally circulated, repairing his fatigue.
This comfortable feeling caused him to fall asleep without realizing it, even though he had reached his limit.
[Reward: Desolate Scripture (First-time practitioner, will automatically condense a Desolate Energy Seed)...]
Even as he fell into a deep sleep, the system's rewards continued to be distributed. The cultivation technique reward was directly imprinted into the depths of his soul, and in order to condense the Desolate Energy Seed, the cultivation technique began to operate on its own.
As he activated the Desolate Technique, a terrifying desolate power emanated from him, spreading outwards to the surrounding courtyard.
Flowers and plants wither, and humans and animals die out.
Countless life essences converged into his body, quietly elevating him.
Outside, after sensing that special fluctuation, Shen Cui immediately hid in the void, not daring to resist this desolate power.
The area affected by this desolate power grew wider and wider. Many living beings were encompassed within it and were completely dissolved by the desolate power before they could even struggle. The dissolved power transformed into a rich life force that nourished Lin Dong.
At this moment, Lin Dong's previously stagnant realm grew again, breaking through the original shackles of the Creation Realm, completing the sublimation of the essence of life, and stepping into the One Yuan Nirvana Realm.
"Ah~"
The next morning, Lin Dong stretched and felt the surge of power within him, a smile spreading across his face.
"This technique is indeed powerful. The first time I used it, it directly allowed me to enter the Nirvana Realm."
Lin Dong pondered. He was unaware of the commotion last night. As for the lives lost, he could only offer a silent apology.
Feeling the growing power within his body, Lin Dong was even more excited about the rewards to come.
"System, claim your 5% reward."
[Spiritual Martial Arts, Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger, being distributed...]
The Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger can be considered the signature martial art of Martial Ancestor Lin Dong.
In fact, this Great Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Finger technique was originally only at the peak of the ninth rank martial art. But it was only after the five fingers were merged that the Great Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Palm was formed, which truly possessed the power of a spiritual martial art.
He had been eagerly anticipating this spiritual martial art for a long time.
The space before him shifted again, and Lin Dong found himself in a boundless desert.
"Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger: Half a finger can shake heaven and earth."
An ancient voice echoed in his mind, and in an instant, the wind and clouds before his eyes changed dramatically.
Above the sky, a gigantic finger, hundreds of feet long, pressed down with fierce power.
The wind howled, and sandstorms swept across the desert.
In mid-air, the hundred-foot-long giant finger rapidly changed and underwent various transformations!
One finger imprisons heaven and earth! Two fingers shatter mountains and rivers! Three fingers annihilate living beings! Four fingers shatter the firmament! Five fingers shake the universe!
Five fingers merge, Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Palm!!
A gigantic palm, thousands of feet long, crashed down, and the entire space shattered inch by inch in that instant.
The cultivation method of the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger also appeared in Lin Dong's mind.
Back on the bed, Lin Dong felt the domineering power of the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger in his mind, and even felt a little eager to try it out.
However, Lin Dong suppressed his excitement and continued to collect the rewards.
"System, claim the 10% role-playing progress reward."
[Rewards: Azure Dragon Transformation Technique and Heavenly Dragon Qi, currently being distributed...]
The space before him shifted again, but Lin Dong was already used to it.
This time, he entered a dragon pool filled with the aura of a celestial dragon, where a thousand-foot-long azure dragon roared and soared.
With the help of the Heavenly Dragon Qi from the reward, he also successfully stepped into the first realm of the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique: Azure Dragon Skin!
The Azure Dragon Transformation Technique is a celestial martial art that is divided into five stages, enabling humans to cultivate their bodies to rival those of true dragons.
The first stage involves using the energy of the Heavenly Dragon to begin cultivating the Azure Dragon Skin. The second stage is Azure Dragon Scales, which provide even stronger defense. The third stage involves the growth of wings on the back. The fourth stage transforms the body into that of an Azure Dragon, condensing azure dragon patterns. The fifth stage is the final stage, requiring entry into the ancient Dragon Transformation Pool of the Dragon Clan to condense dragon bones before true success can be achieved.
Lin Dong took a deep breath. Even with his vast spiritual foundation, the successive rewards still caused a slight sense of disorientation in his soul.
However, in just a moment, he cleared all the abnormalities from his mind.
With its most powerful form, it will welcome the most precious reward among all rewards: the Devouring Ancestral Symbol!
This Devouring Ancestral Symbol controls the power of devouring, absorbing and refining all things. It has a multiplier effect on cultivation, and the holder of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol can even absorb other Ancestral Symbols by relying on its devouring power.
[The Devouring Ancestral Symbol, one of the eight Ancestral Symbols, is being distributed...]
"Boom!"
A violent storm suddenly arose in Lin Dong's sea of souls, and an extremely mysterious purple rune appeared within it.
The moment the rune appeared, a dense devouring power erupted, as if it were about to devour everything around it.
If the original Devouring Ancestral Symbol had appeared in the Sea of Souls, everything Lin Dong had would have been devoured and completely annihilated by it.
But this rune was a system reward, so it belonged to him.
With a thought, Lin Dong imprinted his soul power onto the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, grabbed it, and refined it in an instant!
"Buzz!!"
After the Devouring Ancestral Symbol trembled for a while, it returned to complete calm.
At this point, Lin Dong had completely absorbed all the rewards he had received.
Feeling the surging power within him, Lin Dong couldn't help but feel an irresistible urge to fight.
Now that he has mastered these powers, he naturally needs to use combat to familiarize himself with them as soon as possible.
He opened the courtyard gate and saw Shen Cui still dutifully guarding the outside.
Lin Dong waved his hand and opened the gate to the Fox Immortal Paradise, saying, "Shen Cui, you should go in and cultivate first."
"I want to go to the mainland and hone my skills myself."
To Shen Cui, Lin Dong and Ye Ming were the same.
"Yes, young master!" Shen Cui nodded and stepped directly into the Fox Fairy Blessed Land.
After Lin Dong closed the portal, a pair of extremely beautiful fire and lightning wings suddenly grew from his back.
With a flap of his wings, he soared into the sky and flew towards the distant Monster Mountain Range.
In fact, having entered the Nirvana Realm, he already possessed the ability to walk on air.
However, in the Dou Qi Continent, only Dou Zong level experts can achieve this level.
So he simply used his Yuan energy to condense a pair of fake battle aura wings to slightly conceal his true nature.
The Monster Mountain Range is home to many high-level magical beasts, including many fifth and sixth-tier beasts. It's a perfect opportunity to hone your skills!
Lin Dong's flying speed is very fast now. In the time it takes to drink a few cups of tea, he flew from Wutan City to the center of the Monster Mountain Range.
Even after arriving at the Monster Mountain Range, Lin Dong still did not conceal his aura.
He is currently looking for a powerful high-level magical beast to hone his skills.
"Tsk, these magical beasts are a bit cowardly!"
"I've been wandering around here for quite a while now, and not a single flying magical beast has come."
Shaking his head, Lin Dong simply lowered himself down, flying close to the top of the trees, creating an opportunity for the magical beasts in the mountains to attack.
In fact, magical beasts have an innate sense of danger. This is also the skill they rely on for survival.
Lin Dong had just broken through, and his cultivation had not yet been fully integrated. The terrifying aura emanating from his body made these hidden demonic beasts realize that he was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
They are magical beasts, not idiots. Why would they rush in and court death?
After searching for a while without finding a single magical beast, Lin Dong simply spread out his terrifying soul power to search for high-level magical beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
A moment later, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he abruptly dashed off in one direction.
A few minutes later, Lin Dong arrived at the foot of a mountain peak and leisurely looked at the huge cave in front of him.
"Tap tap!"
A muffled sound came from the cave, and a magical beast that was seven or eight meters long slowly walked out of the cave.
It was covered with a layer of purple crystals, which shone brightly in the sunlight, exuding an air of nobility.
The monster's head was a rather ferocious lion's head, with blood-red eyes that shimmered with a strange purple light, and a huge mouth full of fangs.
Above the lion's head is a fiery red spiral horn, with clusters of purple flames swirling and circling around its tip.
The enormous lion had a pair of purple wings on its side, and as the wings flapped, pale purple flames swept out.
A sixth-tier magical beast comparable to a Dou Huang level being, the Amethyst Winged Lion King!
"Human, why do you dare disturb my rest?"
Suddenly, the Amethyst Winged Lion King spoke in human language and asked Lin Dong a question.
Monsters are generally much stronger than humans of the same level.
In addition, the Amethyst Winged Lion King himself possesses formidable trump cards.
Although it couldn't see through the human boy in front of it who could transform his battle qi into wings, it figured that the other party was at most at the Dou Huang level.
This is almost an unspoken rule on this continent: judge a strong person by their wings and aura.
Even if the opponent is a Dou Huang, it has no fear.
The moment the Amethyst Winged Lion King opened its mouth, the sky and clouds changed color.
Lin Dong, who was in the distance, was surrounded by surging Yuan energy. He pointed directly at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.
"Boom!!"
A terrifying sound rang out, and half of a giant finger emerged from the clouds, seemingly intent on destroying everything, as it roared away.
At this moment, Lin Dong's voice finally drifted out.
"I'll fight!"
"The Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger, even half a finger can shake heaven and earth!"
……
Inside the Monster Mountain Range.
Xu Qi'an, dressed in blue and holding a scholar's fan, was walking through the forest with Xiao Yixian.
The second- and third-tier magical beasts that happened to appear on the road were about to attack the two when they found that their bodies were suddenly shrinking and their cultivation was getting weaker and weaker.
Xu Qi'an walked leisurely ahead, and no magical beast could get within ten meters of the two of them.
Little Fairy Doctor looked at the handsome man before her, feeling utterly astonished. Even though she had witnessed him use this technique many times, she still couldn't understand what kind of power it was.
It wasn't fighting spirit, nor poison; it was as if this handsome man before them could manipulate time.
"Little Fairy Doctor, do you know what time it is?" Xu Qi'an, who was in front, suddenly turned his head and stared at Little Fairy Doctor with a serious expression.
Little Fairy Doctor looked at the incredibly handsome face before her, her ears quickly turning red. Suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, she glanced at the sky and replied, "It should be a quarter past 9 AM now!"
Xu Qi'an shook his head and looked at Little Fairy Doctor with a serious expression, saying, "No, this is the starting point of our journey to happiness."
Little Fairy Doctor's cheeks turned bright red. She lowered her head and snorted, "Young Master Xu is talking nonsense again."
"Let's hurry up and leave. If Wan Yao Zhai finds out I'm not here, they'll have to look for me again."
Xu Qi'an quickly caught up, smiling as he said, "How about the suggestion I made before? I'll help you solve those troubles, and you can come with me to explore the Central Continent."
Little Fairy Doctor hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Let's go check out that cave first."
After spending the last few days together, Little Fairy Doctor had come to understand Xu Qi'an's feelings and knew that he was a good person.
But her body...
Seeing the other person's appearance, Xu Qi'an was not annoyed. He took a few steps and followed in the other person's footsteps.
He knew what Little Fairy Doctor was worried about, but this problem might be troublesome for others. However, it wasn't a big problem for him.
Since Little Fairy Doctor craves power, then he will let her obtain that power.
The two walked deeper into the grove and for a while longer when suddenly, their previously dim vision was suddenly brightened.
Looking up, we found ourselves having passed through a grove of trees and appeared on a somewhat steep cliff. Below the cliff, lush green forests stretched out, creating a beautiful scene.
Little Fairy Doctor stood on the cliff and looked around for a while. Suddenly, she pointed to the strange cliff below and said, "Young Master Xu, this is it."
"I discovered this hidden cave by chance while I was gathering herbs."
"The cave was likely left behind by someone before me, but I've never been inside. So I don't know much about the interior, but judging from some of the traces, it must be very powerful."
"This cliff is too steep; I can't get in."
After saying that, Little Fairy Doctor took out a bundle of rope from her storage ring, intending to use the rope to go down first.
"No need for that trouble."
Xu Qi'an stopped Little Fairy Doctor from doing so and took out a bamboo dragonfly, attaching it to his head.
"The rope is too slow, let me take you down."
Under the shy gaze of Little Fairy Doctor, Xu Qi'an grabbed her slender waist and flew directly towards the steep cliff in the distance.
As soon as the two flew down the cliff, a huge magical rock serpent pounced on them.
"ah!!"
Little Fairy Doctor was startled and was about to sprinkle the medicinal powder when she saw Xu Qi'an lightly tap the rock snake, which instantly froze and fell straight down the cliff.
The two successfully reached the top of the cliff. Xu Qi'an put Little Fairy Doctor down, looked at the cave in front of them that could only accommodate two or three people, and said with a smile, "Alright, we've arrived. Let's go."
The two went into the passage, and with Xu Qi'an's time power protecting them along the way, nothing unexpected happened.
Inside the cave was a stone chamber. In the center of the chamber was a chair, upon which sat a skeleton.
In front of the seat is a wide, long bluestone platform with three locked stone boxes neatly arranged on it.
Upon seeing the three stone boxes, Little Fairy Doctor smiled.
"Boom!!"
Just as the two were about to make a move, the entire cave suddenly began to shake, as if it were about to collapse.
"What's that noise!"
Xu Qi'an was still somewhat taken aback when he heard several faint sounds coming from outside.
"Human, you've gone too far!!"
"Enough talk! Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger!!"
