Chapter 131: The Ninth Floor of the Symbol Tower, Lin Dong's Shock
As Lin Yan's previously used Life Transformation Azure Wave gradually dissipated, a strong energy dispersed in the air. Lin Dong, on the other side, finally snapped out of his stunned state.
Instead of standing there dumbfounded, he quickly walked forward and couldn't help but ask Lin Yan ahead, "Brother Lin Yan, what you just used was the second layer of the Life Transformation Formation, the Azure Wave?"
Lin Yan smiled and nodded at Lin Dong, "Yes, that's right."
Lin Dong's face became increasingly astonished.
After all, even though he had seen it with his own eyes before, he had only caught a glimpse of the end. So deep down, Lin Dong was still comforting himself, wondering if he had misjudged it. However, after Lin Yan's admission, everything changed.
Since Lin Yan had confessed, the matter was confirmed, which greatly shocked Lin Dong.
Thinking about this, Lin Dong couldn't help but twitch his mouth and asked Lin Yan, "Furthermore, did you break through your Symbol Master level again? Have you reached the Four-Seal level?"
Lin Yan continued to smile and nodded, "Yes, I just broke through."
Lin Dong could only give a bitter smile, not knowing what to say for a while.
He had thought that his breakthrough this time was significant, and he should be able to close the gap between him and Brother Lin Yan. But from the current situation, it seemed that their gap hadn't narrowed; instead, it had widened.
This made Lin Dong feel a bit depressed. At this rate, when would he be able to catch up to Brother Lin Yan?
"What's wrong? That expression of yours?"
"How's your cultivation going? Did you break through?"
Lin Yan asked curiously, obviously not thinking that his cultivation speed was too abnormal.
Lin Dong could only spread his hands and reply, "Don't mention it, Brother Lin Yan. In terms of Symbol Master level, I've only reached the Third Seal from the Second Seal."
"As for the Avatar Formation, I've only learned the first layer."
Lin Yan said with some puzzlement, "Isn't that pretty good? You've made significant progress."
But Lin Dong was unenthusiastic, "I thought so too, but compared to your achievements, it's nothing."
"It seems like reaching the Four-Seal level is still a distant dream for me, and as for the second layer of the Avatar Formation, I don't know when I'll learn it. Brother Lin Yan, how did you cultivate? How did you progress so quickly?"
Lin Dong said with some doubt, sometimes feeling like they were practicing different things. Why was it so slow and difficult for him, while Brother Lin Yan found it as easy as eating and drinking? This really made Lin Dong feel somewhat difficult to understand.
"Hehe, it's all about the same. I'm just a little faster," Lin Yan replied with a dry laugh.
"Only a little faster?"
"A little faster my foot!"
"It's not even the same level!"
But at this moment, he was too powerless to argue.
After all, it wasn't the first time he had encountered such a setback.
So for Lin Dong now, he accepted it very quickly.
"Alright, let's not talk about it. Let's go to the ninth floor."
"We finally reached the eighth floor. It would be a waste not to take a look at the ninth floor."
Lin Yan quickly said to Lin Dong.
Hearing Lin Yan's words, Lin Dong nodded at him. Then, he followed behind him, heading towards the mental barrier leading to the ninth floor.
As the mental barrier of the ninth floor of the Symbol Tower, the resistance it brought naturally was stronger than that of the eighth floor. Therefore, as Lin Yan and Lin Dong approached, a strong repulsive force surged towards them.
This force continuously pushed against them from behind, trying to push them out of the mental barrier. If Lin Yan and Lin Dong's strength were insufficient, they might not only be pushed back by this mental force, but even their physical bodies might be damaged.
However, Lin Yan had already become a Four-Seal Symbol Master. In this situation, he wasn't afraid at all. He didn't even bother to activate the Chaotic Spirit Rune, instead directly manipulating his own mental power to collide with it, quickly smashing the mental barrier in front of him.
Then, with a calm face, he walked up to the ninth floor. As for Lin Dong behind him, he closely followed suit. However, at this moment, Lin Dong couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
"Is this the power of a Four-Seal Symbol Master?"
"So powerful!"
Clearly, even Lin Dong felt quite surprised after sensing Lin Yan's powerful mental force.
He could guarantee that if he had faced that mental barrier just now, the result would probably have been the same as that of the mental barrier. This was the weight of a Four-Seal Symbol Master, terrifying!
Finally, the two of them reached the ninth floor of the Symbol Tower.
However, compared to the eighth floor of the Symbol Tower, the ninth floor was obviously smaller in size. There was a lot of dust piled up on the ground, making it look messy compared to the lower floors of the tower.
Lin Yan carefully scanned the ninth floor, and finally, his gaze stopped on the walls on both sides.
He found numerous patterns on them. These patterns were quite obscure, but after Lin Yan examined them, he discovered that these strange ancient patterns emitted peculiar mental power fluctuations.
"Is that it?"
"Hmph!"
Lin Yan immediately activated the Chaotic Spirit Rune in his body. Suddenly, an ancient and primitive aura surged out from his body.
Affected by this aura, the strange runes on the wall began to move, and eventually, they turned into two strange runes floating in the air. On one side of the runes, two ancient characters began to glow.
"Ancestral Symbols!"
"What are those?"
Lin Dong recognized these two characters, but he had no understanding of Ancestral Symbols, so he was at a loss.
"In this plane, Symbol Masters condense their mental power into their main spiritual symbols, each with countless levels. But the most powerful ones are Ancestral Symbols."
"Because Ancestral Symbols are not created by humans but condensed from the rules of heaven and earth. Each Ancestral Symbol has the power to reach the sky. Those who possess Ancestral Symbols are at least one of the best in this plane."
Lin Yan knew quite a bit about Ancestral Symbols, so after hearing Lin Dong's question, he directly explained what he knew to Lin Dong.
"Are these Ancestral Symbols so powerful?"
"Does that mean there are two Ancestral Symbols here?"
