Chapter 294: The Meaning of the Eight Pole Fist
Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, Lin Dong's gaze became extremely fervent. After all, this essence of demonic dragon blood was truly important to him, and he had been searching for this item for a long time.
The reason Lin Dong needed this item was because it could awaken the residual spirit of the Celestial Crocodile in his Celestial Crocodile Bone Spear. Furthermore, if used together with the Ancient Scale Spear, the power would increase at least several times.
Unfortunately, Lin Dong had never found this essence of demonic dragon blood before, but he never expected to obtain it here.
Moreover, Lin Yan had preempted them by arriving here and handing them the essence of demonic dragon blood he had just stolen.
This made Lin Dong feel grateful.
After careful consideration for many years, Lin Yan had always been helping Lin Dong improve his strength.
On the other hand, Lin Dong had rarely provided useful help to Lin Yan.
This made Lin Dong feel increasingly ashamed.
Suddenly, he turned to Lin Yan seriously and said, "Thank you, Brother Lin Yan."
Seeing this, Lin Yan felt quite helpless and said, "Oh, why bother so much? Isn't it just a small thing?"
Lin Dong smiled and didn't continue speaking. He simply looked at Lin Yan with an increasingly respectful gaze, knowing that some things didn't need to be expressed with words.
On the other hand, Lin Yan changed the subject and said, "Let's take a look at the Eight Pole Sect. There must be quite a few things there."
Lin Dong nodded. "Alright."
Lin Yan and the others moved quickly, and in a blink of an eye, they entered the dilapidated and vast stone palace.
Inside the palace, there was a great expanse, and a multitude of corridors crisscrossed, resembling a maze. The decay of the years accumulated from all directions.
Because Lin Yan appeared and killed many people, basically no one dared to approach this place, so it hadn't been looted.
On the way, Lin Yan and the others also obtained many Nirvana Pills, but they didn't even find a single Wheel of Life and Death Pill.
After almost completely looting the outer area, they headed towards the direction of the main hall. Lin Yan had already looted all the Nirvana Pills on the way to the main hall, so about ten minutes later, they arrived at the main hall.
However, when they arrived at the main hall, they all stood stupefied in their places because they saw that the main hall was completely empty. Originally, they thought they might get something good there, but now it seemed impossible.
Lin Yan's gaze swept across the entire main hall without finding any objects. The only thing there was a stone block standing not far from them.
Wait, a stone block?
Lin Yan and the others were surprised for a moment before they walked up to the stone block. This stone block wasn't very imposing, but its simple presence radiated a shocking sensation.
And on the stone block, there were battle marks. Lin Dong's gaze fell on three rather peculiar things: a palm print, a fist print, and a black emblem.
Lin Yan, in just a few moments of observation, discovered the solution and clues to this matter.
Then, Lin Yan signaled for Lin Dong and the others to step back a bit. When they were in a safe place, Lin Yan didn't waste any time. His mind activated, and he quickly gathered his energy and spiritual power, concentrating them in his hands.
Then, a gray and black fusion force surged, directly towards the fist print, while an ancient figure appeared. A fist was thrown towards Lin Yan, colliding with the fist approaching him.
This ancient figure exuded an extraordinary aura and emanated a powerful sense of fist from its body.
Boom!
With the clash of the two fists, a powerful energy spread. After a rumble, the ancient figure dissipated along with the fist, leaving behind a phrase: "In the stone block, the true essence of the Eight Poles, for those destined to find it."
As the ancient figure disappeared, the fist, palm, and finger prints turned into three beams of light, floating in the air above the stone block.
But just as these three lights appeared, three figures approached from behind Lin Yan and the others, quickly taking the three lights. Lin Dong prepared to catch them, but Lin Yan stopped him.
Lin Yan shook his head and said, "This isn't the true essence of the Eight Poles, it's just a test. The true essence of the Eight Poles is behind these three marks, and this information comes from the gold relic we found in the desert."
"When I observed the stone block earlier, I also felt that there was another mark behind these three marks. This made me believe in the information from the gold relic. I guess that's the true essence of the Eight Poles."
"As for those three people, I felt their presence when we entered. I was sure they would come to steal, so I planted a trail of fire in the three lights. When they come out, the fire will consume them completely."
Lin Dong and Xiao Yan nodded, thinking to themselves, "We've already experienced the power of fire before... Thankfully, we didn't approach to take those things earlier, or we wouldn't know how we would die."
But the information from the gold relic is also correct. Behind these marks, there is another mark. After the three lights were taken, the original fist, palm, and finger prints slowly disappeared, and then another fist print, even deeper than the previous one, appeared.
Lin Yan saw this fist print and called Lin Dong and the others over. Then, he indicated for Lin Dong to touch the fist print.
Lin Dong, eager to try, stepped forward and arrived in front of the fist print. Then, forcefully, he struck the print.
But to his surprise, the stone block showed no signs of response, as if his fist had struck a normal stone.
Seeing this, Lin Yan consoled Lin Dong and then indicated for Xiao Yan to try. After Xiao Yan nodded, he approached the fist print and struck it forcefully. However, in the end, the stone block also showed no reaction.
Lin Dong and the others wondered, "What's going on? Why is there no response at all? Could it be fake?"
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Let me try."
Then, Lin Yan threw a punch, directly hitting the fist print.
At that moment, the stone block began to tremble violently, and Lin Yan saw a light.
He could feel an extremely powerful and overwhelming fist sense emanating from the stone block, flooding everything around it. This fist sense was so similar to what he had felt inside the previous elder.
As this fist sense slowly flowed into Lin Yan's mind, the previous elder reappeared and slowly said:
"In the stone block, the true essence of the Eight Poles, for those destined to find it..."
