Chapter 50: Ancestral Symbol Map, Ancient Tomb Mansion
The two runes on the walls were incredibly intricate, seeming to contain the profound principles of the universe, drawing Xiao Tian in. Yet, upon closer inspection, they induced a slight dizziness.
The rune on the left wall resembled a vortex, making Xiao Tian's natal spirit symbols in his Niwan Palace feel like they were being sucked out.
Xiao Tian marveled, "As expected of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol. Even an incomplete imprint is this magical."
"Eh?" Suddenly, Xiao Diao's voice echoed.
"I didn't expect anyone in this remote place to have seen an Ancestral Symbol."
"What are Ancestral Symbols?" Yao Lao inquired.
"Ancestral Symbols are condensations of the laws of heaven and earth," Xiao Tian explained. "They are similar to the most powerful Heavenly Flames on the Dou Qi Continent, each possessing immense power."
"Who would have thought this world also has such mystical treasures," Yao Lao mused.
"Kid, I didn't expect you to know about Ancestral Symbols," Xiao Diao said, surprised. "If I didn't know you came from another world, I'd think you were a native."
"I know a lot more than you think," Xiao Tian responded, summoning a natal spirit symbol and placing it on the wall.
"Buzz!"
As his natal spirit symbol approached, it transformed into a palm-sized vortex. Wisps of mental energy flowed from the vortex, touching the wall. Suddenly, a map appeared mid-air.
The map depicted the Da Yan Empire, with a red dot marking a specific location. Another red dot was outside the Da Yan Empire.
"Holy crap!" Xiao Diao exclaimed. "Kid, your luck is off the charts! There's an Ancestral Symbol in the Da Yan Empire."
The map only appeared briefly before returning to the vortex and then back to Xiao Tian's Niwan Palace.
"It's time to leave," Xiao Tian said, heading downstairs.
"Crack, crack!"
As Xiao Tian departed, the walls with the Ancestral Symbol imprints began to crumble, turning to dust within moments.
Outside the Symbolist Tower
When Xiao Tian emerged from the tower, he saw many stone-like figures staring at him in shock. The reason for their stunned expressions was that Xiao Tian had reached the ninth floor. Even Yan Xuan, a seasoned four-seal symbolist, couldn't reach it.
Han Yun's eyes gleamed with murderous intent. His prized disciples, Liu Long and Cao Zhu, were killed by Xiao Tian, fueling his hatred. If Xiao Tian had only reached the eighth floor, Han Yun might have confronted him. But now, Xiao Tian had reached the ninth floor, making it unwise to provoke a future powerful symbolist.
Seeing Yan Xuan and the others watching closely, Han Yun gritted his teeth and called out, "We're leaving!"
The symbolists from Tianhuo City quickly fled. Zhou Tong gave Xiao Tian a complex look, saluted, and left.
"Eh?" Yan Xuan noticed something about Xiao Tian and asked incredulously, "Xiao Tian, did you... did you advance to a four-seal symbolist?"
"Yes," Xiao Tian nodded. "I'm now a four-seal symbolist."
"Wow!" Yan Xuan and the others gasped in disbelief. Xiao Tian's progress far exceeded their expectations.
Zi Yue, while also surprised, looked proud. After all, Xiao Tian was her man.
The Next Day
After a night with Zi Yue, Xiao Tian headed to the Tianyan Mountains outside Yan City. Qing Tan's Demon Body advanced rapidly, reaching the Tianyuan Stage. However, without pure Yin energy to condense her Yin Dan, her lifespan was limited. Xiao Tian decided to visit the Ancient Tomb Mansion.
The mansion's owner was only at the Nirvana Stage, weaker than Yao Lao, so Xiao Tian wasn't concerned about danger.
The Tianyan Mountains were vast and teeming with fierce beasts, making it rare for people to venture deep. However, Xiao Tian used Yao Lao's power to search the mountains. After crossing a forest, he arrived near a large, flat-topped peak covered in green vegetation, hiding ancient stone structures.
As he approached, Xiao Tian sensed a barrier, the Ancient Tomb Mansion's seal. He tore it open with ease and entered, not destroying the seal since the mansion held valuable resources.
At the peak, he opened a stone door and began searching. The initial rooms held little of value, but deeper inside, he found a room filled with cold jade and round dan pills, each containing immense energy.
Recognizing them as Pure Yuan Dans, Xiao Tian knew each took half a month to a month to refine. After looting the mansion, he collected tens of thousands of Pure Yuan Dans and many other spiritual herbs.
Finally, he reached a chamber at the end of the passage, covered in intricate runes with floating light clusters.
"Wow! So many demon spirits!" Xiao Diao exclaimed, appearing and devouring the spirits.
"Collect!" Xiao Tian also began gathering the spirits, valuable to both humans and Xiao Diao.
"Kid, stop stealing my demon spirits!" Xiao Diao protested, nearly in tears.
"Xiao Diao, these spirits are too much for you. Let me handle it," Xiao Tian replied, not slowing down.
Soon, they cleared out the demon spirits from the chamber.
