Five more days passed.
Once again, the eighth floor emitted a surge of spiritual fluctuations—Lin Dong had broken through.
Moments later, Lin Dong opened his eyes in excitement.
"Finally succeeded."
Lin Dong had taken considerably longer than Zi Yue. The reason: his innate Tianxuan Symbol required far more spiritual energy to cultivate than hers.
"Want to take a look at the ninth floor?"
Lin Xuan glanced toward the ninth floor's spiritual barrier with interest.
"Yes!" Lin Dong grinned.
Since they were already in the Symbolist Tower, naturally they wanted to explore.
Lin Xuan smiled. The four symbol seals appeared, transforming into whirlpools that surrounded him.
"Boom!"
A dull sound resonated. The ninth floor's spiritual barrier was extremely tough.
Lin Xuan pushed against it, the four Tianxuan whirlpools absorbing the pressure of the barrier's spiritual energy.
After a moment, Lin Xuan successfully broke through.
Seeing Lin Xuan enter, Lin Dong followed suit. His cultivation level was slightly lower, but the Tianxuan Symbol Seal was strong enough. After some struggle, he too managed to break through.
Ninth floor!
Lin Xuan began scanning the surroundings.
This floor was unusual: there was no spiritual pressure, and the space was small—only a few dozen meters.
The floor was covered in dust, looking messy compared to lower levels. The area was otherwise empty.
However, Lin Xuan's attention was quickly drawn to the walls on either side.
"So this is the map of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol and the Thunder Ancestral Symbol?" Lin Xuan studied the wall.
He immediately recognized the markings.
The walls were covered in countless intricate patterns, forming two extremely complex, ancient symbols.
Lin Dong arrived shortly after, and he too was momentarily stunned.
The ancient symbols were dizzyingly complex, yet every stroke seemed to contain the fundamental principles of the world, irresistibly drawing one in.
"This symbol…"
Both of them focused on the one on the left wall.
"It looks a bit like the Tianxuan Symbol Seal!" Lin Dong exclaimed.
At that moment, the symbol on the wall emitted a subtle pull.
Under this force, the innate symbol in Lin Dong's Mud Pellet Palace seemed like it might fly out.
"Ancestral Symbol!"
Lin Xuan said calmly as he stood before the wall, tracing the two characters below the symbol with his finger.
"What's an Ancestral Symbol?" Lin Dong asked, curious.
A fleeting voice echoed, "An Ancestral Symbol has appeared here."
The next moment, a black marten spirit floated out from Lin Dong's hand.
It smirked arrogantly, beginning its explanation:
"The essence of a Symbolist's cultivation is condensing spiritual energy into an innate symbol....the seals in your Mud Pellet Palace.
Symbols range from ordinary to spirit symbols to Tian symbols, with countless varieties. But the strongest in the world are the Ancestral Symbols.
"Ancestral Symbols are not created by humans—they condense from the rules of the heavens and earth. Each holds power beyond comprehension.
"Those who control Ancestral Symbols are among the most powerful beings in existence.
I once saw one; that person could probably destroy Yan City with a casual attack."
Lin Dong asked excitedly, "So they're that powerful? How many Ancestral Symbols exist?"
"As far as I know, only eight!"
While the two excitedly discussed, Lin Xuan was establishing a task, fully aware of what could be obtained here.
[Task: Obtain the location map of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol.
Reward: Devouring Symbol Seal, Method of Condensation!]
[Task: Obtain the location map of the Thunder Ancestral Symbol.
Reward: Thunder Symbol Seal, Method of Condensation!]
"Wow!" Lin Xuan exclaimed. These rewards were incredible!
The method of condensing the Devouring and Thunder Symbol Seals was basically the cultivation method for an Ancestral Symbol.
Even if they never achieved the power of a true Ancestral Symbol, it would surpass the Tianxuan Symbol Seal.
The marten scrutinized the symbols for a moment. "These two aren't actual Ancestral Symbols....they're reproductions made by a powerful Symbolist, tracing the Ancestral Symbols' forms. The one who did this was extraordinary."
"What a pity… if they were real Ancestral Symbols, it would be amazing!" Lin Dong sighed.
He approached the wall, curious, and noticed, "This seal… it's almost half similar to the Tianxuan Symbol Seal we've been cultivating."
"It should be that the seal you're cultivating is derived from this Ancestral Symbol," the marten concluded.
"Step aside, I'll try it!" Lin Xuan shouted, summoning an innate Tianxuan Symbol.
"Buzz!"
The symbol radiated spiritual energy, forming a whirlpool.
