Chapter 169: Rubbing the Ancestral Talisman
Lincheng is the ancestral home of the Lin clan.

Walking on the streets of Lincheng, Lin Dong couldn't help but smile.

Occasionally, he would meet some members of the Lin clan on both sides of the road. The way they looked at Lin Dong was no longer filled with disdain and contempt as before, but was instead filled with awe and curiosity.
Half a month ago, in the Lin clan’s clan competition, Lin Dong fought against Lin Langtian and strongly suppressed the latter, winning the championship of the clan competition.

Although Lin Langtian was not truly defeated, it was an indisputable fact that he was forced into an extremely miserable state by Lin Dong.

Even the patriarch of the Lin clan, Lin Fan, a powerful man in the Nirvana realm, recognized this champion who came from a branch family.

Not only that, not long ago, Lin Dong broke through the Creation Realm in the clan's collection and suppressed a group of elders.

Facing such a powerful and lawless Lin Dong, the people from the inner clan had to put aside their pride.

With a happy mood, Lin Dong returned to his residence. Suddenly, a voice came and startled him.

“You are quite proud of yourself.”

A familiar voice came, Lin Dong looked over and saw Mu Zi sitting in the room, looking at him indifferently.

Lin Dong's mouth corners slightly raised, outlining a confident arc, and then he said:

"Not only did I defeat Lin Langtian in public, I also broke through to the Creation Realm. What's wrong with feeling proud for a while?"

Lin Dong is at the peak of his life at this moment, his heart filled with pride and confidence.

He looked at the man with a smile, his eyes full of expectation.

With such achievements, Miss Mu will look upon him with new eyes.
"Ah."

However, Lin Dong was soon disappointed. When Mu Zi heard his boasting, she simply nodded nonchalantly, with no ripples in her clear eyes, as if these were not worth mentioning at all.

The smile on Lin Dong's face gradually froze, and an inexplicable feeling of frustration surged in his heart.

Miss Mu, please give me some reaction!

Mu Zi frowned and looked at Lin Dong who was standing there in a daze, feeling a little puzzled.

"Are you a child? Do you need someone to coax you?"

"Forehead"

Lin Dong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He quickly adjusted his mood and asked calmly, "Why did you come here this time?"

Mu Zi stretched out a hand, with a hint of impatience in her tone.

"Hurry up, bring the Devouring Ancestral Talisman!"

You're talking too much nonsense. If I'm not here to see the ancestral talisman, then am I here to talk to you?

Lin Dong smiled bitterly, nodded, then calmed his mind and communicated with the ancestral talisman in his body.

A moment later, a deep black light flew out from his Niwan Palace and turned into a rune on Mu Zi's palm.

The rune was filled with an ancient and mysterious aura. It kept wriggling and twisting, sometimes turning into a black hole, emitting waves of devouring power, as if it wanted to swallow up all the light.

Mu Zi stared at the runes in front of her, and the same deep darkness was reflected in her pupils.

Nodding with satisfaction, Mu Zi activated the Samsara Seal and began to comprehend the Dao essence emanating from the Devouring Ancestral Talisman.

Seeing how devoted she was, Lin Dong gave a wry smile, then cautiously stepped out and gently closed the door.

In the room, Mu Zi held a wriggling rune in his hand, concentrating on it.
Three days later, the door was slowly pushed open, and Mu Zi appeared at the door. She calmly glanced at Lin Dong in front of her and asked calmly:

"Have you been guarding here these days?"

Lin Dong nodded gently, "I'm worried that someone might disturb you."

Mu Zi stared at him quietly for a moment, then pointed a finger. A ray of light flashed from the fingertip and sank into Lin Dong's forehead.

Lin Dong calmed his mind and digested the information that flooded into his mind. After a moment, he opened his eyes and a hint of surprise flashed in them.

"This is."

"Some techniques for using the Devouring Ancestral Talisman." Mu Zi said lightly.

In view of Lin Dong's good attitude, she decided to give him some benefits.

These usage techniques were all researched by Mu Zi in the past few days. Although she had only been exposed to the Devouring Ancestral Talisman for a few days, her understanding of it was much deeper than Lin Dong's.

With these insights, Lin Dong's combat capability might be stronger than in the original work.

Moreover, Mu Zi also mixed in some "personal opinions" with these insights.

What she taught Lin Dong were mainly some defensive skills.

Lin Dong’s energy is limited, and he may not be able to fully develop the functions of the Devouring Ancestral Talisman in a short period of time.

Therefore, what Mu Zi decided to teach was one of the most powerful functions of the Devouring Ancestral Talisman.

Lin Dong is now at the minor success level of the Creation Realm. If he digests and masters all these skills, even when facing a strong man in the Nirvana Realm, he will have some resistance and will not be killed instantly.

Of course, studying these techniques is just a side job. Mu Zi has gained much more than that in the past few days.

At this moment, a special rune was imprinted on the umbrella of the Tianluo Umbrella.

If someone observes, they will be shocked to find that the aura and shape of the rune are exactly the same as the Devouring Ancestral Rune.

The devouring rune exudes deep and vibrant colors, slowly dragging on the black and gold umbrella surface like a fish swimming in the sea.

This rune was copied by Mu Zi from the Devouring Ancestral Rune!

In order to accomplish such an earth-shaking feat, apart from a little help from the Samsara Seal, the role of the natal spiritual treasure was crucial.

The rune that Mu Zi copied was not a normal ancestral rune, and it could not be refined into a natal rune by anyone.

The latter is too difficult and is not something Mu Zi can accomplish at this stage.

She could only resort to trickery, using the special nature of the interweaving of her own spiritual treasure and the life of the practitioner to "trick" the Devouring Ancestral Talisman into mistaking it for a practitioner with extraordinary comprehension.

Mu Zi and the Ancestral Talisman have a very high compatibility. Apart from the illusory "affinity with the Ancestral Talisman", she is more suitable for controlling the Ancestral Talisman than Lin Dong.

Therefore, even though the Devouring Ancestral Talisman had been refined by Lin Dong, Mu Zi also used a special method to capture a trace of the original power from it.

In the original novel, Moro, the controller of the Flame Ancestral Talisman, once relied on his powerful cultivation to extract a trace of the original power from the Thunder Ancestral Talisman.

And Mu Zi also successfully achieved this through her own means.

This trace of original power that was swallowed by the ancestral talisman was refined by her into the Tianluo Umbrella.

During this process, the Tianluo Umbrella almost couldn't bear it. If Mu Zi hadn't upgraded it some time ago, he would probably have had no choice but to give up.

Mu Zi was somewhat fortunate that when she was refining her natal magic treasure, she paid special attention to its defensive properties.

If it is a natal spiritual treasure whose main attribute is attack, it cannot withstand the power of the ancestral talisman at this stage, so there is no point in making such an attempt.

This trace of origin turned into a rune and was refined into the Tianluo Umbrella.

In the future, with the continuous improvement and evolution of this natal spiritual treasure, this rune will gradually grow and become stronger, and eventually approach the complete Devouring Ancestral Rune.

Of course, compared with the real ancestral talisman, it is still a little worse.

After extracting a trace of the original power, the Devouring Ancestral Talisman will temporarily become incomplete and may have some defects.

Although this trace of origin can be gradually restored, it still takes some time.

Mu Zi gave those insights to Lin Dong in order to make up for his losses. She would not betray her friend.

If this imperfection causes too much impact on Lin Dong, then if it really doesn’t work, then just return this bit of origin to him.

It is estimated that by that time, the runes in the Tianluo Umbrella will have grown a lot, and Mu Zi will still have a lot of original power left.

"Lin Dong, do you want to participate in the Hundred Dynasties War?"

Mu Zi still confirmed with him that due to her intervention, Lin Dong did not develop any special feelings for Ling Qingzhu.

In this way, after defeating Lin Langtian, perhaps his motivation to practice will not be as strong as in the original novel.

However, Mu Zi's worries were obviously unnecessary.

Hearing her question, Lin Dong nodded without hesitation. He looked at Mu Zi with determination in his eyes.

How could I possibly stop?

If that happens, I'm afraid I won't even be able to see her back.
Mu Zi nodded slightly. She did not understand the deep meaning in Lin Dong's eyes and thought that he was simply eager to improve his strength.

After all, who doesn't want to become stronger?

"Do you want to participate too?" Lin Dong asked.

"Ah."

Mu Zi nodded, then took out the White Lotus Magic Treasure, took a step forward, and stepped lightly on it.

Lin Dong's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he was eager to try it out, and even wanted to step onto the lotus platform together.

"Let's go together."

boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling light suddenly flashed. Lin Dong felt a powerful force coming at him, and his body flew backwards uncontrollably, falling to the ground in a mess.

Mu Zi glared at him fiercely, "Do you still have any shame?"

"Your shoes are covered in dirt, and they've made my white lotus dirty!"

Mu Zi looked at Lin Dong coldly, feeling unhappy.

After this guy gained some strength, he started to become arrogant. If one day his strength surpasses mine, he will be invincible!

"Hmph!" Mu Zi snorted coldly, then turned into a stream of light and rushed into the distance.

The White Lotus Spirit Treasure was extremely fast, and in less than half a day, Mu Zi arrived at the imperial city.

"Flying is prohibited in the Imperial City!"

Seeing Mu Zi appearing in the sky above the imperial city in a swagger, some powerful guards issued a warning.

The stream of light suddenly stopped and transformed into a pure and flawless white lotus in front of everyone. On top of the white lotus, a stunningly beautiful woman stood gracefully.

When the guards recognized Mu Zi, their eyes flashed with amazement, and they immediately said in a awed tone:

"It turns out to be Fairy Feixia. Please wait a moment. Someone will take you into the palace."

The seed selection was about to be held in the imperial city, so Mu Zi's appearance here did not cause much surprise.

Although she doesn't have any strong power behind her, she is definitely qualified to participate in the seed selection based on her strength.

Mu Zi waited quietly for a moment, then suddenly his expression changed and he looked towards a place not far ahead.

Accompanied by a wave, a figure appeared in front of Mu Zi. As soon as this figure appeared, the vitality of heaven and earth began to boil.

He was a middle-aged man with black and white hair. He was dressed in a luxurious dragon robe and exuded a strong aura of nobility.

The master of the Great Yan royal family, Mo Jingtian, achieved Nirvana.

"Haha, the fairy has come to visit us. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person!"

Seeing this scene, the guards were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.

Unexpectedly, the strongest man in the Great Yan Dynasty would come out in person to greet Mu Zi.

Moreover, he was very humble, without any of the airs of a strong man in the Nirvana realm. How could this not shock people?
A hint of deep meaning flashed in Mu Zi's eyes. It seemed that the news of her killing Wang Lei had been known to some people.

"Please don't mind me coming here uninvited." Mu Zi said with a smile.

Mo Jingtian felt Mu Zi's aura and there was shock in his eyes.

The news was so outrageous that he was a little reluctant to believe it. However, after personally meeting Mu Zi today, he had to accept the fact.

"Fairy, please follow me."

Mo Jingtian led Mu Zi to the palace, where many people were already waiting.

Although there are still three days before the official start of the seed selection, most of the forces have already arrived in advance.

Royal family, Qinshi clan, Huangpu clan, Tianluo clan, Dabei Valley, Manwang clan
Among these forces, those who have at least reached half a step into Nirvana are considered the top forces of the Great Yan Dynasty.

After seeing the figure following Mo Jingtian, the leaders of many forces looked at her with curious eyes.

"Is this the legendary Fairy Feixia who killed Wang Lei?"

"It's incredible. It's really shameful that he has such strength at such a young age!"

"One of the seed spots this time already belongs to her."

Everyone sighed with emotion. Before the selection started, someone had already reserved a spot. They could only compete for the remaining four spots.
Those young talents who were preparing to participate in the seed selection looked at Mu Zi with complicated eyes.

While they were still fighting hard for a qualification, that person had already become aloof and looked down upon everyone without even having to make a move.

In the face of Mu Zi's impressive record, those so-called geniuses felt a strong sense of frustration.

At best, they can only show off their power among the younger generation, but that person has already competed with the older generation of strong men.
Under the gazes of so many people, Mu Zi's heart did not fluctuate much. Her eyes inadvertently swept across the royal team and suddenly stopped on one of the figures. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

There was a young man there, his appearance was extremely handsome, even Qin Shi could not compare with him. Such facial features and appearance, even some women would feel jealous when they saw him.

"This should be the third prince Mo Ling."

Mu Zi's eyes looked a little strange. Seeing is believing. This Mo Ling was indeed very beautiful. Her looks were not inferior to Miss Ziyue!

Purple Moon:.
If I remember correctly, Xiao Diao's human appearance is even more beautiful than Mo Ling's.
Qin Shi, Mo Ling, and Xiao Diao, each one is more beautiful than the other. Is this some unique style of the Great Yan Dynasty?

Mu Zi walked to the front of the Qin clan's team and looked at Qin Shi, who raised the feather fan in his hand and greeted her.

Mu Zi nodded lightly, without saying anything more, turned and walked towards the Huangpu clan's team.

Seeing this scene, a bitter expression appeared on Qin Shi's face.

She did not seize the opportunity at that time, otherwise, her relationship with the Qin clan might not have been so cold.

The patriarch at the front of the team was also filled with strong regret at this moment.

If he had known that Mu Zi could reach this point in just one year, he would definitely not have stood idly by.

However, it is too late to say this now. Some opportunities, once missed, are difficult to recover.

In the final analysis, it was just that he didn't have enough courage.
"Ugh!"

Mu Zi walked to the front of the Huangpu clan's team, greeted Huang Pu Sheng, and then turned his gaze to the silver-haired beauty.

"Haha, you young people should chat more."

Huang Pusheng was also very tactful. He turned around and left, leaving the space to them.

"you are great!"

There was a strange gleam in Huang Pujing's eyes. The person in front of her did things beyond her imagination time and time again, shattering her original view of the world.

Mu Zi was about to speak when she suddenly frowned and looked away.

Beside Huang Pujing, a young man in ink-colored clothes was staring at Mu Zi cautiously.

Seeing that her gaze had forgotten to come over, the young man avoided her gaze and did not dare to meet her gaze.

"Cousin, don't be rude to Miss Mu!"

Huang Pu Jingmei glared at the young man, then looked at Mu Zi with an apologetic look and explained:

"He is my cousin, Huang Puying, and he is also the number one genius of the Huang Pu clan."

"Oh?"

Mu Zi's heart moved, not because he was surprised at Huang Puying's strength as a mid-level talisman master who had reached the minor success stage of the Creation Realm, but because he thought of something.

This Huang Puying seems to be a fanatical pursuer of Ling Qingzhu, right?

If I remember correctly, in the original novel he was very arrogant in front of Lin Dong. How come he has become like this now?
Huang Pujing came over and whispered in Mu Zi's ear: "My cousin is interested in you."

"I?"

Mu Zi narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the timid young man, raised a playful arc at the corner of his mouth, and suddenly asked a question.

"Who is more beautiful, me or Ling Qingzhu?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Huang Puying's face turned red instantly and he stammered and was unable to speak.

Mu Zi frowned when she saw this. It seemed that Huang Puying was not honest and was interested in both her and Ling Qingzhu at the same time.

"Humph!"

This kind of person is just attracted by beauty!
Seeing that Mu Zi was somewhat disgusted with Huang Puying, Huang Pujing quickly drove this cousin away, and the atmosphere became harmonious.

Mu Zi stared quietly at the silver-haired beauty in front of him for a while, then extended a hand to her.

"follow me."

"Eh?" Huang Pujing was stunned, her beautiful eyes full of confusion.

Mu Zi smiled slightly, "I will take you to participate in the Hundred Dynasties War."

This is how I repay the favor of the Huangpu clan.

Huang Pujing was overjoyed that such a good thing actually happened to her!
In her eyes, Mu Zi was almost omnipotent, and this invitation might represent a place to join a super sect.

"Really?" Huang Pujing still couldn't believe it, as if it was a dream.

"Well, go back and prepare. We will leave in two days."

Two days later, Huang Pujing was ready and came to Mu Zi.

"Hehe, the clan leader gave me all the Nirvana Pills that were originally prepared for my cousin."

A smile flashed in Mu Zi's eyes. Then Huang Puying should be quite depressed, right?
He, the number one genius, failed to get this opportunity, but Huang Pujing, who was only half a step away from success, was about to soar into the sky.

"Let's go."

When the two arrived in front of the teleportation array, there were many complicated gazes behind them.

The corners of Mo Jingtian's mouth twitched slightly. He originally thought that Mu Zi would also wait until the seed selection was over before teleporting with the other people. He didn't expect that she would actually open the teleportation array alone.

Activating the teleportation array once costs 50,000 Nirvana Pills! How rich!
Mu Zi's "extravagance" brought a bit of shock to the guys from the lower dynasties.

Qin Shi's eyes were extremely bitter. If they had taken action at that time, perhaps he would be the one following Mu Zi now?
Mu Zi: You’re overthinking it.

"Come up."

Mu Zi called out, and Huang Pujing stepped onto the white lotus and stood beside her.

Then the light surged, and the two figures disappeared into the teleportation array.

Looking at this scene, the corners of Lin Dong’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

"Didn't you say you were afraid of dirtying your spiritual treasure?"
