Chapter 184 The Spirits of the Four Symbols
In the ancient space, the boundless sea of thunder kept rolling. Under the cover of dark clouds, the silver thunder moved around like an angry dragon.
Lin Dong stood on a piece of blue stone in front of the ocean of thunder and lightning, and his scalp was tingling.
"Is this the trial of the Azure Dragon Palace?"
The demon spirit of the little marten also crawled out of Lin Dong's body. Looking at the sea of thunder that spread to the end of his sight, he couldn't help but flash a hint of surprise in his eyes.
The person who could create such a sea of thunder and leave this trial must be very powerful.
Mu Zi's illusory light and shadow was suspended aside. After his mind diffused and sensed for a while, he had some understanding in his heart.
Only when the trial-taker passes the test of the sea of thunder will the inheritance appear.
In the inheritance space of the Azure Dragon Palace, only Lin Dong possesses a physical body, so the identity of the trial-taker must belong to him.
While Mu Zi was thinking, Lin Dong had already stepped into the sea of thunder. Suddenly, the thunder surged and hit him. Violent power exploded, and crackling sounds continued to be heard.
Lin Dong’s face twisted slightly as he felt waves of pain. He subconsciously activated the Devouring Ancestral Talisman.
The devouring power surged out and formed a protective layer outside Lin Dong’s body. The lightning was blocked outside and could no longer cause any harm to him.
"Haha, this trial is nothing more than this."
Lin Dong raised his lips, and sighed in his heart, "The Devouring Ancestral Talisman is really useful."
“Boy, don’t be happy too soon!” Xiao Diao’s voice came from the side, which made Lin Dong stunned.
"You see, this sea of thunder is endless, so the content of the trial is probably not to get out of this ocean."
Lin Dong frowned slightly and realized that things were not simple.
The little mink's eyes flashed for a moment, and then it swung its claws down and scooped out a ball of glowing lightning plasma from the sea of thunder.
After feeling it for a moment, he understood something and said, "There is a special energy in this lightning magma that can strengthen the body."
"Perhaps the content of the trial is to strengthen the body to the point where it can ignore this sea of thunder. Only then will it be considered that the trial has been passed."
Xiao Diao paused for a moment, then looked at Lin Dong with a playful look and said, “Boy, cheating is useless, take back the devouring power.”
Lin Dong smiled bitterly upon hearing this, and nodded helplessly. The protection on his body dissipated, and the lightning lava flowed on his flesh. In an instant, severe pain came again.
But Lin Dong was not someone who could be easily dealt with. He had a strong endurance and he endured this bit of pain by gritting his teeth. After adapting for a moment, his expression returned to calm.
"Nothing more than that!"
However, Lin Dong didn't feel proud for long, as Xiao Diao's teasing voice was heard again.
"At this rate, it will probably take more than half a year to reach the point where we can ignore the sea of thunder."
"Haha, by the time you obtain the inheritance, the Hundred Dynasties War will be over."
"Even if you can wait, I can't wait with you forever."
Hearing this, Lin Dong turned his head and looked to the side. Mu Zi’s shadow was suspended in the air, staring at the sea of thunder quietly.
"Is there any solution?" Lin Dong asked.
"It's not impossible to increase your speed." Xiao Diao changed the subject and said, "Most of the energy used to strengthen your body has been wasted. You have only absorbed one tenth of it."
"I can let you absorb all the energy and increase your strengthening speed tenfold, but the pain you endure will also increase tenfold."
The little mink monster laughed, and what he said made Lin Dong’s eyes twitch.
Ten times the pain, just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.
When Lin Dong was struggling, Mu Zi suddenly spoke, with a teasing tone.
“Lin Dong, I can set up a spiritual formation to attract more lightning plasma. This way, your speed can be increased a lot.”
"How are you? Are you happy?"
Lin Dong raised his head and looked at Mu Zi's nonchalant expression, his heart trembling violently.
You are the devil!
Mu Zi hadn't teased him for a long time, and Lin Dong almost forgot that she had this side. But now, he once again recalled the horror of being dominated.
Xiao Diao was also a little surprised. If we talk about cruelty, it has to be this guy Mu Zi!
Ten times the pain is already unimaginable, and she wants to double it. Is there really anyone who can endure that kind of torture?
Lin Dong wouldn't die here.
Mu Zi didn’t think too much about it, she just wanted to see the inheritance as soon as possible.
As for helping Lin Dong.
This is just a kind help between friends, so there is no need to say thank you.
Lin Dong's expression kept changing, his fists clenched, and he felt very conflicted.
"Are you afraid of pain?" Mu Zi's voice sounded somewhat doubtful.
Lin Dong took a deep breath, laughed loudly, patted his chest and said, "How is that possible? Just come on!"
As a real man, you must not let Miss Mu look down on you!
Mu Zi and Xiao Diao looked at each other and nodded, then they worked together, and waves of special energy waves spread out.
The next moment, a sea of lightning surged, and plasma fell on Lin Dong wantonly.
"Haha, but... what the hell!"
Unspeakable pain suddenly erupted, Lin Dong’s body twitched violently, and he couldn’t help but let out screams.
Mu Zi was flying not far away, staring at Lin Dong silently. After observing for a while, she nodded.
Thirty times the baptism of lightning should be the limit of what Lin Dong can endure. If it increases further, it will cause him harm.
After Lin Dong gained the insights provided by Mu Zi, he was able to control the Devouring Ancestral Talisman more easily. When he broke through the Nirvana Realm, he refined more Nirvana Qi.
Therefore, his body is also stronger than the original, enough to withstand more baptisms of thunder and lightning.
Above the sea of thunder, Lin Dong’s body was shaking continuously. Unbearable pain surged over him like a tide. Every impact seemed to tear his mind apart. He was almost on the verge of collapse.
"Hoohoo!"
Lin Dong's throat continuously emitted beast-like roars, his eyes were as red as blood, flashing with madness, and he looked extremely terrifying.
Seeing how much pain he was in, Mu Zi felt a little soft-hearted. It was just to save some time, there was no need to torture Lin Dong like this.
Thinking of this, she raised her hand to withdraw her means. At this moment, Lin Dong seemed to have noticed something, and forcibly controlled his voice, trembling and shouting:
"I can do it"
Mu Zi paused and frowned. Lin Dong had clearly reached his limit, but he was still trying to hold on.
However, since Lin Dong had made the decision, Mu Zi still respected his choice.
"Tell me if you can't hold on."
Lin Dong did not respond. He no longer had the energy to do so. All his energy was used to fight against the outrageous and horrific torture.
Under the gazes of Mu Zi and Xiao Diao, Lin Dong stood on the sea of thunder, his body sometimes hunched over and sometimes straightened. His body was shaking and he almost fell into the raging ocean several times.
But Lin Dong relied on incredible willpower and did not fall down. He continued to roar and scream, and actually endured the inhuman torture.
After an unknown amount of time, a silent shattering sound suddenly came from Lin Dong's body, as if the shackles had been opened and he had surpassed his limits.
The pain that was so intense that it brought him to the brink of collapse seemed no longer unbearable. Lin Dong gritted his teeth, raised his extremely heavy footsteps with difficulty, and stepped heavily towards the sea of thunder in front of him.
Just like that, step by step, his body was still shaking, but his steps were moving forward firmly.
Looking at the staggering figure, Mu Zi's eyes fluctuated.
Lin Dong really endured the extreme pain and even achieved a breakthrough while struggling.
Witnessing all this with her own eyes, Mu Zi's heart was touched.
No matter how Lin Dong is in other aspects, his resilience is indeed beyond reproach.
If it weren't for the shackles of heaven and earth, he might have gone further.
White Tiger Hall. After passing through a gate, Mu Zi and Xiao Yan came to a barren and cruel land.
This is a battlefield filled with the smell of blood. Figures filled with murderous intent are moving around in it. The sounds of fighting are resounding, and the tragic atmosphere fills the space.
Those figures had empty eyes and skinny bodies, like mummies, but their eyes were bloodshot and filled with bloodlust.
The arrival of Mu Zi and Xiao Yan instantly attracted the attention of the figures. They turned their heads abruptly, staring at the two of them with their scarlet eyes.
Zheng!
Xiao Yan pulled out a long black stick, took a step forward, and stood in front of Mu Zi. His tall figure like an iron tower protected her firmly.
"Big sis, leave this to me!"
Mu Zi nodded. This was Xiao Yan’s trial, so she should not interfere easily.
More than ten figures rushed over. A fierce look flashed in Xiao Yanhu's eyes. He then swung his long stick with force, forming a series of stick shadows that blasted them to pieces.
After watching for a moment, Mu Zi flashed and appeared in the depths of the battlefield.
Her arrival instantly attracted the attention of the people around her. With crazy murderous intent in their eyes, they surrounded her and wanted to tear her to pieces.
Mu Zi's eyes were as calm as water. She tapped her jade feet lightly and moved her lotus steps slightly to avoid the attacks of those figures.
Attacks came from all directions, but could not touch the hem of her skirt.
Mu Zi's figure shuttled through the battlefield, strolling leisurely, elegantly and calmly, like a fairy dancing.
The trial on the battlefield posed no threat to Mu Zi. She easily dodged attacks from all directions while diffusing her mind throughout the entire space, carefully sensing every corner of the battlefield.
Shouts, roars, and the sounds of weapons clashing rose one after another. The entire world seemed to be filled with a strong atmosphere of killing, full of chaos and blood.
But in Mu Zi's perception, all this presented a different picture.
After condensing the Hunyuan Heavenly Talisman, her spirit became more agile, her whole body was filled with spirituality, and it was easier for her to capture the spiritual charm between heaven and earth.
Those chaotic sounds and breaths have a certain rhythm in them, as if forming a unique piece of music.
Fighting and killing constitute the rhythm of this piece of music. Although it is fierce and cruel, it forms a strange resonance to some extent.
Mu Zi felt the rhythm, and her aura began to change. A unique spiritual charm bloomed out. She seemed to have turned into a sonorous note, becoming a part of the music and blending into the battlefield.
Mu Zi's figure no longer moved around, but stood quietly in the same place. The figures on the battlefield passed by her as if they didn't see her.
In the White Tiger Hall, a somewhat illusory light and shadow stood there. As the rhythm continued to spread, the entire space produced a strange resonance with it.
Buzz!
Waves of special fluctuations spread out, and Xiao Yan, who was fighting fiercely on the battlefield, was suddenly surprised to see that little bits of light began to emerge between heaven and earth.
These light spots flew into the air, constantly gathering together, gradually outlining a vague but huge outline. As time passed, the outline became clearer and clearer, and finally condensed into a majestic and huge white tiger phantom.
As the white tiger's shadow appeared, it immediately exuded an aura of extreme majesty.
Although the aura contained a strong murderous intent, it did not exude the murderous spirit of wanton killing. Instead, it exuded a mysterious and solemn aura that made people feel awe.
"The spirit of the white tiger."
Mu Zi raised his head and stared at the huge shadow in the sky, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
She entered the inheritance space just to observe those powerful martial arts, but she didn't expect to gain something beyond her expectations.
After sensing the special fluctuations in the White Tiger Hall, she captured a hint of spiritual energy and successfully summoned a white tiger spirit.
The White Tiger, one of the Four Symbols, belongs to the metal element and represents killing.
I thought this special existence was just a fiction in legend, but now it seems that it may not be groundless.
Mu Zi looked at the shadow of the white tiger, and a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in his eyes.
"This is the spirit of martial arts!"
She was a little surprised. The white tiger in front of her was not a real creature, nor was it created by humans.
It is the spirit of martial arts born naturally between heaven and earth!
According to this speculation, Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise each possess a corresponding martial arts spirit, and are also condensed by the natural world.
"So that's how it is." Mu Zi murmured.
The spirits of the Four Symbols were born between heaven and earth. Some powerful people, by chance, comprehended them and thus created various martial arts.
The founders of the Four Symbols Xuan Sect were the best among them. They comprehended the spirits of the four symbols and established the sect based on this.
Mu Zi guessed that the true inheritance of the Four Symbols Xuan Sect might be the spirit of the four symbols, but those who had entered the inheritance in the past were unable to meet certain requirements and comprehend it.
"good."
Mu Zi exclaimed in praise, with a look of satisfaction in her eyes.
The spirit of martial arts that is sensed from the heaven and earth, the power contained in it is far beyond the martial arts spirit in ordinary spiritual martial arts. With the help of the spirit of the four symbols, Mu Zi may be able to create an extremely powerful spiritual martial arts.
If your own martial arts spirit is not strong enough, then borrow the spirit of heaven and earth!
"Sister, what are you doing?"
Xiao Yan looked at Mu Zi, then looked at the huge white tiger shadow in the sky, his eyes blank.
Mu Zi smiled indifferently and waved his hand to disperse the spirit of martial arts.
"Don't worry about me, just continue with the trial."
Suzaku Hall.
Liu Bai looked at the huge red bird in the sky in shock, and a feeling of horror surged in his heart.
The test in the Suzaku Palace was simple, and he passed it quickly, successfully obtaining a set of inherited martial arts.
However, although that kind of martial arts is powerful, and even vaguely surpasses the scope of spiritual martial arts, it is nothing compared to the phantom in front of him.
"The spirit of the Vermillion Bird has also realized it."
Mu Zi's eyes moved, feeling the fiery aura emanating from the shadow, and nodded with satisfaction.
Vermillion Bird, belonging to the fire element, represents destruction.
At the same time, in the Xuanwu Hall, a huge shadow resembling a turtle and a snake slowly emerged.
Xuanwu belongs to water and is responsible for defense.
Mu Zi felt it for a while, then dispersed the spirit of Xuanwu, turned around and looked at the man in black in the distance with a strange expression.
This guy Yan Sen inherited the Xuanwu Palace, a powerful defensive martial art with water attributes.
Xuanwu Sea-Suppressing Secret
But the problem is that his withered image doesn't seem to match Xuanwu.
Yan Sen looked at Mu Zi and forced a flattering smile on his pale face, which made Mu Zi frown.
"Farewell."
She immediately dispersed this clone.
Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need to stay.
Now, three of the four spirits have been obtained, and the only missing one is the spirit of the Azure Dragon.
