Chapter 245 Challenge
Dao Zong's deserted palace.

In Lin Dong’s residence, a dark and deep rune was suspended in front of Mu Zi, slowly rotating and wriggling like a black hole.

Mu Zi sat quietly, the Devouring Ancestral Talisman reflected in his pupils, with the same deep black light flashing from time to time.

After a long time, Mu Zi retracted the light in her eyes, stretched out a slender jade finger, lightly tapped the air, and the Devouring Ancestral Talisman turned into a black light and flew into Lin Dong's body.

At the same time, a mini black hole slowly emerged from the palm of Mu Ziying's white palm, emitting strange attraction, as if it wanted to devour everything in the world.

Mu Zi observed the runes on the palm of his hand, and a faint light flashed in his eyes.

When she was in the Creation Realm, she had borrowed the Devouring Ancestral Talisman from Lin Dong and comprehended a hint of its charm.

However, Mu Zi's strength was still too low at that time, and the gains he got were actually very limited. He could only use the special nature of his natal magic treasure to extract a trace of the original power from the Devouring Ancestral Talisman.

Mu Zi's strength is no longer what it used to be, and her understanding of the principles of heaven and earth is also deeper. This time, when she came into close contact with the Devouring Ancestral Talisman, she finally succeeded in comprehending her own rune from it.

This rune can be regarded as a rubbing of the Devouring Ancestral Rune. It has some characteristics of the Ancestral Rune and its power exceeds that of ordinary Heavenly Runes. It should be similar to the Dark Heavenly Rune condensed by Qingtan in the original book.

However, Mu Zi already has her own natal talisman, and the Hunyuan talisman is obviously more suitable for her.

Therefore, it is better to give this copy of the Devouring Ancestral Talisman to Tianluo Umbrella for use.

hum!
Mu Zi's mind moved slightly, and the Tianluo Umbrella appeared in front of her. As soon as it appeared, a sense of intimacy came from the Tianluo Umbrella, which gently jumped and made a series of humming sounds like a baby.

"Okay!"

A helpless expression appeared on Mu Zi's pretty face. She smiled and raised her jade hand to gently soothe the Tianluo umbrella, as if she was coaxing a child.

When Lin Dong, who was standing by, saw this scene, the expression on his face became extremely strange.

Why do I feel like this umbrella is acting coquettishly towards Mu Zi?
Mu Zi glanced at Lin Dong, saw his strange expression, and explained:

"The Tianluo Umbrella is my life treasure that I refined. It has my life aura and can be seen as a continuation of my life. Naturally, it is very close to me."

"The spirit of the Tianluo Umbrella's magical treasure has just been born and is still in an ignorant state. Its mind is similar to that of a child, so." Mu Zi said helplessly.

After hearing Mu Zi's explanation, Lin Dong nodded as if he understood, but soon he discovered his blind spot.

The spirit of the Tianluo Umbrella is the continuation of Mu Zi's life. Isn't it equivalent to her child?
Forehead.
How did Mu Zi suddenly have a child? He hasn't...
Seeing the wonderful expression on Lin Dong's face, Mu Zi narrowed her eyes.

This guy must be up to no good!
Being stared at by Mu Zi with dangerous eyes, Lin Dong showed a wry smile on his face.

After staring at him for a while, Mu Zi withdrew her gaze, stretched out her slender hand, and "pulled" a rune from the Tianluo umbrella.

She held the rune in her hand and said to Lin Dong calmly:

"A year ago, I extracted an essence from the Devouring Ancestral Rune and transformed it into this rune."

"You have lost a trace of your origin, and the Devouring Ancestral Talisman is no longer complete. This may have some impact on you. Now I will return this origin to you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Zi stretched out her slender jade fingers, and a strange wave emanated from her fingertips. The devouring rune was sensed by something and began to shake violently.

As the rune vibrated, wisps of black light separated from it, like peeling off a cocoon, and gathered into a wriggling ball of light at Mu Zi's fingertips.

Mu Zi stared at the inky black light for a moment, and with a slight tremor of her fingers, she was about to return the origin to Lin Dong.

At this moment, her heart moved, and her dark eyes stared at Lin Dong, and asked lightly:

“Lin Dong, I took it without asking, you won’t hold any grudge against me, right?”

Meeting those watery eyes, Lin Dong shook his head with a clear gaze.

“How could that be? Not to mention an origin, even if it’s the Devouring Ancestral Talisman, if you need it, just take it.”

Looking at Lin Dong's sincere eyes, Mu Zi's eyes fluctuated and a trace of guilt arose in her heart.

Regardless, she had done something unkind.

After a moment's silence, Mu Zi raised her eyes slightly and shook her wrist lightly. The ball of light turned into a black line and penetrated into Lin Dong's brow.

As the origin of the ancestral talisman entered the body, the Devouring Ancestral Talisman in Lin Dong’s Niwan Palace suddenly vibrated. The origin returned, and the imperceptible defect was made up for. A sense of perfection bloomed in the Devouring Ancestral Talisman.

Wow!
The surging power surged out from Lin Dong’s Niwan Palace, flowing through his limbs and bones. His Yuan power also increased, breaking through a bottleneck.

At the same time, a buzzing sound came from the Niwan Palace, the Devouring Ancestral Talisman suddenly rotated, and Lin Dong’s mental power became more condensed.

“I’m about to break through.”

A hint of surprise flashed across Lin Dong's eyes. After Mu Zi returned his origin, his Yuan power and mental power both had an opportunity to break through at this moment.

The two walked out of the room and came to the courtyard. There was a dark cloud over the sky with silver snakes dancing in it. A storm of wind and thunder was about to arrive.

"You go through the tribulation, I'll be here to guard it."

Mu Zi stared at the redness that was flowing onto Lin Dong’s skin and spoke softly.

Lin Dong nodded without saying anything more. He flew to the center of the courtyard and sat down cross-legged. The Swallowed Ancestral Talisman rushed out of the Niwan Palace and turned into a black hole suspended above his head.

After making preparations, two disasters came at the same time.

Accompanied by the blazing fluctuations and surging thunder, Lin Dong easily overcame both disasters, and his strength also broke through.

Six-Element Nirvana, Six-Seal Heavenly Talisman Master.

Lin Dong flew into the sky and let out a clear whistle. Mu Zi felt the aura emanating from him and nodded secretly.

Compared with the original novel, Lin Dong's energy and mental strength have improved in tandem without any imbalance, which is very good.

Mental strength is Lin Dong’s greatest talent, so he should naturally grasp it well and not waste it.

After all, opportunities in this world are limited, and luck won’t always be with you. When you reach a certain level, you can only rely on yourself.

"Howl!"

Lin Dong let out a whistle and slowly descended from the sky. Looking at the quiet Mu Zi, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

His strength improved, and the gap between him and her narrowed a little. Mu Zi looked at him calmly for a while, and reminded him: "Don't slack off in your spiritual training."

Cultivating spiritual power is not only for enhancing combat effectiveness, but also plays a significant role in overcoming the calamity of reincarnation.

When going through the samsara tribulation, the person going through it will experience a whole life, and all the feelings will be extremely real, as if it were a real reincarnation. If one is not careful, one will get lost in it.

Therefore, the reincarnation calamity can be said to be the greatest difficulty on the path of cultivation. Countless people are terrified when talking about it. Even if many strong people have reached the threshold of breakthrough, they dare not trigger the reincarnation calamity because they are afraid of the danger.

Every strong person who goes through the reincarnation tribulation is very cautious when doing so, for fear of dying.

However, in the original novel, two people survived the triple reincarnation calamity at once.

The Ice Lord, Lin Dong.

These two people have one thing in common, that is, they have both condensed the Divine Palace.

With the powerful mental strength of the Divine Palace Realm, they can maintain a trace of their self when they are going through the samsara calamity, thus experiencing each life in a more sober state, making it easier for them to see through the samsara.

Now, Lin Dong pays more attention to mental power than in the original work. With his identity as the son of the plane, it will be no surprise that he will be able to condense the Divine Palace in the future, and there will be no problem in overcoming the samsara calamity.

That day, Lin Dong and Mu Zi were strolling in the back mountain of Dao Sect. When they passed a mountain path, they heard the sound of a piano coming from not far away.

The sound of the piano was empty and deep, echoing in the sparsely populated mountain forests, and the lush ancient trees were tinged with a hint of sadness.

The two followed the sound and after turning a hill, they saw Ying Huanhuan in a green shirt and white pants.

Ying Huanhuan sat on a piece of bluestone, plucking the emerald green guqin in front of her with her delicate hands, emitting bursts of sound.

After seeing the two people coming, the sound of the piano changed, adding a touch of anger to the sad melody.

After the song ended, Ying Huanhuan raised her head and looked straight into Mu Zi's eyes.

"I wonder if Miss Mu knows anything about music?"

Mu Zi nodded slightly and replied, "I know a little bit."

When studying the martial arts collected by Qianhai Sect, Mu Zi comprehended more than a dozen artistic conceptions from them, one of which was the artistic conception of the zither.

Being able to comprehend the meaning of the zither, Mu Zi's zither skills are naturally excellent, but he just rarely shows them off.

Mu Zi is obsessed with martial arts and does not pay much attention to skills such as playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If the meaning of playing the piano is not related to martial arts, she would not put her mind into it.

Seeing Mu Zi nod, a light flashed in Ying Huanhuan's eyes.

"How about playing a song with me?"

Ying Huanhuan was waiting on the road that the two of them had to pass, just to challenge Mu Zi.

She wanted to defeat Mu Zi in front of Lin Dong to prove that she was no worse than her.

However, Ying Huanhuan knew clearly that Mu Zi's talent and strength were unrivaled among the younger generation in the Dongxuan Region. If they were to compete in martial arts, it would undoubtedly be a humiliation to themselves.

Therefore, Ying Huanhuan chose to compete with Mu Zi in the art of playing the zither.

Ying Huanhuan has loved playing the piano since she was young. The effort she has devoted to playing the piano even exceeds her investment in martial arts training, and she has developed extremely outstanding piano skills.

Ying Huanhuan is confident in her piano skills and there is no way she can lose in the field she is best at!
Mu Zi frowned, not wanting to accept this inexplicable invitation.

Seeing that she remained silent, Ying Huanhuan raised her eyebrows.

"Why, don't you dare?"

Mu Zi stared at Ying Huanhuan quietly for a moment, looking at the light in her eyes, and after a slight hesitation, she also developed a hint of interest.

She also wanted to see what the Ice Lord's talent was.

The Ice Lord is famous for the powerful ice force she controls, but she is also extremely talented in sound waves.

In fact, although she, the Ice Lord, has outstanding talent in the way of ice, this stems from her innate royal bloodline from the Ice Spirit Clan of the Great Thousand World.

What is truly unique about her is her talent in music.

Now, the Ice Lord is in reincarnation, and the talent brought by the Ice Spirit bloodline has not appeared, leaving only the sonic talent that best represents her.

Mu Zi was also somewhat curious about Bing Zhu and hoped to feel her charm while playing with Ying Huanhuan.

"Okay." Mu Zi said, accepting Ying Huanhuan's invitation.

Ying Huanhuan raised the corner of her mouth in an imperceptible arc, stretched out a hand and pointed at Qingshi, motioning Mu Zi to sit next to her.

Mu Zi looked at the emerald green guqin in front of Ying Huanhuan and shook her head slightly.

"No need, I have a piano."

As the words fell, Mu Zi's slender fingers moved lightly, and she took out a guqin from her Qiankun bag.

The guqin is more than four feet long, slender and with smooth lines. It is tinged with a warm purple color, like the purple clouds in the early morning light, or a piece of carefully carved purple jade, with silver strings hanging lightly on it, flashing a clear light.

Mu Ziyu placed her hand on the piano, plucking it lightly with her fingertips, and a few pleasant "ding~ding" sounds were heard.

Seeing the purple harp that Mu Zi took out, Ying Huanhuan's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but ask:
"What's the name of this piano?"

After Mu Zi finished tuning the guqin, she looked up at Ying Huanhuan and said calmly:
"This zither has no name. I made it casually in my spare time."

Upon hearing this, Ying Huanhuan frowned slightly and clenched her jade hands gently.

With your casually practiced piano skills, do you dare to accept her challenge?
Lin Dong stood aside, looking at the purple guqin in Mu Zi's hand, with curiosity flashing in his eyes.

Mu Zi has such a violent personality, I didn't expect that she would also dabble in these elegant things.

"I don't know, how well does Mu Zi play the piano?"

Lin Dong began to feel excited.
