Chapter 249 Monument Spirit
In the past half month since the opening of the Great Desolate Monument, this area of the Desolate Palace has undoubtedly become the most lively place in Dao Sect.
Many disciples were waiting anxiously near the mountain, all of them concerned about the results of their comprehension of the Great Desolate Sutra.
On Qingyan, six figures were enveloped by pillars of light. The pillars of light outside four of them had shrunk a lot compared to the beginning. When the pillars of light completely disappeared, their comprehension failed.
In comparison, Lin Dong and Mu Zi were in much better situations. The light column surrounding Lin Dong's body had only shrunk slightly, and it was clear that it still had a lot of strength left; and the light column surrounding Mu Zi had not changed at all, showing no signs of decline.
Seeing this scene, Dao Zong's disciples couldn't help but sigh, this person is really unfathomable!
Buzz!
As everyone was amazed, the Great Desolate Monument suddenly trembled violently. Waves of light condensed on the huge surface of the monument, and finally turned into an almost tangible bright beam of light that shot out, covering Mu Zi and the several feet of space around her.
The next moment, light waves condensed on the Great Desolation Monument, turning the surface of the monument into a mirror, and faintly, a blurry huge shadow was looming in the mirror.
Wow!
The sudden change caused an uproar among the crowd near the mountain. They looked at the huge shadow on the monument with astonishment and confusion.
"what is that?"
"It seems to be the spirit of the Great Desolate Monument. It is said that when Senior Zhou Tong was comprehending the Great Desolate Sutra, this kind of shadow also appeared on the monument."
"The stele spirit has appeared. Doesn't that mean that person has succeeded in enlightenment?"
Many people realized this, their eyes widened, and a strong shock surged in their hearts.
Is this a success?
Although they had anticipated that Mu Zi had a high chance of comprehending the Great Desolate Sutra, only half a month had passed and there were signs of success, which was so smooth that it was unbelievable.
It was as if comprehending the Great Desolate Sutra was not difficult for her at all. That was the Great Desolate Sutra.
Everyone looked at the huge beam of light covering Mu Zi, then looked at Pang Tong and the others who were still struggling, and couldn't help but be amazed.
Is this the world of genius?
In the space of the ancient monument, Mu Zi's figure was swallowed up. After a brief darkness, a barren gravel land appeared before her.
Not far ahead, there is an ancient yellow stone tablet about ten meters tall. The tablet is covered with ancient lines, exactly the same as the Great Desolation Tablet in the outside world.
Mu Zi looked at the rubble land, and a subtle fluctuation flashed in his eyes.
After she realized the meaning of desolation, the Great Desolation Monument seemed to sense something and actively pulled her into its core space.
Buzz!
The next moment, the surface of the stone tablet fluctuated slightly, and then a vague figure emerged from the tablet, and its deep eyes locked directly on Mu Zi.
"I didn't expect that you could comprehend the meaning of desolation from that space."
The stele spirit spoke, and there was a hint of amazement and shock in the ancient voice.
Among those who comprehended the Great Desolation Sutra this time, it focused its attention on the controller of the Devouring Ancestral Talisman, but it did not expect that the person in front of it actually comprehended the meaning of desolation on his own and did not need it to pass on the inheritance at all.
This is the first time such a situation has occurred in so many years.
If it were thousands of years ago, someone with strong comprehension might have been able to comprehend the meaning of desolation from that space.
However, now, the Great Desolation Monument has been eroded by the alien demon king it suppressed. The meaning of desolation is hidden very deeply, and it is extremely difficult to perceive it.
But despite this, Mu Zi still succeeded in comprehending it within half a month, and it seemed very easy. This kind of talent is really outrageous.
The Great Desolate Monument, as a divine object refined by Fu Zu, had personally experienced the ancient times and witnessed the rise of the Eight Ancient Lords. However, in its opinion, except for the Ice Lord, none of the others could compare to Mu Zi in terms of talent and comprehension.
With such a gifted person, there is more hope for the future of Tianxuan Continent.
The spirit of the stele stared at Mu Zi and felt a familiar wave from her body.
"This aura is somewhat similar to that of the kid from the Great Wilderness King."
Mu Zi's expression changed, and then he looked at the Great Desolate Monument and said:
"I have entered the ruins of the Great Desolation Sect and obtained the inheritance of Senior Great Desolation Emperor."
When hearing Mu Zi talking about the Great Wilderness Sect, a hint of reminiscence appeared in the eyes of the stele spirit.
In ancient times, the Great Wilderness Sect had some intersections with it. The previous controller of the Swallowed Ancestral Talisman, Hei Tong, was also very powerful and was the main force of the Tianxuan Continent against the demons.
The Great Wilderness King had also gained insights from the Great Wilderness Monument, referred to the meaning of desolation, comprehended his own artistic conception, and borrowed its power and that of the Great Wilderness Ancestral Talisman to condense a mass of Great Wilderness energy.
However, not long after that, the Great Desolation Sect was destroyed.
Millions of years later, the Great Desolate Monument saw the spirit of the Great Wilderness in a younger generation, and felt surprised but also relieved.
The kid, King Dahuang, finally has a successor, and he is such an amazing person.
Mu Zi's gaze moved down to the bottom of the stone tablet, where he saw a trace of black lines crawling out, like the tentacles of a devil, evil and cold, wriggling slightly and constantly eroding the stone tablet.
"True King."
Mu Zi stared at those black lines with a serious look in his eyes. The density of those strange demonic energy was far beyond the ordinary demonic energy.
However, it is still far inferior to the Palace of Nine Kings that I saw in the illusion.
It seems that although this true king is comparable to a strong man who has survived two reincarnation tribulations, there is still some gap between him and the King's Palace of the Demon Prison. Perhaps he has just entered this realm.
But even so, this strange demon is very troublesome and can emit a trace of demonic energy. It seems that the condition of the Great Desolate Monument is not very good and it is almost unable to suppress this true king.
Maybe, I can do something.
Mu Zi's expression moved slightly, and he released his mental power, which spread throughout the space, sensing everything around him.
At the same time, her perception also reached out to the stone tablet and observed its condition.
Of course, Mu Zi carefully avoided those black lines and just looked carefully at the runes on the Great Desolation Monument, feeling the fluctuations in them, as if judging something.
Noticing Mu Zi's actions, the stele spirit said thoughtfully, "You know about the alien demon."
Mu Zi nodded slightly and replied calmly: "I know a little."
"This is a true king."
Bei Ling was a little surprised when he heard this, and looked at Mu Zi deeply. "You know a lot."
There are not many creatures in the world today who know about the great war in ancient times. A person in Nirvana Realm who knows the exact title of True King, it seems that she is not simple.
In fact, Mu Zi’s understanding of the alien demons may even exceed that of the Great Desolate Monument. After all, in today’s Tianxuan Continent, she is probably the only one who knows the origin of the extraterritorial evil race.
"Although this True King was suppressed by me, he still has considerable power. He has been eroding the Great Desolate Monument over the years, trying to break free."
"If it were my heyday, I might be able to wipe it out, but not now."
The spirit of the stele paused for a moment and changed his tone.
"However, if I can obtain the power of two ancestral talismans, I can obliterate this True King."
Speaking of this, the eyes of the stele spirit fluctuated slightly. Among the people who comprehended the Great Desolate Monument this time, there was a controller who could devour the ancestral talisman.
"Well, I'll go meet that little guy." The Great Desolate Monument said secretly.
The test outside was just a formality. Even if Lin Dong could not pass it, the Great Desolate Monument would pull him into the core space.
Its current condition is already very bad, and it can only hold out for another three years at most. It has finally met a controller of the ancestral talisman, can it really just turn a blind eye?
hum!
After a wave, Lin Dong appeared in the core space with a confused look on his face.
He was walking on that barren land, when suddenly everything went dark and he came here. What was going on?
Lin Dong looked around and saw Mu Zi not far away, and the blurry figure on the stone tablet in front of her.
Mu Zi noticed the fluctuations behind him and turned to glance at Lin Dong.
In the original novel, Lin Dong met the spirit of the Great Desolate Monument after two months of trials. Now the time has been shortened to half a month, which should be the influence brought by her.
"What is this place?"
Lin Dong walked to Mu Zi's side and looked at the stele spirit in front of him, seeming to be thinking about something.
This should be the real Great Desolation Monument.
"Hehe." Bei Ling chuckled and spoke.
"Little guy, there are so many familiar things inside your body."
Mu Zi, who was standing by, couldn't help but smile when she heard the opening remarks of the Great Desolate Monument.
Little guy, quite interesting.
Lin Dong did not dwell on these minor details. After hearing the spirit of the stele's meaningful words, his expression changed.
He had learned from Mu Zi before that the Great Desolate Monument was a divine object refined by the ancient powerful Fu Zu. The familiar thing it felt should be the ancestral stone refined by Fu Zu.
Perhaps, the Devouring Ancestral Talisman and the Ancient Qiankun Formation were also sensed.
The spirit of the stele sensed the aura of the ancestral stone in Lin Dong’s body, and a wave flashed in his eyes, and he chuckled.
"Haha, I can sense that old friend in your body."
When the voice fell, Lin Dong felt that the stone talisman in his body seemed to tremble.
"But it is seriously injured. It may not be easy for it to wake up and regain its consciousness."
Upon hearing this, Lin Dong immediately asked, "Senior, do you know how to restore its intelligence?"
The Great Desolate Monument was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke:
"If you have the opportunity to go to the Chaos Demon Sea, you can go to the Honghuang Tower to take a look."
Lin Dong's eyes lit up and he nodded excitedly. The ancestral stone was the most important treasure on him. If he could restore its intelligence, he might be able to use the balance power it possessed to refine the second ancestral talisman.
In this way, his strength might increase dramatically.
"Thank you, senior."
Lin Dong bowed and thanked the Great Desolate Monument. When he looked down, he inadvertently saw the black lines on the bottom of the monument, and his pupils shrank immediately.
“Senior, there seems to be some problem?” Lin Dong asked tentatively.
Before, when he was in the outside world, he found some black spots on the surface of the Great Desolation Monument. The fluctuations caused the stone talismans in his body to target him.
The fluctuations in the black spots were filled with a weird and evil aura, exactly the same as the dark things seen in the illusion at the Great Wilderness Ancient Monument before. It was obviously not a good idea.
Lin Dong had a vague guess that the Great Desolate Monument must have encountered some trouble.
Buzz!
While Lin Dong was observing, the stone tablet suddenly trembled violently. Countless black lines rose up and climbed madly towards the stone tablet. At the same time, streams of black gas emanated and spread all around. Some of the black gas even rushed towards Mu Zi and Lin Dong at a rapid speed.
Seeing this scene, Lin Dong's expression changed drastically. These black auras were too strange and dangerous. Even a powerful monument like the Great Desolate Monument had been made so miserable by them. He didn't dare to be contaminated by them at all.
Lin Dong was about to retreat violently, but he saw that Mu Zi was standing there, without moving, staring at the surging black energy.
In a flash, the thought flashed through his mind. Lin Dong gritted his teeth, suppressed his instinctive fear, took a step forward, and blocked Mu Zi behind him.
hum!
At the moment when the evil spirit was about to affect Lin Dong, rays of ancient yellow light emerged, and the evil spirit in the space dissipated instantly.
"Humph!"
The Great Desolate Monument snorted coldly, and the body of the monument shook. An indescribable force spread out, fiercely suppressing the black lines that were trying to corrode it.
"Jie Jie"
After the black lines were suppressed, an extremely sharp laugh came from under the stone tablet. It was cold and evil, making people shudder.
A ray of light flashed again in the ancient monument, and the laughter stopped.
