788 Fen Tian

The shrivelled face of the red robed man contained some iciness as he lookedat the Yuan Cang trio, who were carrying the bright red cauldron and were aboutto flee this realm. After which, he extended his hand and suddenly clenched it.

Buzz!

The crimson cauldron in the distance immediately trembled intensely after heclenched his hand, before a terrifying ripple was emitted. In an instant, thethree horn-like Soul Treasures were shattered in front of the drasticallychanging expressions of the Yuan Cang trio.

“Go!”

This turn of events caused Yuan Cang’s pupils to shrink. However, he was verydecisive and did not harbour any thoughts of resisting. A stern cry sounded ashe took the lead and shot towards the spatial vortex. Lei Qian and Ling Zhen,who had ugly expressions, hurriedly followed behind.

A red glow flashed deep within the red robed man’s eyes. He waved his sleeveand the enormous cauldron swiftly flew upwards. Subsequently, a fiery redpillar of light shot out. It violently struck at the spatial vortex just as theYuan Cang trio were about to enter it.

Bang!

A wild and violent fluctuation engulfed the trio, as a pale white colourinstantly surged up their faces and they spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.All of them were frightened to death and none of them dared to stay behind asthey used the resulting momentum to escape into the space vortex in anextremely miserable manner. Finally, they disappeared.

After he chased away the Yuan Cang trio with a wave of his palm, his eyes werea little solemn as he surveyed the remaining individuals. Promptly, he fannedhis sleeve as a wild gust rose and directly fanned all the remaining peopleinto the spatial vortexes.

Lin Dong could not help but grin as he watched all those miserable figuresbeing fanned away. Soon after, he saw the red robed man’s eyes shoot overtowards him and Ling Qingzhu.

“Cough… this young one shall…”

Lin Dong coughed dryly when he realized the red robed man was staring at him.He was just about to withdraw obediently when the latter opened his mouth andslowly said, “Young one, many thanks to you this time.”

Lin Dong was momentarily startled. He immediately spread his hands outwardsand replied, “ I was fortunate enough to obtain a piece of elder’s formation.Moreover, if the creature escaped, it will likely bring about quite a greatdeal of trouble…”

“You know about this creature?” A look of surprise clearly flashed across thered robed man’s shrivelled face.

“I had once seen a similar creature that called itself ‘king’…” Lin Dong said.He was naturally talking about the creature that was being suppressed by theGreat Desolate Tablet.

“King?” However, the red robed man’s expression immediately changed somewhatwhen he heard this word. His body quickly moved and he directly appeared infront of Lin Dong. His deep eyes stared intently at the latter. Moments later,he suddenly extended his hand and grabbed Lin Dong’s wrist.

Lin Dong was also surprised by this action. However, when he thought of theenormous gap between the both of them, he forcefully calmed himself down. Thisgap was not something that any technique or trick could make up for…

The red robed man grabbed Lin Dong’s arm. Soon after, his eyes swiftlyflickered. A long while later, he finally relaxed his hand. He stared at LinDong, his mouth quivering as he used a voice that only Lin Dong could hear.

“I never expected… that you actually possess the Devouring Ancestral Symboland… the Ancestral Stone.”

Lin Dong’s heart gently trembled for a while. He was not surprised that theDevouring Ancestral Symbol had been discovered by the red robed man. However,the so called Ancestral Stone… could he be referring to the Stone Talisman?

“Elder, the Ancestral Stone… what does it do?” Lin Dong hesitated for amoment. He wrapped his voice with Yuan Power before transmitting it to the redrobed man.

The red robed man mused for a moment. His eyes suddenly looked towards LingQingzhu by the side. Immediately, a cautious expression surfaced in her eyeswhen she saw this scene. Before waiting for the former to speak, her bodyfloated backwards.

“I shall take a look around this place.”

Lin Dong’s expression could not help but turn little strange as he watchedLing Qingzhu drifting away. This was because he had remembered their absurd actin the ancient tomb in Great Yan Empire five years ago was also caused by aNirvana stage expert who had died a long time ago. From the looks of it, LingQingzhu was still traumatized by that incident…

The red robed man moved after seeing Ling Qingzhu disappear into the distance.He landed on the mountain peak that had been formed from the lava earlier,while Lin Dong also swiftly followed behind.

“While I still possess some consciousness, I shall tell you a little…” The redrobed man sat down and spoke in a hoarse voice.

“Elder’s consciousness cannot be continuously maintained?” Lin Dong frownedand asked.

“Strictly speaking, I have already died a long time ago. However, I have usedsome techniques to retain some life Qi. Henceforth, I transformed into thisliving dead state. However, now that this creature has once again beensuppressed, my consciousness will soon begin to scatter. If you come to thisplace in the future, you will perhaps only be able to see a puppet that usesits instinct to guard this mountain.” The red robed man’s tone was calm. It wasas though he was not afraid of death.

Lin Dong felt some respect. The broad-mindedness of these ancient experts wereindeed worthy of his respect.

“Haha, when faced with true danger, there will always be people who willabandon their numerous grudges. That great world war nearly destroyed theentire world. In the end, only after lord Symbol Ancestor broke the cycle ofreincarnation, did he finally save the world.” An ugly smile surfaced on thered robed man’s face as he spoke.

“Symbol Ancestor?” Lin Dong was slightly startled. Just who was this person?To actually command such great respect from this red robed man.

“He is the saviour of this world. If it was not because he ignited hisreincarnation and used his life to seal the crack between the worlds, thatgreat world war might have continued for countless years…” The red robed manfaintly smiled.

“The Ancestral Stone in your hand is something that lord Symbol Ancestor leftbehind…”

“Oh?” Lin Dong was somewhat moved. Although he knew that the Mysterious StoneTalisman had an extraordinary background, he never imagined that it would besomething left behind by the leader of that great world war, the SymbolAncestor…

“During the great world war, the Ancestral Stone sealed three kings in a row.However, it was eventually wounded severely. Currently, it should be in adormant state. Whether you can awaken it will depend on fate…” The red robedman slowly said.

Lin Dong nodded.

“At the end of the day, we did not truly win the great world war back then. Atmost, we can only say that we managed to save our world by paying a terribleprice… these Yimo will not give up. Perhaps, a great battle will erupt in thefuture. However, we will have to rely on all of you when that time comes…” Thered robed man spoke in a hoarse voice.

Lin Dong was quiet. It seemed a little too early for the current him to talkabout such matters.

“Our meeting is part of fate. Since you have obtained the Ancestral Stone,perhaps lord Symbol Ancestor has somehow chosen you… soon, I will lose my mind.Perhaps there are some things that I can give to you…” The red robed manbeckoned with his hand. The couple of thousand feet large crimson cauldronrapidly shrunk. Finally, it reached the size of a palm and fell into Lin Dong’shand.

“This is the Burning Sky Cauldron… my essence Yuan Treasure. However, it islikely that I will no longer be able to use it in the future. Although you areunable to unleash its full potential with your current strength, it is still apretty formidable weapon…”

Lin Dong was stunned for a while when he saw the crimson cauldron slowlydrifting to his front. Soon after, he silently nodded. He did not put up anact, but instead, he extended his hand and carefully received it.

The red robed man pondered for a time after handing the cauldron to Lin Dong.Suddenly, he extended his hand. Rich life Qi gathered in his palm. Finally, itturned into a dragon eye size pure white pill. An astonishing life Qi scatteredfrom within the pill.

“You should consume it. It will allow your strength to soar significantly.However, the current you is unable to fully consume it. Most of its medicinalstrength will be left within your body. This will likely be quite beneficialtowards you.”

Lin Dong was dazed as he stared at the red robed man. As the life Qi wasforcefully squeezed out the from within him, his originally shrivelled skinturned much paler.

“Elder…”

Lin Dong pursed his lips. Clearly, he was unable to accept these valuablegifts!

“I believe in the Ancestral Stone’s choice…” The red robed man smiled faintly.

Lin Dong was quiet for a moment. Finally, he nodded gently. He respectfullyextended his hand and took a dragon-eye like pill from the red robed man. LinDong immediately felt his Yuan Power gallop and surge when he received the pill.

“May I know elder’s name?” Lin Dong received the pill and respectfullyinquired.

“I am Fen Tian… others frequently call me Old Ghost Fen Tian…” The red robedman laughed.

“This young one will always remember elder Fen Tian’s great favour.” Lin Dongspoke in a deep voice.

“Haha… there is no need to remember. This old man only wishes for you to helpme with something…” The red robed man said.

“Elder, please speak.”

“That friend of yours… please take good care of her.” The red robed man spokein a hoarse voice.

Lin Dong’s eyes flickered for a while. He naturally understood that the redrobed man was referring to Ying Huanhuan…

“Elder and her… were both of you acquainted in the past?” Lin Dong hesitatedfor a moment.

“I have received pointers from milady.”

The red robed man laughed. He continued, “It looks like milady hassuccessfully passed the reincarnation. Haha, she is indeed the disciple thatlord Symbol Ancestor values the most…”

Lin Dong’s heart trembled for a while. Soon after, he solemnly cupped hishands together. “Elder can be rest assured that I will protect her.”

“I will thank you then…” The red robed man smiled a little. Immediately, aworn out expression surged onto his face. Both of his eyes also began to slowlyshut.

“Elder, is there anyway to save you?” Lin Dong hurriedly asked when he sawthis scene.

The red robed man’s eyes were kind. He appeared to smile. After which, both ofhis eyes slowly shut completely. Subsequently, a hoarse voice was transmittedinto Lin Dong’s ears.

“Once you have comprehended reincarnation… return to this place…”
