That mountain peak was also quite peculiar, lacking a peak. The highest point seemed to have been forcibly cut off, forming a massive platform.
On that mountaintop platform, amidst the lush trees, faint traces of grand architecture could be seen. That was precisely where the Ancient Tomb Mansion of that Nirvana Realm peak expert was located.
"Is that where the Ancient Tomb Mansion is?"
A fiery glint flashed in Lin Dong's heart. Although he knew he had no share in the Nirvana Heart and didn't covet it, he was still very much interested in the treasures left behind by a Nirvana Realm expert.
Even if he just got some Essence Pills, that would be a windfall. If he could obtain a Spiritual Treasure, that would be even better. And if he could learn one or two high-level martial arts techniques, that would be perfect!
"Yes, but there's still a seal left by that Nirvana Realm expert on the mountaintop. It won't be easy to enter."
Wu Tao, standing beside him, smiled and explained to Lin Dong after seeing the eagerness in his eyes.
"The seals set by Nirvana Realm experts are incredibly powerful, even after many years!"
"Can't even Young Clan Leader break it with his strength?"
Lin Dong was somewhat surprised to hear this. No matter how strong that Nirvana Realm expert was, he was still just a Nirvana Realm cultivator, and he had passed away many years ago. The seal must be much weaker now. With Lin Xuan's strength, breaking it shouldn't be difficult, right?
After all, according to Little Marten's assessment, Lin Xuan's talent was comparable to that legendary first owner of the Ancestor Symbol, one of the Ancient Eight Rulers, a figure who sounded incredibly powerful, and perhaps even surpassed them.
"With my current strength, the seal left by that Nirvana Realm senior is still quite troublesome."
Lin Xuan raised his eyes and gazed at the seal that was faintly visible above the mountaintop, a hint of solemnity and fervor in his eyes.
With his Sword Heart, Lin Xuan could easily see that the seal was not the original one left by the Nirvana Realm expert, but one that was placed later.
If Lin Xuan wasn't mistaken, it should have been personally left by the Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Great Purity Palace. Because, from it, Lin Xuan could sense a trace of the Life and Death Reincarnation intent, which moved him somewhat.
"It's that terrifying?"
The simple-minded Lin Dong couldn't help but gasp in surprise after hearing Lin Xuan's words, secretly clicking his tongue in amazement. Even Lin Xuan found it difficult to deal with. Just how powerful was this Nirvana Realm?
"You silly kid, you really don't use your brain!"
Just then, Little Marten's scolding voice, filled with disappointment, echoed in Lin Dong's mind, leaving Lin Dong somewhat puzzled.
"Didn't you hear what that... uh, genius said? The Nirvana Realm expert's seal is troublesome, understand? Not impossible to break!"
Little Marten rolled his eyes at the clueless Lin Dong. Couldn't he even understand such obvious, subtle modesty?
"Ah? So, Young Clan Leader can break it? Then why is he still waiting here?"
Lin Dong asked, confused. At this time, he should definitely break the seal first and then rush in to snatch the treasures.
"Do you think he's a poor kid like you? For a genius like him, the only thing he wants is that Nirvana Heart."
Little Marten sighed with disdain, feeling a bit bitter in his heart. He had been following Lin Dong for so long, and the best thing he had eaten was still the two Nether Profound Dragon Demon Spirits that Lin Xuan had given him. Alas!
"Moreover, with his strength, it's not just a matter of breaking it. I estimate that the seal can't even withstand a single sword strike from him!"
It had to be said that, facing Lin Xuan, even someone as proud as Little Marten could only feel admiration. The most important thing was that this great genius didn't have the conceited arrogance of his past self, nor did he have an overbearing nature. He was a person worthy of respect.
If it were anyone else, how could they let go of his Death Profound Realm Demon Spirit? How could they not take away the mysterious stone talisman from Lin Dong's body?
Of course, it was probably because of this firm Dao-seeking heart that he had such amazing strength and comprehension. Sincerity brings enlightenment!
"He's not going in because there's an even more terrifying seal above."
"There's also a seal? Could it be that it's even stronger than a Nirvana Realm expert?"
Hearing Lin Dong's words, Little Marten couldn't help but curl his lip, saying with great disdain.
"Nirvana Realm? That's all you know, kid. The strength of the person who laid down the seal is stronger than when Marten-lord was at his peak in life. In your Eastern Xuan Region, they would definitely be a top expert in charge of a super sect."
After hearing Little Marten's words, a look of horror surged in Lin Dong's heart. Stronger than Little Marten at his peak? Wouldn't that be an expert surpassing the Death Profound Realm?
"With this seal in place, won't we be unable to enter?"
Hearing the unwillingness in Lin Dong's heart, Little Marten couldn't help but roll his eyes. Typical case of the emperor not being worried, but the eunuch being anxious to death.
"That great genius of your Lin Clan is still here. Since he's come, it means he can enter. I suspect that someone was fighting when they happened to be encountered by that passing expert, who left a seal behind as an opportunity for the sect's disciples."
"Hehe, but that old monster obviously didn't expect that such an unparalleled demon... genius could appear in your small Great Yan Dynasty!"
Seeing Lin Xuan turn his head to look over, Little Marten quickly changed his words. Although he didn't know if Lin Xuan had heard what he said, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart.
In fact, Lin Xuan didn't have the habit of eavesdropping at all, but he could sense that there were special fluctuations coming from Lin Dong's body, so he turned his head to take a look.
"Let's go, there's a camp at the foot of the mountain. It's a good opportunity to meet the Wang Clan people in advance!"
Lin Xuan said softly, his voice carrying a faint smile. However, this smile made Little Marten's heart chill slightly. Afterwards, he gloated and said to Lin Dong.
"Lin Dong, kid, hurry up and follow. When the situation looks bad, just take action directly, you know? As one of the four great clans, the Wang Clan guys are definitely all fat sheep. You just need to rob them, anyway, there's this great genius of your Lin Clan to back you up, nothing will happen!"
As Little Marten spoke, his eyes kept shining. During this period, Lin Dong was so poor that he was penniless, which made him, the dignified Young Clan Leader of the Sky Demon Marten clan, have to live a hard life with him.
Who does he, Little Marten, think he is? When has he ever eaten such chaff?
"Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Dong responded softly in his heart.
"What are you afraid of? Can't you tell? There's a feud between your Lin Clan and that Wang Clan. Maybe the more you rob, the happier your Lin Clan will be. When the time comes, they might directly reward you, kid, by letting your family return to the inner clan!"
Little Marten kept instigating him, especially after seeing that Lin Xuan didn't seem to react, he spoke even more vigorously.
