Among the Eight Great Ancestor Symbols, the Devouring Ancestor Symbol has the lowest threshold, because what it tests has nothing to do with strength, but mainly a firm state of mind.
After all, the Devouring Ancestor Symbol mainly devours power, originating from the Taotie's power.
The power of devouring requires an extremely high state of mind to control it, otherwise, it is easy to lose oneself in the pleasure of devouring power.
Maintaining one's original heart and not letting oneself get lost in power is the most important thing about the Devouring Ancestor Symbol, and also the highest requirement.
So, relatively speaking, the threshold of the Devouring Ancestor Symbol is lower, after all, the state of mind does not require particularly high strength. It can only be said that the stronger the person, the more firm their state of mind tends to be.
After all, with the growth of strength, experience will also increase. The more experience one has, the more one's state of mind will transform, resulting in a stronger state of mind.
Apart from the Devouring Ancestor Symbol, the next is the Great Desolation Ancestor Symbol, which mainly tests the physique and will. To put it bluntly, it is talent, the talent for cultivating the physical body. The higher the talent, the easier it is to pass.
After the Devouring Ancestor Symbol and the Great Desolation Ancestor Symbol, there are the Ice Ancestor Symbol, the Flame Ancestor Symbol, the Darkness Ancestor Symbol, and the Thunder Ancestor Symbol.
Among these four Ancestor Symbols, the tests of the Ice Ancestor Symbol and the Flame Ancestor Symbol are relatively slightly lower. After all, frost and flames mainly test the control of these two powers.
In fact, it is not particularly accurate to say frost and flames, because the power of the Ice Ancestor Symbol mainly comes from the power of the Black Tortoise and the Azure Dragon. It can be regarded as the power of controlling water and Xuan Ice, but because the Ice Master of the previous life came from a force called the Ice Spirit Race in the Great Thousand World, she is more skilled in the power of frost.
The Flame Ancestor Symbol mainly comes from the Vermilion Bird's flame power, burning everything, terrifyingly powerful. Of course, if the talent is sufficient, one can also comprehend a bit of the power of the Undying Fire from it.
Darkness is more mysterious and profound, and relatively more difficult, after all, things in the darkness seem to be more ethereal than frost and flames.
In addition, the Thunder Ancestor Symbol is somewhat different. The test of the Thunder Ancestor Symbol is mainly will and physique, as well as comprehension.
To put it bluntly, the tests of these four Ancestor Symbols are very similar. They all involve comprehending the power of the Ancestor Symbol, but frost and flames are relatively easier to get started with, while thunder is too violent. In the process of comprehension, one may be directly destroyed by the violent power of thunder before even getting started.
The reason why the Darkness Ancestor Symbol is difficult to pass the test is because the power of darkness is difficult to get started with, being mysterious and unpredictable.
Above these four Ancestor Symbols is the Space Ancestor Symbol. The power of space is more ethereal, and of course, it is also more powerful, at least in the early stages.
This is also why Yan has not mentioned letting Zhou Tong hand over the Space Ancestor Symbol to Lin Dong, because even if Lin Dong is given the Space Ancestor Symbol now, he would hardly be able to pass the test of the Space Ancestor Symbol.
Not everyone is a freak and monster like Lin Xuan, who was already beginning to comprehend the power of space in the Nirvana Realm.
The most difficult is the Life and Death Ancestor Symbol. The power of life and death is even more ethereal and mysterious than the power of space, yet it accompanies oneself at all times.
Yan estimates that with Lin Dong's aptitude, he might have some chance only after reaching the Reincarnation Realm. There is no way, although Lin Dong's comprehension is not bad, it is only not bad. The Life and Death Ancestor Symbol requires top-notch aptitude and comprehension.
Among those below the Life Profound Realm, only the monster Lin Xuan has reached the standard of the Life and Death Profound Realm.
Otherwise, in the ancient times, the Lord of Life and Death, who was clearly the Eldest Senior Sister, would not have asked the Devouring Master, who was the Second Senior Brother, to help teach the junior brothers and sisters, because the Devouring Master was the first to refine the Ancestor Symbol, much earlier than the Lord of Life and Death.
Even for a long time, the Lord of Life and Death slowly controlled the Life and Death Ancestor Symbol under the guidance of the Devouring Master.
Among them, naturally, there is the reason that the Devouring Ancestor Symbol is the easiest to get started with. Of course, there is also a very important reason, that is, the Devouring Master's talent is the best among the Ancient Eight Rulers, except for the Ice Master.
Even if the Ice Master was not born in the Ice Spirit Race, her talent might not be as good as the Devouring Master's.
Although the Ice Master passed through three Reincarnation Tribulations in one year, the Reincarnation Tribulation cannot fully explain the problem, and the Ice Master was born in the Ice Spirit Race, and their race has certain advantages in this regard.
"So, do you understand, kid? The Life and Death Ancestor Symbol and the Space Ancestor Symbol are not something you can touch now. The reason why that Sky Demon Marten can is because the Sky Demon Marten Tribe is good at the power of space. He was about to break through to the Revolving Wheel Realm in his prime, so he can control it now."
After Lin Dong heard Yan's words, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Little Marten was not here, otherwise, he would probably be pointing his nose at the sky.
"Uh, well, Yan, I will work hard!"
Lin Dong had no choice. Although his comprehension was not bad, that was in terms of comprehending Martial Arts. In the case of Ancestor Symbols, such special divine objects, he seemed to be a little lacking. After all, that was an Ancestor Symbol, and its requirements were extremely high. It took so many years to produce one or two qualified candidates, and most of them only met the conditions for one of the Ancestor Symbols.
Speaking of which, not everyone is Lin Dong, needing to simultaneously meet the conditions for several Ancestor Symbols, so failure is common.
"Alright, kid, the Thunder Ancestor Symbol is the only one you have a chance with. Although your comprehension in that area is a bit lacking, you have enough tenacity and can take a beating. When the time comes, just endure a few thousand lightning strikes, and that should be enough."
Yan said casually. In comparison, the Thunder Ancestor Symbol's test was relatively friendly to Lin Dong.
Lin Dong might be a bit lacking in comprehension, but his tenacity is unquestionable. He's ruthless to himself. The Mental Grindstone is much harsher than any Thunder Ancestor Symbol test.
The Thunder Ancestor Symbol's test is just about having some control over the Thunder Ancestor Symbol. Most people rely on their comprehension to understand the true essence of thunder power while being struck by lightning. However, Lin Dong can use a simple method: endure a few thousand more lightning strikes. After getting used to it, he should be able to comprehend something.
What's that saying? Your opponent is the one who understands you best, right? That's roughly the idea. After being struck by lightning many times, you'll naturally understand it better.
So, all things considered, the Thunder Ancestor Symbol is the best and only choice for Lin Dong.
"Besides, don't you have a clue about the Thunder Ancestor Symbol? Isn't this perfect?"
Yan rolled his eyes. Fortunately, the traces of the two Ancestor Symbols Lin Dong obtained were the Devouring Ancestor Symbol, which happened to be in the Great Yan Dynasty's Great Yan Prefecture, and the Thunder Ancestor Symbol. If it had been any other, or if the order of the two Ancestor Symbols had been different, Lin Dong wouldn't have been able to proceed so smoothly.
Thinking of this, a flash of understanding suddenly crossed Yan's mind. Perhaps this was the meaning of those often mystical and strange words that person often said, the mysterious things.
"But the Thunder Ancestor Symbol is located in the Chaotic Demon Sea. Not to mention the vastness of the Chaotic Demon Sea, just getting there is probably very far, and I don't know how long it will take to travel."
Lin Dong said helplessly. The current Lin Dong is no longer the Qingyang Town youth he once was, and he won't ask others in confusion after hearing 'Chaotic Demon Sea'.
It was precisely because he knew of the Chaotic Demon Sea's existence that Lin Dong felt somewhat helpless, because, according to the Dao Sect's records, although the Eastern Xuan Region is adjacent to the Chaotic Demon Sea, the journey is very far, and there is an extremely chaotic area in between.
The Chaotic Demon Sea is located in the center of the Tianxuan Continent, with the Four Great Mysterious Domains on one side and the Demon Continent on the other.
Although the Chaotic Demon Sea is called a sea, its range is extremely wide. It is mainly the territory of Sea Beasts, and only the large islands on it are the residences of human forces.
Therefore, the Chaotic Demon Sea is very chaotic. The word 'chaotic' comes from the extreme chaos of the Chaotic Demon Sea.
Moreover, because of this extremely chaotic environment, coupled with the power of the Sea Beasts, the forces that can gain a foothold in the Chaotic Demon Sea are not weak at all.
The most direct thing is that at the junction of the Eastern Xuan Region and the Chaotic Demon Sea, as long as you leave the mainland of the Eastern Xuan Region, you belong to the sphere of influence of the Chaotic Demon Sea. That area is even rampant with pirates, but the Eight Super Sects of the Eastern Xuan Region have chosen to turn a blind eye.
Of course, the strength of the Chaotic Demon Sea is one aspect, and another aspect is that the forces in the Chaotic Demon Sea definitely know more about the Chaotic Demon Sea than the forces in the Eastern Xuan Region.
The most important thing is that land and sea are different. On land, it is easy to identify directions, but in the vast sea, it is not easy to find the right direction, and once you get lost, it is extremely dangerous.
It is precisely because of the great difficulty in tracking traces in the ocean that the Eight Super Sects of the Eastern Xuan Region turn a blind eye to the pirates entrenched in the coastal area of the Eastern Xuan Region.
This situation has led to extremely rampant pirates in the coastal area of the Eastern Xuan Region, and their strength is also very impressive. Among them, there are many Life and Death Profound Realm experts entrenched in that area.
Although Lin Dong's current strength is not bad, and he has many treasures to protect himself, it is probably not something that can be done in a short time to pass through that area.
"Idiot, you really don't use your brain. Who told you to fly over there yourself? Can't you use the Space Ancestor Symbol to send you directly to the Chaotic Demon Sea? If that doesn't work, you can also have the experts from your sect set up a space formation to teleport you over."
Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes. He felt that his cultivation of Lin Dong seemed to have gone awry. This kid has completely stopped using his brain.
In this regard, Yan was also a little helpless. Originally, with Sword Saint and Ice Master taking the lead, those brainy things were not Lin Dong's concern now, so Yan's first requirement for Lin Dong was to become stronger!
After all, Lin Dong was a backup plan prepared by Yan to prevent Sword Saint and Ice Master from failing.
But Lin Dong's current strength simply can't catch up with Ice Master and the others. Of course, this is actually not very urgent. After all, there are still Sword Saint and Ice Master taking the lead.
But as an alternative, Lin Dong can't slack off. No one knows how long this battle will last, so Lin Dong must grow up as soon as possible and become stronger as soon as possible.
Therefore, Yan's teaching to Lin Dong is completely to let Lin Dong concentrate on cultivation and become stronger with all his heart. Only when he is strong enough can he stand up at the most critical moment. This has led to Lin Dong completely delving into Martial Arts.
Lin Dong felt a little awkward upon hearing this. He had forgotten that the Space Ancestor Symbol was currently in Little Marten's hands, and it seemed Little Marten intended to be the master of the Space Ancestor Symbol for a while.
But this was also good. After all, Little Marten was ambushed in the Demon Territory and almost died. This time, after returning, those Otherworldly Demons hidden in the Demon Territory who attacked Little Marten would probably not let him off. But if he had the Space Ancestor Symbol, it would be a trump card, and he would have a better chance of dealing with those hidden Otherworldly Demons.
Even, according to Little Marten's statement at the time, it was very likely that Otherworldly Demons had infiltrated their Sky Demon Marten Tribe. If they didn't prepare some means, the entire Sky Demon Marten Tribe might suffer the Demon Prison's poison.
After all, the Demon Prison could secretly set up a plan in the Eastern Xuan Region and Demonic Contamination Yuan Gate. In the Demon Territory, it was impossible for them not to do anything.
It should be known that compared to the Four Great Mysterious Domains, the Demon Territory had always been the main force of the Tianxuan Continent against the Otherworldly Demon army.
And as one of the four overlord races, the Sky Demon Marten Tribe, if they could Demonic Contamination or eliminate the Sky Demon Marten Tribe, it would be excellent news for the Demon Prison. It might even directly change the entire battle situation.
That was the Sky Demon Marten Tribe, one of the four overlord races. Each one was extremely important to the Tianxuan Continent's side. Losing any one of them would be losing a very heavy bargaining chip.
"That's good. After this Sect Tournament ends, we'll set off and go directly to the Chaotic Demon Sea!"
A fiery look flashed in Lin Dong's eyes. Obviously, he was also very eager for the Thunder Ancestor Symbol. After all, this was a top-notch treasure of heaven and earth like the Ancestor Symbol!
Moreover, Lin Dong also wanted to see the magical power of the Ancestral Stone to balance the Ancestor Symbols. This was Yan's proudest point, and it was said to be the reason why Yan could stabilize the position of the top of the nine great divine objects on the Divine Object Ranking.
"Don't worry, I know what you're worried about, it's okay. In the Demon Territory, the high-level members of the four overlords, and even the eight royal families, basically know about the Otherworldly Demons. Even if that little Sky Demon Marten can't handle it, he can ask the other overlords for help."
Yan said nonchalantly, but such a casual sentence instantly awakened Lin Dong.
Yes, the four overlord races all knew about the Demon Prison. Little Marten didn't need to carry it alone. He could completely ask the other overlord races for help.
"Yan, thank you for waking me up!"
