Chapter 317: The Great Desolate Monument Spirit
When Lin Changqiang came to his senses, the darkness around him had receded like a tide, replaced by a plain and barren land with only a tall stone tablet about ten feet tall standing before him.

The entire stone tablet is a simple yellow color. Apart from being slightly brighter, it looks no different from the Great Desolation Stele. If you look closely, you can see mysterious runes surrounding the body of the tablet.

But Lin Changqiang didn't care about the runes. He just stared at the bottom of the stone tablet. There, black lines composed of thousands of fine threads were wriggling from time to time, like the tentacles of a devil tightly wrapped around the stone tablet. Every time it squirmed, a little black mist would spray out, emitting ominous, evil and cold fluctuations.

"Devil..."

After a little thought, Lin Changqiang sighed and did not purify directly.

Unlike the abnormal conditions that were usually eliminated, the demons were not dead things. If the purification was not to destroy them but to separate them from the Great Desolate Monument, then with his current cultivation level facing a demon king of the second level of reincarnation, he couldn't even imagine what the consequences would be.

"You've already heard about the alien demons when you've just reached Nirvana. It seems like you've had a lot of opportunities along the way."

The surface of the stone tablet suddenly lit up slightly, and an old figure with white hair emerged from it. He looked at Lin Changqiang without blinking, and then his face soon turned happy.

"It is indeed the Qiankun Ancient Formation, and it does have the aura of the Ancestral Talisman, but..."

Sensing the aura of the ancestral talisman in front of him, the old man was suddenly stunned, then frowned and moved closer to Lin Changqiang, feeling it for a moment in disbelief, and then the hoarse voice sounded again.

"What kind of ancestral talisman is this? Why have I never seen it before?" The old man looked at Lin Changqiang, his eyes full of confusion and astonishment.

As the third most powerful divine object between heaven and earth, he was extremely familiar with the eight ancestral talismans. The ancestral talisman before him did contain the power of rules, but it did not belong to any of the ones he knew!
"Star Ancestral Talisman." After saying that, Lin Changqiang did not intend to continue introducing it, but directly summoned Moonlight and Sunlight in his left and right hands, "Although it is not one of the eight ancestral talismans, it may be of some use to the troubles encountered by the senior."

The old man did not answer directly, but stretched out his index finger and touched the two energy balls one after another. He carefully felt it for a moment before nodding, but then slowly shook his head.

"It's useful, but not enough." He sighed, "Although your ancestral talisman also contains the power of rules, it is somewhat different from other ancestral talismans."

"Even if the masters of other ancestral talismans have a low level of cultivation, they can still exert the corresponding abilities of each ancestral talisman, such as the fire of the flame ancestral talisman and the lightning of the thunder ancestral talisman. However, your ancestral talisman is forcibly divided into several stages. These two energies are only the most basic abilities. Although they still have a suppressive effect on the alien demons, they are slightly worse than other ancestral talismans. However..."

The old man hesitated for a moment, and once again carefully sensed the ancestral talisman in Lin Changqiang's body, then nodded confidently.

“When you reach the next stage of Shengxuan Realm through cultivation, this ancestral talisman’s suppression effect on alien demons may be stronger than any other ancestral talisman!”

After hearing this, even though Lin Changqiang had already made some assumptions, he still couldn't help but feel a little happy.

The system's product is truly extraordinary!
“I see. Then I wonder if you can also bring Lin Dong, the one with the Devouring Ancestral Talisman in his body. Even if the two ancestral talismans cannot destroy the alien demon, I think they will be of some help to you.”

Hearing this, the old man nodded and slowly closed his eyes...

In Dao Sect, around the barren mountain, many disciples were chattering and discussing, with no sign of leaving.

The test of the Great Desolate Monument will last for one month. Even if one cannot comprehend it, one cannot voluntarily withdraw. Therefore, everyone is prepared to wait for a long time and even practice here. Even several hall masters such as Chen Zhen are no exception. But at this moment, the Great Desolate Monument, which should have been silent, suddenly moved.

boom!
The towering body of the monument trembled slightly, causing countless pieces of rubble to roll down from the barren mountain. Cries of surprise rang out one after another, and everyone looked at the monument with astonishment, only to see that the surface of the monument was rippling with light like water waves, and a vague shadow of an old man was looming in the waves.

Upon seeing this huge shadow, several senior executives including Chen Zhen and Wu Dao were stunned. They thought there was something wrong with their eyes and looked around uncertainly, but they all saw shock in each other's eyes.

"Then, is that the spirit of the Great Desolate Monument?" Wudao's voice trembled a little, but this time even Chen Zhen, who was usually indifferent, was not calm, and was even more excited than Wudao.

“It’s the stele spirit, it’s the stele spirit!” He couldn’t contain his joy, and even had tears in his eyes. “This is what Senior Brother Zhou Tong looked like when he successfully comprehended the Great Desolate Scripture!”

"That's bullshit. When Senior Brother Zhou Tong was comprehending the Great Desolate Scripture, it took him at least half a month. How the hell did he succeed right after comprehending it? It's outrageous!"

Beside the two, Qi Lei couldn't help but burst out swearing, and the others were not much better, all of them were shocked. In the end, Xu Bin was the first to come to his senses and patted Pao Wudao on the shoulder.

"Congratulations, both of you. Now my Earth Palace ranking will drop to third place."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhen and Wu Dao looked at each other in a daze, feeling as if they were dreaming. The two people from Hong Dian nearby initially looked pale, but soon they also sighed and also stepped forward to congratulate. For a moment, everyone was filled with mixed emotions.

After hundreds of years, Dao Zong finally had a disciple who comprehended the Great Desolate Sutra!

Around the desolate mountain, disciples gradually learned the news. The world was in an uproar. Ying Huanhuan and Ying Xiaoxiao were in even more complicated feelings. But before they could discuss for long, the Great Desolate Monument trembled again.

Everyone looked quickly, only to see that the dim light that originally covered six people suddenly shook, and Pang Tong and the other four, who had just sat down for a few minutes, were bounced out in confusion. Fortunately, they reacted quickly and stabilized their bodies in time, so they did not fall directly. Then the light gradually gathered and turned into a dazzling beam of light that enveloped Lin Changqiang and Lin Dong.

Lin Dong also succeeded???

The surroundings were so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, but the next second, the whole world was suddenly noisy and the whole place was boiling!

In the silent gravel ground, Lin Dong, who had just arrived here, was still a little confused. The old man's figure came in front of him. He subconsciously wanted to strike out with a palm to repel the other party. Fortunately, Lin Changqiang on the side raised his chin in time and pointed at the stone tablet.

"Senior, are you the spirit of the Great Desolate Monument?"

Lin Dong withdrew his hand and stood up. The old man finally finished his investigation and came back to his senses.

“Not bad.” He looked at Lin Dong with emotion in his eyes, “There are quite a few things I’m familiar with in your body, including the Great Wilderness King’s martial arts, the ancestral talisman, and that old thing, the ancestral stone.”

Hearing this, Lin Dong was confused at first, but he quickly reacted and clenched his right hand.

After practicing for so long, the stone talisman that even Aokiji hadn't discovered was actually seen through by the other party at a glance.

"It's the Devouring Ancestral Talisman. It seems that the guy with the black pupil has also fallen." The old man muttered to himself, and then walked back to the monument. "Before you, other people have come here. My request to them is exactly the same, that is, to bring back two ancestral talismans to help me. It's a pity that they never came back."

"This is not surprising. After all, the ancestral talismans are not that easy to come by. According to common sense, if someone can bring two ancestral talismans back to me, then his cultivation must have reached the Wheel-turning Realm at least, which is more than enough to deal with the beasts I sealed. But you two..."

As he was talking, the old man looked at Lin Changqiang and then at Lin Dong with a strange expression: "You two are only in the Nirvana Realm, and you actually got two ancestral talismans without being snatched away? This luck is too outrageous."

Lin Changqiang smiled and did not deny it. Lin Dong was also a little embarrassed. When he first got the ancestral talisman, he actually had no deep understanding of it. As his cultivation level increased and his knowledge broadened, he became more and more aware of the preciousness of the ancestral talisman.
