“He was taken to see the sect leader by Uncle Chenzhen. The sect leader will probably reward him. But don’t worry, given his personality, he would never miss the chance to comprehend the Great Desolation Scripture,” Pang Tong said.
Not only Pang Tong and his group, but also Ying Xiaoxiao and Ying Huanhuan, the sisters from the Heavenly Palace, Qingye from the Earthly Palace, and Mu Li, the personal disciple of the Hong Palace, all rushed over from the nearby mountain peak.
Ying Huanhuan looked around with her big eyes, but didn't see that familiar figure. She frowned slightly and said, "Lin Yi isn't here? Does he want to miss this opportunity?"
"It's not surprising that he has such thoughts. Although Junior Brother Lin Yi has good talent, he has only just joined the Desolate Palace," Qingye said with a faint smile.
“That guy joined the Desolate Palace with the goal of obtaining the Great Desolate Scripture, how could he possibly give up such an opportunity?” Ying Huanhuan rolled her eyes at Qingye and said.
Seeing Ying Huanhuan's knowing attitude towards Lin Yi, Qingye felt displeased, but she didn't show it.
Ying Xiaoxiao shook her head slightly, ignoring them, and instead focused her gaze on the location of the Great Desolate Monument.
"Sister, do you think anyone from the Desolate Palace will succeed this time?" Ying Huanhuan stared at the colossal creature emerging from the mountain with a look of shock in her big eyes, and asked in a low voice while holding Ying Xiaoxiao's fair wrist.
“The chances of Jiang Hao and the other three being successful are slim,” Ying Xiaoxiao glanced at Ying Huanhuan, paused for a moment, and then continued, “As for Lin Yi… perhaps there is a chance.”
"Oh..." Ying Huanhuan nodded quietly, her long eyelashes fluttering gently, her expression a little complicated.
"What's wrong?" Ying Xiaoxiao asked, somewhat puzzled.
"If that guy really succeeds in comprehending it, then wouldn't I have to do whatever he says..." Ying Huanhuan hesitated for a moment before stammering, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Upon hearing this, Ying Xiaoxiao was both amused and exasperated, then glared at her, "Serves you right."
Rumble!
The mountain trembled violently, but eventually it gradually subsided. Everyone looked up at the giant stone tablet that appeared at the summit, its top almost touching the Dan River. In front of that stone tablet, they were as insignificant as ants.
And this is the Great Desolate Monument!
The most powerful of the Four Great Scriptures, the Great Desolation Scripture, is contained within it, but whether anyone will be able to comprehend it this time remains unknown...
Chapter 236 The Spirit of the Stele Appears, Causing a Sensation! [Please Read On]
At the summit, a massive stone tablet, a thousand feet tall, stands silently, its yellowish-brown surface a result of the passage of time.
An unusually ancient and weathered aura emanated from the stone tablet, gradually filling the entire area with a desolate atmosphere.
A desolate atmosphere enveloped the world, as if even the sky had turned yellowish. In that instant, many people present felt as if they had traveled to an ancient land.
Everyone wore solemn expressions amidst the desolate landscape, and the previous clamor subsided as they gazed with burning reverence at the colossal stone monument that had broken through the mountain.
Chen Zhen and Wu Dao gazed at the Great Desolate Stele, sighing for a moment. Then, Chen Zhen looked at Jiang Hao and the other three in the Desolate Hall and said in a deep voice:
"Get ready. Remember, don't force yourself. This kind of martial art depends on chance; you can't force it."
"Yes!"
Jiang Hao and the other three responded with excitement, then exchanged glances before bursting forth. Finally, under the watchful eyes of countless people, they landed in front of the stone tablet atop the mountain.
At the edge of the cliff there, several craggy rocks jut out, smooth as mirrors. Sitting cross-legged on them, looking up at the colossal monument a thousand feet high, a feeling of being like an ant arises spontaneously...
Jiang Hao and his three companions sat down cross-legged on the green rock with solemn expressions. Although they concealed it very well, there was still a trace of panic deep in their eyes, which was due to the oppressive feeling brought by the giant stone tablet.
As Jiang Hao and his group of four landed in front of the stone tablet, the noise around them rose again. Then, some people seemed to realize that something was missing, and their eyes immediately began to scan the entire mountainside.
"That guy is such a big shot, he always makes people wait for him..."
Ying Huanhuan naturally understood what these people were looking for. Although Lin Yi had only joined the Dao Sect not long ago, his reputation had soared rapidly, especially after he killed Yao Ling, the leader of the Demon Seal Clan, more than half a month ago, which made him even more famous.
call out!
As everyone's gaze swept across the sky, a sudden, rapid whooshing sound came from the distance.
"Lin Yi has finally arrived..."
Soon, many people recognized the newcomer and couldn't help but shout out.
Whispers echoed throughout the land.
Ignoring the discussions, Lin Yi approached Chen Zhen and Wu Dao, asking, "My two senior uncles, I haven't missed anything, have I?"
Chen Zhen and Wu Dao scanned Lin Yi with their eyes, then their gazes narrowed slightly. With their discerning eyes, they could naturally see that Lin Yi's strength had improved considerably once again.
“This guy…” Chen Zhen and Wu Dao exchanged a glance, both seeing a look of joy and surprise in each other’s eyes.
"Since you're here, then go. Remember, don't push yourself too hard. Although the Great Desolation Scripture is powerful, its greatest strength lies within itself," Wu Dao waved his hand and laughed.
"Disciples are taught."
Lin Yi smiled and agreed, then moved swiftly, drifting towards the last green rock in front of the Great Desolate Monument.
hum!
As Lin Yi was examining the Great Desolate Stele, a subtle fluctuation suddenly emanated from his body.
That slight fluctuation actually came from the stone talisman inside his body!
Moreover, the fluctuation carried a very obvious targeting, a situation Lin Yi had never encountered since obtaining the stone talisman.
Lin Yi was well aware of this, so he didn't spend much time studying it and simply sat cross-legged on the green rock.
Seeing that all five people had taken their seats, Chen Zhen waved his sleeve, and a tremendous force of desolation swept out from his body, finally transforming into a streak of light that streaked across the sky and landed on the massive surface of the Great Desolate Stele.
Buzz!
As the immense desolate energy landed on the Great Desolate Monument, the monument trembled slightly. Then, beams of dark yellow light shot out from the monument, eventually enveloping Lin Yi and the other four people standing before it.
The moment the light enveloped him, Lin Yi's body trembled violently, and then he felt an irresistible suction force surging out from the surface of the monument.
In the next instant, his mind began to blur, and his vision quickly went dark.
All eyes were focused on the figure enveloped by the five pillars of light. Judging from his appearance, it seemed that he had already begun to comprehend the Great Desolation Scripture.
……
The sky was shrouded in a thick, dense fog, completely without any gaps, resembling the sky before the heavens and earth were fully separated at the beginning of creation.
Beneath the gray sky stretched an endless expanse of desolate land, the ground a grayish-yellow color, with occasional withered grass, but devoid of any sign of life.
At that moment, on that boundless, desolate land, a figure stood with a furrowed brow.
This figure was none other than Lin Yi, who had entered the Great Desolate Stele. Looking at this ancient and desolate environment, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.
He could feel his power dissipating every second.
This feeling is very uncomfortable.
“Great Desolate Stele, I know you are conscious. Let’s make a deal. You pass on the Great Desolate Scripture to me, and I will help you eliminate these strange things…”
Lin Yi reached out his large hand and used his devouring power to suck out a floating black spot from the dust on the ground, making it float in his palm. His clear voice resounded throughout this desolate space.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi activated the stone talisman again. The stone talisman and the Devouring Ancestral Talisman worked together, and it took half a month to erase that tiny black spot!
The main problem is that he is too weak right now, and the stone talisman has been damaged too badly.
On the vast, desolate land, there was no sound or movement.
Lin Yi's condition worsened, and after completely erasing the black spot, Lin Yi said again, "You gave Senior Zhou Tong a chance before, why not try again?"
"As long as you pass on the Great Desolation Scripture to me, I will definitely help you completely eliminate these disgusting things one day. Those things must be causing you a lot of pain, right?"
Suddenly, Lin Yi sensed that his power was no longer dissipating.
On the desolate land, a gentle breeze suddenly blew by, and then waves rose up on the ground. These waves came from all directions and finally converged on Lin Yi.
Lin Yi's body quickly recovered to its peak condition.
Click, click, click!
This desolate land suddenly cracked open, revealing fissures that looked like distorted patterns.
Heaven and earth finally collapsed completely, and darkness surged in from all directions, engulfing Lin Yi's body.
Meanwhile, outside, within the Dao Sect's mountains, the atmosphere remained noisy.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the Great Desolate Monument trembled violently, and beams of light condensed on its surface, eventually transforming into a dazzling pillar of light that almost solidified and shot out, completely enveloping Lin Yi's body.
Wow!
Gazing at the dazzling beam of light, everyone was instantly in an uproar, and many faces were filled with shock.
The light waves gathered on the Great Desolate Monument, and eventually, the surface of the monument became like a mirror. Faintly, within that mirror, a blurry, enormous shadow seemed to appear and disappear...
Just as that enormous shadow emerged from the surface of the monument, the pupils of Chenzhen, Wudao, and the other hall masters all constricted instantly, and even their breathing became rapid.
They exchanged a glance, both seeing a look of shock in each other's eyes.
"That's... the spirit of the monument?" Wu Dao's voice became very hoarse.
"That's right. Back when I was just a disciple, I witnessed Senior Zhou Tong comprehending the Great Desolation Scripture. A similar shadow appeared on the stele..." Qi Lei said slowly, then looked at Chen Zhen and the other, saying, "Congratulations. This time, your Desolate Palace is likely to turn things around..."
Chenzhen and Wudao looked at each other and laughed, their laughter even bringing tears to their eyes. After a hundred years, their desolate palace had finally produced another disciple who could comprehend the Great Desolation Scripture!
"Sister, is he about to succeed in comprehending it?" On another mountain peak, Ying Huanhuan looked at the movement on the Great Desolate Stele and exclaimed in surprise.
Ying Xiaoxiao's expression was complicated. She nodded and said, "I've heard my senior uncles mention that he's indeed on the verge of successfully comprehending the Great Desolation Scripture. I never expected that he would actually succeed in comprehending it, and in such a short time..."
Upon hearing this, Ying Huanhuan's face lit up with even greater joy, genuinely happy for Lin Yi. Suddenly, remembering their promise, her smile froze...
Chapter 237 The Transaction, Comprehending the Great Wilderness Scripture! [Please Read On]
Darkness spread, but when Lin Yi opened his eyes, it receded like a tide, revealing a desolate, rocky wasteland before him.
Lin Yi immediately noticed an ancient yellow stone tablet about ten feet in the distance. The tablet was exactly the same as the Great Desolate Tablet, except that some ancient runes could be seen on its surface.
Lin Yi's gaze swept over the stone tablet, and he saw that there were traces of black lines climbing out from the bottom of the stone tablet.
These black lines, like the tentacles of a demon, are evil and cold. With a slight wriggling motion, they continuously erode the stone tablet, resembling a virus.
Hey.
Suddenly, the surface of the stone tablet rippled slightly, and then a blurry figure emerged from the tablet. Its gaze fell on Lin Yi, and a hoarse voice, ancient enough to touch the soul, rang out.
"There are so many familiar things inside you... The Devouring Ancestral Symbol has also found another master. It seems that guy has also fallen..."
Lin Yi looked at the shadow of the stone tablet, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Senior, this should be the spirit of the Great Desolate Tablet. It seems there's something wrong with your current state?"
The spirit of the Great Desolate Stele didn't say much. Suddenly, a burst of light surged on the surface of the stele, and then it seemed to turn into a stone mirror. The mirror surface shimmered with light, showing Lin Yi some of the grand scenes that took place during the great war between heaven and earth. The last scene was the Great Desolate Stele suppressing the alien demon king.
"You're right, I do have a problem, and the root of the problem is what I'm suppressing," a figure materialized on the monument, and an ancient and hoarse voice slowly rang out.
