"Is that thing impossible to erase?" Lin Yi asked, feigning ignorance.
"It is a king. If I were in my prime, I might have been able to kill it, but not now..."
"Before you, others came here, but in the end, none of them returned," the spirit of the monument said slowly.
“They were my Dao Sect’s seniors, but they are all gone now. It’s not that they broke their promise to you,” Lin Yi said, shrugging.
After a brief exchange, the two sides reached a deal between the Great Desolate Monument and Lin Yi.
It handed the Great Desolation Scripture to Lin Yi, and Lin Yi would later bring back two Ancestral Symbols to help it eliminate the Demon King.
"Don't worry, senior, I will definitely find the second Ancestral Symbol within three years," Lin Yi said solemnly to the spirit of the monument.
The figure on the monument seemed to nod, and then the monument trembled. The ancient characters on it broke free and roared out, eventually transforming into four ancient yellow characters that floated in front of Lin Yi, spreading an aura of desolation and vastness.
The Great Desolation Sutra!
Immediately, the spirit of the monument introduced the Great Desolation Scripture to Lin Yi and gave him some instructions on precautions to take during cultivation.
"Thank you, senior."
Lin Yi thanked the spirit of the monument, then sat down cross-legged, took a deep breath, and his mind quickly returned to tranquility.
As Lin Yi regained his composure, the four ancient characters that had been hovering around him suddenly roared down and plunged directly into the depths of his mind from the top of his head.
Buzz!
As the four ancient characters entered his mind, Lin Yi's body trembled violently. He could feel a vast amount of ancient and gray information sweeping through his mind...
In the quiet and dark space, Lin Yi sat cross-legged, and as time passed, a withered yellow light gradually emanated from his body, becoming increasingly intense.
Under that light, the rubble where he sat also quietly crumbled.
On the stone tablet, the spirit watched Lin Yi's every move. After a long while, a deep and ancient voice slowly rang out: "I hope the person chosen this time won't make a mistake. There's no more time..."
Time slips away quietly.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.
Including the past half month, more than a month has passed since the Great Wasteland Monument was opened.
In the past month or so, Pang Tong, Jiang Hao, Song Zhou, and Fang Yun have all failed.
Now, Lin Yi has become the focus of everyone's attention in the Dao Sect!
In that part of the sky, Jiang Hao, Pang Tong, and the other three, who had failed to comprehend the Great Desolation Scripture, had awakened. They looked at the tall figure in front of the stone tablet with rather complicated expressions.
No one could have imagined that Lin Yi, who had joined the Desolate Palace the shortest time, would become the first person in the Desolate Palace to successfully comprehend the Great Desolation Scripture a hundred years later.
The Great Desolation Scripture had been uncomprehended for a century since the legendary genius of the Dao Sect, but now, that record has finally been broken!
The person who broke this record was just a young disciple who had joined the Dao Sect less than a year ago.
During this period, all the disciples of the Desolate Hall regained the confidence they had not had for a long time when facing the other three halls.
Faced with their confidence, even the disciples of the Heavenly Palace could no longer display any sense of superiority.
Because they all understood that once the young man sitting quietly in front of the stone tablet successfully comprehended the Great Desolation Scripture, the upcoming palace examination might truly be quite exciting.
Lin Yi had a record of killing a Nine-Yuan Nirvana Realm expert before this. Once he successfully comprehends the Great Desolation Scripture, how powerful will he become?
This imperial examination is likely to be a fierce battle.
"This guy... he's actually going to succeed, it doesn't make sense at all..."
In the sky, Ying Huanhuan looked at the figure in front of the stone tablet, curled her lips, and said.
After learning that Lin Yi seemed unlikely to fail, the girl suppressed her previous worries about him and pretended to be annoyed.
Of course, the most important thing was that she overheard some whispers about the imperial examination, and in this situation, she obviously had to stand on her sister's side.
"Weren't you worried a while ago that he would be discouraged if he failed to comprehend it? Are you saying this specifically to me now?" Ying Xiaoxiao glanced at her and said with a half-smile.
"No way, even if Lin Yi comprehends the Great Desolation Scripture, he definitely won't be a match for you, sister," Ying Huanhuan quickly stated upon hearing this.
"Not always……"
However, Ying Xiaoxiao shook her head slightly at these words. Her eyes were fixed on the figure in front of the stone tablet, and a rare and intense heat surged from the depths of her eyes.
"I'd also like to try and see just how powerful the Great Desolation Scripture really is..."
Seeing Ying Xiaoxiao's expression, Ying Huanhuan secretly stuck out her tongue. It seemed her sister was starting to see Lin Yi as a rival...
"The outcome will soon be clear."
As Ying Huanhuan's mind wandered, Ying Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly sharpened, and she slowly spoke.
Upon hearing this, Ying Huanhuan was slightly startled. She quickly looked up and saw that the light on the Great Desolate Stele was gradually weakening.
And that tall figure, shrouded in the pillar of light, reappeared under everyone's tense gaze.
Everyone stared at the figure with tense expressions. They were eager to know whether Lin Yi's month-long period of meditation had been a success or a failure.

The enormous pillar of light slowly dissipated.
As the beam of light dissipated, the tall figure who had been sitting quietly for over a month finally appeared under the convergence of countless gazes.
The entire world seemed to fall into a brief silence at this moment.
In that silence, the young man before the stone tablet slowly opened his tightly closed eyes.
The instant his eyes opened, everyone could feel an invisible wave suddenly spreading out from his body.
Chi Chi!
An invisible wave spread, and then everyone was shocked to see that the land and trees within a radius of several hundred meters where Lin Yi was sitting were becoming barren at a visible speed.
The once lush greenery has turned withered and desolate in the blink of an eye.
That fluctuation was somewhat similar to the desolate energy of the Desolate Palace, but it was purer and more terrifying; it was the true aura of desolation!
"This desolate aura is even purer than barren rocks..." Wu Dao stared intently at Lin Yi's figure, a hint of excitement showing on his aged face.
Chen Zhen nodded slowly, a hearty smile appearing on his old face: "This little guy, it seems he really succeeded..."
Not only Wu Dao and Chen Zhen, but also the other three hall masters and deputy hall masters, including Qi Lei, were all amazed.
However, the two hall masters of the Heavenly Palace still had considerable confidence in Xiaoxiao. "I'll wait for the palace examination in three months. Then we'll know who is stronger, Lin Yi or Xiaoxiao. The position of the head of the four halls will not be easily given up by our Heavenly Palace."
Not only the palace masters, but all the Dao Sect disciples gathered in the desolate palace were also discussing it.
Amidst the cacophony of sounds filling the mountains and fields, Lin Yi exhaled a deep breath of white air, then stood up, his gaze fixed on the enormous stone tablet before him.
He then bowed deeply to the stone tablet, saying, "I will do my utmost to fulfill the senior's instructions."
"Buzz!"
The Great Desolate Stele seemed to have heard Lin Yi's voice. The stele trembled slightly, and then a crack appeared on the stele. Two thin streams of light swept down and hovered in front of Lin Yi.
They were two perfectly round stone beads, each only the size of a thumb, and with an ancient yellow color.
"This is the Desolate Pearl. In times of crisis, it might be of some help to you. This is the greatest assistance I can offer. As for whether you can bring back the Ancestral Symbol, that depends on yourself..."
"I hope we'll meet again someday..."
The ancient voice of the Great Desolate Stele quietly resounded in Lin Yi's heart. As the voice faded, the huge stele trembled violently, and then the earth shook, cracks spreading out.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the colossal monument slowly sank, eventually disappearing back into the ground.
Lin Yi watched this scene quietly, flipped his hand to put away the two Desolate Beads, and then slowly turned around.
At this moment, in the distance, under the sky and on the ground, a sea of people, countless eyes were fixed on him with burning intensity.
Although they had already guessed something, what they needed now was a definite answer!
"Hey, did you succeed or not? Give me an answer!"
Just as Lin Yi was feeling a bit numb from being stared at by countless fiery gazes, a girl with a black ponytail stepped forward from the sky not far away, placed her hands on her slender waist, and let out a clear, crisp shout that echoed in the sky.
"Junior Sister Huanhuan is right, give us an answer quickly!"
As soon as Ying Huanhuan finished speaking, the previously quiet crowd erupted into a frenzy.
Ying Huanhuan's influence among the young disciples of the Dao Sect was indeed extraordinary. Not to mention the disciples of the other three halls, even some people from their own Desolate Hall followed Ying Huanhuan and spoke out against her.
Upon seeing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
Ying Huanhuan stared at Lin Yi with a charming smile, the corners of her lips slightly upturned. Clearly, such strong support made the girl a little smug.
The re-emergence of the Great Desolation Scripture will be a very significant event for the entire Daoist sect.
Therefore, when Ying Huanhuan led these thousands of disciples to deliberately harass Lin Yi, not only Ying Xiaoxiao, but even the four palace masters in the sky did not stop her.
As the center of attention, Lin Yi glanced at Ying Huanhuan, who had a smug look on her face, and a smile appeared on his face before he took a step forward.
laugh!
The moment Lin Yi took his first step, the desolation around him rapidly spread outwards, and the power of desolation surged from the earth into Lin Yi's body.
Swish!
As the power surged forth, Lin Yi's forward-stepping figure suddenly vanished, then appeared directly in front of Ying Huanhuan amidst the exclamations of surprise. His fingers, radiating a strong aura of desolation, moved with lightning speed, pointing towards Ying Huanhuan's smooth forehead.
Lin Yi's attack was several times faster than before, so even Ying Huanhuan could only watch helplessly as his fingers, containing astonishing power, fell upon her, unable to dodge.
However, the girl was quite stubborn, biting her lip without uttering a single word of help, her bright eyes fixed on Lin Yi.
Lin Yi's fingers finally paused on the girl's forehead, and upon seeing this, Ying Huanhuan's eyebrows immediately lifted slightly.
The next second, Lin Yi flicked her forehead with his finger, which immediately caused the girl's face to show a hint of resentment.
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and smiled, "I have successfully comprehended the Great Desolation Scripture. I wonder if someone still remembers the agreement we made back then."
The world was silent for a moment, then thunderous cheers erupted, especially among the disciples of the Desolate Palace, who were extremely excited!
Their abandoned temple had finally reached this day.
"I...I have something to do, I'll go first..." Ying Huanhuan blushed when she heard Lin Yi's words, glared at Lin Yi fiercely, and then quickly flew away into the distance.
Lin Yi watched Ying Huanhuan's departing figure, then smiled and shook his head.
Just then, the system's familiar voice rang out in Lin Yi's mind once again.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully comprehended the Great Desolation Scripture, becoming famous throughout the entire Dao Sect. You are rewarded with one Life-Giving Profound Spirit Fruit!]
