Chapter 1278: Opening the Ancestral Citadel

The next day . Within the Flame Divine Hall, a couple of figures stood in midair . Meanwhile, in their vicinity, there were countless experts staring at them from afar . Moreover, all of them had an excited expression within their eyes, which could not be concealed . Clearly, through certain means, they learnt that today was the day whereby six Ancient Masters would join forces to open the “Ancestral Citadel”, a place left behind by the legendary Symbol Ancestor .

It was rumoured that if one trains within the “Ancestral Citadel”, one would have a much higher chance of making a breakthrough . This was especially the case for Samsara stage experts . In fact, they were able to make use of it to take the most important step forward, and advance to the Reincarnation stage!

This frightening ability caused countless people to become envious . In fact, it was likely that only a legendary figure like the Symbol Ancestor, could leave such a divine item behind .

Ying Huanhuan and the other five stood quietly in the sky . Although there wasn’t an earth shaking commotion, everyone could sense the frightening waves churning beneath the calm exterior .

Lin Dong was standing at a short distance away from them . Behind him, Qingzhi, Qingtan, Mo Luo and Tang Xinlian were also looking in the same direction .

“Let’s begin . ” Ying Huanhuan glanced at the five of them before she softly said .

The Darkness Master and the four others exchanged glances with each other upon hearing this . Then, a complicated emotion flashed across their eyes before they gently nodded .

“Yan . ”

Ying Huanhuan beckoned with her hand before a warm light shot out from within Lin Dong’s body . Finally, it turned into the Ancestor Stone and floated in midair . After which, Yan’s body also appeared outside the Ancestor Stone .

“Do you really want to open the Ancestral Citadel?” Yan glanced at Ying Huanhuan . Then, he hesitated for a moment before he asked .

“At a time like this, do you still think that I am joking?” Ying Huanhuan asked faintly .

Yan laughed bitterly before he nodded helplessly . Then, his body moved before he tunneled into the Ancestor Stone . After which, the Ancestor Stone landed in Ying Huanhuan’s palm .

Ying Huanhuan toyed with the warm Ancestor Stone in her hand . Then, a glint flashed across her pretty blue eyes, before she tilted her head and smiled at Lin Dong, who was at a short distance away .

When Lin Dong saw her smile, he did not feel the slightest joy . Instead, he felt that the uneasy sensation within his heart had intensified . When he realized this, he promptly rushed forward before he appeared beside Ying Huanhuan . Grabbing her wrist, he asked, “Can we stop now? I can train by myself . ”

Ying Huanhuan lowered her pretty eyes and replied, “The Ancestral Citadel is a treasure left behind by teacher to help us to fight the Yimo . It is able to increase the fighting strength of our forces . Therefore, I am not opening the Ancestral Citadel just for you . It is also for the sake of winning the second world war . ”

Lin Dong gritted his teeth gently .

“Don’t worry . I’ll be fine . ” Ying Huanhuan smiled . Then, she extended her delicate arms before she gently hugged Lin Dong . After which, she swung her jade like arm, before the Ancestor Stone in her hand shot forward .

“Let’s begin . ”

A bright and intense light suddenly erupted from within the Ancestor Stone . After which, those light rays entwined in the sky before they seemingly formed a massive formation .

“It is your turn now!” Yan’s voice was emitted from within the Ancestor Stone .

“Flame!”

The Flame Master was the first to act . With a grave expression on his face, he stomped gently with his foot . Promptly, monstrous flames swept out from within his body . Moreover, these flames were all made up of Yuan Power and they were extremely hot . In fact, they were filled with the strength of the Blazing Ancestral Symbol .

The Flame Master swung his sleeve, before the frightening Yuan Power flames promptly charged into that huge formation . Immediately, they caused the formation to become increasingly solidified .  

“Space!”

A loud cry was emitted from within this place, before silver Yuan Power spluttered forth .

“Darkness!”

“Chaos!”

“Thunderbolt!”

Another three equally frightening energy whizzed forward . Finally, they entwined with one another . In fact, due to those frightening energy, even the world began to tremble .

Five frightening streams of energy poured into that light formation . After which, a bright and resplendent light erupted from within the formation . Meanwhile, one could vaguely see an ancient citadel located within that light .

After they did their part, the Flame Master and the four others turned their heads and looked at Ying Huanhuan . After which, the latter clenched her teeth gently before an ancient icy symbol surfaced in her hand . Promptly, her originally icy blue pretty eyes became much colder .

“Ice!”

A voice that seemed capable of freezing the air itself, left Ying Huanhuan’s lips . Promptly, she waved her jade like hands, before snow white cold aura began to spread in all directions . Then, they actually transformed into a huge ice phoenix, before it flapped its wings and soared . Finally, that phoenix charged into the formation .

After that large ice phoenix charge into the formation, the five streams of energy originally present in the formation, were forced to take a few steps back . However, soon after, as the six of them manipulated their respective energy, the six frightening streams of energy began to merge . Finally, they assimilated completely with the formation itself .

Rumble!

Right after the six streams of energy merged, that massive formation began to tremble violently . Following which, bright light erupted before that blurry ancient citadel began to look increasingly vivid .

Ying Huanhuan and the other five continued to channel their frightening energy . This directly caused the surrounding Yuan Power to churn and boil wildly .

“Form!”

Suddenly, the pupils of Ying Huanhuan’s group hardened . After which, all of them formed a mysterious seal with their hands, before a strange ripple began to spread .

Buzz buzz!

After that ripple was transmitted into the huge formation, the formation began to tremble violently . After the light gradually scattered, white fog rose . Following which, a huge ancient citadel had actually appeared above the formation from out of nowhere!

The ancient citadel looked relatively old and it did not look like a luxurious place . The citadel’s surroundings were also covered with mysterious and obscure symbols . Meanwhile, a mysterious and obscure fluctuation, which could not be described with words, spread . Vaguely, it seemed like divine music was playing as well .  

“Is this the Ancestral Citadel?”

Countless individuals stared at this ancient citadel, which had appeared within the formation, with wild heat in their eyes . Was this the object left behind by that legendary Symbol Ancestor?

Currently, there was a light barrier outside the citadel, forming a natural obstacle which prevented anyone from entering . Obviously, not everyone could enter a place like this .

“Ancestral Citadel . ”

Lin Dong lifted his head to stare at that ancient citadel . Soon after, he turned to look at Ying Huanhuan, who was standing in front of him . Following which, he quickly stepped forward and asked in a concerned manner, “Are you alright?”

Currently, Ying Huanhuan had a slightly pale expression on her pretty face . She faced Lin Dong before she smiled and shook her head . After which, she stealthily kept her small delicate hand within her sleeve before she said, “Let’s go in together . ”

After she spoke those words, she headed directly towards the Ancestral Citadel . When Lin Dong saw this, he hesitated for a moment before he quickly followed behind .  

When Ying Huanhuan approached the citadel, the ice symbol in her hand flashed twice . Immediately, the light barrier outside the formation slowly tore apart . Following which, Ying Huanhuan’s body moved before she dashed inside .

Lin Dong quickly followed her in . His feet had only just landed in the Ancestral Citadel, when he realized that his body had became much heavier . He lifted his head in surprise, only to realize that there were countless tiny raindrops falling within the Ancestral Citadel . Moreover, it seemed as though these rain droplets were able to float as they did not land on the ground . When Lin Dong extended his hand to touch one of them, his heart suddenly shook . This was because he realized that there were Reincarnation fluctuations hidden within these rain droplets!

“What a frightening creation . ”

Lin Dong was completely bewildered . It’s no wonder the Ancestral Citadel could vastly increase the odds that one could make a successful breakthrough to the Reincarnation stage . It turns out there were actually such mysteries here .  

“This is only the outer part of the Ancestral Citadel . ”

Ying Huanhuan said softly . However, her footsteps did not stop as she headed directly towards the deepest part of the Ancestral Citadel . Lin Dong quickly followed behind .

The both of them crossed many courtyards before they finally arrived at the deepest part of the Ancestral Citadel . Currently, the square was filled with lush green trees . Moreover, these trees were all emitting powerful Reincarnation ripples . This caused Lin Dong to be bewildered . This was indeed an item left behind by the Symbol Ancestor .

Lin Dong surveyed the place . Finally, he focused his attention on the middle of the rock square . At that spot, he saw a stone statue . Meanwhile, that stone statue was holding onto a wooden staff . However, for some unknown reason, Lin Dong was unable to see his face . In fact, he felt like there was an incomparably mysterious light surging on that face, which prevented anyone from probing .

While Lin Dong was staring at that mysterious stone statue, he suddenly realized that the three Ancestral Symbols within his body were emitting a buzzing sound . In fact, it was a respectful and reverent noise . This caused the shock within his heart to intensify . Other than the Symbol Ancestor, who else in this world could make the Ancestral Symbols reveal such emotions?!

“Is that… the Symbol Ancestor?” Lin Dong asked cautiously .

Ying Huanhuan nodded gently . After which, she walked to the front of the stone statue, before she knelt down gently . Upon seeing this, Lin Dong also knelt down beside her . Ignoring the strength of the Symbol Ancestor, just the latter’s desire to protect this world, was sufficient to get Lin Dong to kneel down and respect him sincerely .

“Teacher . ”

Ying Huanhuan looked at the stone statue, before grief and yearning surged within her eyes . A long while later, she finally kowtowed three times in front of that stone statue before she finally stood up .

“There is a training ground created by teacher within this stone statue . I will send you inside . Moreover, unless you successfully create a Divine Palace, you will not be able to escape . ” Ying Huanhuan said .

“Huh?” Lin Dong was stunned . He laughed bitterly, “Isn’t this a little too cruel?”

It was no mean feat to form a Divine Palace . Otherwise, the Ice Master wouldn’t be the only one amongst the eight Ancient Masters, who was able to do so .  

“Why are you doubting yourself?” Ying Huanhuan used her icy blue pretty eyes to stare at Lin Dong before she asked .

Lin Dong inhaled a deep breath and nodded slowly . Then, he extended his arms before he pulled Ying Huanhuan into his embrace . Finally, he softly said, “You can be rest assured . Like I said, I will definitely surpass her . ”

Ying Huanhuan gently leaned her head on his shoulder before she said, “The training ground within the stone statue has a time warp ratio of one to ten . Previously, your strength has soared far too rapidly . You can take this opportunity to stabilize your strength . ”

Lin Dong nodded . The Symbol Ancestor was truly incredible . In fact, he was even able to do something as unbelievable as distorting the flow of time .

“Go in . ”

Ying Huanhuan gently swung her hand, before that stone statue began to squirm . After which, a light halo appeared . Meanwhile, it seemed as though there was an endless void within that light halo .  

When Lin Dong saw this, he nodded solemnly . Without further ado, he walked forward . After which, he entered the light halo in front of Ying Huanhuan’s eyes .

Buzz .

That light halo shook, before it disappeared stealthily . When Ying Huanhuan saw this sight, she released a deep breath . Subsequently, she extended her small hand from under her sleeve . As she looked at her transformed right hand, a complicated emotion flashed across her pretty eyes .
