Devouring Symbol

Long Tian's POV:

I was now walking with the girls towards the desolate sect. Since we are nearly at the zenith, I will be able to avoid the protections and enter the Desolate sect. We are now practicing Ming Arts to improve our ranks. Mind arts also helps us to improve our mental capacity, thus improving our processing speed. Our observation haki is also improving since it is related to mind arts. We also enjoy our lives leisurely by touring some places and enjoying delicacies. I even took Long Yuyin dates in some cities and had some fluffy times.

Now we stand before the entrance of the sect, which is hidden under certain spells that can only unlock at certain times. Since I am proficient at space and time laws, I easily wrapped the girls with space law and entered the barrier. The land was barren with no vegetation. Long Yuyin asked, "Where are we? I can sense some living lifeforms beneath the land. Also, there are some towers covered with Yin winds and some pillar at the center of the desert.".

I said, "We are the ruins of once flourished Desolate Sect. The sect master was the previous Devouring symbol ancestor who once sealed a devil with his devouring symbol. The students and the teachers once fought the devil, which killed them without batting the eye. It only wants to devour life to sustain. That is why the once flourished land became barren without any vegetation.". I then saw the tower with Yin wind. If my memory serves right, this is the place where Lin Dong and Martin would meet the Devouring Ancestor.

We easily passed through the wind and reached the top of the tower. There was a skeleton sitting in a meditative position controlling the winds. I said, "Make contact with me. If my hunch is right, we will be seeing the Devouring ancestor soon.". I then touched the skeleton, and we went to a memory lane. In that memory, a dark being broke the space and started to devour the lifeforce of this land. Many Nirvana realm practitioners tried to suppress the being, but it killed them cruelly. At last, the sect leader, the devouring ancestor, arrived and utilized the ancestor symbol.

I was able to see and sense the devouring symbol. It was like a black sun that devours anything in existence. The construct was similar to that of a black hole, only that it has an equivalent exchange program installed in the symbol. It seems that anything devoured by the symbol would convert it to primal energy. I now started to construct the symbol according to the memory. Outline and source code was entered into my brain and started to construct the symbol in my mind. I saw the symbol as a cluster of the program and my mind like a supercomputer.

When we came into this world, I was able to sense unique energy that is clustered together and forming a fetus. This was the zenith energy that helped Lin Dong to ascend into Martial Venerable or in our terms Martial Emperor. I was able to collect that energy and store it in my body. Now I use that energy as a base and construct my devouring symbol. Zenith Energy is similar to origin energy in 'Battle through the heavens' novel. I then added a program, that energy produced from the symbol would be zenith energy.

In my natal palace, a unique black sun was formed at the center, surrounded by 7 empty slots. I started to meditate, adapting my mind and evolving my mental energy to hold the symbol. Finally, the word 'Devour' was formed at the center of the symbol. When I opened my eyes, I saw the devouring ancestor looking at me. His face was of shock and perplexion. His body was shaking. With his quivering voice, he asked, "W-who are you? How are you able to create a devouring symbol? It is impossible to create a similar one with the same potency.".

I chuckled at his question. I said, "First of all, Greetings to devouring ancestor. Thanks to your memory, I was able to study and complete the symbol. The symbol I created is still in the infant stage. It still has miles to reach its true potential. And for who we are, let's just say that Yimo's aren't the only one, that exists in the outer realm. For why are we here? To learn the mental energy and to reach the pinnacle in that art.".

He immediately began to exert his wisp of energy and asked, "Are you a threat to humanity and this world?". I simply released my true power for a fraction of second, his intent was on the verge of complete destruction. I said, "Do you think that you can stop me with that intent? If I am a threat, with my power, I would have destroyed this world. Also, humanity's savior will come to this place soon, with a celestial demon. He will be the one to collect all the symbols and would become the second symbol ancestor. i also know that the symbol was stolen from this place. Tell him about that and show him the correct way.".

He then said, "If what you are saying is true, then I will help him in his endeavor. Thank you for telling me this information. unfortunately, my intent is going to dissipate due to the exposure of your power.". I just waved my hands and suddenly the-wisp became bright. I said, "I have strengthened your remnant memory now. I also know that you will reincarnate again due to your cultivation. Good luck.". We then left the place to continue our journey.
