Within the space of the Great Barren Tablet, Lin Yun heard this and smiled, "Yes, he's pretty much dead, but he still has some use."
As he spoke, he clenched his hand, and a beam of light from below landed in his grasp.
It was a palm-sized triangular crystal, but within it, a mass of Demonic Qi was coiled. Faintly, the Demonic Qi seemed to have transformed into a black bead the size of a dragon's eye.
"What is this?" Ling Qingzhu asked, surprised by the sight.
"Something quite good. The energy that exploded from that True King just now, I condensed it. If I encounter a strong enemy in the future, this energy..."
Lin Yun didn't finish his sentence, but Ling Qingzhu already understood.
After speaking, he shifted his gaze to the space within the Great Barren Tablet. The originally barren land now had much more lushness, and a faint vitality began to spread throughout the space.
In the center of that land, the evil blackness emanating from the Great Barren Tablet was also receding at an astonishing speed, replaced by an ancient sense of vicissitude.
"Now that the Demonic Qi is gone, the Great Barren Tablet should be recovering."
As soon as he finished speaking, light condensed in the distance, and an old figure slowly emerged. The old man had white hair and a gentle smile on his face. He smiled at Lin Yun and said, "Young friend, thank you."
"You're too kind, senior. I made a promise back then, so naturally, I had to fulfill it. After all, I also received senior's reward back then," Lin Yun said with a smile.
"Heh heh, you're truly a formidable young man. Now you can even kill a True King. I think I should also go out. I just don't know..." The Great Barren Tablet said with a smile, looking back and forth between Ling Qingzhu and Lin Yun several times.
Seeing this, Ling Qingzhu smiled faintly, "You are helpful to him, go with him."
"Heh heh, since the Ice Master has said so, then this old man will follow your words. Little brother Lin Yun, I wonder if you are willing to let this old man follow you?" The Great Barren Tablet said with a smile.
Lin Yun tilted his head and glanced at Ling Qingzhu, who smiled slightly.
He then nodded.
His original purpose for coming here was to be able to take in the Great Barren Tablet and make the final preparations.
"Let's go!"
With that, the two disappeared into the spatial rift.
Outside the Great Barren Tablet, two streaks of light shot out from the tablet and appeared in the sky. At this time, Ying Xuanzi and the others outside were all on high alert, their expressions solemn.
When they saw Lin Yun and Ling Qingzhu shoot out, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"How was it?" Ying Xuanzi couldn't help but ask.
He knew that if the Otherworldly Demon suppressed within the Great Barren Tablet escaped, it would bring devastating disaster to the Dao Sect.
"It's resolved," Lin Yun said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ying Xuanzi immediately let out a sigh of relief, feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
Lin Yun tilted his head, looking at the ancient Great Barren Tablet below. With a wave of his hand, streaks of light shot out from the Great Barren Tablet, and then the stone tablet quickly shrank, finally becoming palm-sized and landing in Lin Yun's hand.
With this item, and a little more time and power, he could complete the final goal.
Chen Zhen clicked his tongue, feeling a bit regretful seeing the Great Barren Tablet being taken away.
Seeing his expression, Lin Yun couldn't help but smile. Immediately, he clenched his hand, and his mental energy quickly condensed, directly forming a palm-sized stone tablet in his hand, which he then threw to Chen Zhen.
"This contains the cultivation method of the Great Desolate Scripture. However, this Martial Arts is too profound and mysterious. If one does not have talent, not only will they be unable to learn it, but it will also harm their body. Therefore, those who wish to comprehend it must undergo rigorous selection," Lin Yun said.
Chen Zhen quickly took it, and a look of joy couldn't help but appear on his old face. He immediately said, "Don't worry, this thing will definitely be comprehended by future generations."
Lin Yun smiled, looking at the empty land, and slowly exhaled.
The final step was finally completed. Now he just needed to wait for the right time.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Lin Yun also stayed in the Dao Sect.
The setting sun slowly descended, filling the entire sky with golden yellow.
Lin Yun stood on the mountaintop with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance.
After a long time, he sat down cross-legged.
"Let's first claim that Barren Holy Armor and take a look."
[Task: Obtain the Great Barren Tablet. Reward: Divine Item, Barren Holy Armor. Completed! Claim?]
"Claim!"
As his voice fell, a golden yellow armor immediately appeared before him. On this armor were dense runes, which constantly flickered, emitting an extremely strong Barren Power. The powerful Barren Power caused the mountaintop he was sitting on to quickly turn yellowish-brown.
Seeing this, Lin Yun waved his hand, and a silver-blue light directly struck the armor.
The silver-blue light, upon approaching within a foot of the armor, had its terrifying energy completely extinguished in a short time.
"Without any power enhancement, it can actually withstand my casual strike." Lin Yun was slightly surprised.
His casual strike was comparable to the full power strike of an ordinary Reincarnation Realm expert.
"It's indeed a good item!" Lin Yun pointed a finger, and Origin Power surged out, but it couldn't enter the Barren Holy Armor at all.
It seems this thing also needs to be controlled with mental energy. Thinking of this, his mental energy quickly flew out towards the Barren Holy Armor.
As soon as it entered the Barren Holy Armor, he felt an extremely vast power rush into his body.
Is it the same as Thor's Hammer again? Lin Yun's thoughts raced, a look of joy on his face.
This time, if he broke through again, the time for his plan could be infinitely shortened.
Thinking of this, Lin Yun immediately established a task in his mind.
[Task: Break through to Grand Symbol Master. Reward: Spirit +6, Comprehension +6.]
After the task was established, Lin Yun immediately began to rapidly refine the vast spiritual power within the Barren Holy Armor.
On the mountaintop, time flew by. At this moment, Lin Yun on the mountaintop seemed to be integrated with the world, intangible and undetectable, only visible to the naked eye.
Four months passed in the blink of an eye.
During these four months, many disciples of the Dao Sect felt worried, as they were not yet aware of the Yuan Gate's affairs.
For Lin Yun's plan, Ying Xuanzi and the others did not make the matter public, and even designated the area where Lin Yun was located as a forbidden zone.
However, some with keen perception could vaguely sense that above the Dao Sect, a force of extreme vastness and power was quietly gathering.
This force was ethereal and formless, yet it gave people a nearly tangible pressure. Only those strong in cultivating spiritual power could clearly sense the exact existence of that power, and then feel shock.
Because that force was actually a vast and endless spiritual power.
"What terrifying spiritual power, what is going on?"
